Stupid Creationist Arguments 18: Bigger, Better, Smarter, Stronger

| January 4th, 2010

We started off like an ameba and we’re getting bigger and better and stronger and smarter -Kent Hovind (click "Creation Seminars" then click "Seminar Part 1 - The Age of the Earth", its at about 5:40) Warning: Massive amounts of burning stupid! Um... Nnoooo. The theory of evolution states that animals adapt to there environment [...]

Stupid Creationist Arguments 17: But Its Still An “X”

| January 4th, 2010

This is a stupid argument you get when you point out that evolution has been witnessed, that we have many examples of evolution in action. If you gave example of evolution like transplanted Italian wall lizards evolving cecal valves, speciation in a ring species like Ensatina salamanders, Flavobacterium evolving the ability to metabolize Nylon-6 or [...]

Stupid Creationist Arguments 16: Infomation

| January 2nd, 2010

There are 2 stupid arguments when it comes to information. 1. Mutations can not increase information. This is completely false. We know how information can be added to DNA: gene duplication and mutation. 2. The genetic code contains information. This information could not assemble it self. First of all information isn't a thing, it's a [...]

Stupid Creationist Arguments 12: Nature Tends Towards Disorder

| December 27th, 2009

This stupid argument comes from two misconceptions, both of which I've dealt with before (Evolution part 4: Thermodynamics and Order From Disorder) but it wouldn't be much of a post if I just posted links so I'll have to deal with them again. This stupid arguments deals with the second law of thermodynamics. The second [...]

Stupid Creationist Arguments 11: Hovinds 6 Types of Evolutions

| December 27th, 2009

Kent Hovind is a tax dodging creationist lier. If you've never heard of him, just do a Google or (better) a Youtube search for him. One of many of Kent Hovind's bullshit arguments is the 6 types of evolution. I tried to find a video Hovind using the argument but couldn't find one (I didn't [...]

Stupid Creationist Arguments 10: Evolution Leads to Atheism

| December 25th, 2009

Evolution leads to atheism and atheism The first thing wrong with this stupid argument is that its a slippery slope fallacy. Even if it were true, it has no baring on the validity of the theory or fact of evolution. The biggest flaw in the argument is that evolution doesn't lead to atheism. The fact [...]

Stupid Creationist Arguments 9: Accidental Universe

| December 24th, 2009

Look at the world. How could all of that just come about by accident or chance? Accident or chance its the same question. The argument is mostly used against evolution. Its based on the misconception that evolution is just random chance. Its not of course. While random mutations play a big role in evolution its [...]

Stupid Creationist Arguments 7: TAG! You’re it

| December 13th, 2009

The TAG (transcendental argument for the existence of God) attempts to prove the existence of God (yes, that god) by postulating that logic, reason and morality can not exist with out God. The argument is basically "where did that come from? Who decided that?". The argument fails because it assumes that the concepts of logic, [...]

Stupid Creationist Arguments 3: The Fine Tuned Argument

| November 3rd, 2009

The argument is self explanatory. The universe, the earth, blah has been fine tuned fro life. Some take the argument further and say the universe, the earth, blah has been fine tuned for human life. I'll start with the universe: The majority of the universe is empty space. The vast majority of the matter in [...]

Evolution part 4: Thermodynamics

| September 19th, 2008

Creationists claim that evolution violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics. What the second law of thermodynamics? Thermodynamics is the study of the transformation of energy from one form to another (for insistence a steam engine; burning wood turns water into steam which is used to move a piston up and down which then turns a [...]
