Also I don't see how proving college kids need a level of faith to comprehend something they can't have happening in front of them proves shit. There are thousands of creation myths and the Christian one sucks if you take out all the non-canon shit.

"micro-evolution"

Just a quick question: how many micro-evolutions equals a macro-evolution? 3? 5? A thousand?

12 Micros in a macro and I'm smashin' 'em like it's 1999

It's like you want to slap him with a dictionary until all the pages fall out except the one with the word "inference" on it.

I believe the micro/macro conversion rate for creationists is:

Micro-evolution - Any sort of evolutionary change we can't deny happens or we can explain away easily enough. (ie. "Yes it's a new type of bacteria, but it's still just a bacteria!")

Macro-evolution - Any ridiculous change that would never happen if evolutionary theory is correct, but by demanding it as proof of evolution it makes our case look better. (ie. "Has a dog given birth to a cat? Ever? No? Evolution is a lie!")

I dated a girl once who was brought up an in extremely hardcore fundamentalist community (though she had already just begun to identify as an agnostic before we met) and she was taught to believe that's what evolution was. A full-on monkey gave birth to a human one day. I learned about this on a camping trip with her, did a spit-take, explained to her how it actually works... and it blew her mind.

I'm sure there's some truth to the statement, the difference being that homosexuality has absolutely no impact on anything other than where you choose to put your dangly bits.

Right, as in they've discovered a predisposition to religious belief in certain parts of the brain.

I think I saw an article or two about a push to make fervent belief in religion a diagnosable mental illness.

Also, who created God? You can't just have something spontaneously appear out of nothing!

He's been given that before. His response to the first one is "I don't have to be there, the bible tells me what happened." and his response to the second one is "God is eternal and was not created because the bible."
Ray Comfort is fucking boring.

And yet he'll trot out the "were you there?!" argument when trying to disprove evolution.

Ray Comfort is functionally retarded. When he's pressed on these things, he retreats into such incredible bullshit that I think it's his defense technique because he knows it makes people just kind of stop and go "huh? seriously?"
