It’s like a Young Earth turkey shoot

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I’ve joined The Genesis Union at Gamespot, which bills itself as “a place for discussion about Origin. [sic] Focusing mainly on the Creation v Evolution debate.”

The founder is a Young Earth creationist, and fulfills most of the stereotypes of the anti-evolutionary fundamentalist. Fun chap to talk to, even if I do spend most of said talks demolishing his statements point by point.

But anyhow, yeah…this union is totally a turkey shoot. I’m the most prolific commentator on it who holds a non-Young Earth position, and it really is amusing to think that I’m taking on three or four people all at once, especially since I’ve yet to break a sweat doing so.

Not that I intend to brag…but the alternative was to launch into yet another long-winded rant about the inherent ignorance of any viewpoint, religious or atheistic, which begins with the assumption of a dichotomy existing between science and Religion, or between “creation” and “evolution.”

And really, is Thursday the day for that sort of thing?

I thought not.
