Creationism - an example

[carlosMM]

I just stumbled over this wonderful website, where Richard Forrest addresses an example of AiG articles.
I recommend it to anyone interestedin this matter.

I almost laughed my butt off!


best of all:
http://www.plesiosaur.com/creationism/swissichthyosaur/more_1.htm

check the differences between the original and the AiG version
(German text:
Figues 1 and 2 show the official version of embedding
Figure 1:
(1) death
(2) dead ichtyosaurus sinks, lungs collaps, this leads to head-down posture
(3) partial sinking into sediment
(4) scavangers and decay destroy the exposed parts of the body. Embedded parts become fossilized)
under the graph, the layer names are given.

Figure 2:
Embedding
increasing overlay pressure
differential compaction

Aren't the differences between this and the AiG graph striking?
Interestingly, AiG presented THEIR changed version as the quoted scientist's version!
Check the german author's comment on this here:

Does anyone have any links for similar cases of AiG lies? Exposed as succintly and thoroughly?
I'd love to have them

I believe Richard Forrest has a similar deconstruction of AiG's statement about Tiktaalik.

 

[carlosMM]

More evolutionist propaganda!!!!

[Eran of Arcadia]

That was absolutely brilliant.

Incidentally, where's Perf, and why hasn't he set up a new duck hunt ... erm, KO thread yet?

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Yesterday he promised to set it up in a few hours, perhaps he's been banned?

 

[The Last Conformist]

He just posted in another thread ...

I saw the banana thing on another site posted by Cartesian Fart a while back, this particular lecture is way funnier IMO, it's about memes and in particular religous ones, and it's definitely worth a look especially if you like creationist or religous stuff.

Click on Broad band assuming you have it or whatever and your away.

Daniel Dennett is my favorite contemporary philosopher

Incidentally, where's Perf, and why hasn't he set up a new duck hunt ... erm, KO thread yet?

Usually I come up with a little topic starters for this threads, I had a mental block onto what I was going to put on the new topic starter, but I think I've figured out what to do.

The bible also says that every hole in your body will have worms crawling out. That's grose I know,

I love how that person cites "grossness" as being the primary deterrant there. Nevermind the eternal pain and all that, worms are like totally gross!!!!

I suppose we're all simply doomed to spend eternity in the darkness of hell amid fire so hot that it's dark and heat resistant worms with a preference for bodily holes

 

[carlosMM]

in, no less, clear fire!

It seems the only proper response to Jennifer is: "Oh my God"....

 

[Elrohir]

Wow, now there's a website. I'm convinced.

hehe, why is my sarcasmometer dinging like crazy?


Oh, right, it's Elrohir.... well, any answers the the critizism of AiG here? Or do you stipulate as to the errors they made?
