My topic of choice for the evening is Ben Stein. He has said some incredibly stupid shit and he came out with a documentary called "Expelled - No Intelligence Allowed" - blaming the Holocaust on Darwinism.
www.expelledexposed.com is what the National Center for Science Education's answer is. Go there, and learn some stuff.
Quotes from Ben Stein while promoting this movie include:
"When we just saw that man, I think it was Mr. Myers [i.e. biologist P.Z. Myers], talking about how great scientists were, I was thinking to myself the last time any of my relatives saw scientists telling them what to do they were telling them to go to the showers to get gassed … that was horrifying beyond words, and that’s where science — in my opinion, this is just an opinion — that’s where science leads you," - Ben Stein
"Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place. Science leads you to killing people." - Ben Stein

An example:
Quote:
Babies are not made from DNA. Rather, when a man has intercourse with a woman, his seed enters her and resides within her uterus. The cells then begin to divide and mutate into embryonic stem cellls which then go on to create a fetus (assuming that God wishes that a child be born).
How else do you think that those women noted in the Bible--Sarai, Rebekah, etc.--all had children despite being barren? Simple: the LORD decided that they would have a child. Since they could not produce ova, it stands to reason that sperm was what was used to create the child. (And is it any wonder that these women had SONS? The reason is simple: the sperm contains the Y chromosome, proving my point.)
Quote:
No, everyone is born Christian. Only later in life do people choose to stray from Jesus and worship satan instead. Atheists have the greatest "cover" of all, they insist they believe in no god yet most polls done and the latest research indicates that they are actually a different sect of Muslims.
Priceless:
Quote:
[One Christian speaking to another]
You are banned. You are not a Christian for Christians don't accuse brothers and sisters in Christ of being non-Christian.
Quote:
The other day while installing some new fiber optics cables for a satellite array I overheard some coworkers talking about quarks. Quarks are supposedly tiny particles that nobody can see and nobody has any use for. So why do we know about them? What good does it possibly do us to know what a quark is? Just another example of useless science, and wasted money on the so called research needed for this great discovery.
I seriously have to wornder about people who spend their free time thinking about things like quarks or quasars. There are more important things to do.
As far as I am concerned if an answer to a question isn't in the bible, then the you have no business asking the question. A few years ago when my wife suddenly had to get an emergency c-section I was scared. But I didnt turn to any book about quarks. Luckily I had my palm pilot with me, which just happened to have the entire King James bible on it! I read a few passages that gave me the strength to pray for her and the baby to get through this ordeal. I sure didn't need any useless trivia books about quarks to find comfort in.
I have very little use for science. In fact it is in impediment to getting close to God.
[Someone points out the obvious fact that c-sections and computers are a benefit of science.]
You are confusing TECHNOLOGY with SCIENCE.
Technology and science are often lumped together, but are totally separate and unrelated things.
Technology makes peoples lives easier. Technology is the product of inventive geniuses who were inspired by God. Inventions and innovations improve life.
Science causes confustion and makes things complicated. Everytime there is a new discovery the old discoveries and old wisdom are discarded! And theories get more and more complex. Science makes people confused and complicates things. Who is the author of confusion? Satan of course. The bible it the opposite of science. Biblical wisdom NEVER CHANGES, and anyone can get it. Scientific wisdom is always changing and contradicting itself, and really nobody gets it.
Please don't insult our intelligence by lumping science and technology together. They are as different at night and day.
No lie.
And to conclude, a guy has sex with a picnic table.
