Creationists, do you think evolutionists are brainwashed?
I think so.
For example, if you even SUGGEST that animals appeared in their present form through God's powers, you are instantly shut down.
Here's the thing though, if Jesus can walk on water and make food appear to feed the masses and also create the universe, what's so hard about making an animal pop into existence?

In order for your argument to work you have to prove that Jesus existed and that he did the things you said.
And no, the Bible is not sufficient.
"Here's the thing though, if Jesus can walk on water and make food appear to feed the masses and also create the universe,"
Prove this, and then I'll think about animals popping into existence!
Among all of Jesus' alleged miracles listed in your book: walking on the water, calming of the storm, feeding the crowd, healings, raising of Lazurus, etc.; the Creation of the Universe is not one of them. You fail Bible 101.
From a theistic perspective, if He can raise the dead, why couldn't he set things in motion millions of years ago to result in humanity today?
Anything powerful enough to create a universe is powerful enough to work in more subtle ways.
"Here's the thing though, if Jesus can walk on water and make food appear to feed the masses and also create the universe... "
Except that Jesus didn't create the universe, God did.
Except that Jesus was God incarnate, so he created the universe before he existed, because he hadn't yet created himself in order to birth himself into the world so he could save us from the sin that he caused us to have in the first place, after he created the universe before he existed.
Therefore, "evolutionists" are brainwashed.
The irony is strong in this one.
The fossils, the transitional species, and the obvious changes in critters, including humans, show evolution at work.
You may not want to read the following due to your limited view of the world. You wouldn't want to break your brain. Anyway, here it is. You've been warned:
We don't believe Jesus did any of that crap either!
Specious argument (that is "specious", not "species"). We don't believe Jesus walked on water, changed water into wine, raised the dead or rose from the dead. I personally think he was probably a good human being who got his lights put out because he was a threat to the establishment.
Friends, do you think my neighbors are brainwashed?
I think so.
For example, if you even SUGGEST that brightly colored seals are flying through hoops that turn into highway signs when you look at them, while little green men drive around in motocycles and dig up anthills, leading to chronic rheumatism in desert ants, you are instantly shut down.
Here's the thing though, if Colonel Sanders can use mobius strips to repel aliens from Dimension X, what's so hard about making a pen that writes with erasable ink?
Well, nothing really...
except, you know that small thing everyone knows...
you know, the fact that none oF THAT EVER HAPENNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"For example, if you even SUGGEST that animals appeared in their present form through God's powers, you are instantly shut down."
Because it never fucking happened!
<i>Here's the thing though, if Jesus can walk on water and make food appear to feed the masses and also create the universe, what's so hard about making an animal pop into existence?</i>
Were you there when Jesus made bread and food appear out of nowhere, walk on water, turn water into wine, and make the blind see? No? Then shut the hell up. Basically that is saying you believe what a friend of a friend of a friend 2000 years ago said.
There are no such people as "evolutionists" as it is not a religious belief; evolution is a scientific theory, and a scientific theory is a fact approved by almost every scientist in the known world, not your idea of "theory" which is basically a hypothesis. Evolution occurs constantly on a microscopic level, like bacteria gaining resistances to drugs.
You need to bring evidence to argue against evolution OTHER than using circular logic saying "the Bible is true because it is".
<i>Creationists, do you think evolutionists are brainwashed? </i>
Irony levels are OVER 9000!
(I hope italics work this way....)

Goddammit, I refreshed and it posted my argument again...
Note to self: do not refresh, open up new window...
Also, testing italics.
I still stand by my argument that this guy is a fool who is parroting all other Fundie beliefs in evolution.
Here's the thing though, if Jesus can walk on water and make food appear to feed the masses and also create the universe
Yeah, I don't believe that either.
There wouldn't be. That is, if anyone would actually believe that a man could walk on water, make food appear to feed the masses and to create the universe (that he lives in, no less). Since we have no evidence that any human being is capable of such feats, it is logical to assume that there is another explanation for the multitude of life forms on this planet.
"if Jesus can walk on water and make food appear to feed the masses and also create the universe,"
Then surely he could have also put some of this amazing shit on video as proof.

"(I hope italics work this way....)"
Unfortunately, they do not. Use the square brackets [ ] next time, for it is they that work here.
"For example, if you even SUGGEST that animals appeared in their present form through God's powers, you are instantly shut down. "
Because you can't prove that.
"Here's the thing though, if Jesus can walk on water and make food appear to feed the masses and also create the universe, what's so hard about making an animal pop into existence?"
You can't prove that either.

In a story or in the real world? It makes a difference, you know.
Wow, I can't believe I ever believed evolution was credible. It has to be all lies because Jesus walked on water.
The evidence against this theory is mounting, people.
Methinks "shut down" means someone politely saying, "ok, prove it!"
After this happens, what remains of the fundies higher brain functions begins to shut down.

Projecting much?
For example, if you even SUGGEST that animals appeared in their present form through God's powers, you are instantly shut down.
Uh, evidence tends to have that effect, especially when your claims have no supporting evidence and are based on wildly incorrect presumptions.
Here's the thing though, if Jesus can walk on water and make food appear to feed the masses and also create the universe, what's so hard about making an animal pop into existence?
Uh, problem: Jesus' existence isn't exactly a 'fact'. Any evidence for him (other than your fairytale book which doesn't even come close to counting) is tenuous at best. You're reaching awful far there to try and prove creationism.
There's some logic here.
A = Jesus walking on water and making food appear to feed the masses and also creating the universe
B = Making an animal pop into existence
A --> B
So if A is true then B is true. Now you just need to prove A is true. Let me know when you got it.
Oh, well, nothing if--
WAAAAAIT a minute.
People supporting evolution understand cause and effect. What you're suggesting, as far as intelligent design is concerned, is that we should accept your understanding of an animal appearing by God's powers, but you do not explain God's existence or if Jesus was even real. The Bible said so isn't a good answer!
Note: Please use the brain you evolved with. It might hurt a little to exercise this muscle for the first time. Proceed with caution.
I don't know why don't you ask Criss Angel?
Here's a better question, if God can create the universe why are all his "miracles" cheap magic tricks?
Well, when you can produce convincing evidence that Jesus did exist, and did walk on water, and did make food appear, then we can talk about making animals pop into existence, OK?
How do you know it was Jesus who "popped" all the animals into existence? Dionysus was said to have walked on water and changed water into wine well before Jesus is said to have been born. How do you know that Dionysus didn't "pop" all the animals into existence?
Let me guess, because there's no evidence for Dionysus being real, right?
For example, if you even SUGGEST that animals appeared in their present form through God's powers, you are instantly shut down.
Because the available physical evidence does not support it.
Here's the thing though, if Jesus can walk on water and make food appear to feed the masses and also create the universe, what's so hard about making an animal pop into existence?
Because using the same criteria, it's perfectly possible for the universe and everything and everyone in it to have been created late last Thursday, three minutes ago, or just now. And since assuming that doesn't actually tell us anything useful about the world around us, it's not something most scientists bother wasting time considering.
God popping animals and humans and everything into exisentence from nothing? Something from nothing?
And here I thought according to you fundies it was us godless scientific atheists that accepted the big bang that were saying something came from nothing...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
