Author | Topic: Other side's biggest misinterpretation? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Regardless of whatever side of the debate your on, what do you find to be the most annoying misinterpretation of your side's views?
I'll go first: "If we evolved from monkeys, why are monkeys still here???" ------------------"Illuminant light, illuminate me."

Oh, this is easy. It's gotta be:
"The odds that a DNA molecule making hemoglobin could form by random chance is a hundred million bazillion to one!" Or any of the other "tornado in a junk yard" examples.

I'd say it's the idea that evolution == atheism.
Atheism may be suggested by evolution, but it by no means is neccessitated by evolution, of course.

This isn't necessarily a misrepresentation of evolution, but when losing with their other misrepresentations, you can hold your breath waiting for Pascal's Wager to come out.

Mine is general: it's the reliance of YEC and ID on scholasticism, and the assumption that science does the same.

It is hard to pick a favorite since there are so many...but it does irk me that creationist number n comes to the board and claims that even though he or she has never read anything about evolution, has an X grade education, and in principle would not engage in any debate on any other technical subject with such a lack of preparation, he/she knows for a fact that evolution and abiogenesis are the same thing

Irritating? That has to be the 'your science is just faith, too' line.

I agree. However, you forgot that after you provide them with an avalanche of sources to support the ToE and its mechanisms, they always follow up by accusing you of making an Appeal to Authority.

My favorite is "Evolution can't be true because it isn't common sense!"

I have a couple:
1) That a dog should give birth to a cow if the ToE is true; and 2) The whole Noah's Flood thing!!! [This message has been edited by roxrkool, 09-29-2003]

When Bible inerrantists say that archaeology supports every historical event mentioned in the Bible.
This displays a great ignorance of the subject. Brian.

More and more scientists are abandoning the bankrupt theory of evolution as they realize that life could only be the result of a divine creator.

For me, it's the "Young" in "Young Earth (Age) Creationism".
