I thought that his theories on the Grand Canyon were fairly interesting. Flood mythology is a part of many cultures around the World.

The Badlands in South Dakota are thought to have been carved out by a massive flood. In theory at the end of the last great Ice age, huge lakes were formed by ice dams, as those dams thawed, huge floods carved out the Earth.

Remember, that this guy is telling his observations from his cultural perspective. If you were listening to a native's story from Jakarta, about how the sea sometimes wakes up and eats all the people, you might have discounted his story as superstition, until a giant Tsunami comes along. Yes, his story is culturally biased, but he does bring up interesting points about how incomplete Science is.

You have to get over your attitude of "what a fucking bunch of stupid religious fucks!" Remember in relative terms everyone, you and me included, are stupid and ignorant. Its when we forget how much we really don't know that we run the risk of becoming more stupid and more ignorant than everyone else.

You generally find though that many people who believe in a scientific method to gain reason and understanding that they are aware of their ignorance.

I have heard many scientists say they don't understand everything and will strive to find the answers and look for facts until then they are "stupid" to many of the universes many mysteries. The difference is that religion insists it has all the answers now and you often find that these vary from person to person even though each person is convinced they are correct.

Religion is a tunnel vision and science isn't if one day a scientist found proof of a god they would be the first to admit it and bring it to the people, however, the more we learn about life and out understanding the more we realise that religion is flawed, outdated and often very dangerous to the advancment of knowledge.

Religion is bullshit because unlike science it is static and not dynamic. Religious nuts are pushing the same thing now that they were a thousand years ago. As keefka points out science itself does not oppose religion. Science is the study of our world. The reality is that our world opposes the religious doctrine pushed by these 'douche bags' and they can't handle it so they ignore reality. Scientists accept that their theories may well be changed for the better in years to come as new evidence is unearthed. Religion ignores new evidence and continues to tell the same lies it always had. The complexity argument is fucking ridiculous because it lacks a very specific causal link.

"We are complex" - Alright so far

"Evolution could not create something so complex" - Are you gonna prove that at all or just say it and hope it sounds better than it looks on paper?

"Only god could have" - Again where is your evidence. Anyone using this kind of logic is not a scientist. Intelligent design is bullshit. As for being taught in schools...

I believe that we were created by a group of super intelligent cardboard boxes. Let's teach them that, because, after all, if you're going to tell a lie make it a good'un.

We are the mere hobos in the cardboard boxes and there are plenty of carboard boxes in the park.

Why does God hate plants so much? He created them too didn't he? Why is everything eating plants before original sin? If I were a tree I'd be pissed. Though if I were a believer in creationism I'd just forget that plants are living things to and can be killed by being eaten just like an animal.

I don't know but I think that students would benefit most by understanding the debate, rather than being left to understand only one side of the issue whichever side it is.

It seems to me that the Religious folks are not trying to prevent the Theory of Evolution from being taught, but want an alternative explaination also presented. Atheism is a religion just as much as Christianity is a religion. I think that its just as possible that life happened randomly, as some superior intellect created it. Why close doors, and how is it dangerous to the advancement of knowledge to say that there is no evidence of macro-evolution?

Education should leave you with more questions than answers.

Anyone could be made to look retarded when their statements are taken out of context.

That guy's lecture takes a freakin hour to listen to, and some of it is Biblical scripture, but the guy does have a few interesting points, like Geological dating and stuff like that.

He's right about not being able to use radio carbon dating on fossils, they are rocks.

He also has some interesting ideas about the petrified trees extending through different layers of rock sediment.

guys, you can make 200+ dollars a month just for filling out surveys, usually around a dollar each but they add up. the surveys are easy and only take a couple minutes. each month they send you your money by paypal. do a little research online and it'll shut you up instantly.
by referring other people you get 20% of their profits (this doesn't take away from your profit, so it's a win-win)
sign up, refer other people and make some easy dollars, right now

All I can say is: Prove that ANYTHING happened in the bible. Untill then is fiction. Nothing has been proven. Not even ANYTHING.
Bones have been found and "proven" some 60 milion years old, or is it 5 milion. Who gives a dump. No human bones that has ben found have ever been recorded older than 5000 years old.
I once debated an atheist over this. I told him that God planned this in advance, or that the famous 6 days in the bible could easily have taken place in 6 milion years. I lost none the less. He proved everything I had wrong. I just wish I was half as smart. Today I fear no god, so I guess I realy am half as smart.
Speaking od the bible I have some concerns about Noah's ark. 2 of each animal? Only 2? Wouldn't that implicate inbreed? And with human count over 4 one would believe THAT is the reason why humans were dominating. But they were dominating even before Noah. How else could he gather the animals? ....I had more to say, but I'm too drunk. I'd love to continue.
