McCain To Deliver Keynote Speech For Creationists

[DuaneBidoux]

Today is Darwin Day, commemorating the anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth and of the publishing of On the Origin of Species. The National Academy of Sciences, “the nation’s most prestigious scientific organization,” declares evolution “one of the strongest and most useful scientific theories we have.” President Bush’s science adviser John Marburger calls it “the cornerstone of modern biology.”

1. A direct slap in the face of the evolutionists!

McCain is a shitbag.

[calimary]

5. What did somebody here call him? "Weathervane mccain"? LOL

"Weathervane mccain" and his "Flip-Flop Express"! There he goes again...

[redqueen]

9. hahahahaha... that's good!

Thanks for sharing it!

[calimary]

10. I did NOT think this one up.

But I just loved it when I saw it. Sure pegs him.

AHA!!! Found it! It was a post by ms liberty in this thread here:

I think it's a great one. Now on the other hand, "Coalition of the Wilting" is one I did make up.

[aquart]

12. "Coalition of the Wilting" is excellently snide. Well done.

[calimary]

15. Thanks!

And wilting, they are. I'd just like to know who the hell thought up "Coalition of the Willing." THE WILLING????????? What kind of phony-ass, pompous, condescending, bodice-ripper shit is THAT???? What the hell did they think they were trying to do here, wax poetic or something??? "Coalition of the Willing." JEEEEEEEEEZ. My ass. That sound you hear is roundly embarrassed junior high school English Lit teachers across the country smacking themselves in the head or sticking their fingers down their throats. Yeah, "willing," alright. As one might well be if one had a gun pointed at one's head - or maybe a really hefty bribe dangled just beyond one's fingertips.

13. I like John McPander

But all these are funny and right on

[redqueen]

2. Amazing how low he's sunk... and how quickly.

Are there really that many people in that crowd, to make it worthwhile to pander to them this way?

[asjr]

4. I am going to start calling him

The RIGHT Rev. John McCain, pastor of the Church of I'll say anything to get elected.

[no_hypocrisy]

3. Another Faust at large. n/t

[LibertyorDeath]

6. Creationists gawd don't get me started

I have a friend who believes this fairy tale magical thinking garbage.

Thing is he seems "Normal" in every other way until you get on to this topic

then it's Twilight Zone time....

I think it fills some sort of emotional need for people to believe
this faith based story, they can't reconcile HARD SCIENCE
with their faith so they chose to believe an irrational fairy tale instead.

it's pretty fucking scary... IMO

Some Fun.......

New Evidence Suggests Noah's Sons Rode Flying Dinosaurs



CREATION SCIENCE BREAKING NEWS

For years, Creation Scientists have disputed how Noah was able to quickly collect millions of indigenous animals from remote, inaccessible regions of the world for a 40-day ride in his ark. New evidence from an archaeological find in China supports the long held Christian belief that Noah's sons rode giant flying dinosaurs to transport duck billed platypuses from Australia, and penguins and polar bears from the Antarctic, to name a few. "Those must have been some mighty big flying dinosaurs," says Pastor Deacon Fred. "Imagine the look on Noah's face when his sons flew in for a landing with a pair of Hippos strapped to the back of one of them things! Glory to God!"

Dr. Edwards explains that it would have been impossible for Noah's sons to travel to the four corners of the earth to areas that were previously inaccessible on foot. "Noah and his sons had to collect two of every single creature on the face of the planet," he says. "We're talking about a big haul here. At first we just attributed it to what Creation Scientists call, the Holy Finger Snapping Theory. That's where God snaps his fingers and just makes it so." Edwards points out that Creation Scientists are still unanimous in attributing the fact that Noah was able to load 100 million plus animals onto a 450 foot ark "in the selfsame day" (Genesis 7:13-14) to the Finger Snapping Theory. In the case of how the animals were collected from remote regions of the world in the first place however, recent archaeological finds indicate that Noah's sons were able to tame giant flying dinosaurs and in turn, load them up with food supplies and hitch rides for long trips around the world to China, South America, Australia, Greenland, and the North Pole.

Creation Scientists estimate that since the Earth is only ten-thousand years old, human beings were living among dinosaurs and had plenty of time to tame them. "I would have loved to have been around to see Cain and Abel rolling around in the grass outside the Garden of Eden playing with the pet raptors their father, Adam, gave them for their birthdays," says Pastor Deacon Fred. "What a glorious time that must have been!"

14. You do know that is a spoof site, right? {nt}

[SemperEadem]

19. sometimes I want to say to them

flunked science, eh?

[LibDemAlways]

7. McCain will say and do anything to

get the rw nutjob primary vote. I hope someone at the DNC is paying attention because should he get the nomination, there's already a boatload of flip-flop shit to use against him.

[tabasco]

8. McCain hooked his cart to the wrong horse.

Fundie psycho crazies and their brownshirt allies gave us GW Bush and Americans have said "ENOUGH!"

[Solly Mack]

11. and will he tell how his ancestors frolicked with dinosaurs?

[Drifter]

16. Is John going for the ...

bat-shit crazy demographic ?

17. Weather Vane McLame.

You don't need a Weatherman to know which way McLame blows.

[killbotfactory]

18. What a maverick!

:eyes:

20. I posted this and to move it out of Latest Breaking News to Discussion is BS!

This is worth a hell of a lot more than a backwater (pardon me) forum. This shit should hit the MSM and it has one hell of a lot to do with the future of American politics and Science and its interaction and our competiveness on the world stage.

To believe otherwise (as apparently this moderator does) is, how shall we say, stupid.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

21. Damn.

I was hoping he'd get nominated, and THEN give a speech for Creationists.

This will be the undoing of him.
