Hey @Northerner, I keep meaning to ask this and am only just getting around to it. How’d that Creationist essay you were doing for college go? How was it received?

I got 93% on the first draft and 94 on the revision, so not badly at all, I’d say :).
Oh yikes, that sounds really good. Sheesh. Did the professors or whoever think you were weird, or is it normal for them to get Christian stuff in a secular college?
Umm. . . well, it was the first time I’d had that particular teacher, but with others in the department, I know, I have a bit of a. . . reputation? And I talked like that in class all semester, so he probably had fair warning.
It is not normal for the college as a whole, but I’ve met two Creationists there, one of whom was in Philosophy, so it’s not unheard-of. Still rare, still misunderstood (like people brushing the topic off by saying, “Practically all Christians have accepted evolution a long time ago, so it’s not an issue anymore even for them”), but not the weirdest topic that’s come up either.
Well good. Could be worse for sure. 😀
(And that argument is so lame. *sigh*)
It could be a lot worse. But people bend themselves backwards to not appear prejudiced or discriminatory so much that they kind of have to do it for me whether they mean it or no. . . which gets kind of fun (yes, I enjoy a rousing debate, how did you guess?).
(Ugh, yes, it is. People keep saying it, though, and then I have to go and explain that actually quite a few of us don’t believe in it, and. . . yeah.)
Have you seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d4FHHf00pY It’s quite funny.
You’re an NTP, of course you’d find that kind of thing fun. XD
It’s so hilarious though, because they probably wouldn’t worry about it—at least not so much?—if they were dead certain your view was wrong. I dunno.
HA! That video. It’s perfect. Those are some smart Neanderthals. I LOVE when those arguments are shown out for their circular reasoning. Logical fallacies are one of my favorite things. In other people’s arguments. 😉
