Over and over again, Ray states falsehoods and draws on common misunderstandings of science (such as cats giving birth to dogs, and how a male and female must evolve separately at exactly the same time). Maybe he doesn't invent creationist nonsense and pass it off as science, but he tries to discredit science (and falsely elevate his own understanding to the same level as PhD evolutionary biologists).<br /><br />Make no mistake, Ray Comfort is just as anti-science as Ham and Hovind.<br /><br />This whole giveaway didn't even make sense to me. His stated reason was not to evangelize but to show atheists that christians are capable of loving strangers. I have my doubts though and suspect that he is saving the addresses.fuuuuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00405240043522723435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442773712288154969.post-67281290923085014272010-02-26T14:05:03.967-08:002010-02-26T14:05:03.967-08:00You know, I kinda think that Ray has bought dinner...You know, I kinda think that Ray has bought dinner for a few people. He probably capped it when he realized how much money was involved, but I have no problem believing that Ray was sincere in his offer.<br /><br />Ray is a bit different than other evangelists. He's not really a creationist in the same sense that Ken Ham or Eric Hovind is. Sure, he goes with the argument from design, but I haven't heard him get into the science too much. The bannana argument is just the same old argument from design that he does with everything else. He doesn't seem to invent his own science like Ham or Hovind does.<br /><br />One thing that I can admire about comfort is that he does allow comments. I know he threatens to delete comments over silly capitalization rules, but I haven't had him do that to me in the past. (I did forget a few times.) Compare Ray's comment policy to the comment policy of Ken Ham. That is, of course, no comments allowed at all because he is afraid of criticism.<br /><br />Eric Hovind, on the other hand, tried to do a Ray Comfort style comment policy, but failed. Now, Eric rarely even posts articles on his blog.<br /><br />Some can do it, others can't.Robert Madewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237253238274655114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442773712288154969.post-66574280708961216132010-02-26T00:31:34.069-08:002010-02-26T00:31:34.069-08:00High class soup kitchen?High class soup kitchen?Temaskianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18068174414758327939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7442773712288154969.post-90243806421578180892010-02-25T22:06:49.632-08:002010-02-25T22:06:49.632-08:00Red Lobster, huh?

I probably shouldn't have done it, but oh well. I was a bit put off.<br /><br />Maybe, I felt entitled to something because he had quoted me in an article and flyer. That, of course, is selfish and immature on my part. Now, I feel bad.<br /><br />That being said, I really don't want or need anything from The Bannana Man. I shouldn't be asking him for anything, even if he offers it. However, I am seriously thinking about pulling the stunt with a DQ card for a bannana split. He has been nice (though for ulterior motives). So maybe, he deserves someone buying him something for a change.
