Mindbendingly absurd...

[HarveyDarkey]

From Ken Ham's book "Dinosaurs of Eden"

[JaneyVee]

1. Please tell me this book is filed under 'Humor'.

[Wait Wut]

3. Nope...

http://www.amazon.com/Dinosaurs-Eden-Tracing-Mystery-Through/product-reviews/0890513406/ref=cm_cr_pr_hist_5?ie=UTF8&filterBy=addFiveStar&showViewpoints=0

Some of the comments are priceless!

[JaneyVee]

14. Jeez, there is so much mindbending absurdity on just that page alone.

[gumby100]

24. as crazy as this would be

if this was true i would be thinking that ken ham was a nut case, but its not

[Archae]

28. Oh right, it's "out of print" now.

How long was it in print?

Is there a new edition?
If so, what (supposedly) replaces that stupid paragraph about "atheists and homosexuals" wanting to scare kids?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

36. With right wingers these days, it's so hard to tell what is real and what is satire...

It reads almost the same:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=1960719

[SheilaT]

45. I am not sure that the right wing is capable of satire.

Certainly they don't recognize it well, as witness how often they take an Onion article for serious journalism.

[Fumesucker]

62. To be fair, it's entirely possible to troll DU with an Onion article

Or even less able snark/sarcasm/satire.

http://sync.democraticunderground.com/1240137023

[hrmjustin]

37. Welcome to DU and I hope you enjoy the site.

[gcomeau]

131. To be clear

...the text in this image is not the original, yes. It's mocking Ham.

But Ham DID publish a book called "Dinosaurs in Eden". And it DID make the argument that things like carnivorous dinosaurs spent their days side by side with Adam and Eve doing things like eating bananas. And then later on people riding them around with the freaking Pyramids in the background.

THIS



...is an *actual* page from the book. Right from Amazon. as is this:



He absolutely is a nutcase.

[DollarBillHines]

34. My favorite

"When my 3 year old son told me dinosaurs weren't around at the same time as people, I explained to him (again) that God created the dinosaurs the same time as all the other animals. Many died during the flood. There were dinosaurs on the ark. Probably many dinosaurs that came off the ark were killed off by knights."

And to think, those people walk the same sidewalks as do the rest of us.

[WiffenPoof]

128. No, The Comedy Gold...

...Is the word "again". As in he had to tell his child "again". Apparently, the first few times didn't take. LOLOL

[Quantess]

143. Hmm, that's the sobering tragic part, in my opinion.

That's borderline child abuse.

[JHB]

63. Book, no. Image, Yes. It's from a parody of ham's self-parody of a book.

Here's a link to the Daily Bleach parody article. Not that it's easy to distinguish the parody from the reality. There just isn't that much space between them.

http://dailybleach.com/why-are-liberals-stealing-our-childrens-dinosaur-lemonade/

[HiPointDem]

108. it's especially difficult to tell when the OP says the page is from Ham's book & gives no link to

the parody site.

in fact, i'd say that's deliberate misrepresentation.

[JHB]

124. Perhaps (and perhaps only sloppieness). However, after 30 years...

...of seeing the sort of outright lying dirtbags creationists can be, I find my potential outrage at the OP is severely limited.

Misrepresentation, usually through delusion but very often deliberate, is their stock in trade.

[JoePhilly]

2. You'd think that the bible might include a chapter on Dinosaurs.

I mean the Apatosaurus left HUGE dung piles.

You'd think the bible would mention those dung piles and how bad they smelled.

The Camel has MANY references in the bible. T-Rex, not one mention. Apatosaurus, not one mention.

[catbyte]

9. But, but, but, acording to a creationist apologist commentator, the Bible mentions "dragons" or

"terrible lizards" so that MUST mean they saw dinosaurs. Geeze, JoePhilly, get with the program.

[JoePhilly]

11. Haha ... I have heard that ... my response to it has basically been ...

Wait ... so the bible talks about Camels, multiple times ... but then its only mention of Dinosaurs is to refer to them as "Great Lizards"??

This makes no sense ... The diversity of Dinosaurs should have led to more mentions of these creatures. The bible makes direct references to many specific animals. You'd think that the Stegosaurus would get mentioned. T-Rez had huge teeth, walked on 2 legs, and had two apparently useless, chicken arms.

At some point, some biblical tribe should have used Aptosaurous dung to make a house, or a defensive wall.

But no ... the bible is fixated on camels. Long neck, a couple humps ... NOTHING compared to some of the dinosaurs that humans, according to the crazies, domesticated.

[Clinecrowd5]

75. Read your Bible again

there are 2 mentions of dinosuars in the Bible...but they are not called Dinosaurs because that is a "new" word. Both Bohemoth and Leviathan are mentioned in the book of Job! read their descriptions! One resembles a swimming creature and other resembles an Apatasaurus.

[JoePhilly]

133. Oh, I've read JOB ... not buying it.

The Behemoth sounds much more like an elephant or Hippo than anything else.

Now, some might try to argue that the description of the tail doesn't fit. They argue that the he tail should be larger and stiffer. Except that the reference to a "cedar" could refer not only to the cedar tree, but to the cedar bush as well.

The main problems are ...

(1) This creature is compared to an OX initially. Which means the first image placed into the bible reader's mind is that of an animal around the size of an OK. If the animal is much larger, the passage should say that somewhere. After all, you want the reader to get a size perspective of some animal much much larger than an ok, at least according to you. That does not happen.

(2) Later in the passage, the creature spends its time in the water. Scientists don't think that's where the Aptosauras spent its time.

(3) The passages in JOB describe this animal taking shade under trees. An elephant could do so, an Aptosauraus would have been too tall.

(4) Part of the story is that only God could kill it. By that same point in history, people had stopped trying to kill elephants and hippos. They were so strong, the risk did not outweigh the reward. Much of the Old Testament points attempts to help the reader avoid dangerous situations. That is probably why eating Shrimp and other shell fish (no scales) was seen as an abomination ... the people at that time did not realize that "shell fish" and "scaled-fish" could not be preserved in the same fashion.

Now ... as for Leviathan ... let's see ... can you tell me which dinosaur was able to do these things ... ??

18 His snorting throws out flashes of light; his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
19 Firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out.
20 Smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.

Its not surprising you went to the Old Testament again, that book of the bible does seem to have the most superstitious content, at least compared to the New Testament.

So given that ... let's do this ... let's imagine that I agree with you that the Behomoth and the Leviathan might be references to dinosaurs in the OT ... clearly the Dinosaurs should also appear in the NT, right? I mean they should get some mention there, right?

Now, you could argue that they died prior ... maybe during the time of Noah I guess. But Noah needed to take 2 of every animal, including the Dinos, on the Ark. Did they die prior? Or did he take them? If he took them, how did they fit? Who feed them? Who cleaned up their dung?

And then, what are they doing during the NT times?

[PoliticAverse]

4. Anyone that has seen The Flintstones would know that dinosaurs and humans worked together. n/t

[Art_from_Ark]

115. The brontosauruses, for example, were good for quarrying

and were also an important food source. But you had to be careful ordering the bronto ribs at the drive-in, 'cause they might tip your car over

[OriginalGeek]

119. That was poor design and lack of government oversight

Where in the hell was Ralph Naderock when you needed him?

[catbyte]

5. What's the gorilla supposed to be doing? Playing the lute? "Mouth Baseball"? What?!? And what's with

Adam's "stick"?

Inquiring minds want to know...

[hootinholler]

13. What about Eve's pose?

I don't think that is possible unless there is some physical anomaly at work. Look how far forward her right leg is from her body.

[jeff47]

23. They hadn't invented high heels yet, so she had to stand that way to

"look like a proper lady".

[frogmarch]

6. What a dolt.

I'm speechless.

[LiberalEsto]

7. Dinosaurs making lemonade?

That's ridiculous.
Everyone knows dinosaurs make cranberry juice.

[LeftinOH]

8. They forgot to add the unicorns! n/t

[sarisataka]

10. All I can say is

for having read that page. Thank you very much.

EDIT: See! I couldn't even use proper grammar!

[TwilightGardener]

15. Big razor-sharp teeth and claws are for...harvesting lemons.

Perfectly logical... BTW, I like Eve's Loretta Lynn hairdo.

[malaise]

126. But but but

Did you miss their lovely smiles?

[Bandit]

16. I sure hope this is a senior year science book

We need to learn our kids good...

[RC]

17. If them Dinosaurs were so peaceful and playful, then why the dagger like teeth and big sharp claws?

Something is wrong here. Why the full frontal on the gorilla, but not Adam or Eve?

[Archae]

18. Ken Ham is a con artist.

He's been brainwashing kids with "Jesus was with the dinosaurs" for years.

This particular paragraph shows just how terrified Ken Ham is, of REAL science and not his fundy fairy stories.

"For centuries, 'scientists' have tried to present the dinosaurs as violent monsters because they wanted to scare children. It's no coincidence that most of these men have been atheists or even homosexuals who are possessed by an intense hatred of young boys and girls."

[gumby100]

25. its people like you that give atheists a bad name.

Ken Ham believes in a literal interpretation of the bible and nowhere in it does it say Jesus walked with dinosaurs. It does imply that Adam and Eve did as well as some of there ancestors.

look at this link. please do some fact checking before you just believe that something is true.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=502115913152103&set=a.165757773454587.40048.164175656946132&type=1

[Archae]

26. It doesn't say it in the Bible. But Ken Ham does.

When he gives lectures to kids about dinosaurs, he very pointedly says "scientists weren't there, but Jesus was."

[billh58]

27. And you believe that there

actually was an Adam and an Eve, and that they and their ancestors played with friendly dinosaurs? Really? And you want us to check the "facts?"

Ken, is that you? ...

[Archae]

30. It is.

The link goes straight to his Facebook page where he whines about us.

[gumby100]

38. true

correct it does, here is a pic of the original unaltered page.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=502132996483728&set=a.165757773454587.40048.164175656946132&type=1&theater

[Archae]

41. And the "real page" is different..how?

There was no "Garden Of Eden," where dinosaurs ate plants.

Those were PREDATORS. They ate meat they caught by slashing other dinosaurs with those claws and the big teeth.
Your creationist fairy tale has nothing to back it up, except the writings of people who didn't even know what lightning was.

[Archae]

43. "Never contradicts itself?"

Do rabbits (hares) chew their cud?

Why are there TWO versions of the creation story, with Adam being created last in the first one, and in the second Adam is created and then animals?

How did Judas die?
I've seen two different versions.

Far more here:

http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/by_name.html

[HiPointDem]

116. there is no paragraph about 'scientists', homosexual, and scared children.

Ken Ham

In regard to my previous post about the false text inserted into a page of one of my children's books--here is a photograph of the actual page to show you the real text. I didn't have a scanner at home so used my camera.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=502132996483728&set=a.165757773454587.40048.164175656946132&type=1&permPage=1

[Sheepshank]

32. You believe that Dinosaurs made lemonade for Eve is in the bible?

And there is a literally reference to that in the bible from which Ham made this assertion?

[gumby100]

40. no

no there is not. he never made that assertion. the link is the unaltered page from the book.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=502132996483728&set=a.165757773454587.40048.164175656946132&type=1&theater

[Tsiyu]

56. Ken, honey

you're a fucking idiot snake oil salesman.

But you're good for a lot of laughs.

[billh58]

33. On second read

Adam and Eve had ancestors?

[gumby100]

39. oops

i meant desendents

[Tsiyu]

57. You're a fucking idiot

AND you can't spell.

Gee,wonders never cease!

[SCantiGOP]

66. you are why we have an Ignore button

[hifiguy]

70. Bwahahahaha!

Obvious troll is incredibly obvious.

[Arugula Latte]

73. So Able and Cain had incestuous relationships with ol' mom Eve then, huh?

The Bible. What a sick and twisted work of absurd fiction.

The mental gymnastics required to actually believe an ancient book of mythology from an isolated desert-dwelling people is an accurate historical record are unfathomable to me.

[JHB]

46. No, he just shows people dispersing from the Tower of Babel on Gallimimus-back

And please tell us who you think gives atheists a "good name"?

And please take your own advice: "do some fact checking before you just believe that something is true."

[JHB]

65. Where has Ken found evidence of harnesses and riding baskets for...

...Tsintaosauri, Gallimimuses, and Stegocerases, as he portrays here?

Plenty of archeological tack & harnesses for horses, camels, and other beasts of burden, but none for dinosaurs. No dinosaur bones in ancient campsites and settlements. No cave drawings (as we have for Eurasian rhinos and mastodons).







Really, isn't Ken pulling these out of places where Good Christians simply don't pull things from?

[Warren DeMontague]

47. Ken Ham gives sentient life-forms a bad name.

But the fact that he bears a distinct resemblance to Dr. Zaius in Planet of the Apes does provide some delicious irony.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

53. More than some of the young folks even realize

Watch the last 20 minutes of the original Planet of the Apes and see just how much this guy reminds you of Dr Zaius...

(OK- you may have to watch the whole movie for context, but the last 20 minutes is when the 800 pound orangutan enters the room)

[Rex]

121. Please don't insult our future primate overlords!

"nom nom dino-saucers nom nom adam and eve nom nom Fox News nom nom space pirates!"

Now doesn't that remind you of something else? Lives under bridges? Sometimes mistaken for troglodytes? Frequently hit by large goats?

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

48. Why do I get the feeling that's disingenuous?

I'm sure you think atheists could never have a "good name".

[Old and In the Way]

52. Talk about deceitful....I see you published HarveyDarky's OP picture w/o reference

to the DailyBleach.com website. That may have clued your clueless fans that this was lifted from a satire website.

Assuming you are this Mr. Ham dude, why are you talking about yourself here in the 3rd person? Really, I'm glad my kids never were exposed to your nutbag theories about young Earth creationism. This is how an Idiotocracy starts....

[HiPointDem]

111. if it's from a satire site, why not link it in the OP, instead of representing it as Ham's original?

*That* is deceitful.

[Rex]

122. Says the troll.

"cleanup in isle 5!"

[Taverner]

134. Mister Ham, can I share the good news with you?

There is no GOD! That's right, you can go on with your life and ENJOY it!

It's your life, and there is no chance you'll go to a Celestial North Korea when you die!

[HiPointDem]

105. the OP is the only one conning anyone. the paragraph you quote is a photoshop.

[Archae]

107. Ever hear of "Poe's Law?" It applies to this satire.

And the illustration is unaltered.

[HiPointDem]

110. The OP represents it as Ham's original & provides no link to the satire page. There is no way

to recognize it as 'satire' in the OP. And in fact a number of posters here have mocked the photoshopped text as if ham wrote it -- which he didn't.

Poe's law has nothing to do with it. The OP represents the page he posted as a page from Ham's book. It's not. The page is altered; it's irrelevant that the illustration isn't altered, because the text is.

[hobbit709]

19. Stupidity at that level is proof that there is no god.

[Xyzse]

20. I went to a private parochial school when I was young

And no one was this mindbendingly stupid.
Even the nuns that taught us had some foundation in science.

[JHB]

59. Do I need to explain to you what these people believe about catholics?

It's about on par with the dinosaurs.

[Xyzse]

60. No, I just find myself insulted by such an author.

That's all.

[Solly Mack]

21. Yikes.

Make it stop!

[Wait Wut]

22. Look how happy they all are!

Happily enjoying their vegan diet, laughing and frolicking amongst each other. No one wanting to eat each other.

No clue about the horrible EVIL SIN that Eve, that harlot, will be cursing all existence...even the poor vegan dinosaurs...with!

[spanone]

29. if this isn't the onion, it should be.....'because they want to scare children'

holy fuck

[HiPointDem]

113. that paragraph was photoshopped in. the OP has still not seen fit to correct his attribution of

the photoshop as ham's original work.

[Sheepshank]

31. This absurdity clearly puts to rest any attempt at credibility by creationists

...bookmarking to show my teen kids the idiocy of it all. It will be so easy for me to be able to point out the lack of any evidence for the statements made. In fact their own sharp toothed, clawed representations contradict their own written statements. Give the creationists one inch.........and they will bury you a mile deep in the dung of stupidity.

I am so sad that 100 years from now, these books will survive and our future generations will assume so much about us, based on this piece of crap.

[HiPointDem]

109. maybe you should bookmark the real page instead of this photoshopped one. the OP misrepresents

what's actually on that page in the real book. the OP has taken a page from a parody site but provided no link so that people could recognize it as parody. the OP has represented the photoshopped version as Ham's real work.

so there's a slightly different lesson for your son there.

[Sheepshank]

146. No.........No, I'm good with the lesson I originally planned.

Of course I can always add the real pics from Ham's book, because the message it provides is so different from the parody?


http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/0890513406/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_0?ie=UTF8&index=0&isremote=0

[WhoIsNumberNone]

35. In the interest of fairness....

I clicked the link that gumby100 (aka Ken Ham) posted upthread, and Daily Bleach did alter the text. (Note typo: 'to turns lemons into lemonaide') That's not to say that Ham's original text wasn't almost as ridiculous. It still claims that dinosaurs were vegetarians and lived in the Garden of Eden.

His tirade againt DU in the description is good for a few yuks, too.

[GoneOffShore]

49. I went to the link as well.

Ken Prosciutto is certainly a prolific liar and whiny baby.

[JHB]

50. Yes, the image in the OP is from the satire site Daily Bleach rather than Ham's actual book...

However, for all of us not in Ham's fan club, it can be hard to separate the parody from the self-parody of the original. There's not as much space between them as he'd like to think.

[HiPointDem]

82. ham posted the original text on his facebook page. the entire paragraph about scientists is fake.

[HiPointDem]

106. fairness? honesty? don't look for it on this thread. DU-ers often complain about faux news,

but they seemingly stoop to the same practices when it suits them.

[JoeyT]

125. It isn't that far off what Ham thinks.

The guy you're defending has a blog:

http://blogs.answersingenesis.org/blogs/ken-ham/tag/homosexuality/

Obama won reelection and now TEH HOMOZ R GOIN TO GET US!!!!

Edited to add: That last sentence is paraphrasing: He doesn't speak those exact specific words. Just thought I should mention that before someone freaks out over it.

[Rex]

132. Wow, you are all over the road with that one...

[Amaril]

44. Somebody needs to clue Mr. Ham in

The Flintstones was not intended as a documentary on prehistoric life.

[Melinda]

51. "Mindbendingly absurd" as the original may be, your OP misrepresents the original, Harvey....

Not sure of your intent, Harvey, but the result is you've some people believing the image you posted to be what the creationist author wrote - and it is not. The text within the original image has been changed, and you didn't include a 'satire' tag nor a link to where you obtained the image from, albeit a website is noted at the bottom of the image.

Not bad enough we have to deal with the loons at FR... noooo, now we're in the creationists sights as well.

Okay, /off mom mode.

[billh58]

55. Here is a link to the

article from DailyBleach.com:

http://dailybleach.com/why-are-liberals-stealing-our-childrens-dinosaur-lemonade/

As for the original, it seems to be out of print so who knows?

[HiPointDem]

84. yep, fakery makes people distrustful, and it's dirty pool besides. don't like it.

[billh58]

89. And selling Creationism

for fun and profit is not "fakery?" Bullshit.

[HiPointDem]

103. the OP misrepresents what the book says. The OP is a lie. I don't know if the person who

posted it knew it was fake when he posted, but he knows now.

You want to laugh at the book, fine. You don't need to lie to make the point.

democrats respect truth. if fundies are so god-awful, why do you have to photoshop to make that point?

[Phillip McCleod]

137. for entertainment.

[Initech]

54. I like how scientist is in quotations... is this for real?

[JHB]

61. That part isn't (directly, that is)...

...see various links above for the original Daily Bleach parody article, and for Ham's Facebook pages showing the unaltered page.

On the other hand, if one believes what Ham says, then the parody is pretty much what one believes about scientists in general, since obviously one believes they are all fakes, frauds, and agents of Satan.

[HiPointDem]

81. no. the text has been altered and we fell for it. including me.

[billh58]

87. Did you also fall

for the part about playful and friendly dinosaurs co-existing with humans? Defend this lying, piece-of-shit con artist all you want, but Ham deserves any and all ridicule he gets on this board.

[HiPointDem]

112. If the playful dinosaurs are the object of scorn, why not post the original without the fake text?

Spare me the faux outrage, this is a cheap OP.

[billh58]

129. No actually spare me your

self-righteous right wing defense of a faux-Christian con-artist fleecing the "true believers" with a website selling bogus bullshit and pretending that it's the word of "God."

This asshole and his putrid writings are fair game for anything that sane people want or need to counter his lies and fakery. I don't care if it's Photoshopped, altered, or dragged through dog puke, the OP makes the point that it may as well have said that a snake actually talked to Eve in the "Garden," and that dinosaurs made lemonade for the mythical Adam and Eve.

You act like it's a legitimate piece of literature that's been (gasp!) plagiarized and presented as someone else's work. Horseshit! No amount of alteration of the fucking "original" can be enough to fully trash this asshole or his "work."

You must be really upset with the Onion on a daily basis.

[truebrit71]

58. Surely that cannot be serious...??

Can it??? :eek:

[HiPointDem]

117. photoshopped. the original doesn't include the paragraph about homosexuals, etc.

[SidDithers]

64. That's a photoshop...

the text has been photoshopped in. The real page looks like this:




Now, please don't think I'm defending Ham. He's fucking clueless, and his nonsense is bad enough. I don't want to give him and folks like him any ammunition to show how the 'godless liberals' are distorting his material.

Cheers,
Sid

[JHB]

71. Too late (see links somewhere above for Ham's FB page)

[gkhouston]

83. Looks like Adam and the gorilla are sharing a Meaningful Glance.

[Warren DeMontague]

91. You can't polish a turd, Beavis.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

95. His material requires no distortion.

The unaltered page is quite sufficient to make him look like an idiot.

[SidDithers]

96. Yup. That was my point...

Sid

[Phillip McCleod]

136. the big 'DailyBleach.com' didn't give it away?

i for one wasn't fooled. if others were? such is satire.

[Marrah_G]

67. Why do his herbavore dinosaurs all have carnivore teeth?

And ummm what does that raptor use its massive hind claw for?

[cthulu2016]

68. This is no more wrong than any other religious belief

Oh NOES!!! A false religion.

They all are. Deal with it.

This site is a treasure trove of humor material for the sane, and a swamp of absurdity for the incurably gullible.

77. Ham is that you?

So let me see if I have this correct - you are suing because someone took your crazy shit and made it even crazier? HAHAHAHA goodluck with that crap...

And for the record, you are making people stupid with this fantasy crap about dinos and humans existing together. Then again, any idiot can have a FB page nowadays!

[Rex]

76. Wow, Adam and Eve are incredibly white!!

There a shower behind that tree? Did they just get done shopping at Sach 5th Avenue or what? Must have, otherwise how does Adam keep his beard so trim? I guess it just grew to a prefect length and then stopped growing!

I cannot believe the first two paragraphs are real - someone REALLY believed that Trex made harvey wallbangers for the humans with his mouth!?!?! And the part about homosexuals having a intense hatred for boys and girls...two words...The Church.

The stupid is epic!

[HiPointDem]

78. adam's beard and stache look salon-trimmed. possibly the gorilla.

[Rex]

79. I think I see a Sharper Image store

behind one of the dinos.

[HiPointDem]

80. apparently the page you posted isn't the original text. (as would be more obvious if we weren't

already disposed to think fundies are nuts. there's a very sharp transition from adam & eve making lemonade to talk of 'scientists,' homosexuals & atheists. c'mon, not standard kids' book content even for fundies).

[HiPointDem]

85. please delete your post or correct the op, because this is not the original text -- it's fake.

democrats respect truth.

thanks.

[billh58]

86. Uh, it's satire

aimed at the absurd contention that dinosaurs co-existed with humans. And who in the hell are you to ask someone to delete or change their OP?

[yawnmaster]

90. Dude, it is definitely satire, but the OP is treating it as though it is straight from the book...

"From Ken Ham's book..."

[billh58]

93. Who fucking cares?

The book is pure rubbish and deserves to be trashed, ridiculed, and laughed at.

[yawnmaster]

100. That may be, in fact, true, but it has nothing to do with the OP being incorrect...

If one must attack it is best to attack from a position of truth.

If one must, ridicule the actual book, not a parody of the book. I am laughing inside at the irony.

[HiPointDem]

114. yep, it's funny, & even funnier are the characters like 'bill' running around saying the misrepre-

sentation isn't important.

faux news tactics are ok when it's *our* side -- i guess.

[HiPointDem]

104. it's not satire. it's a photo-shop that misrepresents what is actually on that page.

satire is when the audience knows it's fake. in this case the OP asserts that this is the real book. it's not.

[billh58]

130. Actually, out of

everyone reading this thread, you and a select minority of apparently humorless individuals appear to be the only ones who are not aware that it's satire. What's "fake" to you is wit to many others.

Go crusade for something that really matters, and let lemonade making dinosaurs lie. (Get it?)

[Phillip McCleod]

135. hard to miss the big 'DailyBleach.com' in the image

only the satire-impaired or tragically unobservant would think it original

[Warren DeMontague]

88. Dinos loved lemons

you can't argue with art.

[HiPointDem]

118. so what? he put a picture of a dinosaur eating lemons in a kids' book for fundies. oooooh, how

awful!

the OP posted a photoshop of the page with a passage about homosexuals & misrepresented it as ham's original.

way to stand up for truth!

[Warren DeMontague]

120. Yeah, someone substituted an idiotic block of text for the equally idiotic block of text that was

originally there.

Heavens, the outrage.

[Warren DeMontague]

92. I'd like to dedicate this song to DU's newest friend, Mr. Ken Ham:

[adirondacker]

94. LOL! That was Great! Wonderful lyrics and some fine pickin. :) n/t

[Liberal_in_LA]

97. lol!

[sakabatou]

99. However, when it came to the Flood...

[Xipe Totec]

101. Why did God decide to destroy such beautiful creatures?

Why was there no room for these gentle giants in Noah's arch?

Why did God give these fruit eating dinosaurs twelve inch long, razor sharp, flesh cutting teeth?

[sellitman]

102. Funniest DU thread ever!

You are a real Ham.......oh wait....

[fadedrose]

123. Then the big cats came after the friendly dinosaurs?

I mean, since lions and tigers are meat-eaters, they could not have been in existence in Eden. Have they explained where they came from?

[RegieRocker]

127. ROFLMAO and can't stop!

Damn you!!!

[EvilEvolutionist]

138. KEN HAM IMPLEMENTS TAKE DOWN NOTICE

If you think this whole thing isn't strange enough, Ken Ham's Answers In Genesis has instituted a take down notice for the picture that started this entire thread. So how long before the image is taken down? Hopefully Democratic Underground will not back down and fight this.

[gkhouston]

144. Wow, what a clever way to promote this thread!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

145. Maybe Ham can retain the services of Righthaven. I hear they are not busy.

I Ham has a brother.

[Quantess]

139. I understand that is a parody...

but is it a parody of a parody?
In other words, this Ken Ham person seems like a satirist.
Or is Ken Ham truly being sincere?

[Vanje]

140. Ken Ham is either sincere

....or he is a sincere snake-0il salesman.

Theres good money in fleecing the flock these days, and Its tax free, if you do it in Jesus' Name

[Quantess]

141. I know, I just checked out his facebook page.

People like him are dangerous to society, and I mean that without any exaggeration.
Those poor children, being brainwashed like that. It's borderline child abuse. If there was any such thing as "intellectual child abuse", this would be it.

[countryjake]

142. Unfortunately, he's dead serious...

And the guy and his cronies have published an entire series of books, suggested for use in homeschooling across the country.

[EvilEvolutionist]

147. Wondering where the picture went?

If you're wondering where the picture went that started this whole thread, the admins at the Democratic Underground took it down because of legal threats from Ken Ham.

[billh58]

148. That's fine as we

already found out what a complete dickhead and con-artist Kenny Boy is.

[Vanje]

149. It is still there

In the OP. The picture stands.
Right On!
Power to the Parody!
