What I find interesting is that all but one of these "scientists" were around before the the twentieth century - talk about scraping the barrel!
It's rather silly to bolster your case by bringing up people without any modern philosophical or scientific knowledge. Most high schoolers have more general scientific knowledge about the world than almost all of the people on that list.

Yes that is a bit like trying to claim the Earth is flat because some scientists believed it was true. Hundreds of years ago.

He's fun, in a scary way. Give him a chance and he'll tell you how the humble banana is proof positive of God's existence. Check out YouTube.
As someone who considers himself religious and at least semi-intelligent (a combination that probably already disqualifies me in some people's eyes), I find these fundies painful beyond belief. If God exists, He must be terminally embarrassed by these idiots professing to speak in His name. They make the Chewbacca Defense sound like a masterpiece of logical reasoning.

I wonder how Cameron and Co. explain the coconut: one of the most nutritious and versatile fruits, and yet one of the most difficult to open. If only it folded neatly over my fingers, or something.

Yeah, and he should explain to me why the Creator of all Things decided to make my ass sweaty every morning.

I think coconuts might qualify as 'the dangerous fruits of evolution'.

If you don't want to work for it, you don't deserve it. God doesn't favour the lazy. Simple as that.
It's basically carrot and stick - with the banana being the carrot, and the coconut being the stick.
Completely logical, isn't it?
:angel::ebil:
(On a more serious note: the reasoning (hah!) used by Cameron & Co. is great, because any- and everything fits into it. There are no stringent, rigorous standards other than, "God did it, mhkay?")
Vivian on 24/6/2009 at 08:49
Which for some reason doesn't extend to 'God did evolution'.

What a disgusting fraud.
