Evangelist Chuck Missler Disproves Evolution With Jar Of Peanut ButterThis is the best they can come up with? Now, seriously. My dear Christian friends who read this journal, who I deeply respect for your above average reasoning skills, I hope you don't find reason to defend this fraud! I'm sure there

This one was so absurd, I couldn't even get upset! In fact, I have a ridiculous grin on my face while typing this.

I love when people can dumb down and simplify something so far that it's no longer even reasonable let alone factual. This guy and Ted Stevens should start their own "Explainin' Things Easy" comp'ny!

Ha! That was pretty funny.

You know what bothered me about this video? -- the smugness. Obviously he disagrees with evolutionism, but it requires faith to believe God created everything. A Christian can spend all their time trying to scientifically prove creationism, but it leaves God out, or at best, subjects God to our understanding of things. Personally I think it requires faith to believe in evolution too, but are people really going to come to that understanding with a disrespectful dismissal of their beliefs

Exactly! We can debate all day about the merits of evolution vs. creationism, but what can you say to, "Well, duh. This peanut butter prooves it, dumbass."? I like the "reporter" lady in the beginning who says something to the effect of, "Everybody knows that evolution is a fairy tale." Don't I feel stupid now? Pfft. But that tone would make the simple-minded folk feel all that more self-confident, and would feed into their ego enough that they would never question the simple fallacies of the argument

Ugh. I don't even know what to say at this point--it's all been said.
I just hope people don't believe all Christians subscribe to Peanut Butter Logic.

Without people like you, it'd be way too easy to believe that.
