Comments on: Ray Comfort apologizes for banana illustration http://bible-matters.com/ray-comfort-apologizes-for-banana-illustration/ The Ministry Website of Andrew Drapper Wed, 01 Sep 2010 16:14:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: ZoDigital http://bible-matters.com/ray-comfort-apologizes-for-banana-illustration/comment-page-1/#comment-269 ZoDigital Tue, 15 Dec 2009 07:40:59 +0000 http://bible-matters.com/?p=769#comment-269 It is interesting how mankind continues to flaunt his intellect as if he knows everything there is to know about everything in existence. With this knowledge they appoint themselves as arbitors of all knowledge and put themselves in a place of authority, determining truth themselves and for everyone else. I'm reluctant to follow the lead and self appointed authority of someone who eats food and breathes air like me, and also dies, like me. How do we know what we know? It's because it's been revealed to us by someone or something. The question is, can that someone or something be trusted? Given the history of mankind, I can't trust mankind and what man reveals to me. I can, however, trust God and His word. His word transcends even the thoughts of self appointed, dying, sinful, "truth" sayers.

If we have comments it would be good if they where more about the argument than about abuse. Name calling is not very grown up, it is called an ad hominem attach and is pore debate.

And please keep his crazy notions away from your children. A couple of choice comments on this I saw on the blog: "That Eugenie Scott, the educator's educator, has to waste her time responding to Ray Comfort, the idiot's idiot, is such a shame. Needless to say, she does a fantastic job, but she might as well be explaining relativity to a chimp." and "Unfortunately, even replying to idiots like Ray gives them more credit than they deserve. This mental midget and his studied stupidity really just need to be ignored or laughed out of town." Check out this link for a response to Ray Comfort’s latest wheeze of re-issuing the Origin of Species with a creationist prologue and then giving it way for free – for ‘education’.
