Creationist offers $10K to prove Bible wrong
The Literal Genesis Trial Contest is detailed at the Creation Science Hall of Fame "Honoring those who honored God's Word as literally written in Genesis" where the challenge is addressed, in good competitive spirit, to theistic evolutionists, allegoricallists, and "all you 'Long Agers.'"
According to contest rules, a mini-trial will be held in a courthouse where the contestant and Mastropaolo are to each put $10,000 in escrow. A superior court justice will decide which party prevails and is awarded the $20,000. (The Creation Science Hall of Fame is hosting the challenge but says it is not a party to the judge or any other entity involved.)
If you plan on arriving with a high schooler's grasp of evolution and a copy of Darwin's "On the Origin of Species," well, may God be with you. Mastropaolo is a highly educated, highly accomplished scientist. He's a recognized expert in kinesiology (the scientific study of body movement, aka human kinetics) and a recipient of Vice Presidential Awards for his studies on life in space.
And he believes that evolution cannot be proved. |
Note that the judge does not have to know any science. As Mooner says on facebook, "The fix is in."

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.
Why not question something for a change?

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.
Another example of this guy's lunacy here. |

You can't have a judge who knows any science, that'd just be someone already brainwashed with this evolution nonsense!  |

It's certainly not "The Challenge, by the JREF", an offer exceeding $1.1 million today to anyone who can demonstrate some supernatural or paranormal ability. First conceived and offered by James Randi in 1964, which started out as $1,000. Which will be coming up to it's 50th anniversary next year. They really should do something special for this milestone.
Link.
Where did Randi get this great idea for a Challenge?
During a live radio panel discussion, James Randi was challenged by a parapsychologist to "put [his] money where [his] mouth is", and Randi responded by offering to pay $1,000 to anyone who could demonstrate paranormal powers in a controlled test. |
It's certainly not anything close, do to the simple money grubbing requirement that the challenger must put up $10,000 to take the challenge. The JREF's challenge has never held any money requirement, ever! Only a fool capable of throwing away their money would be stupid enough to take this suckers bait.
| Mastropaolo's bio indicates he has already scientifically proved that Adam and Eve were genetically perfect, that "ape-men are frauds" and that the Earth is 6,800 years old, give or take eight and a half centuries. |
I contend they couldn't have be proven they were "genetically perfect", if they haven't in fact been scientifically proven first to have ever existed. People who never existed have no genetics. 
Talking to people that hold these scientifically laughable lies is a waste of time.
