PZ Myers’ recent post, which included a creationist mangling whale evolution, reminded me of this series of videos:

oh man, you really are a bastard!
I got totally sucked into those vids. They are really well done! Sometimes I can see soem places where are creationist would glaze over. But wow.
🙂
From the third video: “In order to understand why this is bullshit…”
That was awesome! Totally caught me off guard after watching the first two. Great stuff, thanks so much for posting them.

I love these videos. I’ve actually been subscribed to them for a while now. I truly love the whole “ice shield” that explains the flood. Someday I really wish we could hear peoples thoughts when they try to come up with all this BS.
This is simply GREAT! Those videos are really well done!

who made thes?
Who made these? This YouTube user: http://www.youtube.com/user/Thunderf00t
Well, gee… let’s see. Not all idiotic beliefs come from creationists. I can think of some that came from evolutionists, can you?
1. Piltdown jaw – was a hoax that lasted for, um, let’s see, how many DECADES? All because evolutionists saw what they wanted to believe, and didn’t bother to investigate the actual evidence right under their noses as thoroughly as they should have.
2. Or more recently, um, the whole idea that HIV causes Aids was just revealed as being without merit based on tainted evidence published way back in 1984 in one of the most prestigious (and PEER REVIEWED, no less) science journals on the planet. Wonder why it took so long for anyone to replicate the tests AND validate the results AND have ’em published in Science. Cany anyone spell “retraction” (oh, I guess that’s just too embarassing)
I’m not excusing any of the lame arguments presented in these videos, but if you guys think all creationists would agree that there is no water in solar system except on planet earth, then you’re cherry picking opinions of a few with the hope and intent that it will make all creationists look like stupid idiots. Gee, turns out that probably MOST creationists wouldn’t agree with that point of view.
Sure hope it makes you feel good to pinch those wacky creationists and their totally ridiculous notions, as if nothing like that ever came from evolutionists or other ‘real’ scientists who allow their perspective to color their view of the evidence so much that they immediately expect (and whoa, find!) confirmation in everything they see. There’s a phrase for that, and it’s called CONFIRMATION BIAS.
Ouch, I can really feel the sting of your argument. Wow. I guess we should just ignore anything ANY of those crazy creationists have to say…
1. Piltdown jaw – was a hoax that lasted for, um, let’s see, how many DECADES? All because evolutionists saw what they wanted to believe, and didn’t bother to investigate the actual evidence right under their noses as thoroughly as they should have.
I’m not sure how much the evolutionists embraced Piltdown Man or how many people had examined it. It was, however, discovered as a fraud by scientists.
To quote TalkOrigins:
2. Or more recently, um, the whole idea that HIV causes Aids was just revealed as being without merit…
Yeah, that’s helping your case. I’m not even going to bother arguing.
Sure hope it makes you feel good to pinch those wacky creationists and their totally ridiculous notions…
Yup. Did I mention that I was raised to believe in young earth creationism (both in school and at home)? I have a pretty good grasp on the whole idea; I’m not just some outsider with a few vague notions about creationists and what they believe.
Oh, so I guess the alleged failure to reference it made is somehow more acceptable that it continued to remain “on the books” as a legitimate ancestor. I just love the way TalkOrigins tries to minimize the impact, how revisionist of them. You should do your own research instead of relying on what they say (which makes you no better than those crazy creationist quote miners…)
One of the heaviest promoters of Piltdown man was Sir Arthur Keith, who wrote as late as 1948 that:
I am firmly convinced that no theory of human evolution can be regarded as satisfactory unless the revelations of Piltdown are taken into account. The Earliest Englishman (1948) p.xii
Then there are comments like this one to consider:
“When preconception is so clearly defined, so easily reproduced, so enthusiastically welcomed and so long accomodated as in the case of Piltdown Man, science reveals a disturbing predisposition towards belief before investigation.”
Reader, John in Missing Links. Collins, London, (1981), p.81.
Being raised a creationist has nothing to do with leveraging their wackiest notions and expecting everyone to believe they all think the same way. They don’t.
I was also raised as one. So what? That’s not the point I made. The point is: you can’t take a swipe at obviously flawed science, whatever the source, and extrapolate and attribute those views across an entire group. It doesn’t work that way, and anyone with any sense recognizes it and dismisses your argument out of hand (as I do).
