Re: Top Ten Questions to Ask Your Atheist Science Teacher!

[QUOTE=OnlyAtheistHere;603123]

1) We didn't evolve from Chimpanzees. We share a common ancestor with them. (Both chimpanzees and humans evolved from the same mammalian creature.)

Then how come I always see that picture of that chimpanzee turning into the caveman turning into the human being? Darwin even said that man evolved from chimps in Origin of the Species. I'm only pointing out what mainstream science claims.

2) Not all atheists support the big bang. The lack of evidence on that theory makes me question it's place in science.

Thank you. I'm glad you've conceded it's a bunk theory.

3) You're dumber than I thought. The earth revolves around the sun, and the earth rotates by itself, via gravity. Our rotation means that as we spin, the sun is in different positions in the sky, while staying stationary. As for how we stay on Earth, aforementioned gravity is to thank for that.

Then how could've God stopped the sun in the book of Joshua? It didn't say He stopped the Earth.

4) Not even true. Take a look at any X-ray. That's just a lie created by Christians.

Well I'm not a doctor so I don't have access to X-rays.

5) Stars are large objects. They have a regulation size to be classified as stars. Knowing the actual size, it is easy to calculate an approximate distance seeing how small they appear.

But how could they know the size of them? To know distance, you have to know the size and to know the size you have to know the distance. It's a chicken-and-egg problem.

6) Computer information and genetic information are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS! To compare the two is ridiculous.

No, it's not.

7) It take millions of years to evolve.

But, the universe is only 6,000 years old so where do you get the "millions" of years to evolve?

8) Maybe because Adam is a real character. And since the time of the writing of the bible. Millions of species have been discovered and classified. Some even created through selective breeding.

I'm thinking actually all these other "species" are really just one "species", but the scientists are confused. Like, even though chinks look totally different from us, they are the same species as us.

9)Really? It takes an unimaginable amount of chemicals to form a brain. And the chemicals found in gasoline and bug spray can easily be counted using your fingers.

Okay, so if I put a Twinkie (which has hundreds of chemicals) in the gasoline/bug spray mixture, a brain will form?

10) Time stops from the perspective of the object traveling at the speed of light. Speed of light is a hard area to cover, very complex.

Time can't "stop". Try imagining stopped time. You can't. It's impossible!

Before bashing or trying to disprove something, make sure you understand it.

You're paraphrasing me now!

Look I have put a lot of time and effort in to showing these people the error of they ways, if you wish to do the same at least try and get a basic understanding of what their ways are.

Let me help you out on that one..

Do men and women have the same number of ribs? A misconception among some Christians is that men have fewer ribs than women. They wrongly believe this is what the Bible teaches.

Listen, everything your saying to debunk my answers are following the bible. Asking those questions to a science teacher will get similar results to mine. I'm not an expert in the field, but he/she probably is. Science and religion rarely go hand in hand.

As for your Twinkie response, clever and delicious. But only certain chemicals can replicate a brains activity. Even then, those certain chemicals have to be paired in a certain order. You'll probably bring up something about the bible and the brain and all I have to say to that is okay. You've chosen to believe the bible, I've chosen to believe science. The answers when the question is brought to someone of one of those beliefs will be different no matter what. And if I continued to respond your your response, we would be in a seemingly never ending response war.

Believe what you want. Just imagine the knowledge your missing out on.

It's not looks. It's genetic information. A good example is a Dog and a wolf. Certain breeds of dog do look similar to a wolf. One may even mistake a wolf for a dog. But when you get down on a genetic level, you will see that despite the staggering number of similarities, there are quite a few differences in the genetic code.

Re: Top Ten Questions to Ask Your Atheist Science Teacher!

Yet, a wolf can mate with a dog, so they can't be too different.

And of course you've studied all of this stuff and done experiments on your own, right? It's not just because you read it in some book and had some leader teacher tell you it.

But when you get down on a genetic level, you will see that despite the staggering number of similarities, there are quite a few differences in the genetic code.

Oh now you're on my turf kiddo. How much time and effort have you put into studying phenotype and genotype of dogs? How many hours have you spent studying dog packs, dogs individually, and the differences between dog breeds. Have you ever met a wolf-dog or a coydog? Have you ever even seen a wolf in the wild? Have you seen a wolf pack hunt? Have you sat for over an hour and just watched a coyote hunt? Have you ever had to deal with feral dogs and do you realize why they are so much more dangerous to people than wolves?

I can tell you that I can spot a wolf from even the closest wolf hybrid. I have unexplainable questions, but I have taken these questions to expert geneticists who have not been able to answer my questions. Even my vet in Canada used to accuse me of playing "stump the vet" with him, because when I came in with a question it quite often ended up on the CVMA website being hotly debated by vets throughout the country.

Shame on you, OnlyAtheistHere. Instead of presenting the evidence, you simply repeat an out-and-out fabrication. Well, I grabbed a copy of Grey's Anatomy in my library at the NYU College of Dentistry, and here's what it shows for a man's ribcage:


Count them for yourself. This is proof positive that men are missing one rib.

[A common man]

Re: Top Ten Questions to Ask Your Atheist Science Teacher!

Well, school's just around the corner and that means millions of Christian students in our country are going to be taking atheist propoganda indoctrination courses a.k.a science classes. Unfortunately, many Christian kids buy into the lies their atheist teachers tell them and start to question their faith. Instead of questioning the reality of seven-day creation or God stopping the sun from revolving around the Earth, question your science teacher instead! Here are ten surefire questions that will leave your teacher stumped!

1. If humans evolved from chimpanzees, why are chimpanzees still around?
2. The Big Bang Theory proposes that everything in the Universe started from something called singularity which is smaller than an atom. How can you stuff everything in the universe in that? It's hard enough to stuff four suitcases in the trunk of your car!
3. If the earth really revolves around the sun, then why when we look at the sun we can see it plainly revolving around the earth? (And if the earth was moving around the sun, wouldn't we all fly off into space?)
4. If women were not created from Adam's rib, why is it that men have one fewer rib than women?
5. How do scientists know stars are "millions of light years away"? Have they been there and back? Do they have a tape measure that stretchs that long?
6. Scientists say all our genetic information is coded on DNA. But DNA is an acid! How can you write information in acid? You can write information on a hard drive, but not a liquid!
7. People have been wearing clothes for thousands of years. Why haven't our bodies evolved natural clothes that come out of our skin then?
8. If there really are millions and millions of species, then how could have Adam named them all? Obviously, there's not that many species then! (Gen 2:18-22)
9. If our brains are just a mishmash of biochemistry, how come chemicals like gasoline or bug spray can't think?
10. Einstein said that if you approach the speed of light, time slows down. Once you hit the speed of light, time stops. If that is so, how come light can travel from point A to point B if time is stopped for light?

Don't let your science teacher weasel out of these questions! If he makes some stupid comments like "Well that question is meaningless" or "Evolution doesn't work that way" or "You have a poor understanding of science", don't let him get away with it! He is only trying to buy time because he know he can't answer your questions. Press him and make him answer your questions. That's what a teacher is for...right?

This was funny, I had to respond to this. I stumbled across your website while googling for religious pictures just for fun.

Few of those questions will leave an educated teacher dumbfounded. I am not a teacher, nor am I a scientist but I will answer these anyway, just for fun.

1. We all evolved from bacteria and bacteria is still around. Schimpanzees and humans are not siblings, but cousins, evolved from common ancestors. Both have been durable enough to live on, while 99 % of all lifeforms that ever lived are now extinct. Nothing to argue about, open up any school literature or book on the subject.

2. Science does not know everything and is very open with that. "We don't know, but we are investigating it" is what they say about the research about how the universe began. The big bang theory is not proven, but more speaks for it than for any religious explanation. It is pointless to "explain" something rather unlikely with a completely unlikely supernatural creator.

3.

This is completely ridiculous and very funny. I am not sure if you are being ironic but I will reply supposing that you are serious. Do you believe the earth is flat as well? Earth revolves around the sun and what you see is the sun, so it looks like it revolves around the earth. Centrifugal force works against the gravity of the sun to keep the earth at a distance of about 150 million kilometres if I recall correctly, school was some time ago.

If you don't believe the scientific laws of gravity, feel free to jump out of a window and test the theory.

4.

I have no idea, never read about it or thought about it. I presume it is to leave space for a growing fetus. Anyway, one can easily come up with 1000 more likely explanations than something that comes from a storybook.

5.

I don't know. I will read into it, and then I will know. The bible does not give you a distance to different stars, or the moon, or the sun, so how will you ever know if you reject science?

6.

It is not a liquid. There are many acids that are solid, such as copper sulphate, or the salt you find on sour candy.

Or do you reject the existence of candy as well?

7.

Apes had, and have fur. Natural selection made most of the fur redundant, after all, humans did first evolve in central africa and not on Greenland. Some fur is left on a few parts of the body for obvious reasons, such as keeping sweat from running into eyes.

8.

I don't understand the question. You just have to look at the world to see that there are millions of species. Most are insects I believe. The bible does not mention the existence of polar bears, does that mean that they do not exist?

Feel free to go to the arctic, walk up to a polar bear and slap him across the nose. See if the illusion turns out to be painfully real.

10.

It must be that the laws of physics affect light rays differently than matter. Scientists does not yet know everything about this, and are humble when saying that is so. Then again, Muslims don't know anything at all about it, neither does hindus, or aborigins, or christians, or eskimos.

Secondly, the slowing down of time is scientifically measured and proven. A spaceship does "age" slower than the base on the ground, though only by small fractions of a second.

But maybe you do reject the existence of space travel too?

Re: Top Ten Questions to Ask Your Atheist Science Teacher!

Shame on you, OnlyAtheistHere. Instead of presenting the evidence, you simply repeat an out-and-out fabrication. Well, I grabbed a copy of Grey's Anatomy in my library at the NYU College of Dentistry, and here's what it shows for a man's ribcage:


Count them for yourself. This is proof positive that men are missing one rib.

Firstly, that picture is probably modified. See to the right, were an "extra" rib is. The lower part of it grows out of the third backbone (the correct english term eludes me at the moment) from the bottom, and the top part of this rib grows out of the fourth backbone from the bottom. On the left side the rib has been edited out from the third one, but it has not been removed from the fourth one as you can see it growing out and disappear into nowhere.

Compare the two sides. Then watch the original picture before it was edited:

Anyway, this is just pictures. Fact of the matter is: Men and women normally have the same number of ribs.

" Cervical Rib
A cervical rib is a supernumerary or accessory
rib arising from the seventh cervical vertebra.
This abnormality occurs in approximately 0.5%
of the population and is more common in females
than in males (8) (Fig 10)."

Read the report at http://radiographics.rsna.org/content/19/1/105.full.pdf

Or any other existing study on the subject.

Re: Top Ten Questions to Ask Your Atheist Science Teacher!

What do you mean?Of course the earth is flat.Don't tell me that you believe nonsense like "gravity" and "centrifugal force".

Re: Top Ten Questions to Ask Your Atheist Science Teacher!

I always assumed that after God made Eve with Adam's rib, he had the good sense to put it back when he was done.

Both have been durable enough to live on, while 99 % of all lifeforms that ever lived are now extinct. Nothing to argue about, open up any school literature or book on the subject.

If you want to be related to bacteria and chimpanzees, that's your business and would actually explain a lot of the ignorance you've spewed into this fine board. I can only thank God that the internet keeps me shielded from the literal fecal matter you will no doubt throw as your wrongheaded scientific arguments are refuted. Ramble all you want about extinct species and fossils and dinosaurs. Those of us with the good sense to see through the traps of the deceiver will have the last laugh as you burn in the pit.

As for books, I've only found two that were worth anything: FMFM 6-4 and KJV-1611.

2. Science does not know everything and is very open with that. "We don't know, but we are investigating it" is what they say about the research about how the universe began. The big bang theory is not proven, but more speaks for it than for any religious explanation. It is pointless to "explain" something rather unlikely with a completely unlikely supernatural creator.

Science doesn't know anything. You need to brush up on your spelling. I'll correct it for you this time:

"We cannot explain the Lord's miraculous works and will make up insane lies about it" is what they say about the research about how the universe began.

You don't even seem understand your own false science. According to to the lab-coated, basement-dwelling heathens you worship, no theory can be proven.

3.This is completely ridiculous and very funny. I am not sure if you are being ironic but I will reply supposing that you are serious. Do you believe the earth is flat as well? Earth revolves around the sun and what you see is the sun, so it looks like it revolves around the earth. Centrifugal force works against the gravity of the sun to keep the earth at a distance of about 150 million kilometres if I recall correctly, school was some time ago.

If you don't believe the scientific laws of gravity, feel free to jump out of a window and test the theory.

There are no scientific laws, only the Laws of the Almighty. He decided that we would plant our feet on the solid, flat earth, not some egghead in a lab. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, also according to His will. It's very simple. Go outside and take a look for yourself.

4. I have no idea, never read about it or thought about it. I presume it is to leave space for a growing fetus. Anyway, one can easily come up with 1000 more likely explanations than something that comes from a storybook.

5. I don't know. I will read into it, and then I will know. The bible does not give you a distance to different stars, or the moon, or the sun, so how will you ever know if you reject science?

So you refuse to take the simple explanations offered in The Good Book, the very Word of God, but plan to refute the Truth of Scripture using books you haven't even read, written by men who can't make up their minds about the very subjects they are supposed to be experts in? Is this more of your scientific reasoning? No wonder those folks are always changing their minds about their "theories" and "laws".

6.It is not a liquid. There are many acids that are solid, such as copper sulphate, or the salt you find on sour candy.

Or do you reject the existence of candy as well?

You're trying to dodge the point the good Reverend was making. If I write on copper sulphate or salt, will it build a man? A chimp? An insect? Bacteria?

7.Apes had, and have fur. Natural selection made most of the fur redundant, after all, humans did first evolve in central africa and not on Greenland. Some fur is left on a few parts of the body for obvious reasons, such as keeping sweat from running into eyes.

So now we're not just the cousins of monkeys, we're the cousins of African monkeys who evolved from bacteria? If we follow your theory here, then why isn't everyone black? The Bible has an answer, if you'll but put aside your superstitious beliefs in science and open it up. While we're at it, why do African monkeys have fur if it's so hot there? Why is it the Africans don't have fur?

8.I don't understand the question. You just have to look at the world to see that there are millions of species. Most are insects I believe. The bible does not mention the existence of polar bears, does that mean that they do not exist?

Feel free to go to the arctic, walk up to a polar bear and slap him across the nose. See if the illusion turns out to be painfully real.

No one has disputed the existence of bears, and anyone foolish enough to do so only need read 2 Kings 2:24:

"And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them."

As you can plainly see, your argument is invalid.

10. It must be that the laws of physics affect light rays differently than matter. Scientists does not yet know everything about this, and are humble when saying that is so. Then again, Muslims don't know anything at all about it, neither does hindus, or aborigins, or christians, or eskimos.

You have the audacity to call the same scientists you credit with refuting the Word of God and unlocking the so-called secrets of the universe humble? Why can't you just admit you have no answer? Again, instead of accepting the easiest and most obvious explanation offered by he Bible, you hem and haw, retreating to the blasphemous ignorance of your scientists and other Hell-bound heathens. How do you atheists have the nerve to call Christians irrational?

Secondly, the slowing down of time is scientifically measured and proven. A spaceship does "age" slower than the base on the ground, though only by small fractions of a second.

But maybe you do reject the existence of space travel too?

Again, you claim knowledge from a source outside yourself; scientific knowledge you gleaned from a book written who knows when by some person you've never met and claim it as fact, offering maybes, all the while rejecting the ultimate wisdom offered by the Bible. I have never been in space, and I would guess you haven't either. I reject the existence of Godzilla as well, even though I watched a film of Matthew Broderick kicking his lizardy butt. I don't know how you can be so pig-headed and ignorant, I don't know the game you are playing, but I do know you've lost it and are going to end up bathing in Hellfire, as you deserve.
