Welcome to Jesusland is an educational series dedicated to debunking creationism, teaching evolution, and defending free speech and freedom of and from religion in America.

In this episode, Pete (QuestionChrist) brings up the question, What is the problem with teaching intelligent design, which leads him to say evolution is just a theory. This is a classic creationist argument. The word theory in science is different from fields such as philosophy. After watching a few of his videos, I really do think he seems generous. However, the lack of rationality that is present in his video is astounding and he needed to be called up his mistakes. I feel like I address most of his points accurately. If youre interested in future videos on abiogenesis and analytic truths, Ill be happy to make them.

  • The "theory" of gravity is just a theory. I demand they teach intelligent falling in our schools!

  • I just love the way these chuckleheads misinterpret the word "theory," as if it means some sort of unproven idea based on nothing more than someone's insight while having a particularly satisfying bowel movement.

  • The Dawkins quote is from an inteview by Bern Stein where he asks Dawkins directly if he in any way could imagine life being designed. It cuts of before Dawkins saying that it just leaves the question of where did the intelligent aliens come from and so does not answer any thing. Stein seamed to deliberately seek answers that could be used for quote mining, and it seams he succeeded, even though Dawkins manages to throw Evolution in to the sentence.

  • @Jiggerjinn No, there is nothing wrong with going to a church in order to bang her... though, depending on how Christian she is, she might not allow herself to be banged by anyone prior to marriage.

  • Question, say I know a hot christian chick, and I want to bang her, would it be bad if I went to church with her to bang said chick?

  • "Its still a theory !"

    Ah good ! That puts it at the same level with you morons having a brain then.

    Say, we'd better crack all yer heads open and take some pics so we can provide you with what you guys call "scientific facts", althought when that happened you'd probably dismiss it, on the grounds that it looks like the demonic trickery of photoshop.

  • 'Theory' in the scientific sense means the collected thought on a subject. 'Hypothesis' in the scientific sense means a testable idea posited as a possible explanation for the unknown. What 'Theory' doesn't mean is 'shit made up when drunk.'

  • Yes, I see the truth and I believe you, Pete! Believing that an Undead rebel Rabbi from the First Century is really God, and made everything in the Universe just 6,000 years ago makes much more sense that believing that E.T. seeded us like flowers!

    Thank you! Praise the Lord (Satan)!

  • ...maybe its just me, but I question when anyone says that any discovery in biology (be it the discovery of natural selection, or of DNA) is the "most important discovery in human history." To me, at least, understanding physics always trumps understanding biology.

  • Evolutionism is not even a theory, it's just a psuedoscientific rehashing of classical pantheism.

  • Damn you and all your ologies!! I'm just glad all the people and universities that teach all the ologies and engineering degrees have very high standards.

  • @Muthsera80 u r right not one single piece of evidence against evolution everything supports it i feel overwhelmed by the ignorance of creationist
