The "lie" that we can physically observe happening in real-time?
Is he actually that stupid, or just counting on other people being that stupid?
Researching the Lie of Evolution
is such a weird turn of phrase even on its face. It is anti-science in the strictest sense. "Any amount of money investigating the veracity of claims is a waste, because we should just intuitively know the truth of all things."
Taken to its logical conclusion, this implies Ken Ham is claiming to be omniscient.
I have been to the Ark. It's weird.
They have some interesting exhibits where it's obvious that someone gave it a lot of thought. They dug in and thought about the tools and techniques that someone would have had available to build something like this 5000 years ago.
In some ways, it's a real monument to human achievement. But then the next exhibit just shrieks that there were definitely dinosaurs on the Ark and if you believe differently you're dumb as shit.
2/10. Food was awful.
My mother-in-law, who is very religious but basically never pushes it on me, once said to me, "it's really interesting. You don't have to be religious to enjoy it." I just nodded and smiled.
There were some aspects I liked. They demonstrated some construction techniques people could have used to build something similar 5000 years ago. That was neat. They used some carpentry found in archeological digs from the time. I am a sucker for some of the old PBS Nova specials on how ancient Egyptians build obelisks, pyramids, things like that.
It just gets buried in the schlocky pseudo-science really quickly. It's a hard pivot from sewage systems, to people riding dinosaurs like horses, to lap joints.
Satan took them and put them in rocks to fool you about evolution. Satan playing some serious 56D chess.
Their stance was that Noah only brought the little ones on the boat and left anything big behind. Then the little ones died out.
Kinda surprised they didn't just go for the easier "they all got left behind" explanation.
They immediately burrowed into the earth looking for food (with their shovels) and died of starvation at the bottom of their holes, which is why they're just bones now.
Evolutionary research HAS been a massive benefit to the human population. Virtually all medical research requires evolutionary biology to some extent.
Does he believe the inventions that allowed modern medicine and telecommunications were all inspired purely by God? (who only seems to 'inspire' religiously ambivalent scientists and researchers)
Ken Ham bitching about how tax dollars are spent is rich, since the fucker went to prison for not paying taxes.
Poll: is "$102 million dollars" "102-dollar million dollars" or "102 million-dollar dollars"?
I was gonna say "At least somebody paid taxes" ...
but I was thinking of Kent Hovind and Dinosaur Adventure Land
I read the bottom part first, and I was thinking, "Just because it was a film doesn't mean that the Titanic wasn't real."
