Evolution Debunked: An alternative to the theory

Here is the link:

Answers to frequently asked questions:
1) This is a somewhat successful attempt at Socratic irony.
2) No, I didn't write the paper
3) No, I don't think that this is an acceptable alternative to the theory of evolution.
4) If you link to this video thinking it somehow "pwns" evolution, you're a special kind of idiot.

Aside from showing some stock footage of scientists in a lab, how exactly did you fulfill your goal of making ID more sciency? Furthermore, what scriptural evidence is there for god coming to earth and reorganizing DNA? Also, you say god creates birth defects because he knows that that individual will be a jerk...by that logic, him doing that prevents them from acting on their true jerkedness...so they are punished for something they didn't do. But people like Hitler, Stalin, and my third grade

It's just a joke. Please see video description.

This is a christian rip off version of evolution!

So little trouble do men take in the search after truth, so readily do they accept whatever comes first to hand. -Thucidides, the Peloponessian War

If you grow up in an irreligious household, the first "truth" you receive will be Evolution, If you grow up in a religious household, you will receive "god" as "truth". We're pretty screwed either way

@TheSleepChamber

One of these "truths" is an useful and empirically well-established model explaining the diversity of life on earth. The other is magical being living in another dimension who grants you wishes if you fold your hands and talk to the sky.

We are not "screwed either way". Don't equate them.

@somecomputergeek Trolling is a art.

Uh Oh its time for the religitards to reshape their crazyness to try to make it more believable. Sorry kid. No god. Get over it. Evolution is a fact. Gods are for the weak.

You realise this is all satire.

@ProVeritas11 Is it even possible for you to construct an argument that does not contain a major logical fallacy? I'm going to use a tactic of the religious nuts in this country - i'm going to get involved in word play. What darwin meant by 'races' is the types of life around us , you have to use context. Francis Galton's work in eugenics was a perfectly valid line of inquiry into human population dynamics circa 1875 - nazi's hijacked it much later. Much like the bible did the cult of mithras.

@ProVeritas11 Also, how is ID a theory? It offers no testable claims and its claims are in direct opposition to observable facts. A theory is only a theory after considerable amounts of research have been done on a hypothesis. Experiments are designed to test predictions. These are independently confirmed. A theory is as concrete as you can get outside of math. Gravity is a theory - a theory which is not as strong as evolutionary theory. ID is just religious nonsense parroted by idiots.

@ProVeritas11 Darwin never recanted on his death bed. This a commonly used lie that creationists use. Its also a huge logical fallacy. Even if Darwin did recant - it changes nothing because evolution happens and its a fact. The underlying mechanics are still not totally known but the past 150 years of actual science has never given reason to pursue an alternate theory of how evolution happens. Darwin did not establish evolutionary theory - 150 years of peer reviewed science did.
