"If you don't 'believe in' evolution, it's because you don't understand evolution."
-Richard Dawkins

This video is a beautiful illustration of exactly what Dawkins said. Pure ignorance, all the way around.

Ignorance 101.... These kids obviously have not learned anything about evolution. The teacher in this video should be fired.

It made me ((shutter)) to watch this going on in a public school. Ignorance at it's worst, and supported by a so-called science teacher. A national watch-dog group should evaluate all science teachers in the public schools who endorse intelligent design, and get them out of our classrooms. Wish I knew the name of this documentary, it wasn't cited on the YouTube page. Sounds like it was produced by the BBC. Imagine how other industrialized countries view us... Shameful.

This is fucked up.
"How could an African-American person have evolved from a white person? We're different skin."
Gave me the heebiejeebies. Fire the teacher and those kids' parents.

"He put us here, and then put all the animals and plants and stuffs to make us survive."
One of my biggest irritants is this kind of selfishness and arrogance.

"How could an African-American person have evolved from a white person? We're different skin."
This is a really confusing statement, but involves classic southern racism. Great.

These kids are too old to not have been exposed to a real explanation of evolution. This is a bigger problem than one teacher. That said: this one teacher is doing nothing at all to further their understanding of the evolutionary process. He's basically saying "yeah i think it's stupid too, but they make me teach it." to the kids. He's reinforcing their ignorance. Moreover, he's acting as if creationism deserves equal time on in a science class just because it's in the Bible. I'm not at all sure the teacher understands the concept. (from the limited statements in the video clip)

These poor kids are living to die. No mater what they do, the promise of a better life after death, means to them that there is no reason do make themselves better than what they are. Only death will give them fulfillment, the reason they are here after all is to live "GOD"S live to reach heaven. Bet I could talk them in to putting on the bomb and walking into a non believers nursery school.

If I were a science teacher, I might be inclined to give creationism a "fair shake" (but not equal time by any means). I would do so by giving it a thorough examination, shining the light of reason on it and causing it to retreat into the shadows. Holding its claims up against science, particularly evolution would put it in its place. Maybe I'm being too idealistic in this regard & unlike the idiot "science" teacher in this clip, I'd probably get fired rather quickly thanks to some complaining student, accusing me of "insulting" his religion.

I would sleep better tonight if I hadn't watched that.
