Are atheists bitterly clinging to their outdated public school textbooks on evolution?

Question

Do the bitter venomous rants of Richard Dawkins quell them to sleep at night?

Answer 1

Yes, atheism has a twin sister known as evolution, and evolution IS as outdated as the flat earth theory. I believe that the REASON so many still cling to it is that it has become a religion.



By denying the existence of a Holy God, atheists/evolutionists escape ACCOUNTABLITY to Him; if only for this short life. Thus, abortion, promiscuity, homosexual marriage, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, and a whole Pandora's box of ill-conceived moral ideas all become RELATIVE, and nothing is really WRONG, because sin doesn't exist.



Atheism/evolution flies in the face of sound science and Biblical morality, but like all religious cults, they are NOT open to any teaching or evidence that contradicts theirs. For example, the age of the earth has been scientifically proven to be in line with the Bible, but as the man in this video states, you have to be willing to listen: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5725394906886443944



Richard Dawkins is the New Archie Bunker, and he is the epitome of Bigot. The saddest thing about Mr. Dawkins is the number of people he is taking to Hell with him.

Answer 2

Fundies are notorious for falling for every trend in the book. Being born again, WWJD, fish on the bumper, and the latest trend is creationism. Wisdom isn't something that gets outdated. Scientific fact gets updated. A trend, my friend, now that's what gets outdated. A trend is the lemming's answer to everything. Avoid sheep mentality. Quit believing what every buffoon behind the pulpit preaches at you. Think for yourself. It really isn't hard to do. Bitter? Do you get bitter watching cartoons?

Answer 3

I went to a very good public school, one of the best in the country. It was also a very religious public school, as it was set in a small town that was 99% Christian (several denominations). I was a strong Christian all through public school, and into my 20s.



I have never read anything by Dawkins. I don't base my beliefs on what other people believe and say. I can think for myself.

Answer 4

This is real dumb but God is living as all atheists know. No fight here. But really is Darwin/Richard Dawkins living? Ask them to show up. And cutie have a good day anyway.

Answer 5

Not just atheists, a good majority of the Christians that aren't fundamentalists really.



Evolution does not contradict Christian beliefs at all unless the person believes EVERYTHING in the bible is to be taken literally.



Although I am not Christian (I am personally agnostic, leaning towards atheism) I have known devout Christians that believe in the theory of evolution. It is possible for that belief to coexist with the belief in God. Maybe God, if he exists, designed living organisms with the capacity (I shouldn't say ability evolution is not consciously directed) ... to mutate and change over time to better survive the environment. maybe we were not meant to stay static and constant, but maybe life was endowed with many tools to survive, and evolution would be one of them.



To sum it up, belief in the theory of evolution does not necessarily indicate a disbelief in God or Jesus or the Gospel.

Answer 6

Ha ha very funny question. When you can scientifically prove creationism maybe i'll pick up the bible and throw evolution out the window, until then i'd rather read the origin of species by darwin.

Answer 7

Our book's are outdated? Last time I checked, your book is about 2000 years old and serves no purpose anymore except to provide comfort to fundies and provide a good laugh for us atheists.

Answer 8

So when are you planning to publish your findings? Seriously there is a Nobel prize waiting for you, if you're right and have evidence to support your claims.



I suggest going back to high school and trying to learn something this time.

Answer 9

You appear to be a troll, but just in case:



Don't you think your book is more outdated than any textbook?

Answer 10

No the intriguing journals of Charles Darwin keep me entertained while I'm awaiting my slumber. You ask a stupid question I give a stupid answer. People need to stop attempting to bash other peoples beliefs, your question has no real point behind it but to insult atheists.

Answer 11

Nope... I am fighting for the updated textbooks...



Unfortunately for the last several years we have had a creationist president who was bent on throwing our childrens future away by spending billions on war instead of education....



Hopefully that will change under the new administration....

Answer 12

Probably but at least it's only 50 years out of date, not 1500+.

Answer 13

Well, you're still clinging to a book that was written more than 2000 years ago.



We win.

Answer 14

Yes, we are grasping, bitterly clinging, trying to scrape together whatever we have left. The hospitals, universities, and laboratories are crumbling. Our only solace is listening to Richard Dawkins pre-recorded tapes while we sleep.

Answer 15

yeah, but let them.



everyone needs to believe in something.



even little kids want to keep believing in santa and easter rabbits and the like. when they are ready to discuss things calmly, they will let you know. but, no sense irritating them. that just pushes them farther away from logic and common sense.



adios from the beach



gramps

Answer 16

Oh yeah, can't WAIT until Texas starts teaching Creation "Science".



As we watch our youth sink below 3rd World countries in science test scores.



(Btw, I believe the word you were grasping so futilely for was "lull...")

Answer 17

Keep it up, troll. At least they're not as outdated as your mythological textbook

Answer 18

Don't you ever just give up?



And I've never even read a book by Richard Dawkins.

Answer 19

as if your big f***ing book is not outdated. come the f**k on. it is old and full of contradictions. and you guys say to take it literally, yet you pick and choose what to follow.

Answer 20

No they really don't treat them like the bible .Is your question a bit of a freudian projection I wonder?

Answer 21

"Oh right... And a 2000 year old book written by people with iron age beliefs isn't outdated.



Stupidity is not a good trait my friend."



that just says it all ; )

Answer 22

if the text books are outdated what is the bible considered LOL

Answer 23

did you really have the nerve to say 'outdated'

Answer 24

Really is that all you can come up with? I am sure he Christians are proud of you.

Answer 25

most fundies are too dumb to know who richard dawkins is.

Answer 26

I call troll. Real fundies can't spell atheist and would never make it plural.



You can't really satirize the religious.

Answer 27

We're not clinging to anything, in particular, christian mythology....

Answer 28

If the government stopped spending so much money on religion perhaps we could afford some new textbooks on evolution.

Answer 29

I sleep better grounded in reality than I do in a fear-induced stupor of religious dogma.



Oh, and thanks for asking.

Answer 30

Oh right... And a 2000 year old book written by people with iron age beliefs isn't outdated.



Stupidity is not a good trait my friend.

Answer 31

oh the irony...





forget the award for tonight,



this might be the pot meets kettle award for the year.

Answer 32

Why dont you leave the athiests alone? They get so attacked in this section.

Answer 33

Lame question, obvious troll is obvious.

Answer 34

No, i'm Simply fascinated by the CURRENT science articles, published by scientists who know what they are doing and are continuing to prove evolution day by day.

Answer 35

oh stop playing the victim! we're sick of it!



I don't think it's fair to generalize that much,



Get over it...

Answer 36

What?

Answer 37

Yes they are. Poor kids are missing out on a real education

Answer 38

Yes. Yes they do.

Answer 39

how someone could believe in evolution is beyond me

Answer 40

yes, they are waiting for the textbooks to evolve to updated versions...

Answer 41

OUTDATED? Your book is older than my book.

Answer 42

Keep trying. Actual fundies don't spell that well.

Answer 43

No.

Answer 44

LOL thanks for the laugh.

Answer 45

Great question....
