This Video Explaining The Evidence For Evolution Will Drive Conservative ‘Christians’ Crazy STEPHEN D FOSTER JR - OCTOBER 11, 2014
Across the country, conservatives are crusading to mandate teaching creationism in science class. It’s a threat to our education system that would cause science scores in America to plunge and make our nation even more of an international laughingstock among the academic community than it already is. Creationism advocates believe that all of world history occurred within a span of 6,000 years and that humans actually rode on the backs of dinosaurs. They claim there is absolutely no evidence proving the validity of evolution. But perhaps conservatives just haven’t been taught in the right way. In a video created by Stated Clearly, a group of science advocates, an examination of the evidence proving the validity of evolution will likely cause any right-winger with a Jesus obsession to scream bloody murder. Clearly, the video was made with conservatives in mind because it includes simple and colorful images that any five-year-old can understand. As the video begins, group founder and narrator Jon Perry states that, “Thousands of observable facts from completely independent fields of study have come together to tell us the exact same story: all living things on Earth are related.” Perry explains that Earth’s various creatures have developed and adapted for millions of years in order to survive. Using the fossil record and the findings of experts across multiple fields of scientific study, Perry and his group literally demonstrate why evolution is fact. However, because there are over eight million different species of animals on the planet, this particular video focuses on cetaceans, a group of sea animals that includes whales and dolphins. Perry explains that biologists agree that all of these creatures evolved from a single four-legged land animal and then goes one to look at the list of evidence from comparative anatomy, embryology, fossils, DNA, species distribution, etc… At one point, Perry describes how the evidence shows that hippos and whales have a common ancestor. They both have multi-chambered stomachs, which is common for herbivores, but is almost unheard of for meat-eating mammals. They are both missing a coat of fur, and here’s a fun fact: whales and hippos are among the only mammals on Earth that have internal testicles. You know, science and facts. Not a story from a 2,000 year old religious text that has absolutely zero evidence supporting it. Here’s the entire video: The fact is, evolution is based on real scientific evidence while creationism is not. That’s why it only belongs in church and not in our schools. Teaching creationism would only confuse students and violate the religious liberty of students who are not fundamentalist Christians. The only reason conservatives are railing against evolution is because they hate anything that challenges their narrow world view. To them, it’s about keeping kids stupid so that they are easier to manipulate and indoctrinate, thus creating the next generation of ignorance. So go ahead, show this to conservatives and watch as they learn something or their heads explode. Either way, it should be damn entertaining. Source
