Do an experiment. Put four things in front of your child; say a piece of fruit, a flower, a clam or shrimp, and something else, say your pet. And ask how all of them could have come about by accident. Which is what evolution basically says.

Do an experiment. Put four things in front of a fundie; say a piece of fruit, a flower, a clam or shrimp, and something else, say your pet. And ask him to make working copies of them out of dirt. Which is what creationism basically says.
Next ask yourself :
(A) If you think this is a valid experiment?
(B) If this is an unfair caricature of creationism?
(C) If you know what "argument from personal incredulity" is?
The child ate the fruit, patted the kitty, smiled at the flower, and ignored the shrimp. Your point?
Actually, I did this with my two year old sister, though I had to substitute the shrimp with some tuna, is that okay?
Results:
Cat: She petted it.
Tuna: She played in it.
Flower: She ignored it.
Apple: She held it, and put it back down.
Now explain what the point of that was?
No, that's not what evolution says, you're a liar. Maybe you could try to learn about it before you bash it, but it's probably too complicated for someone as stupid as you.
Do an experiment. Take a loaded gun, hold the barrel to your head, and pull the trigger.
We already know what the outcome will be, but the gene pool will thank you for your contribution.

Hi, Chris Hansen here. Why don't you have a seat.
“Do an experiment.”
To discover…. what?
“Put four things in front of your child; say a piece of fruit, a flower, a clam or shrimp, and something else, say your pet.”
Okay. Why a piece of fruit, not an apple?
And if they’re all living things, why not specify ‘put four living things’?
“And ask how all of them could have come about by accident. Which is what evolution basically says.”
Except evolution doesn’t say that and my kids know that.
This is like an AI attempt to fake an experiment. Gather some bullshit and arrange it in a pattern that resembles an experiment…
But you don’t give the child any choices. You don’t grade them differently if they pick the fruit or the pet. You don’t really think there is an answer to the question. And you lie about what evolution says.
What you’re doing is giving a sermon, not asking a question, and you think that agreeing with you is the only rational response. But mostly you’re showing you know fuck-all about evolutionary theory.
There IS an element of chance, but the most important parts are not random.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
