I think it does. I'm convinced!
How can you believe in the rigours of a century and a half of scientific methodology if you can't make an apple pie from scratch?

The New England Journal of Theology and Baking reports that upon further peer review it looks like this is not a new theory. It was first reported by Professor Duncan Hines as the 'strawberry-rhubarb pie' argument in the mid 1950's.

Well what if I made an apple pie from scratch? My grandmother can do it. Heck if I had a recipe and energy I could do it. The stupid part of the arguement is that they are making no point. The apples exsist. The question is how do you make something from NOTHING. f you say make an apple pie from scratch then that means I make the crust, cut up to the apples, put the apples in the crust and blah blah blah. Note though that the ingredents would still exist. It is one of the STUPIEST arguements I have ever heard because nothing disqualifies the ingredent's exsistance.

JAT makes a good point. Americans have an attitude of "I'm as good as anybody else," and this tends to encourage their belief that their local mechanic (for instance) understands as much about evolutionary biology as any Ph.D.
I missed the apple pie question; too bad, sounds like it was a giggle.

I thought the apple pie question was a poor, seriously poor, analogy. It was so bad I almost missed the point.
I am all for science, and I don't like apple pie anyhow.

I bet I could make an applie pie from scratch. That's the stupidest argument I've ever heard.

Oh I know.
All the time I wasted in Grad school...
Think of the time I could have spent by praying to an enchanted apple pie instead?
Wait, what were we talking about again?

Never mind "150 years" of anything. Just give biology and math one semester. I'm starting to think anti-intellectuality is as American as "apple pie."

Agreed, I'm not believing anyone who can't make an apple pie. I have my standards.

Ok... I got to bettierage's Q and yours when this person had already deleted their Q. Can someone please tell me what the original Q was? I am hopelessly intrigued now.
What's with all the creationist arguments from food lately, anyway?

I just buy my pie at Safeway. All these theological arguments are making me hungry.
