A look at some of the most famous urban myths spread by creationists, and the fundamentalists who peddle them. This video is the first of a series that will debunk creationist myths, and answer questions that fundamentalists have about the real evidence for our origins.

********************
Which came first ... Word-of-Mouth Marketing or Marketing worthy of Word-of-Mouth? It's similar to the age-old question of which came first--the Chicken or the Egg? This particular question has Creationists going up against Evolutionists in heated debates. Same goes for Word-of-Mouth Marketing where in one corner you have WOM Creationists and in the other corner you have WOM Evolutionists debating which method is best.
johnmoore, the marketing medic from the Brand Autopsy Marketing Practice, adds his unique perspective to this raging debate by dissecting the differences between Creationist WOM and Evolutionist WOM.
The Extant Dodos explain the meaning of the top 25 most common logical fallacies used by creationist speakers with examples from the most popular creationist speakers.
Please refrain from putting your fist through the monitor. This video is maddening! Watch these creationist fools indocrinate these kids with their nonsense.
Evolution is a scientific THEORY. Theories are supported by MILLIONS of independently verifiable FACTS. To deny evolution is to deny all of those facts and the hundreds of scientific techniques used to observe them. Worse yet, to deny evolution is to deny reason and logic, the core of the scientific method. Creationists are willing to deny all of this for evolution, yet have no problem exploiting the fruits of science for their own benefit, i.e. cars, computers, modern medicine.
Just like falling is a fact and gravity is a theory that describes why you fall, organisms evolving and speciating are facts and the theory of evolution explains why. If you are willing to deny evolution, why not gravity, germs, atoms, electricity, etc. They are all theories too.
Funny thing is, evolution, both micro and macro, have been directly observed. So to deny evolution is to deny a direct observation. It's the equivalent of denying the sky is blue yet refusing to look up.
I should add, scientists do not BELIEVE in evolution. We ACCEPT it because of the enormous pile of data supporting it. Just like we accept that gravity follows an inverse square law, matter is composed of atoms, germs cause disease, and moving electrons constitute electricity. Scientific theories are not a faith. You can test them yourself and falsify them. Do you have faith your computer runs on electrons or do you accept it? Think about it.

Learn the facts, spread the truth, and most importantly, Think About It.

the creationist
love is dead
This is an old
And funny poem
I accidentally
Overheard
It keeps
The little children
Playing
And bigger children
Spread the word
My memory is bad
So I always tend
To forget how it goes
But
Life is my creation
Is my best friend
Imagination
Is my defense
And I'll keep walking
When skies are grey
Whatever happens
Was meant that way
You're no better
Or no worse
Than the others
We are all the same
And life
Is just a moment
You might as well
Enjoy this day
It's time
To start believing
That everything
You want is on it's way
And
Life is my creation
Is my best friend
Imagination
Is my defense
And I'll keep walking
When skies are grey
Whatever happens
Was meant that way
We'll be growing
Into knowing
While we're floating
Keep on going (more)
Well venomfangx still wants a 'debate' but still has failed to realize that he needs to know something about the subject, otherwise he is just expressing an opinion.
Opinions are like assholes, everyone got one.
In science an opinion has almost no merit. It needs to be supported by physical evidence reasoned logic, and an extensive insight into the knowledge that has previously been gained by scientific research before anyone will seriously entertain the concept.
Venomfangx has none of these factors.
My latest attempt to reason with venomfangx.
In the meantime it looks like Venomfangx has now utterly lost the plot, claiming in his latest video (initially entitled 'I can disprove Evolution (How I won the Nobel Prize)) that:
'I expect my nobel prize to be given to Shawn, the possessor of the Venomfangx youtube account.'
It is difficult to know how to respond to that other than to say that he has formally unplugged from reality. This is such an utterly wild statement that its no longer in the realm of mere ignorance and stupidity, but into the range of 4* batshit crazy!
He also has given up actually appearing in his videos (I can't think where he got that non-narcissistic idea from!)
*Edit 19th May 08*
Well VFX has deleted the video claiming he has won a Nobel Prize (can't think why he did that! but dont worry though VFX I have a copy for the record). He now claims merely to have disproved evolution, and all it took was a 10 minute unfocused ramble where he ignores virtually everything that has been discovered over the last 150 yrs. Regrettably a display of ignorance is not an accepted method of 'disproving' something in the scientific literature.

Oks this is the last round. The latest video of venomfangx is a bunch of rambling fallacies loosely tied together. Indeed you could spend half an hour just untangling his latest video, and it would serve little purpose, and would really be quite dull...
For example, hes wrong from the first line about 'unless you can validate a theory its useless'. You cannot 'validate' a theory..... Well exactly, if the guy doesn't even understand the scientific method, whats the point in explaining why his implementation of what he doesn't understand is wrong!
His second line is wrong too, about it being untestable if the inside of watermelons are blue.
Well infact hes even wrong on his premise.... Color is due to the light you receive from an object. The inside of the watermelon has no light, therefore it has no color, neither red or blue!
However the pigment molecules are there, and you could monitor these by a non-invasive method such as nmr.
Incidentally, VFX just copied this argument off Hovind. When Hovind used it it was bull too! Ahh the joy of being able to think for yourself rather than just parrot idiots eh venom!!
Anyways, venom is obviously an attention whore, and while I have no problem in using him as a poster boy for creationists stupidity (a role in which he actually plays a beneficial role for civilization), he seems to be laboring under the delusion that I have nothing better to do than explain to him why hes wrong on almost everything he says.
....so in an attempt to draw a line under this and get back to actually doing something useful myself, I have simply called for a straight up vote.

Creationists have apparently created a bot that hits opposing videos with 80+ 1-star ratings in a very short amount of time. This bot hit this channel HARD several months ago. I didn't make a video response about this back then for various. However, I recently learned that this bot is *STILL* hitting videos.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thCBtJhvwVA
Thus, it's likely that inaction, in this case, would mean capitulation!
The star rating have a huge impact on the visibility of YT videos by affecting their appearance on searches, recommended videos and related videos. Therefore, artificially hitting a video with 80+ or some odd stars is a form of censorship. This is completely in-line with previous creationist tactics, which include not only censorship on their own channels, but false DMCAs, flagging campaigns and mass-down-voting of comments.
Voting 5 to the affected videos would be very much appreciated. Also, please keep in mind that a major component of this channel is to encourage open discussion and dialog. This seems to be something that creationists don't want. By repairing this damage you are allowing the conversation to continue!
Thank you. Sincerely.

Here are two smaller channels that were pretty much crippled by this bot. Please give them a hand as well.
