Re: Thanks EVC
What lyrics are you talking about that have been "debunked?"
I suppose that some of them could be excused by artistic license, but some are just plain false. Here's what I came up with:
quote:
EVER SEEN A HALF GIRAFFE KANGAROO WITH PENGUIN WINGS?
This betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of evolution. If such things were observed, that would be strong evidence against the theory of evolutiuon, which predicts gradual change and modification of existing structures.
quote:
OR FOSSILS THAT TRAVEL VERTICALLY
IN THE EARTHS CRUST
Usually called "polystrate fossils". Some are no such thing, the others are easily explained by conventional geology. See CC331, A Whale of a Tale, Soracilla defends the Flood? (mostly a "Joggins Polystrate Fossils" discussion) and Modern Sunken Forests Discredit Fossilization Argument.
quote:
10 TRILLION YEARS OF EVOLUTION
COULD NEVER ACCOUNT FOR THE CREATION THAT WE LIVE IN
Around here, that's called an "unsupported assertion". Bet you don't have any calculations to support that.
quote:
SOME SCIENTISTS DON’T REALLY KNOW
ANY MORE THAN YOUR MAMA
FIGHTING WITH EACH OTHER
LIKE SOME DRAMA FROM A SOAP OPERA
PSYCHO BABEL FROM THE MINDS OF GROWN MONKEYS
THERE DABBLING IN LIES
THERE NUTS LIKE JIF CHUNKY
Far overstating the amount and intensity of scientific disagreements (which are not evidence against evolution; they're one of the strengths of science), and an "ad hominem" attack (atacking the person instead of the person's argument).
quote:
NINETY EIGHT PERCENT OF PEOPLE CLAIM BELIEF IN GOD BUT ASKED IF THEY BELIEVE IN EVOLUTION THEY APPLAUD THAT’S CONTRADICTORY
THAT’S CALLED HYPOCRISY
Absolutely false. I bet the number of people who profess belief in a God is less than 98%, and the number of people who profess belief in the Christian God is less than 50% (world-wide) and far less than 98% in the United States.
Many people find no contradiction between believing in God and accepting the theory of evolution. Your lyrics insult these devout believers based on your opinion.
quote:
CREATION IS PROOF
This song takes a listener through the 7 days of creation according to the Bible. Creation proves that we obviously live on a planet that was invented by an Intellegent designer
This is called "begging the question" or "assuming the consequent". You assume that what your are trying to prove is true, and that's the proof. Re-telling the story of Genesis in different words is not proof of anything other than the ability to re-wrie Genesis.
