Worst Propaganda Ever

For some reason, this piece of crap popped up on Facebook. I live in San Antonio, I’m used to stupid creationist bull, but this is the most comical variety. Look, speculations about the genesis of the Universe are a dime a dozen and there are plenty of physicists working on those questions, so this ridiculous clap-trap is pure comedy gold. Observe and be amazed:

So here’s the question: if originally–bazillions of years ago–there was Absolutely Nothing, wouldn’t there be Absolutely Nothing now?

Yes. For something–no matter how small–cannot come from Absolutely Nothing. We would still have Absolutely Nothing.

What does that tell us? That Absolutely Nothing never existed. Why? Because, if Absolutely Nothing ever existed, there would still be Absolutely Nothing!

If Absolutely Nothing ever existed, there would not be anything outside it to cause the existence of anything.

Again, if Absolutely Nothing ever existed, there would still be Absolutely Nothing.

However, something exists. Actually, many things exist. You, for example, are something that exists, a very important something. Therefore, you are proof that Absolutely Nothing never existed.

Genius.

    Although not (perhaps surprisingly) everybananaslug.com. I bet UC Santa Cruz needs this information more than Appalachian State.

    Even better/worse, there’s this heart-rending consideration of pornography’s evils:

    “On a cold, dark night, there’s nothing better than a blazing fire in the fireplace. You can pile on the wood and let it burn nice and warm. It’s safe, warm, relaxing and romantic. Now take that same fire out of the fireplace (which was built for it) and drop it in the middle of the living room. Suddenly it becomes destructive. It can burn down the whole house and kill everyone inside. Sex is like that fire. ”

    Now go back and it read it in a Barry White voice, and it just sounds like they’re boasting about their technique.

    I also find it amusing that it’s a cookie-cutter website by Campus Crusade for Christ. Just fill in the second half of the domain name with another collegiate mascot (e.g. everybeaver.com) and you’ll go to a similar website, just with different school colors. They even own everymountaineer.com.

    Quantum mechanic theories have shown and experiments have validated that something can indeed come from nothing, and does so constantly.
