1. Good luck trying getting Richard Dawkins to debate him.

Dawkins do not debate cause (as he stated) it was a waste of his time as no one would belive him anyways.

2. Creationists are just plain stupid
You'd have to be stupid to believe that some invisible man-in-the-sky created everything in the universe, and life on Earth, out of pure nothingness.

4. The funny thing is they actually believe they win that argument.
Comfort is made to look like a fool by his own hand and thinks he out smarted Dawkins.

5. did you read some of the comments at youtube?

I wonder if Mike Judge wishes he'd moved up the timeline of his movie about 500 years, IOW, to the present

7. Funny thing is, I believe they are both right.

What they call "Intelligent Design" was described in a book on Edgar Cayce called "There is a River" It was written by Thomas Sugrue, Cayce's biographer. At the end of the book, Sugrue asked Cayce the "Ultimate Question" where did we come from? Cayce, the "sleeping prophet" was an interesting man, known to be exact in some of his readings, and off or just incorrect on others, but he is still known as an incredible phenomenon. In this reading basically said that we were created by some superior "force", that being just the universe and it's laws, or possibly some "intelligent force", and that we also evolved, as we know science and evolution to be known. In any case, it was an amazing reading and made much more sense than just plain science or "creationism". It was more of a melding of both theories, but not as described by the religious community, and of course, happened over a long time.

10. No.. that was Comforts stupid idea..
Edited on Mon Sep-14-09 11:49 PM by stuball111
And typical of those types twisting shit around to make a perfectly credible point seem ludicrous. Dawkins never mentioned aliens, but comfort assumed that's what he meant, according to his limited mindset. "Intelligence" doesn't necessarily mean human or spiritually based forms. It can be just something simple like whatever it is that makes a tree grow, or why there are nebula's. None of those things can be explained by science or religion. Science comes closer by explaining HOW it works and where it came from in evolutionary terms, but not precisely why.
But yeah.. why not aliens.. could be the Tralfamadorians:bounce: I'm open to that too
