Your challenge meets the same result regardless of whether God exists or does not exist; thus, it is not a useful challenge. --[[User:Benp|Benp]] 18:03, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

''If God does not exist, then we obviously cannot explain Him or the mechanisms by which He works His wonders.'' It would probably be more appropriate to say "If god does not exist, then we had better give up trying to explain things that do not exist. Speaking personally, though, I think I'd be much more interested in Jack if I believed he WAS being controlled by a hyper-intelligent slug alien from a distant galaxy, if only to know how they circumvented the light speed barrier. -Drek

I understand this isn't quite what you said, but it eventually led to it, so while I do not necessarily direct this to you, Ymmtrojam, I certainly direct it at a few of the members of this site. Thanks, and Lightspeed.--[[User:JackSmith|JackSmith]] 14:11, 17 June 2008 (EDT)

This is just silly. The vast majority of creationists are not like PJR: they do not have even the skein of science over it. While I think he is wrong and so are the "creation scientists" who go through their elaborate contortions, they are a step up from the average. The average creationist believes God created the world, and that is that. Nothing more to it. If there is any proof otherwise, they believe he created it and so it is moot. This is why I am a Last Thursdayist, since I think the universe was created last Thursday, somewhere around three in the afternoon. It's also why this challenge is pointless. And even if it wasn't, it is irrational and poorly phrased. Knock it off and quit being a Hitchens, JackSmith.--[[user:TomMoore|<font color="#000066" >Tom Moore</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:TomMoore|fiat justitia ruat coelum]]</sup> 14:27, 17 June 2008 (EDT)
