Re: 'Fraid not. random thoughts Send a noteboard - 15/09/2009 01:21:14 AM
It's a shittily written article.


The only thing I see shitty is the shallowness of the criticism.

* Space

Objects in space, which are more than 8,000 light years away, can be seen from earth.


See this is people who laugh at the other side but don't understand the issues themselves come in.



This is under the category "Arguments to support evolution." What the bloody blue blazes does that have to do with anything?


This is an important point against the argument that the universe is only 6,000 years old. How can that be when some of the light reaching the earth took more then 8,000 years to get here?

I wouldn't put it at the top of my list but it does have something to with the issue.

Maybe this is a joke newspaper in the UK - I'm not familiar with it, I just recognize the name. But this is shoddy "journalism," about something that's already a hot-button topic.


Did you believe it was meant to settle the issue instead of just give some highlights?

Now if you really want me to "refute any of the claims made by creationist outside of [my] semantics issue," I could go to town. But really I thought the whole article was stupid, but didn't feel like spending too much time on it, so I made one pithy comment and moved on. ~shrug~


yet you are still in the discussion haven't shown any knowledge of the issue as of yet.

I can do a fine job refuting creationism myself and I can do it without simply pointing and laughing at people.

The author used the phrase "proven theories." Ergo, their argument is invalid. *NM* Craig - 14/09/2009 01:11:51 AM 317 Views
