    The “lie” that we can physically observe happening in real-time?

    Is he actually that stupid, or just counting on other people being that stupid?

      Researching the Lie of Evolution

      is such a weird turn of phrase even on its face. It is anti-science in the strictest sense. “Any amount of money investigating the veracity of claims is a waste, because we should just intuitively know the truth of all things.”

      Taken to its logical conclusion, this implies Ken Ham is claiming to be omniscient.

        no, he’s saying god is omniscient so trying to figure out things is pointless because god already knows everything and protects us ✨✨✨

        Granted, I am in a bible belt rural city, but I’ve realized if you stick out the conversation with some of these Trumpy Christians long enough you’ll get to the heart - They really do just… want to be told what to think. You have to play nice to get them there, but they eventually drill down to some variation of “Gods word is law and my pastors word is gods word and anything else is satanic bullshit we’re not meant to know if we were it’d be in the bible or my pastor would tell me, as God intended.” Scientific advancement is either fake or heathens dragging us further and further from god because Satan guides them to knowledge about the world.

        I can’t speak for everyone of course but its nuts to see how many people really are still ALL IN on “the apple is knowledge, Eve ate the apple, and that ripped us away from god for eternity - we were meant to be nothing but sheep”

      The “lie” that is one of the foundations that all modern medical science is based on?

      I agree with you. Imagine being that guy and thinking that scientists are pretending to do research and lying to the public for zero benefit.
