Ray Comfort Is A Complete Idiot… Yes, I Truly Mean That
This video is fun all the way through. I’ll point out a couple of points that is all I needed to know that Ray Comfort is indeed an idiot.
At the 8:30 mark Ray asserts he knows where existence came from and tries out the watchmaker story but with a painting.
When they talk about paintings being obviously made by a sentient intelligence… I can only think of Koko.

Meeting Koko is on my bucket list. If you think like me, it should be on yours too.

Ray Comfort thinks that animals are just automatons that humans are given dominion over – to do as we wish.
At about the 10:30 mark they launch into a discussion about design and sand. Of course Ray is having none of the sensible argument. He’s certain that anything and everything in the universe is designed because he can’t fathom how to create anything in nature. At 12:05 Matt tries to explain it…
Of course, he won’t go into what is the definition of ‘nothing’ because then he’d have to know something.
It turns out that a whole lot of the sand we know was created by weather or animals… not a creator god.
The second most common type of sand is calcium carbonate, for example aragonite, which has mostly been created, over the past half billion years, by various forms of life, like coral and shellfish. It is, for example, the primary form of sand apparent in areas where reefs have dominated the ecosystem for millions of years like the Caribbean.
Ray thinks you have to have ‘faith’ to believe evolution but his faith in a god is different. There is huge amounts of evidence for evolution yet people like Ray won’t bother to listen or investigate for themselves. They’d rather claim it wrong than give up their actual faith in a god. He’s a certified idiot. Check out time mark at about 22 minutes. Then have a look at some of the evidence in the video below. It is but one source of information with evidence for evolution.
Yeah, if you want a soft target Ray Comfort is about as soft as they come. He is one of those that makes me bang my head on the wall because he says stuff publicly that makes him sound like a moron, heck, that makes all Christians sound like morons. Other soft targets include Pat Robertson, Kirk Cameron, and anyone from ICR.
Typical head banging moment: According to Ray Comfort, the banana is the atheist’s nightmare; as he considers its ease of use, nutritional value and “color-coding” to be irrefutable proof of intelligent design. There is a whole wiki page on it if you want a laugh.
I think we should all stop feeding Comfort.
