HotChic-

First, you are right... I hadn't read the whole thing with the abortionists.

And yes, I am picking on their weakest arguments, because they are the funniest! :D

HotChic - are saying that since Carbon-14 isn't an exact science that evolution is bunk? I seriously hope you aren't that ignorant.

I didn't say that, I just said that carbon-14 dating has been proven to be fairly unreliable and that most scientists, including ones who support evolution, don't use it as concrete evidence anymore. Science changes fast, and I hear people quote 'facts' of yesteryear to support it now, when they're no longer current or accepted.

Oh man that is a weird site. And those comics, hilarious.
Anyone notice that if you read the comics all the way through they give you a link to the 'plan that changes'. It's a page that tells you how to renounce your bad ways blah blah blah.
It's also POS.HTM
So go to hell you POS
:D

The thing is, who discovered some of the inconsistencies in carbon-14 dating? Scientists... I find it hard to believe that some creationists can support these scientists when it conveniences them, and deem them heretics at other times.

Yes, but there are other, more reliable methods. Carbon-14 isnt the only isotope one can use you know.


And just because science moves fast, is no argument against it.

Wasn't there another site similar to this one? I can't remember the name of it. Just as ridiculous. It was full of B&W comics too. The abortion one was hilarious. Just as idiotic as the evolution one here.

Wow... I'm trying to figure out what it is about this site you guys are having such a problem with. This site is promoting what I can perceive to be family values. Perhaps you are an advocate of things like homosexuality, abortion, school violence, evolution, drugs, and people stumbling all over the place drunk out of their minds. And if so, you'd have a reasonable complaint against the site.

I think that what we're looking at is an honest attempt to promote moral standards in youth today. They're not being pushy. You went to the site willingly and checked it out. In fact, I never would have visited the site if it hadn't been for anandtech, so it's not like this thing is being shoved down people's throats.

Lay off.



<< It makes people who don't believe in God out to be violent, misguided gangsters. >>

Well, if the site is right, and there is a God, then these individuals are misguided. I don't think it promotes the idea that *every* nonbeliever is a violent gangster. I think you're stereotyping them more than they are stereotyping unbelievers.

Who's the fanatic? Is it fanatical to have these kinds of values? This is disturbing.

What's wrong with going out and getting completely juiced every once in a while? It's fun. :)

Well, to list possible problems, 1) it's addicting. Lots of people I know feel immune to getting addicted but yes, it can happen to you. 2) Getting completelyjuiced impairs judgement quiet heavily, maybe you drink more than you can handle and get alcohol poisoning, decide you can drive, pass out and crack your skull open, lots of possibilities. 3) I know people who've gotten to the point where they are completely bored unless drunk, life is no fun without the alcohol. Mark though, these people are not alcoholics, not yet, maybe never, but they sure think life's dull when they're sober during the week. 4) passing out, puking, etc is not fun. Care to argue?

I'd be concerned about sites like this, but most teens are smart enough to see through this propaganda.

SING IT WITH ME NOW!

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

I'm not sure I'd agree with that, but most teens probably are rebelious enough to dismiss it.

I never said anything about abusing alcohol. Becoming addicted is a LOT different than having some fun every once in a while.

1) You won't get addicted if you can control yourself.

2) If you get alcohol poisoning, there's no chance in hell you'd be able to drive, let alone walk, let alone be anything other than passed out and on your way to the hospital to get your stomach pumped. Again, that's uncontrolled abuse.

3) There are a lot of people who can go out every once in a while, get drunk, have some fun, and wake up perfectly fine the next morning. Nothing wrong with that.

4) No, it isn't fun. I've only puked 4 times, and been drunk a lot more than that. Never passed out though. I learned that throwing up isn't fun, so I don't get that far anymore. But being drunk d.n.e. puking.


Abusing alcohol isn't good, but there's nothing wrong with drinking.

Some people equate drinking with drunk driving, throwing up, passing out, etc, but there is a large step between the two.

Haha, why then are there over 100 million sperm in one "dose", half of which are killed instantaneously by vaginal acids?

Now you've gone and done it. You've introduced science into a theologically-correct sing-along.

The point is that they died on the "battlefield", with full military honours. Of course, most will not make it. But at least they were all given the opportunity to succeed, unlike the poor bastards that are routinely thwarted by chemical subversion or impenetrable latex.

Well in that case, god must be infuriated.

They're still given a chance... Not much of one, but who ever said life was fair? :)
