READ DESCRIPTION: Please watch the video in its entirety- I know it starts off slow and technical. I discuss the actual, oft unmentioned reason every scientist accepts evolution. Ignorance is no longer an excuse.

Special thanks to Greenman3610 for providing the audio track in the background. If you're remotely interested in global warming, subscribing to him is not an option, its a requirement.

-The C14 tree/etc example is just to show the strengths of independent methods.

  • it was GOD! or call it aliens or group of no more farting very old scienticst group. But never never this happens self. Dont be stupid.

  • @1sl4mSh1t

    "Since evolution is true, there must be human races that are inferior."

    Straw man. Just because you're a depraved lunatic doesn't mean all people are.

  • @TheHistoryguy10

    "There are no intermediate forms in the fossil record or any record. "

    ANOTHER blatant lie.

    /watch?v=XUcB_HiCKnM

    "change is always circumscribed by the boundaries of the type (or kind)."

    STILL MORE lies. We've observed single-celled organisms transition into multicellular organisms.

    Of course it doesn't matter what resources I post...you'll just pretend they don't exist.

  • @TomFynn

    Since evolution is true, there must be human races that are inferior.

    There must be human races that are fit to be slaves only.

    There must be races that are fit to be exterminated because they only cause trouble and destruction of the Earth.

    How perfect the world will be if Atheists rule.

    I'd rather be called stupid than be ruled by godless people.

  • @Darkfoxx999

    Has evolution stopped?

    What changes is beginning to show in human beings that will turn them into a new and different specie in the future?

    Why do humans from the hottest part of Africa can still mate with humans from the coldest part of America?
