Shmoopy's Intelligent Design Textbook - $24.95
    #8572130 - 06/27/08 07:01 PM (2 months, 9 days ago)

Professor: Class, please turn to paragraph 1, page 1 of SIDT.

Premise: Highly complex systems such as galaxies, stars, solar systems, the human eye, the brain and a bird's wing require a Creator.

Conclusion: Therefore a Creator exists.

Professor: As no new data is likely to add to or detract from the discussion, nor is there any way to test the premise; there is nothing more to say. You may now close your textbooks. This course is over.

HHhmmmm....   
$24.95 seems expensive for such a short lesson, one that I have already "discovered" for myself....    :shrug:

$24.95 for The Bible? A bit steep for a book I'll never read.

Highly complex and ordered systems like hurricanes appear to form without a creator out of random air molecule movements.

Oh wait... wrong class. :seeya:

:rofl:

Those were genetically altered to be larger in girth to procure a more rewarding viewing experience when watching beautiful young women, (or I suppose men, if you prefer), eating them.

You can't use that one!

:rofl2: I love those guys. I can't believe they don't crack a smile explaining how God made bananas just right for human consumption. They must really believe what they're saying, unfortunately.
It makes me wonder, though... what were the first words uttered by early man? "I'm here... action!"? :rotfl:
OBVIOUSLY the entire Earth was created as man's personal playground, OBVIOUSLY plants and animals were designed with our well-being in 'mind', and OBVIOUSLY we're pretty special motherfuckers. :imspecial:

True dat~....!  A perfectly peeled banana every time....    :thumbup:

Monkeys have a certain boundless wisdom that we could all take a lesson from. Such graceful poo throwing has never been achieved by a man.

A few years ago I helped a friend set up her computer, and after we got done, her two boys took the helm of the Google search.....
First thing they typed in "Poop Flinging Monkeys", which I had never heard of and thought "yeah right, like there would be a website for THAT"....
Of course, there was, and was cause for about an hour's worth of laughter for all of us....!    :lol:

Yeah, sometimes I cant help but think they are little genius's, who are obviously descendent's of the same evolutionary ancestors as us. Then they go and do shit like this. :shrug:





God help us if they ever evolve opposable thumbs.

I don't get your point.

Evolution can similarly be reduced to a simple basic premise.  So what?

There's nothing to teach if you ignore the evidence, true.  If your implying this invalidates the theory or casts it in disrepute, I'd disagree with you.


So what?
