Truth be told, I'm a little worried about that sharp intake of breath AronRa makes before he continues his speech. I'm starting to think he's got respiratory problems... a heavy smoker maybe?

I'd never presume to tell another human being what vices they can and cannot follow in their free time but... we need people like you Aron, stick around for a while, please?

Dear raving pro-thiests,

Yes, evolution has been proven as true, and it has been observed on the micro and macro level.

Micro scale example: bacteria actively developing resistance to antibiotics and other environmental hazards (heat, cold, UV radiation, etc), and single celled organisms mutating into multi celled organisms under direct observation.

Macro example: Genes that, in humans, can be traced way past our common ancestor with the chimpanzee, and fossil records to show the progress.

My wife was like my sister(there beliefs are very similar to some extent thought my wife is more stubborn(redhead)). But after taking organic biology and chemistry in college she is slowly moving towards accepting (some) of evolution, she still isn't 100% but then again she hasn't been taught the theory like my sister was. She still hates it when I watch these videos though, she was ok with me being wiccan but as soon as I declared I was an Atheist she almost divorced me LOL

I used to have arguments with my sister on evolution and I would try to explain to her that you don't have to give up your belief in god to accept evolution but she couldn't get away from a creationists view even though she wasn't a literalist. Fortunately she decided to go to college for anthropolgy and after her first month of the class she now accepts evolution and realizes that what I was talking about was true, I just explained it poorly and she thought she would have to give up belief.

Oh by the way.

If this idiot (Aron-Ra) is (among the most influential internet activists advocating rationalism in science education) then the real thinking people of the world have zero competition.

[FlyingBlindfolded]

Right from the start of the video, it states that evolution is a fact and been demonstrated in the lab.

What a laugh.

You are being lied to and you love being lied to if you believe this crap.

Just enjoy the laughable nonsense morons.

Evolution is a laugh riot.

There is zero evidence to support it yet the extreme sector of idiots believes in it.

Evolution is a great test of people.

Unthinking people believe in things they haven't thought about or tested.

Belive what you want morons.

It's funny how there's a Mormon promotional video before the clip the two times I've viewed this.... Pretty sad they need commercials for recruitment.
