Stupidest thing you've ever heard someone say?

Post by Sionnach Glic »

While browsing another forum, I came across some people making fun of this little gem of logic:
Everyone knows scientists insist on using complex terminology to make it harder for True Christians to refute their claims.

Deoxyribonucleic Acid, for example... sounds impressive, right? But have you ever seen what happens if you put something in acid? It dissolves! If we had all this acid in our cells, we'd all dissolve! So much for the Theory of Evolution, Check MATE!
So that got me thinking, what's the dumbest thing you've ever heard someone say that they genuinely believed was true?

Nothing nearly as mud-level retarded as what you just listed. :lol:

I didn't hear someone say it, but I did read it.
Since the Bible has always been a science book that mankind misinterpreted into a religious book, it only makes sense to allow it into a science class where it belongs.

Those are great examples of fundamentalism at work. :roll:

Now, the following is n's example of a wacky credo or anything, but does fit with the theme: my father-in-law was once moaning about the lack of manners being used at the bar in a fraternal lodge, especially about the uncouth language being used while a woman was present. He summed it up by saying to me, my wife, and my mother-in-law, "I don't go for that foul-mouthed shit."

Here's another one, showing that, amazingly, people still believe the world to be flat:
What is called 'Science' today and 'scientists' consist of the same old gang of witch doctors, sorcerers, tellers of tales, the 'Priest-Entertainers' for the common people. 'Science' consists of a weird, way-out occult concoction of jibberish theory-theology... nothing good has ever come from 'science' ---- In fact, technology is not in any way related to the web of idiotic scientific theory. ALL inventors have been anti-science. The Wright brothers said: "Science theory held us up for years. When we threw out all science, started from experiment and experience, then we invented the airplane." By the way, airplanes all fly level on this Plane earth!

The Fact the Earth is Flat is not my opinion, it is a Proved Fact! While all we need to know is that the Bible says the Earth is flat (Is.40:22, Ez.7:2, Dn.2:35; 4:10-11,20, Mt.4:8)... but for a second can you imagine what these so-called 'scientists would have us believe ---- If the earth really was round, that would mean there arre people who are HANGING DOWN, HEAD DOWNWARDS while we are standing head up? But since the theory allows to travel to those parts of the earth where the people are said to hand head downward, and still to fancy ourselves to be heads upwards, and our friends whom we have left behind us to be heads downwards! LOL! What foolishness! TheWHOLE THING IS A MYTH - A DREAM - A DELUSION - and a snare, and, instead of there being any evidence at all in this direction to substantiate this popular theory, it is plain proof that the Earth is Not A Globe!

Also, be sure to know the Sun and Moon are about 3,000 miles away are both 32 miles across. The Planets are 'tiny.' Sun and Moon do Move, earth does NOT move, whirl, spin or gyrate (1 Sam.2:8, 1 Chr.16:30; Job 9:6, 38:4-6; Ps.96:10, 104:5, Is.13:10, Mic.6:2). Australians do NOT hang by their feet under the world... this is a FACT, not a theory! Also a Fact the Spinning, Whirling, Gyrating Ball World Planet, Globe Idea is Entirely 100% now and at all times in the Past, a RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE... a Blind Dogmatic Article of Faith in the Religion for the Blind unreasoning beast of prey. No earthly reason for a Sane, Upright Member of the Elite True Christians to subscribe to it. Also a Fact, today the Elite of Earth ALL live on the Flat World. Only the illogical, unreasoning "herd"... prefers the way-out occult weird theology of the old Greek superstitution earth a spinning ball! Both Copernecious and Newton, the inventors of the "modern" superstitions (400 year OLD modern) have said: "It is not possible for a Sane reasonable person to ever really believe these Theories." Thus sayeth Newton-Copernecious. What sayeth THOU?

Sticking with creationists... I have a feeling I have posted this before, but it's my all time favourite idiotic statement.
One of the most basic laws in the universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that as time goes by, entropy in an environment will increase. Evolution argues differently against a law that is accepted EVERYWHERE BY EVERYONE. Evolution says that we started out simple, and over time became more complex. That just isn't possible... UNLESS there is a giant outside source of energy supplying the Earth with huge amounts of energy. If there were such a source, scientists would certainly know about it.
That just staggers me.

This runs a close second :
How can anyone beleive we evolved from monkeys heres a few questions for people who beleive that

1.If we did evolve from monkeys then how come babies arent born monkeys

2.Even Darwin said his theories were wrong before he died so why do you still believe them

3.do you really not believe the bible it says we were created in seven days not millions of years

4.how come we cant speak monkey

Just for a fact ape like creatures are monkeys Just in case certain people get on this thread
And this one...
I am a bit troubled. I believe my son has a girlfriend, because she left a dirty magazine with men in it under his bed. My son is only 16 and I really don't think he's ready to date yet. What's worse is that he's sneaking some girl to his room behind my back. I need help, God! I want my son to stop being so secretive!
Well on the up side, at least she doesn't really have to worry that he's sneaking girls into his room... :happydevil:

I can't believe that someone would use the Bible to say the world is flat. The Bible frequently refers to the Earth as a ball or circle (circle in Hebrew usually refers to a three-dimensional figure, not a flat one).
It definitively is the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

Some people will twist anything to their needs. :roll:

As for the evolution ones (while I do not believe in evolution), I have to say that is ridiculous logic.
And I love the DNA one. :lol:

Ah, but wherever the Hebrew version contradicts the English version it's wrong!
If your original Hebrew disagrees with my original King James ---- your original Hebrew is wrong. If your original Hebrew agrees with my original King James, your original Hebrew is right.
Keep in mind, Stitch, we're dealing with people just one step above complete mental retardation here.
