this is super boring.

who was this made for?

This video is an excellent demonstration of the term, "Straw Man." In this instance, the Straw Man is a Creationist. Thanks for this example, kronosposeidon!

"A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position. To "set up a straw man," one describes a position that superficially resembles an opponent's actual view, yet is easier to refute, then attributes that position to the opponent. For example, someone might deliberately overstate the opponent's position. While a straw man argument may work as a rhetorical technique—and succeed in persuading people—it carries little or no real evidential weight, since the opponent's actual argument has not been refuted."

Your copy-paste skills are second to none. Too bad I can't say the same for your logic.

what example?

we know what a straw man is.
what you have to do now, is point to at least one statement, that this clip attributes to creationists, that you feel isn't a typical creationist argument.

that would be an example.
