Looks like Libby Ann of the Love, Joy and Feminism blog has said something that pissed off Ken Ham.

Well, she has some things to say back to him.

Quoting Dr. Purdom here:

Libby doesnt say whether she attended a Christian or secular college. Sadly, in the USA today there isnt much difference between the two types of schools concerning Genesisand even the authority of the Bibleas surveys in Already Compromised showed. Either way, she was challenged, fought for a while, and gave up. Its difficult to say why, but she does seem to have some misunderstandings about Genesis and the Bible despite her exposure to creation apologetics.


I want two make two points in response. First, if the only way to preserve your creationist beliefs is to not have them challenged i.e. not attend a college that teaches any contrary view that says more about your beliefs than anything else.


She says some more stuff then:

Second, I find the last part of this paragraph a bit insulting. Dr. Purdom doesnt know me, and she wasnt there when I was in college. The idea that I "fought for a while" and then "gave up" is ludicrous. I fought for months. And it wasnt a college professor I was fighting, either. It was another student in my dorm, a student who found science and evolution fascinating and was himself fairly agnostic. I spent almost an entire year arguing with him about creation and evolution daily, and I continually went back to my sources, reread my books, and made sure I was using every young earth creationist argument in the book. I even took him to an Answers in Genesis conference. Thats not fighting "for a while".

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

I can see a problem here. It's not that I'm ignoring the_ignored or this thread but try as I might I can't find it in me to give a shit about this, sorry.

There are only two types of religious people, the deceivers and the deceived. SS

Almost reads like the Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis.
