That is called, "not seeing the wood for the trees". Where do you think that places like the Grand Canyon came from? You don't honestly think that such a large series of "sedimentary" layers was laid down on a Sunday School picnic or during flooding due to an unusally wet summer do you?

Of course not. Everyone knows that the Grand Canyon was formed when a bunch of Scots were on a picnic, and one of them dropped a nickel.

The Pathological Liar, it could almost be 'An ode to Francis'

If people like you could have had your way we would never have made such progress in so many diverse fields.

Idiots like you would have still believed that the plague was a punishment from god instead of taking it as a disease, doing research on it, understanding it and defeating it, thus saving many lives, which would have been so much better instead of praying for the souls of the dead.

Idiots like you would be sitting around waiting for the lord jesus to appear and heal the lepers with a single touch instead of spending some of your own brains in trying to cure the disgusting scourge.

Idiots like you would have believed that if a person was born deaf god must have MEANT him to be deaf. Nothing would have inspired you to invent a hearing aid device.

Idiots like you would have believed that it is god's will that man must not fly. Nothing would have made you invent planes.

Idiots like you would never have believed that god would allow any of his creations to become extinct. Dinosaurs would have been a monstrosity to you instead of fossils that proved that life existed for a much longer time than what your lying god would have you believe.

Idiots like you would never have had the brains to question the fact whether Noah took a pair of each dinosaur species aboard (yeah, I can see them, two tyrannosaurus exchanging gossip with some stegosaurus'. Just how big was this ark Laurie? I am sure you MUST have some printed statistics of this biblical truth. Or is it that the only books you quote from are the ones that offer truth in a way that can be twisted. Straight truths seem alien to you)

Idiots like you would still duck under the table whenever there was a lightning flash. It would never have occurred to you that it was electricity and how it would help humanity in the long run. Or how it reacted with nitrogen in the air thus providing valuable material so important for plant life.

Idiots like you would still believe that god gathered the waters of the ocean when they fell of the flat edges of the earth and made them pour down again as rain. Evaporation and cloud formation would have beyond your comprehension.

Idiots like you would still believe that Count Dracula does exist and there are some of the Undead amongst us. Bats as nothing more than any other species of life form would seem unlikely creations of god to you. Don't ticks suck blood? Don't mosquitoes suck blood? What has christ got against bats? That they are much bigger than the rest of the blood suckers? (though it doesn't seem to disturb him that his followers are THE BIGGEST AND WORST bloodsuckers that are ever going to be). Come on Laurie, you are the official spokesperson of god, let us know what god has to say about this.

Idiots like you would never have looked at the stars and figured out that the light reaching your eyes is coming after completing a journey measurable in light years. Heck you wouldn't even know what a light year could be. Oh, and here is another experiment for you. Since you believe that the world just came to be Laurie, try to figure how many earth years it would take for the light from a star 50 light years away to reach here. Match that against what you believe to be the age of the earth. So? Did god make the earth some few million years AFTER making the rest of the universe? Eh Laurie? Perhaps now you will deny that any such thing as light exists, or that it has velocity, or that it can travel? Perhaps light is just a divine glow eh? The moon is just another light bulb, all that crap about the light of the moon taking 8 hours to reach the earth is crap. Right Laurie?

Continuing on the topic of the moon, idiots like you would never have figured out that any such thing as gravity. You would have been too scared shit of hell to consider anything on the lines of, 'the earth sucks'.

And since you wouldn't know that, idiots like you would never have accepted the fact that the tides were a direct result of the movements of the moon. Begorrah! Imagine the nerve of that dirt ball. Going around stirring the waters on the land of god.

If idiots like you were running this world there would be NOTHING that humanity could claim as an outstanding achievement. The earth would have had only one age - the dark age.

Want some hundreds of more examples of how science, despite negating god, continues to server humanity with more honesty and purpose than your god could ever be expected to?

You are right John. I HAVE learned from you and others! What I HAVE learned is that evolutionists are an mostly arrogant, confused, ignorant, conceited, dogmatic "MORONS". One can be almost certain that anything you say will be BAD science and utter blige! Those who constantly try to equate science and evolution are the enemies of truth and honesty. No wonder the evolutionists themselves admitted that the Creationists almost always WON in all those hundreds of open, public, scientific debates

Who the fuck is Laurie Appleton? a google just brought up a few online conversations

Smellyoldgit · 12-21-2014, 05:11 PM

He is a renowned, well respected, peer reviewed Creation Scientist ..... oh wait!

Before the Internet, nerds suffering from boredom congregated in Computer BBS's, and a religious discussion called Holey Smoke was started by someone. It attracted enough nutbars to satisfy ones need to bully and beat up on those afflicted with the God meme. Laurie Appleton was an Australian chicken farmer whose Holey Smoke posts on the usual creationist fare - plate tectonics is BS, the young earth, radiometric dating is bunk, etc., provided much entertainment when there was little on the telly.

AS> Laurie, there is TONS of evidence for an old
AS> universe, for the ancientness of humanity.

LA> Tell you what, leave out all your wild claims about
LA> radiometric dating, since we know that that is all humbug,
LA> and then see how many "tons of evidence" you have for an old
LA> earth? All other measurements show an earth that cannot be
LA> more than a small fraction of one million years at the most!

AS> Okay. I cite...
AS> South America and Africa. LOOK at them, Laurie. They
AS> obviously fit together, like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.

Well there is some sort of similarity in their opposite coastlines for some of the way.

AS> Now we KNOW about plate tectonics. Seismographs have
AS> "mapped" some of the interior of the Earth, and we know the
AS> plates the continents rest on are moving very, very
AS> slowly...and in the amount of time since South America and
AS> Africa seperated...they got that far apart.

Are you saying that these continents have ALWAYS moved apart (if they ever moved at all) as the present alleged rates? Is so then what time span does that provide you? Again, since we KNOW with equal certainty that erosion at PRESENT rates would reduce all the world's continents to sea level "many times since "life came up on the land" about (alleged) 400 million years ago. Then how many times should both Africa and South America have been eroded to sea level in the TIME you claim that they have been separating? Why, particularly if land surfaces are also supposed to be rising and falling all the time could their respective coastlines remain similar in any reasonable way for any substantial time span? If your other arguments are as pathetic as that one then you don't have anything going for you at all, do you?

Wow! I've never heard of him either. What is it with Australia? Along with Ham that's now two (that I know of) high profile YEC mouthpieces we've produced.
