“”The belief that natural elements created matter requires the same faith creationists have that God created the earth. Unfortunately, since no one was around, this neither truth-claim is truly verifiable. It was only a short time ago that humans fabricated this faith that the elements evolved without a creator. While a belief’s life span is not as relevant, it does stand to reason that if life evolved, creator-free, someone would have developed this theory and taught long ago. Instead, we see primitive societies worshiping various Higher Beings and of course, we have a recording of the actual creation in the Bible. Typically, this is dismissed by evolutionists as religion, not science. This is undeniably false – since God created the earth, He was involved in science. He does not require evidence. Only faith. But He is man enough to allow His creation to not choose Him. And He was smart enough to leave no “evidence” for evolution for these wanderers who instead must be as ardent believers in evolution as Christians are in the Creator.”

I admit I loaded this “quiz” a bit, but I couldn’t think of much else to do with that muddled load of shit up there. I’m fairly certain that every sentence that makes something akin to grammatical sense contains at least one bad assumption, factual error, or outright lie.
Bonus points to those who can name the referents of choices A through E without looking any of them up.

That ranks up there as one of the hands down dumbest defenses of creationism I’ve heard.

A) Hush: Harris prefers not to reveal that his graduate study in neuroscience is at UCLA.
B) Pinker
C) Dennett
D) Dawkins. Unless “not looking them up” means I can’t look up ‘ethologist’.

He does not require evidence. Only faith
So God, the tricky bastard, it require faith in its own ass now? Or does whoever wrote that indecipherable shit mean that for God to exist, people need faith IN the bitch, not evidence FOR the bitch?

No, we dismiss the teachings of your religion as mythology. Hmm. Primitive societies worshipping (ed note) fictional Higher Beings. I couldn’t have expressed better than the author how I feel about all religious people.
