"So let me get this straight:
In the beginning, the world was a giant vat of peanut butter, sealed air-tight in a protective jar to ensure no life could grow. It was then shipped around, exposed to very little temperature change, and had an expiry date printed on the side, because after a certain date, things might actually start growing in it. And since Earth was used before it went past its expiry date, no life grew. So since this didn't happen, evolution is false. I had no idea!
Have I missed something here? Has the delicious, creamy and jam-covered world gone ***** mad?" - stupidverizon, on 10/12/2007, -4/+60Dugg for ridiculousness.
What makes me laugh even more is how these ignorant close-minded morons act smart and well-researched. - pahoehoe, on 10/12/2007, -5/+52The theory of evolution doesn't explain how life got started, only how life changes once it is started. If you are interested in how life got started, look up abiogenesis - the study of the origination of living organisms from lifeless matter. There is much work to be done in this field. Studying something that took place billions of years ago is not easy. However, I think we will find good answers someday, and these answers will be much better than "God did it".
- draebor, on 10/12/2007, -3/+50If God wanted creationists to win arguments he would have given them brains.
- NeoCortex, on 10/12/2007, -2/+48So he's comparing a pool of primordial chemicals/amino acids and electrical storms to peanut butter left out too long? Plus, peanut butter already is organic. I really don't even know where to begin arguing with this, except to say:
Oh. My. Science. - bysin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+413) Profit
- HalFTW, on 10/12/2007, -1/+38These people don't even know what evolution is.
"Evolution teaches that energy, such as lightening or heat plus matter can occasionally create new life"
Evolution says nothing about the creation of life, evolution is about the evolution of life once it exists.
The initial creation of life is a completely separate process, which is likely to be an almost unimaginably rare occurrence, as life only has to be initially created once. After life has started in some form, evolution takes care of the rest.
I shouldn’t have to say it, but the idiots on the video obviously didn’t get it. Even if life was created in a jar of peanut butter, it would be in the form of something far too small to see, and would do nothing visible. Even the mould they show is the result of millions of years of evolution. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+38I hate the fact that people like that person try to explain something that is so over their head.....stupid people.
- greatblackowl, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31I do:
1) Leave the peanut butter out (completely sealed) for a billion years.
2) New life - Valerfore, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31This is so full of bull that I don't even know how to start countering it!
- unfinite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29I thought it was going to be a joke. Like, when he opens the jar, to show that life hasn't grown in it, something jumps out and latches on to his face.
Oh well. - maggot4life, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25Are they freaking kidding? The food industry depends on evolution not existing? WTF??!
- manopleta, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!!!
- FiP0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24We were making fun of "creationists", not all Christians
Yes, this a video of people saying stupid things, it's not an insult to YOU, it's digg. - Adune0Warrior, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22I guess they are going to use bread next as and atheist worst nightmare then they could make a peanut butter and banana sandwich mmmmm YUMMY!
- FiP0, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22I guess he means that the food industry depends on little critters not appearing inside cans...
Strawman argument of the year. - ForebodenOdin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22I hate people like this. People like this are so self-righteous and focused on self-importance. These people believe that humans are the chosen ones. That is so selfish, and because of this they believe they are only on the planet for a certain amount of time until their lord comes again. Therefore, they can use up all the resources that were supposedly given to them through a divine power. Isn't life that came to be through evolution beautiful enough, for them? Obviously they don't get we are but a spec in the universe among other intelligent life.
- cheez, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urey-Miller_experiment
there.
the urey-miller experiment proved that all the amino acids, some lipids and proteins could be synthesised from inorganic stuff. with a *****-load of uv rays (from the sun, when there wasn't an ozone layer) and a *****-load of time (think 1.5 bn years) life would come from this. too bad we have an ozone layer and we aren't going to be alive for 1.5 bn years. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17This makes me laugh, yet at the same time its just so very sad...

Will Peanut Butter Spoil?
Peanut butter will not spoil like a perishable food, but because of its high oil content, it may develop
rancidity during storage.
How Safe Is Peanut Butter?
Peanut butter can be safely stored without refrigeration because it contains less than 1% moisture. It cannot
support the growth of bacteria or even drought-tolerant molds. - drouk1556, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Wait, you guys don't ever open jars of peanut butter to find that its not a tasty sandwich topping, but rather a new lifeform?
Because that happens to me all the time. Keep your receipts, most stores have a return policy for evolved Skippy. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14after i eat peanut butter the next day i create something
- kivimaki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I want someone with video editing skills to take that and edit it so something comes out of the peanut butter and eats the guy's face when he opens it.
- W00DR0W, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Why do these Christians always try to scare you with death. "The entire food industry depends on their being no new life"
What's laughable thing is that we don't even need evolution to prove Humans have existed and evolved for millions of years, DNA evidence proves it. - directedition, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Of course it depends on evolution being false. If every time you opened a jar of peanut butter and badger or pirana plopped out, the industry would be in disarray. Could you imagine the warming labels?
- itsme7g, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Maybe there is new life in one of those billions of peanut jars... and someone ate it.
- themastersb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Opening the jar of peanut butter and not seeing life proves creationism? WTF? Is that guy on crack? You have to expose the peanut butter to thousands if not millions of years worth of lightning and stuff. Sheesh.
- GeneralFailure0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11The funniest part is he doesn't prove there isn't life in the peanut butter. It could be at the bottom...
- MrSadFace, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I love how she was standing in a courtroom type place... really set the mood... Effing Idiot.
- rjam710, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Stupid is always funny.
I'm a Christian, and maybe even a "Creationist" depending on your definition of it, but I found that video pretty funny. You just have to realize that most people here are intelligent enough to know that not all Christians are ignorant, close minded lunatics. I hope. - CraigJ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13people who put faith above science are morons. Unfortunately the morons outnumber the smart people by a huge margin.
- oxdeltaxo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12The two words which come to mind when watching this are "Brainwashed Ignorance."
- BlackCow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Right because the earth in its early stages was like a jar of peanut butter exposed to little water, little heat, processing, and a little amount of time. Oh wait no, it was a LOT of ***** water, a LOT of ***** heat and energy, and a LOT of ***** time. This is *****! idocracy! It boils my agnostic blood. Why can't people accept that they could possibly be wrong.
- wafflez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9i hate that smug, arrogant laugh he breaks into while talking about the scientists >_>
- poedguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9So am I to expect they got a microscope and examined a peanut butter jar for any single cell organisms? It may very well create new life, but the problem is, that "new" life probably already exists as bacteria and other types of single cell organisms.
- haveacigar, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11I believe that if you leave peanut butter 1.5 billion years some kind of mold would grow...
- NOFXY, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Best Comment on there:
"With respect to Ray Comfort's banana example: Could one not also argue that a cucumber is the perfect shape to be inserted into a vagina or rectum? Using deductive logic it is safe to assume God is surely a pervert!" - fuzzmeister, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Thats so amazingly insane it might actually make sense! Oh wait, nope.
- BESTenemy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11 I'll use the same argument against the speaker. Remember the clock argument that in all its compexity it couldn't have come into existence unless it was designed?
Well, the reason there is no life in a peanut butter jar is cause it has been designed (manufactured). Things that are "intelligently designed" bear no life. Things that simly exists do. If Earth was like a peanut butter jar, there'd be no life. The fact that there is life proves it hasn't been designed by anyone.
How's that for a rebattle? - Mongoose, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coacervate
- N080dy, on 10/12/2007, -8/+153)????????????????
- Gregus1032, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Lifespan of peanut butter = 2-3 weeks (considering rate of consumption)
Evolution happens over millions of years...
clearly those "billions of experiments" factored that in. - nick111, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Nah - it's just that it's easier to organise stupid people than it is to organise smart ones.
This is why fascists always attack intellectuals. This is why religious groups are such a powerful political force. This is why religious leaders attack intellectuals, science, free-thinking and intelligence generally.
There aren't more stupid people than smart ones - it's just that the stupid ones tend to coagulate - makes them look bigger than they really are. - Drgn547, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6As an atheist, this only makes me happier that I chose this path... and makes me want a peanut butter sandwich
- NikoKun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6plus it takes a LONG time to form life from simple matter...
You have to have the right matter, the right energies, and a long time... to even start to form life... not to mention the millions of years it takes for evolution to do anything. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I thought a springy snake would jump out of it
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I'm speechless.
Damn you Dawkins! Lying to me all this time!
IF ONLY I KNEW ABOUT PEANUT BUTTER! - iamdan1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Well, to start off with if it wasn't for evolution and natural selection there wouldn't be Peanut butter. Our food industry is built on selective breeding, done by Humans, not by God. Most of the food we eat is not even close to what its natural state is due to Human Intervention.
- darkliquid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Peanuts are organic in nature.... and the "primordial soup" wasn't smooth.. it was chunky.
- myFriendDerrik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Funny, what you create is the same thing as this man's argument against evolution.
