Creationists: Evolution Is For 'Gullible' People Who 'Rely On Silly Stories'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Friday, 12/20/2013 3:00 pm

Dr. John Morris of the Institute for Creation Research thinks that “no truly helpful discovery has come from evolution” since evolution proponents, unlike Creationists, “rely on silly evolutionary stories to make us believe it.” He told co-host Chris O’Brien in a radio bulletin today that evolution fails because it “ought to be obvious” and “people are not gullible enough to think that a frog change into a prince.”

about the discovery of whale fossils that were 15 millions years old along the Potomac. He snorted and remarked that nothing could be that old. "Some people will believe anything", he stated. I had to leave the room to keep from laughing to his face.

It just amazes me that a person who I consider to be reasonable intelligent will dismiss scientific evidence while proclaiming a 2,000 year old book of mythology to be the absolute basis of fact on just about any subject.
