While this comment in itself may not be fundie, I do believe the guy himself is. I've just read through the entire original thread (followed by the afterwards required *headdesk* and *facepalm*) and as a result I am simply astounded by his ignorance. Oh, and the fact that he is a YEC doesn't exactly help his case - even getting the facts spelled out for him in a manner even an eight year old could understand didn't help. He is simply either too thick to comprehend basic science, or too ingrained in his absurd beliefs to seem not to want to understand.
You see Joe (if you ever find your way in here to read our commentary) I do believe you are capable of understanding what's been explained to you - I really do. Perhaps I put too much faith in the average man, but yes - I really do believe you are able to understand, as long as you put your mind to it. And a mind is truly a horrible thing to waste.
Which brings me to my next point. Everything you take for granted each day (fresh food, computers, DVD-players, TeleVision, GPS, modern medicine, automobiles etc) is due to bright minds thinking and solving problems by the application of the scientific method. The scientists lay the groundwork for the engineers who actually design and build the stuff. It's is our minds and our abilities to apply our intelligence, to "think outside the box" as it were, that makes our civilization move forward, and that ensures a technological revolution that is, simply put, staggering. Were it not for science, the world would be a very different place indeed. Or do you think that perhaps God simply manifested a Ford model T in front of good old Henry, with the message "Thou shalt take this T-Ford and multiply it, and henceforth thou shalt conquer the world!"?
I have a very low tolerance for ignorance, stupidity, bigotry and prejudice, Joe, and you managed to really tick me off on all counts. I am of half a mind to join the Liberty News Forum to call you on every blatant piece of bile you manage to spew out, and I hope for mankinds sake that you have not yet been able, or allowed, to breed. It is people like you that almost make me wish that there should be a minimum IQ-limit in order to be allowed to procreate.
Oh dear, I seem to have gone off on a rant.
Excuse me. *blows nose*
Joe, one final thing; had it not been for the blessings brought by because of modern science you would probably prove to be too stupid to be able to survive on your own.
