Description:

Kirk Cameron's special man friend, Ray Comfort, has produced many Creationism videos wherein he castigates scientists for doing science. In one of his videos, which at the moment I cannot find, Master Comfort objected to scientists using words and phrases such as "Maybe, Could Have, Probably, Is thought to be, is likely to be, appears to be," and similar phrases.

i think there was a sandman quote along the lines of"when you shoot the messenger all that happens is people stop sending you mail".

I remember an episode of the Way of the Master where they went out on the street and cruicified Atheists for being unable to answer questions which scientists themselves were still working on. they poisoned the well by telling the audience to watch out for phrazes like "I don't know" and "I'm not an expert" which is extremely hypocritical since very few Christians actually read their own damn book.

REAL CHRISTIANS DON'T NEED CONTRIBUTIONS. Got it? People who want money need contributions. But Christ doesn't need yourn money. Please stop that silly stuff. Got that yet? :D

PM me. YOU want god? I'll give you a fucking reason to WANT one. If you are trying to find a way to evade taxes, then fuck-off. If you are trying to find a way to make your endeavor tax-exempt... Then fuck off. But real religion begins with the understanding that we aren't going to make money off the poor. So what kind of Christian ARE you?

heh.i loved the way of the master vs rational response debate,kirk cameron just looks at comfort with a"god i would like to blow you" look in his eyes most of the time.if those two ever got caught in a bathroom stall somewhere in a less then dignified position i would have to throw a party.

This is one of the best vids you have done so far.Not enough people understand the basics of science,or even why science "works".Awesome job of putting it in little words they can understand.And"special man friend" is the funniest thing I've heard in months.

LOL, "special man friend". Those two are suspiciously close, aren't they? LOL, great point - scientists acknowledge uncertainty, therefore they are being honest in their world view. Anyone claiming to know absolute "truth" is either a charlatan, fool, or both.
