“We live in an era when public high schools and colleges have all but banned God from science classes. In these classrooms, students are taught that the whole universe, including plants and animals—and humans—arose by natural processes. Naturalism (in essence, atheism) has become the religion of the day and has become the foundation of the education system (and Western culture as a whole). The more such a philosophy permeates the culture, the more we would expect to see a sense of purposelessness and hopelessness that pervades people’s thinking.” -Ken Ham

That’s right folks, Ken Ham believes that Science and Reason are the source of the school shooting at V-Tech.

*Cricket. Cricket. Cricket.*

Yea, you read that right. This Biblical literalist to the nth degree believes that teaching science based on evidence instead of the Bible is the source of mankind’s woes. I guess Ken Ham believes that no Christian ever <insert crime here> at a <insert public or private institution here> before. You know, it wouldn’t even bother me if people said this type of shit and no one actually listened to them, but flaming idiots like this actually have loyal followers, people who eat up the shit they spew like it’s the last motherfucking supper.

Ken Ham believes that science being taught in the classrooms without God in the picture lead to hopelessness and despair, the very qualities that cause people to shoot up schools. Ken Ham also believes that the Earth is only 6,000 years old and that dinosaurs co-existed with humans. Apparently Ken Ham likes to talk shit without any evidence to back his claims up.

Also: The Bible isn’t evidence. Get over it.

Let’s look at the Ken Ham Wikipedia page: “Ham believes the Theory of Evolution indirectly caused the rise of humanism, racism, eugenics, euthanasia, pornography, homosexuality, family breakup, abortion, and more by increasing the influence of atheism” Try not to laugh too hard. I didn’t laugh that hard only because my girlfriend (Oh shit, I’m living in SIN!) is trying to sleep in the next room and any outbursts from me will earn me an ass-kicking by a wrathful, albeit hawt, brunette.

Wait, wait,wait… I’m being unfair though. Ham didn’t say Evolution was the true cuprit – Sin is the real bad boy here – as Ham said: “When people say that students need to be taught right and wrong, what they really mean is that these students need to be taught Christian morality. But Christian morality is based on the Christian worldview. And the Christian worldview is based on the Bible being true. The Bible’s truths concerning morality and salvation are dependent on Genesis being literal history. Uh oh! Hasn’t science proved Genesis to be a myth? Doesn’t evolution disprove Genesis? And if the history in Genesis is not true, then there is no basis for any Christian doctrine—no basis for morality—no basis for right and wrong! So much for trying to stop school violence!” Holy fucking shit! This is the crux of his argument? What he’s saying is that only the Christian worldview teaches morality? Um… people weren’t moral before Christ? Buddhists aren’t moral today? Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin weren’t moral (Um, no. They weren’t Christian; read a book.)!?!

I see how it is:

Mr. Ham needs science explained to him in ways his simplistic mind can handle: The world was made 6,000 years ago by your imaginary friend.

Mr. Ham needs morality explained to him in ways his simplistic mind can handle: Only your people are moral. Everyone else is wrong.

Mr. Ham needs society explained to him in ways his simplistic mind can handle: Everything you fear, don’t understand, or don’t agree with is because they don’t believe in your imaginary friend.

Mr. Ham also needs violence explained to him in ways his utterly simplistic mind can handle: Fuckin’ atheists!

Mr. Ham is a moron.

Bill Mahr calls it like I see it. If men could have babies I’d bear his children. OOOOOH YEA!

I’m still not sure how to react. Part of me wants to laugh hysterically and dismiss it, but then another part of me realizes that people buy into this bullshit. Peanut Butter: the death of evolution. Is this man, an engineer and thus an authority on evolution, trying to say that evolution means “comes from nothing”? Has he even read anything about evolution, or is he just giving a knee-jerk reaction based on a word he heard in church? I wonder if he gets a flu shot every year (proof of evolution)? Or does he leave it up to Jesus to keep him from getting sick. More importantly, does Jesus like jelly on his sandwiches or does he roll only with peanut butter?

Someone should tell this guy that sealed packages are *airtight*. Evolution, when it happens, requires the environmental conditions to be perfect. One little screw up can prevent it all from going down. I’m pretty sure that if Earth had an airtight cover we homo sapiens wouldn’t be here right now. What about perservatives? Hrmmm, a preserved, airtight Earth. Yea, I think the Peanut Butter Theory is… uh… “reaching for it”. Ready for the kicker?

*Drumroll* Abiogenesis is not Evolution!

Everyone Else: 1

I’m still stunned by this one. I could articulate a much better blog about this, but I’m still sorta stupified by how rediculous this Peanut Butter Debunker is. This is up there with the Atheist’s Nightmare: The BANANA!

Thankfully, the Banana of God was debunked:

Le sigh.
