  Hey I&apos;m a farmer. I&apos;ve never seen a pig turn into a non pig. But I can say that I&apos;ve seen farmers spray pesticide on weeds that reproduce sexually like male and female pigweed. And the billions of seeds they produce some of them that have a one in a billion mutation that is resistant to pesticide. Then those organisms reproduce and the new offspring are resistant to pesticides. I promise I watched it from start to finish. Non resistance to resistance.

  Why people treat evolution like it’s Pokémon. You not going to see a salamander evolve into a Komodo’s dragon overnight.

  I love watching Kent Hovind complain that we don&apos;t see evolution around us, specifically citing the profession that LITERALLY INVENTED man-made evolution.

  As a farmer we DO see change over time our animals slowly do look different from their ancestors not radically different because that would take millions of years but changes do happen <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO2qV3HEP04&amp;t=17">0:17</a>

  &quot;Why don&apos;t farmers see animals change over time&quot; is ridiculous when domesticated animals ARE the result of animals changing over time.

  The Standard Creationist Argument:<br>- &quot;We don&apos;t see animals changing!&quot;<br>- &quot;What about the modifications in domesticated animals?&quot;<br>- &quot;You can&apos;t count that! I want to see dogs change into birds!&quot;<br>- &quot;But evolution doesn&apos;t say dogs will change into birds.&quot;<br>- &quot;It&apos;s a religion!&quot;<br>- &quot;What&quot;

  I simply love that the &quot;boneless dog&quot; has to this point basically become a insider meme. 😂

  Thank Clint for spreading the message that we need to talk and understand each other. In a world full of social media noise that&apos;s is trying to tell us that such and such side is wrong and evil, it&apos;s nice to see someone promoting that we need to talk and understand were we are all coming from. Love your content Clint.

  Charlie Kirk did accurately state a steel man argument that Jackson was trying to make, but he never addressed it. &nbsp;He just said that the percentage of single black mothers have increased over time and &quot;it&apos;s not because of systemic racism&quot;. &nbsp;He didn&apos;t make any argument at all, he stated Jacksons argument, then said &quot;nuh uh&quot;. &nbsp;He addressed ZERO of the points made in the argument as it was stated.<br>Being polite and restating the argument accurately is a trick to make him look honest, when he&apos;s just doing the same thing the others do in the end, and avoids actually addressing the strong argument. &nbsp;Politely not addressing the steel man is not really different in the end, than addressing a straw man.<br>I&apos;m sad that Clint didn&apos;t recognize this dishonest tactic.

  I say this as someone with a history background. What Charlie Kirk did was manipulate Jackson’s argument and throw out many points that he was making, and Jackson was too nervous to notice. Jackson was trying to explain how systematic racism still persists into today, but Kirk twisted it to support a highly racist and erroneous argument. It isn’t building a steel man. It’s deliberate manipulation.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wO2qV3HEP04&amp;t=41">0:41</a> &nbsp;no he wasn&apos;t explaining why Farmers don&apos;t see animals change over time, he couldn&apos;t, because, of course, over long enough time, they sorta did, especially when breeding, but he just ignores this and claims they don&apos;t. Well, they do, end of case 😂
