Fundamentalists say the funniest things
Jul. 22nd, 2007 05:03 pmI seem to have been using this icon a lot more recently, which I suppose is indicative of my continuing sense of complete bafflement at this country.
This video has been around for a few months now, but I only just discovered it yesterday. The people who believe in evolution (with all our irrefutable evidence that's built up over the last couple of hundred years that annoys the creationists a bit) might as well give up now, because they've struck back with the argument to end all arguments. Evolution can be disproved by a simple demonstration with a jar of peanut butter.
These people truly live on another planet. (If anything in a jar disproves evolution, it's Marmite.) As unlikely as it seems, some of them have worked out how to use keyboards and as a result the comments are equally laughable. Not that I'd recommend reading them, because they're quite a danger to IQ-force.
Apparently another common argument against evolution is that if you hammer nails through a plank of wood, leave it lying around for ten thousand years or so and come back, you'll probably find that it hasn't turned into a house. (However, the advantage of this experiment is that it does leave you with a handy tool to beat some sense into whoever suggested it in the first place.)
I did try to get over that video and write about something else, but I can't. What were they expecting? Undead peanuts?
Edit: I've just realized that the first man in that video is Dr. Gish, as seen in Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure.
