Oh, which reminds me, how is it provable that all this "evidence" of skeletons and DNA isnt some fabrication devised to act as "proof" for the unprovable? Modern technology can certainly create molds or modifications to a skeleton to make it appear to be something that it is not.

Dammit Rockstar! I wanted to say that.
Well then... uh... shit I got nothing now. Stop ruining good movies, though.
This is another qoute from TPB posted later on in the thread.
"If someone is set on "proving" something, you never know. I was just throwing it out there for arguments sake."
I think there's a basis for a rather good description of creationism in that qoute.
Just because "modern technology" can do something does not mean that such things could have been accomplished readily at any (let alone every) point in history. Besides, if we are willing to be skeptical enough to leave upon the possibility that DNA and skeletons are fabrication, then we should warrant a similarly excessive skepticism to all other things, essentially forfeiting our ability to prove anything in the process.
You're only half right. Scientists didn't create the fossils, their master Satan did. And the Nephilim spent about five years burying them all over the world. It pissed god off so much, he magicked a bunch of extra water from outerspace and...um....uh, the core of the earth and flooded the sh*t out of everything. Then he drank the extra water, the fake fossils were redeposited on mountain ranges. Then Noah got drunk, his son saw him naked, and science was born. Soon thereafter Darwin sold his soul to master Satan on the Galapegos islands. He sacrificed swimming iguanas and birds with specialized beaks to seal the deal. This pretty much brings us up to date (excluding the world-altering discoveries of L.R.Hubbard, but that's for another post).
Read up on it. It's in books and stuff.
Oh, you mean like how Christian leaders destroyed (or hid until they could use it for their own plans) information discoveries?
Oh no, that's right. Modern techs don't do that, but fundies still do.
Riiiight. The millions of people in the sciences are all in flawless collusion for hundreds of years to fake fossils and, more recently, to faked DNA and other evidence supporting the ToE. Does that seem likely to you?
More likely is that weak-minded and/or weak-charactered persons cling to creationism and other Bible twaddle because it tells them they are special and cared for, and that makes them feel good.
I don't know. How do we know the Bible isn't a fabrication meant to deceive people? In fact wouldn't it be simpler. With evolution you wold have to go around planting all those fake fossils, and genes, and vestigial organs but with religion you just have to write a book.
Of course, we atheists can and do such a thing.
Oh, which reminds me, how is it provable that all this "evidence" of prophecies and stuff isnt some fabrication devised to act as "proof" for the unprovable? Ancient writing can certainly contain errors and deliberate re-writes to make it appear to be something that it is not.
This is me, holding my head very still, until the pain from the whiplash hopefully wears off. If the holding my head still method doesn't work, I have no problem resorting to my friends Jack, Jim and Johnnie.
"Modern technology can certainly create molds or modifications to a skeleton to make it appear to be something that it is not"
It CAN, but it doesn't.
When the fuck did evolution become this big scientific conspiracy to destroy (only) Christianity?
Some of these people come off as actually WANTING to be opressed.

And before William of Ockham...:
'Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. '
-Marcus Aurelius
Seems this ancient Roman won the bet before Pascal had even been born to make his 'Wager'...! [/smartarse]
'I am Optimus Prime, and I send this message so that our past will always be remembered. For in those memories, we live on. '

Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
