It's not as cool on brown paper :( But, at least it's a beacon of rationality in a deluded world!

I'm glad this has survived it was one of my favourite posts the blue butterfly made on RDF, I do expect however that any creationists visiting this forum will still continue to ignore it and trot out the same canards that cali debunks in the post.

PT Says:

Everything You Know Is Wrong
(a poem)

All the cosmologits, physicists, and astronomers are wrong,

The universe was created in 7 days.

Albert Einstein was wrong.

All the geologists are wrong,

The earth is only 5000 years old.

Continental drift is just a theory.

Fossils were put in the soil by Satan to fool you into rejecting the Bible.

Sedimentary rocks were formed by Noah's flood. Noah said so. Its in the Bible.

The archeologists are wrong.

Mitochondrial DNA got put in your bodies by evil medical experiments, not evolution.

The radioactive decay rate of Argon and Carbon cause tooth disease and cannot be used to determine the age of anything.

The biochemists are all wrong.

Any number beyond 1 billion is a lie.

The government should be run only by Christians.

Liberals believe in Faggots and Abortion.

Muslims really worship Satan.

Wikkans hate God and worship Satan.

Jews don't believe in Jesus, don't believe in Heaven, and thats why God hates them and sends them all to Hell.

The names "Darwin" and the "Devil" both start with a "D" for a reason.

The world is flat.

Reason is the Devil's playground.

Faith can make any dillusion appear plausible

And make a lie sing like the Blue Bird of Happiness.

Good post. Although I admit I am a creationist: I believe humans created all deities and religions. (*_*)

Thank you for posting this =] I will do my best not to make those same blunder my fellow creationists have made in the past, but attempt to make at least valid points. My job is not to convince you of a God, nor do I want to convert you. It is not my obligation nor is it allowed in forum rules ;); however, I would like to get people thinking. This is the core of the development of science. Creationism could very well be wrong, I may be an idiot for believing in such an "out-dated mythology," but at the very same time, the tenets for macro-evolution could very well be wrong. Science should never stop looking for answers and that includes the idea of evolution. I hope I can learn and grow on this site by reading those who are more scientifically inclined than I, but I do hope that I may contribute positively to any discussion.
