He is now called the banana man and his side kick is Kirk Cameron. Both are so funny to watch. Ray makes an interesting and "enlightening" statement and Kirk acts as if it's the most wonderful thing he has ever heard.
I had to do a blog on this guy even though it was 6 years ago, but... back in April 2006, a video hit YouTube that just about went viral. It was a small virus that was easily cured but it did leave a lot of mouths agape and if you haven't seen it I highly recommend you doing so now. Go one, I can wait...
This was basically debunked before it hit the intertubes and became a big joke in the sceptic and atheist spheres, and still is. I'm not going to sit here and tell you this is the kind of crazy shit we, as critical thinkers, come across everyday, no, most of the time we are fighting against somewhat intelligent apologists that can kind of make sense and have at least done some minimal research. I am going to say that as a Kiwi myself I am ashamed to share the same Nationality as Ray Comfort.
This video has been ridiculed so much that I need only add the following video...
At first it may seem like I'm muddying the Ray Comfort waters but I truly believe that he has had no problem doing that to himself. This is not the first video that shows him doing what he does best which is making a big, fat fool of himself and I dare say it won't be the last - after all, he is still alive. Here he is again talking about a cake can...
There are some obvious problems with his "there must be a creator" argument and that, in short, is God. What, or whom, created God? Like our man Ray says, there must be a creator. He skipped the fact that it took billions of years of evolution for our species, Homo Sapiens Sapiens, to get to the point we were able to produce the machines that manipulated the materials we discovered which put us on the road to discovery to achieve such a simple yet complex thing as an aluminium can. Ad nauseum.
So why am I picking on Ray Comfort? Obviously he is not the brightest crayon in the box and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to break his arguments down and thankfully there aren't many like him around. The problem is this, some people believe what he is saying so he is, in effect, spreading misinformation to the already duped. He is not the only fruit loop in the cereal box and no matter how few of them there are in the world they are here and they are like cockroaches; you kill one and another one takes it's place - shine a light on their arguments and they scurry away into the dark recesses of circular logic. Here is another...
Chuck Missler is so full of shit and clearly does not understand evolution at all. I believe, honestly, that he shaved his ass and is sitting on his face.
So back to Ray Comfort. His topics are ridiculously non researched and so is one of the low hanging fruits that we can pick off quickly. Here is the question you have been waiting for... so, what's the harm? I don't have the time nor space to properly go into that question but someone does, visit What's The Harm by Tim Farley. On this excellent website you will find story upon story of the harm this kind of teaching can do. You can see more on Ray Comfort on YouTube if you just search his name, go on, do it! You deserve a good laugh :)
I write this blog because it is a passion of mine to explore the myth of god and along the way even I learn some cool stuff but it takes a lot of time and energy to write this blog.
