- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -10/+96I think this screenshot from the video pretty much sums it all up ---

*goes to freezing chamber* - ejfisher, on 10/12/2007, -15/+61I am a christian, and this still disgusts me. Christians are supposed to have humility, and love others. It's not loving to others to not even allow room for debate.
I'll teach my Daughter to love God, but not to hate other people.
It's a shame that stupid christians give the intelligent ones a bad name. Believing in God used to take as much intellect as believing in Evolution.
These days you aren't an american if you don't fall in line. - underdog138, on 10/12/2007, -13/+55@ bwolfson
I definitely won't. The cycle stops for me when I have kids. The entire premise is simply ignorant. The worst part of this video is watching the children in the audience stare at the speaker with such interest and awe, soaking up the propaganda like sponges.
You see a lot of kids grow up to be worthless adults, but you rarely see the exact moment when their lives take a turn for the worst. Well, that was it. - TheKillDoctor, on 10/12/2007, -5/+46One summer day the sounds of kids playing in my front yard suddenly became quite. Since one of these children was my 5 yr old son being a good parent I went to investigate. What did I see but a 50 something man have 5 neighborhood kids all gathered around him handing out little books. I calmly walked up to him to see what was going on, my son waves a mini comic book saying,'Look dad see!'.
That miniature comic book described the same ideas as this digged movie. I was shocked at first and then became really ***** angry. I kept my cool in front of the kids. Calmly told the man to leave then whispered in his ear, 'Don't EVER come around here again'.
True story and now my blood pressure up from retelling it. - deuceswilde, on 10/12/2007, -19/+57"Someone unfreeze me 1,000 years when these idiots and their views have died out."
Wait, a thousand years to us, or a thousand "creationist" years. - deadlogic, on 10/12/2007, -7/+43when the christian said "i dont think you've looked into all the facts," i broke into laughter.
- bwolfson, on 10/12/2007, -13/+49I can't believe that some parents would do this to their children.
- econoar, on 10/12/2007, -3/+37wtf...?
- hambend, on 10/12/2007, -10/+42"God said it. I believe it. That settles it!"
"Bush said it. I believe it. That settles it!"
"Fox said it. I believe it. That settles it!"
To me, teaching people to blindly believe in the voice of authority is a terrible, terrible idea. I'm not sure this brand of Christianity is compatible with democracy. - reddevil3, on 10/12/2007, -5/+36This made the front page 13 days ago (don't worry, I'm not the dupe police), but the rabid neocons quickly buried it.

My favorite part: "I want to win a Nobel prize."
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH - Emery, on 10/12/2007, -13/+44its unbelievably scary to see small children indoctrinated like that
- bennnno, on 10/12/2007, -6/+33Where is the science? I always see them saying science has got it wrong but i never see them show any real research.
- ajb2015, on 10/12/2007, -11/+36If you guys liked this....go rent "Jesus Camp," it will scare the ***** out of you.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+29I love how everything is a WAR to fundamentalist christians. Hmm, who does that remind you of? Reminds of me of fundamentalist muslims.
- NtHammer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26i think the emo kid before her was funnier, lol @ creation science
- beasty_dave_Mk2, on 10/12/2007, -16/+39that physically made me wanna puke. That's so wrong it should be criminal.
- imightbewrong, on 10/12/2007, -6/+28i think digg should add a few more sections
1. pictures
2. Christian bashing
3. "South" bashing - wqwert, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Exactly. Seeing that video really made me understand how a culture can be hijacked to believe the most ridiculous beliefs. How many of you have tried to understand things like the violence of WWII? We always say to ourselves "I would have never done that!"
But then I look at those little kids. That could have been me or you. They are just as smart, just as capable. That's scary. - qwertycopter, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20Anyone know what this is from?
- smojo12, on 10/12/2007, -9/+24I hate how the word believe is thrown around so much. These kids don't believe in anything. They are brainwashed from birth to "believe".
- Cameleopard, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19I'm not at all surprised by this tripe. I was forced to go to a Christian private school during my K-12 years, and part of the "science" curriculum was ***** about the sky being pink until the Flood because of a protective ice shield that floated around the Earth. The pink sky caused man's neural connections to degrade much slower than today, and hence people lived to be hundreds of years old. There was no rain; see, plant life was sustained solely by dew. Also, of course, there were dinosaurs around. I kid you not, this is of what my "science" curriculum consisted. (And the Literature requirements were met by making us read endless, boring and stupid-as-hell missionary accounts. One book came with a disclaimer warning of the oh-so controversial content of Abraham Lincoln playing cards and, gasp, dancing!) Luckily, I tore through my work quickly and was able to spend the rest of each day reading books with factual information from the library.
In case you're wondering what educational system to avoid, it was A.C.E. - YoshoKatana, on 10/12/2007, -11/+26I can't respect moderate Christians, because they cause this to happen. They keep saying "respect our beliefs", but then I'd have to respect the beliefs of these people in the video. I hold NO RESPECT for them, and no sane person should.
- reddevil3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14It does affect you. Why? Because these people vote.
- NikoKun, on 10/12/2007, -5/+18Its not wrong to "Believe" in something... but you can't substitute something with no real proof, for science...
Its even worse to be telling all those young children to never trust science... Science is what got us here, its what put clothes on our backs... its what gave that ***** a microphone... and the lights in that room... and our computers and pretty much EVERYTHING we have.
Evolution is a science, a proven fact.. the Bible is a moral system/code, its a belief system to give us faith, and through stories it teaches decent morals (although not all are good morals)... Creationism really is just a horribly ignorant way to say science isn't real... they want to lower science to the level of a religion... and thats just rediculious... one can have science and believe in religion at the same time, there is no problem with that.
On the other hand... if you MUST try to tie science with religion... then believe in Divine Intervention... Evolution is real and happened, but god was the one helping it, and directing it. That makes scence, and neither topic tries to disprove the other in that scenario.
As for me, Science in my life, doesn't touch my faith, and my faith doesn't touch science... I also don't let faith get so into my life that it changes how I live. I have my own religion, unique to my self and my life...
But whatever... these people are just controlling sickos... forcing their beliefs on kids, not giving them a choice... that in itself should be a crime or a sin... xD - joeshlub, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16I saw that shot in the video and just shook my head... Evolution isn't a theory. It's a fact. The only thing in question is evolution _through natural selection._ Evolution itself has been demonstrated in many closed environments. In fact, every dog breeder in the world is implementing evolution, only evolution through human selection, traits undesirable in dogs are eliminated and desirable ones are played up on. It's pretty damn straight foward.
- carbonetc, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17My favorite part is the interview of the lady who says, "Most christians are viewed as ignorant because we believe in the bible," and then proceeds to be ignorant.
- septicmadman, on 10/12/2007, -6/+18To use the same logic as they did in this video:
You digg me up because I told you so, and since I told you so you will - RG13, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14But, but...
"its just easier"
* sigh *.... does easier always mean better boys and girls? - bysin, on 10/12/2007, -8/+18They are brainwashing children.
- cybersaint2k, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13There is a difference between questioning science (when science=truth) and the often-empty presuppositions of some modern scientists.
Sadly, this organization (Answers in Genesis) once slandered a fellow I worked for (a well-known Evangelical) and when we called them and talk to them about their lies about my boss, their response was, "You deserve it for not denying any position other than a literal 6 day creation and young-earth creationism." They stood by their lies as a means of forcing our organization to condemn everyone who didn't hold their position.
These people are not only wrong, but they showed me that day, while I was speaking to their leadership over the phone for an hour, that they were not people of character. - igraham09, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Ugh... makes me want to get back to reading "The Origin of Species"
- CDRutledge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9What a second, why doesn't the bible say anything about Super Novae, Nebulae, Star Clusters, or other Galaxy's. Many of these things are ten's of thousands of light years away, some being in the 100 millions. Does that mean none of these things really exist, and were put there by God to test our faith? WAIT! I got it, humans had no concept of these things when they wrote the Bible, therefore they did not mention them!
- terrachronos, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12What a load of *****.
I get a real kick out of the "science" they use to justify their misguided belief that the earth is only a few thousand years old.
These idiots wouldn't know real science if it walked up and kicked them in the teeth.
This is typical religeous *****. The fact that parents actually take their kids to this hokey brainwashing session proves that their arguement is weak. If they let the kids grow up and form opinions on their own they'd tell mom and dad to get BENT! - carbonetc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9That's the precise difference between fundamentalists and scientists.
For a scientist, conflicting information is a blessing. For a fundamentalist, conflicting information is an attack.
For some reason they just don't get that processing more and more and more information can only improve one's perspective, discernment, and understanding. The people who've had the least exposure to information are the people most susceptible to being infected by a fraudulent idea. - Holosiren, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Heatdeath. Only the truest morons here believe evolution is beyond reproach; no one minds pragmatic criticism of evolution. However, the bible creationist myth is completely unscientific dogma. It's an illogical approach, and doesn't deserve serious consideration. When creationists begin using the scientific method, then they'll gain some credence.
As of now, they're just brainwashed idiots. It's not a matter of me misunderstanding their point of view. It's a matter of them basing their opinions on implausible, unprovable conjecture and demanding equal representation in our nation's "science" classes.
In a secular arena, "intelligent design" has no footing. Believe whatever you want in other arenas, but don't accuse us of bias for calling crows black. - kd1s, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7That's because there really is no difference between fundamental Christian and fundamental Muslims. They're both ***** crazy and determined to rule the world. The key difference is that the Christian fundamentalists want to wind the clock back by about fifty years, whereas the Muslim fundamentalists want to wind it back by about 500 years.
- fearofcorners, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Please, take the high road. By calling extreme creationists retards or whatever you're doing precisely what they're doing. You should respect the freedom others have to hold views different from yours.
- CyberBlade, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Please Elaborate :)
- smackhero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8dude, i thought i was the only one...
- NSMike, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Dude, that's SOME ad-blocker. I wish mine could detect proselytizing.
- arion, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I just saw this last night on HBO, but couldn't remember the name. A quick Google reminds me--HBO: Friends of God: A Road Trip With Alexandra Pelosi.
- jsleno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6That's the power of religion. More accurately, that's the power of human belief.
No matter how much proof is presented, if you truly believe that 2+3=4, nothing will change your mind.
Logic merely has the power to prove. Human belief has the power to disregard, shun, oppress, torture, murder, and even alter reality. - TheWiredNerv, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I want to be a biochemist and disprove evolution in the creationist science labratories and win a nobel prize in creationism. hahaha. He should stick to making a stereotypical christian hardcore band.
- mille716, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7well is this "ignorant" mr. anti-christian?!
http://images.tribe.net/tribe/upload/photo/fee/a04/feea0493-1086-43ea-9b57-ee0c43ece9ba.large-profile.jpg - Poco, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6< Public education: "it's normal for johnney to have two dads"
How is that being narrow minded? To say that something is "normal" when others might not think so is being open minded.
< Public education: "killing a fetus is a choice"
You use the word "choice" when trying to describe something that is narrow minded? Lets take that to the extreme. You ever jack off? You were killing billions of potential babies.
< Public education: "evolution is fact despite lack of a complete fossil record"
Who said that it was fact? Evolution is a theory - not a hope or a belief - but a theory, look it up. The difference between creationists and scientists is that scientists will say that nothing is an absolute fact and are open to any possibilities. It is the creationist that will not even consider an alternate opinion or theory. They assume fact when there is no such thing.
< Public education: "religious people are bad, especially those Christians"
Who said that religious people are bad? Some, like you, are a bit ignorant and narrow minded maybe, but not bad. Some are very nice people. - Stevethegreat, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Gross, they're just kids for *****'s sake ...
- CDRutledge, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Questioning the Theory of Evolution is much like questioning the Theory of Gravity. Both Evolution and Gravity are fact, while Newton's equations or Darwin's Natural Selection are a different story. The former is the process which we have observed using the scientific method, while the latter is our attempt to explain those phenomena.
- Cam_86, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8@J4320
Yeah, when i saw that, i ALMOST thought this was satire... but then it kept going, and got progressively more clear as to how ignorant these people are.
Maybe if there were actual arguments other then "this 2000 year old book says so", there might be a bigger push to put creationism into public schools. As it is though, the ONLY people who seem to still hold onto this idea, are Americans from the southern states, and some mid-western states... You don't see any Canadian, German, french, British, etc.... communities fighting there governments to re-create there schools curriculum to include 'god did it'. If they did though, i bet it would be a cinch to get through school. Course that would be unfair to the children, as it isn't preparing them for a globalized economy where the best people get the job. And if your thought process involves thanking jesus for making Dino-bones to fool the non-believers, SOMETHING tells me you are gonna get passed up when people from Canada, Japan, the northern states, etc... are all trying to get that same job. -
