If there is no God then why does everyone on the planet call the day "day" and the night "night", seeing as those are the Names that God gave them .. he also named our planet earth, and strangely enough everyone still calls this planet earth... there's many more examples and references, but I just figured I'd share a few.
[Despite several replies explaining how humans made up those words, and the bible was originally in hebrew and not english, the best answer he chose was a comment about how we base our calendar on Jesus' birth, because it's "Accurate and in line with what i was shooting for."]

A perfect example of "ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer", except in this case it's more, "choose a stupid answer"
Sing-along time!
Oh, what a beautiful moron!
Oh, what a beautiful day!
He's got a head full of sunshine,
Everything's going his way.
Someone really gave William the smackdown with this:
By the way, if there is no Thor, why do we have a day named for him (Thursday)?
No words for such stupidity.
I doubt God, if he existed, would have spoken English.
You, sir, are a genius. For example, I'm almost certain the word 'the' was used in a translated version of the Bible, and look! Practically everyone uses it!
Well, you have me convinced! Kudos!
Major Facepalm.
& Everyone on the planet does not call day "day". More people in the world call it "tian".
EDIT: & 2 the 'best' answer. Not everyone uses the same calendar. Islamic countries use a different calendar. So does Ethiopia. N. Korea has a calendar based on Kim Il Sung(the Juche communist version of Jesus)'s birthday.
Pssh. If there is no God then why is there the word "god"?! Huh? Ya?! Take that atheists!!!!!!1!1!!1one!
Please, get off the internet. Move to another country.

Languages don't work that way. Hell, words don't work that way either. That's what makes them different fucking languages you moron.
How do you get through your week without acknowledging the existence and sovereignty of the gods of the moon and sun, of Tiw, Odin, Thor, Frige, and Saturn?

Only in the English version.
he also named our planet earth,
No, man did.
and strangely enough everyone still calls this planet earth...
Yeah, becasue that's what WE named it.
it's "Accurate and in line with what i was shooting for."]
I knew a kid who shot a bunch of holes in the back side of the tool shed, then drew bull's eys around the holes.
Another interesting thing is that not everyone calls it day and night, and not everyone calls it the earth. It may always get translated as day and night, but a direct translation of certain languages would yield quite different results.
Dan. Noc. Yugoslavia.
Fail!
"was a comment about how we base our calendar on Jesus' birth"
Chinese New Year ring any bells?
"seeing as those are the Names that God gave them"
Or perhaps they are words english folks agreed upon?
"he also named our planet earth, and strangely enough everyone still calls this planet earth..."
In the words of the great Jetfire: "Earth? Terrible name for a planet. Might as well call it Dirt, planet Dirt."
And let me guess, the only accurate version of the bible is the english King James bible, whereas versions in other languages are just (possibly wrong) translations of the english original (including the older greek and hebrew manuscripts)
;)
It's hard to believe somebody could be that stupid and actually using a computer. Does he actually believe "everyone on the planet" speaks English? Even the English didn't speak English 1,000 years ago. The Bible says God called the light "yowm" and the dark "layil".
In any event, if you're going to take the Bible literally, then why wouldn't God's original words be corrupted at the Tower of Babel?
Hi im Droolella, Grunterz sista. William iz Grunter meat if hee cums rownd hear. Mi pet rat noes mor than William and mi pet rat is ded wee had it for lunsh. Gotta go an polish mi lumpz, see yoo.
fuck of, Droolella.
Let me see, dia, Tag, Jour, imera............am I lost?
because we took words from other languages and molded them into our own. Actually, different people from different countries have different words : night in spanish is noche and day is dia. You sir, are illiterate in 1,000 different languages. Russians call earth Mother Russia. FAIL!
Uhmmmm, I know people who speak different languages and uhmmm, yeah. Also, it might really blow your mind to know some languages have the same word but that word will mean different things in each language,but yeah.
Is it just me or is there some things which are just to stupid and illogical to even refute and the fundies then take as a sign of victory the "fact" that no one can refute that "logical claim"?
But everyone doesn't. I call them Oiche and La. The French call them nuit et Jour, the Italians: notte e giorno; the Spanish: Noche y Dia; the Romanians: Noapte si ziua; the Israelis Leila v'Yom; the Arabs Laila wa Youm... etc etc. So since God would have probably spoken Hebrew, your version has to be wrong. English wasn't even heard of when the planet was created, in creationist terms.
then why does everyone on the planet call the day "day" and the night "night"
They don't you stupid twat. Every language has it's own words.
he also named our planet earth, and strangely enough everyone still calls this planet earth
English speaking Americans =/= to whole world.

You do know that there are other languages besides English, right?
And of course every language has a word for 'day' and a word for 'night'....since in every part of the world, there are periods of light, and periods of darkness. Simple observations don't require divine intervention.
"If there is no God then why does everyone on the planet call the day "day" and the night "night", seeing as those are the Names that God gave them"
And if you fundies believe in the Abrahamic God, why do you use the days of the week, named mostly after the Nordic deities?:
Sunday -- Sun's day
Monday -- Moon's day
Tuesday -- Tiu's day
Wednesday -- Woden's day
Thursday -- Thor's day
Friday -- Freya's day
Saturday -- Saturn's day
Hypocrite, much?
I can't believe no one has said this yet....
"If the King's English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it's good enough for me!"
And the days of the week are named after Pagan gods, so they're real. Also, God apparently knew Augustus and Octavius would create their own months. Man you fuckers are dumb. And show me in the Bible where "Earth" is mentioned as a proper noun? Didn't fucking think so.
If there is no God then why does everyone on the planet call the day "day" and the night "night"
If the god Janus does not exist why do we call the first month "January"?
If the god Mars does not exist why do we call the third month "March"?
If the goddess Maia does not exist why do we call the fifth month "May"?
If the goddess Juno does not exist why do we call the sixth month "June"?
If Julius Caesar wasn't a god as declared by the Roman Senate, why do we call the seventh month "July"?
If Augustus Octavianus wasn't a god as declared by the Roman Senate, why do we call the eigth month "August"?
He's, God created at least 3000 ways to say it and at least half of them will disappear. Because, you know, people stop using them
Everyone on the planet does not speak English, silly boy.
I bet you can find older sources than the Bible to all those words.
Yeah, the calendar is based on Jesus' birth. That's why months are called January, February, March, April, May, June, July and August, right? And why days are called Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Because all those gods and goddesses are all brothers and sisters of Jesus, right?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
