How to be a good Creationist - In 5 easy steps

Again the 180 degree spin hard core religionists put on arrogance stands out. Just as with faith they simply brashly declare this the opposite of what it is and the weight of friendly affirmation is sufficient to “convince” them of it’s veracity.

Simply put ... they don’t think so good when it comes to matters of faith.

Thanks Byron. I’m having trouble remembering all 5 steps. I’ll just memorize: Goddidit.

Goddidit.

At one point she actually said “goddonedidit”... with a thumbs up… with that Euro accent.

I think I’m in love.

Saying “goddonit” for lack of a natural explanation is a god-of-the-gaps argument. Therefore, God can’t have created showflakes, becasaue we know how showflakes are created. If you believe God controls everything, even snowflakes and evolution, then it’s a different story.

...it has to put into the equation: the possibility that there is no God and nothing works for the best. I don’t necessarily subscribe to that view, but I don’t know what I do subscribe to. Why do I have to have a world view? I mean, when I wrote Cujo, I wasn’t even old enough to be president. Maybe when I’m frty or forty-five, but I don’t now. I’m just trying on all these hats.
