Today, I spent hours debating with a lady who claimed she'd spent years "studying the big bang theory." Not only did she not know the scientific meaning of the word "theory", her killer argument was "If the big bang happened, where are the fossils?" I'm not sure whether or not I just got trolled. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter

Today, I told a friend I had become more religious lately. He immediately started mocking me for being a "stupid creationist bigot." When I told him how offensive that was, he acted bewildered and started condescendingly lecturing me about how "science has proven God does not exist." FML
Today, my daughter believed that watching the Big Bang Theory would count as studying for her chemistry final. FML
Today, I found out that the girl I've fallen in love with is a "young-earth/dinosaurs-lived-with-humans" crackpot. FML
Today, I presented my child with the classic "Who came first, the chicken or the egg?" conundrum. In return, I got a detailed lecture on how birds evolved from dinosaurs, how life was created in the sea and an explanation about evolution. I got schooled by a 9 year old. FML
Today, after a long discussion, my dad still doesn't understand how evolution works, and thinks it's a myth that was debunked a long time ago. FML
Today, I listened to my niece explain to me, in great detail, that the Titanic never sank, and that the year it supposedly did was a prediction of 9/11. She learned all of this from some whackjob conspiracy theory videos, and acts like she's an expert now as a result. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom, because apparently I'm an idiot for not sharing her belief that chickens are mammals. She has a university degree in this stuff. FML
Today, I had a debate at school. I had diligently studied my position, digging up historical parallels, researching the economics, and preparing citations. I lost to a guy who just yelled, "Tax the billionaires" to every question. FML
Today, I went to the Natural History Museum with my boyfriend. While we were standing in front of real dinosaur bones, he told me he didn't believe in dinosaurs. FML
Today, I disproved a scientific theory created by my supervisor. He was furious and said that I shouldn't have tried to disprove him. He told me to continue working with his theory and now he threatens to fire me if I publish my work. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

There's trolling, and then there's just flat-out stupidity.

Pssh, obviously the fossils were eaten by unicorns. Everyone knows dinosaur bones are the primary source of nutrition for unicorns. And unicorn blood is the primary nutrition of Dark Lords. It's the circle of life.

God put fossils on the Earth to test our loyalty to Him! SCIENCE IS A LIE MADE UP BY THOSE WHO REFUSE GOD'S LOVE!!

55, I sincerely hope you're using sarcastic badly. On another note: morons, morons everywhere!
sux4u121 10
#55's bio says they are a die hard troll, ignore them. He really is an awful troll aswell, first rule of trolling, you don't flat out tell people you're trolling them. The jokes on 55 and his terrible attempt to piss people off.

I have a theory that you just got trolled

On the bright side, this is the first time in a long time that I've seen someone use the word "troll" correctly in the Internet sense of the word.

#77: that's exactly what I thought! My assumption thus is that she has been studying The Big Bang Theory on TV, most probably in a Pennyistic way (no offence for Pennys all over the world).

That is so stupid even I have no idea what the heck she was on about.

If they have no idea what she's on about, then I guess they did get trolled.

Hey now, we're not all freaking dumbasses! I side with both religion and science and avoid arguements where they conflict :)

#36, just to maybe clear some things up, I was referring to the woman, not you. I personally don't see why to two can't intertwine, but that's just me.

#53 the two contradict each other too much.

#64 Some people believe God created the big bang and the dinosaurs. Believing in science and religion aren't necessarily exclusive.
ise3 10
Idiots believe doctrines that were made by humans as an interpretation of the bible. For instance, if genesis is to be read literally, the earth is 6000 years old. Obviously not true. And then there's evolution which supposedly contradicts the idea that god magically made humans. He could have, but all evidence indicates otherwise.
teh3pictroll 8
Like I said, they can intertwine.
wildperson 8
Just curious, but how is 6000 years inaccurate?
Kn0wledge123 21
Because of a little thing called "cosmology" 89
JoshB_24 10
#64 they can actually compliment each other
therealafroninga 10
IYou can interpret the bible, not all of it's literal. For example, do I believe that Moses with gods help parted the red sea, no, but I do believe god went through great links and helped the Jews through Moses, and the red sea is a metaphor to show the great links that god went through to help the Jewish people. Also, if you're going to toss around modern science says this, and modern science says that, you've got to realize that the ancient Greeks had arguably the most advanced medical technology and knowledge of their time period, but they also thought you could Iive without a heart.

64 - I've actually watched a program on TV where they proved Bible stories to be physically and naturally possible using science. It was intriguing, actually. I believe that religion and science can totally go hand-in-hand with each other, if you keep and open mind. 89 - Because the Earth is not only 6,000 years old. Try 4.54 billion.

#73: They're not automatically mutually exclusive. However, science is based around the (wait for it!) scientific method, meaning that a hypothesis must be backed up by observed reality. If it isn't, it is discarded or amended. A theory, in the scientific sense, is just a collection of related hypotheses that have stood the test of time. Religion, on the other hand, generally values a faith-based approach. You're supposed to accept things without being given any evidence, with the only reason being 'because we said so'. Sometimes, if observed reality runs counter to a religious teaching, this is seen as a 'test of faith'. The Catholic doctrine of 'transubstantiation' is a good example of this 'it is true because all the evidence shows it is false' ass-backwards way of thinking that typifies many religions.

Thing is its called a theory so we dont know it was cause by a cosmic explosion. Not to mention the odds of it happening according to scientist is counsidered impossible
MartiOan 8
There is no "impossible", but merely a "so unlikely that we should not reasonably expect it to happen" but the fact, that some event did happen does not allow any assertions about it's likelyhood. Maybe if it hadn't happen we would not be here to discuss it but we are.
