Dawkins video: One fact to refute creationism

And a rather harsh criticism of a particular young Earth creationist.
Ah, Dawkins, God love him! :twisted:

Good one. The story here is that the genetic tree has a natural elegance that proves it is the basis of life. Creationists are dumb weirdos who stick their fingers in their ears and go la la la

That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

I agree completely with Dawkins' remarks here, which is why I refuse to engage in debates with creationists. It is useless and a waste of time.

It has nothing to do with his less than stellar performance with Ben Stein and others.

It's called Turtling Up.

I love this man.
Debating with religious followers is a pointless waste of time, or they use are straw man arguments or finally say it is a matter of faith or get all bitchy and say you will burn in hell so what is the point in arguing with them? let them have their stupid beliefs. And their cults
It's a scary night in the lonesome October

If it's not a defense,
And it's not a denial,
It must be a diversion.
