Last Saturday, the 24th, I started a thread asking what people were doing to celebrate the upcoming 200th birthday of Darwin.

There were many posts that pointed out how Evolution is only a theory, a "guess" if you will. After reading several arguments, I have become enlightened. I'm Born Again! (Actually, since I now believe that life begins at conception, I think of myself as "re-conceived" rather than born again).

Anyhow, this whole Evolution/Theory business got me thinking about all of the other "scientific" crap out there. All of their stupid little theories! So, I came up with a little quiz (below) where you take a "scientific theory" from the first list and try to match it with the correct biblical explanation. The scientific "explanations" are numbered and the True answers begin with "A", "B", "C" etc.

Good luck! And if you have any other silly science stuff (SSS!) you'd like to include, please do!

1. Theory of Evolution.
2. Theory of Plate Tectonics.
3. Theory of Gravity.
4. Big Bang Theory.
5. Theory of Relativity.
6. Atomic Theory. *


A. Intelligent Stickiness.
B. Jesus = Going to Mass (quickly)2
C. Creators Crust Movement.
D. Armageddon.
E. In the Beginning...
F. Creation Science.

*Remember, 1 thru 6 are only theories, which means that scientists are just guessing!

No cheating (god knows everything and he's everywhere!)

Item 2 provable - observable - measurable
Item 3 provable - observable - measurable
Item 4 provable - observable - measurable
Item 5 provable - observable - measurable
Item 6 provable - observable - measurable

Item 1 not provable - not observable - not measurable

Sorry David you lose!

Oh, I wanted you to take the quiz.

I'l give you a hint by supplying one correct answer and then I'll let you do the rest!

"2" = "C"

Now you try!

Now now David you're starting to a like a spoiled little kid who didn't get his way. You just can't get over the fact the if you apply the scientific method to evolution evolution is nothing more than an educated guess.

Now now David you're starting to a like a spoiled little
kid who didn't get his way. You just can't get over the
fact the if you apply the scientific method to evolution
evolution is nothing more than an educated guess.

The conservative judge in Dover, PA disagrees with your lame statement. You might want to pick up a copy of his brilliant ruling. Matter of fact, you might want to read the entire transcripts of the trial. All of your made-up, foolish arguments make the rounds in testimony after testimony by moronic characters from The Discovery Institute and blah-blah-blah, only to be shot down, over and over again, by people that know what they're talking about.

I do find it funny that you think that you are brighter than practically all of the world's scientists, biologists, chemists, doctors, paleontologists, etc. combined! That sure takes some hubris!

Because the vast majority of the professionals that I just mentioned are also responsible for so many of the wonderful things that make life better, and since they are way smarter than I am, I don't really need to defend my position against yours. I can be quite satisfied that they are providing all of the correct answers, while at the same time I'm quite satisfied knowing that you get your talking points from some of the most discredited fringe goofballs that the world has ever seen!

I can only imagine what you are going through now that Obama is President. His immediate discussion about returning science to its rightful place in government decision making must have you doing a slow burn.

David,

If evolution is true, how do you explain the existence of mcn779? Doesn't he contradict the concept of evolution?

;-)

ROFLMAO...

I love how bible thumbers call evolution only a theory that can't be proven, but consider the concept of God (a silly theory in it's own right) a certainity.

At least with evolution there are examples that can be sited. Like snakes with remnants of limbs, homo-sapien skeletal remains in varying degrees of development from primates to today's church go'ers.

With belief in God you have what to go on...? Condensation on statues, and images on the backs of moths...funny stuff.
....Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

davidcasemore I can neither prove or disprove evolution but neither can any of the other 6,750,000,000 people roaming this planet. I am using your standard the scientific method. As you have stated on this thread and other this is the standard for trueth. smokinghot God can not be proven or disproven but that isn't the discussion and your choice of words is excellent evolution a theory God a concept. I can't and don't expect you to believe in God and that is far from a function of logic or inttelect. The discussion is that evolution is taught as reality when held up to the scientific method it can not be proven making only a hyphotosis.

As far as Obama's "science" he and Al Gore need to watch that video thread After they get done they need to look at the growing mountain of evidence that man made global warming is a joke/schrade/scam/fraud/just bad science. That the push for man made global warming is being made for political and monittary reasons and that the anti-global warming faction are facing many of the "tactics" that the video said people looking for the real answer from science should be warry of from the detractors from religion.

I have no problem with evolution being taugth but it needs to be taught correctly - as a theory.

Not at all. He's just not as far along on the evolutionary scale. I imagine he might look sort of like a fish, but one that needs to buy shoes.

I hear ya! Ouch! (sorry, I just fell on my tail bone).

But maybe they're onto something because...

... I don't think, as of yet, anybody has seen the image of Darwin in their grilled cheese sandwich. From that, we can conclude that Darwin didn't even exist.
