Nevermind the fact that if there was new life in there it probably wouldnt be seen with the naked eye, dude might want to be a little more scientific if he is going to try and use science to support his absurd claims.
It was like he was saying that according to the theory of evolution a squirrel should have jumped out of this jar of peanut butter.

What do you think left the peanut on top?

And ignoring the fact that evolution does not even attempt to address the starting of new life; that's like saying gravity is false because new life does not form in peanut butter!

Actually those backward cultures are ahead of us... by pressing in the tab on the bottom then peeling you have an easy to use handle to hold the banana with (the stem) and eat the whole thing without having to leave a bit at the end.... Monkey's also do it this way.

How could god allow us to open a banana the wrong way??

He didn't use the all-natural form of peanut butter? What a tool. There are peanut butters without preservatives. He should try that next time.

I also love the logic of the whole thing.
If they had any sort of scientific background, they'd know that you can't disprove the existance of something because you haven't observed it.

Sure we've been opening millions of jars of peanut butter for 100 years, and to date, a new form of life that will one day usurp us, and begin to eat "human butter" sandwiches, but we can't say that that means evolution doesn't exist (regardless of the fact that it's irrelvant in this case). Who knows maybe we're only a few jars away from unleashing an unholy army of peanutbutter scourge.

I mean come on, how many "peanut butter jars" has nature had a chance to open to create humans in the last few billion years...ooops I mean 5000 years.

Evangelicals make Baby Jesus cry...

I can't believe how stupid these people are.

I think Sopranos said it best... "If there were dinosaurs with Adam and Eve, they would have been running around s***ting themselves and scared... but wasn't it supposed to be paradise?"

Not to mention the Noah's Ark v. the Diversity of Species argument.

I like the fact that when he opens the jar of peanut butter, the safety seal was obviously previously lifted, as though they're uncertain enough about their expiriment that they had to peek inside first just to make sure there was no live squirrel or similar surprise.

...not to mention the fact that the jars are sealed... without air, life can't proliferate, or even survive. But they're already so far up their own asses, thats not even worth mentioning.

Those videos make me barf. The complete idiocy, ignorance, and incompetence is quite astounding. Only in the USA can you use PB and a banana as proof of god.

I wouldn't be too sure of that.

It isn't peanut butter, and bananas (hey I wonder what effect these revelations would have had on Elvis' choice of sandwich), but it isn't too far off.

My favorite is the video explaining the following:

1) Codes cannot convey information unless their creator gives the code meaning

2) DNA is a Code

3) DNA contains information

4) Therefore DNA must have been created by someone i.e. God.

I love circular logic, there are no loose ends to tie up.

BBS, that is downright scary. And to think those idiots are in our backyard. Time for a good 'ol fashioned witchhunt!! Or at least a grade 9 education.

I watched a fantastic show on PBS HD last week about the great floods in Missoula, MT - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/megaflood/lake.html
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/megaflood/fantastic.html

They actually said that the same thing could have happened up here in Drumheller for our Badlands. My fiance (a geologist) explained it all to me, and it is very interesting. There have been massive floods all over the world, I think thats how the Dead Sea was formed, IIRC. But hey, they can use this as "proof" of Noahs flood...whackos...

These guys want proof that Evolution is a myth? Easy, all they have to do is look in the mirror. They are no smarter than the monkeys on this planet.

Well, now that that issue is put to rest, we can move onto using the squash to prove that the world is indeed flat.

The thing that both sides don't get is that evolution doesn't equal atheism.

I'm sure numerous people on the 'evolution' side have affiliations with God or some similar higher power, myself included.

Creationism is about the debasing of science that Christianity (and other religions) have been working towards for the last, oh, 1800 years
