Kirk Cameron and Banana Guy are back. And this WILL piss you off.

I've had conversations with people who thought that an exclamation of "Whatever..." was the equivalent of delivering a coup de grâce.

Oh man, I hung out at Loose Change (a conspiracy theory forum) and the popular refrain was "you got owned" or "pned". I just couldn't stand it. I would make a good argument and someone would say something inane followed with "you got owned". Debating folks who don't understand logic is like nailing jello to the wall.

Next time ask your friend if the cat weighs the same as a duck.

If I were someone who knows his way around the theory of evolution, and I like to think that I am, I wouldn't agree to be shown in any video those two idiots were making.

Dont be too sure...

He who holds the copy of SOny Vegas, or FInal Cut Pro holds the truth...I could edit george bush to make him sound like einstein

I find that unlikely, as I am pretty sure Einstein knew how to pronounce nuclear.

Good one!

But Jack Bauer can't either...

Everyone in that film was stupid... the people asking, the people answering, even the people watching.
I hate when people say we evolved FROM apes. Did you evolve from your brother? no. Apes and humans share a common ancestor, one did not come from the other.

Yeah and apparently the planets evolved or something too. My brain literally* exploded after watching the first five minutes of that movie.


*I use the word literally figuratively.

But that ancestor was much more like apes than humans.

 

[senorpogo]

I'll take that as a compliment.

It most definately was.

It is just a video, so I suspect they probably edited out anyone that came within a few miles of a rational response to their ridiculous questions. So I’m mildly optimistic that those in the video were the absolute worst sample possible, and it can only get better from there.

More like apes? From the video, I thought this Kirk guy thought we evolved from horses. I’m sure I heard him ask that a few times.

Hmm, I tried to work Yahoo into a funny response to this, but it just wasn’t working for me. So I went with this one instead.

Wow, this thread has been great in getting me psyched for an event I'm going to this weekend, where an acquaintance will be working in a "creation science" information booth. I plan to wear my FSM shirt.

Creation science, ya gotta love it. They take the oxy out of oxymoron.

 

[TheAntiLuddite]

I found this exchange rather amusing :
I think this sums up their whole approach. They're simply just appealing to people's ignorance and fear, while offering absolutely no evidence for their God. Sadly, there are too many people out there that will lap this stuff up.

Absolutely. I've read a number of posts in this thread where people have reported being angry after watching this. I, too, used to get angry, but I finally decided that there is just too much of this nonsense in contemporary American society to get angry every time I have to witness someone maligning science in order to invigorate their faltering supernatural beliefs or to maintain their delusions. I finally resigned myself to the fact that these anti-evolutionists are simply the flat-earthers of our time. They have a little more knowledge about the natural world (thanks to science) than their ancestors, but will allow that knowledge to affect their personal belief systems only so far. Their response always brings to mind the image of a group of chimps hooting and screaming and thumping their chests when encountering a beeping cell phone or any sufficiently strange and unexpected object in their territory. The typical primate response to anything new is to:

1) Screech and jump around a lot until curiosity takes over.
2) Cautiously explore the object, usually by knocking it around and chewing on it.
3) Finally, integrate the object into the new reality.

Regarding evolution, the religious fundamentalists are still in the screeching and jumping stage.

Edit: Another reason for the fundamentalists' hostility toward science might be that rather than embracing new scientific discoveries on their own, science must always drag them, kicking and screaming, out of their supersititions and into the light of true knowledge.

Especially because they argue that the Banana is made to go in your mouth because of how perfectly it fits. Pardon my forwardness...but if that is true...what does that tell you about the penis?

Corrupt minds must deprave alike, because when I saw the banana video, I was overcome with disproportionately profuse laughter when he fellated the banana to demonstrate his point.

 

[bluess]

Would that be bananafellation? Or bananalingus?

I guess we really weren't supposed to eat apples, then, as they're round and hard to start biting on. Or oranges, since they have that nasty peel.

Or anything you have to cook first.

As my hero, Bugs Bunny, would say ... "What a maroon!"

Yeah, I was wondering about artichokes and cabbage. Let's not forget cabbage, I mean it wasn't even edible until some guy with a lot of time on his hands and relatives he didn't really like took the time to make it non-toxic.

And the banana as we know it isn't how "God made it".

Bingo. Now who can get hold of some bootleg out-takes that make Mike Seaver look like a Boner?
