Why do people laugh at creationists?

Only creationists don’t understand why.

Creationists have learned through time that they CANNOT compete in the real world in any way particularly with numbers, so they don't even try. They make it a principle NOT to read something or someone who doesn’t buy into the creation myth. This means that they NEVER read the peer reviewed papers or the actual claims being made by the scientific community, nor do they read literature that is in any way deemed controversial. This means that we are looking at different datum’s which are not consistent. What this boils down to is that they are exclusively quoting from creation ‘scientists’ or any other NT biblical scholar (as long as they are creationists too) to the exclusion of everything else available including the work of the people they are slandering. This becomes obvious early in a discussion with any of the creationist I have met.  One of my favorites is the use of “kinds” to appease Noah and Co. because they don’t even know what ‘kinds ‘ means which is why they are constantly changing the context to suit their current ‘dilemma’. Hovind is of course the classic appeaser and the best known inmate (to me).

When creationist heavyweights cannot hold their own against a grade-schooler … well is there any reason to expect any better results when they are confronted and rebutted by actual scientists? I have never heard of one creation argument that presented any viable number at all, not one. Remember the tree of knowledge, well the first book of the bible makes it perfectly clear that human kind are unable to make any decisions about anything on their own unless revealed by the proper deity. I don’t know about you but I would like to speak with a creationist to whom god has made a revelation. It seems to me that they all rely on the revelations made to unknowns around the world and throughout time … for their personal absolute belief no actual interaction required. I can understand why god wouldn’t want to discuss things with me because it would lose that argument too, But surely the faithful creationists who believe everything they are told to the complete exclusion of reality, should merit some kind of communique from their all-seeing and all-powerful deity, surely?

PS - If you do not know everything, you are unable to know anything (???) is just so idiotic ... go Chad!!!

There is not one scholastically accepted school book (< college level) that ANY creationist can offer up as some kind of contradiction, let alone shred it as any open-minded person can do with a literal bible, simply by reading the whole thing through. Depending on your own level of education, find me an algebra book, geometry book, trigonometry book or calculus book (as far as I can stretch myself) and point out the errors. None of you creationists will even attempt this because all of you know up front that you cannot do it ... you just like to talk big by pretending to know things you CANNOT, you unquestionably believe in baseless magic and you fault the prowess of humanity at every opportunity even as you enrich your lives from their evil efforts. A few creation 'scientists' have actually submitted papers but very few of them were offered up for peer review (they prefer religious publications, fancy that) ... they do know where to publish their work don't they ... where people who themselves don't feel any need to prove anything either for their unbiased ‘review’ for sure. It is like the blind following the blind, my-oh-my … a faithful and unquestioning clientele what could be better than that??? So let’s see some biblical jewels then …

It has taken a while but I have come to the conclusion (having had the pleasure of discussing things with real Christians) that my disagreement is not with Christianity (which I do not believe) but instead with the buffoons who demand a literal biblical interpretation to the exclusion of everything else. Of course I am discussing YEC’s who appear to exist in quite a few different religions around the world, oh my. Well I don’t really care because the point is that ANYBODY alive today who claims the world to be less than 10,000 yo … is a mental midget of colossal proportions. This one simple but seemingly necessary belief renders everything they have to say about anything else null and void because the necessary foundational requirement for all their nonsense is demonstratively FUBAR. I have never seen so much slander by complete scientific incompetents spreading their ‘inerrant words of nonsense’ gleaned from other incompetent creationists. Well those days are over. I think I am going to start making my own YouTube videos because it is circulated much more widely than a post where there are a limited number of people willing to read it and make honest discourse on this topic. The following video is a rendition of the approach necessary to trash creation BS. It is just a matter of time when the Abrahamic god(s) are returned to insignificance from whence they all came. There are 36 videos in ‘TheLivingDinosaur’s channel’ and they all follow this format … lots of laughs there for sure. [PP Simmons under the scalpel]

PS – There is some nudity and unchristian language so you have been forewarned, hahaha. I believe I have expressed these excuses and other self-induced ignorance's in my posts ... but I like this scientific approach much better.

Nudity is totally needed for science.
Not a problem for me anyway. I have spent quite some time in my birthday suit when I wanted to get 'back to my roots' so to speak, a few wrinkles ago anyway. People seem to be more inclined to tell the truth when all they are hiding behind is their birthday suit too. Plenty of nudist camps around you know ... or is taking your close off a juju taboo too? I find it strange that you as a non-Catholic would engender their creation myth LITERALLY when you yourself stated that “I [you] don’t even see the need for the OT anymore” … so pardon me if I seem confused here, what else could I be???  

When your fingers were less constrained by emotion, when you had the energy to manage more than a few words at a time without a prolonged rest, you made it clear you were a YEC. If you want to ‘change’ your mind now then by all means do so, otherwise I will continue to treat you as I do all the other irrational conspiracy theorists. If you continue with your puerile ‘beliefs’ that ‘… it just doesn’t work’ or ‘there is NO evidence at all’ or continue to believe whatever the 0.1% of the scientists worldwide (as opposed to the 99.9% is mind boggling) whom by the way the scientific community itself has dismissed as buffoons trumpeting creationism and a six thousand year old universe over science reality with their every breath. All I can say is if you have to have a sugar daddy in the ether then pick one that is not the invention of the RCC or one that cannot so easily be proven to be faked. Thor is one of my favorites and he doesn’t make anyone do anything naughty a really good fellow (take my word for it) … like repeatedly lying for a lost cause without a stitch of evidence at all, go figure. Ignorance is no excuse not today when you are limited by nothing besides a life long brainwashing promoted by the lack of a personal backbone of your own. Is your god so fragile that a peek or two under the covers frightens him ... or you?

Don't misquote me.

 

Seeing people who are not my spouse naked would make me lust after them instead of her.  Simple.  Easier to not have a comparison.

For instance ... after you get your breath back? Do I need to go back and fetch your own comments for you too ... so you can remind yourself again … don't hold your breath until you acknowledge that you are a YEC or not??? As energy becomes available, a one word answer wouldn't be asking too much would it (yes or no ought to do it). Then we will see.

I never said that about the Old Testament.

Answer the ONE question please, then I will go fetch what you didn't say (for you) because you seem to prefer to deny everything being so well practiced at it ... pretty simple though huh. For one claiming they are an accountant who programs some ... you seem to have a difficult time with numbers, so I too wonder how this could be so???Anyway, thanks for the disinformation ... I do so like to wield my actual verbal truth detector at every convenience.

Never mind, as I was searching for your foolish OT comment (assumed you would eventually get around to an answer) when I found this jewel which answers every question I need answered to no longer consider you rational or worth conversing with. Any adult today who doesn't at least understand the principles of evolution, which you seem clueless about yourself well the term here is self-explanatory, there is that much evidence. Until you come to exist in the same real world I do, there isn't anything I need from you except the truth but I don't think that is forthcoming. Thought I could look up what I needed much quicker than waiting for you to answer such a difficult yes or no question is all. I have not found your foolish statement but now I don't need to research it further.

So, my statement to you is that the age of the earth is currently in that state of miscarried justice. There are facts that are unknown to scientists and as they are discovered, they will find that the earth is actually 6000 years old and that we are not actually from a common ancestor with apes.

Here are a couple more of your jewels I ran across which points out your inability to carry your biblical lies to other arguments. Or, you just like to change things depending on who or what you are currently trying to smear ... and that is dishonesty. Come back whenever you learn to keep your story straight for a change.

Please, enlighten me.
Been trying but you point blank just deny everything that you think contradicts the bible regardless of the fact that the bible is the master document of self-refuting arguments.

Your historical scientists look at something sitting here today, ask "How did this happen?" and then make stuff up, and call it science. Then, they look at something else, and say, "It's like this one... so that must be the same thing that happened as that." Now that looks a lot more like science, and so it perpetuates itself, but it all came from someone making stuff up.
Delusional beliefs and their harm to humanity op. Yea, you just let me know "when I [you] start fighting science right.

I'm saying that the same way you trust the results from the science experiment is the same way that I trust the Bible - because I was told about it, I understand it, and it makes sense.
You were told huh, were you also told to ignore everything else as unimportant to 'the cause'? I was told about it too … so what??? From - Delusional beliefs and their harm to humanity OP.
