22 Messages From Creationists To People Who Believe In Evolution

I asked 22 self-identifying creationists at the Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate to write a message/question/note to the other side. Here’s what they wrote.

*Note to GD Hosts if you feel this is "religion" I will happily self delete. I am posting it more as a current event due to the recent Bill Nye debate.

ETA: Adding a link to more information on the Bill Nye debate.

"If we came from monkeys then why are they still monkeys?"

Because to clench the argument it was being held by a monkey.

1. Hopefully he is doing that.
2. Can't be scared of something that does not exist.
3. For things with required stages of development? Yes....
4. No. The 2nd law of thermodynamics does NOT disprove the theory of evolution. Earth is not a closed system.
5. Seriously? The earth rotates and blocks our view of the sun.
6. See 4. The second law in no ways debunks said theories and only people who have no understanding of any of said laws would try and claim otherwise...
7. What about it?
8. There is no meaning to life. We make our own.
9. Some chemicals combined with other chemicals and created the first single cell organism. Does life resulting from chance scare you?
10. Good for you.
11. We don't.
12. There is far more than lucy...try looking stuff up occasionally.

13. Metamorphosis was evolved just like everything else.
14. Evolution is both a fact and theory. Neither Creationism or the bible are theories.
15. Science is not a theory, it is a method of acquiring knowledge and the collection of said knowledge. Further, it is testable, repeatable, and observable. Creationism is not a science. Also, see the first and 14'th amendments.
16. Mutation, crossing over, errors in replications, etc.
17. There is no purpose. We make up our own purpose.
18. We have found more than 1. See 12.
19. Absolutely
20. How can you look upon the world and see design? Thats like a puddle of water thinking the entire universe was made for it because it fits perfectly in a crack. Its even more amazing when you remove the creator.
21. The big bang did not originate from an exploding star...
22. We evolved from a common ancestor. They don't need to go anywhere.


Man, these people are completely clueless.

To quote Perry Farrell, "we'll make great pets".

Will there be another race
To come along and take over for us?
Maybe Martians could do
Better than we've done

We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets
We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets
We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets
We'll make great pets, we'll make great pets

My friend says we're like the dinosaurs
Only we are doing ourselves in
Much faster than they
Ever did

We'll make great pets

Answer to question 2--->> Not really, since it's obvious you've never brushed shoulders with one.
