I think Robert's point is that Dr. Harrub used the image to show what Earth looked like "in the beginning", when it was all water. Re: everyone burning in hell - someone posted this link on an ex-christian site. It's a video of John Spong asserting that hell is meant to be understood metaphorically. I also came upon this earlier today. Read the comments, then tell me these people shouldn't be under lock and key.

Syldoran:

how could nobody else tell that that’s not a picture of Earth?

It’s exactly what they think the Earth looks like. They’re convinced that almost everybody in the world is going to burn in hell. That picture is what it would look like.

How . . . how could nobody else tell that that’s not a picture of Earth? Especially if compared side-by-side with an actual picture?

I’m confused.

I suppose that happens when your scientists lie to you about the world . . .

I still have had no response from the pastor. I wonder if he has even read my letter. Oh well, I knew my effort would probably fall on deaf ears.

Here’s a gem from the conference that I haven’t written about yet.

Dr. Harrub claims that God first created the earth as a water world without any landmasses (Gen 1:2,6). On his slide he showed a picture of a bluish sphere to represent the water world of the early earth and a picture of earth from space to represent earth as it is right now.

Fine! Right? Well, I recognized the bluish sphere that Dr. Harrub used to represent the watery earth. It is here.

Yep! It’s a SOHO picture of The Sun. I laughed out loud when I saw that. No one else seemed to get it.

Thought you guys would like that.

Thanks for the shout out, Ron.

Ah, but is he willfully retarded?

I’ve come to the conclusion that he is incapable of comprehending what he has been told. Therefore, he is retarded.

I agree with PaulJ. I cut Comfort no slack. He has an agenda and willfully ignores any and all fact checking on his arguments. I would only cut a fundie slack if they genuinely did not understand the process -or- if they stop arguing the same falicious point (ZOMG second law of thermodynamics) once it was pointed out how wrong they were.

The bulk of the people who mis-state the scientific side are simpletons like Ray Comfort. He is an uneducated rube with no intellectual capacity. He can be forgiven for being retarded.

I think you cut Ray Comfort too much slack. Ignorance is no crime, but Comfort has been told repeatedly and in detail where he’s getting evolution egregiously wrong, yet he persists in misrepresenting it. The phrase “lying for Jesus” comes to mind….

Thanks for reporting on “Darwin was Wrong” — I’m keen to read the final installment(s). And I’ll definitely check out Robert Madewell’s experience.
