Part of a superb 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 it is shown the creationist organization The Discovery Institute and other creationists such as Kent Hovind (the convicted fraudster 'Dr Dino') share a common feature of willful dishonesty in that they are happy to misquote famous people to make it sound like they support creationism (quote mining). This dishonesty was particularly obvious in the dover vs kitzmiller trial where it was found that the ID proponents and creationists Bill Buckingham and Alan Bonsell put simply lied their asses off in court to attempt to disguise their true intent of teaching creationism in school.

Some clips taken from Nova program about Dover trial.

I fucking hate quote mining!

[eastjones]

I never get tired of hearing Judge Jones' quote that the Dover School board's decision was a move of "BREATHTAKING INANITY".

@TheOkami1113 I CAN IMAGINE IT. In a corner atop of a bench, admiring the banana and slowly pealing it, while kirk is drools beside him, amazed at the wonderful smell and texture of it, with people around him taking pictures.

I always find it kinda funny, the obsession with the banana he has, i mean he truly loves bananas, guess this goes to show he ain't too distant relative of monkeys and chimps, the irony is epic i would think.

@MrHaggis03 oh the sweet, sweet irony... it's burning.

[MrHaggis03]

Oh dear......Christians swearing on the holy book to tell the truth........and then lying !

@JamesRideout123 kent hovind is in jail because he lied and said that his creation museum was not turning a profit and was, in fact, a christian mission. He was found guilty of tax evasion. There is no such thing as darwinism, there is only darwin's theory of evolution and those who accept it as true

[sinachiniforoosh]

@messakg123 oh, well that's okay.

[messakg123]

@sinachiniforoosh Ok so the creationist argument here is:

1. DNA is complex

2. Complexity can only be explained by God

3. Therefore God designed DNA

And you're objecting to premise 2. And i totally agree with you. But all I'm saying is that the bill gates is just being used to support premise 1 and i see no problem with that

[sinachiniforoosh]

@messakg123 they say :"DNA is complex, therefore God did it" which is VERY stupid.everyday we find more and more about DNA and complexity in general.And the fact that it's complex doesn't make any more place for god in science.

[messakg123]

@sinachiniforoosh how is it misused?
