Creation SCIENCE!

After seeing religion being pwned by children, I think we often don't give equal time to different points of view on this blog. Thusly... here!


Now, having given them a minute: How completely self-centered and egotistical do you have to be to be so close to getting perspective right, but still think that you're the center of the universe?

What a weird quote to use. "The earth is my footstool." Wtfzzle? How does that factor in to the relative scale of stars?
What also isn't taken into account, is how many millions of planets around the universe is this God fellow/lady giving this shpiel to? If God is omnipotent, then it stands to reason that God is everywhere at once using all of his/her/its creation as a footstool. But what for? What is too high for God to reach that he/she/it requires a footstool?
Many questions.

Here's an answer to your questions by an insane person, from the blog I found this on:

"Jesus Himself cleaned the feet of harlots and others.

There are worse things than being a footstool. In fact, Serving as His footstool proves we are Chosen. We know we are Chosen People because God didn’t make the earth to be his jockstrap, something in which he could secure his sweaty balls. God constructed other planets for that."

At first I thought that hey, maybe this guy's just trying to incorporate some actual science into his worldview, not having one necessarily verify the other, and maybe even adjusting his mythology to accommodate observable facts (okay, to be honest, I had this thought second).

Quick search finds that no, this is the same disingenuous and intentionally misleading bullshit.

It's hard to shake the feeling that these people would really rather be doing science, though. Why else would they care so much that their little Dungeon Master's Guide is scientifically relevant?

I like that this researcher is pointing out that physics doesn't have to behave the way everyone tells us it does, if we believe. That's what I call brave thinking. Some day people might call these types of thinkers "pioneers". They might look upon them as we do the great thinkers of the Spanish inquisition, or the Salem witch trials, or Joseph Smith!. History is in the future, folks!

One nice thing that helps me sleep at night is that this kind of thinking produces no actionable results. It's essentially auto-propaganda designed to make believers believe the same thing they believe even more--it does nothing to further any kind of thinking that may lead to anything, and is furthermore a great waste of their resources.

There will come a day when we will be exploring the universe with our Octopus brothers, while they will have to stay at home, wishing into their hands.

That Dominionists for Tancredo 2012 blog has to be a put-on, Fugu. I mean, look.

What weird sort of Doom facsimile are you wearing there, Pone?
I like where that Dominionist blog is heading.

Dude! I know! I was going to write a post just on him because I'm not sure what the hell I'm looking at.

I keep thinking that maybe he's a super-humanly intense version of Stephen Colbert, but then some of the links on the right (the ones that work) lead to real christian sites, other's questionably don't, but then he's got an anti-Landover baptist pic... I'm too scared to look too deep. Either he's insane, or he's trying to be subversive to a degree that I can't even fathom.
