Jedah Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Alright, I know Im not the only one who reads Chick comics for shits and giggles at how amazingly dumb the guy can get, but what in the world is this shit ? http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1038/1...1.asp&wpp=a Ive been away from fundyville and in college recently which is why I havent posted so much. Not being around fundies really makes you forget about them, but... ...what the hell is this ? Did I miss something ? When the hell did creationists come up with this garbage ? Bigger animals could no longer breath thicker air...and thats what killed the dinosaurs...WTF ?!?! ..... ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhampir Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I skimmed through that. Looks like they are conflating dinosaurs with dragons, and dragosaurs apparently are as intelligent as humans, and think like them. They also sweat, and try to hide from assailants in... clouds? And they tend not to use their vastly superior size and weight to defend themselves from humans, who seem to chase them in groups of 3 or 4 with sharpened sticks. And the hunt depicted was apparently fairly recent, as the people were dressed like 17th century farm hands. And apparently god wasn't smart enough to provide a mechanism by which the dinosaurs would survive the thinned air post-flood, being that they were put on the ark so as to propagate their species thereafter, according to the picture of the egg hatching.

Mike D Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 What's even more laughable about this is most dinosaurs were herbivores. If all the plants were destoryed, what were they supposedly eating until they were "caught"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhampir Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I missed that! I like that about Christian arguments. Any attempt to explain an inconsistency causes another one elsewhere. I like to call it the Leaky Wall Phenomenon© : There's 10 holes, and only 9 plugs; any attempt to plug one leak causes another to be exposed.

Ouroboros Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 That's a very stupid argument. My question is: why did then the giraffe survive, and the elephant? And why did stegosaurus and all smaller dinosaurs die? Chick makes things up. Lying isn't far from the Christian mindset when it comes to "convert" people.

Jedah Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 There's 10 holes, and only 9 plugs; any attempt to plug one leak causes another to be exposed. This is the reason why I have decided to stay away from debating with christians and have stopped posting as often. Its like a neverending run-around of circular logic and stupidity. The only differance I would point out is that in xianity's case its more like 1000 holes and maybe 10 plugs. I figure the intelligent ones will eventually realize how their defenses are constantly self defiled and go apostate. My question is: why did then the giraffe survive, and the elephant? And why did stegosaurus and all smaller dinosaurs die? Well obviously god used his sky-pie fairy magic to create magical air bubbles around them so they could breath. Duh.

dr_funkenstein Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Not to take away from the amazing inanity of Chick and his tracts, but I sometimes think that maybe the fact that such obviously ignorant and stupid xians exist takes our focus away from the ones whose theology is a little more sophisticated. People like Chick, and creatonists in general, are easy targets. My own personal experience is that creationists and ID'ers are in the minority among xians here in Australia. Most xians I know believe in evolution, the big bang and everything science has to say about the way the universe works. To them, none of it has any bearing on the God hypothesis or their faith in it, they simply see it as God's way of setting the wheels in motion. To such people, mockery of creationists does nothing to challenge their ideas about God, because they've managed to somehow incorporate what they know about science into what the bible tells them. They use ideas like historical context and a non-literal interpretation of the bible to sort of "lubricate" their God so he's a little more slippery and harder to pin down. Haha I just talked about God being lubricated. Anyway that's just a thought. Let the mockery continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwc Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I remember seeing something on television about oxygen levels and various ancient animals but I think they all pre-dated the dino's. I want to say it was about giant insects and things like that but it showed that one species lived when the planet had something like 40% oxygen and then it dropped after a cataclysm so they couldn't rise back to dominance so another group then rose up since the atmosphere favored them and the cycle continued up through the dino's and finally us today. mwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhampir Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 What I want to know is why would god create over a million species of animals, only to have 90% of them go extinct after only a couple millennia after a flood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
