I'm guessing the daleks exterminated all the astronomer first for fear they figure out what was going on. Poor Patrick Moore :(

>I don't understand this argument at all... What the >argument is saying is that IF evolution EQUALS evil >THEN evolution EQUALS false... which is obsured!

you are quite correct it is not a logical argument but it doesn't act as a logical argument. It's an appeal to the heart

"please don't teach our kiddywinks this nasty evil idea - even if it is true".

So i see they're still arguing the evolution = hitler stuff on that vids comment section..

Is it only me that think eugenics matches ID theory rather better than evolution?

Yes it's a fatuous argument too but.. got to be worth throwing out there just to see if it sticks?

we should have at least an 'atheist handbook' summarizing the rebuttals of claims from Cretinist/IDiots or Biblical apologists so we can simply link to this instead of rephrasing all the time rebuttals to ignorant's like "why there are still monkeys" or "evolution without God contradict 2nd law of thermodynamics" etc.

'not plagiarism' :) wow you really do (or don't) see what you want to see (or not see).

I was just about to upload those 2 clips and simply ask the question:

expelled:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYAQmZu2FyY
XVIVO:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxSLw1LMvgk

Obviously the expelled vid is not simply a lift of the xvivo one.. it's been redone. But equally obviously it's been copied very closely (even the backgrounds and some of the artistic compositions are copied)

But I'm just curious.Has that been redone since the preview or was that footage there to begin with.

The xvivo vid is much more beautiful also.
