Why are creationists perfectly happy to accept it when a DNA test shows that they're part irish or native or that they're related to someone famous... [Spirituality & Religion]
...but when DNA shows that we shared a common ancestor with other apes suddenly it's all just conjecture?
Come on, fundies. Pick a lane.

Results that fit their prejudices (e.g. those showing human ancestry) are "real science" and "the truth". Results that challenge their prejudices and cast doubt on their magical man-in-the-sky are just made up. :)

@GodSpeed63 Come on, don't play dumb. It's the thing you keep babbling on about - the one you call "god jehovah/yahweh" of course, but you already knew that.

If you want to talk to somebody about playing dumb, try yourself first. I don't believe in a magical man in the sky. If you want to believe in him along with your monster, that's up to you. My God, that I have a personal relationship with, is the one true God who lives forever. It's up to you to decide to drop your monster and your magical man in the sky and come, have a close relationship with the one true God, Yahweh. His arms are wide open, ready to receive you.

What about your imaginary magical man in the sky? And you say I'm delusional. Get your head out of clouds, kid. My God lives outside of time and space.
@GodSpeed63 You said that your god 'lives outside of space and time'.
(I assume you were trying to refer to spacetime).
if that's the case, then it can't have any effect whatsoever on this universe, and the postulation of its existence can be ignored. Fortunately that changes nothing for us, because the postulation explained nothing in the first place
@newjaninev2 You have watched Dr Who? The Doctor is always rabbiting on about space and time. Perhaps GodSpeed is a fan, too. Shame, because I love Dr Who.
@GodSpeed63 it still invalidates his existence since nothing can exist outside of space and time. And saying he had no beginning or end is a logical fallacy, as this God of yours would still need a beginning.

What does Dr. Who have to do with God living outside time and space?
@newjaninev2 [quote]If your god is outside of space and time then it cannot influence anything in this universe... and is therefore irrelevant.[/quote]
With God, all things are possible. That is relevant.
