If Evolutionists
used
Creationist tactics:
- They'd still be teaching Piltdown Man, 60 years after it was proven as a hoax.
- They'd never have re-examined Nebraska Man, and would be teaching it now.
- They'd write their own interpretation of Genesis, and then point out the holes in it.
- They'd buy (or just make up) bogus theology degrees and discredit religion.
- They'd use snake oil salesman tactics to make their debates more entertaining for audiences.
- The audiences would be biology and paleontology majors bussed in and psyched up beforehand.
- They'd use pseudo science to appeal to the masses.
- They'd demand Christian churches spend equal time teaching a pantheistic tradition, to allow for fair and even consideration among the congregation.
- They'd stop teaching evolution and just attack Creationism.
- They'd misquote Creationist literature to make it seem stupid and contradictory...well, no, actually, they accomplish that NOW, by directly quoting.
- They'd mispele a lot of wrds, AND WRIET WITH CAPLOCKS ALL THE THYME!
- You couldn't get a science degree without signing a statement of evolution.
- Research results would have to match
- You could win half a million dollars by keeping 500,000 animals in an for one year.
- They'd picket ' ' with signs showing which animals weren't from the Jurassic.
- They'd refuse to donate money to museums, and then complain about how their donations were being wasted on misinformation exhibits.
- They'd print little comic books about evolutionary theory and litter them around playgrounds and Sunday School classrooms.
- They'd count all the different religions, even ones with no followers alive today, and say that there are hundreds of competing theories on Creation, Salvation and the Afterlife, as if that would discredit any individual religions.
- You could earn a million dollars by invoking ANY deity and having he/she/it create life, in lab conditions, subject to certain restrictions:
- only atheists allowed within laboratory
- no pantheistic traditions
- no holy materials
- no sacrifices
- no rituals, except any ritual common to ALL religious traditions that have a creation myth
- miracles and holy presences count only if proven to be an incontrovertible manifestation of God, not possible instance of psychic or illusionist ability
- must conform perfectly to a manifestation previously recorded in scripture
- scripture to be submitted beforehand
- Invocation will be determined to be fraudulent (in intent or in result) if:
- Created life perfectly matches a life form currently living on Earth (copying is not creating)
- Invoker is suspected of being possessed
- Invokee is without physical form
- Invoker holds a position of authority within the religious community
- Invoker is on record has having been abducted by a UFO
- Invocation can be reproduced, in part or in whole, by a stage magician with sufficient preparation
- Created life completely different from known 'kinds' (impossible to accurately evaluate 'new' life forms)
- Evidence deemed to be convincing will be forwarded to unspecified 'scientists.' They will determine the factualness of the evidence, and it's impact on current evolutionary theory.
