Creationist offers $10K to prove Bible wrong

[Skel]

Sorry if repost, I did search..

While I personally couldn't care less about what people believe, but I keep seeing a ton of threads where a ton of people keep saying that Creationism is proven wrong, so a challenge like this should be a cake walk.

Basically some guy is putting up $10K on a bet that you can't prove the Bible isn't fact.

Should be the reverse. Someone should offer some money for creationist to prove it is fact.

 

[AMDZen]

You can't prove it is fact either way.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Come on, we all know that's impossible.

Bullshit circus show. No science is fact. It's generally accepted as true with the provision that future evidence may modify it. This is a con game, and someone of his stature shouldn't be engaging in such behavior.

I offer a million to those that can prove a negative.

In B4 "creationism can't be real because Evolution is fact". Please. Evolution is just a theory.

Just like gravity.

Jesus Christ on a pogo stick with a walking stick up his ass!!!!

Prove gravity wrong then. Gravity is a proven theoretical scentific fact, unless facts come along that change said theory.

"Mastropaolo's bio indicates he has already scientifically proved that Adam and Eve were genetically perfect, that "ape-men are frauds" and that the Earth is 6,800 years old, give or take eight and a half centuries. "

hmmm

Gary Busey might not know where he was on Tuesday.

So someone brings in a dinosaur fossil and gets 10 k for it?

 

[Chrono]

So question is... why do creationist not question the authority that is telling them not to think otherwise? I mean... not even a lil bit of doubt? Like seriously... not even question the people behind the church and their motives?

Those fossils are only ~5k years old. You know, left over when the dinos died out. :whiste:

Someone writes a book because they heard voices.
I kill someone because the voices told me to do it.
Why don't I get the praise?

The type of person who believes in creationism isn't the same type of person that can think critically. Trying to explain science to a creationist is the equivalent of trying to get someone to smell a flower with their ear - it just isn't happening.

I'm offering a billion dollars and a blowjob from the Playboy playmate of their choice to anyone who can prove the Flying Spaghetti Monster isn't real.

$10K is a joke, dude doesn't sound very confident.

It isn't the whole bible just literal genesis vs non-literal genesis. Depending on how narrow a view is taken on literal genesis (the book of Genesis or just the beginning of all things or the beginning of man) disproving it could be very difficult. I mean big bang vs omnipotent being is going to be pretty hard but book of Genesis should be somewhat easier. Though proving beyond a shadow of a doubt a negative is always going to be hard and it wouldn't take much to introduce doubt even with it being pseudo science.
