How Evolutionists Deal with Contrary Evidence

How Evolutionists Deal with Contrary Evidence

Edited 10-09-2011
Also, a new version is available on video, here.
  • Deny that contrary evidence even exists
  • Refuse to see it
  • Refuse to discuss it
  • Refuse to listen to it
  • Malign people who disbelieve at all costs, ignore basic reasoning skills
  • Lie about people and organizations who disbelieve in evolution
  • Use uninformed, undereducated thuggish disciples to patrol and attack people who disbelieve
  • Use the media, especially social media
  • Never allow the playing field to be level
  • Keep insisting that evolution is a "fact", even though it is assumed through faith, not evidence (that's our little secret, Skippy)
  • Pretend to be totally objective and unbiased, despite the fact that this goes against human nature
  • Demand that disbelievers have all knowledge of all sciences
  • Appeal to the "might makes right" fallacy of "most scientists believe in evolution" to establish "truth"
  • Commit tu quoque fallacy, "Yeah, but you do it, too!" (Not true, but do it anyway)
  • Get angry, deliberately misunderstand, put words in the mouths of those who disbelieve
  • Ridicule the straw man that you just constructed (see above)
  • Ridicule some more — whatever strikes your fancy

There are all kinds of articles linked, and links to sites, that show evolution's failings, in the site listed at the bottom of the article (it is a sort of launching pad for further studies). Also, there are evidences shown for a young earth, as well as downright bad "proofs" for evolution are wrecked. Take a look and be surprised at how much indoctrination people have received, how much contrary evidence is ignored and suppressed.

Bravado Incarnate

Warning: If you click the links, you will be subjected to strong profanity. Buon giorno. Why is it that atheists cry, "Victory is mine!" like Stewie Griffin, even when they humiliate themselves? Some in my acquaintance could slam their hand in a car door and still claim that they won a debate with the car. One of the most obstreperous atheists (who does not believe in free speech link disabled ) that I have ever encountered took a challenge (for some reason, I get all the credit, but others challenged him as well) to call Matt Slick's radio show, Faith and Reason (now renamed to " Matt Slick Live ". He was angry that the "kiddie pool" at the "Please Convince Me" Weblog was not challenging enough. Surprisingly, he did not scream or use profanity, something that I fully expected him to do. The show was entertaining and interesting, to say the least. Unfortunately, he was typical of Internet atheists: Rude Arrogant Prideful

Where Does It Stop?

I was going to give these topics a rest, but something came up. On a previous post, Zach made a comment, and I am excerpting it here. His first sentence is an answer to a question I had asked him. Hope you're not embarrassed, but I want to give you a more complete response than the comments section would allow: My lack of belief in the supernatural is pretty much complete - I have never seen any reason to attribute a supernatural cause to phenomena. I suppose I rule out supernatural explanations because once you let one in, where do you stop? I look at an event I do not understand and go immediately to natural causes. Even if I can't figure it out, I still would assume it had a natural explanation. I'm worried that if someone started attributing causes to supernatural events, they would skip over the whole 'natural cause' thing and go straight for the supernatural, because technically everything is potentially explainable by an omnipotent being, no?

The Amazing Super Powers of the Mighty Atheist™

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Years ago, I wrote "atheist" on Twitter, and one cautioned me about using that word because I risked "calling down the thunder". We know that they can be ornery cusses even on their good days, but I was unaware of the intellectual prowess and wisdom of The Mighty Atheist™, dwarfing that of a mere theist. What I had yet to learn, however, is that they also have super powers that are even magical at times. Now I know better. Christians and creationists, I hope you heed this warning! Graphic modified from  Clker clipart As with other super powers, those of The Mighty Atheist™ are difficult to categorize. Not all atheists and evolutionists have the same powers to the same degree, and there is no special school for gifted atheists under a professor so they can develop their abilities. Like logical fallacies, powers often blend and overlap. Let's saddle up and ride over yonder to Deception Pass where the atheists, atheopaths, anti-crea
