Creationists Argue Nessie Exists

Architect said:
You're arguing over angels and pin heads. There is no compelling evidence of large marine creatures in the Loch. It just highlights the problems creationists have with evidence.

I note in passing that the mainstream churches here have no problem with evolution and teaching thereof in this country. There is no sustained push to have ID, creationism, or equivalents thereof foisted on our kids outside of a few very fundy quarters.

Oh I know, it's completely crazy.
 
how much poo does a dino make per year, and where is all the poo in Loch Ness?
 
I'm still trying to get my head around the idea that Scotland exists.

Cite?
 
creationism and the nessie myth in the end are driven by one thing MONEY. If it was not for the myth of that lake dino, no one in Scotland or anywhere in the world would give a rats rectum about that lake. Lots of cash flows through that town from bored rich white guys and their expensive sonar equipment.

Creationism is about getting a new generation of kids to buy into their jesus crap by teaching their garbage in the schools. As things stand now the nessie myth is going to outlive their 6000 year old earth, man came from magic crap. So in order to further promote their BS they need to ride coattails on someone else's nonsense.

They are desperate because they are going away, there is a post here on how the millennials are drifting away form religion.
 
Then again if you can believe that a virgin can give birth to the Messiah, who can heal the sick (the ones he feels like doing) walk on water, do unlimited fish, bread baskets and kills fig trees, then die and come back to life in 3 days.

You can also believe a large immortal dino that does not need to eat can live in a small lake.

I wonder if the Apostles asked "Do you want fries with that"?

Ooh, a philosophical question: which is sillier, the notion that the universe was created in a puff of smoke 6,000 years ago, or that a lake the size of Ness can support the feeding habits of a living dinosaur?

It all makes sense when you realize that Nessie is actually the Creator.

I mean, the Loch is nestled amongst some rather pretty hills and you can easily see to the other side at most points on the Loch as far as I can tell.

Easily (unless the weather is particularly nasty) - it's only 1.7 miles wide at its maximum.

Nessie is of course real and is probably due to put in an appearance shortly, what with it being near the start of the holiday season and all.
 
It's true Nessie is something of a little earner, but it's mostly boat trips which are worth going on for their own sake, and you only have to put up with a little bit of "well you never know" from the guide. I don't know what percentage of their custom is from people who actually believe Nessie exists - I think it's mostly people who want a nice scenic sail, and people who are prepared to go along with it for a bit of fun.

There's also a "museum" or two dedicated to the Monster, I don't know what's in them as I've never stumped up to go see. And you can buy everything from cute three-piece pottery models of Nessie to Nessie tea-towels and silly hats. That's about it. I don't think there's any serious Nessie-hunting going on most days of the year. Every time someone announces they're going to do that, the press run silly-season articles about it.

Very little of the tourist hokum requires anyone seriously to believe there's a monster there.

While I'm usually pretty jaded about this stuff, I literally hung my head in shame when I read that this is happening in my state. Note to the outside world: not all of Louisiana is like this, despite the best efforts of our governor to make it seem so.

It's not a lake, it's a loch. I thought we'd explained that already. And there aren't any towns on the Loch. Unless you mean Drumnadrochit, which scarecely qualifies as more than a village.
