So I've had to take this Bible class to graduate. Basically, this guy is a young earth creationist, and he heard that I was an "evolutionist." She he printed out this whole packet of scientists who deny evolution and an old earth and gave it to me. I thought I'd share.

Wait is it just that one page?

Or is there like a stack of it underneath?

Also - truth bends to public opinion? Lol

If you're in high school, good riddance to that place in june.

If you're in college, you're fucking fucked.

Print out a packet of the scientists who support evolution and give it to him.

You'd probably have to use a forklift though.

>> No.1821820

Notice that they only question evolution's validity- but don't support creationism. Evolution is still far more credible than creationism.

MURICA FUCK YEAH
This guy also teaches the class under this concept of a "worldview," and essentially explains to all of us that the only way we can have true meaning, logic, and morals is if we follow the "Biblical Worldview."

Anyone ever hear of this worldview bullshit before?

No it can't, the whole point of science is results should be reproducible.

A scientist would never go about trying to "prove" evolution by simply reeling off a load of scientists who agree with it, they would use the fossil record/dna etc etc.

Anyone that resorts to ad populum is a pussy.

see i knew you'd say that.
it isn't that we have evidence. it's that he won't give a fuck about it (willfully ignorant). Hence, i prefer things that will make them look like an idiot to himself and stfu promptly. Rather than herp derp your argument is this fallacy. HIM: OH YEAH WELL YOURS IS AS WELL. JUST CUZ EVERYONE BELIEVES BIG BANG DOESN'T MEAN ITS TRUE. no you see we have all this evi- LOLNO. EVERYONE BELIVES IT DOESN'T MEAN ITS TRUE.

yeah fuck that lol

but that isn't using ad populum, that's an idiot using another retarded fallacious argument.

In this situation I strongly recommend walking away and saving your breath as there's probably no hope in arguing with them.

>>1821932
lol yeah. its a good argument. Just that it won't connect the dots in his fuckin' head.

You'd be better off doing this. It won't help, but it'll make you feel better.

yu0: Hey guy. Your argument amounts to an ad populum
guy: yeah? so does science. just because all these scientists believe evolution/bigbang/etc doesn't mean its true.
yu0: yeah but you see we have a mountain of supporting evidence.
guy: so? still doesn't mean its true if all the scientists believe it.
yu0: yeah well your mother is a whore.
guy: wat
yu0: well i figure since you're going to stupid about it, we might as well jump straight to the ad hominems and name calling.
