1. Either it's true or the bible is wrong

They can't have it both ways.

3. No, one can be a person of faith and believe in evolution and science

6. I'm not saying they can't

I'm saying they can't believe in evolution and simultaneously reasonably believe the bible is accurate. The Young Earth Creationism "theory" establishes a timeline directly from the bible that puts the earth somewhere around 6,000 yrs old. So either the earth really is that old or the bible is wrong. Both can't be true.

8. For grins, here is Jewish view of creation/science and the Torah

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4450200. Jewish scholars are able to take a literal reading of the Torah and reconcile this with the Big Bang theory

2. Bill Nye did a good job

This is a sign that the debate was worthwhile

10. Well, I guess we all better embrace creationism...

You wouldn't want to ally yourself with the likes of Pat Robertson, would you?


According to the favorite logical fallacy of some, here.

14. Yep, Hitler loved dogs.

11. "God's the author of all life"… so sayeth the oil drillers….

Thanks, Pat! … "and, we're all going to heaven, right after I cash in!"

12. Can't believe I'm agreeing that Pat makes sense about this. Although I'm Agnostic myself,

I've always wondered why True Believers can't accept that if God exists and "works in mysterious ways," why wouldn't he amuse himself by creating the evolutionary process?

18. We're singing the EXACT same tune!

"Flabberghasted" is NOT an adequate word to express my surprise at Robertson's revelations here! His admissions here - even with HIS slant to them - boggle my mind! This from a guy who truly believes that Satan's curse can be carried by inanimate objects. LOL! Hell, maybe the "end times" truly ARE in the offing!!!

13. Look everybody, Facts !!

It's always good to present an argument by demonstrating your knowledge of history and citing a source - "some bishop in the middle ages - 1800 and something......." should be good enough for most of the Robertson viewers

[Iggo]

15. LOL

[SamKnause]

16. "God" is in control of everything.

"God" is in charge of everything.

Statements made by Pat.

I think "God" is doing a piss poor job, and has been from the very start, and needs to be FIRED !!!!!

[Plucketeer]

19. God 'n PAt are SO close.....

I think God's just "playin'" with Pat for laughs. Pat might even get the joke eventually!

20. Thanks Pat

Now about that Mormon endorsement.
