evolution pwned by peanut butter

[BART]

[jumpman23005]

+1 to religion

[sloskimmer]

ohh yeah, who ever believes in evolution must be retarded. Way more realistic that some guy just magicaly created everything.

[ZapBulletRider]

I hope all you non believers have learned a valuable lesson from this.

[jake]

they pwnedm me harer than the bannana one

[narwhal]

they pwnedm me harer than the bannana one

hahahahaha the "banana" one was alot better but nevertheless it's still so funny.

[Scrub]

can i say frack religion without offending people? no? well then i won't.

[ZapBulletRider]

you can't say it without looking like you're ignorantly generalizing, no

[Scrub]

i took that risk, and I'm okay with that. It's skimonline. I think religion is great for making people happy and nice, and provides faith to those who need it. The churches around here are so cracked out and confident, they condemn all the other churches and take people's money, it's disgusting.

[narwhal]

can i say frack religion without offending people? no? well then i won't.

I understand how your generalizing a look on evangelicals and extremist muslims into a lump of all religon. (very stereotypical view of a normal American) Which is wrong and very offending to people who get lumped into that. (myself a christian)

[Scrub]

but some of the nicest people i know are christian, i don't hate religious people. just mostly the people who run the show, I think I've felt this way since reading Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis. And my dad telling me about how his experience pursuing a career in the church.... and all the reasons he quit

[narwhal]

Religion is not need for everyone to lead a goal riding life, but to some/many it's needed.

I am a very very very liberal christian and at many time question my faith. 2 years ago I would of considered myself agnostic. But I still pursue a question to why. and it makes myself feel better.


If some one does not fit the semi picture of a christian, I dont consider them one/in my view.

[Scrub]

Sorry, i don't get this statement.... could you clarify?

[Mmm... Pasta]

I'd laugh if when he opened that peanut butter some wierd critter jumped out and bit his face.

[Ryon Graf]

was this a professional production? haha.

Mr. Engineer and Author apparently never heard of the Urey-Miller experiment. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller-Urey_experiment

[Dzan]

I wonder if anyone told them that the origins of life doesn't fall within the domain of the theory of evolution.

[Icej]

So is he saying that god opened the world, the peanut butter jar, and exposed it to the new life?

I fracking knew it.

[junwin]

yeh cos every time i open a jar of peanut butter.. i expose it to the amount of energy that was present at the big bang

for the record i hate peanut butter

[jake]

seriously, are they just really stupid, or just dont care and are trying to propagate

[omi one]

Could some one send these people the definition of "Preservatives".

[ZapBulletRider]

I wonder if anyone told them that the origins of life doesn't fall within the domain of the theory of evolution.

something tells me it wouldn't have mattered

[RexSkimmer]

i really cant tell if they were serious or not

[Ryon Graf]

uhhh.... actually it kinda does fall under the domain of evolution.

[Cheungman]

videos a joke. So the theory of Evolution is a fairy tale. But some supreme being made the universe. Which is more plausible? (its rhetorical)

[BART]

uhhh.... actually it kinda does fall under the domain of evolution.

have to agree with dzan, that the theory of evolution doesn't attempt to explain the origin of life. but i am wondering along what lines you're thinking.

[skimfrk123]

dudes think bout this...scientists say that the big bang or w/e first happened was created by uneven amount positive nd negative atoms or sumtin like that...but wat created that first thing that sparked it all?
so that is why i believe in god..nd even if evolution did really happen which i believe it did..i still think god created that first spark

true story

[Dzan]

uhhh.... actually it kinda does fall under the domain of evolution.

Evolution deals with the evolution of species, not the origins of life on Earth, which is more of a bio-chem area of study..

[Ryon Graf]

Evolution is the process of adaptation, speciation, and increased complexity in organisms over time. Some could argue that the complexity is merely an artifact of billions of years of change and tinkering that is inherent to mutation and natural selection. For example: most of the human genome is junk DNA that does not transcribe to genes and consists of tandem repeats, leftover retrotransposons, and other things that are not used, but propagated anyway. All of that complexity had to come from somewhere. So, because a part of evolution is an increase in complexity over time, there must have been an orgin of that complexity; an origin of life. A classical aspect of Dawrin's theory is that natural selection is controlled by natural (as opposed to supernatural) laws of the world. After all, every atom in our bodies was once non-organic matter. So, how did the first organic molecules that gave rise to the first organisms originate? How did these molecules form into macromolecules and larger series of specialized organelles? Most importantly, how did these conglomerations of molecules become self-replicating? These questions are within the domain of evolutionary theory, because they are interlaced with questions on the change in life over time. Hence, why I referred to the Urey-Miller experiment.

[Dzan]

The origins of life don't fall into the province of evolution, because even if it was proven that the first life on earth was created by an advanced alien race it wouldn't change the theory of evolution or the mechanisms thereof. All you're saying is they are both within the general science of biology and thus somewhat related, which is absolutely right.

You didn't read my last statement. Evolution involves the change in life over time, and that change is garnered by natural laws. That change has to start somewhere. Along those lines, it would be illogical to assume that life would somehow develop via some other means than natural laws of the universe, then switch over to the laws of natural selection.

The assumption that life began by intervention from aliens does not explain the origin of life. After all, something must have given rise to the aliens.

yeah what he said... organelles and shit.

[Duffskim]

i dont think evolution got pwned. in fact i think it was a dumb comparison. (peanutbutter and evolution)

Right.... but the point is the origin of life doesn't matter to an evolutionary biologist anymore than the Big Bang matters to a NASA astronomer studying planetary motion. You don't need to know the origin of life in the universe to study evolution or vice versa.

even if it was proven that the first life on earth was created by an advanced alien race

i can see it now. they are monitoring us and i have found out that they are the ones that are also questioning our gullibility to take human testing videos like this seriously. that's why no one ever knows where videos like this come from...

they don't want to be found, it's all a hoax
