God damnit.

There are times when all I want in life is a great big spade and something to hit with it. I'm half way there right now, all I need to do is find my spade...

It's hard to tell if they are just dumbing things down for an example or if they are just dumb. I personally lean toward the idea that these people really believe that they've come up with some explanation for why real science is flawed.

Unfortunately it's pretty simple to just tell someone like this that without a microscope and a clean environment it would be impossible to actually tell if life had been created or not in your peanut butter. Likewise, peanuts ARE living matter, so I'm not sure exactly how he plans to sort the existing living matter from the new living matter.

Well hells bells! I never knew that evolution and abiogenesis were the same thing! Thank God for peanut butter!

Seems legit to me.

@dotdude What happened to the original? Why's it discarded?

I have no idea. There are no siftbot votes for sifters to "reclaim." There are no comments for discarding it - not by siftbot, nor by me.

I'm not going to worry about it.

@dotdude What happened to the original? Why's it discarded?

My parents have seen this guy talk a couple of times and much of it is utter shit, but they are growing more and more fundamentalist Christian as they get older. A year or so ago when I was home, my dad actually said that he thought the part of the reason that the US economic crisis was so bad was because of all the abortions that had happened... less people to raise "demand." I was stunned into complete silence and then choose to not respond at all as one sometimes has to do with relatives at holiday time.

It's been sifted even before that, at: http://videosift.com/video/Peanut-Butter-The-Atheists-Nightmare
