Creationist offers $10K to prove Bible wrong- The Daily Dose - MSN Living

So basically this is like the guy that offered up the reward to prove psychic abilities is real.

This guy is offering 10K to anyone that can prove the book of Genesis wrong. Just be warned. He even admits its rigged at the end of the article.

I noticed that anyone who takes part in this challenge brings 10K to the table and if they loose they are out some pocket change. This should be interesting to follow, if it is possible to follow. Both believers and non-believers will have to have a lot of faith.

Wow really? there is no proof that earth is only 6,800 years old.......
This is a no win situation, no matter the evidence and proof you bring to the table he will dismiss it, to drop 10k on a argument with a guy who apprently doesn't believe Dinosaurs were real is just silly.

Yeah and if you read the end, he says that he already knows that there is no scientific proof to prove otherwise. So it's lose lose. And I'm sure he's going to be the judge and jury.. so it's really just a propaganda stunt. Which is working. It's a neat story to read. Really fires people up.

 

[BlastTyrant]

Lol very true, and people will try it so he is going to make allot of money, assuming there is someone out there who is prepared for a situation such as this and ready to bring him down, but your right his mind is made up and no matter of evidence will change his mind, short of jesus coming down and slapping him in the back of the head.

I was really disappointed at this. I was really hoping that it would be on the level and we'd see some very intelligent talks on some levels above what us "peons" do.. You know, maybe like matches. The Pope Vs BT.. or Muhammed Vs JD. Something like that. Sign up, show your credentials and get ready for the chance at 10K to debate something on a large forum level. But it appears its nothing more than a parlor trick. Oh well.

That's right JD...You and Blast bring your 10K to the table and let us know how it went. Maybe it would be safer if you talked him into letting me hold onto the cash while you debate, but I don't know about that being safer, as I am a little short of cash, so that might not be a smart idea either.

 

[Justinian]

HAHA.. my bank knows better than to give me that much cash at one time. Last time didn't go so well.

It's a loaded bet. That is if you don't read the bible, so how would you know other than to believe crackpots like me to tell you that there is no mention in Genesis that in the 'Beginning that the supreme being actually created earth or the world for that matter. He created light, then seas, then birds, then animals that crept over the dry land and then man and he placed them all on this planet that we call earth. How long earth was around before this account of creation, is anyone's guess, but it seemed like a handy place (earth) that was readily available at the time ... just kill off the dinosaurs that would eat all that you created and "Sha-zaam!" Enter Creation! Which by the way, is accurate when you account for the fossil evidence that predates Creation by millenniums ... what you say?

 

[Justinian]

Sounds plausible. I guess I was just really hoping when I saw the original title of the news story that this would be a true blue neutral debate with neutral judges and all that. Guess we'll have to wait another 2000 years to see that.
