Great vid but a little OffTopic comment: Why is it DonExodus2, and not just DonExodus? ^^

MARS IS 7,000 YEARS OLD.

Wow, that is fun. I've always wondered what it would be like to boldly assert something with no evidence to back it up. I'll try it again:

EVILUSHUN IS A LYE.

Wow. The thrill of it. No wonder the creationist enjoy this so much:

WEVE NEVER FOUND ANY TRANSISHIONAL FOSILS.

That feels great. I think I have a new hobby. Now, where haven't they heard my witty insights? Oh, yeah... ALL OVER YOUTUBE! I'm off to spread my idiocy! TTFN.

"You cant debate with a creationist because they dont do their research & wont listen to reason generally twist the truth to meet there own needs"

This is true.

Im debating a Fundie right now (the debate has been going on for 3 weeks now) who is so determined to try & prove he's correct that he'l say anything.

I just read his recent post where he still believes that " there R no transitional forms in the fossil record."

This claim has been debunked repeatedly, yet they cont.2 lie!

@Tazy50 uhm yeah ...i question your "logic" ....if you say that humans classify them (the term transitional fossils and the present time animal undergoing the process of evolution) as they are then they (the terms)should be used ... yes you present a neat analogy but really .the term transitional fossils is the term used to say that the fossil found was at the phase of transition .... put a stress on the word fossils ....

[Tazy50]

@IvanderHaisley that's just what humans classify them as. It doesn't change the reality of what they really are. If everything continues to evolve, and doesn't have a goal, then aren't we all transitional fossils?

[IvanderHaisley]

@Tazy50 transitional FOSSILS are fossils found to be at the phase of transition , the case you presented is still correct however ... transitional fossils and speciation are different ..

[Tazy50]

there's no such things as transitional fossils. OR...EVERY SINGLE species is a transitiona species. both mean the same thing once you simplify them. we are always evolving, so everything is a transitional species from it's more primitive form, to it's future form.

DonExodus, just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your video's. I've never quite had a grasp on DNA pertaining to evolution, so it was great to at least get my feet wet in that area, I even took notes. Question, from your perspective, do you think that eventually creationists will accept evolution as truth, or even science at that, and will we one day look back and say, 'how is it that people were so stupid back then?' I'm curious to get your thoughts on this if you have the time. Thanks again

Ah ensatina salmanders.. Common in my area.  Another example is Slender salamanders, found in the same region as the ensatina
