1. How the hell does he know there isn't new life inside the peanut butter? Did he examine it with a microscope?

2. The peanut butter is treated with preservatives that would tend to kill most microbes.

3. The entire history of peanut butter and shelves doesn't add up to a miniscule fraction of the time that the earth had to generate life from base chemicals.

4. Evolution makes no claims about the origin of life. For all we know it was planted here by aliens. Nothing in this video is in the least relevant to evolution.

5. I love how she's standing in a courthouse. Apparently someone's still stinging a bit from the decisions in Pennsylvania heh heh. It also points the fact that all these discussions are political, not scientific, and that the fundies don't give a damn what the real truth is as long as its kept out of schools and their infintesimal headspace.  

Whenever I think theists can't possibly come up with a stupider argument, once again they prove me wrong.

At least they're consistent. Or is it relentless. Okay, you're right. It's stupid.

OMFSM how could I have ever been so blind? Belief in God is as simple as looking at a jar of Jiff!

Indeed. The basic ingredient in peanut butter after peanuts is SALT, the most basic preservative of all.

One wonders what creationists would say if they were all forced to know how evolution worked in the first place, instead of making ridiculous strawman attacks.

Ok, I will agree that is probably the most stupid thing I have watched in awhile, and thankfully, it only consumed 2 mins of my time.I supposed his point was non-life to life doesn't happen in everyday life. Here he is assuming the uniformity principle, the thing that most evolutionist assume as well. If non-life to life occurred, then it would occur the same way that evolutionists say it occurred, in a protein soup (hence the peanut butter ). But I think a better example would have been my pool, when i forget to put chlorine in it, that seem to spout new life all the time....

PS I am very much aware that some evolutionists do not agree on origins, I think this "documentary" was specifically aimed at the people who believe in the primordial soup theory.

So I guess, is non-life to life a rational theory? Any takers?

Look at how much work it takes to persistently misinterpret scientific theory. Look at the massive unsupported, inexplicable claims you have to accept unconditionally as a starting point for their "alternative theory."
It's so frustrating. Evolution is such a simple concept, you have to make it more complicated not to understand it -- which is what all these quasi-authorities do. Like it's too terrible to bear the notion that over millions of years we've become the most intellectually advanced species on the planet, rather than being some fickle deity's self-loathing playthings.

Peanut Butter Man forgot about our unique ability to seel food products hermetically, not to mention the very slow process he's trying to disprove. But he may indeed (inadvertently) make a solid case against Darwin's Origin of Species as it applies to natural selection. Read on and try to keep an open mind...

If natural selection, as a means to explain evolution, was valid how is it possible that someone as comically dull as Peanut Butter Man came to exist this far down the evolutionary chain? Ehh?

Welcome Aedak!  Glad you're here.

We'd love to have you tell us something about yourself in the General Conversation, Introductions and Humor thread when you get a chance. 

No, natural selection doesn't imply that dullards are less likely to screw. It tells us that genetically inferior organisms are less likely to survive so over time their inferior genetics are removed from the pool. But of course it was all in jest and I'm well aware of the very sad fact that idiots not only breed all of the time, they tend to do most of the breeding.

You have to be incredibly impaired to actually be significantly less likely to reproduce, to the point of eventually being weeded out of the gene pool, simply because todays society makes it easy for less advantaged people to survive and reproduce.

Today's society is nothing like the "wild" environment in which our ancient ancestors found themselves.

I seen this video on youtube and was almost crying with laughter. Not one person on it understands evolution on a basic level. They need to take basic biology classes. It is pointless even making a thread regarding this level of dumbassery. The banana thing was bad enough.
