He was ignorant in thinking he could prove creationism, not in believing in it.  Until something is proven to be false, I don\'t consider it ignorant to believe in it.

People have differing views on things, and that\'s fine.  It\'s when they think that theirs is the only correct one with such arrogance, and try to force their beliefs on other that I get annoyed.

The only way to solve this is to just have people respect the beliefs and opinions of others.  Just tell clowd to do so.

It\'s just that I\'ve gotten a little rusty (I\'ve begun to ignore ignorance on this scale rather than skewer it), and I felt like I needed a release.
I might not be able to change his mind, but it\'s easy enough to make them retreat completely into faith (or leave the thread entirely), rather than trying miserably to twist science to support his claims.


Wow man...we\'v been trying forever to explain it to him, and you blow us all away in one thread. My hats off to you. Welcome to the forums! I hope you plan to stay around. :)

BTW, Clowd, that comment about Jewish people was totally f\'ed up and uncalled for. I didn\'t dislike you at first, but I\'m starting to now. :mad:

why would it be up to clowd to decide whoses god\'s people are.  I was taught that god accepts everything and everyone and is forgiving.  

BTW, who are you to make such a bold statment.

ShadowHawk, that was a brilliant post!! Also like someone else said..no matter how well you explain things to this guy, you are wrong and he is right.

Welcome aboard, I look forward to more of your posts!

A timely article:
Scientific American\'s 15 Answers to Creationist Nonsense

Shockwave: Oh, sure, he\'s free to believe in it.  People are free to believe in ghosts, lighting fires with the mind, alien abductions, John Edward, the UFO behind Hale-Bopp, the divinity of David Koresh, Scientology, last tuesdayism, ESP, or the Invisible Pink Unicorn.  I consider it ignorance to believe in such things.
Yes, it\'s impossible to prove a negative--it\'s only possible to show that a certain thing is extremely unlikely to exist or happen in a particular manner.  
If someone really believe that aliens were responsible for the Pyramids, they are, frankly, ignorant.  They\'re ignorant on the scale of the Pyramids, they\'re ignorant on the construction methods of the time, they\'re ignorant on the capabilities of the nation at that time.
Clowd\'s ignorant of evolution and science in general.
John Edward fans are ignorant of his methods.
Scientologists are ignorant of...well, they\'re just ignorant.  :)

I will tell you that Jews are not Gods people anymore, and havent been for around 1900 years


I\'m not religious. Everybody knows that by now. But theres no way I\'d ever say anything like that to someone. I don\'t think anybody is dumb for believing religious things. Its their way. And who knows, they might be right.

As for me, I live my live by my own morals, taught unto me by my parents. I treat everyone with the same respect that I expect them to show me. If we have disagreements, then tough titties, move on. I don\'t kill, or have any urge to kill or hurt my fellow mankind. That goes for all races/religions. And I obey the law. I\'m helpful and kind and caring. Not to sound all in love with myself (too late :) ), but i\'m an all around good person. And someones gonna tell me that I\'m going to hell because I\'ve sinned? Psh...

To say the least, it will be interesting to see what Clowd has to say to ShadowHawks post.

 I can see it now...

"ShadowHawk, you prove nothing. Show me some facts. What facts do I have? The bible, I believe every little thing in it, so therefore, I\'m right and your wrong.

Clowd= 1
ShadowHawk=0

Man, do I have a small penis or what?"



He\'ll just avoid the question with dumb questions of his own, I\'m sure.

I have, just from the snow birds that come down every winter and insist on driving 15 MPH below the speed limit, turn from the wrong lane, and get in the way basically. Snow birds...


Edit- Tom G...


Of course he will. He is Clowd, nobody can make him look retarded. He will call him childish and such. Oh well...i wonder what goes on in his mind...or maybe not.
