10 Questions to Ask a Creationist- Do you really believe that crap, or do you simply think spouting such nonsense will fool God into thinking you are a loyal sheep?
- Do you have any idea how stupid/brainwashed/fanatical you appear when you insist that the Biblical book of Genesis trumps the best of modern science?
- No, seriously, do you? Because you sure sound like either a zealot or a dumb-ass to me. Or maybe both.
- Does it bother you at all that the people from whom you get your talking points are obviously liars and/or deluded?
- Do you understand the well-known scholarly virtue of not taking quotes out of context? Because much of the Creationist argument consists of such "quote mining," which is indistinguishable from lying.
- I mean, what part of "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor" do you not comprehend?
- Why do you hate science and rationality so much?
- Do you understand that the Big Bang, abiogenesis, and biological evolution are separate fields of study?
- Then could you please spend a hour or so looking up those concepts in Wikipedia?
- Well, if you won't do even that, why should anyone pay the least attention to your blitherings of pig-headed and willful ignorance?

Yeah! I also wonder, "Why do you want your children to be as ignorant as you are?" And, "Why do you want my children to be as ignorant as yours?"
But I guess since fear is such a powerful motivator we already know the answer. Eternal damnation. Can't afford to take that risk. |

Those are damn good questions, and I wish they'd occurred to me. Then, there are probably hundreds of good questions that should be asked of any Creationist. |

| Life is good. So good it should not be willingly wasted, I contend. I say the best question might be one not asked, leaving the time saved for more fruitful pursuits. It's not like a fool(ed) can be what there not. SS |
There are only two types of religious people, the deceivers and the deceived. SS |
