You should follow “A Bit of Orange“.
He’s thoughtful and funny.
In order for comedy to work, you need two things:
Exaggeration and truth.
Here’s an example of stellar comedy from ABOO’s post:
Flat Earthers are just like evolutionists, and the flat earth theory is just like the evolution myth.
Perfection.
The exaggeration is comparing a belief held by fringe lunatics to the hip, intellectual belief that life came to exist without God.
The truth is…the comparison works.
Flat Earthers are reviled by atheists as “religious nut-jobs”.
Some atheists even make Flat Earth Theory part of Christian doctrine.
It is virtually impossible to persuade an atheist that Christians aren’t brainwashed simpletons.
(If you don’t believe that, you haven’t been reading my blog very long.)
The parallel between fundamental flat earth believers and fundamental atheists is spot on.
Both camps are firmly entrenched in their dogmas.
Neither is willing to consider another point of view.
And BOTH groups will be infuriated by this comparison!
Well done, ABOO.

GAPING holes in evolutionary theory leave scientists baffled (and Darwin rolling in his grave) – NaturalNews.com

Thanks for the link. I’m planning to write about this…I’ve got a backlog!
You’re most welcome, John!
I just bought the book, and am looking forward to diving in and swimming deep.
This is a perspective I hadn’t considered, and is a true paradigm shifter (sorry for the jargon). Like meeting Christ, once this is deeply considered, the dogma of our evolving from slime makes even less sense.
Thank you, Megan!
I was thrilled to share this. ❤️
Great article find!
Flat Earth- Has been believed since the beginning of man, however has been disproved first by the early Greeks and these days by mathematical calculations, a camera up in a high-altitude balloon and people who have been into space and taken pictures as acceptable evidence the Earth is a sphere.
Biological evolution- Has been universally accepted and through more scrutiny and rigorous investigation than just about any other scientific claim by modern science for over 150 years, and every year more supporting evidence is found. Evolution is considered a key unifying principle in biology.
The Adam and Eve creation story- Has been believed for many thousands of years since the Bible has been written and Christianity was created. Not considered to be a true story because it lacks any such evidence beyond the Bible for the existence of a creator and the humans he created. It is considered today to be a non-physical spiritual and religious understanding only.
What evidence do you have (personally) that species evolve into other species over time?
He will not answer you.
Steve usually responds to me with many off-topic words. I’m guessing he will object to the way I phrased my question so he doesn’t have to say “none.”
Definitions must remain vague. Otherwise you’ll be able to comprehend his arguments.
From his comment, it looked like he agreed with Insanity that his beliefs take faith in other people and pictures and stuff.
But I guess I’ll have to wait for the clarification.
Steve here is right about “Biological evolution” provided we DO NOT define it to mean what Darwin meant. If we make it watered down and fuzzy, like, “Changes over time” or “Changes in Allele frequency” then SURE it happens all of the time! But of course, once you define it to mean the kind of changes DARWIN meant- the kind that turn worms into fish into lizards into apes and into atheists, then, sadly, there is not only NO evidence for it, but it violates every branch of science and several established laws of logic and math- such as “You cannot ADD by SUBTRACTING.”
If he DID answer your request for evidence, he would prove that DOGS can evolve into OTHER DOGS. And I must admit that there is fairly good evidence that dogs can give rise to dogs. This is the ONLY evidence evolutionists CAN come up with, which is why they have to change the definition of “Evolution” just as they did with the word “Atheism.” Watering down definitions until they are meaningless is a big thing for these guys.
And as he says of Adam and Eve that the account ” lacks any such evidence beyond the Bible” he clearly is not studied up on genetic studies, such as that of “Mitochondrial Eve”, which when not FORCED to return deep time/evolutionary dates by faking the numbers, returns (According to the evolutionists who published the study in peer reviewed scientific literature) a date for Eve as the FIRST WOMAN- mother of all- of between 5 and 7 thousand years ago. And of course, that’s just one genetic study which supports the Genesis account. There is FAR more which I know will not interest them as one of the Atheist’s mottos is, “What I don’t know can’t convince me!” Which, ok, SOUNDS terrible, but it looks BOSS on their T Shirts.
And by blanketly asserting an indefensible scientific model that violates actual LAWS of science and which forces one to ignore observational science in favor of one’s preconceived model- he has proven my point about Evolutionists being much like flat earthers. So, thanks to Steve for supporting my argument, even if he intended to avoid making a case against it. 😉
The Orange guy is just delightful.
I’m going to step out here and disagree with comparing flat earthers to atheists. Flat earthers actually serve a vital purpose, like inspiring some pretty comedic memes. Nothing is funnier then reading things like how, “we flat earthers now have members all over the globe.” Say that again guys, just much slower. But they also remind us to think critically, to examine our well established beliefs, to question what we think we know. Scientism has obviously become an idol, a god who shall not be questioned. To say the earth is round is to form a rational conclusion…but it still requires us to put our faith in a belief, in our own capacity for reason, in the work others have done, in photographs we trust are legit. The earth as a globe is actually an unseen belief of ours, a bit like the moon being made of green cheese. Have you been there? Do you know it really isn’t? Of course not, we are trusting in the testimony of others.
So,my official stance is that flat earthers are way smarter than atheists, they are asking some vital questions, and they are more scientifically rooted in truth and evidence based observation then atheists can even dream of. The idea that the Earth is flat is about as crazy as the idea that there might be more then one dimension or that a mysterious quantum world may exist or that traveling at the speed of light may actually cause us to go backwards. Science, the real kind, dares to ask the crazy questions.
All atheists ever do is sit around murmering about how much smarter they are then everyone else and then congratulating one another for having had this great epiphany.
Lol!
You’re fairly delightful yourself, IB.
Thanks for the perspective.
Rock solid reasoning.
I can’t find fault with it. 😀
I actually first heard of the flat earther phenomenon from a comedy video by JP Sears (https://youtu.be/KvAk9718Jo8). I didn’t even know people took this stuff seriously. Makes great comedy, though!
Btw, the logical interpolations of flat earthers and evolutionists are remarkably similar. I agree, Bryan is spot on here.
Bryan made an observation about wind chill that was equally astute. You should go read his blog.
Link to Orange doesn’t work. Perhaps it’s still evolving?
I linked to my wordpress feed. Apparently, that is not the correct way to do it.
Try it now.
Hunkie Dori!
Yes! One of your former atheist commentators accused me of being a flat-Earther! Sorry, my Dad helped send astronaut friends into space and to the moon.
It feels terrible being ridiculed for something you aren’t. I guess that’s why atheists love to ridicule and hurt Christians with utter, ridiculous nonsense that they believe about us.
You’d think, if they “were the only ones logical and scientific”, they wouldn’t perpetuate falsehoods (lies) and be gleefully trashing gentle, attempting to be kind, caring, truth-seeking Christians (many of whom are scientists, delighting in exploring this amazing round world and incredible universe we’ve been given to play in).
I get embarrassed by flat-earthers, and rather annoyed some booger-brained person assumes I believe it, too.
Well, thank you, sir!
Always nice to get a little positive feedback before the atheists stop by to tell me I’m an idiot without actually making a case against my point. I think you know how I feel. We should start a union or something.
You are a known quantity. The gaggle of godless goons will probably not comment on your post. They quit commenting here a few months ago because they think it “drives me nuts” when I don’t hear from them.
I’m going to work up some comedy based on your last two posts. Don’t know if it’ll be “good comedy” but I’m gonna give it a shot.
…also…Serious question.
Why doesn’t Spartan hate your guts as much as he does mine? My theory is that you employ more gentle humor. I haven’t read all your conversations but you seem to have a more open channel of communication than he affords me.
