The Primates is generally a wonderful, terrifying collection of stupid. But today’s comic is truly a product of the minds of Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. It’s exactly the kind of stupid you would expect from the dynamic duo.

Today’s Comic

The Deconstruction

I don’t think I actually have to say anything, do I? I guess it’s my job, so I’ll just point out the obvious.

“How were we able to think before we evolved?”

What does this question even mean? Each time I try to deconstruct it, it just defies understanding. I can’t tell what is even meant by the terms. What does he mean by ‘think’ and ‘we’? It’s unclear, and I don’t want to assume, considering how badly Ray Comfort understands evolution in the first place.

Well, either he doesn’t understand evolution or he’s a blatant liar misrepresenting evolution for his own gain. As you might recall (skip to the 3 minute mark):

If he’s going along this line of thought then it completely misunderstands evolution. Here, enjoy some AronRa for a fun smack down:

Though let’s say he actually understands the idea and is actually curious ‘how we thought’ before we evolved a brain, or a brain advanced enough for thought. Well, the question is still silly. The question is just as intelligible as ‘How did you think before your brain formed’? ‘How did you pass the exam before you learned the subject’? It’s just depressing.

The Revision

It’s almost too depressing to try to make a revision. But I’ll try. Since Ray is all about hypotheticals, and is all about the guilt trip and sin, let’s try one:

How could Adam have known that eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was wrong if he had no understanding of Good and Evil? How could he be fully culpable if he didn’t understand? Free will doesn’t answer this because without knowledge of consequences, much less concepts of morality, how could one with free will make a moral choice? It’s basically handing a baby a gun or plastic bag. It has free will, but without understanding how it cannot know not to pull the trigger or put the bag over it’s head.

Best not to think about it.
