for god's sake. No, really.

Right. I bet you hadn’t thought of this use for peanut butter (no, not that :



Such breathtaking ignorance and conceit has to be admired, I suppose...

I'm sure if I should laugh or cry.

Indeed.

Those arguments would take me substantially longer than the video's runtime to debunk, largely because they're based on reams of flawed assumptions, and statements with zero evidence to back them up. Sure, if you could take the words at face value, the logic might mean something, but they're disguising some pretty complicated errors of fact and understanding.

That's why I fucking hate dealing with people like that. You have to spend so long breaking them down before you can start rebuilding.

There is no way of debunking those arguments really, as they are not based in reason. Logic, reason, the current state of science, the fossil record won't suffice one bit. They can make a slick presentation of such juvenile arguments and... unfortunately, it probably works. Aah, so that's what evolutionists think? They're a crazy bunch, aren't they...

All the parts of their arguments that they purport to be science -- those are the easiest to debunk, because they are asking for scientific reasoning and processes to be applied. That's the part that actually gets me riled: charlatans purporting to be carrying out or explaining science.

The rest is a bunch of crap that anybody in their right mind would reject.

peanut butter

Hadn't that jar already been opened? It looked like the foil was loose to me - does that mean that they checked it didn't have new life in it already?

If they'd left it open a couple of days they would have found life in it, for sure....:P

I think that saying these people more or less control the US is like saying that the UK is more or less controlled by the BNP. These people are considered loonies by most Americans.

[identity profile] flavius-m.livejournal.com 2008-10-13 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Point taken and you are right. But it would seem to be the case that those pressure groups have far more say and influence there than here. It is not a fair comparison but to carry on with the analogy, it would be inconceivable to have somebody from the BNP or with sympathies for those policies running for office here. It certainly would not be inconceivable to have a creationist running for office in the USA. We may even have one at the moment.
