  &quot;You have a blowhole, Jane, it&apos;s in the middle of your face&quot; isn&apos;t meant to be a burn but goddamnit it sounds like one hell of a burn.

  The premise is that these two are high school or college students are in a biology course, their teachers are trying to teach them about evolution. Then while they are studying, they demostrate that they are refusing to learn what they are being taught. Then they pat themselves on the back for being smarter than over a hundred years of science.

  As a creationist who critically investigated the claims of creationists, I am now an ex-creationist.

  These people look at a pomeranian and an burmese mountain dog and say &quot;yeah that&apos;s the result of a few thousand runs of selective dog breeding&quot; but then turn around and say &quot;but tens of millions of years of selective pressure could NEVER make a canid into whale-size&quot; when the smallest part of the cetacean spectrum alive &nbsp;today, the vaquita, is <b>literally already smaller than an english mastiff by weight</b>

  Saying &quot;Way too many changes that would have to be made&quot; is like laying down cards from a shuffled deck and then say &quot;Way too many cards that would have to be drawn in that specific order&quot; afterwards. <br><br>It&apos;s not the only possible result, it&apos;s just the one we got!

  Maybe if they would engage with the material they wouldn&apos;t have been stuck in the same intro to bio class for all these years.

  ‘Is it <b>JUST</b> me, or do John &amp; Jane seem to have a harder &amp; harder time deliberately misrepresenting “evolution”?’

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwRIb1d18GA&amp;t=334">5:34</a> I don&apos;t know why, but when I heard this, I just imagined that while Noah was dealing with the flood on the surface, at the bottom of all the worlds oceans there were teams of angels offing sea animals in the right order to fake the fossil record

  Its so amusing to me how these apologists will say stuff like &quot;Is it just me or is it hard to believe that an animal this size evolved to be an animal this much bigger&quot; but you could say the exact same thing about &quot;is it just me but is it hard to believe that humans were created by an invisible being out of mud&quot;. &nbsp;They act so indignant about hyperbolic, strawman arguments and then turn around and believe even crazier stuff like its nothing.
