"if you read this you find that the Flood was real."No, still thinkin' the Flood's a big lie.
"That weve always been as we have been."
No, what you mean is: "That weve always been as we have been is a crack-pot assertion made by ignorant dinkwads."
"it was done quickly because its not decayed and its on its tail."
Uh, there just may be other reasons for those things.
"Darwin was saying that stronger traits make a better animal."
No, that is a very poor representation of what Darwin contended. The ToE asserts that traits which significantly improve the survivability of a species will naturally accummulate in that species leading to a species better adapted to it's environment.
"end of story"
Already? Read me another one, Mommy.
"mutation is not good so dont give me that ."
Many mutations are not good, but sometimes a mutation give an individual and his offspring an advantage.
"He wanted to be a priest and i dont think he wanted to be an antichrist so he wasn't trying to make evolution"
"Jeez! fruitsalad, use some punctuation.
Are you still talking about Darwin?
"the people after him who have been sucking helium did it"
"sucking helium?" Did what, talked in sqeaky, high-pitched voices?
"our world is deterating."
"deterating?"
"oh,now i remeber."
Not only should you use punctuation, you should use it so that it clarifies meaning of your sentences.
"weve all have had a helium ballon(personally i think evolutionist have been sucking in helium)we alll know that its a very slippery gas"
"a very slippery gas?" No, we most certainly do not all know that.
"theres some deposits in the stuff that makes granite the rock."
Well, there it goes, my Fundie parser has finally jammed.
"if its very slippery why is it still in there maybe the earth is a lot younger"
Younger than what?
She flunks readin' and 'ritin' - let's hope she learned some 'rithmetic.if it[']s very slippery[,] why is it still in there[?] maybe the earth is a lot younger[.]
If she thought this up herself, it's actually clever (assuming by "slippery" she means light). Of course, we know now that helium is produced by radioactive decay, but a century or so ago, this might have been a good argument.
Holy shit! Reading that piece of mental diarrhea made me dizzy.
One of the weirdest things is that fundies think that just because somebody tries to remake the same nonsense they have been saying less boorish, it´s ok. Well, Darwin was indeed a very religious man, before he had his faith crisis, that´s more to him and the proof that he had to think twice before formulating his theory.
...okay, I struggled through this, and here's what I came up with.disproves a claim of flood evidence. Thus Pear starts on the wrong foot.
- Pear then makes the usual "We didn't come from no monkeys!" claim.
- The "its on its tail" line refers to the believed position of the fossil whale mentioned on the talkOrigins page (and she's wrong, by the way).
- Pear then segues into trashing the theory of evolution by misinterpreting Darwin.
- Pear then claims that Darwin was not trying to contradict religious beliefs with "The Origin of Species", but that the scientists after him used his work to attack religion.
- As others have noted, Pear makes an odd attack on science - she claims that believers in evolution have been huffing helium.
- The last line, as far as I could puzzle it out, claims that helium decay rates in granite disprove the old-earth timeline. This claim I've seen debunked elsewhere.
...ow, my brain. I need Dawkins, 61...
Plenty of periods, it seems, though poorly spaced. Besides, even given that, picking on punctuation in such a, uh, masterpiece is sort of like complaining that the blinker on the car doesn't work after you've just been t-boned by a tractor trailer.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
