"Do you believe that you came from goo, then to the zoo, then to you?"
I'm sure he was trying to be clever, but, um, what?
It's a little known fact that what you believe determines how you act. And if you believe you came from a monkey, doesn't that give you permission to act like one too?
You actually make an interesting point. Of course, your example is beyond idiotic as I have yet to meet someone who believes in evolution and acts like a monkey (shooting up schools is not acting like any other animal besides Humans). However, it lead me to a better example for you to use; "If you believe you came from god, doesn't that give you permission to act like him too?" Now of course a good fundie would say that the bible doesn't allow for man to think he can be god, but fundies certainly have a habit of watching how he supposedly acted and using it as an excuse to mimic it. All the torture, all the hate, all the acts of random violance, all the ignorant and small minded thinking that the bible spews forth as actions of a good god has become acceptable to many because they think their god is good and so his actions must be good too. So, in this case what you believe determines how you act and it's certainly not something that one should aim to reach for. Given the choice I'd much rather act like a monkey, (even though Humans didn't evolve from monkeys) innocent to all that crap and simply living their lives in peaceful bliss. Of course that's the cowards way out, but I rather be a coward than a mass murdering, racist who goes around screaming that people are going to hell. Thank you for pointing that out even though you are too ignorant to realize that your little comment can be taken both ways and actually only makes sense one of those ways.
You can't trust your own thoughts.
Another idiotic conclusion, but I can't resist doing this: *points at you* Case in point. If I were a fundie this would be enough "logic" to conclude that I am right and you are wrong.
Bear in mind that this idiot must be under 18 surely. One, he doesn´t understand evolution and second, the ten commmandments were NEVER posted in any school. Among other things, because no kid can commit adultery.
This is one of the most useless videos on youtube. The leaps of "logic" and inconsistencies are staggering. Even if I am your so-called "slave" to chemical processes, how is that in any way connected to a lack of control over my thoughts?
I suppose one of the serious side effects of having public access to the net is that you will inevitably get imbeciles who think that their opinion matters. Guess what, dumbass... believing in things does not make them so.
Get a fucking education.
He doesn't seem to understand that "act like a monkey" is a metaphore . No human literally acts like a monkey. They have their own separate social structure, habits, mating rituals, instincts, etc. that are fairly different from those of human society.
That egghead should have read the bible before he opened his mouth:
Genesis 2:7
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
So is "dust" better than "goo"? I, for certain, prefer the "goo"!!
It's a little known fact that what you believe determines how you act.
This is a little known fact? What do these people think determines how they act?
I don't think he understands what 'vestigial' means. He shows a diagram of a whale skeleton and its vestigial pelvis and femur, and from this he says that 'evolutionists' claim that "whales evolved legs and became cows." If that was so, cows would (probably) have vestigial whale-like features, not the other way around.
Wow. He even pulled his picture of 'giant fossils' off of a site for artists to display their picture altering skills:

Do fundies not beleive in photoshop either?
Oh, and his silverware evolution would be relevant if he could prove that either silverware breeds or horses don't.

Guess this picture would be very relevant:

Reminds me of an old folktale I read a few years ago, I think it was a Middle Eastern story (Persian, perhaps):
A poor man goes to his rich neighbour, and asks to borrow a pair of silver spoons (I don't remember the exact reason he gives). When he gives back the spoons, he adds his last silver tea spoon, telling the rich man that his spoons had a baby.
A few days later, the rich man asks him to take care of all his silverware. A month later, the rich man visits the poor and asks how the silverware is doing, to which the poor answers: "great misfortune! They all died!" When the rich begins to kick a stink, the poor man points out that he was all too happy to believe that spoons could reproduce, so now he has to accept that they can die.
Morality of the story: people who believe that silverware can reproduce are morons ^^
Best quote from that video..."some scientists say that the Earth is about 4.5 billion of years old."
Um....wrong. Pretty much all "scientists" say this, not "some."
What's sad is that this kid actually has some somall modicum of talent here...too bad he has been brainwashed so completely.
Another priceless bit is where he says that if we didn't "evolve," then "God must have created us." When you reduce a very abstract scientific principla such as the origins of life to an "either-or" proposition, you are no longer doing anything resembling "science."
Another priceless bit...his "proof" about the size of the sun proving that it can't be "billions" of years old because of all the hydrogen consumed in the fusion process. This kid has not one shed of a clue about geometric progression and mass, does he?
All of the "proof" in this well-meaning but ill-concieved video is based on the loosest, worst understanding of mass, gravity, fusion, history, and basic scientific principals I have ever seen.
An education is a good thing. A little education is very dangerous, indeed. This kid needs to go back to school and finish his studies so he can find out how stupid he looks to the rest of us.
I'm going to call (somewhat lame, understated) troll. His sn is VenomFagX. His profile says that "I am a retarded Christian!"
Lame spoof, but kind of amusing.
At least, that's what I'm telling myself.
where are those giant human fossils?
On a hard disk somewhere, in the Photoshop saved-files directory.
Once of them was even, very obviously, a photo of a large Greek-looking statue being crated and transported.
Lying for your God much, NormanDan?
Phantasmagoria, good point, i x'ed it out before he finished after reading your comment, why the hell would i wish to subject myself to that crapy ass video.
Evolution of cutlery?? WTF??
Natalie,

Unfortunately.. it isn't a "troll".. at least not in the sense that you are suggesting. Someone started an account as VenomFagX because this kid, who is DEADLY SERIOUS uses the account name "VenomFangX" and he has disabled comments and rating on his videos. The creator of VenomFagX placed the video on that account and left the comments open, so that people could point out just how much of an idiot this cat is.
Alas.. this guy is for real.
And, might I continue to say.. very SCARY. Someone needs to give this boy a text book, something to read other than the buybull.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
