Evolution basics and a quick look at what some of the real findings over the last century have been. This explores the fossil record mostly, other and at least as important developments have been made in the area of genetics. Specifically in tracking common genetic markers between species to show heredity.

Another in the "made easy" series by Youtuber potholer54.

50,000 years ago a group of European Neanderthals were sitting around debating intelligent design, when a Cro=Magnon strolled in and asked, "what you guys talking about?"

I don't know about you but I'm hangin' with CrocaDuck Boy on this one!

This is an absolutely fantastic video.

The nylon-eating bacteria basically proved the entire thing. That's all you need to say. It's like maddox's "ok you like the matrix, but why did we have to see keanu reaves' ass?" it just trumps EVERYTHING.

Ken Hamm is an embarrassment even for conservative evangelical christians who embrace creation and intelligent design. Most will privately acknowledge that he's a crackpot. The guy's got no cred except among the low-iq snake handlers, weeping madonna believers, and other mouth breathers who populate the ranks of christendom.

Kansas was about to ban the discussion of evolution from schools. I think where they do discuss they have to stop and read some garbage about evolution being a theory. If I were a parent there I would be very mad about my kids not being taught evolution or even having some doubt cast on it.

What? No retrovirus markers? But I loved that one! Oh well, guess I'll have to go around and pass this out to all my friends who still believe . . . should make for some lively discussion afterwards.

I was hoping for more in that direction too, but I guess you can only fit so much into a less than 10 minute video. The nylon angle was one we don't see much elsewhere and was a decent use of the time I suppose.

Maybe I'll try to dig something up that goes more into the genetics side assuming someone doesn't beat me to it. Read a very cool article a while back which I'm sure was linked here in the first place, the proof on that end seems to me even more solid than the fossil record suggests. Rather than getting weaker over time as some suggest the "theory" just gets stronger. Fascinating 8 page article, a bit long but worth the time I thought.

But, the BANANA!! It is like god designed it to fit perfectly over my penis! And why is it all slippery??!! It's like there was some designer who enjoys sex with fruits! I can't believe a "theory" can explain how perfectly the banana peel fits my johnson. I suppose next you'll tell me that my grandfather was a chimp that also stuck his unit inside various fruit.

The concept of a "molecular clock" is not a hard one to grasp, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_clock
While the rate of mutation of speciated DNA varies with the method of analysis, it can be fairly calibrated with the fossil record and, more recently, retroviral DNA insertion. These concepts are the "smoking gun" of common ancestry of modern humans/neanderthals/chimps/great apes. While bones and flesh decay, making the fossil record incomplete, DNA lives on.

I was actually discussing this very area of contention with my father on the ride home from the family X-mas party. Many of the same old arguments that have been destroyed here and other places were brought up. I'll have to show him this if it comes up again as I was no where near as concise as this in my translation...it's tricky business with people who are easily offended by anything other than religious suggestions/influence.

Rottenseed, you aren't the only one. When I showed my wife and she saw that part she mumbled to herself "yeah, kind of".

Is it me, or does the voice-over sound like Yahtzee on valium?

im frankly embarressed that in the future people will look back at this time and say there was even a debate on the issue.

What is it you people don't understand about the bible?

It's right there, you can pick it up and read it. What is it about the creation story and genesis DON'T you people understand?

But the magic-man says that all was created in a magical poof! Its all in the book. You see? Don't you get it? Magic! Its real! Witches are real too. They must all be burned of course. They are made of wood. Thus they must float like ducks. So stick any person in water. If they float. They must be made of wood. They therefore weigh as much as a duck. Thus they must be burned. Its that simple. Logical isn't it? Makes perfect sense. To those with less than half a brain of course.

Great, great, concise and wonderful video.

I don't have any friends who believe in creationism (at least not that I know of yet), but if I did, I'd be showing them this video.

Take THAT crocoduck boy...
