Dr. Jobe Martin Challenges Atheists

[Darth Servo]

Pretty much every idiot creationist bullshit argument in the book. I can't believe he is actually bringing up the Bombardier beetle example which was proven to be an bunch of out-right lies years ago. Is it any surprise he became a creationist at a university as religious as Baylor; a BAPTIST University? How could he claim to be a Christian and never hear about "Creation Science"; CS is nothing more than the first two chapters of Genesis. Every Christian in the world has read those verses. What biology professor would NOT mention assumptions? He's clearly just a lying asshole like most Creationists.

I was wondering.. why is it that geology gets off free in the Creationism v. Reality conflict? It draws an identical conclusion: the current state of affairs is not the result of recent creation by an omnipotent being, but gradual development over billions of years. Yet, aside from 'flood geology', which doesn't so much attack geology as propose an alternative hypothesis, I havn't seen any challenges of the 'theory of plate tektonics', or what-have-you.

I always figured it was because the hard numbers of geology are easier for the creationist to understand and thus harder to dismiss out of hand. Where some of the more advanced parts of evolutionary theory its not that unbelievable to see someone not familiar with it(also who doesn't want to be familiar with it) go "That doesn't make sense...forget that."

Actually, young-Earth creationists attack both geology and biology with equal abandon. In fact, they believe that geology and biology are part of a combined conspiracy to defraud the American public.
