People will be incredulous about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but yet they're convinced that the entire universe was smaller than the head of a pin, and for no reason that anybody's adequately explained to me ... instantaneously became everything? Mmkay... I'm sticking with Jesus on that one; like, Jesus makes more sense.

Does it, though? Because Jesus is supposedly consubstantial with the christian god but somehow distinct, has supposedly always existed, but shares no character trait with the god of the old testament.
Plus he is supposed to have existed before the universe.
“People will be incredulous about the resurrection of Jesus Christ,”
Mostly because of the total lack of eyewitness testimony or even accounts from contemporaries. People you’d have expected to mention it, or mention the zombies getting up and wandering the streets, putting the frighteners on people.
“but yet they're convinced that the entire universe was smaller than the head of a pin,”
There’s evidence for it.
“and for no reason that anybody's adequately explained to me ...”
We don’t know is acceptable as an answer when we don’t know.
“instantaneously became everything?”
No. Creationists eem to think the Big Bang was a cornucopia and that’s where Earth came out…
"Mmkay... I'm sticking with Jesus on that one; like, Jesus makes more sense.”
Can you explain ‘why’ this makes what you call sense?
People will be incredulous about the Big Bang, but yet they're convinced that the universe needs a creator, beause everything that exists needs to come from something else, and for no reason that anybody's adequately explained to me ... god himself is something that exists yet did not need a creator? Mmkay... I'm sticking with Big Bang on that one; like, Big Bang makes more sense.
And just FYI, that’s hardly the only thing about creationism that does not make sense. Like, how can day and night exist before the Earth did, when day and night are dependent on Earth’s position towards the sun? Or how does an omnipotent being like god need 6 days to build one mudball? Especially since time didn’t exist yet back then apparently?
And the whole “god needs a creator dilemma” simply has no logical answer IMO. If everything that exists needs to come from something else that exists, then god must have come from something else as well. And if god did not come from something else, then god by definition does not “exist”. And if god is a nonexistent being, then the earth came from something that does not exist. Ergo, however you spin it, something CAN come from nothing by their very own arguments!

Joe, how many times does it need to be drilled in your denser than lead skull ”Men in Black” is not a documentary.
Frankly, that cat is more intelligent than you’ll ever be.

I honestly think that is FAR more accurate than you might first believe. Fundies really are some of the most egocentric & arrogant people on the planet (ironic, considering Pride is their worst sin).
I mean, how else would you explain that creationist fundies NEED to believe that their omnipotent god did NOT build an infinite cosmos of eternal wonders and diverse lifeforms that functions as a testament to “god’s greatness”, but rather that all of “creation” consists solely of and revolves literally around a single mudball inhabited by people who think they were made in god’s direct image and are the most special snowflakes ever?
I really believe that it’s less about “Biblical accuracy”, and more about the fact that they cannot STAND being anything less than the most important people in existence.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
