"The Bible has been, far and away, the most scrutinized writing in the history of the world, yet not a single verse has ever been refuted - scientifically, archaeologically or histoprically."
Hit him where he feels confident but is weak - there. You can quote 'sciency mumbo-jumbo' till your throat is sore and you likely won't get through. So weaken his resolve by tearing apart his beliefs instead of building up your own.
Young Earthers are easy to refute. Even if the refuse to believe carbon dating, point to things like fossils, oil and precious minerals like diamonds - they take a long while to make, far longer than their idea of earth's age.
And... ok, I'd rather not put my earphones in my ears after my nose... or my nose after my ears for that matter, would rather keep the two areas separate... if I had specific nose plugs for this, that'd be ok...
>> ^entr0py: >> ^ponceleon: Love Neil, but why does he even deem this worthy of a response. This is just more idiocy on CNNs part by giving it airtime... Might as well give airtime to the crazy homeless guy outside my building that is yelling about lizard people running the country.
I guess if 10% of the nation were concerned with lizard people, it would be news.
I think its funny that these two news douches stumble over the words "marijuana " and "drugs". They also have to say they might not know what these things are, and the they may have heard about things like this. This is news for pre-schoolers.
Thats fucking sick, if they run through my town I am going to have some signs up if I aint working. Thats just gross and gawdy. they are RAPING our olympic running
I really wish someone with the money would do this with the Bible... as mentioned above. I want a copy of the Bible, as it's an important text due to so many people believing it, so many other works based on it, so much of our culture guided by it... so I want a copy (don't have one in my house at present, had a few at my parents, but none at mine)... so I would like a nicely presented copy of the bible... WITH a great introduction that points out issues with it, like Xaielao states... NOT by being mean spirited and spiteful like these douchebags are, but rather, just giving some historic context for the text.
Do the same thing, hand them out on campus, or offer them free in other places, and watch the Religious right go nuts over it.
The beautiful thing is that we have this as precedence now... those who don't believe in creationism allowed this to go ahead, so they must let the other side happen too.

Tea Party Patriots laugh at Lost Daughter And Grandchild
I try to be a true libertarian. But being associated with these people in the stereo typical group pisses me off.
I am now a Misanthropic Nihilistic Hedonistic Atheist.
True patriots do not let the group think persuade them, and more often than not are not part of a group.
Welcome to the club, newbie. Get rid of that "patriot" sign, and you might even rise in the ranks.
Man Challenges God. God Delivers.
God would have hit him, being perfect and all. I think this is conclusive proof that there is indeed not a god."
Well, one could argue that God only wanted to warn him so that he would repent and change his shirtless ways
