Evolutionary science, as we all know, is a fairytale constructed by non-believers, for non-believers. It's a gift of sorts. A demented gift, but a gift. It's the gift of a belief system dreamed up so they can all live happily ever after, safe and secure in their own little world of fantasy -- with no fear of judgment, no fear of right and wrong, no fear of disobedience, no fear of immorality, no fear of eternal damnation. It's the gift of earthly disobedience flanked by the promise of eternal nothingness and non-accountability.
Every piece of evidence, every detail, every artifact must pass through the gate of natural selection, otherwise known as peer review. If a piece of evidence does not fit through the pickets of the gate, it gets discarded, hidden, or recategorized so the general population remains unaware of it.

I have heard that before. From people who never go to a library or know how to search for info. Unless it is put in front of their own nose, they say there is a conspiracy to hide information.It's all out there if only they want to look.
And it isn't true opinions are quelched if they don't pass peer review. Anyone can publish anything anytime and have it publicly accessible.
This is just another of those tactics to discredit scientific method and scientists.

A fairytale you say. Evolution does not posit any fairies, angels, demons, ghosts or resurrected humans. Which one is the fairy tale?

No belief that an eternal sky daddy will make it all right if we make some boo-boos.

Yes, it is obedience that is at the heart of every religion. Obey the revelation that we say comes from the unknowable God through us, and everything will be ok.

Yes, that is a good plan. You should try it sometime.

It is not the evidence that gets discarded by peer review but the hypotheses that are attempts to explain the evidence.
So close, yet so far.
"Evolutionary science, as we all know"
Like I always say, as soon as you read the words "as we all know" or similar, you can stop reading.
Wouldn't a fairtale need supernatural elements like faires, dragons, gods, demons, and magic. Yet none of this stuff exists in science and just oozes out of the Bible.

A fairytale? I dunno, last time I checked the ToE hadn't talking, flaming shrubbery or magic zombies...

You know, if you want to live in constant fear (not healthy IMO, but it's your life), there are more than enough real things to fear. No need to create an imaginary bully... As for accountability, Id don't know for you but I feel accountable to the law, to my fellow humans and to my own conscience.
The only thing evolution contradicts is a 100% literal belief in the Bible - a rabid cult inhabited by a very small minority of Christians, almost exclusively in the U.S. south, and virtually non-existent in the rest of the world. The majority of Christians have no problem with it, at least in its "theistic evolution" form. And Genesis is contradicted by all sorts of science besides evolution, so it would still be nonsense even if evolution were proved wrong tomorrow.
... no fear of judgment,
Correct. I do not fear judgement from your imaginary policeman.
no fear of right and wrong,
Why would I fear right and wrong? I guess I may fear some of the wrong but apart from that...
no fear of disobedience,
You mean as a result of possible retribution from your invisible friend? Not a chance, dumbass. Why the fuck would I live in fear of some imaginary bronze-age dickweed of a god?
no fear of immorality,
Your religion does not have a monopoly on morality so cram it up your arse.
no fear of eternal damnation...
No. No fear of that either.
Shit. You seem to be living in constant fear there, supersport. No wonder you're so fucked up.
Sorry, but a book where they depict incest, speaking animals, genocide or rape as "history", "morals" or "science", is not to be meant to be taken literarilly, if one wants to save its soul.
Halt! You are in violation of papabear's first law, which states "No papagraph which starts with 'as we all know' is worth a damn."

And, that is a GOOD thing, superdork.
Creationism, as we all know, is a fairytale constructed by believers, for believers. It's a gift of sorts. An irrational gift, but a gift. It's the gift of a belief system dreamed up so they can all live happily ever after, safe and secure in their own little world of fantasy -- with no fear of judgment, no fear of right and wrong, no fear of disobedience, no fear of immorality, no fear of eternal damnation. It's the gift of earthly disobedience flanked by the promise of eternal bliss and non-accountability just as long as you admit you are a sinner and you GIVE YOUR SOUL TO JESUS RIGHT NOW OR FACE AN ETERNITY BURNING IN THE HELL YOU DESERVE, EVIL SINNER, BURN! BURN! BURN MUUAAHHHHAAA!.
"Scientific creationism, as we all know, is a fairytale constructed by fundie, for fundies. It's a gift of sorts. A demented gift, but a gift. It's the gift of a belief system dreamed up so they can all live happily ever after, safe and secure in their own little world of fantasy -- where we all sit on clouds wearing whiter robs, wings and a halo, playing a harp, while a giant man with a long white beard who lives on a cloud takes care of us. It's the gift of earthly peasures flanked by the fun of saying NYAH NYAH NYAH to the heathens burning in hell.
Every piece of evidence, every detail, every artifact must pass through the gate of political correctness, otherwise known as scriptural infallibility review. If a piece of evidence does not fit through the pickets of the gate, it gets discarded, hidden, or recategorized so the fundie sheep remain unaware of it."
Fixed.
No, you're thinking of the oil / car companies who do whatever and are always unaccountable.
Remember the EV1... Discarded and hidden. *cry*
I could take you to a good natural history museum so you can see lots of that evidence for yourself. But I don't think I could stand you going "la la la la la" for a couple of hours, or walking into walls because you have your eyes squeezed shut,
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
