How Ken Ham Just Carried The Entire Jesus Movement Backwards

Pat Robertson to Ken Ham: “Let’s Not Make A Joke Of Ourselves”
February 5, 2014 By Benjamin L. Corey


Pat did it again– he said something that was both reasonable and true all at the same time.

In his final analysis of the Ken Ham debate, Pat now says in reference to Ken Ham’s version of young earth creationism: “There ain't no way that’s possible… It’s time we come off of that stuff… let’s be real– let’s not make a joke of ourselves”.

He went on to say that: “just because we have progressive evolution under God’s control- that doesn’t hurt my faith at all”.

Exactly.

I love it when people get old because they say funny stuff. In this case, it seems that Pat’s age is causing him to say some stuff that’s actually quite reasonable.

God is the agent behind everything you see– and however it was created, God did it.

Let the battle be that we point people to the agent behind it all, instead of quibbling about the stuff that doesn’t really matter.

Or, as Pat says, “Let’s not make a joke of ourselves.”

There they become more sane as they get older.

Sorry Pat, your crowd is already God's little laughing stock

7. Well, at least not

a joke even their listeners would understand.

8. "progressive evolution under god's control" LOL

Evolution is not progressive or any other direction other than change. It's the randomness of mutation that is simply part of being life on earth.

sure, someone can credit god for that.

but they need to understand that there is no "arrow" of intelligent design directing living beings.

so, Pat's almost there.

9. Wait...what?

It's also in Salon: http://www.salon.com/2014/02/05/pat_robertson_begs_ken_ham_to_shut_up/

I had to read that twice to make sure Pat Robertson said that. And he did.

Did the world turn upside down?
