Creationists Silence Critics with DMCA
Gothmog of A writes "As Richard Dawkins' offcial site reports, an organization called Creation Science Evangelism Ministries has been submitting DMCA copyright requests to YouTube. This has resulted in the Rational Response Squad (RRS) being banned after they protested against videos being taken down and accounts being closed. The RRS videoes attack creationism (AKA intelligent design) and promote the atheist viewpoint. According to the RRS, the copyright requests are without merit since the material in question is covered by fair use or has been declared to be in the public domain. Behind Creation Science Evangelism Ministries is the infamous Kent Hovind (AKA Dr. Dino) who is currently serving jail time for tax evasion."
As a self proclaimed "creationist" you are automatically kicked off the island of rational thinkers. Why even bother asking "why?" Obviously you have failed to exercise any critical thinking skills.
There is *no* rational argument that requires an acceptance of "You have to have faith." Religion, ID and/or creationism is a form of brain cancer akin to the neutron bomb. While it doesn't produce physical destruction, it breaks down the rational ability to evaluate facts and reason.
Do not accept without fact.
Do not believe without reason.
I am an atheist. When you figure out why you DON'T believe in Thor, Oden, Zeus, et. al you will understand why we don't believe in yours. Run along little boy and worship the easter bunny, santa clause, or what ever little nonsense you want, but keep it to yourself.
You do understand that the Confederate Flag stands for the southern states who seceded for wanting to follow the fucking consitution and adhere to the idea of states' rights? It has nothing to do with slavery except when made out to be by political correctness idiots and people like the KKK.
Hi, while this may be "flame bait" and I have no doubt that some may see it as such, but we have to get some scientific perspective.
Anyone who believes in "Intelligent Design" or "Creationism" is a fool. It is absolutely no different than the tooth fairy, Santa Clause, Easter Bunny, Thor, Oden, Zeus, Apollo, Rama, etc. It is all foolish nonsense that falls under fantasy and superstition. Any one who disagrees has to have accepted an irrational concept with no supporting evidence.
Is "science" right? Always, are the generally accepted scientific theories always right? No, but there is a fundamental rational for why we accept them as true. When the facts no longer fit the rational, we change our minds. We do not continue to believe despite the facts.
Evolution is a fact. It has been proved beyond any reasonable doubt. Has the exact process by which our species evolved been discovered? Hell no! We continue to learn more an interesting things about evolution each year. Evolution is the single greatest leap of human understanding over superstition.
"science" is often wrong when we use conjecture as theory, and theory as fact. Alchemy is an example of this. SCIENCE is typically unassailable when facts are documented and experiments confirm the facts.
