Let’s go over this again. Just because the creationists say that believing in evolution leads to holding black people in zoo cages, does not mean that is an argument against the facts of evolution. It is simply a statement about how bigoted people will manipulate anything to harm the people they hate.

Evolution is the name we gave the process that causes diversity in life. That’s it. The Big Bang is totally separate, the beginning of life is another thing completely, and the theory of evolution is simply our best understanding of the evidence of evolution. There’s nothing to believe in, it just is. Can some of it be wrong? Sure. But that just means there is a better explanation coming with new evidence. It does not mean the creation story is suddenly right if a tiny aspect of the theory of evolution is found to be in error. There’s nothing at all that supports the creationist story. The Bible is the claim not the evidence, btw.

Eric conveniently omitted the fact that racism against Black people, and all the myriad of ways used to dehumanize them has existed long before the theory of evolution was a glimmer in Darwin’s eye. What’s his explanation as to what motivated people to be racist against them before Darwin came along? He’d never admit that the very Bible he reads was used to justify enslaving, brutalizing, and oppressing Black people.

Are you telling me that the Roman slave-state was not justified and based on Darwin's hypotheses?? Next, you are telling me that the African immigrants in 1619 didn't come to America on their own free will, looking for employment opportunities, free housing and sustenance!

All of Creationism has White Supremacy written all over it one way or another. The delusional version of the Ota Benga story creationists like to parade around in their drivels is one of them.

Marjorie Traitor Greene, the anti-vaxx loon who claims she hasn't been jabbed and is beet red with hysteria over what she calls "Vaccine Nazis" has been revealed to own stock in Pfizer, J&J and AstraZeneca.

I'd like to believe that she's being honest when she says she's not been vaccinated and won't be (means we'd be rid of her soon), but the fact that she owns stock in not one but three different vaccine-making companies causes me to doubt her veracity even more than I normally do.

I was once looking for a new investment advisor-type person, and had a meeting with a guy who pulled out one of those professionally managed portfolios that would be 'perfect' for me. It had something like ten different companies on it, and he started his painfully enthusiastic sales pitch at the top of the list. He was about six words in when I snapped, "No fucking way," pointed at Philip Morris, which was further down the list, and informed him that I'd stuff my money in my mattress before I'd invest it in Evil Incarnate.

He looked like a deer in the headlights. I don't think anyone had ever interrupted his schpiel before. And he had no idea how to handle my refusal of his number one plan. His co-worker, who was also his trainee, was the one to suggest one of their Green funds as an alternative.

Giant plot hole! Spoiler alert!!

"Hovind plays a security guard who somehow gets a job at the Creation Museum without knowing what they believe or what he’s guarding."

The security guard would have had to sign a "statement of faith" before getting the job.

The brainstorming sessions for Christian movies have to be absolutely snore-inducing, considering that the end result is always either a lame copy of an existing movie, or a paint-by-numbers rehash of every atheist conversion trope ever.

"Hey, did any of you guys see (insert movie here)?"

"That was the one with (insert actor here), right?"

"Yeah. We're gonna do that, but with more Jesus. Bob, you got the checklist?"

"Sure thing. Feels like we need to shake things up a bit, though. Any ideas?"

"Ideas? What do you mean?"

"Oh, right right. What was I thinking, we don't do those here."

Also, I feel obliged to point out that Eric Hovind makes an even less convincing atheist than Kevin Sorbo. It's actually a little impressive that anyone managed that.

Yet another example of Christians stealing from others because they're too intellectually blinkered to come up with their own ideas.

Even "God's Not Dead" is a ripoff of a Jack Chick tract. Bad enough these ghouls show they think nothing of taking not just secular things, but also taking things from one another in a sort of cinematic incest.

Yeah, I’ve long noticed just how unoriginal these people are, so they have to steal ideas from others.
