At this point, after making this video, I've had enough with these short creationist videos because I feel that they're easy pickings (despite the fact that, at some points, they're hilarious to laugh at them). I have another Jesusland uploading this weekend, but it's ridiculous to see how convinced these creationists are when peddling their nonsense on the internet, whether they're Christian or Muslim. In this video, I try to give a brief refutation as to why Message Islam's experiment wouldn't work and how he doesn't get that rocks don't have the chemical properties which would make "inanimate things to animate things," as he would put it.

Top 5 Myths About Atheists & Atheism

So after reading an excellent read which I highly recommend, I would like to share the myths which really annoy me as an atheist. Because this list is solely my opinion, I predict some people are going to disagree with some on the list which is why discussion is to be had in the comments section. Maybe some of you have heard theists state a few of these myths (I guarantee you if you read the book you'll definitely have heard plenty more).

Welcome to Jesusland (Part 11) - Questioning Darwin: Is Creationism Dangerous? (Documentary Review)

2014-02-15T21:35:24.515Z

Video response & review of HBO’s documentary “Questioning Darwin,” which you can watch if you have HBO On Demand or HBO Go.

I got to admit, I never been more amused and shocked at the boneheaded responses from creationists while watching “Questioning Darwin.” However, what was really disappointing was that for a documentary about the life and creationists not understanding Darwin’s initial findings during his life, this really didn’t cover enough evidence for evolution that was found AFTER Darwin’s death. Granted, it does cover Darwin’s life pretty aptly, but it didn’t cover what scientists have found which completely go against the creationist account of Genesis in the Bible. Nevertheless, it was still amazingly humorous to watch some of these creationists blunder on so many things regarding Darwin and evolution (examples: 2 plus 2 equals 5 man and “I want to tell Darwin now” woman).

So there's a 3-D movie which is about the biblical account of Genesis? Ok. However, the goal of the people behind this project is promote an event which conflicts with science and reality. Also, to make this even more embarrassing, they've gotten VenomFangX, the original creationist king of youtube, to promote this project which will probably be limited in theaters. So much for reaching out to the lost (that is, everyone who accepts science).
