Creationism – Wholesale stupid on Parade.

Welcome.

You’re going to quibble about where these loons can peddle their horsepucky? Is that your major objection to the video?

AS:They [snakes] talk with a forked tongue .

Err…I’m not sure how to answer this Mr.Scott. Are you actually postulating that at some point in history snakes possessed the necessary apparatus to vocalize intelligibly to humans?

[…] you also have contradictions in science ? In science is a photon a particle or a wave ? How can it be both ?

Absolutely. The wave particle duality still presents many challenges. We’re working on them….

Following the development of quantum field theory the ambiguity disappeared. Although there is still debate as to whether one should accept the field as “real”, the debate over using the term wave or particle is rendered meaningless. The field permits solutions that follow the wave equation, which are referred to as the wave functions. The term particle is used to label the irreducible representations of the Lorentz group that are permitted by the field. An interaction as in a Feynmann diagram is accepted as a calculationally convenient approximation where the outgoing legs are known to be simplifications of the propagation and the internal lines are for some order in an expansion of the field interaction. Since the field is non-local and quantized, the phenomena which previously were thought of as paradoxes are explained.

I’m not sure where you are going with this line of though Mr.Scott, possibly a comparison between religious contradictions versus ones present in Science? I think that they are hard to make a apples to apples comparison as it seem, in my view, that the religious side expects absolute compliance – snakes do talk, as well as bushes; just accept it. The science side looks for a better way to describe reality as evidenced by quantum field theory which does much to address many of the problems of the wave-particle duality, seeking to explain more of what we do not know.

It is a large book with all kinds of inconsistancies and contradictions .

I’m glad we can agree on this point Mr.Scott.

You scan the entire book and find obscure attack points .

If this is the perfect word of god, I should not find *any* places to attack because it should be, by holy writ, true. The problem is, as you agree, the bible is inconsistent and decidedly unperfect as it contains more than a few reprehensible ideas and notions.

Since you believe in science as the answer to life’s deeper questions, just as a Christian believes in religion, it is fair for me demand you admit that even in your philosophy of science there are still mysteries .

I’m pretty sure there is a difference between the two Mr.Scott. You can’t really ‘believe’ in anything in science without proof. Science is a methodological way of determining the accuracy of our claims about the universe, notions that are inaccurate or incorrect are discarded when evidence pointing to a different solution present themselves or are discovered.

Religion is not like that. There is only the truth, with no exceptions. That truth though seems to vary from religion to religion, heck even sect to sect within christianity. I have no doubt Mr.Scott, that we are both going to hell by somebodie’s holy book. So the question becomes, why bother with such inconsistent ideas when there is an option available that is at least internally consistent with the physical reality that surrounds us?

Scientifically a snake can’t talk. Religiously God can do whateve he wants

Why doesn’t he stop wars and cure cancer? Why do children suffer and die needlessly if some benevolent being is supposedly watching out for us? Nah, we don’t need to believe in sociopathic sky daddies. It just isn’t necessary.

Snakes forked tongues have been used through out human literature as a metaphor…

I wouldn’t have a problem if we routinely found the bible in the fiction section.

Even in your secular world the Gods of random chance must crap all over you sometimes.

You betcha. Sometimes life sucks, but you try to make the best of it with what you have in the here and now. :)

Must be tough to rage at science .

I don’t even know what to say about that. :>
