What a joke. No, atheists don't have presuppositions and biases! They hadn't even attended the museum yet and were judging. Typical atheist, God haters.

@shinesthrudarain Actually, I've visited the "museum" twice. I stand by everything I said in the video. The place is a haven of bad science. But thanks for playing.

Scientists are well aware of the ID arguments, including those from Behe. They have been discredited repeatedly. Many books have been written about how wrong the ID people are and why.

Gonzalez? Weak argument. Go Google "ExpelledExposed" and his name and you'll see why he's a poor example to use.

And, yes, Meyer is as much a scientist as Behe -- relying on the argument that if something is complex, a designer must be involved. It's pathetic.

? can you give me the journal which lays that out in fine print? Last time I checked the scientific method was developed over time and not by a single institution...

I'd love to see the literal mathematical proof (since you said proven fact).

@shinesthrudarain Do your homework. They have and see it for the lies it tries to portray as real.

This video inspired me to get back to my calculus homework, which will bring me a few minutes closer to getting my science degree, so I can help cut through the antiscientifice malarkey this museum stands for.

@krockcfd31 amen!

A museum like that is a insult to mankind. Anyone in this day and age who still thinks evolution is just a myth is a brain-dead fucktard. I dont even call them retards anymore because im confident that a mentally challenged person could understand evolution easier than a religious person who is brainwashed beyond the point of common sense. Christians like that only do 1 thing right. They successfully hold us back. Thats why the US is last in stem cell research and nanotechnology in medicine.

And the pissing contest carries on.

@coldarc I like your spirit! It's a good idea, and I am kind to Christians I know or meet in person, but some days I think they are the obstacles, or speed humps, and I want to drive over them a couple of times!!

They've had it too easy for too long. The Romans had the right idea..
