Science is always wrong.

Interesting how you can type that on a computer that was constructed through the research and development work of....science. That monitor? Science. The phone lines? Science. The lights you have on to see the keyboard? Science. Ever had the flu? There's a 1 in 5 chance that you are only alive because of science, 'cause that's how many people used to die of it before science.
And your beloved KJV? Written at the request of a probable homosexual, who gave very specific directions on how he wanted certain versers to read. (For example, he didn't like "poisoner," so he made them change it to "witch." He wasn't interested in burning poisoners, and in any case, that's something he would have had to actually prove. "Witchcraft" is so much more conveinent...)
Sandman -
Very good. Another KEY word that was re-translated for KJV was "tyrant". The Geneva Bible, used by Calvinists, used the word "tyrant" everywhere the Bible made mention of a human monarch. James wasn't thrilled about that one bit. So he had that recast as "king," "lord," whatever.
My 100th contribution to fstdt! Hooray for me! :-)
Actually, KJV -- wouldn't it be more like, "Science is great when it agrees with what I believe about the Bible, but science of the devil when it contradicts what I believe about the Bible"?
Another "pick and choose" cafeteria-type fundie...
Except for the whole thing about natural laws, and pretty much, oh, everything. Gravity? Correct. Science. Heliocentric universe? Correct. Science.
Ad nauseam.
Well that's a wide ranging statement.
So we're going back to the Earth is flat, is the centre of the universe, is 6,000 years old, etc, etc?
First up - get off the internet, give your computer back, switch off your electricity, your applicances, your clothes, and all the modern conveniences please.
All these things were given to you by people who believed in science.
"Science is always wrong."
This is a nice argument, kind of like "Everything I say is a lie".
Breaking New!
Science just proved God's existence, and everything in the bible was right. Praise and rejoicing around the world...
Oh wait, science is always wrong, there really is no god.
='(
Science can be loosely thought of as based on the scientific method. So if science is always wrong, then the scientific method is also fair game.
Leading to irrational leaps and unsupported claims.
It's all so clear now!
Tell that to the millions of people who's lives have been saved by modern medicine, airbags, and smoke & carbon monoxide detectors.
Tell that to the many millions more who were able to spend this holiday season with their loved ones, thanks to the combustible engine and the jet engine (probably the same thing, I never claimed to be good at science).
Tell that to yet many millions more who are communicating with one another as we speak, thanks to the microchip, the phone line, and wireless technology.
What's with this fascination with the KJV?
Did Moses and Abraham speak in Elizabethan English with God?
Was Jesus a white man, dressed in pouffy pants, tights and a cape? Like this:

Yay, I've posted my first picture. Sorry for the size...
he says while using a computer, which runs on principles discovered by science, posting on the Internet, which was originally created for the use of scientists.
So you didn't use a computer to type this retarded comment, and you did not post on the Internet, which came about through science? Then pray tell, how did it get here? GODDIDIT?
"Science is always wrong"
...KJVisLies typed away on a computer that didn't have on any of it's components 'Made by God', but instead, say, 'Made by Acer/ASUS/etc (mobo), Intel/AMD (CPU), NVidia/ATI (graphics card), Western Digital/Samsung/etc (HDs), and so on & so forth...!
And don't computer companies create their components in labs, staffed by Scientists ?!
@Blue the Thief
Use of Desugintou. Your argument is valid .
...desu~. X3
The science that created the computer you wrote that on, and the Internet on which you posted it? Sure, if it made it possible for you to do that, it is wrong, sometimes.
So, when creationists say that ‘real’ science supports creationism, they’re wronger.
When bible literalists say that science keeps finding things that support the Bible’s truth, THEY”RE even wrongerer.
This guy needs to be published.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
