They get poop on all the roads and they hold up traffic but generally they keep to themselves so it is kind of hard to complain.

Keep in mind they aren't one uniform group. Different Amish communities have different standards for what they will or will not tolerate. This allows many Amish to have businesses where they sell things like furniture to "The English" which is their word for anybody who is not Amish.

Well-meaning people but misguided. They rightfully recognized the degeneracy of modern society and decided to cut off entirely from it and do their own thing and completely disregard new technologies. But they fail to realize that certain new technologies and structures in the modern developmental world can be greatly beneficial. Also you can't ever isolate yourself from the world at large, you will always be part of it no matter how much you try, they will eventually be forced to face the reality like everyone else, the world isn't like it used to be. I think they will be gone within 100 years entirely, when they realize the huge advantages of modern technology.

>DESIGNATED.

Uhhh, no. This is a pretty common misconception. Amish people use all sorts of modern technology including cell phones, and will avail themselves of modern medicine as well. They simply decide as a community what technology they are going to use so that individuals don't set themselves apart by their worldly goods. They also don't like to be apart of power grids or insurance (such as social security) that would tie them to society at large as that would also make them too attached to this life. They have a more plausible reading of the New Testament than most Christians I'd say.

Godly and righteous people.

The only sane, logical and normal people left in the west.

Is this what christians believe?

I love Amish porn. All those forearms and ankles.

They have pretty high life satisfaction.
Not being materialistic and trying to be good people seems to work.

>Christian

Fucking Americans I swear.

>nothing exploded
>rocks turned into soup
>..then the soup came alive!

People who believe this are not normal.

Good thing nobody believes that outside of fundie strawmanning.

It's mostly horse poop.

You believe you came from a rock.
You believe your granda was a monkey.
You believe in "millions" of years.
You believe in Flintstone fairy tales.

You are insane.

They know what technology is.

They send people out to know more about the world around them. They may be religious, but not stupid or funded by corps.

Says the man who doesn't even understand the basics of his opponents position. Have a nice day, I'll mention you in my afternoon prayers. Hopefully, God will cure your deficient understanding

>y-you just dont understand it!
Ah, that ol' shitty argument.

I understand the theory better than you do.
Which is why I don't believe in it. It's scientifically impossible.

Hundreds of books, documentaries and articles are written that show the flaws and holes of the ridiculous idea that a dog can turn into a whale.

Shaddup and take your vaccines.

Take a dose of reality.

"The fool has said in his heart, there is no God." Psalm 14:1

Then you would realize that the Big Bang wasn't "nothing exploding" but rather all observable mass being concentrated in a volume roughly the size of the solar system

You'd know that abiogenetic theories have nothing to do with rocks but rather self replicating protein chains.

You'd know the difference between a common ancestor and a line of descent.

You'd know the measuring methods for rock strata

None of this is evident in your post; indicating you get your info from strawmanning fundies.

Where's your proof?
Where's the evidence?

Hubble observations of redshifts, DNA comparisons with chimpanzees, the Miller-Urey experiment.

>it's another thread ruined by a LE SCIENCE cum sucking Redditor

A Ford and Volkswagen car both have 4 wheels.
That must mean they evolved from a skateboard!

I'm still waiting for evidence to support your retarded theory, that isn't assumptions, circular reasoning or an admitted hoax.

DNA, fossils and archeology proves the Bible is true.

Still no counter argument.
Still no evidence.

>science worshipers ruin another thread

What a surprise

>science worshippers
I would say that's a bad term.
Science is a legit pursuit, and with science we prove the Biblical creation story correct.

Evolution is unscientific, there's no evidence for it.

Evolution is a religion/cult.

Read and take notice anons, this is high caliber shitposting

No it isn't, science is a cult that aims to explain what only God almighty can know.

It's satanic by definition

>providing facts is "shitposting"

Read and take notice anons, this is cognitive dissonance.

Dropping more examples of science worshipers getting BTFO

What you mean is pseudo-science.

Science = creation

Pseudo-science = evolutionism

...

You're both wrong, those Giants were killed by Odin who also created our ancestors from the ash tree

Why are there so many angry christfags on Veeky Forums?

Kent Hovind poster is just one guy. I think he's the same person who shits up religious threads with hardline fundie circular reasoning shit too.

...

No one here is angry except for the shitposting atheists.

I have no reason to be angry since the truth is on my side.

...

Looks legit

what's amazing is someone thinks After Eden is funny

Fucking creepy ass christians man I swear

ITT: Christians provide sources, links.
Fedoras just shitpost.

It's amazing how hard it is for atheists provide proof/evidence for their evolution theory, shows how desperate they are.

Christianity wins again.

>he's an angry christian don't listen to him

>peer review

atheists getting BTFO in this thread

so many proof for creation its not even funny

i still havent seen any proof for evolution

The very fact that is subject to attack by experts is what makes it more reliable


your sources compared to peer reviewed science are like ancient aliens compared with peer reviewed history

Peer reviewing is to prevent retarded bullshit from getting the same accolades as actual science, the bias is in the facts and the fact that these scientists have standards they must hold.

See, this is where I get the "You don't understand the theories" from.

Miller-Urey demonstrates abiogenesis's possibility, by quite literally generating amino acids from raw chemicals in laboratory conditions. Hubble Redshifting proves that all galaxy mass objects are moving from all other galaxy mass objects, thus that they were all at one place if you track back long enough.

But don't worry, like I said, come about 5:30, I'll be praying for God to open your eyes.

Also, nobody has found a Noah's ark, or chariot wheels in the Red sea, which by the way isn't even the sea mentioned in the Biblical account, so good job failing on both ends.

Evolution is a myth.

It only happens in your head.

>Peer review in Nazi Germany
>Peer review in Soviet Russia

Peer review isn't perfect you retard, there is always bias and dominance of a particular ideology or cult. In this case, darwinism and relativist poison.

Hello is this the shitposting thread?

Providing sources and links doesn't matter when they've been proven time and again to be wrong or just based on what-ifs and maybes with research to back it up

Russia produced some good engineering, as did nazi germany.

The whole idea of peer review is we produce more accurate information over time as misinformation is purged through peer review. The fact we know longer teach Nazi racial theories or soviet economics is evidence that the system works

What do you think would happen in the Soviet Union if someone provided a detailed and scientific article that says "Well maybe communism isn't so good, there are other better political platforms"?

He would get fucking executed.

Now? Creationists get silenced and Biblical evidence gets ignored/rejected because it doesn't fit in the Darwinian narrative that the elite wants to push onto our children.

Stupid clowns.

>comparing modern science to communist Russia
>implying peer review is a bunch of labcoat junkies looking at a paper and immediately claiming "i disagrees with thats" or "this dusnt fit le elites agendaa"
>"biblical evidence"

1. Biblical evidence needs to exist before it can be accepted
2. Even if it did, no scientist worth their salt and NOT a corrupt piece of shit would ever willingly suppress evidence and research just because it doesn't fit their worldviews
3. Of fucking course he'd get executed for his idea, as the Soviet Union wasn't interested in knowing the truth of stuff, they were only interested in what they could use to hold power over their people

Why arenĀ“t mods in here banning the TWO jackasses that derailed this thread?

Fuck.

Do you also believe in what Alex Jones says as well?

Hey buddy.

Darwin suggested that Larmarckism could have been a subprocess for evolution, and most of Darwin's peers basically laughed Lamarckism out of the scientific community due to them not understanding epigenetics and shit. One asshole even tried to chop mice tails off to disprove it.

It rarely happens, but it does. It doesn't disprove peer review in any way.

Also, everyone knows these liars and charlatans are accepting money from thinktanks to split churches apart.

Evidence is everywhere. You just refuse to look at it because you don't want to believe in God.

AND NOW BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED AMISH DISCUSSION.

The Amish are hardcore forgivers. I remember that one time where they forgave the murderer and cared for the murderer's family. That's radical and completely unheard of. Murderer offed a bunch of Amish and the entire community went "don't fuck with his family, they're not to blame."

Hardcore.

What biblical evidence do you believe does not exist?

>no scientist worth their salt and NOT a corrupt piece of shit would ever willingly suppress evidence and research just because it doesn't fit their worldviews

Have you even read the Climategate emails?

>as the Soviet Union wasn't interested in knowing the truth of stuff,

Are you?

I don't know about the Amish specifically, but the Hutterites (another communalist, simple-life, anabaptist sect) use technology -- even internet and computers -- but only in a communal sense.

That is, Jedediah doesn't have a computer in his house, but his little anabaptist commune probably has something like a library where computers exist for him to use.

Smart phones, actually, are a major question for these sorts of people today, because they allow kids to have access to internet porn, while a phone is often necessary for daily life as a personal good.

>isolate yourself from the world at large, you will always be part of it no matter how much you try

These old-order anabaptist types DO engage in the world, though. Amish construction firms, amish furniture sales, amish tool makers, amish trinket sellers...they're all something you see in amish country. And they buy seed, fertilizer, and farm machinery just like anyone else. Even in the cities, I see old order mennonites and other such beards and bonnets german speakers running around all the time.

The big thing that really sets them apart is that they're *personally* not supposed to own unnecessary tech themselves for their own ends; anabaptists were some of the first "communists", and it really shows.

>I think they will be gone within 100 years entirely, when they realize the huge advantages of modern technology.

I agree that they may face extinction, but not because of tech. The rigid communalist lifestyle and their own passive xenophobia against outsiders makes converts to these old order anabaptist sects rather rare. Basically, they only increase in numbers by breeding, and they have rather fixed gene pools. Not good for them in the long run.

Have you read about how Exxon-Mobil knew about global warming and suppressed all that science in the 70s?

Have you read about how big oil funds bad science that laughably tries to disprove global warming, just like like how the Koch Brothers fund bad religion?

Do ypu even know about how the tobbaco companies tried to squelch how bad cigarettes are for you?

>mostly

I actually can't believe people like this exist. Full rejection of the truth.
