BBC's Conspiracy Road Trip: Creationism
March 11, 2016 at 10:59 pm
"Comedian Andrew Maxwell takes five British creationists to the west coast of America to try to convince them that evolution rather than creationism explains how we all got here. Stuck on a bus across 2,000 miles of dustbowl roads with these passionate believers, Maxwell tackles some firmly held beliefs - could the Earth be only 6,000 years old, and did humans and T-Rex really live side by side? It's a bumpy ride as he's confronted with some lively debates along the way, but by the end could he possibly win over any of these believers with what he regards as hard scientific fact?"
See? We're not so different over here...
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.'

Sorry Stim, had to turn it off after about a minute.
my mind started wandering and I started looking for something sharp to stab myself in the eyeballs with!
"Scientists are liars" with respect to evolution. fuck me! The imbecile force is strong with Abdul from Sth London!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

I watched it all. Not bad but nothing unexpected. 5 childlike adults, emotionally erratic and clinging to creation and the bible when presented with evidence. Sometimes painful, sometimes funny particularly the guy explaining our ancestry from Adam and Eve "so they had Caine and Abel and well. ..they had children I think...is that right" pathetic. 4 of them refused to acknowledge any of the evidence but at least one of the girls began to question her fairy tale after listening to the professor about human evolution.
You could sense the utter fear they had when anything began to encroach their faith, either walking away, crying or getting angry. Pitiful to actually see this in real life when I'm normally used to only seeing their writings in a forum.
