A video of Kirk putting the smack down on evelution. I really liked the biplane vs 747 argument..... about as far as I could get, between the nausea and laughing I had to quit watching.

If "stupid" were a metric base unit (st), we would measure that video in Terrastupids (10^18).

Errr, 10^ 18...

What's with that smiley popping up?

Whenever you put an '8' and a right parenthesis ')' together, the BB turns it into a sunglassed smiley, like so:

I was unaware that Kirk Cameron was a qualified biologist. You learn new things every day.

I couldn't watch the whole thing, but it strikes me that one of their examples actualy works against them. In a sense, one could argue that the 747 did evolve from the bi-plane, in that it is the result of many generations of refining and improving the simpler mechanics of the bi-plane. The 747 has replaced the biplane because it is better suited to carry out the common tasks of the two machines. To accept their interpretation of the analogy, one has to assume that te 747 and the bi-plane are being produced simultaneusly, a laughable and pointless supposition.

He's such a worthless little twat. The cast of Growing Pains was made up of some seriously fucked up people. One was anorexic, another a complete moron appropriately named Alan Thick... the only cast member who wasn't unstable or cretinous was Julie McCullough, but Cameron got her fired because she showed her tits in Big Bad Mama 2. I hope Tracey Gold puked on that asshole on the set when trying to keep her weight down. Fuck Kirk Cameron.

Excuse me for my ignorance, but...who the hell is Kirk Cameron? I'm fairly sure I've heard that name somewhere, but absolutely no idea where it was.

He was one of the kids from the 80's sitcom Growing Pains. Since then he's had very little acting work.

I think my brain grew a tumor just from watching the first 5 minutes. I couldn't stomach the rest. Is this what 'B' or in this case, 'C' list celebraties do when they know when they've realised that they're nothing but a bunch of has beens?

IIRC Kirk Cameron is also the lead actor in the Left Behind movie. Speaks much for this guy.

Superman - I like it, need to remember terrastupids for other things.

Darth Wong - Of course he his, in fact he's more powerful then Chuck Norris, it says so in his bible. Mind you, it looks like "Kirk is more powerful then Chuck Norris" written in crayon on the inside cover of his bible by a three year old.

UCBooties - That's exactly what I was thinking

More powerful then Chuck Norris!? BLASPHEMY!!!

[insert holy war]

There should be a religion centered around Chuck Norris, saying that he is the almighty creator of the universe. It's more plausible then this whole invisible incorporeal identity which only contacts people who believe in it. Or so they claim. Chuck Norris has been seen on camera, and he's been filmed kicking ass. That puts him levels above this 'God' fellow in my book.

Hilariously, from the questions he was asking the airlines, the operators seem to have figured out his game. At about 13:55 in the film he turns around and says "Guy says im a wierdo or a fundie"

So their line of questioning questioning is so transparently fundie bullshit that a person called completely out of the blue assumes that they must be a fundie

Superboy · Post by **Superboy** » 2006-01-12 10:43am

I love the quote "When you learn to speak to a person's conscience and circumnavigate the intellect, the subject of evolution seems to dissapear,"

Then Kirk's Aussie buddy talks about how this is good because it means he doesn't have to be an expert on the subject of evolution. The guy's who's hosting a movie about evolution, he doesn't have to be an expert. Classic.

This Kirk Cameron vs Chuck Norris spammy bullshit is unintentially apropos and immensely amusing, Fundie Fucktard vs Fundie Fucktard.

Wait, Chuck Norris is a fundie?

By the way, what kind of syndication or distribution does this program recieve, as in how many people are actively consumming this bull-shit.

He advocates reintroducing the bible into public school curriculums. Apparently, he was raised fundie, but got away from it for a while during movies and whatnot, but was reintroduced to the whole bit by his wife.

I saw this on FSTDT, they ambush people who know nothing about evolution and trot out their bullshit to try to convince them, instead of going to actual scientists.

Metatwaddle · Post by **Metatwaddle** » 2006-01-12 01:52pm

I think this is a fairly good litmus test for rational beings' tolerance for bullshit. I personally didn't make it through the first minute. I propose that all of us who make it past five minutes should be sent on a mission to fundie boards to try to explain evolution to them.

I made it to the openning comment with the "There was a big bang in our production studio." I'll try to make it further in later.
