I was just watching this funny Youtube video when my mind wandered a little and a few random thoughts connected themselves. A few days ago I stumbled upon a web site which linked a video titled “The Scientific Case for Intelligent Design – Darwinism Debunked“. I didn’t have the time to watch it then so I put the link aside. Today I had a quiet afternoon and so I watched it. Below are my notes dissecting the video as it went. It’s quite common for Creotards and IDiots to argue that certain scientific theories break certain laws of physics. It’s an interesting attempt at an argument, using science to disprove science! Over at the Missing Universe Museum website (another Creation/ID website that can provide many many hours of entertainment) they have created an little Evolution Test which they propose students give to teachers to see how they react. As you can probably already imagine, the test is rather silly, and the questions posed are almost entirely rediculous. However I (as a non educator and non scientist) shall attempt to provide at least reasonably accurate answers. [...] If you find yourself with about a month free, and feel like melting your brain, you could always pop over to http://www.jesus-is-savior.com – but I wouldn’t recommend it. But when you start reading some of that massive content, that’s when the brain melt will set in. It’s just a constant barrage of idiotic [...] It appears that some evolutionary biologists at the University of Colorado have been receiving death threats from some religious nutter. Apparently, which ever coward is issuing these threats, is so insecure in their own beliefs that they think that someone unrelated to their every day lives working in a field of science is so absolutely evil that they should die! It is surely incumbent upon us all to be intellectually honest about the things we believe in – even if it is only to ourselves. Even our most centrally held beliefs must be available for inspection, and subject to alteration if for instance new evidence surfaces that makes the belief no longer tenable. Reading the results of the survey linked in my previous article I was astounded with the apparent lack of understanding of the validity of science and the discoveries and theories that have resulted. The survey showed that there were not only a significant number of people that believed that evolution hadn’t been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, but there were also some who believed that the evidence had in fact disproved evolution.
