More Baptist Bullshit

Post by Psycho Smiley »

OK, not all the baptist retards are confined to the states. I live in Ontario (Canada) and in front of a baptist church under construction reads a sign:

If evolution is true, then why do mothers still only have two hands?

:shock:
OK, ignorance of what evolution is is one thing, but this is complete and utter bullshit! Words really fail me.

If a girl was born with a third arm to one of the parishoners, the minister would likely smash it with a rock for being and abomination.

Come now, SyntaxVorlon, we can't have anything that even appears to validate that satanic science-cult of evolution, now can we?

I'm thinking it was some sort of joke, but it's still a misconception of evolution. Under that logic, humans should have wings after ages of wanting to fly.

After the constant barrage of bullshit they post there, I don't think so. This example, however, just had to be shared. I flat out couldn't believe that anyone would put that up, at least so far from the southern States.

A better response would be "If Creation is true, then why didn't God design mothers to be able to raise children more efficiently?"

Simple, because God cursed Adam and Eve when He expelled them from Eden. It's in the BIble; read it for yourself.

That's the typical response to any argument against rational design.

Ah, but pre-Original Sin Eve was no different anatomically than the average modern woman. The only significant difference, IIRC, is that the process of giving birth before Original Sin would be painless (God cursed woman with painful childbirth after the fall). Eve did not have the extra limbs that God should have given to a species that he favored.

Oh, but you can't question God's wisdom. Where were you when the world was formed, when the mountains were laid, etc., etc., whatever it says in Job? Since you aren't omniscient, you can't tell what's good and what isn't. Besides, how do you know Eve was anatomically the same as modern humans?

Seriously, there are Christians who would argue that Eve might have had four arms or some such nonsense. Most fundamentalists do not even know the Bible, they only know what their preachers tell them. If you try to approach them with reason, they end up basically sticking their fingers in their ears and singing. "La la, God is omniscient, you aren't, la di da, You can't tell what's best, la li, I'm not listening to the stupid heathen."

Can someone explain to me why do we still hear that humans cannot differentiate good from evil? Didn't we ate the fruit already? Did we not became sinful because we now know good from evil?

If evilution is right, then why don't men have two penises?

well you know the only "reason" why women have orgasms at all is because men do. The clitorus only exists so that when the fetus is diffentitated there can be a penis for men. A great essay on this (one of his best) comes from Dr. Stephen Jay Gould, in his collection "Bully for Brontosaurus" it is titled "Of Male Nipples and Clitoral Ripples" (apparently it was originally titled "Tits and Clits" but his wife said that would lead to too much confusion)

Assuming it's legal, could you link me to a copy of the essay? I've always enjoyed reading Gould.
