Real Science Friday: Anti-Creationist AronRa YouTube Star

[Nick M]

Four mentions of AronRa, all from Bob Enyart.

Who? Is there a reason you googled a screen name to look up scientific research? Evolutionism is false. The world was created.

Sod did it. I just took a look. He discovered that only Bob Enyart characterized this guy as a leading anti-creationist.

Nice work, Sod.

Good one Nick!

Your google search says it all, um? Four mentions of AronRa, all from Bob Enyart. No one else seems to think he's one of the leading anti-creationists on the web or anywhere else, for that matter.

Thanks for showing us that.

Well of course. "Watch Bob pick on some internet chump" is less impressive than WATCH ENYART CONFRONT ONE OF THE WEB'S LEADING MINDS. If you're gonna attack somebody, make them out to be a MAJOR villain!

When was this guy characterized as a leading anti-creationist?

You didn't listen to the video, did you? Enyart was very clear: a Foundational Falsehood of creationism is that evolution denies God. For Christians, the issue isn't whether God created, but how. Did God create by poofing the world or each species into existence in its present form? Or did God create the world by gravity and the processes of geology and each species by evolution from common ancestors?

God is very clear in His Creation that He created by the processes discovered by science. God simply did not create by creationism.

BTW, what is "evolutionism"?

When was this guy characterized as a leading anti-creationist?

In the OP. First he's called a "star" (of youtube, no less; ahem) then Jefferson adds: "Bob has a conversation with one of the web's leading anti-creationists, AronRa."

Which, if you really think about it, is suspiciously specific praise...:think:

When was this guy characterized as a leading anti-creationist?

Anybody?

 

[lucaspa]

Anybody?

Granite answered. What the person seems to have done is a satire on Harun Yahya, who characterizes himself as a leading anti-evolutionist. "Harun Yahya" is a pseudonym for Adnan Oktar. "AronRa" is also a pseudonym.

However, instead of focussing on the who, why don't you try focussing on the arguments and evidence presented? Those are, after all, what matter.

Granite is on my ignore list. What did he say?

What the video seems to have done is a satire on Harun Yahya, who characterizes himself as a leading anti-evolutionist. "Harun Yahya" is a pseudonym for Adnan Oktar. "AronRa" is a pseudonym. For whom, exactly, we haven't figured out.

I live in the US of A, I can focus on whatever I like; it's a free country. Take your fascism and go away, communist.

And we have Sod to thank for making my point for me. Good work, Sod.

[The Barbarian]

Again, thanks for your help in debunking the "leading anti-creationist" story. That was great, Sod.

...this person (AronRa), who might be very knowledgeable, is not actually a leading anti-creationist on the web

AronRa is hardly a leading anti-creationist on the web.

Are you calling Bob Enyart a liar?

Would you like to call in to the show and discuss this with him in person, or are you too much of a coward?

You were going to stop trying to put words in my mouth, remember?

All I'm doing is thanking you for googling it, and showing that Bob was the only one to refer to him that way. It's always a bad idea to call people liars when they might simply be mistaken. It's even possible that you were mistaken.

Think about it.

 

[some other dude]

Jefferson?

What do you think?

Could you set up a call in for The Barbarian to correct Bob and tell him he's mistaken directly to his face (as it were)?

 

[The Barbarian]

Sorry Sod. You're on your own, on that "Bob is a liar" story. I figure he really believed that this guy was a leading anti-creationist.

But as you showed us with your google research, he isn't.

And for that, I thank you.

I asked a question. :idunno:

Here's your chance to correct him. I sent Jefferson a PM about setting up a call in.

 

[Jefferson]

Jefferson?

There's no need for me to set up a call for him. Anyone call in to the show M-F from 5:00 to 5:30 Eastern time at 800-8ENYART.
