Ask Ginsberg. She was alive then, too.

I think Fred and Barney were on the Ark too along with the dinosaurs. The creation as explained by Hanna and Barbera.

Make sure to clean up with some Kleenex when you're done.

- it's the new black. Sorry, I've given up on walking on eggshells around people who want to argue their ignorance deserves respect on par with hard-gained knowledge. You and yours declared that PC was dead, so deal.
I have seen no more plausible explanation concerning the origin of the universe from science than I have from various religions. Science is good at explaining that which it can observe. Beyond that, it is just as sure a guess as religion is. The fact is, NOBODY has ever satisfactorily explained the factual origin of our universe. And I'd doubt they ever will unless someone comes up with a way to travel through time.

So go ahead and herald a bunch of guesses in a science textbook over a bunch of guesses in a religious text. But until you can PROVE one or the other, they are all guesses and not something with which I waste my time. Unproven hypotheses are called hypotheses for a reason. When you can offer me proof as does a math text offer proofs of theorems, I'm all ears.

There are numerous brands of Creationism. Young Earth is one of them.
When I was a Methodist kid I asked how god could create everything in six days, and was told " Days were longer then".

When I asked how Methuselah could have lived nine hundred years, I was told "Years were shorter then".

When I asked why Jesus would turn water into wine if drinking was a sin, I was told "It wasn't really wine, it was grape juice".

When I asked where Cain got a wife, I was told "God created her especially for him", with no mention of the rest of the people in the Land of Nod ever having been created.

When I asked why god would kill babies who were innocent to punish the guilty, I was told "God works in mysterious ways".

When I asked why an all-powerful god would need pharoah's permission to free the slaves to go with Moses, I never got an answer. Ditto why a loving god would send souls to hell because by an accident of birth they lived and died before Jesus showed up.


It didn't take long to figure out they were winging it because nobody had a clue. The still don't. They believe in things they can't prove because their parents did. There is no empirical evidence to prove any of the stories in the Bible, outside the historical places that were used for their settings.

ALL are simply theory, with a smattering of historical and scientific fact. Still theories. As in: Not Proven.

No matter how loud each side yells about them.
In scientific terms, gravity’s just a theory too. So are atoms. So is the germ theory of disease.

Not really; they are all observable.

I know, I know - if we call the dumb hicks out for being dumb hicks, they get pouty and stubborn and double down on the dumb-hickery just to teach us a lesson.

But in the name of all that's holy and unholy, Arizona, could you try to not embrace the stereotype? I've been to Phoenix, you have what looks like a fairly advanced civilization, what is with this?
Did they ever go away?

The whole flat earth theory stems from creationism, and flat earthers are rife! Could there possibly be a more stupid concept? I swear the world is regressing instead of progressing.

We're not back we never left......the dumb hicks know a supreme being supernaturally created the place while the elite super brains believe in aliens and populating Mars.....time will show who is right.....and it won't be much longer..........
