Ricky Gervais, Creationist

Posted at 3:53 pm by Richard and tagged adam-and-eve, bible, creation, creationism, garden-of-eden, genesis, gospel, humour, ricky-gervais, truth. Popularity: 34% [?]

Ricky Gervais on Creationism (taking the piss, of course…). He even opens with a disclaimer:

Some of the things you’ll hear do sound a little bit far fetched, I’ll admit that. But then I found out that the other name for the bible is “The Gospel”. So it is all true. Luckily, the clue is in the title.

Ahh… the old “the bible’s true because it says so” argument… put much more eloquently, of course.

Looks like YouTube is taking submissions for an upcoming presidential candidate debate.

I can’t imagine the atheist community would have anything important to confront them about? (*cough* evolution *cough*) Anyone skilled with a camera, and able to present a good case in 30 seconds or so?

If you’ve got some ideas, check out http://www.youtube.com/debates

SPAM and Creationism

Posted at 12:44 am by Richard and tagged creationism, email, evolution, god, scam, spam, stupidity, trust. Popularity: 22% [?]

58% of USAians don’t realise that people might try and scam them online, and probably trust everything they get via email. In other news, 55% of USAians believe that God created humans in their present form.

Anybody see the correlation?
