PZ Myers "expelled" from creationist film screening (2/2)

On March 20th 2008, PZ Myers and Richard Dawkins attended a screening for the creationist film "Expelled". Hilarity ensues as POLICE PREVENT PZ MYERS FROM ENTERING THE THEATER.

The Nonprophets radio show comment on what happened.

Anyone who asks, on a YouTube comment board, for an explanation of Evolution DOESN'T GET IT. It's not a sound bite, unfortunately, it's not as simple as "God did it!" It's a scientific construct, the evidence for which can't be explained in a sentence. You can get a graduate degree in the subject - that should tell you you may have to read up in order to understand it.

And that, my friends, is christian hypocrisy at its finest.

@eleminatus Now that is odd... it was 9% a few months ago. Interesting...

[eleminatus]

its 10% on rotten tomatoes! an achievement in and of itself! :D

1. Jesus Christ fulfills o-v-e-r 200 Old Testament Messianic Prophecies ( Micah 5:2; etc.) Google Messianic Prophecies fulfilled by Jesus.

2. Jesus Christ makes 30 “I AM” statements in the Gospel of John.

Ex: “… for unless you believe that I am, you shall die in your sins.” (John 8:24)

Check the Gospel of John in the New Testament.

3. 17 Secular sources confirm that Jesus Christ walked the earth (Celsus, Tacitus, Lucian, etc.) Google Secular sources for Jesus.

Expelled is an atrocious movie that ignores mountains of scientific evidence but PZ Meyers is still a stupid twat who thinks stealing a communion wafer is the bee's knees.

I stand behind you in the sense of what you guys are for lack of a better word "preaching". But please use less profanities, it doesn't really help the case to call them shitheads as an example. You'll just push the median of the hard core theist and anti-theist on to the theist side. I remember when I myself was in the process of losing my theist beliefs i watched Religulous by Bill Maher and it set me a few steps back.

@Dusty341 I'm even more amazed that they still continue to believe after obviously seeing plenty of big holes in it.

@5tonyvvvv: Part 3 - of handed amino acid didn't have a chance. The simple self-replacting molecules that was a precursor of life would remove available "food" as the amino acids with the handedness we see today would have won out.

OBTW, another hint: get you head out and learn. There's nothing in you buy-bull about science.

You're welcome.

@5tonyvvvv: Part 2 - left or the right ones but one is selected. As they comets formed and froze long before the Earth was done accreting, those "dirty snowballs" not only gave Earth a great deal of water but seeded the specific handed amino acids that we are. Heck, even on the Earth, without an Ozone layer (it came much, much later) Polarizing Radiation would have had an effect on the handedness of the amino acids.

With so much of one kind of handed amino acids raining down, the other, cont.
