Video: "There have been observations to support evolution." Kent again: "You're lying or stupid. There are no observations that back up evolution." Well....there ya go. He just says it so it must be true. Great use of science to support his position!! 👍🏻👍🏻
“It proves a common designer.” You know what, Kent? I agree. It does show a common designer. Of course since the designs are flawed and inefficient and the designer you propose did it is incapable of making mistakes, it can’t be your designer. My designer however is the blind process of natural selection. Since a blind process without a goal is capable and pretty much expected to make mistakes and inefficient designs, I think mine is more likely.

@@DavidSmith-vr1nb I can't wish hell were real, but it does make me wish there were some kind of ultimate accountability (albeit without eternal torture as an option). And that, in turn, gives me a little bit of understanding of why people want there to be a hell. I think most people aren't really sadistic enough to want anyone to be tortured eternally, no matter what they did in life. But we have this deep longing for justice and accountability, so then we invent these heaven and hell mythologies to allow us to imagine that reality has justice and accountability built in.
He says, "Evolutionists" believe we evolved from a rock, yet he believes a man was created from dust(small particles of rock). When Skeptik said that Hovind was doing the big dumb, it made me think that is something Sir Sic would say.
Anyone remember a time Kent provided any non-arbitrary and unambiguous evidence for special creation? How about any kind of evidence at all of any quality?
Ooh, ooh, me! ME! I got one! Wait, do you count _a stupid grade school poem about how grass makes him sneeze_ as evidence? Because there's one of those in his "doctoral dissertation".
"wife" Considering how little faith (pun intended) Kent puts into governments and legal documents of any sort of legitimate kind, I SERIOUSLY question if he's signed any actual marriage contracts with any of his victims. Easier to get a new one when he's done bilking money out of them that way. Kent's more of the _chump'em, pump'em, and dump'em_ school of romantic entanglements.
I did my undergraduate degree in English and Zoology at UC Davis, where I took Genetics from Dr. Dobzhansky and his doctoral student, and Catholic Priest, and winner of the Templeton Prize, Dr. Francisco Ayala, both were evolutionary biologists and really cool guys. OTOH, Kent has a "degree" from a trailer in Florida.
"if you found a bone in the dirt you don't know if it had any children" correct. But, unless Kent thinks that there's only one individual of each species alive at a given time, I really don't understand his reasoning. If we find one individual of a species, we don't know it had children, but we have to know others in it's species did. Seriously, this isn't the first time I've heard him say that as a "debunk" of fossils being evidence for evolution. And I haven't seen anyone bring that rebuttal up either.
Given that fossilisation is a rare event, requiring a quite narrow set of circumstances, if we find one individual of a species that was fossilised, it implies that there must at least have been a population of those individuals alive around that time.
Kent's arguments boil down to: use your eyes. Don't do any research, don't use experts, don't try to use tool to find things your own two eyes can't see.
They don't even use their eyes. There is a video of Kent saying his methods are so fool proof even a child could use them. then proceeds to ask a little girl in the audience if two squirrels of different species in a photo are the same "kind". She says no and he just stares into the void and then continues as if nothing had happened.
@@juan0808 I want someone to use the "what's obvious to a 5-year-old" epistemology on Kent himself. Show a group of 5-year-olds footage of Kent's usual ramblings and then ask them if they thought he was really smart or pretty much of a goofball.
Thank you for making it possible to see what these people are saying while not losing my mind in a howling frustration of lonely, void-screaming fury. May Lisa the Rainbow Giraffe (LBUH) allow you to reach the tastiest leaves on the highest branches.

You know what other weird phenomena I’ve observed? Whenever I see Kent in a video the face shaped impression in my wall gets deeper and I develop a headache. I just can’t explain it…. Must be god.
Except neither the Tooth Fairy nor Santa have ever asked their followers to kill, shun LGBTQ+ people, or indoctrinate children for the purposes of taking 10% of all future earnings! So, demonstrably they are better than any god. 😊
"Every farmer in the world understands that their cows only made baby cows and their ducks made baby ducks. Evolution ruined biology!" You know what else farmers also understand? That they can be specifically, strategically, and purposefully selective breed their crops for higher yields and extra contents of certain nutrients, and they can also breed chickens that have more meat on their bones or lay more eggs more often, or they can make their cows produce more milk for a longer period of time between pregnancies. Evolution helped revolutionize agriculture in ways never thought possible
kent *cannot* change. saying same stuff he did for ages and ignoring any and all corrections is what brings him money. *even if* he at some point understood he is wrong, he cant admit to it because he will end up penniless. that being said, i dont think he will ever get anything - this guy whole life is ignorance and confidence. its an absolute waste of time to even try to argue or respond to him. its like trying to argue with a pre-recorded message.
He IS a prerecorded message. I believe if you play any of his videos with the corresponding part of his 40 years old VHS ramblings, it probably coincide almost word for word.
@@stefanlaskowski6660 He doesn't use new material. Every "debate" I've seen him in, he refers to his videos and then says, "you can have the entire series for $50.00"

aye, he put them in their place of being an actual educational group that is worth listening to...while not even other Young Earth Creationist listen to Kent much anymore...
the amazing design of a whale, eh? An animal that lives its entire life in the water, yet has to come to the surface to breathe or will drown. That sure is amazing. Amazingly bad. An animal that several species have to dive deep to find their food but are subject to decompression sickness if they surface too quickly. Boy, that sure is an amazing design. You would think the great creator would have thought of these design flaws.
6:31 actually all the farmers from 8000-6000 BCE knew that aurochs make baby aurochs and we've noted since then that our modern cattle are different enough from aurochs to be a separate species.
Animal and plant husbandry is proof of evolution and we've been doing both for thousands of years. We can force changes through selective breeding and observe them happen. The only difference between forced evolution and natural evolution is where the pressures and mate selection come from.
Creation is literally a selective process, I hate when Kent acts like it isn't. A painting is created by selecting choice paints, choice canvas, choice muse, like what is this man on about?
Note how he accepts that the Khan Academy do excellent teaching on many subjects, but as soon as it comes to the subject that shows his particular religion to be baloney, he suddenly has a problem with them. Also note how Kent’s standard for truth is a debate on a channel that’s biased in his favour.
I find it telling that every time he simply utters the words "evolution is true" in whatever context even the one where he is just stating what others say,he feels the need to sneak in a lil "its not" immediatly after.cant resist the urge and start his next sentence.
spent 20 minutes there and i don't think i've heard a single actual argument every time it's only some way of saying one of the following: - "no, it's not how it works" (without any explaination why) - "it's just ridiculous" - [insert a random insult to the opposing side]
@@fomori2 Kent just applies wilful ignorance. He has been fighting against the facts for his entire life, which appears to be the case for all such individuals. It is impossible to argue with a person who cannot accept the obvious, under any circumstances.

The funny thing about basing his fantasy rebuttals on Whack-A-Mole is that it is, as he said, a fast-paced game - and as a result, you usually fail. Which is still a better percentage than his.
The problem with the design argument for homologous structures is that the structure is clearly not optimal for all species. It's not just the existence of these structures. It's the PATTERN of variation across taxons.
I like the fact that he keeps saying that the people that have studied this and have degrees in this area are completely wrong and a designer is the answer. How about they are correct, and anyone that uses religion to explain. I think that's a better argument.
13:02 "everything is designed and amazing" like flesh eating bacteria, cordiceps, grasshopper and snails parasites, worms living in your eyes and Kent hovind?
Remember one of Kent’s best comebacks is to refer to an episode on his channel for the “answer” to the question he was asked. Meanwhile what he is referring to is just lots of word salad and than restating his premise with absolutely no evidence or good arguments.
"Losing something is not evidence of how you got everything" Really? Says the guy who evidently got everything he has by losing either his integrity his ability to comprehend or both?
Just once I would like to confront Hovind on his "Similar designer" thing. Namely he likes to (or at least used to) compare the similar designs of cars. well those different cars had different designers. Therefore by his logic there's more than one designer meaning his precious book can't be right. And all this coming from someone who actually believes that same book (but not literally)
Also, if it was design and not evolution, you'd see similar designs for similar functions across otherwise unrelated lines, and wouldn't see similar things that appear to have been repurposed for entirely different functions.
@@NovaSaber We do get convergent evolution, but it doesn't work the way you would expect if any intelligence were involved. Also I doubt we would have the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
I love how Kent’s - and *only* Kent’s - inability to understand elementary school show-and-tell science class disproves all of science. You have to marvel at a guy who sticks to his guns when even other young earth creationists facepalm every time he opens his lopsided yap.
Let's see if I can make it to the end. I love your channel and want it to do well. It's really difficult to listen to Kent, though. I will do my best for the algorithm! I wonder what the company who makes "Whack-A-Mole" thinks of their association with the "doctor" here? [Edit]: made it 9 minutes in. I absolutely cannot go farther. He hurts my head!
Just a very simple and basic explanation of how common structures can point to common ancestors. My mother has light skin, and my father has slightly darker skin. If I was fully black, it would prove that I do not come from one of them, however if I was closer to white, then I match them.
Actually that's not quite how it works, but I appreciate the effort in making the analogy. It's entirely possible that you could have been born fully black, for example, if your father had ancestors who were fully black.
@@oponentgull186others4 sorry - don't take my comments as criticism - like I said, I think you had a good stab at coming up with an analogy. I apologise for coming in here and pointing out how it doesn't technically work, I guess I should just not say anything at all.
Holy geez! RUclips went meta on me. Right as you were doing the cricket joke, a commercial cut in, starting with a night time scene and the sound of crickets. 🤣
Kent and his goons are the only ones ever saying _"Came from a rock! Came from a rock! Nuh uh, came from a rock!",_ so was that an admission of being on top of the stupid pile himself? 😂
3:01 “with Christian love, of course” There is no hate like Christian love. Torturing your neighbour to death if need be to convince them to believe in your version of God (a few minor doctrinal differences away). After all, hell is eternal and only your version gets people into heaven. And your neighbour is the mirror image, refusing to change his belief to yours as abandoning the only true way to heaven, his way, means going to hell.
"All these animals have no eyes." But they (at least some of them) DO have eyes, Kent. We can quite clearly see the salamander's eyes in the photo you are showing us. Now why did your god give eyes to a blind salamander?
I find that pretty hilarious that Kent brought up cows. In the 19th century, the American bison population that had gone down significantly due to over-hunting. In an attempt to save them, bison were bred with cattle and made beefalos, which are neither truly cows or true bison. This was later abandoned, but as a result, all bison in the US have 1-2% cattle DNA in them.
I really wish Kent would come after the videos you put out Tick. If not to actually try and disprove your points, you know in his very clever way of saying "nuh-uh" and "god did it," but just to watch him lose his damn mind over you "actually believing" in Lisa the Rainbow Giraffe EVEN BETTER: I want Kent and Hans Wormhat to do a video together and see if they can agree on what animals do and don't exist. And volcanoes. And whatever else Hans talks about.
The problem with the idea of a common designer is that animals don't all use the same design for the same function. That would be evidence for multiple designers in that case. For example wings of birds, bats and pterosaurs all achieve flight but are structured different. That would mean bats, birds and pterosaurs were each designed by a different god.
"If you find a bone in the dirt you don't know if it had children." But surely, we know that its parents had children, right? Whenever I see creationists, they always make these points that they seem very pleased with yet I have no idea what point he's even making. Is his contention that we need to know about every single individual along a line of descent and that it's directly related to his parents and offspring in order to infer that it even is a line of descent? Did he .... did he meet God personally?
God is so intelligent he gave the dolphin the same bone structure as a land animal, instead of more suitable fins like a fish. So intelligent, he had to create the leopard to run fast enough to catch the gazelle, having made the mistake of making the gazelle fast enough to escape it. Hovind was giving a lecture and claimed experts stated the fossil Lucy was a chimpanzee. He was called out on it, but could not name those supposed experts. In reality, he was relying on a self-proclaimed expert who was a dentist.
I watched this reluctantly. Hovind is, next to Powel, the greatest waste of time and energy ever produced by humanity. Luckily, he's so transparently out of gas that even he admits it while whining in his typically "Christians are persecuted" way.
What’s sad to me is Kent wants all these millions of dollars to do what a biologist with some compute time can do in a few hours. Who else was trying to think of the most recent common ancestors between starfish and blue jays? I think it’s deterostomes but could it be farther back than that at eukaryotes?
Kent seems upset that atheists think that "we all came from a rock" Yet creationists think we came from processed rock, squished into the shape of a man, and a magical poof made it come to life. Hmmm, yeah okay, wizard made man from rock using magic. It appears that atheists have simply removed the magical wizard, along with the magical poof from said wizard.
This whole idea of the phrase 'whack an Atheist', imo is the kind of thinking that can start in the playground and can, sometimes, result in some kind of tragic, life changing outcome for Everyone. Peace All

@@Cat_Woods I don't. Believing things that have no grounding in anything is a terrible and harmful example to give. It makes people more vulnerable and blind to abuse. It trains the mind to rationalize by requiring requiring and encouraging rationalization to maintain belief, making it a habit to excuse away anything, including and not limited to abuse tactics like gaslighting, neglect, etc.. Faith isn't harmless, it's extreme mental and emotional abuse and I wish that theists would stop setting it as an example and that other people would stop endorsing theism and its intrinsic abuses.
The way I read you comment is like this:" I wish that gentle emotional abusers, enablers, and victims like you would get more traction in society at large, it doesn't always have to be wife beating and sexual child abuse. We need more examples of more subtle abuse. The world needs more abuse and I fully endorse and encourage it!"
Had a lengthy discussion with one of his followers. Took a while to reach the point where he didn't have any answers to my points.
Then suddenly SILENCE 😂😂😂
I was really surprised when Kent was listing things that are round, he didn’t include the SkepTick, the British floating circle. 😊
He doesn’t want to admit I exist
@@TheSkepTick So odd that we have more evidence to support the existence of a British floating circle than an all-loving all-powerful personal creator being.
@@TheSkepTick well i agree with him there, " TheSkepTick" may have been created...
Kent: "Just saying something doesn't make it true."
Also Kent: "The Bible says God made things. Everything is designed so that explains biology."
Video: "There have been observations to support evolution."
Kent again: "You're lying or stupid. There are no observations that back up evolution."
Well....there ya go. He just says it so it must be true. Great use of science to support his position!! 👍🏻👍🏻
"I'm a research scientist " the widest claim he made in the whole video 😂😂😂
That was a funny joke.
“It proves a common designer.” You know what, Kent? I agree. It does show a common designer. Of course since the designs are flawed and inefficient and the designer you propose did it is incapable of making mistakes, it can’t be your designer. My designer however is the blind process of natural selection. Since a blind process without a goal is capable and pretty much expected to make mistakes and inefficient designs, I think mine is more likely.
Sorry SkepTick, I can't stand Kent, so I had to cut the watching short. There's something about him that makes me see red.
I find it hard not to hurl when I hear him
He is an ignorant undereducated vile conman.
That red you are seeing... is it visualising his nose splattered across his arrogant and ignorant face?

I love how Kent tells other people they're going to hell. It's ironic, because if there is one, he'd definitely be going.
Almost makes me wish it was real. I guess we'll have to make do with the fact that he will eventually expire.
@@DavidSmith-vr1nb I can't wish hell were real, but it does make me wish there were some kind of ultimate accountability (albeit without eternal torture as an option). And that, in turn, gives me a little bit of understanding of why people want there to be a hell. I think most people aren't really sadistic enough to want anyone to be tortured eternally, no matter what they did in life. But we have this deep longing for justice and accountability, so then we invent these heaven and hell mythologies to allow us to imagine that reality has justice and accountability built in.
If kh is going to heaven then I chose hell
He says, "Evolutionists" believe we evolved from a rock, yet he believes a man was created from dust(small particles of rock).
When Skeptik said that Hovind was doing the big dumb, it made me think that is something Sir Sic would say.
Anyone remember a time Kent provided any non-arbitrary and unambiguous evidence for special creation?
How about any kind of evidence at all of any quality?
Nope.
He can't because it doesn't exist. Neither does his invisible magic guy in the sky.

You can take out the "wants to". Now the only thing Kent whacks more than his ex-wives is himself. 😁😲
"wife"
Considering how little faith (pun intended) Kent puts into governments and legal documents of any sort of legitimate kind, I SERIOUSLY question if he's signed any actual marriage contracts with any of his victims. Easier to get a new one when he's done bilking money out of them that way.
Kent's more of the _chump'em, pump'em, and dump'em_ school of romantic entanglements.
@@jzsbff4801yeah he's appealing though.
Which is the only time you'll see "appealing" in a sentence referring to Hovind.
Oh heck. I am so bruised from face palming, that you would think that I was one of Kent's wives.
"They're all round."
Just like your brain, Kent. Smooth as a ball bearing.
I did my undergraduate degree in English and Zoology at UC Davis, where I took Genetics from Dr. Dobzhansky and his doctoral student, and Catholic Priest, and winner of the Templeton Prize, Dr. Francisco Ayala, both were evolutionary biologists and really cool guys.

"if you found a bone in the dirt you don't know if it had any children" correct. But, unless Kent thinks that there's only one individual of each species alive at a given time, I really don't understand his reasoning. If we find one individual of a species, we don't know it had children, but we have to know others in it's species did. Seriously, this isn't the first time I've heard him say that as a "debunk" of fossils being evidence for evolution. And I haven't seen anyone bring that rebuttal up either.
He’s a big dumb sometimes!
@@TheSkepTick and calling him a big dumb is a severe understatement and an insult to other big dumb people 🤣
@@TheSkepTick sometimes?? lol
Given that fossilisation is a rare event, requiring a quite narrow set of circumstances, if we find one individual of a species that was fossilised, it implies that there must at least have been a population of those individuals alive around that time.
@@geraintwd true, but what's obvious to most people is anathema to Kent.
Kent's arguments boil down to: use your eyes. Don't do any research, don't use experts, don't try to use tool to find things your own two eyes can't see.
They don't even use their eyes. There is a video of Kent saying his methods are so fool proof even a child could use them. then proceeds to ask a little girl in the audience if two squirrels of different species in a photo are the same "kind". She says no and he just stares into the void and then continues as if nothing had happened.
@@juan0808 I want someone to use the "what's obvious to a 5-year-old" epistemology on Kent himself. Show a group of 5-year-olds footage of Kent's usual ramblings and then ask them if they thought he was really smart or pretty much of a goofball.

You know what other weird phenomena I’ve observed? Whenever I see Kent in a video the face shaped impression in my wall gets deeper and I develop a headache. I just can’t explain it…. Must be god.
I look at God the same way I look at the Tooth Fairy or Santa.
Oh, nice, at least you got to look at them.😊
Except neither the Tooth Fairy nor Santa have ever asked their followers to kill, shun LGBTQ+ people, or indoctrinate children for the purposes of taking 10% of all future earnings! So, demonstrably they are better than any god. 😊
Santa is more credible. Loosely based on St Nick. Bishop from middle ages who served in Turkey. He rode a horse drawn slay and gave toys to orpans. 😃
There's more evidence for Santa and the Tooth Fairy, though...
Santa and the Tooth Fairy never murdered innocent men, women and children....
"Every farmer in the world understands that their cows only made baby cows and their ducks made baby ducks. Evolution ruined biology!"
You know what else farmers also understand? That they can be specifically, strategically, and purposefully selective breed their crops for higher yields and extra contents of certain nutrients, and they can also breed chickens that have more meat on their bones or lay more eggs more often, or they can make their cows produce more milk for a longer period of time between pregnancies. Evolution helped revolutionize agriculture in ways never thought possible
kent *cannot* change. saying same stuff he did for ages and ignoring any and all corrections is what brings him money.
*even if* he at some point understood he is wrong, he cant admit to it because he will end up penniless.
that being said, i dont think he will ever get anything - this guy whole life is ignorance and confidence. its an absolute waste of time to even try to argue or respond to him. its like trying to argue with a pre-recorded message.
He IS a prerecorded message. I believe if you play any of his videos with the corresponding part of his 40 years old VHS ramblings, it probably coincide almost word for word.
Im pretty sure he knows what he is saying in bullshit, but since he is conman, he just doesnt care.

...I shouldn't be laughing at that...
Animal and plant husbandry is proof of evolution and we've been doing both for thousands of years. We can force changes through selective breeding and observe them happen. The only difference between forced evolution and natural evolution is where the pressures and mate selection come from.
Creation is literally a selective process, I hate when Kent acts like it isn't. A painting is created by selecting choice paints, choice canvas, choice muse, like what is this man on about?
Note how he accepts that the Khan Academy do excellent teaching on many subjects, but as soon as it comes to the subject that shows his particular religion to be baloney, he suddenly has a problem with them.
Also note how Kent’s standard for truth is a debate on a channel that’s biased in his favour.
I find it telling that every time he simply utters the words "evolution is true" in whatever context even the one where he is just stating what others say,he feels the need to sneak in a lil "its not" immediatly after.cant resist the urge and start his next sentence.
spent 20 minutes there and i don't think i've heard a single actual argument

Did everyone coordinate a full frontal assault on Kent for today? He's getting slapped, I mean "Whacked" from one channel to the next.

The problem with the design argument for homologous structures is that the structure is clearly not optimal for all species. It's not just the existence of these structures. It's the PATTERN of variation across taxons.
I like the fact that he keeps saying that the people that have studied this and have degrees in this area are completely wrong and a designer is the answer.
How about they are correct, and anyone that uses religion to explain. I think that's a better argument.

Remember one of Kent’s best comebacks is to refer to an episode on his channel for the “answer” to the question he was asked. Meanwhile what he is referring to is just lots of word salad and than restating his premise with absolutely no evidence or good arguments.
Today must be "Kent Hovind Day". Everyone is doing videos about Kent Hovind today.
Debunking him I hope😄
"Losing something is not evidence of how you got everything" Really? Says the guy who evidently got everything he has by losing either his integrity his ability to comprehend or both?
Just once I would like to confront Hovind on his "Similar designer" thing. Namely he likes to (or at least used to) compare the similar designs of cars. well those different cars had different designers. Therefore by his logic there's more than one designer meaning his precious book can't be right.
And all this coming from someone who actually believes that same book (but not literally)
Also, if it was design and not evolution, you'd see similar designs for similar functions across otherwise unrelated lines, and wouldn't see similar things that appear to have been repurposed for entirely different functions.
@@NovaSaber We do get convergent evolution, but it doesn't work the way you would expect if any intelligence were involved. Also I doubt we would have the recurrent laryngeal nerve.

Just a very simple and basic explanation of how common structures can point to common ancestors. My mother has light skin, and my father has slightly darker skin. If I was fully black, it would prove that I do not come from one of them, however if I was closer to white, then I match them.
Actually that's not quite how it works, but I appreciate the effort in making the analogy. It's entirely possible that you could have been born fully black, for example, if your father had ancestors who were fully black.

I find that pretty hilarious that Kent brought up cows. In the 19th century, the American bison population that had gone down significantly due to over-hunting. In an attempt to save them, bison were bred with cattle and made beefalos, which are neither truly cows or true bison. This was later abandoned, but as a result, all bison in the US have 1-2% cattle DNA in them.
I really wish Kent would come after the videos you put out Tick. If not to actually try and disprove your points, you know in his very clever way of saying "nuh-uh" and "god did it," but just to watch him lose his damn mind over you "actually believing" in Lisa the Rainbow Giraffe
EVEN BETTER: I want Kent and Hans Wormhat to do a video together and see if they can agree on what animals do and don't exist. And volcanoes. And whatever else Hans talks about.
He not once presents an argument of how his 'science' functions. Not one piece of evidence.
The problem with the idea of a common designer is that animals don't all use the same design for the same function. That would be evidence for multiple designers in that case. For example wings of birds, bats and pterosaurs all achieve flight but are structured different. That would mean bats, birds and pterosaurs were each designed by a different god.
"If you find a bone in the dirt you don't know if it had children." But surely, we know that its parents had children, right? Whenever I see creationists, they always make these points that they seem very pleased with yet I have no idea what point he's even making. Is his contention that we need to know about every single individual along a line of descent and that it's directly related to his parents and offspring in order to infer that it even is a line of descent? Did he .... did he meet God personally?
God is so intelligent he gave the dolphin the same bone structure as a land animal, instead of more suitable fins like a fish.
So intelligent, he had to create the leopard to run fast enough to catch the gazelle, having made the mistake of making the gazelle fast enough to escape it.
Hovind was giving a lecture and claimed experts stated the fossil Lucy was a chimpanzee. He was called out on it, but could not name those supposed experts. In reality, he was relying on a self-proclaimed expert who was a dentist.
To be fair, you would ask a dentist about teeth structure of something. But I doubt the dentist Kent consulted was the right sort of dentist either.
I watched this reluctantly. Hovind is, next to Powel, the greatest waste of time and energy ever produced by humanity. Luckily, he's so transparently out of gas that even he admits it while whining in his typically "Christians are persecuted" way.
Thanks!

Louder and slowly for the creationists in the back of the class - individuals don't evolve, POPULATIONS evolve.
What’s sad to me is Kent wants all these millions of dollars to do what a biologist with some compute time can do in a few hours. Who else was trying to think of the most recent common ancestors between starfish and blue jays? I think it’s deterostomes but could it be farther back than that at eukaryotes?

Kent seems upset that atheists think that "we all came from a rock" Yet creationists think we came from processed rock, squished into the shape of a man, and a magical poof made it come to life. Hmmm, yeah okay, wizard made man from rock using magic. It appears that atheists have simply removed the magical wizard, along with the magical poof from said wizard.
