Two Minutes to Understanding the Theory of Evolution
I was glancing through YouTube yesterday and came across this wonderful video, “The Theory of Evolution in 2 Minutes.” (I also realized that YouTube’s grouping of science and technology together can be very annoying—the day after the latest Apple conference, everything is about the iPhone.) And if you’re looking for more ways to waste some time, I recommend the video from Theo Gray, author of Mad Science, on how to make frozen mercury sculptures.

Wow, I just watched repeatedly the Youtube presentation ‘Two Minutes to Understand Evolution’. Undoubtedly one of the more concise promotions of an unscientific, unsubstantiated, ‘faith’ position in the blogsphere. It would take a large book to elucidate the flaws so I will try to highlight one or two points. 1. It took all of twenty seconds before the presentor used the undisputed scientific ‘if’ which then followed by a whole string of solidly supported ‘ifs’. 2. The number of real biologists who dispute evolution grows daily. Even though they are often penalized for their rigorously scientific positions that defy the settled fact. Incidently, if evolution is undisputed fact how is it that the disputed parts of the theory involves all the relevent data (where, when, and how).
