religionstupidIf you have not noticed religion tends to get the short end of the stick here at DWR.  Whether it is being put to philosophical test or really just being mocked.  This post much more in the later than the former category.  You really just have to stand back in awe of the stupid that is out there.

Today’s flavour is Turkish stupidity.  Religion is the great equalizer when it comes to being absofrackinglutely retarded.  I quote…

Dr. Oktar Babuna and Cihat Gündoğdu tried to “disprove” arguments of the scientists through harunyahya.tv. Supposedly Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya) would participate in the program, but he did not.

“Babuna and Gündoğdu presented same arguments as in last week’s TV program and referred to Koran to try disprove evolution, as well as they maintained an aggressive attitude. Followers of Harun Yahya, mostly remarkable for their finery and calm attitude, depicted Darwin as “wine addict, diseased personality, who wrote book and loafed around the ship with yelling”. The creationists described evolutionists as “so called scientists” and they “criticized” concepts of evolution with certain words such as “comedy, fiction, ridiculous absurdity”. “

Okay, well besmirch Darwin all you would like.  I’m sure those with the allah/jeebus complex do not mind if similar standards or arguing are applied to their godhead.  I’m sure their response would be measured… The evidence that supports evolution is mountainous.  Refuting evolution would require conclusive evidence that evolution is wrong as a theory.  And no, your magic book that says evolution isn’t fact won’t cut it.

“The creationist claimed that evolution theory relies on certain coincidences, and they applied to Koran to disprove the theory. The creationists argued that God need no reasons and consequently God created the universe “at that moment” saying “be”, not through evolution, nevertheless they did not slow down. They called in the question which evolution created angel and daemon, how felicities in the heaven evolved, how the snake came into existence out of the baton as well as the bird out of mud. The creationists tried to disprove evolution theory with these questions.”

You really cannot lose when you have magic on your side can you?  I’m in awe of the fact they would mention ‘angels and demons’ in the same breath as evolution.  It’s like wow….just wow…

“Babuna and Gündoğdu did not refer to evolution as a “theory” and they were insistent on inexistence of any intermediate forms. Babuna and Gündoğdu, who claimed that evolution theory has been falsified through 250 million fossils”

Take that evidence! Checkmate!  We can just say it doesn’t work and it is good enough!

You know, Hitchens was right, religion really does poison everything.
