Debunking Dangerously Deceitful Dogma
This thread is started as a growth from a previous thread where we got off topic and began a back and forth debate between radically different world views. Any directive which demands slavish devotion and refuses to allow one to think for oneself is dangerous. It's what lets people be convinced by pulpit pounding preachers to strap bombs to themselves and walk into crowded markets or load their favourite guns and use them on doctors who performs abortions. Such dogma is, by its very definition, damaging to the advancement of human consciousness and forces, as a result of its intellectually destructive nature, a return to the dark ages. Although it's not an apology, I am sorry. I'm sorry for anyone who is caught up in such deceptions. I pity them their life of ignorance. They are the intellectually blinded and mutilated victims of the cruelest kind of deceit, that using you brain, that properly observing the wonders of the natural universe and reporting honestly about it, that thinking alone is wrong, is evil. Shame on their abusers.
Creationist arguments are filled only with errors, lies and what is commonly referred to as junk science. They are notions put forward by charlatans, con artists and criminals who claim that all notions demand equal consideration when they clearly don't. Any idea which is merely fanciful imagination and wishful thinking, even when it's incorrectly called a theory (equivocating between the proper scientific meaning of the word and the more common colloquial meaning) is not the same suit as a proper scientifically peer reviewed and substantiated scientific theory. It's not even in the same deck. Creationism leads people so far down the rabbit hole and there is such a long journey back out of the fantasy world fraught, no doubt, with the perils of public scorn from pastors and the condemnation of one's peers that even if one is not too hobbled in the mind to follow the path upward they are likely to be unwilling to make the journey.
Nonetheless, I know that not everyone reading is so hampered. Some are following with genuine interest and honest wonder and it is for their benefit that I supply the pathway in the three video series at the end of this post. There is lots of viewing time there but every question posed whether actually inquisitive or deceitfully rhetorical, all inquiries made to the critical thinkers in that thread about the nature of reality and how we know what we do are encompassed there. Every rebuttal to the magical thinking and false logic is supplied as well. Take your time, but watch them all and all will be answered. All is included and it's easy for everyone. There is no reading necessary, just sit back and soak it in. Any further false challenges can be lead back to the answers supplied therein. If there are any honest questions regarding the content of a specific video those can be answered here, but don't bother asking how we know it to be true any more because it has now been answered. Don't post any links to junk science because it has been completely refuted in the videos posted here. Don't claim that Intelligent Design is a valid concept because it has been effectively refuted in the videos posted here. Don't trouble people with the backward notions put forward by televangelical creationists because it has been completely and effectively refuted in the video series provided and also, you would only be doing the dirty work of the dangerously foolish and the hate monger.
So, it is with a grateful respect for the dazzling intellects of pothole54, AronRa and Thunderf00t that I offer these drams ...
