'Fraid not. Craig Send a noteboard - 14/09/2009 11:24:00 PM
It's a shittily written article.

* Space

Objects in space, which are more than 8,000 light years away, can be seen from earth.

This is under the category "Arguments to support evolution." What the bloody blue blazes does that have to do with anything?

Maybe this is a joke newspaper in the UK - I'm not familiar with it, I just recognize the name. But this is shoddy "journalism," about something that's already a hot-button topic.

Now if you really want me to "refute any of the claims made by creationist outside of [my] semantics issue," I could go to town. But really I thought the whole article was stupid, but didn't feel like spending too much time on it, so I made one pithy comment and moved on. ~shrug~
I am made of poison.

The author used the phrase "proven theories." Ergo, their argument is invalid. *NM* Craig - 14/09/2009 01:11:51 AM 411 Views
