Carl - as with many other evolutionists - have a very difficult case bringing scientific evidence against the Bible/Creation Message, and the advocates of Scripture.

You're right. It's very difficult to explain the evidence to a brainwashed population. When you spend your life believing in something because your parents told you it was so and that belief gives you a sense of hope for a better tomorrow that you do not know how to get from other sources because you were not taught how, you're most likely to cover your ears to anything you deem a threat. Or in the case of creation "science," cover your ears while screaming "Na-na-na-na-na!"
Reality shields locked in Captain!
Excellent Sampson, is the targetting system still down?
'Fraid so Sir, we had to route the full force of our stupidity into our defensive blocks.
Never mind space cadet, we'll sally forth firing blindly anyway - proceed with gay abandon.
You bet! What could be more scientific then an old book and a billion people giving you their word that it's true? Facts will have a tough time penetrating that wall of truth! (sarcasm, duh!)
"Advocates of Scripture"? So a bible thumper. Someone who suggests that one read the bible? Oh noes! They'll shut their eyes and ears to reality? Who'd a thunk it?
@Archangel Lucifer
You guys should go read the rest of his articles. Theres some shocking stuff there.
I'd rather not. Fundies are a health hazard.
Thats true. Evolutionists, to use the term, have a hard time presenting evidence against YEC to fundies (adovates of scripture) - much in the same way that family members have a hard time convincing an alcoholic that he has a drinking problem. Denial is a powerful defence mechanism.
Dr.Dino's rule book:
Rule #1. If the opposition has all the credible evidence and you have none, proclaim that they have no evidence, but you do. If the opposition refutes this, repeat your assertion louder and louder until you win the argument.
So, please, let´s put the full stuff once for all. Aren´t all creationist furious against evolution BECAUSE IT HAS FOUND PROOFS OF THE THEORY THAT WE DESCEND FROM A COMMON ANCESTOR TO THE MONKEY and we´re not going to believe in the Bible any more?. SO THERE IS SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE. Bizarro universe(fifth so far)
He had no problems whatsoever. In fac, Cosmos was seen by Christians, and enjoyed, by the way. The opposite about Dr Dino can't be said, on the other side.
Um, no, he hasn't. Are we talking Carl Sagan? He probably have a whole range of scientific evidence for evolution and against the biblical creation story.
The problem is not the bringing of evidence, but getting the fundies to listen to it with an open mind.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
