I'm merely quoting my quantum physics professor.

Yes its a very LOW probability, but the probability exists. Quantum mechanics also says that if you run full speed into a wall enough times, one of those times you will pass right through it.

QM states that all particles exist in a statistical "distribution" rather than at a particular location. It is only when you measure the particle that the location becomes fixed in space-time. This principle allows electrons to "tunnel" through a thin oxide (high probability with applied voltage bias and/or temperature), and it also allows all the particles in your body to "tunnel" through a wall at the same time (infinitely low probability).

Likewise, there exists a probability that all the particles which form a "cat" could be measured in such an arrangement (because each particle exists as a statistical distribution) that they form a "horse," if only for a fleeting moment. Again INFINITELY low probability, but it does exist.

Mindf*ck eh? And I'm asserting that evolution is even harder to truly comprehend than this!


"And no, quantum mechanics doesn't say anything about cats transforming into horses. Quantum mechanics says that quantum particles exist in all possible states at all times unless they are observed. You'll be nominated for a golden crocoduck yourself if you keep saying things like that."

^I'd say evolutionary theory is harder to accept, not grasp.

You think quantum mechanics is easy to accept? Planck, Bohr, Schroedinger, and Einstein all considered it ludicrous, and they were much smarter men than most.
Quantum mechanics says that if you place a cat under a large box, and lift the box to peek in enough times, one of those times it will be a horse. You're okay with that?


My own opinion is that evolutionary theory is rather easy to grasp and understand. Quantum mechanics, not so much. I mean, I can recite some of the implications of quantum mechanics, but they're still beyond imagination and I have no concept of how these things happen.

And no, quantum mechanics doesn't say anything about cats transforming into horses. Quantum mechanics says that quantum particles exist in all possible states at all times unless they are observed. You'll be nominated for a golden crocoduck yourself if you keep saying things like that.

Einstein and Planck essentially founded quantum theory, though Einstein wasn't fond of its implications, and Schrodinger is famous for pointing out how ridiculous it is. They all still believed it because the evidence indicates it's true. Not sure if you were implying that they were all disbelievers, but that's how I read that part of your comment.

I'll ask Lucky about it. I suspect there is a way to fix the avatar mix up if you want to use crocoduck (hilarious, btw). It's fine with me either way. Thanks for the heads up.

In reply to this comment by brain:
I finally uploaded an avatar to my profile. I uploaded a picture of a crocoduck, like the one here:
http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/9030/crocaduck1ce.jpg

And to my surprise, my avatar was not the crocoduck that I uploaded, but was a picture of a brain! A picture of a brain that I had never seen before!

So, on a hunch, I went to brain.videosift.com, and I saw a picture of my crocoduck on brain.videosift.com!!! WHOOPS! Somehow the two pictures are getting crossed and backwards.

The URL's are very similar:
My avatar URL: http://static1.videosift.com/avatars/b/brain.jpg?1227638582
brian.videosift.com picture: http://static1.videosift.com/avatars/b/brain.jpg

So I saved the picture of the brain I saw, and uploaded that as my avatar. So now we're both set to pictures of brains. I think the brain is pretty damn cool. I'm fine with keeping that as my avatar forever. I don't even care if it changes to different pictures of brains if the channel gets updated. So this isn't even technically a problem.

I just wanted to let you know since you're the channel owner. Maybe you can report it to whoever cares.

BTW, hopefully the picture I re-uploaded is the same size and quality as the original. It appears to be as far as I can tell.

No crocoduck huh? Well, that's it for me. Starting next sunday I'll go to church every week! Just one more question Mr. Cameron. How does the duck prove that Christianity is the right religion?

Seriously now, if he's so sure about the existance of his God, how come he is so insecure about his own religion that he has to convert every nonbeliever? I mean if he thinks that the people who don't believe in his God are idiots how come he wants them in heaven with him?

I had crocoduck for dinner last night, it was delicious. Very crispy skin with edible scales, a spicy orange-ginger glaze. Bert Parks was the emcee at the dinner- man that guy's got a great voice.

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...

Zorse! Take that, Kirk!

Crocoduck... pfft!

You simply cannot in good conscience keep a crocoduck off the Sift.
Or out of your garden . . .those things mate like indiscriminate bunnies.

One day, Kirk Cameron will reveal that it has all been a Kaufman-like act. Whatever it is, it is brilliant.

I know a version of this was posted, but its been foxed, (or crocoducked) on YT and this version includes a handy debunking for those of us who cant stand the Cameronian reasoning http://www.videosift.com/video/Kirk-Cameron-on-the-OReilly-Factor
