A science denier complained about being called a science denier.

UPDATE: This whole thing was a mistake. I didn't know the person I was criticizing was a grandmother with seven grandchildren. If I knew that I wouldn't have bothered with it.

There's a lot of bullshit at this website. I wrote a comment about the part where the Bible thumper advertises his favorite Liar for the Dead Jeebus. My comment may or may not get censored. Here it is:

Human Ape

if you do not believe in evolution

Nobody “believes” in evolution. The word “believe” is for religious fantasies, not basic scientific facts that have massive powerful evidence from molecular biology, genetics, and many other branches of science. Biologists “accept” the established truth of evolution. They don’t have to “believe” it because of the massive evidence for it, evidence your Christian fantasies will never have. You deny the evidence but you don’t even know what you’re denying. You have no idea what’s been going on in molecular biology. You haven’t a clue. You know nothing but you think you know more than all the world’s biologists.

Mr. Bible thumper, your “there are questions being asked” are being asked by Dr. Carl Wieland who is the Managing Director of Creation Ministries International.

Wieland is the director of Magic Ministries. Like you, he believes in magic.

I have questions about your fairy’s magical powers. What kind of magic wand does it use? When it created creatures out of nothing, did it say abracadabra or hocus pocus or what?

Wieland wrote about his “15 questions that evolutionists cannot satisfactorily answer.

Biologists are called “biologists”, not “evolutionists”.

The problem for Wieland and his gullible customers is scientists have answered those questions and even a small brained Christian can use google to find the answers.

I haven’t all day to spend with willfully ignorant people so I will choose just one question and save you the few minutes it would take you to look it up yourself if you weren’t so lazy.

Why is natural selection taught as ‘evolution’ as if it explains the origin of the diversity of life?

Natural selection is one of the most important mechanisms of evolution and it most certainly does explain the diversity of life. It’s a stupid question that would only be asked by someone who is unable to understand what natural selection is, and who is too lazy to study science.

Natural selection is the non-random selection of favorable genes. Creatures who have what it takes to become parents pass their superior genes to the next generation. Harmful mutations disappear from the population because those creatures drop dead before they reproduce. An example is when the small population of our ancestors almost went extinct during an African drought. The predatory apes who lived then were more likely to pass on their genes if they had a small increase in brain size. The fossil evidence that you science deniers deny or more likely don’t know about shows a gradual increase in brain size. That’s natural selection, a mechanism that has been working every minute for almost four billion years.

Another thing you science deniers don’t understand is the fossil evidence, while important because fossils help scientists understand the details of the history of life, is not necessary to prove the truth of evolution. There is much more powerful evidence than fossils, and that comes from what scientists can see with their own eyes when they compare DNA sequences of different living species. You have no idea how much scientific evidence you have to deny to throw out evolution and believe in your dead Jeebus.

The world’s biologists would laugh at your Liar for the Dead Jeebus if they had ever heard of him. Of course your favorite moron doesn’t really care about scientists or science. He just has to satisfy his cowardly gullible customers who are willing to believe in any supernatural bullshit if it makes them feel good, even if their fantasies require throwing out more than 150 years of scientific progress.

Since I wasted so much time writing what should be obvious to any educated grammar school student, and since you’re only one person and you won’t understand any of it, I’m going to put this comment on my blog with a link to your thread. So you might get some more visitors.

Have a nice day, Mr. Bible thumper.

I came back later and found out I was picking on a grandmother with seven grandchildren.

Whoops. I wrote this 2nd comment:

Correction: Ms. Bible thumper, not Mr. Bible thumper.


If I knew you were a grandma I wouldn’t have bothered you.
