Mom: "No way!"
Me: "Why not?"
Mom: "Because you can die like that!"
Me: "What?"
Mom: "The pressure can make your brains explode out your ears and you need to stop trying to get me to sneeze through my nose so I'll die."

Me: "Mom, you should stop smoking. That cough is really getting bad. I don't want you to get cancer"
Mom: "I won't get cancer. I pray about it."
Me: "So there's never been a case of a Christian dying of cancer?"
Mom: "No. And if there is, they weren't Christian enough."

The other two I can kind of see (not that they arn't stupid), but GOD this is REALLY stupid. Fuck, the first one is so stupid I don't believe it's real.

laughed at her and said no they are new technology lol

needless to say she had the look on her face. where she realized how stupid her question was as soon as she got my reply.

Being nice to your wife predates getting sex from her.

It's real. She's the kind of person who, when she was a child, took to heart all the old wives tales and never gave them any rational thought throughout her life to realize that they aren't real.
I think she dropped out in the 8th grade too, and has been a housewife her whole life. No one has ever challenged her beliefs, nor has she ever needed a reason to challenge them herself.
That's why she seems so stupid. I personally think she's just really ignorant with a capacity to learn, but far too hard-headed to try.

She won't believe me when I try to explain to her that lungs aren't "bags of air", and you can't "break the bag if you breathe too deeply".

Oh, and she doesn't believe in science. Her take is "Science is always changing their minds about stuff, so I don't believe anything they say".
She's the kind of person that takes EVERYTHING in the bible literally, and believes all of it happened.

WTF was that? I think my IQ dropped a few points after watching that. Peanut butter is not a living thing, so I'm pretty sure it can't create life. It only sustains life because it contains nutrients necessary for survival. The mold thing made me laugh. Mold (the outside life according to them) is the product of warm air, moisture, bacteria and fungi that is already present - outside sources coming together. The mold then feeds off the PB (or whatever is moldy). Those people are so ignorant!

this is literally the stupidest thing i have ever seen and morons such as these - especially those with enough resources to spread their delusional ideas - need to be disposed of.

Haha, that's the best thing I've seen in a long time

A main problem is of course that life is not expected to suddenly pop into existence in the shape of a cell. Rather, it is expected to have started with tiny replicating molecules that slowly evolved over millions and millions and millions of years, becoming more and more advanced .. a process which eventually resulted in cellular life and also non-cellular replicators like viruses.

You can't expect that to happen almost spontaneously in a jar of peanut butter

I know (well, knew) someone who worked at a restraunt in Monterey, California (I think... somewhere around there) on the beach. From across the bay, you can see the end of the SF peninsula, in a view that kind of makes it look like an island. A woman asked if it was Hawaii.

Poking fun at stupid creationists, this vid is of course a classic. These guys are reading and acting to the camera posts made on christian fundamentalist forums. Hehe ..
