Creationism on Huffington Post. My interview part 1/6.

This interview was conducted by the team at Agnostic Salvation Hour. The audio can be found here: http://agnosticsalvation.podomatic.com/

David Klinghoffer, from the Discovery Institute wrote an article with the usual ignorance and dishonest displayed by those at the DI.

His article from HuffPo can be found here (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-klinghoffer/the-dark-side-of-darwinis_b_630­627.html)

This list of logical fallacies and butchered science is taken apart in this interview. Its a good listen as it answers many of creationists claims, and is entertaining as well. Enjoy!

@DonExodus2

One historical correction I must make. Hitler did not put 'Gott Mit Uns' on the Nazi soldiers' belt buckles. That phrase was on German uniforms during WW1 long before Hitler came to power.

[DonExodus2]

@peterandfaith Yea, Ive heard that, and have no objection to its veracity. That being said, he didn't remove it, which, if he was an atheist and that was the driving force of his platform, he would have.

Fair?

[peterandfaith]

@DonExodus2

Yes, a fair point that he did not remove it. My concern is giving the creationist liars any kind of ammunition. I know they will grab it and try to make it look like we are the liars. I've had this experience with some of my relatives and would like to avoid it.

[DonExodus2]

@peterandfaith I agree that thats also a valid point- we must take every precaution not to become like them, and I will state it more clearly next time in future videos.

@celestialsalamander Actually, it's closer to blaming people who believe in the periodic table of the elements for incendiary bombs.

@COMALiteJ So I see, well thanks for the info. Anyway, if you want to post a link on a youtube comment section, just delete the htt p... tag, and put a bunch of spaces, for example between the three w's, before the ending etc. Basically before every "."...

[COMALiteJ]

@BillHicks420, Unfortunately, links are difficult to post into YouTube™ Text Comments because of their anti-spam algorithms. If you try to post a post containing an undisguised link, you get, in red, “Error — try again.”

That said, “some evidence” above should more accurately read, “some speculations.” There’s a book, for instance, entitled “1421: The Year China Discovered the World” which posits that a fleet under Admiral Zheng He landed in the Americas in 1421.

[BillHicks420]

@COMALiteJ Chinese and Egyptians you say? Please show me a link, that's interesting...

As for the rest of your post; yes of COURSE, I was just pointing it out, as it seemed you were oblivious to that fact.

[COMALiteJ]

@BillHicks420, Yes, the Vikings beat Columbus to the New World, and there is even some evidence that the Chinese and even Egyptians came here as well.

That wasn’t my point. My point was it was Columbus, and ONLY Columbus, whose voyages led to the Europeans in general LEARNING OF the EXISTENCE of the New World, thus paving the way to the conquest thereof. Had Columbus not sailed west, the world would be VERY different today. The same doesn’t hold true for the Vikings, etc.

@COMALiteJ *cough* Vikings *cough*

@smoothpeople33 Hitler's list of banned writings.
