I don't know, that latter point sounds pretty fucking stupid to me - in the sense of "yeah, that's a legal theory that's gonna fly".
After his theory on the formation of the grand canyon, yeah not much surprising me on his stupidity.
It's amazing he found anyone willing to reproduce with him.

Hahahahahahhaha.
After 21 years on this planet, I've come to discover that anyone is able to find someone to reproduce with them.

Thoughts?
My first thought is "you're not running a web server."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Comfort in action against The Texan Tank:

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I remember listening to this and thinking, "Comfort obviously doesn't even agree with his own views, so why is he perpetuating his inane claims and continuing this pointless battle against evolution?" Maybe chicks love his banana?

I have watched both videos (the second some time ago)
All I can say is that I'm dumbfounded by this man's udderly rediculous understanding of evolution. Yet he does see how stupid this is abd thunks he better then darwin himself. Instead he should read and make sure he has a good solid understanding before he criticizes. For cuthlu's sake even william lane craig accepts evolution. In short he's so stupid it hurts.

You're assuming that Comfort is actually interested in portraying evolution correctly: he isn't. The fact is, he can make a lot more money by pretending he doesn't understand simple concepts and distorting them in order to sell his videos to equally inept creationists. For evidence, I submit that both Aronra and the Atheist Experience folks attempted- fairly successfully- to explain evolution to Ray, and he didn't modulate his argument at all, even during the damn interviews themselves.
He's just a fraud, plain and simple.

I'm really upset that this thread isn't about Bananaman of 29 Acacia Road.
