Creation Guys Episode #004: “Intelligence, Bones and Chromosomes”
On May 10, 2008 in Feedback, Science Related, Uncategorized
It’s often said that Intelligent Design is simply “creationism repackaged” - is that true? After all, they both think we are the result of intelligence, don’t they? What about “vestigial bones” found within whales that, according to Creationists, never used to walk on land - doesn’t this completely debunk the “creation myth”? And what on Earth would a Creationist say if you showed them “undeniable biological evidence” clearly showing a “connection” between men and chimps?
Tune in to this episode to see how a couple of “anti-science bible-thumpers” hold up under direct scrutiny!

A Railroad Worker and His Son
On February 01, 2008 in Uncategorized
A railroad worker brought his son to work one day, to show him what his father did for a living. “See Son, pull this lever and the bridge goes up so the boats can pass. Push it so the bridge goes down so the trains can pass.” His son was excited about his dad’s job.Lunch came along and they were sitting and eating. All of a sudden the train-horn sounded, and it was time to lower the bridge. The little boy raced over to the stairs, and started climbing up to the lever. Losing his balance he fell and landed himself in the large gears beneath the stairs.
His father panicked and tried to reach his son. The train horn sounded yet again, and it was time to make a decision. Hundreds of people on that train are going to die, or his son is going to die. After a painful moment, he turned away from his son and reached for the lever. In tears he pushed the lever, and lowered the bridge. The scream of his own son filled the air.
As the train passed with the hundreds of people who were just saved on account of a horrifying sacrifice, the father screamed at the carts, “Don’t you see what happened! Don’t you see what I gave for you!” The people laughing, drinking, and carrying on to their own business didn’t even see the father screaming, or know of what he did for them.
The Father allowed his Son to be killed, for the many people passing by on the train.
God the Father allowed his Son to be brutally murdered in order to save us. Unfortunately, some of us refuse to believe we are in any form of danger - just as the passengers had no idea the bridge was up. Some of us cannot hear the Father crying out, because of other distractions.
Flying Spaghetti Nonsense
On January 17, 2008 in In the News, Uncategorized
Humans are pretty amazing creatures. We’re capable of doing and achieving wonderfully amazing things, and at the same time we’re guilty of some of the dumbest ideas and actions ever witnessed on this ball of dirt we call Home.
I want to talk about one of our latest and greatest feats of stupidity, the concept of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM). This “Spaghedeity”, as it’s called by Atheists today, is the Creator of the Universe according to the religion of “Pastafarianism”. This “religion” was started in 2005, during the hot debates on whether or not children should be taught Godless Evolution, or allow for the interpretation that a Creator may have been involved. Atheists got upset because kids might actually believe that they were created, so they came up with the FSM to parody other Creation stories.
The thing that is so stupid about this idea is that it in no way resembles that which it attempts to parody. Some Evolutionists and Atheists actually attempt to debate intelligent Christians with this nonsense too. So let’s just clear up a few reasons why the Bible (I’ll use that as my example), and the FSM religion are not comparable:
- The collection of writings known as The Bible was authored by multiple convergent sources, spanning more than a thousand years, from varying geographical locations. The Pastafarian belief-system was conjured up by an Oregon State student named Bobby (The Prophet) Henderson.
- The Bible has survived the test of time, and has convinced highly intelligent people who have lived and died by the text. The FSM has converted absolutely no intelligent people who would die by the Pastafarian religion.
- The Bible makes legitimate claims that can be systematically tested with reliable Scientific methodology. The FSM makes no such claims that can be scientifically tested, and furthermore declares that it is impossible to trust Science.
- The writings contained in the Bible are original and not the work of plagiary. The “Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster” show clear signs of plagiary and mimicry of the Bible.
- The Bible commands people to “Study”, “speak to the Earth”, “Consider the ways of insects”, and “Seek Knowledge”. The Bible clearly commands people to use Science in order to gain a better understanding of the World around us. The Church of the FSM declares that Science cannot be trusted, as the FSM actively interferes with the data, thus fudging the results intentionally.
I feel like I’m wasting time even discussing it, but there are many very stupid people out there who sincerely feel that the FSM is on-par with Christianity, or any other Faith. In reality, it’s one of the most worthless attempts to defend Atheism I have ever witnessed. It has no logical defense, no testable claims, no internal consistency, no historical value, no effect on society, and no convergent sources. These are just a few things it lacks to even begin to be considered as an alternative to any religious system.
I could go on and on, but I feel like a complete idiot even taking this serious enough to write a blog-entry on it. The sad thing is that they take it even more serious than I could drugged-up and inebriated swimming in a cloud of Nitrous oxide.
Back to Blogging - Again.
On December 12, 2007 in Uncategorized
I used to write a lot, until my server crashed one day. Apparently, the server crashing triggered an unspecified quantity of apathy that had been resting within my mind. So after the issues were resolved, my desire to blog never seemed to recover.
Lately I’ve been coming across so many issues that I would love to discuss, but have not had a place to do so with the freedom I used to have. So I decided to buy www.SampsonBlog.com and start blogging again.
That’s it for now. I’ve still got some more customization to do to this layout before I hit the ground and take off!
