[In reference to UK astronomers announcing a project to map out the "inception and formation of the galaxies". Ready your irony meters...]
They'll never accept that Genesis is all they need to know the origins of everything....those 35 weeks would be much better spent reading the Bible instead of making observations based on false assumptions and fairy tales.

Not to mention all those idiots studying to become doctors, eh? Or the ones studying to build your house and construct your car, when the bible clearly says that all you need is a stable and a talking donkey.
They'll never accept that Genesis is all they need to know the origins of everything....
Congratulations on reinforcing the position of the 15th century Catholic Church. Those of us in the 21st century are looking for somewhat more robust explanations.

Translation: Stop learning.
Frank, kiss your fucking computer goodbye. I can't fucking believe you'd whine about searching for knowledge, yet you'd so flagrantly benefit from that knowledge.
In the beginning there was hydrogen, and gravity acted upon the hydrogen, and separated hydrogen from vacuum . . .
*fundie interupts* NO!!NO!! GODDIDDIT!! GODDIDDIT!! AND GRAVITY IS ONLY A THEORY!!!!!!
funny most of these brilliant Fundamentalists have obviously taken only 1-2 years of Science in High School.
and yet they are a science authority.
read about the Discovery Institute on line:
The Discovery Institute is a conservative public policy U.S. think tank based in Seattle, Washington, best known for its advocacy of intelligent design and its Teach the Controversy campaign to teach creationist anti-evolution beliefs in United States public high school science courses.
FBM, there's a built-in stipulation to just about everything in Science that goddidit. The difference is, scientists are discovering how, when, where, and why goddidit ("who", of course, is the eternal mystery question)...while you slobbering raptards maintain an abysmal state of ignorance.
I don't understand why you are all hung up on one unanswerable question and refuse to employ the uniquely human skills of observation and analysis to find those answers you can.
Making actual observations is a bad idea, according to believers. I guess they realise that it would invalidate their myths.
Such dimwits should not be allowed to vote. I'm serious.
"They'll never accept that Genesis is all they need to know the origins of everything"
Yeah, coz Gensis talkas in depth about dark matter, black wholes, quarks etc etc etc.
Incredible! The answer's been staring me in the face all this time. Wow! It's so obvious. Why didn't I think of that before. Of course. It's so easy.
So all I have to do to ascend to the dizzy heights of the intellectual elite, is read the bible. Just to waft in the breeze of such a rarefied academic atmosphere and become one with the gifted and highly educated, again, just read the bible, specially Genesis.
Thank you so much for using some of your very valuable time spent discovering new theories to inform us of this precious piece of information.
And to think I've always said the following:-
There is no god, it definitely doesn't exist.
The bible contains errors and is inconsistent.
There is no heaven and there is no hell.
There are no angels, demons, and devils or satan.
The bible is immoral and unethical.
The bible is useless as a guide to anything.
The bible is just a XXX tome.
Ah! Well! One lives and learns.
Love ya, Pule.
Has Frank ever actually read his own Bible? Unless you're unemployed, it takes a good bit longer than 35 weeks to get through something that massive.
That's like me saying you should take a few weeks to read Will Durant's 11-volume history of the world.
The scribblings in the bible contain, at best, only the wisdom and good-sense that had been known about, and had been widely held, for thousands of years before it was written.
For the most part, the bible is the very antithesis of wisdom, good-sense and science, with much of it concerned with dastardly deeds and the promotion of immoral and unethical behaviour.
"A fairy tale is a fictional story that may feature folkloric characters such as fairies, goblins, elves, trolls, giants, and talking animals, and usually enchantments, often involving a far-fetched sequence of events. In modern-day parlance, the term is also used to describe something blessed with princesses, as in "fairy tale ending" (a happy ending)[1] or "fairy tale romance", though not all fairy tales end happily. Colloquially, a "fairy tale" or "fairy story" can also mean any far-fetched story. Fairy tales mostly attract young children since they easily understand the archetypal characters in the story."
Sounds more like the bible to me.
For things like this, you pull out the clamp-style field effect irony meter. They're kind of hard to find, but they take advantage of the Anthony Michael Hall effect so the front-end circuits aren't overloaded.
I mean, it's still possible to burn them out with an especially high irony flux (like, say, a gaybashing speech at a Promise Keepers rally or anything involving the phrase "liberal media"), but it won't actually explode, just fuse a couple elements of the Flintstone bridge.
If he's so confident he should approach those astronomers and convince them that his KJB is the best model for the inception and formation of galaxies.
Nah, scratch that. Being nasty scientists they'd respond to his blather with hard facts and he'd cry (or scratch his head and look dim), besides they have better things to do than be pestered by semi literate dimwits waving bibles.
Harlan Ellison once said that Fundamentalists don't just regard ignorance as bliss, they regard it as the highest of virtues.
FrankBeMe proves Ellison right.
35 weeks? In their spare time,some of these people could read it, break it down and maybe explain what it says to you. It won't get through that thick skull but maybe he'll try.
What a waste of time that would be.
Good thing he's trying to figure out the cosmos at work
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
