I have only one concern about introducing this subject in science classes: how will the Flying Spaghetti Monster be presented?I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I’m ready to accept the Flying Spaghetti Monster as a great dinner option, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. An entrée who says the sort of things the FSM says would not be great cuisine. He would either be a lunatic ” on a level with the grilled salmon who says he is a poached egg ” or else he would be the Devil's Food Cake from Hell.You must make your choice. Either this pasta dish has been, and is, Absolute Deity: or else pure poison or something worse. You can throw Him on the walls as a fool, you can spit Him up and wash Him down the trash disposer as a demon; or you can fall at His swirling feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a decent gastronomic experience. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to._______

* The Argument From TechnologyCreationists admit that less than seventy years elapsed between the first brief flight in a plane by the Wright Brothers and men walking on the moon --- and yet they claim that "thousands and thousands" of years elapsed between creation and the first plane. Can anyone take this seriously? If we were created "thousands and thousands of years ago", then by now we'd have interstellar colonies.According to creationist dogma, the Egyptians built the Pyramids "thousands and thousands" of years ago. These so-called "Egyptians" can't have been stupid. So why didn't they invent the airplane?

* Bishop Bell's TombBishop Bell's tomb was supposedly made "hundreds and hundreds of years ago". But it has a dinosaur carved on it. Now, we have evidence that dinosaurs are roaming the earth today (see above) but no evidence that they did so hundreds and hundreds of years ago, and no pictures of dinosaurs earlier than the so-called "nineteenth century" (according to conventional creationist dating). This proves that artifacts supposedly "hundreds and hundreds of years old" are in fact modern, for how else could they feature a modern motif such as a dinosaur?

* Short-lived isotopesI just saw a fundie post this on another forum:"But, explain polonium rings appearing in rocks. If Polonium has a half life of a few milliseconds, then how could it form in rocks? That's one of many but you can chew on that for a while."Tee-hee.

Some far out ideas here. However the bible simply says "in the bebinning God created" It does not give a definite time to when that was - thousands, millions, billions of years ago. It doesn't say. It further describes the events taking place in connection with the earth as occuring over periods of time called days. The term day can refer to various time periods not limited to 24 hours.

Handbook of Chemistry & Physics 2007the 210 isotope has a half life long enough to build up and reach equilibrium as long as the parent Uranium 238, Uranium 235 or Thorium 232 has not completely decayed. Edited by bluescat48, : spelling

There is no better love between 2 people than mutual respect for each other

Neither creationalist teaching ie earth created in 6 24 hr days or evolution agree with the evidence.

This is a joke thread, fred. If you'd like to enlighten us on what does fit with the evidence, why not start a thread, or pick one that already exists and suits your choice of subject?

I guess the individual who transcribed the occurance was dislectic and "dog" became "god."

This is not true, see lucid dreaming. Sounds similar to one conceptualization of Autism.Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

Quite so.It is obvious that the bible should not be taken literally because it will refer to many things that obviously make no sense.Welcome to the fray Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

good satire. you forgot about the wolly mammoth herd inside the high voltage electric fence at the south pole

"* "Thousands And Thousands Of Years" Is UnfalsifiableOne of the criteria for a theory to be scientific is that is must be "falsifiable". The "thousands and thousands of years" theory is unfalsifiable. I just thought I'd mention this before getting back to producing my proof that it's false. No, I have never been troubled by cognitive dissonance."If it's unfalsifiable, then how do you claim to be falsifying it eh, stupid?And by the way, the earth is'nt "thousands and thousands" of years old. It's billions, around, say, 4.55 billion.
