SubscribeFormerly known as “The Learning Channel”
Remember when KFC was “Kentucky Fried Chicken?” When “fried” became taboo, the company deftly shifted the moniker to simply KFC. Well, these days learning is taboo and not only that, it’s boring! In a prophetic move, “The Learning Channel” re-branded itself as TLC in 1998 and never looked back. Free from the clumsy shackles of educational programming, the network has released such appalling drivel as “49 Kids and Counting.”
Last Saturday, TLC (Think Like Crazies?) premiered a new program featuring yet another magical dude pretending to talk to dead people. Only this time, he finds out which sucker…err..grieving family member is really supposed to get all the cool shit the deceased left behind. Who needs a will?
Ben Stein – amazing academic genius, except when it comes to creation.
When I was a teen, I used to love watching that TV show on comedy central called “Win Ben Stein’s Money”, where contestants would fight for the right to challenge Ben Stein one on one in trivia questions. If the contestant won, he’d get bragging rights and a fat check for $10,000 or more. Out of the 10 questions they asked to Ben, I usually could answer 3 or 4 correctly. Thus I only beat Ben Stein once, when I answered 6 and he posted an uncharacteristically low 5 correct answers. I always thought Ben Stein was a really really intelligent guy, until I learned he was a creationist. I’m sorry, I meant intelligent design activist. Anyway here’s a video of my childhood vision of genius and nerddom acting like a complete moron.
Banana Man Forced to Confront His Bullshit
Ray Comfort, AKA. Banana Man is a televangelist.
Thunderf00t is a prodigiously active maker of anti-creationist videos on Youtube.
Long story short, Thunderf00t challenged Ray Comfort to a debate and Ray accepted. The debate was roughly an hour and a half long and the first entry is linked to here. Thunderf00t performed magnificently, deftly disassembling every argument Comfort provided.
He provided an alternative to God, (Tod), and debated Comfort into admitting the only difference between God and Tod is that God has the Bible as backup.
He provided specific instances of observed speciation. Comfort stated believed in both speciation and micro-evolution, but somehow still would not admit to believing in “Evolution”.
There are more gems, I might post a few more later. Much praise to Thunderf00t for challenging Ray Comfort, and much praise to Comfort for accepting the challenge.
Ray Comfort is too set in his beliefs to change, but it’s still refreshing to see an open debate on these subjects.
On Abiogenesis
Abiogenesis is the theory of life coming from non-life. Check out this video:
A BBC Report on the Creation Museum
Here’s another classic…
The Duggars go to the Creation Museum
Ken Hamm: “This, uh, this right over here, with the two animatronic dinosaurs and the two children, has really become the icon of the museum in the secular world”
“We teach our children that evolution is something that a lot of people are teaching, yet it’s totally unscientific.”
My favorite part is the interviews with the kids at the end, who are so content in their regurgitation of what their conservative parents have pounded into their heads since birth.
Yay for Christians.
Peanut Butter, Bananas and Evolution
It can clearly be seen when he opens the peanut butter that the seal has been broken. Obviously, this creationist has tampered with the sample and already removed the new life to help prove his point. It’s amazing the lengths people will go to to push their religious agenda!
