Opiate of the masses? I wish, opiates mellow people out, no one is going to run an inquisition or blow themselves up if they've got a dragon to catch. No theism does what the cheaper drugs do; make people really weird, boring and or annoying unless, sometimes, you're on the same altered wavelength.
With that in mind:
Providing Proof that Darwin Existed
(Watch how atheists avoid answering this--there's good reason for their silence. They don't know how to intelligently respond to it, without digging themselves into a deep hole).
I have to admit there really is no intelligent response to what follows so I am the perfect blogger for the job.
Mudley replied: "How about I take you to his tomb? If you really wanted to make a stink, you could probably convince someone to open it so that you could examine the corpse."
Yeah, he starts off his post that way, it's not really clear but he's talking like he's a detective proving or disapproving Darwin ever existed... or something, I think, it's kinda muddled as most drug induced thinking tends to be.
Sorry, there’s no "corpse." After around 120 years of decomposition, all you will have is skeletal remains.
"You could also compare the DNA of the corpse to the DNA of his descendants, and to the DNA of the hair which was taken from his desk, which you had mentioned in a previous post."
That would just prove that it’s the same man whose hair was on the desk. I want proof before I will believe as you do. Also, how do you know that those who claim to be his descendents are actually his offspring, without having faith in genealogical records?
So man like if you've never been to France how do you know it's there?!!? DID I BLOW YOUR MIND!?!?
Um no but you are bogarting that, pass it on please.
"There are also photographs of him, and books and papers published in his name."
We have photographs of a man who people maintain was Charles Darwin. Do you have any eye-witnesses who knew him, and can testify that those pictures are authentic?
Yes.
How do you know who wrote the books and papers?
Um their names are on them?
A name on a book proves nothing.
Oh.
I see.
Um nothing? Really?
"He is also mentioned in records such as the ship roster of the HMS Beagle."
Who wrote the records?
The captain of the ship? The British Navy?
How can you have faith in a man you don’t know, who wrote records in a roster 177 years ago?
Because one is in fact challenging the HMS Beagle's records because there is nothing in those records or in their context that would suggest we should take them for anything more or less than as they appear.
And how can you be sure that they haven’t been altered down through the years?
Because we have the originals documents from multiple sources and again there would be no motivation to do so.
It’s healthy to be a skeptic who refuses to have a blind faith in the documents of men, because that’s all you have.
Basically what he seems to be saying here is that nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
See what I mean? Soon he'll be examining his hands and talking about seeing Jesus in the fingerprints.
At least junkies come down out of their high once in awhile and understand the difference in their states, theism's buzz is never ending.
Oh Huey they already had your new drug and you didn't know it, tragic.
Unlike you taking me to the tomb of Charles Darwin, I can’t take you to the tomb of Jesus because He didn’t have one.
Hmmm an afternoon with Ray "Gay Bananas" Comfort hanging out at the grave of Charles Darwin.
Yes, yes I believe I would do that, if you ever read this Ray let's do it, we will stand over Darwin's final resting spot and you can explain to me how he never existed or Jesus existed because you can't prove that people existed or whatever crazy ass shit you're trying to make sense out of. For my part I will stand there in quiet contemplation and humble gratitude to Darwin for expanding the sphere of human knowledge thus curbing ignorance and leaving us that many less Ray Comforts to suffer.
But 2,000 years after His death and resurrection, I can introduce you to Him.
I suspect you would introduce me to Jesus in the same manner I would introduce you to my pooka pal Harvey.
There’s my empirical proof.
And the three of us would most likely agree that you don't know what the fuck "empirical proof" means.
Read more than one book Ray, that's what I'm trying to tell you.
If you fulfill the conditions for the introduction (humility, repentance, and trust), you will stand with your mouth open in unbelief at how He will transform you overnight.
Yeah, so will a hit of peyote in the desert that manifests the ghost of Jim Morrison telling that "This shit is hack man, everyone wants my ghost in the desert... dude, listen, I died like a broken old man in a bathtub in France, my talent spent, brain fried, forty pounds overweight and smelling like cheese left in a septic tank, how much fucking cosmic insight and mind expansion do you think I have for you? Next trip bring back Frank Sinatra, now that cat knew how to live a life."
Mia Farrow marrying aside I'm sure Jim meant to add.
