Part of a series of videos exposing the funny stupidity of creationists and why they deserve to be laughed at. In each case the creationist statements are shown to be outrageously stupid by even the most rudimentary knowledge of science.

In this episode Jonathan Wells of the creationist organization The Discovery Institute is taken to task over his bizarre assertions that the inability of a burst cell to spontaneously reassemble means that abiogenesis must be impossible. The bacteria is a modern organism....the end product of 4bn years of evolution. It is a complex organism and as such can compete in the biosphere using the fast reproduction 'strategy'. The reason bacteria are around today is they are vigorous reproducers. Jonathan Wells seems to be attacking the proposal that 'MODERN bacteria were the first life on Earth', which is in reality a straw man that exists nowhere outside of Wells's mind. The reasoning is similar to that used by Ken Ham, that you don't get abiogenesis from blended frogs. All of this seems to be ignoring the key factor that the biosphere is a harsh competition. There is simply no niche where abiogenesis could get a grip where it simply would not be out competed by life that has been around for 4bn yrs.

Goku can beat Superman *Faceplam* I don't think this guy realises that Superman has lifted an object that had infinite weight, has held blackholes in the plam of his hands, has been inside the core of a blackhole, has carried entire solar systems and pulsars across space, has fought evenly with someone who possessed the power of the big bang, has even fought someone who could easily multi-verse bust, has taken no physical harm from stars and nebulas exploding. Goku can't do any of these.

Why does Thunderf00t compare creationists to snack oil salesmen? At least with them you get snake oil.

[Hello2u2322]

The creationist guy stabbed a poor bacterium and watched it blood its molecules to death.

That is sadistic, and I am saying that as an atheist.

@MrGluepower And I think that Harry Potter is more plausible to be real than Jebus.

@takfarinas1 funny point, but on a side topic: this resonates to people saying we want to live forever in heaven, it sounds wonderful until you put 1 minute of thought into it. the reason life is fun and worth living is because we ARE beatable, and we AREN'T always brave, and that we aren't loved by all. When you cheat in simcity and give yourself infinite money, after awhile it's just boring.

@heretowatchvideos100 Because discussing Superman and Goku are the exact same thing as discussing God.

[GallusSapien]

No matter how many molecules you can produce, you are still no where near making a living human being, and here's hw i "know" If I blah blah blah blah blah, you cant put humpty dumpty back together again! So therefore, embryology DOESNT work. Take that embryologismists!!

[takfarinas1]

For all of you crazy athiests that want to talk facts, here is a fact that we can all agree on...superman is better because he is a representation of what everyone wants, unbeatable, brave, and loved by all to be while goku is just a fictional japanese character with no representation of the human experiance, point.
