Why do Creationists hate these Quotes?

Question

Things Creationists Hate
¤ Ice Ages: Very inconvenient! They have to have occurred since the Flood, since, according to creationists, the surface of the Earth was reworked by the Flood (to create, for instance, the Grand Canyon practically overnight), which would have messed up all those marks of glaciers on the landscape. That means mile-thick ice sheets had to advance and retreat again and again, across half the Northern Hemisphere, with the speed of freight trains. (As with plate tectonics, some creationists seem to have abandoned complete denial of ice ages [even though they're never mentioned in the Bible {How could the true history of the world miss those?}], and acknowledged a single ice age, which had to have occurred within historical times.)

¤ Stars: somehow have grown a lot bigger and moved much farther away, so that by now it seems foolish to expect a sizable fraction of them to fall to Earth, as predicted in Revelation.
¤ The Earth: on the other hand, to test Man's faith in the literal veracity of scripture, has shrunk to become much smaller than the sun, and has taken to circling the latter, instead of vice versa, as originally established. Furthermore (confirming its sinful nature), it has floated up off its pillars or foundations, lost its four corners, and become a silly ball, on which there just is no possible mountaintop from which one could see all nations of the Earth.
-¤ Other Cultures: Like those damn Egyptians that didn't seem to notice a world-wide Flood, though they were around at the time and had a liking for wwriting everything down (they'd write down what people wore to parties, darn it, why would they fail to note a Flood that covered the entire Earth? AND they were there before and after its time.

¤ The Efficacy of Science: Funny how science gets it all right when you want a computer, medical science to eliminate smallpox or treat your "erectile dysfunction", anti-lock brakes to save your life--but all evolutionists--using the scientific method you take advantage of all day long--are wrong. Evolutionary biology gets it right when you want improved corn yields, a vaccine ready for this year's flu strain, or the discovery of new oil fields--but we must keep that a secret from the kids, or at least teach them that magic is an equally valid explanation for how things got to be the way they are.
¤ Bats: Somehow, quite perversely, they changed from "fowls" to mammals between the time Moses (according to literalists) wrote the Pentateuch and now.

¤ Inconvenient Biblical Laws: Andrew I. Kapust wonders why creationists don't keep kosher, as he proudly does. I accuse them of picking and choosing among Old Testament laws and pronouncements. Anything they like, like the six days of creation, or "Thou shalt not kill" (mainly as applied to fetuses) is the inerrant word of God. However, most of the other 394 laws (like not wearing cotton-polyester blend fabrics, keeping the SABBATH [Saturday] holy, punishing rapists by forcing them to marry their victims, etc.) they have been excused from observing by Jesus. I can't seem to find the list in the New Testament, however, that details exactly which laws can safely be ignored by fundamentalists.

Answer 1

is this an example of the 'copy and paste' stuff you atheists get so lathered up about? now i see why! great googly moogly, man, do you expect anyone to wade thru all that? okay, okay, okay...the sheer volume of your crap has convinced me...YOU came from a monkey...happy now? go shave yer back or something

Answer 2

"Ice Ages: Very inconvenient! They have to have occurred since the Flood,"

Really? How do you know that for a fact? Because some scientist has a "theory" based on evidence that preceded him to the planet by at least several thousand years. How many scientific "theories" have bit the dust over the centuries? The answer is quite a few. How many passages from the Bible have been proved by hard scientific facts to be false? The answer is none.

It's like if a scientist went back in time to a month after the creation and he examined a tree that he had cut down and counted the rings. He would assume that the tree was quite a few years old and he would be dead wrong. He would be applying a scientific principle that was true during his lifetime about trees growing under conditions that he could observe but he would be wrong because the tree wouldn't be even one year old.

Scientists have studied Mount St. Helens since it's eruptions in the 80's and according to their dating methods it would appear that there were areas that were millions of years old when they know that these areas are less than 50 years old. It's the same with these theories about things that happened long before the scientists who thought up their explanations didn't have to have their diapers changed for them.

Take 20 minutes and listen to these scientists if you have the guts http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?currSection=sermonssource&sermonID=7250613340

Answer 3

I believe Creationist thinking is a little more sophisticated
today. In that it is possible we were created throught the process of evolution. According to some spiritual teachings, 7 days,
or 7 million years, is all the present in the spirit world.
It's not so much religion, as man's narrow-minded, self-serving
opinions that create all the confusion. Not that I'm singling anyone
out. We are all human beings. But you could go in the same
church. Of the same faith. Talk to 10 different poeple. And they
will have 10 different viewpoints.

Answer 4

Well, a fundamentalist would tell you that Satan put the evidence of things like Ice Ages there to confuse mankind and lead them away from God's truth.

You know another thing Creationists hate? The fact that the earth revolves around the sun.

Answer 5

I would like to see those speedy glaciers in action.... funny how all the ones we have today only move a few inches per year. I guess that's just God trying to fool us again. LOL

I love that website. Unfortunately reason and logic don't seem to do much good against creationist dogma.

Answer 6

Why did you put down the whole damn site? Like I have time to wade through all that crap? I mean, I read fast, but come on! Distill a question and quit being so lazy that you just copy somebody else's work and call it a question.

Answer 7

We hate them because we know that you "don't" know what you just said as fact. Everything you think you know is just assumption based on theory. That is a don't know on top of a don't know.
Answer this if you think the flood of Noah is myth-how did the remains of marine life get on top of all the mountain ranges? Do little marine animals fall "up" when they die?

Answer 8

ok ok, God doesn't exist...What was your theory again? A big bang...Now where did that mass of **** come from and why did it explode? Where did time begin and what the **** is the point of being alive? C'mon asswipe share with the class your version of the universe... Don't have one? then shut the **** up and let people believe whatever fairy tale gets them through. Yours sucks as.s every bit as much as theirs.

Answer 9

We don't hate quotes, there are so many of them we can't keep up, and they change every so often that we don't pay attention. We are happy and healthy and having a good time. Why bother us?? We will all find out in the end, right????

Answer 10

Just how do you know Creationists "hate" those quotes?
We just don't dwell on something we don't believe.
We all have free will to believe whatever we want to believe.
You believe in human scientists. I believe in the Creator
of the Universe, God.
