15 thoughts on “Shock! Pat Robertson Disses Creationism”
the bible doesn’t indicate when the earth was created only the stages life was created on it, and it only mentions kinds it doesn’t say how long a day is either, moses wrote about this in psalms 90. it doesn’t define the day or what kinds were there, just each according to its kind, kinds are not species, but a general description that can have a wide range of variations. it also shows how the creative days progressed and even calls all the creative days together as a day. so to learn the bible you must understand the dictionary or language of it. Jehovahs thoughts are higher then our thoughts his ways then ours he told the isrealites in isiaiah 55:8 I believe. at least this guy was willing to acknowledge that maybe they do not understand the bible fully. it is a learning process, even the bible says the light gets brighter and brighter until the dawn ascends in proverbs, 4:18, so knowledge takes time to learn and connect the dots and get all the pieces of the puzzle together to see the picture fully. I do question the dating of when dinos lived however since I just read in the Smithsonian earth book that any time past 50,000 years is not accurate (paraphrasing it) they have no way to know past 50,000 years how old the fossils really are. it is nice they admit it.I do appreciate an honest scientist.
The Bible is not a science book and not everyone believes it is the inerrant word of God. I appreciate “honest” scientists too. Just as I do people who don’t bend scientific facts to fit their religious belief systems.
Wow! Common sense! That is truly amazing. Perhaps there is a bit of hope for the world after all. If this guy can speak to the religious right and tell them that evolution and religion are not mutually exclusive, it may result in there being some common ground on other contentious issues. Thanks for sharing this. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it.
These are crazy times, indeed! i saw this link in my facebook feed and IMMEDIATELY thought it must be from The Onion! Perhaps the old guard is trying to reclaim the middle ground, and set the tea partying, whack nut, so-called “christians” adrift? i wouldn’t be sorry to see them go off on an ice floe into the perpetually icy cold artic waters (becuase they deny climate change, too).
Ya know, Cornwall, Ontario (pop. 46,000 or so, and our closest “city”) has a creationism museum run by a whackjob pastor. My friend knew someone that worked there all summer while a student. They had NO visitors, which, I think, is a credit to Cornwall!!

I’m with you on this one about Pat (who’d a think it?) except I remain an atheist. Hey! Nice new design of the site!

He’s still a doddering old fool, but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Or something…
Glad you like the redecorating!

I’m a doddering middle age fool having just noticed my typo; meant to write “thunk” instead of “think”.
You did a nice job redecorating. It still looks like you but refreshed.

Yeah, I think we’d better check and see if hell hasn’t frozen over or if there are a lot of pigs flying around.

I’m afraid the perpetually cold arctic waters aren’t going to be so cold anymore if the climate change deniers continue to have their way. 😦
