    Not to get into a religious debate. I stay out of the religion thread for a reason.
    I've mentioned before, I think God went "here's a bunch of crap that I created, let's see what happens!" And then evolution kicked in. *shrug*

      I'm kinda serious. People catch climate denial from the Echo Chamber and Creationism from the Christian Taliban. Where does anti-vax come from? I know various celebs spew it, but I can't imagine anybody over the age of 8 seriously considers anything that comes out of a celeb's mouth.
      They don't know each other. One gets her " information" from woo pages such as Dr. Tenpenny, one gets all her crap from Natural News, and the other was just a choice.

        I've got a sister who believes in a lot of woo. It's not her positions I mind so much (e.g., anti-GM) but that she comes by them by intuition rather than research (she doesn't know anything about chem or food science, she just "knows" ).

        She's not stupid or ignorant at all: straight A's, tier 1 school, educator (shiver), well-read. But she just falls for the whole "BIG FOOD is trying to poison us." Come to think of it, I've not asked her about her views on vax and now I'm afraid to.

          Believing in "creation" isn't the same as Creationism, which is an elaborate pseudo-science crammed full of BS and idiocy.

          You can't have existence without something.
          Well, no matter what people believe, either something can come from nothing or the question is ill-framed. The problem with solving the ex nihil problem with a god is it just kicks the can back one step: from whence comes the god? Self-created? Then something from nothing is possible. Immortal? Then the universe could as easily be immortal. In each case, the supposition of a god is not required and doesn't add anything.

          If people want to believe the invisible man lit the fuse on the big bang firecracker, vaya con Dios. Just don't pretend that it isn't one of any number of hypotheses with nothing to favor it.
