Not So Polite Dinner Conversation -for your entertainment

Jonathan, a christain and creationist, is just precious in his ignorance and lies about evolution. Here's a bit where he truly disintegrates. (memes at the end if you just want to scroll down)"On the contrary, I understand evolutionary theory quite well, which is why I ask these questions. My questions are meant to encourage you … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation -for your entertainment

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a typical christian fraud

It's always fun to see how christians choose to lie. This one is a relatively old lie, where Christians have supposedly offered a $10 million dollar prize for coming up with abiogenesis. Unsurprisngly, they think they are ever so clever with this, and of course they try to trumpet how no one has ever gotten … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a typical christian fraud

Not So Polite Conversation – a lovely example of quote mining and referring to century old nonsense by christians

I found a typical post by a christian desperately trying to attack evolutionary theory. As is very common, it is marked by quote mining, ignorance and the need to find quotes that agree with their nonsense, quotes often quite old since these people depend on ignorance and ignoring modern research. here's my reply: Unsurprisngly, that’s a quote … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – a lovely example of quote mining and referring to century old nonsense by christians

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a revisiting of creationist failure

You may remember the Kitzmiller v Dover case, where creationists in Pennsylvania tried to sneak in their baseless nonsense into a public school. I live near that place so I got to hear and see lots about it. A christian is trying to retcon what happened here, claiming that it was only legal, not addressing … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a revisiting of creationist failure

What the Boss Likes – science that shows how evolution works

A nifty new bit of research about the Black Death. I've always been fascinated with that time period. This shows how there is no "good" or "bad" in evolution, only what gets the attributes passed on. My family has alpha-1 anti-trypsin deficiency, which can give you what amounts to emphysema, but they think also protected … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – science that shows how evolution works

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – you’d think conservative Christians would know better than to lie

A common false claim by many Christians has to do with Darwin and evolutionary theory.  They want to so desperately conflate Social Darwinism with evolutionary theory, in order to try to scare people from accepting evolutionary theory and realizing that the bible is nothing different from any other silly set of myths. I found this … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – you’d think conservative Christians would know better than to lie

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – probability, evolution and theists

In a prior post, I went over how many Christians attack evolutionary theory without either knowing what it actually is, or willfully ignoring what it actually is.  I pointed out that many Christians, including the pastor who wrote these things, try to make false claims about its supposed randomness, which he, and they, think is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – probability, evolution and theists

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – another challenger who is sure that the bible flood happened, Diana Lesperance

(this was more enjoyable to write than reviewing bad television(which is damning with faint praise), but we’ll get to that next post.  And yes, it's long.  Such a great surprise 🙂 ). Diana’s claims about science are always curious, but nothing new in the realm of young earth creationist claims. I reviewed her claims about … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – another challenger who is sure that the bible flood happened, Diana Lesperance

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another wannabee theocrat here in PA – government is great if it teaches my religion

Recently, there was a letter to the editor in the local paper on why we should allow creationism to be taught in schools. It was from a pastor, Glen Bayly, of the Mifflinburg Alliance Church, a bit north of me in central Pennsylvania. You can find a bit about Mr. Bayly on the ‘net, he’s … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Another wannabee theocrat here in PA – government is great if it teaches my religion
