Quite a good one.
From Youtube...
Why Do People Laugh at Creationists, Part 32.
Kent Hovind and his retard offspring Eric Hovind push 'four questions', and attempt to contrast how science views the question with how their particular sect does. The underling sentiment is 'it more pleasant to believe ours, therefore its more likely to be true'. Needless to say, its more pleasing, and the questions are better answered if you assume you are 'God'. Just because it makes you happy, doesn't make it true.
Anyway, the obvious follow on to this is what does science say about mankind, and how does this compare to anything obtained from any of the bronze age religious texts.
As you can guess, the religious insight into the shape of mankind is a joke.
As always, open source for educational purposes, enjoy! :-)

ryanbennittsays...Religions and religious texts came about because there was a problem that needed solving at the time, and someone just happened to solve it by mysticism and indoctrination. The results ultimately helped communities to cooperate some more and kept people in line, although in some cases, they were cooperating and following orders to find more ingenious ways to kill other groups of people. Sadly the sacking of civilizations ultimately led to the loss of big chunks of knowledge that might have put us where we are today somewhat sooner. I'd like to think that we're getting closer to global peace than we were 2000 years ago. Religion is still a separator of people and that is why it must go the way of the dinosaurs (whether you're an evolutionist or creationist, they're still buried under tonnes of rock). We've grown up under the father figures of various gods and we are ready to take the first steps as an adult global civilization. With science and education, freedom of speech and the likes of the internet, our global knowledge pool and global group have ample replacement for the likes of religion in order to solve modern day global issues that the bible etc doesn't touch on.

spoco2I agree with what he says wholeheartedly, but I'm not a fan of the form of this video, or its production values really... so I won't upvote, I demand more from my anti creationist brethren
