1) Life is so simple that it can happen by accident.

A lot of weird accidents can happen in a few billion years.

kmcguire, granting billions or even trillions of years for the process to occur doesn’t change the fact that it happened by accident.

And if the secret of life were so simple that it could happen by accident, man would have discovered the process centuries ago.

because scientists got a few wrong.

The understatement of this century. And they haven’t “got a few wrong”, they lied and completely fabricated evidence.

There’s a reason people doubt evolution. They’ve been repeatedly lied to.

It also amazes me that a lot of people are making fools out of themselves on this blog by claiming that South Park is “mocking” evolution. They’re not mocking evolution. They’re mocking YOU.

Please, watch the whole episode. They’re mocking both sides, as usual. They’re mocking those who rely on evolution with such an ardent faith as to have it replace any religion, and they’re mocking those who cover their ears when science presents anything that might possibly conflict with their preconceived ideas.

I’m a conservative and I absolutely believe in evolution. There’s nothing incompatible about evolution and Christ.

Believe it or not, this is what most conservatives believe. Christians have no stake in proving that evolution is wrong, because it means nothing to us. Darwinians on the other hand, must fabricate evidence as a vain attempt to prove God does not exist.

Yes, and Hitler was also a Catholic. Does that make Catholics Nazis? Hitler was also a vegetarian. How about them?

Did Hitler try and plan his “superior” race because of something his priest told him at mass, or to make a race of white people who are all vegetarians?

From what I recall, he was trying to make a superior race to push forward evolution. That means something.

Yes, and Hitler was also a Catholic. Does that make Catholics Nazis? Hitler was also a vegetarian. How about them?

That’s the most juvenile argument I’ve ever heard. Evolution is largely the best theory put forth thus far that can prove humanity’s origins, and if you’re going to refute, don’t rely on tactics that are largely a joke with most intelligent people who can debate these subjects, i.e. “Hurr evolution is bad because some guy who believed in it killed a lot of people.”

I’m a conservative and I absolutely believe in evolution. There’s nothing incompatible about evolution and Christ. Most creationist materials I’ve read rely on strawman arguments and ridiculous personal attacks against the motives of evolutionary proponents, and also needlessly attack discredited hominid remains, as though because a skeleton turns out not to be that of a hominid therefore every skeleton ever dug up from this time forward will NEVER be a hominid because scientists got a few wrong.

Very funny stuff. Ace thinks Mrs. Garrison’s explanation of the theory of evolution as a “retarded fish-frog that had butt-sex with a squirrel or somethin’” is the funniest two minutes of South Park ever. And he might just be right……

Also, virtually every mass murderer the planet has ever seen has been a fan of Darwin. From Hitler, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin right back to the biggest – Mao Zedong.

Exactly. Hitler was trying to force evolution. And if all we are is animals, it’s hard to make the argument that what he did was wrong.

In fact, it’s hard to make the argument that any murder is wrong seeing as it simply weeds out the “less fit”. People often try and use the “animals do it too” argument for homosexuality, but again, if we did everything animals did, we would have no use of any laws whatsoever.

Maybe there is an argument for normalizing homosexuality, but the animal kingdom one is not it.

So instead of saying “Oh my God” when crying out in desperation, these future people say “Oh science”. If you don’t trust in God, then you’re still trusting in something. No one should be so condescending as to assume they are free of this to the point of mocking those who admit their faith.

It doesn’t seem like many are coming back to this post anymore, but I just want to add that once you’ve endorsed evolution, we’re just animals and we shouldn’t be governed by “laws”. We should be able to kill and rape with impunity, until someone bigger kills us, right? Hey, we’re just animals, I don’t have to obey your laws.

Also, virtually every mass murderer the planet has ever seen has been a fan of Darwin. From Hitler, Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin right back to the biggest – Mao Zedong.

I strongly suggest you ask your favorite Darwinist. It is they who has to continually spin science to try to force it in to their fairytale, while the Biblical creation story remains the same.

Good point.

Only a few months ago, scientists didn’t know what they were going to do with the planet Pluto. So they took a vote! How’s that for scientific research?

In fact, aparently this was done at the end of a long convention when only a small portion of the scientists who had travelled there were still in attendence.

There were a few upset scientists who weren’t even able to vote.

To say that it happened by itself thru millions of years of evolving (or monkey buttsex) requires giant leaps of faith.

And let’s face it, many very specific things had to happen in evolution just for something as simple as the evolution of the eye.

And to fit the test of Darwin, all of these things had to not only aid to the survival of the species but also be able to attract a mate. So while yes, a person with six fingers would have an advantage, would they also be considered attractive by our standards, or would they just be a virgin freak?

Last, for any who have seen this entire episode, it goes one further to show a world without any religion. Apparently Garrison (the teacher) gets involved with a man who is an atheist and helps eradicate religion.

So instead of saying “Oh my God” when crying out in desperation, these future people say “Oh science”. If you don’t trust in God, then you’re still trusting in something. No one should be so condescending as to assume they are free of this to the point of mocking those who admit their faith.

Why are people so afraid of science, they will believe anything anyone tells them. You will take a book, written 1500+ years ago by… who knows… over scientific evidence?! Over reason?!

Yeah, I’ll follow Darwinism off a cliff as soon as the libtards start applying it to the global environment.

Sure, they believe in evolution, up until the earth’s atmosphere starts evolving due to things like methane bubbling up from plankton rotting at the bottom of the ocean, carbon from natural forest fires, sulfurous gases and PM10 (tiny rock particles) spewed naturally from volcanoes and leaked continously from active calderas like the one in Yellowstone, then they want to start playing God by trying to alter it all and having the hubris to believe that we actually are the major factor. Talk about bullshit.
We can’t even get a weather pattern right! HOW many deadly hurricanes did they predict Bush would conjure up to kill poor people this year?
And after they forced the water-poisoning MTBE into the gas here in CA-which most scientist KNEW was a lame thing to do, the environMENTALists have no scientific standing in my mind.

Einstein believed in God- the more advanced scientific research you conduct, the more sure you are that one dude couldn’t have wrapped it all up in a neat little package called evolution.

And Christoph has a point regarding copyrighting. The fascist leftists would love to torpedo South Park right out of existence by posting the episodes online, so as to avoid any ratings hike Comedy Central might receive during their time slot.

Why are people so afraid of science…..

I strongly suggest you ask your favorite Darwinist. It is they who has to continually spin science to try to force it in to their fairytale, while the Biblical creation story remains the same. This is the most perfect tiny example, but this happens on a daily basis lately – soft tissue was discovered (by mistake) intact in a T-Rex bone that “science” claimed was 70 million years old. The age of the bone was based on evolutionary time, and “science” never considered revising it, despite the fact that thought tissue wasn’t thought to be able to survive past a couple thousand years. Instead of saying “Shit! How could this soft tissue have survived in tact for 70 million years?” and let the evidence lead them where it may, they said “wow, soft tissue can last 70 million years!”

Again, that’s a tiny example that is easy to explain without writing an entire report for you here, but this is constantly happening. They continue to discover that evolutionary “left-overs” in DNA, etc. are not “junk”, but necessary. So many things are irreducably complex. Evidence in the active solar system continues to roll in as our capabilities grow, that would lead us to believe that the solar system was far younger. The problem is, “science” is so obsessed with the evolutionary timeline, that instead of taking the evidence for what it is, they instead have to figure a way to twist findings to fit their preconceived story.

Again, make this a daily reader. They constantly document and link to stories from all the top science publications and disect them. I particularly enjoy when the stories are on the insane complexity of things and don’t dare attempt to explain how they evolved. Or one similar articles when the member of the Church of Darwin say “prove it must have evolved much quicker”, etc. without actually having any science proving anything evolved… Instead the finding flies in the face of ToE, and these people are so brainwashed that they can’t help but throw in an obligatory comment on evolution where it totally doesn’t belong.

I think there is a Divine Watchmaker…a first cause….and He’s pissed.

Why are people so afraid of science, they will believe anything anyone tells them. You will take a book, written 1500+ years ago by… who knows… over scientific evidence?! Over reason?!

Who ever said I was afraid of science? It happens to be my understanding of modern science that gives me CAUSE to doubt the theory of evolution. The more we learn about DNA and cell division and atoms and (the list goes on), you find more scientific evidence that someone or something with extremely high intelligence is behind the scenes. To say that it happened by itself thru millions of years of evolving (or monkey buttsex) requires giant leaps of faith. Why should anyone put all of their trust in the almighty scientist who is also a mere human? Only a few months ago, scientists didn’t know what they were going to do with the planet Pluto. So they took a vote! How’s that for scientific research? It just so happens that there is another scientific theory that’s been abandoned by the scientists and they themselves now agree with the Biblical account. The theory that they abandoned over 500 years ago was the theory of a flat earth. During those days, there were people like me who just couldn’t accept that theory no matter how boldly the scientists demanded it was accurate.

If your god wants us to worship him through our own free will, why does he threaten us with Hell? If you have someone threatening you with a punishment, it isn’t free will.

So that means that since we have jails, fines and even capital punishment that Americans do not have free will when it comes to committing a crime?

free will 
1. free and independent choice; voluntary decision: You took on the responsibility of your own free will.
2. Philosophy. the doctrine that the conduct of human beings expresses personal choice and is not simply determined by physical or divine forces.

Yeah, the dictionary seems to disagree with you on that one. Free will does not mean there will be no consequences for your actions. It only means that you are willing to accept whatever those consequences may be.

And even though you’re question is off just by definition, I’ll go one further. It isn’t a threat for God to speak of hell. It is a warning.

See, it’s not a threat if I were to tell my child (my hypothetical child) that if he/she drinks poison, he/she will die. It’s me simply educating my child on the consequences of drinking poison.

But you’re coming at this question with a misunderstanding of what hell is, so I understand why you believe it is a threat.

Hell is not where God sends people. Hell is the only place where an individual can be complete devoid of God. Hell is literally nothing more than the complete absense of God.

And, if a person decides he/she does not want to worship God (He’s not “my” God by the way, I do not own Him), then it is the only place that person can be. People go to Hell because they do not wish to go where God is.

Hell is the ultimate proof of God’s grant of free will. Hell is the ultimate place where God finally says, “you don’t want Me, then fine, I’ll leave you alone.”

That is my honest answer.

I have no problem with these questions.

If your god wants us to worship him through our own free will, why does he threaten us with Hell? If you have someone threatening you with a punishment, it isn’t free will.

And really, “all [we] we do is agree on this website”??? So now you’re proving you are not only ignorant of “the whole church” but also of the comments at this site as well.

Please, just read through a few of these comments. It shouldn’t take you long to find an argument. If you need some help, I disctinctly remember all of the comment sections about stem-cell research getting fairly heated.

Of course I’m saying this assuming you actually care about facts, an assumption I doubt is all that grounded in reality.

Laugh. Out. Loud.”and the retard baby was different, so it got to live…”…

So, Darwin’s theory of evolution is more blind faith then a book written by “man”.

And what’s this supposed to mean? Darwin was also a man (not even a heavily scientific man).

Technically the only difference between the bible and Bram Stoker’s Dracula is Bram Stoker and his editor are the only people who authored the book. The Bible has been altered a million times

And there are also relatively unaltered copies that many people translate from when authoring new versions. It’s not as though everyone got the King James version and decided to clean it up. We still have texts in the Greek and Hebrew the two Testiments were written in to use.

plus the fact that it’s literally a collection of books written by people just like you or I.

And what, it’s possible to believe that God exists but impossible to believe He is able to ensure that His word is sent to His people with its original intent without writing the book Himself?

That’s pretty weak for any god.

Is the Bible more political then religious? The Whole Church, (and I don’t care which denomination) is more political then religious.

Then you do not seem to know a lot about “the whole church”.

1. There is no such thing. There are practically hundreds of denominations.

2. By even liberal estimates, “church-goers” are about 40-60 when it comes to voting and aside from about four ministers, how many Reverends do you know clammoring for political power?

3. If Christians could agree on these things, they wouldn’t constantly bicker amoung themselves like bratty siblings. If Christians could agree on anything, we wouldn’t have as many denominations as we already do.

But I forget, you’re not actually writing against religion here. You just think we’re all zealots if we don’t buy into evolution.

Naaah! That’s how we ended-up with John Kerry.
