Fundies are more into mistranslated texts originally dictated by raving, hallucinating zealots hopped up on mind-altering chemicals (sometimes years after having lived), and less into fuzzy, web-footed cover art. Show this to your everyday clergyman and you'll get something like: "But who made the ducks and bunnies of the world? Where did THEY come from?"
Whether it's the Bible or scribbles on a post-it note, fundamentalists only read the bits that are in line with their unrealistic ideals. Give them a dictionary and they'll only pick out the definitions that reinforce these ideals. If you really want to educate a fundie, be prepared to deal with the conditioned response they've developed over time and in reaction to any point of view that runs contrary to their own. These are people who embrace the unreal and the impossible as a means of coping with reality.
EDIT: And OP deletes the (re)post. 90 minutes of well thought out antifundamentalist rhetoric. Wasted!

I'm a scientist, but I really don't like puzzles. :/
[–]OmegaSeven 3 points4 points5 points 26 days ago*
Isn't science just one big important puzzle made of a bunch of tiny puzzles?
What you do for recreation is of course your own business.

I loved it.
[–]chumia40 0 points1 point2 points 26 days ago
I had never seen this, but but I have always thought of religion and science like this... Religion has like 5% of the puzzle done and starts guessing Bullshit about what the puzzle might be and stops putting it together because it already formed a stupid and far fetched guess of what it is. Science on the other hand has a higher percentage of the puzzle solved, and makes educated guesses about what it might be, but never stops putting the rest of the puzzle together and when another piece comes along that change the current view of the puzzle it changes its guess and reevaluate its views to support the new developments.

Sorry.
[–]kmach -8 points-7 points-6 points 26 days ago
Neither bunny is correct. The puzzle is not finished and no one can possibly know what the final piece is. The atheist bunny assumes it is going to make sense with no evidence. He is just as potentially wrong as the religion bunny. That is why militant atheism is just as stupid as any other religion.
Also, this is what Carl Sagan and Neil Tyson mean when they say they're agnostic. It's completely unknowable what is next. Why assume?
[–]Lumpyguy 3 points4 points5 points 26 days ago
Well, you can clearly see the pond, the trees and winnie the pooh, so the atheist bunny is clearly correct here in saying that it's probably not a duck.
There might be a duck on the last piece, but even if it were the atheist bunny would not be in the wrong.
Unless you think that last piece will somehow negate or remove the pond, the trees and winnie the pooh, I don't see how the atheist bunny is wrong in this image.
[–]kmach -1 points0 points1 point 26 days ago
Why can't it?
[–]Lumpyguy 0 points1 point2 points 26 days ago
Why can't it what?
I'm sorry, but I really don't understand what you're trying to say.. :(
[–]MrsLoveKaulitz 2 points3 points4 points 26 days ago
What a sad troll. Atheism is not a religion. And the duck in the picture of the case is a huge duck... more than one piece, so if you don't see any duck-like appearances in the other pieces, there is no duck.
[–]tallunmapar 0 points1 point2 points 26 days ago
First off, I don't see why you assume the other bunny is an atheist. There is no mention of gods anywhere, just religion vs science. This could be a metaphor for evolution vs creationism or big bang vs creationism or a whole host of other issues. These issues are independent of the existence of any gods.
Second, to say the bunny has no evidence is strange considering all the pieces it has found and put together. Does that not count as evidence? It seems to me that the skeptical bunny has almost all the evidence by the end, and all of it supports its hypothesis and clearly refutes the hypothesis of the other bunny. Knowledge is not an all or nothing situation. As you gather information and evidence, one can estimate the probabilities that several hypotheses are true or false given that evidence. Based on the relative probabilities of these hypotheses, one can make judgement calls on what to believe if the probabilities end up being good enough. If you wait for total evidence and 100% proof, you will end up never being able to make judgments on almost anything. Would you really, in this situation, still say it could be the picture of the duck? Or would you see all those pieces put together and agree that it is instead a picture of Tigger and Winnie the Pooh?
Also, the claims are not on equal footing. The first bunny claims a complete understanding of the picture. A single piece of evidence that counters it can disprove the claim. In this case, disproving evidence came very quickly. The bunny should have concluded it was, to some extent, wrong from the get-go.
The second bunny never claimed complete knowledge or understanding. At first, it merely wondered if the other's claim was correct. When counter-evidence came, it only concluded that the other's claim was incorrect. It did not claim it knew what it really was. It was only after a lot of evidence came in that it could form a rational hypothesis. There is so much evidence now, it is clear that Winnie the Pooh and Tigger are in the picture no matter what the last piece is. And even if the last piece contains a duck, it still would not make the first bunny right.
Finally, what is this talk of being militant? Does the skeptical bunny have a gun? Did it threaten violence? No. It simply asked questions and gathered data. How is that militant?

Reposting one of the top all time highest r/atheism posts, that was reposted 3 days ago... go back to 9gag with your terrible digging
[–]comicsans2012 3 points4 points5 points 26 days ago
Never been to 9gag. Thanks though. I figured if it was a repost it would just get downvoted. It's that arrow on the left that is pointing downwards.
