Good Use Of Money
Right here.
Really, I hate the whole, “I’ll bet you $______ if you can just prove ________.” Sure, sometimes it is a “I’ll give it to charity”…but mostly, it is about boasting rights and usually the expectation is that nobody will take them up. That is, of course, because usually the claim is a worthless waste of time. And this is most certainly a waste of time…and this guy wants to waste a judge’s time on top of that.
Oh yeah…evolution DOES contradict a literal reading of the Genesis Creation story. A non-literal reading? No, then it does not contradict the Genesis Creation story. But if you are arguing for a literal reading? Then you have no damn idea what LITERAL means.
So many of those “bets” are proving a negative. “Prove you never met” so-and-so, who lives in your city. Tough to do.
“Literal” means that Jesus rode a dinosaur!
