Macs are better than PCs. Discuss.

Well scary, like PROPER scary in the U.K. we only really read about these nutters but seeing them is something else... (worse than that we tend to suppose most Americans are this way - so again with the kudos for this post)

And macs Vs. PCs? What kind of intellectual retard are you?

I can only assume you are making the (non)point as you yourself believe flying dinosaurs carried Noah's sons around the globe to collect the indigenous species?

Good Viewing!!
I wanna know what side of the fence Jaxon sits on Evolution or Creationism?

Interesting ... most of the ratings are either "lame" or "amazing." Makes sense. There's not much middle ground on this issue.

I would like to know what skeptics of evolution have to say about antibiotics. Explain why a drug can efficiently kill germs at first, but then a few germs with slightly different DNA are able to resist the medication. Those germs survive and multiply by the billions, until you have a medicine that is worthless.

Isn't that survival of the fittest, or evolution on a microscopic scale?

Everyone knows the Christians are all right, cuz they are the only religion.. WRONG. get of your high horse you religious nuts. I was a Christian, but i got better, I began to think and study. Keep your faith out of my schools.

Wow, is this seriously the first time this link has been submitted? I could absolutlely swear I've seen this Penn and Teller "Bible suxxx" shtick at least two times previous to this one. I know you guys all think anything that bashes Christianity is gold, but come on, don't you think you could just watch one of the old ones again rather than nocking down new and better material?

ok, so the argument the jesus folk are using to get this into the classrooms that people of all faith pay for is this:
creationism is another theory as to how we came to be and therefore should be presented to allow the student to decide for themselves what to believe.

if that actually is their best argument as to why a religion should be taught in a school then technically all theories of our existense should be taught. i believe the nordic people believed that a giant cow licked some ice and unfroze man (if i'm wrong i appologize to my viking friends reading this. please do not pilledge my town.) most people are gonan think that's pretty far fetched and shouldnt be taught as science. (not me, of course. i complete support the mighty norseman's beliefs.)

so how does this argument fly if it cant work for the nonjudeo christian religions? oh wait thats right, because they want their beliefs taught instead of science, not alongside.

again i'll say that christians will stop at nothing to remove all doubt that their religion is false.


....not like the vikings

I wanted to say something else.
The vast majority of the US is Christian, Catholic, Jewish, or Muslim. If we all wanted creationism to be taught, you'd damn well better know it'd happen and there's nothing you could possibly do about it short of run away.

But we don't. It's the rednecks, the crazies, the evangelicals that the media is interviewing, with a minority of generally confused Catholics following along because their government-like religious structure is telling them to. Some states are unlucky enough to have a big enough following that it might happen, and I mourn for it just as much as the rest of you. Why the hell can't church and state keep a little more separate? -_-

The real issue is understanding.

All of these people pushing for creationism just don't understand or 'get' evolution. They find it too hard to grasp, too 'improbable', too difficult to accept that they just may be descendant from apes. However, give them one book to read, one man in a pulpit telling them the way things are in really damn simple terms... and they can handle that. They can easily go 'God created the world in 6 days'... one sentence, I can understand that.

It's a refusal on their part to even TRY to spend some time understanding scientific reasoning, fact and method. They just don't want to. Accepting the bible is EASY, and that's the way they like it. It's too much EFFORT to learn about science and to allow yourself to understand it and see 'my god, I might actually be wrong'.

It's the way of most of the bigotry, hate and violence really, a lack of effort in learning about other things. "Just leave me with my ways and my tiny set of beliefs, and don't you dare have any others or try to teach me otherwise".

I'd feel sorry for them if there weren't so damn many of them and they were running the world's most powerful nation into the ground, and taking the rest of the world with them.

I would love to have the Human race destroyed right now. Then I wouldn't have to read all these stupid video responses where people argue their point and think they are getting somewhere.

I'll say what I say to my kids. There might be a god, and there might not. People will tell you that the Bible is god's message to us, but it's paper and ink and glue, just like a romance novel. It comes from a book manufactory somewhere, just like a comic book. It's written in an ancient language that is not spoken by anyone on earth, and has been translated many ways, by many men, like the Iliad and the Odyssey. When did god deliver this message to you? He didn't - you had to buy it at the store, or receive it as a gift, like I'm OK, You're OK, or the Origin of Species, or Catcher in the Rye. It comes to you from man, period. It doesn't mean you reject it, but it means you don't worship it. It is not of god.

Christians like to ignore the fact that Jesus himself rejected the tenets of his own religion (hate thine enemy, eye for an eye, etc.), never said anything about homosexuality, rarely was in a church of any kind, except to decry it a den of thieves and its inhabitants hypocrites. He said that to display our religion in public was also hypocrisy, that your government was not the custodian of your soul, that rich people would not enter heaven, that to judge others was the job of God alone...I could go on forever, but the fact is that, like the Bible in general, Jesus had some great ideas and the best intentions, and yet, like the Bible, he's been twisted and bent to fit this self-serving, power and influence seeking social agenda. I read the new testament when I was about 12, because I wanted to know for myself whether he was for real. I was amazed to find that his teaching was really wonderful and enlightening, and was ashamed of the "Christianity" of which I was supposed to be a part. It is, with few exceptions, the wolf in sheep's clothing that Jesus himself warned us about. I truly believe that it's evil.

As for the matter of evolution vs. intelligent design, I make this point to my children: Ask 100 creationists if it's possible that God perhaps does not exist, and 95 of them will tell you that this is NOT possible. Now ask 100 believers in evolution if it's possible that there is a God, and 95 of them will admit that of course it IS possible - we can't call it impossible if it can't be disproven.

Now which 100 people are likely to contribute something reasonable to the debate, and which 100 should be suspect?

Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't NEED to follow ME, You don't NEED to follow ANYBODY! You've got to think for your selves! You're ALL individuals!

I was pretty sure that this episode existed and almost submitted a duplicate because of the wrong title.

Mirror added, BTW:

The correct episode of this show is "Creationism", as it was from the first season of Bullshit, #8 to be specific. First aired: 3/14/2003. Maybe a correction is in order?
