Good comedy bit on homeopathic medicine.
I have a new friend out here who started working at my school a month ago. Cool guy, goes out and drinks, premarital sex, no worries, but says he is religious and christian based. saw Jars of clay and other christian rock on his computer the other day and picked a debate with him because him and these two hot-new girls in my area are religious and I want to make my beliefs (or lack thereof) known before I get stuck with them in some lame social situation where its 3 against one. Anyways, he said to me verbatim these two lines:
"Science doesn't know EVERYTHING" (see video above) and
" I wish my pastor was here right now. "
My response to the first one was exactly how it was in the above video: Science knows it doesn't know everything, thats why its still around, otherwise it would stop. He didn't have much to say to that.
My response to the second one was "Even if he was here, what answers could he possibly give me that you couldn't? Does he know something neither you nor I, both educated individuals in the primes of our lives don't know?
After that I tried to explain the concepts of FSM and Russell's teapot to him but to no avail. Another buddy of mine sent me this link tonight, I think its pretty good:
LOLOL I had posted the above link before i finished the video, the last 5 seconds is gold but you have to watch the whole video to realize how asinine it is. Wow.
