Video 3 - come on Discovery Institute - find your balls and dmca this one too!

[Fjordgnu]

Watching these makes me angry, knowing there are people who really do believe this stuff. I guess that's what makes it so effective.

[genobahamut1337]

No, that's not science, disinformation institute. Why don't you try doing what your name sugests and "Discover" a little?

[toelesshoe]

" this is science?" No, that's religion

[gregrutz]

@toelesshoe

it's just how creationists think, they leave out a few steps they don't understand.

[ViralMessiah]

i think it's pretty clear to anyone who's read a book,that Tumbleweeds evolved into New York City...i mean,seriously,they both have...stuff

[tsrox20]

...................facedesk...­........ *wham*

[ReductioAdAbsurdum]

I can't believe people are asking if these videos are satire.

They are HILARIOUS. <3 Them. Almost up there with Edward Current.

[buwka]

people might not be able to distinguish the satires from anything that the discovery institute actually produces because the arguments just seem so damned similar

[CathakCreos]

Again, a video playing on people not understanding what is actually being said... bleh...

[JRChadwick]

I still can not believe they actually filed the DMCA claims against these videos...

[FockerTheLopper]

are these satire?

[GumbaMasta]

Yes, this one's the satire.

[themanwhoknew]

Isn't it funny when Creationists use products of science (e.g. A computer) to bash science in an attempt to promote their archaic beliefs?

[caseyrainer]

irony, oh irony...

[themanwhoknew]

caseyrainer - In what way is it ironic?

[caseyrainer]

if you have been following the creation vs evolution debate, you should understand the fallacy in this video...

unless, this video is satire...

[themanwhoknew]

caseyrainer - It's satire. And there is no debate between Creation and Evolution. They're educational lessons because all they consist of is correcting errors made by creationists regarding...everything.

[nixonfanatic]

Satire 'til it comes out your ears, friend.

It's bloody well done, too.

Nix

[soundscapenyc]

this is wrong, because tumbleweed cannot not coexist with nothingness!! checkmate sinner!!

[GetMeThere1]

Actually, it's bizarre that the DI really complains about this. This video really does look EXACTLY like something they'd make--for a quickie "look at how unrealistic the evolutionists are" video.

I'm sure there are creationists who watched this vid on the satire DI ID channel and probably thought it was good "YEAH, those dumb evolutionists!!"

[GumbaMasta]

And maybe that's the reason they made a DMCA...they could'nt tell themself that it was'nt theirs to begin with.

[FreedomLiberty21]

hello friends, be kind and share this video with the real Discovery Institute

Just click SHARE and put DiscoveryInstitute in TO section, then put your own message about how awesome this video is in the MESSAGE section and send it.

Share the love.

[myrmecophilous]

Is that the chicago spire at the end? hahahah that thing never got built. (and probably won't).

[myrmecophilous]

Actually I bet they don't even have rights to that photo, or permission to use it.

[Jacnas]

ATTENTION ATHEISTIC DEGENERATES when was the last time you saw people randomly popping into existence as a result of space explosions from nothing?

[IsLikeThat]

Attention non-atheist moron: This has never been claimed by any scientist. Your statement absolutely reeks of ignorance, and I hope to god that you are joking, lol, because it would otherwise be quite sad.

[liberosveritas]

No atheist believes that.

[adafuns]

when was the last time i heard that? ohh it was when i read the bible.

[NichtDieseTone]

Nothing.

*tumbleweed*

*User facepalm*

[TheGrimReapress]

oh, no, my stomach, my stomach hurts from sooo much laughter, yeeeeeeah :D:D:D

[Bockatadi]

there wuz nothing, then god made stuff. hey creationists, r u guyz aware of the psychological phenomena "projecting?" ...nobody who studies cosmology, or any discipline of science thinks this.

[traxdata2k]

lol, are the DI really this clueless? Amazing!

[Sizz13]

Dpr, you fucking rock.

[Paxmax]

Bwahahahaaa!!!

[Synist3Twist]

i literally laughed out loud

[Shrinkynuts]

It's funny. That video more accurately reflects the creation 'theory' than anything I've ever heard a scientist say.

[Eric3575]

that was a big ass building.....

[Greywolf831]

Genius.

[BusterWolf23]

My thoughts exactly.

[lothrazar]

clearly this disproves the bible, the great tumbleweed created everything. Why? because science is EVUL

[jjmblue7]

All hail the great tumbleweed! It tumbled us into existence!.  To the Flying Spaghetti Monster, to the Tumbleweed, and to the Ball of Yarn. rAmen.

[xerochi]

That looks more like Genesis. LOLzors

[TheFlST]

Creationists are so damn stupid...

[rayruiz12345]

sadly, this is what some people think that scientists think

[IceFire9yt]

What's sad is that this is how creationists think the universe was created.

[jesokingcryst]

the video could have ended at 0:16

[RPNova]

What's sad is that a lot of creationists seem to think this is actually what we believe

[ihaveopposablethumbs]

roflmao

[Rocky183]

No, it's not science. Why not? Because it's not what science says. I love how their argument leaves itself so open for questioning.

[FansFiltration]

Was there a hidden reason you used a photo of the proposed Chicago Spire tower? Could it be that you are truly a secret member of the The Illuminati? *grin*

[madjik9]

If your IQ is under 60, these videos will likely be very appealing to you. Of course, you may need to dust off your dictionary and look up the meaning of the word "appealing".

[drakionx]

is that when you take the skin off an apple?

[drakionx]

I know what appealing is. It is when you take all the skin off of a fruit.

[blues260]

you may attract some creationists with these video :)

[DiscoveryInstituteID]

I did attract a few... pretty funny.

[SYNICtheAtheist]

I love you man lol. Awesome videos and great humor.

Note to self: Don't watch these at work if your office isn't close to the rest room.

[932016]

What you need is a south park style "THIS IS WHAT THE DISCOVERY INSTITIUTE ACTUALLY BELIEVES" on the bottom

lol

[Gnomesmusher]

All hail our father and mighty creator The Tumbleweed!

[PFWoody488]

Was the tumbleweed supposed to be God?

[SkeptikSnarf]

ahhh tumbleweed, the state crop of New Mexico

[sachaput]

Damn! There was tumbleweed befor the Big Bang? Glad to have this pointed out. How old is that stuff and why are scientists looking into it?

[gematt7]

heil science!

[JesusSavesAtCitibank]

Praise Science!

[Bojaxs]

What city was that in the video?

[aeroeng314]

It's a modified render of Chicago, IL as it would look with one of those ridiculously huge skyscrapers they've been talking about building for years but have never gotten around to doing.

[StubzTurner]

I'd like to point out that there is a line in a song by a christian band that go, "Something comes from nothing if you're willing to believe." Just something to think about.

[jebus6kryst]

Such a pathetic straw man.

[Helghastl33t]

its a satire you fool

[Nashy119]

Apparently yes.

Last time a saw a big bang it was a fiery explosion and the last time I saw evolution was watching Pokemon.

Content matters not.

[dutchvigilante]

No it isn't science! therefore goddidit!

[gormanilius]

whats funny is that this video reminds me more of creationism than anything else.

[Ourbine]

Wow. These things were DMCAed? Talk about fucking yourself up your own ass...

[Hjernespreng]

This satire is so damn funny :D

[PragnorVorn]

This vid looked more like what the bible is saying isn't it? You know, the magic man poofed everything into existence from 'nothing'...lol

[HeadoftheHydra]

You'll all praising the Tumbleweed, but I call heresy.

You're clearly not aware of the invisible Cricket, supreme overlord of the cosmos.

FAILURES.

[weeeezzll]

I have a personal relationship with Jiminy, all praise be upon him. His wisdom knows no bounds, and his chirp rings in the ears of every being through out the cosmos!

[HeadoftheHydra]

Chirpmen.

[ryjinannon]

No, Jiminy is a FALSE PROFIT, he just wants to lead us away from the one true Tumbleweed.

You may scoff, but I can prove it the one way religion knows how: WAR!!!

[Titania1]

You're killing me. In gonna wake everyone one up. lmfao

[Jtking3000]

i wish he made more videos

[velocityeleven]

if I wanted to make videos taking the piss out of creationism... these are the videos I'd make

[SuperAtheistBrothers]

Yep its so obvious now. The answer was always right in front of my face. Godunit! It all makes so much sense now!

[ehuus0000]

We have it. What was before the big bang you ask......THE MOTHER FUCKING TUMBLE WEED!

[wjkaiser65]

This is going to be so much fun!

[Braehawk]

This is cracking me up. I can't believe they actually DMCA'd these videos.

[Kagrath]

YES! Praise to the mighty tumble weed!

[1metallica1]

Discovery Institute sucks, keep up the good work dprjones

[Nex3d]

Good Stuff Dpr, keep em comin'

[jmsimpson11]

ahahahah
