Dumbest Things Heard In School

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

in my biology class a girl asked if the platypus was real.

Well, those things are pretty fucking unbelievable.

Amazing creatures they are, absolutely amazing.

The Platypus is proof that God drops acid.

Hmm I consider myself a true Christian and I strongly believe in god, but the whole "evolution is gods weapon of choice" makes the most sense. It has the facts of science behind it, and it explains how it all started. If that makes me a sinner, then I'm gonna be sitting in hell.

Interesting, personally I choose not to believe in evolution as in my opinion the origin of the universe cannot be debated using scientific arguments as both sides are too bais to look objectivly at the facts. Atheists hate God then seek to post rationalise this hatred/unbelief, hey presto, theory of evolution, gerat excuse for not believeing in God.

Whereas creationists love God (that in no way means you don't) and so post rationalise their belief as well. In other words people make a desecsion on what to belief then bugger off to find evidence for it.

Also theologically Christianity and evolution don't mix. Sin entered the world with humaminty. Death entered the world as sin entered the world. But evolution requires lots of deaths to even reach the stage of humanity. Therefore the two cannot be recognisled. After all if death did not enter the world through sin then Jesus dying on the cross was pointless.

I think you're looking too far into the extremes. Every Christian ins't a crazy fanatic. and I'm shure that every Athiest doesn't "Hate God"...like a true Atheist doesn't believe in god, so he has nothing to hate. Just like you don't hate ghosts if you think there just "old wives tales"(Of course, I myself am not Aithiest so if an Athiest could correct me if I'm wrong that would be great).

Neither side has all the answers. Science has proof, but it fails to explain alot of things. Religion has a nice way of explaining everything, but alot of what it says can't be proven, you either believe it or not. Thats why combining each works. You have all the proof to what has been clearly seen, and you have all the answers for which can't be proven.

And yes, each theory would have to be editted a bit. Is the world a couple thousand years old? Of course not. Is there a god? of course. Both theories would have to sacrifice some ground. And unfortunately for the Fanatics, religion would give up more ground, as alot of things have been disproven.

Like I said, why do people find it so hard to believe that god created the universe as science has proven. God is still there, and science if proving his work. Seems like a perfect version to me, but the Fanatics on either side still have to be immature and call "bullshit" on each idea the other side puts out.

I'm not going to argue the final paragraph because you seem to know alot more about scipture than I do, so I'm going to take your word on it.

Interesting, personally I choose not to believe in evolution as in my opinion the origin of the universe cannot be debated using scientific arguments as both sides are too bais to look objectivly at the facts. Atheists hate God then seek to post rationalise this hatred/unbelief, hey presto, theory of evolution, gerat excuse for not believeing in God.

Er...what? Evolution is scientific. You may as well claim that people who study natural disasters, like say Earthquakes, are doing it just 'cause they hate Loki. I don't hate God any more than I hate Leprechauns. And, something about the origin of the universe...? Evolution has absolutely nothing to do with the origin of the universe.

Whereas creationists love God (that in no way means you don't) and so post rationalise their belief as well. In other words people make a desecsion on what to belief then bugger off to find evidence for it.

True true, though the difference is evolution actually has evidence, whereas creationism is a pseudo-science.

Also theologically Christianity and evolution don't mix. Sin entered the world with humaminty. Death entered the world as sin entered the world. But evolution requires lots of deaths to even reach the stage of humanity. Therefore the two cannot be recognisled.

It's cool that you believe this, really. I actually have no problem with religion for the most part. Just keep it out of science class and there's no problem.

OT: I saw one similar like this somewhere else in the topic I think, but anyway:

We were discussing prejudice in class, and of course the topic of Jews came up (those poor guys get a lot of shit). I mention the word "Judaism"...

Retarded Girl: What's Judaism?
Me: It's a religion, the practitioners are called Jews, though they're kind of an ethnic group as well...
RG: Wait, so race and religion are the same thing?
Me: No, no, not at all, it's just...
RG: But that doesn't make sense! Christian isn't a race!
Me: Fuck, why do I even try.

Er, sorry about the origin of the universe slip up I forget that I'm not speaking to some pleb who thinks evolution covers the big bang as well. Either way I don't think the origin of life or the universe or humanity can be explained via science.

And most atheists I have spoken to will admit to hating God (or rather the "concept" of God). There's more than a few verses in the Bible about the natural (sinful) man hating God. But quoting the Bible to you is pointless as is replying. "They will have ears but cannot hear, eyes and cannot see". Another Bible quote about the inability of Christians to explain the Gospel or anything to do with God to people without the Holy Spirit working in that person.

Basically I recommend reading the Bible. Not because of what you have said but because I want everyone to read the Bible.

Perhaps not, but this still falls outside of evolution.

Yeah...I'm not sure who you've been talking to. These sound more like anti-theists to me. There's a big difference.

Basically I recommend reading the Bible. Not because of what you have said but because I want everyone to read the Bible.

So...you just assume I haven't read the bible? I have, actually. I have quite a collection of religious texts. Bhagavad Gita, Tao Te Ching, etc. etc. I have read the bible, and it's a decent book full of moral stories (that should NOT be taken literally) and laws and customs true to the time in which it was written, i.e. not to be considered in modern society.

This is about as far off topic as we can get, by the way. Just PM me if you feel like responding so we don't clog up this thread with more religious stuff.

Holy shit, you're stupid.

Evolution has plenty of evidence, especially the part where it's been observed in flies and bacteria. Atheists do not hate god either. Do you hate Santa Clause? Leprechauns? And lots of religious people believe the theory of evolution as well.

And what you posted regarding creationism is the exact opposite of what you should do. You're making shit up and looking for evidence that specifically supports it. What you should be doing is looking at evidence, all of it, not just what you like, and drawing a conclusion from it.

And theologically, Christianity and evolution don't mix. You're right. But evolution has been proven, so what does that say about Christianity? And evolution does not require any deaths actually. Only births.

I could go on and on, but I just wanted to tell you how every point there is fundamentally flawed. Also, get a spellchecker.

And just to avoid you BSing about evolution:

OT:

In my grade 10 honors English class, we were discussing fairy tales.

Teacher: Originally, they were stories told to keep children out of the woods and other dangerous places, and the bad guys were bandits and thieves. Over time, as things became safer, they became general warnings, and the antagonists changed to things like werewolves.
Dumb girl: Oh my god! Are werewolves real?

Yes, that was a real occurrence. You could tell the teacher wanted to hit her or something, but as a professional, she had to defend the idiot's question. Another instance, with the same girl.

Teacher: (discussing genocide) And these groups were... Brittany and Jessica!
Dumb girl's friend (Brittany): Sorry Miss, I was just telling Jessica the difference between 'genocide' and 'guarantee.'

 

[Zildjin81]

The one I find the saddest is when people can't find Iraq on a map.

You realize that most Americans can't find the U.S.A. on a globe right?

I challenge you to show me some evidence of that. If by most you mean "some bimbo that was on TV" then yeah, I guess you're right though.

"Class today we are going to be finding the limit to infinity."

Epic confusion for the first hour of class.

Alright believe what you will. Sorry if the term "Fanatic" offended you, it was the only term I could think of to descirbe people on the far sides of the debate.

And thank you, it is indeed hard to find someone of oposing view on the internet who is courteous, I glad we have managed to keep it civil.

"I don't know why everyone's so mean to Hitler"
"... what?"
"I mean, last year everyone kept just being mean to him. He couldn't have been that bad, right?"


If you're going to say that at least have some sort of reasoning, like Stalin killed more people.

 

[king arts]

a kid who peps where making fun of said "leave me the darn alone"......lol

 

[WorldCritic]

Teacher: Today we'll be talking about how Hitler rose to power.
Kid: Teacher, who's Hitler? And what does genocide mean?
High school by the way.

 

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

There was a pair of dumb racist women trying to annoy us by chucking cane sugar in me and my dad's general direction when we weren't looking on a train station. We are chinese, so they tried to communicate with us to make more fun of us.

Them:"Nihama?!" (butchering chinese for Hello was instant fail in our eyes)
Us:*raise eyebrow, pretend not to understand.*
Them:"That's chinese right? You're chinese, right?"
my Dad: "No, we're Korean."
Them:"Ah" *long silence as one of the girls visibly tries very hard to think* "What's the difference between Korea and China?"

Apologies to all the naturally-blonde men and women out there, but that was one of the biggest dumb-blonde moments I've ever witnessed. I couldn't stop laughing after we ditched them.

 

[dreadmaster]

ok i got one that pissed me fucking off 5 pages of how comunism is cool ...

i asked why

i leave and get written up for a week

 

[badgersprite]

Wow. Some of the stuff I've seen here makes the dumb things I've heard look like Oscar Wilde. XD

I still have a few things though.

In Year 12 Modern History class - "Hamas are Israeli, right?" Mind you, we had been studying the Arab-Israeli conflict for three months and this was right as the bombing of Gaza was taking place.

During a total blackout - "I know how we can get light! Let's just use the projector!" ...The projector that plugs into the wall? oO

Teacher: The bubonic plague wasn't actually spread by rats, but by the fleas in their fur.
Dumb kid: Why didn't they just kill all the fleas?
Me: ...With what?
After a long pause, the dumb kid abruptly realised they hadn't invented bug spray yet.

 

[AWC Viper]

in my History Class.

Girl 1: who is Stalin?
girl 2: it's Pronounced Lenin. and he started WW2 and started communism
Girl 3: NO. it was the Nazi's who started Communism.
Me: *FACEPALM*

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

I love this one. Has nothing to do with school, but this girl is easily the stupidest person you've ever met.


So I was talking to my teacher about what music he liked, and he told me "The Beatles"

So the girl asks


"Who are the Beatles?"

Then on a later note, we were talking about Hitman and I said "James Bond could kill Agent 47 anyday"


Now if she asked "Who's Agent 47?" It'd be fine. But no. I got a whole whouping


"Killings wrong, and who's James Bond?"


*facepalm*

 

[A Weary Exile]

in my History Class.

Girl 1: who is Stalin?
girl 2: it's Pronounced Lenin. and he started WW2 and started communism
Girl 3: NO. it was the Nazi's who started Communism.
Me: *FACEPALM*

These damn kids need to learn their totalitarian dictators or they'll never get ahead in life! That many idiots in one place should be illegal.

OP:Anytime someone shouts out "Let's just nuke the Middle-east!!" which happens more often than you'd think.
