Creationists tell Sir David Attenborough to 'burn in hell'
- Thread starter Candlelight
- Start date
Is it a one off? I thought it was a series...There's an Attenborough one-off programme playing on BBC1 right this very minute called Charles Darwin and the Tree of Life. And I'm enjoying it very much.
Here's the BBC website thing about the show - [Click!]
I'm watching it on BBC HD right now, hopefully it will get good ratings and explain evolution to those who are confused about it.
My dad's Freeview box does the same thing - no matter what you're recording it asks if you want to record it as a series. Even movies.Well if it's not a series my media centre is recording a repeat next week.According to my TV guide it's a one-off. I hope they're wrong!
Knowing there's a Darwin season on the BBC I just did a keyword recording for the word Darwin, and I've been getting some weird things, MI High, My Parents are Aliens and some other crap.My dad's Freeview box does the same thing - no matter what you're recording it asks if you want to record it as a series. Even movies.Well if it's not a series my media centre is recording a repeat next week.According to my TV guide it's a one-off. I hope they're wrong!
Ah, technology playing silly buggers - EXPLAIN THAT, ATTENBOROUGH!
"Cutting a swathe through the living rooms of our world, Freeview boxes are among the crappiest technologies found anywhere on our planet."
In this case, it's a "blame Microsoft" moment. It's Media Centre that's doing it.

I can hear him saying that!
That. Is. Fecking. BRILLIANT!
I'm bookmarking that.
There is no evidence for or against god, and that faith is as you describe, it is not willful ignorance.
However creationists do not just have faith in god. There can be a god but the bible can still be worthless fiction mixed with garbled Jewish history. Creationists have absolute faith in the bible. It is willful ignorance, in that there is sufficient evidence that the earth is much more than 6000 years old, and that species do mutate and evolve over time.
Not all Christians take every word of the bible as the absolutely true word of god. Those who don't are often decried by fundamentalists as not being "real" christians, but many people are able see that the bible was the work of man and flawed, and still belief in god, Christ, etc.
The ones who promote Creationism and go so far as to send hate mail are at the other end of the spectrum, and yes they are willfully ignorant.
No, that's not Faith. They have confidence that the laws of physics will continue to behave as they always have, that the technology which has been tested and proven will function as it has in the past, and that the administrators will make the right decisions based on experience. The latter two may not be perfect, but there is enough evidence to justify that confidence. There is a track record here-- not a lack of evidence or negative evidence. So, no, it's not Faith.
Which is exactly what I said and what Borg Queen bolded.
Not necessarily. You could have an open relationship, or you could get off on seeing your wife with another man, you know some people do...

Unless that man is Tom Baker, Stephen Fry or David Tennant, I can't understand those people at all.

One night in a club my mate was chatting up the bartender, and at the end of her shift she came over and started chatting with him and he said he noticed this guy hovering around watching them, and at the end of the night the guy came over and told him he was her husband, and would he like to go back to their house and shag her while he watched? My mate said to me later that he would have but he was afraid the guy would get excited and join in but not with her, either that or he'd kick shit out of him afterwards.
It's good to be careful like that.
