Rebuttal To Creationist Peanut Butter Argument

This video demonstrates how creationists conflate the abiogenesis theory with a scientific theory that is now debunked in order to undermine abiogenesis, which, although not emperically proven, has good evidence behind it.

Creationism is dangerous to childrens critical thinking faculties because it tells them to shut off natural scientific explanations in favor for the supernatural, which there is absolutely no evidence for in any sense.

Creationists try and influence the minds of children and adults through deceptive tactics and fear. This video is using the former tactic in which they try and take advantage of peoples lack of scientific understanding of these concepts.

Discussion after watching the video - What other things can you think of that ceationists confuse or conflate with something else?

I assume you're referring to spontaneous generation - but there's a simpler reason that they get the peanut butter monster wrong. There's a whole set of industry standards designed at making damn well sure that no living thing comes creeping up out of our peanut butter.

Really? You had to make a video on that rubbish?

OK, I watched part of it. The sounds quality is poor, with the sound on the creationist clip that you're trying to refute being much louder and higher quality than your own. You need better sound equipment and audio levelling. You also need some basic voice coaching and better script writing. You don't have a full voice and you aren't using what you have well. Little infection or intonations, Your script plods, a bit like you're reading a grocery list. Combined, these flaws do not make for a good video. The imagery was reasonable but nothing exciting and you should try and get away from so many stills or it'll look like a powerpoint presentation rather than a video.

Given how done to death this topic is and how much work you'd need to do to get up to an even mediocre video you should stop and ask yourself if it's worth all that effort just to reach people who are either already convinced or never will be.
