I can't believe the juvenile demonstration put on by this fundamentalist group. And they don't think people will disabuse them and question any ability to have synapses that go beyond rote?
By the way, Chuck Missier, who you are watching, has been accused of, and he acknowledges, that numerous times that books he wrote were plagiarized. So much for all that Christian morality.
"If the theory of evolution was viable, then I should, occasionally, by subjecting this [he holds up a jar of peanut butter] to energy, end up having new life."
Got that?
He thinks that the Theory of Evolution predicts that when we 'subject to energy' (from the context of the video, by 'energy' he apparently means lightning) jars of peanut butter, new life should sometimes result.
That is definitely the dumbest thing I've read today! (probably this week - maybe even this month)

I wonder what C-D handle he posts under?
We don't have anybody that obtuse on here do we?
(Not that I will name any names, but yeah, we actually do. In spades!)

The reality is that a lot of fundamentalists WANT and NEED to believe so they will accept the thinnest of rationalizations to support their belief. Guys like this don't need to make sense, they just need to sound authoritative and be passable public speakers willing to go on record with a provocative angle and an air of confidence. As my dear mother used to say, "they" wouldn't let them say it if it wasn't true. She really believed you couldn't just make stuff up or "they" would come and take you away, or god would strike you down, or something. I am glad for her sake that she wasn't around long enough to be disabused of that notion, I think it would have crushed her. She was a good, honest woman who just couldn't imagine "men of god" and "lying" in the same sentence. And yet here in this video is one doing it, in spades.

I'm by no means an expert on evolution, but I'm like 99% sure that their explanation of what evolution teaches is completely incorrect. Evolution is a process of life changing over long periods of time, based on natural selection. It does not state HOW life started, and thus the 'peanut butter argument' which would be stupid all the same even if evolution meant what they think it means, is basically unrelated.
I think this one might be worse that Ray Comfort's banana argument. Which is pretty impressive actually.
