In Pan's defence, satire or not, it's still really unfortunate that there indeed are people, who are not being satirical and are this way.. Tongue
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Did you guys see that at the very end they claim that these were all quotes taken from fundamentalist websites?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Yes, the video are just actors reading genuine quotes from creationist forums.

Cin, the actors and people who filmed it are atheists, but the comments themselves have all been made by genuine creationists.

It's always been that way. Like how those who deny evolution tend know absolutely nothing about it.
The less you know, the more absurd things you can believe.

The cure is education, but how do you educate those who quite simply, don't want to know?

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
