I would love to see responses to this video!

Here's a video that claims to "destroy evolution in 3 minutes". Personally, I'm horrified at the abuse of reasoning, the manipulation of concepts due to lack of understanding and the embarrassing use of word-play toward the end...

Taken from Facebook, a page called "Jesus Christ is KING". Dated June 1, 2014.

Is the world we live in just full of these babbling idiots? I'd be monumentally relieved to hear some intellectual feedback on this wonderful exhibit.

Thanks!

I think someone already made a thread on this. The title was like "see if you can go more than 30 seconds without facepalming" or something. About that mark he says evolution can't be observed. In fact it can, and it's the foundation of modern biology. It's as much a scientific fact as all those other fun theories like the theory of gravity, germ theory, and so forth.

It's like many people think the idea of something not going past theory status is a bad thing. we don't know everything. We don't pretend to know everything. Theories change over time, but that doesn't mean a scientific theory is no less valid.

Honestly it wouldn't take a whole lot to destroy evolution. An actual crocoduck, or fossils being in the wrong layer of earth, or something like that. However it doesn't happen, and it's highly unlikely that your average joe is going to destroy one of the foundations of modern science in a few minutes.

Ah, sorry, I didn't realize this had already been posted on here! But you're right, and I feel as though someone could go on forever contradicting the guy's opinions with fact but his way of argument is manipulation and word-play, which is what really bugs me.

Sometimes someone says something that tells you they not only don't know about something, but they don't want to know either. Just a cursury look at evolution should tell you it's observable.

It's funny, back when I was still a christian I believed in evolution. I enjoyed biology class. I didn't really know there was supposed to be this big controversy, and figured that god started the process while everything eventually started changing over time.

It's annoying when talk about evolution goes into origins of life. Evolution doesn't explain the origins of anything. It just describes the changes that species go through.
