That 500 million year old Trilobite fossil that you inherited from your father is the most precious gift, worth more than anything else put together. Old fossils are gems of knowledge. I would much rather be in possession of a box of old fossils than to inherit diamonds, opals and rubies. If someone who inherited a 100 room mansion a garage full Rose Royces and a yacht were to brag to me about his inheritance, I would proudly hold up that old fissile saying, well, this is what I got!

@BigFatHeretic  Much truth in all that you say. The trilobites and we humans span such a colossal chasm of time between us that the bible literalists cannot imagine. Actually they can imagine it but have deliberately shut off that part of their brains to incorporate Noah, Adam and any other myths that come their way.

lol you remind me of that guy "Frasier" from that show... But cool vid...

By the way trilobites are divided in 3 section both vertically and horizontally.

Thanks for the honourable mention, though whatever would Kelsey Grammer have to say about the comparison? BTW, wasn't his character in Cheers and Frasier just brilliant?

[helgihg]

tenneral, good sir! When I grow old, I shall be just like you!

[tenneral]

Thanks helgihg, but let's have less of the 'old'!

[AronRa]

You do me honor, sir. I'm delighted that you promote me and Richard Leakey in the same video! I still have emails from both Richard and Maeve Leakey in my inbox. I'll never delete them.

Thank you for your video, sir. It was nice to hear someone speak so passionately yet gently abot evolution. And so rare these days to hear someone speak about it without the understandable, but angry tones, of someone having to refute some offensively , ignorant creationist misinformation.

Well done ! Please post more!!

[JRBendixen]

I would love to own a trilobite. If I had any money I would buy one :)

[ozmoroid]

Well done. Another thoroughly enjoyable video.

Unless you go to purgatory for ignoring basic human rights, which is essentially what all Creationists do by trying to convert everybody.

I'm religious too. I've had many creationists be unbelievably rude to me, simply for stating my beliefs. Someone even called me a "liar" for saying I was Catholic! Where is the righteousness in that??

Here's my view, stop bullying people, and start using human rights instead of your precious, witch-burning bible, for once.

Excerpts from a made up story don't bother me. If there was a God, it would surely reward decent and honest people, not just those who are gullible who believe anything. Just because you believe does not make you a better person than othre. I look at evidence and facts, and I base my decisions around that. Face it, and think about it, we are all developed apes. I have read the bible by many unknown authors, and Origin of the Species by Charles Darwin, and I know which one I believe. Good bye.

[Jon7Lane]

...so your beliefs are based on fear then! Are there other made up things you are scared of? What about the Grim Reaper or Ghosts? Come on, think about it and use your developed brain.

[Jon7Lane]

...it also takes a lot of faith to believe in something without any evidence whatsoever, and to ignore the massive amount of evidence against there being a God. Think about it, and stop believing what your parents told you.
