Finally!!! Someone who makes sense when trying to argue against evolution!

The video isn't too long, btw.

His argument should be called "The peanut case".

Or Peabrain.

The video is about 3 mins. That's 3 min too long.

Look at that video carefully - he removes the screw top and peels back the seal.

You and I know that those seals are the devil's work to get off first time, especially intact - yes, he had taken it off carefully before before filming; he had to check beforehand that no new life had formed. [^]

Have you heard of Poe's Law? It basically states that it's really hard to tell a parody of fundamentalism from the real thing, as they're both so ridiculous.

I feel a little torn about this one, if it's parody - it's excellent.  If it's real, well, oh dear... I just worry that some people would believe it.

[Evie (OP)]

Oh, no, it's not parody. Chuck Missler is a real evangelical who formed a church called Koinonia House in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

For some interesting reading, take a look at this list of "technical" articles (all about science!!! Really!!!) on his website. http://www.khouse.org/articles_cat/2008/technical/

Wholly shmolley..... LOL.. Certainly couldn't be serious, but fear he was!!

Hey I have been to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. as a seventeen year old.. My sister lived

there! Hee hee hee...

I conducted my own test on this theory. I bought a jar of peanut butter and checked to see that it was OK. When I went to inspect it today, low and behold, THERE WAS LIFE IN IT.

Yes I can report that Chuck Missler has been involved in a cover up.

Life on Earth DID begin in a jar of peanut butter. Eat your heart out Darwin.

[einsteinium252]

That proves it.

Peanutbutter owned evolution, single handedly.

[stevewillie]

It's clear to me that peanut butter evolved from some kind of nut.

[Ray hinton]

All hail Peanut Butter !

AFLIPPINMAZIN !

[Don_1]

I actually did buy some peanut butter the other day, because of this thread. I remember I used to love it when I was a kid.

It' not as I remember it. Got dextrose in it!!! YUK. I'm sure it shouldn't have a sweet taste.

[TonyCap]

Wow, these guys really don't understand evolution. 

[Don_1]

I am now testing this theory on a jar of Nutella.

There certainly seems to be something going on in this jar. Every time I open it for an inspection there appears to be less in it than the last time.

Next week I shall be testing Greengage jam.

[scigirence]

So it's finally been proved that the earth is NOT made of peanut butter!  Can we put this rumor to rest?

[lyner]

Wow, these guys really don't understand evolution. 

These guys just don't understand NUMBERS.
He used the word 'billions' and implied that it was an unthinkably large amount. How ignorant can you get?

[VAB]

Hey all,

Do yourselves a favour and read the book "In the Footsteps of Eve" by Lee R Berger. It clearly proves that fatty acids (contained in all nuts and also fish) are the reason for the growth of the human brain. It's actually a really entertaining book to read; not academic and also not based on nonsense!Certainly clearly proves how the brain developed and also why...
