Conversation FAIL

Posted at CARM on April 11th, 2009. Creationist: Dr.K - Evolutionary Scientist: Les

Les:
Scientists deny magic. If scientists were to accept magic, then science would be impossible. Since science is possible, the denial of magic makes sense.

Creationism is magic. God, according to Creationists, zaps species, individuals, civilisations into and out of existence. No natural law involved. That is magic. Creationism is a belief in magic.

Denialism is denial in tha face of contrary evidence. Science does not deny contrary evidence, it accepts it. Denial of Creationism is not denialism, because there is no evidence for Creationism. It is a myth, and not a very good one. Creationism has not been denied by science, it has been disproved.

Learn the difference between denial and disproof.

Dr.K:
I deny magic too.

So I am in denial.

But I don't deny the creation.

If a man said to you that he could pull a rabbit out of a hat, and he didn't produce the rabbit, you'd say the guy was a fraud. And you'd be right.

But what if he does produce the rabbit?

Les:
Prove it was a Creation by a god. So produce your rabbit.

Dr.K:
You misunderstand. The rabbit is the universe. It has been produced.

Ah yes - based on the famous Rabbit Nebula, containing within it the Cottontail Constellation.
