A Funny Thing About Creationists - Part 1

[argh523]

I often got confused by how native english speakers exclude humans from apes, until I discovered that there are serious people who define ape as "all apes except humans", quite literally, for no good reason. It doesn't make sense biologically, it's just a word game.

[argh523]

@argh523 The way "ape" is defined it's kind of usless to use it to talk biolog, just like "fish" it is used as a composit of species / families that don't fit the biological ancestry. If one insists to use it that way, fine, but don't use the word when discussing about what descended from what then. If your definition explicitly conflicts with genealogy, it it usless when discussing genealogy. That sould be obvious.

[argh523]

@argh523 In german, we talk about "Affen", but that doesn't mean apes, but monkeys. Ape kind of translates to "Menschenaffe", but this includes humans. This was the source for my confusion, and this applies to other languages as well (I'm aware of french, scandinavian languages, dutch, probably a lot more)

So, in english, it's correct to say "humans aren't apes", but for the wrong reasons, it's just a word game and adds needless confusion if not properly defined up front.

damn, what the hell is that song at the start? i know i've got it but can't remember the name

[ScienceIsKnowledge]

@eternalcrumpet

"Gee's and Hustla's - Snoop Doggy Dogg. It's from the "Doggy Style" album.

[rhatcher010]

Nice video. I'm wondering what song is playing at the end? It's very interesting.

[ScienceIsKnowledge]

@rhatcher010

"Tom Waits - Make it Rain."

That song was from a live performance on the Letterman show. Incredible Artist.

[rosamadchen]

Can't help but to notice, is someone fucking in the background?

[mehja1]

When I first saw the "banana man" video I thought he was doing a wonderful satire about creationist. It so brilliantly exposes the stupidity of their reasoning.

I am still deeply shocked that Ray actually is a creationist this is really, really meant seriously!!!

[ScienceIsKnowledge]

@mehja1

Yeah. The look on Kirk Cameron's face is priceless. It's like deep down, he's thinking, "Ray, you idiot".

[Kalphiter45]

@mehja1 Poe's law.

[Darkstar1484]

Ah, the bannanaman intro reminds me of my childhood with the old bannanaman cartoons.

[Townecross]

You too will bow your head. Good luck in your useless endless search. by the way is science saving my life or prolonging my suffering? no lives are saved on this earth we all die.

[Townecross]

You too will bow your head. Good luck in your useless endless search.

[Townecross]

@ScienceIsKnowledge like I said read the bible and you will find knowledge real life stuff dosnt mean you have to worship it 

[Townecross]

when you finally give into having faith then you will truly enjoy your short time here and you can stop looking for something you will never find. God bless you and you can pick up a holy bible at walmart for 12.00 bucks and you will read all that science has just plagerized. its all in there.

[Townecross]

you say its like a jigsaw trying to find the trans. fossils leading to the human race what about dino fossils they find them perfectly intact but these hard to find missing links still have not been put together but when you actully put this jigsaw puzzle together you will prove all of us god fearing loonies wrong. good luck with trying to figure out how god created all of whats going on around you.

[bloty02]

Niceone m8..well made video and very true to the real world..im glad you made this vid..

[HiHitch]

where does the bush/bin laden clip come from? its pretty awesome...

[Pelonetillo]

im gonna be a mutha fuckin hustla. you betta axe somebody...

[FaganRoberts]

Anyone notice there are no pictures or clips of communist atrocities? Selective bias here.

[ScienceIsKnowledge]

@FaganRoberts

Then you failed to notice images of Viet Cong atrocities during the slideshow.

Nice try though.

[Townecross]

What about transitional fossils. If evolution really is what happened why has it stopped happening?

[ScienceIsKnowledge]

@Townecross

Stopped?

[Townecross]

@ScienceIsKnowledge yea stopped how come apes are not turning into differant types of humans today they have not progressed a bit again where are the transitional fossils (you know the fatal flaw to Darwins theory) why are there no fish cralling out of the sea now why was it so evolution so rapid and as far as i can see it has just stopped. I would rather spend my whole life believing in god and find out there is nothing then spend my whole life not believing and find out there is something.

[kingmystyk]

@Townecross ht tp://bit. ly/hllaH3

No transitional forms, huh? ..."knowledge is power," thus religion is weak.

[bloty02]

@Townecross OMG...Townecross? umm.. maybe because it's happening very slowley and our life time is only a very small part of the transition...hello..It is still happening via time. Did you think of that one? Sorry, but i can't believe the stupidity of some of these comment's...It baffles me what people will say to stick up for religion...let it go..there's no magic master..

[Townecross]

@bloty02 well it seemed to have happened so fast befor why the slow down and again where are the transitional fossils hmmm wow what a good question darwin could not answer that one no scientist today can answer that one so lets hear what the almighty bloty has to say. I would rather spend my whole life believing in god and find out there is nothing then spend my whole life not believing and find out there is something.

[Townecross]

@bloty02 Well evolution seemed to have happened so fast before why the slow down why are apes not evolving into new types of humans? Again where are the transitional fossils hmmm wow what a good question Darwin could not answer that one, no scientist today can answer that one. So lets hear what the almighty bloty has to say. I would rather spend my whole life believing in God and find out there is nothing then spend my whole life not believing and find out there is something.

[bloty02]

@Townecross You make absolutley no sense at all.. What make's you think evolution was happening fast before? That's my first question to the GOD almighty Townscross. Secondly, he transitional fossil's you refer to are being found all the time like a massive jigsaw puzzle, but that happens slowly to, you dont just find them anywere, scientist have to look for them and piece them together which aint easy. Just take an hour or something to get it into perspectiv'e.. Evololution grand.

[wowzix]

@Townecross Ha, ha ha ha.........sorry, i found this retaredness so funny.. I never realised there was such retard's around....WHY THE SLOW DOWN? Are you seroiusly asking that question?

[illbetilbake]

i find it a bit ironic that the people who reject the fact we evolved from apes actually would use an ape's favourite fruit as proof that we never had anything to do with apes.

[hoopmajik]

sorry for being a nazi, but we didn't evolve from apes, we share the same ancestor blah blah blah

[rkyeun]

No, it's accurate to say we evolved from apes. It's inaccurate to say we've evolved from any of the apes living today. But we are hominids, and hominids are the apes.

[wowzix]

@hoopmajik .We and apes descend from a common ancestor

WE ARE APE'S, thats a fact.... all species fit in a family of organism's,,, the (hominiae)ape family is were humans fit in

the family Hominidae consisting of chimpanzees, gorillas, HUMANS and orangutans[1][2] collectively known as the great apes

[pat5168]

@hoopmajik No, we evolved from and still are apes.

[ScienceIsKnowledge]

@pat5168

No. we evolved from a type of primate that shares common ancestry to ALL apes. Lemurs also share ancestry from the same primate.

[pat5168]

@ScienceIsKnowledge No, that common ancestor was an ape, we are a subset of Great Apes. You are an ape.

[NKA23]

@illbetilbake

The funny thing is that bananas aren´t just apes´ favourite fruit, but also astronauts favourite food when in space.



[TLSlayer]

and dawkins is the voice of reason and logic.

[BallisticGinger]

i would mention that he isnt the only voice of reason... he's just one of the most vocal

[TLSlayer]

and thats extremely important,its time to end the ironic bloodshed and turmoil that is history's legacy which continues to curse humanity by irresponsible fear.

[TLSlayer]

likewise,excellent work,carlin rules.

[freezatron]

nicely done, Carlin sums it up beautifully as does Dawkins :)

5 stars matey

[Boy192]

Awesome compilation

[19Cameron96]

After Seeing this vid I subbed. Bravo. :)
