Hey, Snopes! “Fact check ”this:
Where do we come from? Why are we here? These are questions a lot of people agonize over, though we’re usually too busy doing more expedient stuff like watching Netflix. But, because y’all insisted, we got our lazy behinds off the couch and started researching the whole creationism vs. evolution thing. We watched YouTube videos, visited the Ark Encounter, and binged every episode of Bill Nye Saves the World. Several interns died to bring us this information, so please cherish it.
Origins
Creationism: Man looked around at creation and was like, “Yep, this was definitely designed. Only an idiot would think otherwise.”
Evolution: It all began when a guy sailed to an island and saw a bunch of birds with different sizes of beaks which of course can only mean God is dead.
“The Bee Explains: Creationism Vs. Evolution” at Babylon Bee
Background re Snopes: For whatever reason, the once-useful rumour-squelching site, Snopes, took to “fact-checking” the Bee. The result was funny if you weren’t involved: “In 2018, after Snopes fact-checked a Bee article titled “CNN Purchases Industrial-Sized Washing Machine to Spin News Before Publication” (no, really), Facebook warned the Bee that it could be penalized with reduced distribution and demonetization. Facebook later apologized for its warning.”
That’s emblematic of what’s wrong when media services like Snopes experience a need to suck up to the progressive elite.
You can donate/subscribe to the Bee and tell Facebook where the bus stop is. The way things are going, we will all need to seek out indie news—truth or satire. You really don’t want to live in a place where it is dangerous or illegal to be funny.
So you are comfortable with shielding certain claims from being checked for factual accuracy? This does not include claims from evolutionary biology, of course. They are fair game, I assume. So what are the criteria for deciding what should be checked and what shouldn’t?
Seversky, we are agnostic about whether CNN purchased “Industrial-Sized Washing Machine to Spin News Before Publication” but can’t imagine attempting to fact check the story.
“birds with different sizes of beaks which of course can only mean God is dead. ”
yeah, like to have different beak sizes on the same head would be something simple (from an engineering point of view) … but for a biologist, everything is simple and easy to do, because a biologist never made anything … It is like in some mental hospital …
Creationism: Man looked around at creation and was like, “Yep, this was definitely designed. Only an idiot would think otherwise.”
yes, that is very true. Only an Idiot would think otherwise.
Especially, in 21st century, to think, that an autonomous self-navigating flying systems self-designed, with no help from engineers, yes, only an idiot and 19th century scientists could think that this is what happened. Moreover, these Darwinian scientists claim, that these sophisticated autonomous self-navigating flying systems self-designed several times independently… (insects, dinos, birds, mammals)
By the way, to design an autonomous self-navigating flying system in a size of a fruit fly, it is even in 21st century an engineering SCI-FI.
an engineering SCI-FI.
an engineering SCI-FI.
But biologists (natural science graduates) have their Darwinian religion, that allows to believe in really really absurd things.
This theory is not only very absurd, but it is also very offensive, all engineers should stand up.

It is very important to differentiate betwen what science is and what philosophical materialism/ atheism “deduces” from the findings of science (philosophical “materialism” being then just an unwarranted belief). One that preys on fools to be more precise.
What science is concerned with:
All the philosophical baggage materialists force upon science to make their silly superstition look as “legit/ true”:
While (1-4) are necessary premises of natural science, the remainder (5-10) consists of ontological philosophical claims about the world, which—although they talk about the same physical entities that science deals with– do not, as purely philosophical assertions, derive any authority from natural science.
Meta- physical “materialism” is NOT science.
Excellent OP. Martin_r and Denyse, you always make me 🙂
Thanks for another day of ‘News’!
