A Bit of Orange

Political commentator and Olympic ribbon dancer Matt Walsh recently started a firestorm on social media when he decided to prove to his followers how stupid and opposed to science Young Earth Biblical Creationists are by proving how he himself knew nothing about the Young Earth Biblical Creation position. He not only didn’t do any research before calling out Ken Ham and all like-minded persons on the old social medias, but he seemed OFFENDED at the suggestion that he take the time to see what Answers In Genesis actually SAYS before calling them out for being a national disgrace.

Looks like SOMEONE is thinking about applying for a position at CNN. All Walsh needs to do is start referring to President Trump as “The Orange Nazi” and he’s got a spot at the big desk next to Don “Citrus” Lemon. But I digress. Continue reading →

A few weeks before the writing of this article, conservative author, speaker and toaster strudel enthusiast Matt Walsh decided that the excitement over the mid-term elections has been simply too much for him, and he chose to lighten the mood for his followers on social media by spending time explaining how stupid Biblical Creationists like me are, in case they had somehow not heard directly from Bill Nye about the matter.

It seems that various Christian bloggers and podcasters were inspired by Walsh’s attempt to take Ken Ham down a peg and joined in the social media attack against not only Ken Ham personally, but all of the rest of us Young Earth Creationists by proxy.

I know you are waiting on the edge of your seat to hear what arguments they used to show the weakness of our position, but it seems that the best they could offer was ascribing to us a collection of mental and emotional deficiencies as well as an apparently weak faith which is incapable of sustaining the simplest of questions leveled at the Bible.

I guess they are saving up all of their logic, reason, evidence, and rational arguments to use against…

Mormons? Agnostic Lesbians? I don’t know. But whatever they are saving it up for must be important because they did not waste a DROP on this discussion. Continue reading →

Not too long ago, conservative philosopher and millionaire playboy Matt Walsh chose to take to the Social Medias to explain to the world that Young Earth Biblical Creationists are mouth breathing, science-hating, inbred morons. I’m not sure what motivated this series of videos and Tweets. I suppose he wanted to do something special for the Thanksgiving Holiday other than the traditional “Historical Origin of Thanksgiving” which Rush Limbaugh contents himself with every year at this time.

Admittedly, this was a refreshing change of pace.

However, what Matt Walsh (good intentioned as I am sure he was) failed to explain in any detail is WHY Biblical Creationists are wrong. On the contrary, it SEEMS that he managed to prove with his various arguments and examples that he is- at least on this one topic–  a Big Idiot.*  Continue reading →
