I feel so tall whenever I see the point fly over someone else's head.

I should watch a video of Creationists trying to disprove evolution every morning. I feel so smart right now.

Oh god... I've seen this clip before and every single time I cringe at the blatant deliberate ignorance.

AHAHAHAHAH!

That was beautiful, thank you ^_^ Think I'll go generate some life out of peanut butter now, just to prove a point. *goes searching for lightning*

That is the most ridiculous argument for anything I have ever heard. Peanut butter is not primordial soup, you moron!

My brain broke the first time I saw that.

I assume you have seen the argument that bananas are proof against evolution because of their perfect design for human consumption...

[marag.livejournal.com]

Bwah! The banana one is totally my favorite! It never ceases to make me giggle hysterically.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

I've only read about that one -- I can't bring myself to actually watch it -- and just reading about it is hilarious.

[marag.livejournal.com]

I can only watch a few minutes of any of these things before my hilarity turns to discomfort. Y'know, like when you're watching someone make a total idiot of themselves, but they don't know it, and it makes your stomach hurt?

...:O And they're serious about the banana argument? Could they not take the time to Wikipedia banana history about how humans engineered them to be easier for human consumption? I, wow. That's an incredible amount of willful ignorance.

Oh good grief. *HEADDESK*

[vivian-shaw.livejournal.com]

....whut.
That's the special kind of stupid. On the other hand, I now feel like a Nobel Prize laureate.

[kurukami.livejournal.com]

Wow. The stupidity and willful blindness there is just astonishing.

Completely off-topic, but I LOVE your icon.

I can't be the only one who, when the guy said, "100 years ago" expected the follow up to be "When the Earth was formed."

I must now share a story:

In college I took a class on religion in America taught by a guy who had grown up Evangelical and, well, had gotten over it. He'd gone on to write books about the subject and do a documentary on PBS.

One part of the documentary had him going to one of those Creation museums. He sat down with the spokesperson and had a conversation about how they could try to explain a young Earth theory on things that clearly took a long time to create. Like the Grand Canyon.

The explanation for a quick creation of the Grand Canyon, the guy said, was that a volcano blew up and created the split.

Cut to: my professor with a long, quiet look on his face. Then saying, with admirable patience, "And the fact that there's no volcano in the area....?"

I don't remember the guy's reply. I was probably laughing too hard.

[smallship1.livejournal.com]

I don't. I just have to keep telling myself that they're joking, that it's a joke argument, or I just wouldn't bother any more. If that Goon Show argument is not only seriously proposed, but seriously believed by anyone at all, then as far as I can see there is no future for humanity.

I did a paper on the battle in the courts over teaching evolution vs. creationism. This guy actually looks smart compared to some of the arguments I read. Like that teaching evolution is endorsing a religion.

....yep, and my god is Skippy.

Oh, Jesus, the peanut butter one. Because a jar of peanut butter on the shelf SO MIMICS the state of the earth 4 billion years ago, don't you know. Almost as good is "How did water evolve?"

I love your icon with all my blackened wee soul.
