@@MegaChickenfish I consider myself a "creationist", but not a "young earth creationist". I believe something greater than ourselves exists and our universe is not what it seems. The universe itself only exists with consciousness, or at least it behaves differently - depending on if someone's observing it nor not. There's all sorts of power laws that determine our universe, and the fibonacci sequence is everywhere. Everything else would be personal, subjective Faith, and existential dread. But I do believe in natural selection. Darwin never criticized the Church and in fact they buried him in Westminster Abbey. I think, like Copernicus telling us that we were not the center of the universe - this new science frightens and confuses _some_ religious people. Of course, no one today would find this basic fact controversial when it comes to having faith. I think Soren Kierkegaard, a very religious man, but it best here: _"Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion-and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion ... while Truth again reverts to a new minority."_
Also, maybe I'm out of touch, but you don't have too many people fighting evolution these days, do you? Right now a lot of the anti-science people - from my experience, anyways - are coming from far-left ideologues arguing about "gender fluidity" and gender dysphoria. You've also got people saying a human life is not a life, until it is "viable outside of the womb". There's also anti-science people in climate change. On both sides. Those flat out denying its existence, or the human intervention is speeding it up - but also climate change alarmists spreading misinformation and think if half of the world goes vegan and switches light bulbs, we can reverse climate change. We can't. Pseudoscience comes from the left, the right, the center, religious, atheist, agnostic - whatever.

And yet here it is, one of their mockeries unironically becoming exactly what it was meant to mock.

@@maxxor-overworldhero6730 Yea it would be great if atheist didn't exist. I mean, if only someone can PROVE their religion true with solid evidence instead of following stories that are thousands of years old.
@@UltraAnimaniac101 Just because Faith is involved doesn't mean that there isn't evidence. For example, the only reason that we confirmed that the Hittites, King Nimrod, the Assyrian capital of Ninevah, Gath and various other named places all existed is because of Archeologists using the Bible for reference. Archeological digs have found evidence of a battle where David and Goliath fought. Expanding on the Tel Aviv airport's runways had construction workers stumble upon the remains of a gate to a Biblical city thought either lost or made up. And then you have records of the Romans officially talking about Jesus on a bureaucratic level. There's even preserved records from Magi orders that show extremely strange astronomical phenomena near or right at the star Regulus of the constellation Leo, which gives credence to the story of the Magi, since not only in Astrology does that have a literal "King of Kings" symbology (Regulus is known as the "King Star", and Leo as a Lion held obvious ties to kinghood symbolically), but we know that Magi living during the Babylonian Exile interacted frequently with the Jews in exile, and they would have been as a result well-versed in the prophecies of Isaiah and such. I ramble a bit, but my point is that even if you don't believe the supernatural stuff, there's so much that doesn't get talked about nearly as much as it should. And it's truly, truly fascinating.
A theory in casual conversation is an idea, a theory in academia is a concept that has been established, peer reviewed, demonstrated as replicable (this can be mathematical or physical so long as the results can be achieved time and time again while obeying other established laws of physics, thermodynamics, etc), and confirmed as fact (which will inevitably be expanded upon and disproven, but is for now fact).

We see it all the time from the Naturalist Evolutionist types when it is pointed out that it takes a greater leap of faith to believe the Universe, the specific values of the universal constants which dictate its Laws, and Life itself, are all one giant coincidence, rather than the deliberate and intentional creation of an intelligent mind who made it with purpose and focus. So they move the goalposts to a position that is unscientific and can never be proven. The idea of a Multiverse. All God has to do is to condescend (in the original and literal meaning of the word) and step down and show Himself in the flesh and bone and like any archaeological find you could then observe and measure Him. Whereas inanimate objects like separate universes cannot and never can be proven to exist, as part of the definition of being separate from our universe means they cannot be observed or measured, and thus are not a scientifically provable hypothesis.
BleachMaster15 that’s not entirely true we can use science to observe relics of the past and come to a conclusion. I.e fossils and artifacts their carbon dating shows that they existed before the Bible says the world was created and the fact that those examples have survived a supposedly great flood which would destroy them. That and science says their are more than just our planet out their and the worlds isn’t flat where religion does says the world is flat and only our planet earth is the only planet and the only one with life.
The debate with Dr. Banjo was a spot on commentary on the way creationists, and other advocates of weak scientific ideas, shift the goalposts around when they start to fail
@@Koichi-Kun The problem is people deny God because they think it makes them smarter. The reason goalposts shift is because Science is finite and changing and God is infinite and absolute. When you ask enough questions, evolution without creation is an impossibility. In reality, you could view the two as one in the same.
@@Koichi-Kun You can believe in some deist conception of God that created the universe and then went away, but Darwinian evolution pretty much precludes the idea of a personal god
@@Thrifty032781 Actually that's impossible. But only because evolution is the change in existing life, not the creation of it. Evolution needs life to be already present for it to happen.
The thing about this slideshow device is that the professor only presses a button to display the next species, which means all the images were already loaded onto the device. Dr. Banjo presents each step as a missing piece, yet the answer to his own question is on his own data drive.
This scene It's so good it reminds me of a debate I've seen on a podcast. The creationist brought several printed articles saying the data in there disproved the scientist point but the scientist knew those papers firsthand and they were actually going against what the creationist was saying. Funny thing the creationist was also a scientist.
When comedy is to accurate of a representation of reality. Edit on 10 July 2023: Islam is not "especially bad". I was a fool who didn't understand that religion evolves with the culture that adopts it, that culture is held back by poverty, and that poverty is created by imperialism. History repeats itself, so if powerful nations such as the US stopped invading and economically dominating Islamic nations, then they would become more socially progressive. This can be proven by observing Islamic communities living in Christian societies. Furthermore, there are plenty of other things I've said in this reply section that I no longer belief. I warn against assuming anything about my beliefs based off anything I wrote more than a year ago. I do however, still hold that the state of religious domination in the US is a depressing sight. I do not however, see religion is the single largest causer of modern society's problems. I no longer wish to engage in long debates about the ethics of books that most people haven't personally read.
And the conclusion of the episode, that robotic lifeform, although evolved originally came from a creator. Implying that the first organic life on earth could also came from a creator. That is the lesson of the whole episode if you watch it carefully.
We are not at all able to prove that life somehow spontaneously popped into existence from a non-living molecule. Hell, we can't even really get a complete picture of Earth's prehistory yet. Do we have evidence for evolution? Sure. But is evolution the only possible to answer to the questions of the origins of life? I'd say no. There is way too much that we do not yet know, and may never know. Does this mean I believe in God? Not necessarily.
You’d think the whole episode was making fun of creationism, but the punchline is that Farnsworth creates evolving robots that turn into a copy of human civilisation and don’t believe he (or anyone) created them. This episode was fantastic all around.

This is not about being angry at Religin, its being angry at only Christianity, and not because Christians oppose Science, but because you need to push your own Religion. By the way Atheists move goal posts all the Time.

Thing is, Einstein stated that you can't tell the difference between gravity and sufficient acceleration. So it would tie in with the Flat Earth theory, and if anything, would give them more ammunition to use.
@@pyroshell5652 except since gravity is an acceleration of 9.81m/s/s, if a flat Earth was accelerating upwards at that speed, it would eventually move beyond the speed of light or (in a realistic scenario, but we're talking about a flat Earth here) become unable to speed up because it's impossible to move beyond the speed of light, meaning we'd no longer be speeding up, which would mean there'd be nothing keeping us on Earth as we'd be moving at the same speed as earth with nothing pulling us towards it.
I whole heartedly believe that once space travel become trivial for us and people can come and go off planets as they please there will still be people calling earth flat.
no there won't. Because they have never went to the moon, let alone "travel". That's why people even question nasa and so on, because of all the bs and incosistencies. If you talk about space travel, why don't we have a real camera on the moon filming the earth 24/7 raw, not that bs looping footage from the supposed "ISS" from youtube, i've seen video games put up a better reality than that.
@@SolarNeonFlare The amount of arguments you have here is astounding, you must really be into this. However, its also pretty pathetic, looking at your arguments. Here, you simply fully misunderstood the original argument, apparently. He said once we travel to space frequently, and with we i mean us, all of us, there will still be people like you. You replied that there wont, because... people won't travel. That doesn't make sense whatsoever, in his scenario "they" *do*, you cant change that and then call the scenario false.
@@SolarNeonFlareI don't, if i would, i would have believed you, or the guys you literally just believed for no apparent reason (yes, im callin' hypocrisy).

@@SolarNeonFlareThe reason we don't have a camera on the moon is that we did not put one when we went, there ( was not possible back then) and we did not go back. We will soon tho, the us wants to impress people again. How would you debunk the live iss footage? It does not loop and it is always accurate to the current location of the iss. I have seen the Iss orbit over my country with my own eyes. Like always, all talk no proof.
i think i saw this episode when i was like 12 or something and the jokes seemed weak to me back then, outside of "i don't wanna live on this planet anymore" gotta say, as an adult... the jokes are better, and painfully accurate to many people
That's how a lot of Futurama is to me, it was kinda funny to 12 year old me, but when I watch it now it's way funnier cuz I get most of the jokes. Most people think of "adult humor" as just sex jokes and innuendos, but it can also be stuff like this
"I don't want to live on this planet anymore" yeah neither do the rest of us but untill they perfect hyperspace travel the rest of us are stuck here with all the other nuts jobs.
Faster than light travel might never be a reality but at least there is mars and rest of solar system. That should put hundred of thousands kilometers between them and us.
Well, the missing link would exist, if it would be possible to have a fossil of every single generation. But because that is very improbable, due to fossilization being very rare, it's not possible to show a missing link. Or to say it in a different way. Take a picture of a kid every day until he is 40. Then show where he went from being a kid to being a teen on one single picture or from being a teen to being an adult ... That is the "missing link" problem creationists (or evolution deniers) don't understand. You can't show it, because it's not like a pokemon evolution.
"Just because we haven't found it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist". Farnsworth proving Dr Banjos point. "Things don't exist just because we say they do." Dr. Banjo proving Farnsworth's point. Absolutely wonderful writing.
That is another gem hidden in this, making fun of people legitimately pushing unfalsifiable beliefs as though they had any value whatsoever. In science, something that has been proven wrong is STILL more valuable than something that physically cannot be proven wrong no matter what, as at least you've learned something ;) if a hypothesis cannot be disproved, it is a worthless hypothesis
@Eitra Ardania I don;t want to get into a Creation VS Evolution debate here. I am not a Creationist fart all. But I wil say Creationists actually accept changes over Time. They call them Microevolution as ppoed to Macro and claim Species have a certain degree of Plasticity, but never change into new species. And the point I was really makings more about how Creationists aren't simple minded idiots and do form Evidence based arguments. I disagree with them, but its not really a fair portrayal of them to say they have no evidence at all. Jut "A book". Its nonsensical to pretend this is all there is to it.
@@Ironislander4302 I claim Creaturism is wrong, since it cannot be proven I am wrong, therefore, I am automatically right, and Creaturism is wrong. CHECK-MATE Dr. Banjo!
Creationists seem to have given up with the missing link. Instead, claiming living matter can’t come from non-living matter, which is a different theory, or mutations can’t create new abilities, despite it happening all the time in microbes.
If I had a dollar for every time I've thought or felt the same as the Professor at the end of this video; I'd be able to buy my own planet and go live on that.
I love how they even say "7000 years ago" because this takes place in the year 3000. I wonder if we still have to deal with people like this in a 1000 years.
Of course if there were anyone to be around in a trillion years, they would all be saying the universe is a trillion years old. They'd have to be mighty optimistic to still think Jesus was coming back at that point though.

You know what's funny? The episode made a parallel to how Fransworth created life exactly like banjo said in another world, causing a scientist from said world to repeat a cycle of ostracized genius creating life. Yet the joke still stands because of the contrivedness of such occurance
This episode made me sick Not because of the commentary or the jokes, which are funny as well and thought provoking, but for this scene: is just too real, too relatable and it made me remember how hard it is to respect an opinion that you know is based on something false and, sometimes, harmful
Vegetarian Soylent-Green Blah blah evolution actually is east coast elitism Blah blah this clip actually about how only two genders Blah blah libs are stupid Blah blah climate change not real Blah blah I want to kill my wife
I never got this episode when I first saw it, because I was around 11, now as an adult I'm thinking, What proof did Dr. Banjo have?! He just put Homo Farnsworth on a dinosaur and said that's all the proof he needed to disprove evolution, and everyone just believed him. Anybody can put anything with dinosaurs, like I could just put a Xenomorph with them and say it's fact. I don't need evidence, I could just say it happened that way. It wasn't fucking evidence, it was just a display of his opinion. Also I wondered why Dr. Farnsworth didn't want to live on earth anymore, now I think it was because his evidence proved evolution was real and people just automatically discredited it after the "evidence" of Dr. Banjo. I feel like he realized how fucking stupid everyone was and just gave up, and I don't blame him.
I know your comment is a year old, but I wanna point out that the homo Farnsworth on a dinosaur disproving evolution is a reference to the American evangelical church (or one of them) putting Jesus on a dinosaur. Because dinosaurs would have been before humans that would have rectified the whole "Earth is older than 5000 years" "problem" and yes. It's a real thing people believe, Google it. And Farnsworth saying he doesn't want to live on the planet is because he's frustrated at how hard work in science just gets misconstrued without ANY evidence and he can't change it by just introducing more evidence.
Jesus christ this comment section become what this episode tried to mock wtf... People stop regressing mentally, antivaxers, actual people who believea creationism, FLAT EARTHERS WTF GUYS
Robert Currie I hope the writers of R&M remember to keep consistent with Rick being also being a scientist rather than simply being a zany world traveller.
Dude, if this is the first you have seen of this, then you need to watch the full episode. And if you never watched Futurama before, trust me, you NEED to binge it. All of it. RIGHT NOW!
I love how I knew all of the first few "missing links" from my Intro to Anthropology class and that it's even more poignant because I learned about them in the INTRO class. As in, Banjo should have already known all of them 😭
@@matterasmachine okay? We're mostly referring to young earth Creationist. Like you can be christian and believe in evolution. But some people choose to differ
Christians: “So you don’t believe in Heaven?” Evolutionist: “Of course not lol” Christians: “So when you die you believe you actually die.” Evolutionist: “Yes” Christians: “How depressed are you?” Evolutionist: *”Very”*
What is the point in believing in scientific things if you’re not happy? So if your family member dies you’ll never see them again? You have anxiety constantly of the fear that you’ll die and everything you know will be over in a split second? I don’t care how much evidence they show what’s the point if you have nothing else to believe in? Why do y’all think depression is such a big issue today? Because there’s no point in living if you have nothing to live for.
Darwin faced a similar problem to the one depicted in this episode. Sir Richard Owen was a higher ranking member in their research group (I think it was the Royal Archeological society). Darwin had already formulated his theory and was using it to demonstrate the likely inheritance of the common morphological features between Humans and the other great apes leading back to a common ancestor which Darwin also predicted in accurate and precise detail. Owen rejected Evolution out of hand and would go to great lengths to discredit the theory, even as it gained overwhelming evidence and support. Owen was finally dismissed from his position amid numerous examples of fraud, deceit and plagiarism. He was the first in a long line of anti-evolution bunk peddlers that the theory would disprove and out last. A trend which has continued unbroken to this day.

@@jacebagley3025 Honestly, I think that just cements that Atheism is ridiculous. And I mean in the terms of how the particularly hostile Atheists (arguably the majority of them) insist that you don't need religion or such, and how it's all bull.
And yet here it is, one of their mockeries unironically becoming exactly what it was meant to mock. And quite frankly, I say the same about Atheism - it's a secular religion of vehemently and vitriolically opposing any (but especially Judeo-Christian) religion.
@@maxxor-overworldhero6730 Yea it would be great if atheist didn't exist. I mean, if only someone can PROVE their religion true with solid evidence instead of following stories that are thousands of years old.
@@UltraAnimaniac101 Just because Faith is involved doesn't mean that there isn't evidence.
For example, the only reason that we confirmed that the Hittites, King Nimrod, the Assyrian capital of Ninevah, Gath and various other named places all existed is because of Archeologists using the Bible for reference. Archeological digs have found evidence of a battle where David and Goliath fought. Expanding on the Tel Aviv airport's runways had construction workers stumble upon the remains of a gate to a Biblical city thought either lost or made up. And then you have records of the Romans officially talking about Jesus on a bureaucratic level.
There's even preserved records from Magi orders that show extremely strange astronomical phenomena near or right at the star Regulus of the constellation Leo, which gives credence to the story of the Magi, since not only in Astrology does that have a literal "King of Kings" symbology (Regulus is known as the "King Star", and Leo as a Lion held obvious ties to kinghood symbolically), but we know that Magi living during the Babylonian Exile interacted frequently with the Jews in exile, and they would have been as a result well-versed in the prophecies of Isaiah and such.
I ramble a bit, but my point is that even if you don't believe the supernatural stuff, there's so much that doesn't get talked about nearly as much as it should. And it's truly, truly fascinating.

I don't remember that...
@@devilmonkey427 "It's just a theory like gravity or the earth being round." Doctor banjo 3000ish
A theory in casual conversation is an idea, a theory in academia is a concept that has been established, peer reviewed, demonstrated as replicable (this can be mathematical or physical so long as the results can be achieved time and time again while obeying other established laws of physics, thermodynamics, etc), and confirmed as fact (which will inevitably be expanded upon and disproven, but is for now fact).

@@SweatierAcornthey already do, or drive anyway. Oil companies quite literally find oil using radiometric dating. But obviously radiometric dating doesn't work because it's contrary to the Bible. Good thing there's that one creationist oil company that doesn't use radiometric dating since it's bunk. Hmm, I wonder how much oil its prospectors find, or what its stock price looks like.
This is an example of "moving the goal posts."
We see it all the time from the Naturalist Evolutionist types when it is pointed out that it takes a greater leap of faith to believe the Universe, the specific values of the universal constants which dictate its Laws, and Life itself, are all one giant coincidence, rather than the deliberate and intentional creation of an intelligent mind who made it with purpose and focus.
So they move the goalposts to a position that is unscientific and can never be proven. The idea of a Multiverse.
All God has to do is to condescend (in the original and literal meaning of the word) and step down and show Himself in the flesh and bone and like any archaeological find you could then observe and measure Him. Whereas inanimate objects like separate universes cannot and never can be proven to exist, as part of the definition of being separate from our universe means they cannot be observed or measured, and thus are not a scientifically provable hypothesis.

@@user-bo1pz7fh5c Oh, and I was so happy there for a second.
The debate with Dr. Banjo was a spot on commentary on the way creationists, and other advocates of weak scientific ideas, shift the goalposts around when they start to fail
I think there’s no reason god and evolution can’t both exist
@@Koichi-Kun I agree. It seems arrogant to believe God could not have used evolution to create life.
@@Koichi-Kun The problem is people deny God because they think it makes them smarter. The reason goalposts shift is because Science is finite and changing and God is infinite and absolute. When you ask enough questions, evolution without creation is an impossibility. In reality, you could view the two as one in the same.
@@Koichi-Kun You can believe in some deist conception of God that created the universe and then went away, but Darwinian evolution pretty much precludes the idea of a personal god
@@Thrifty032781 Actually that's impossible. But only because evolution is the change in existing life, not the creation of it. Evolution needs life to be already present for it to happen.
The thing about this slideshow device is that the professor only presses a button to display the next species, which means all the images were already loaded onto the device. Dr. Banjo presents each step as a missing piece, yet the answer to his own question is on his own data drive.
Makes sense, actually. He was always unsurprised and ready to push the goal post further until the professor found the single missing link.
Mabey he was downloading images from the internet
Judging from the fact you can have ads inserted into your dreams, Farnsworth probably projected it there via his own thoughts.
This scene It's so good it reminds me of a debate I've seen on a podcast. The creationist brought several printed articles saying the data in there disproved the scientist point but the scientist knew those papers firsthand and they were actually going against what the creationist was saying. Funny thing the creationist was also a scientist.
When comedy is to accurate of a representation of reality.
Edit on 10 July 2023: Islam is not "especially bad". I was a fool who didn't understand that religion evolves with the culture that adopts it, that culture is held back by poverty, and that poverty is created by imperialism. History repeats itself, so if powerful nations such as the US stopped invading and economically dominating Islamic nations, then they would become more socially progressive. This can be proven by observing Islamic communities living in Christian societies.
Furthermore, there are plenty of other things I've said in this reply section that I no longer belief. I warn against assuming anything about my beliefs based off anything I wrote more than a year ago. I do however, still hold that the state of religious domination in the US is a depressing sight. I do not however, see religion is the single largest causer of modern society's problems.

And the conclusion of the episode, that robotic lifeform, although evolved originally came from a creator. Implying that the first organic life on earth could also came from a creator. That is the lesson of the whole episode if you watch it carefully.
I was hoping they'd show that part.
@@SystemUpdate310 BUNK!
We are not at all able to prove that life somehow spontaneously popped into existence from a non-living molecule. Hell, we can't even really get a complete picture of Earth's prehistory yet. Do we have evidence for evolution? Sure. But is evolution the only possible to answer to the questions of the origins of life? I'd say no. There is way too much that we do not yet know, and may never know. Does this mean I believe in God? Not necessarily.
You’d think the whole episode was making fun of creationism, but the punchline is that Farnsworth creates evolving robots that turn into a copy of human civilisation and don’t believe he (or anyone) created them.

No, that is the focus. That's why this entire scene exists, to highlight the lengths of work and evidence that go into proving evolution, and the kind of ignorant jackassery that creationist apologists come up with in response to it.

He just put Homo Farnsworth on a dinosaur and said that's all the proof he needed to disprove evolution, and everyone just believed him. Anybody can put anything with dinosaurs, like I could just put a Xenomorph with them and say it's fact. I don't need evidence, I could just say it happened that way. It wasn't fucking evidence, it was just a display of his opinion.
Also I wondered why Dr. Farnsworth didn't want to live on earth anymore, now I think it was because his evidence proved evolution was real and people just automatically discredited it after the "evidence" of Dr. Banjo. I feel like he realized how fucking stupid everyone was and just gave up, and I don't blame him.

Radicaldanny Again I was 11, I mostly ignored the science aspect and cared more about the humor
Uh...yeah bud....that's...the joke.....
I know your comment is a year old, but I wanna point out that the homo Farnsworth on a dinosaur disproving evolution is a reference to the American evangelical church (or one of them) putting Jesus on a dinosaur. Because dinosaurs would have been before humans that would have rectified the whole "Earth is older than 5000 years" "problem" and yes. It's a real thing people believe, Google it.
And Farnsworth saying he doesn't want to live on the planet is because he's frustrated at how hard work in science just gets misconstrued without ANY evidence and he can't change it by just introducing more evidence.

0:00 I need to know which year Scott the Woz starts the “nerd academy!”
Finally, someone else who's noticed that!
So the youtube recommendations finally tells me where this meme comes from.
Dude, if this is the first you have seen of this, then you need to watch the full episode.
And if you never watched Futurama before, trust me, you NEED to binge it. All of it. RIGHT NOW!
One of the best Futurama memes, besides Shut up and Take my Money.
This bit was way ahead of its time if we’re being honest
This has aged incredibly well.
0:01 *Holy fuck Scott the Woz*
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a reference to Steve Wozniak
💀💀💀💀💀💀
“Things don’t exist simply because you believe in them” 😂😂😂
Jesús in nutshell
@@randomnpc5777 Jesus was real. God has always been disputable though.
2:33 the "he's good" always gets me.
"I don't want to live on this planet anymore." had me laughing so hard.
I love how I knew all of the first few "missing links" from my Intro to Anthropology class and that it's even more poignant because I learned about them in the INTRO class. As in, Banjo should have already known all of them 😭

I like to waste my life arguing with creationists, and this clip really speaks to me.
evolution is creation. World is still being created. Why would god ever stop?
@@matterasmachine okay? We're mostly referring to young earth Creationist. Like you can be christian and believe in evolution. But some people choose to differ
@@VietReze if you really chose to differ then I can show real, testable god. Discrete machine. It’s testable and therefor scientific.
@@matterasmachine what?
@@VietReze machine. Creator of matrix. More details in my videos.
This is actually terrifyingly hilarious

By that point, why is he even trying...
Love how this scene explains how infinite evidence is not enough to convince some special folks
Nocturno common sense isn’t so common
They don't want to understand, they want to be right.
Yep
Christians: “So you don’t believe in Heaven?”
Evolutionist: “Of course not lol”
Christians: “So when you die you believe you actually die.”
Evolutionist: “Yes”
Christians: “How depressed are you?”
Evolutionist: *”Very”*
What is the point in believing in scientific things if you’re not happy? So if your family member dies you’ll never see them again? You have anxiety constantly of the fear that you’ll die and everything you know will be over in a split second? I don’t care how much evidence they show what’s the point if you have nothing else to believe in? Why do y’all think depression is such a big issue today? Because there’s no point in living if you have nothing to live for.
"Ho Ho! I have you now!"
That kills me every time. lol
literally every conversation with a conservative be like:
I’m a conservative, an atheist and I accept evolution as fact
@@Foxtrot-Nation good for you i guess
This joke wasn't ahead of its time.
It was exactly IN its time.

Darwin faced a similar problem to the one depicted in this episode. Sir Richard Owen was a higher ranking member in their research group (I think it was the Royal Archeological society). Darwin had already formulated his theory and was using it to demonstrate the likely inheritance of the common morphological features between Humans and the other great apes leading back to a common ancestor which Darwin also predicted in accurate and precise detail. Owen rejected Evolution out of hand and would go to great lengths to discredit the theory, even as it gained overwhelming evidence and support. Owen was finally dismissed from his position amid numerous examples of fraud, deceit and plagiarism. He was the first in a long line of anti-evolution bunk peddlers that the theory would disprove and out last. A trend which has continued unbroken to this day.
I love how the device conventielly has all the relevant pictures. Especially since Prof. Banjo brought it.
3:17 That's good material for a meme
