HOLY CRAP
So I was reading a bulletin on an Atheist myspace group....
Wow.
You have to see this for yourself:
"Ok, I read this in a message post concerning a tv series coming out and the person posted three incredible reasons that a God exists. Read it and weap (actually it's pretty sad).
(1) My aunt had cancer.
(2) The doctors gave her all these horrible treatments.
(3) My aunt prayed to God and now she doesn't have cancer.
(4) Therefore, God exists.
(1) If evolution is false, then creationism is true, and therefore God exists.
(2) Evolution can't be true, since I lack the mental capacity to understand it; moreover, to accept its truth would cause me to be uncomfortable
(3) Therefore, God exists.
(1) If the Exodus story has any basis in historical fact, then God exists.
(2) Some guy found some chariot wheels at the bottom of the Red Sea.
(3) There is absolutely no other way that chariots could get to the bottom of the Red Sea.
(4) This means the Exodus story is true.
(5) Therefore, God exists."
Kind of hard to follow, isn't it?
Here's my take on it:
First piece of "proof":
There have been many cases where a person's cancer has gone away without years of special treatment. Plus, these "horrible treatments" could have been normal cancer treatments.
Second part:
This stupefies me. I don't think the English language has any words than can possibly describe how baffled I am by this statement. I could pwn this so easily I'm almost afraid to try.
Third part:
One, simple point: ALL ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS THAT USED CHARIOTS WERE LOCATED SOMEWHERE NEAR THE RED SEA. THEY ALL HAD SHIPS. Think about it for a second.
I still had some faith in the intelligence of humanity, but now it's totally gone.
