An interesting video, wondering what people here think of it.

Conspiracy Road Trip: Creationism - YouTube

It is almost an hour, but I think you will find it entertaining enough.

Can you provide a brief synopsis? I don't want to get accidently brain washed or hypnotized into accepting evolution or something.

Scary isn't it?

Ok. BBC show. British comedian takes six young earth creationists on a bus trip through the south west United States. They meet with various scientists and see the evidence for evolution.

In your particular case MoF I recommend you don't watch it. It won't do you any good.

Thanks for sharing that. I recommend it to everyone.

I watched it all, noting that it slowed and got off topic for about 15 minutes around the 30 minute mark. What was interesting was the diversity of attitudes within the group, from ■■■■ who wasn't about to consider any of the evidence to ■■■■■■ who did.




Edited so as not to spoil the ending.

Oh, I get it, they were show natural selection. I might watch it anyway for a good laugh, sounds interesting.

I think it was a brilliant demonstration of human behavior.

Quite an interesting video! It really shows how different human attitudes can be towards science and evidence. No matter how much evidence that is presented, some people just wont even consider the possibility that they're wrong. It's only healthy to have a little doubt in your beliefs. I believe that it's even potentially dangerous not to question what you believe is true.

And some will admit that they are probably wrong... but that they have to ignore the evidence to justify their faith.

I'm not sure Dubliner Andrew Maxwell would thank you for that description.

That said, thanks for the link. Thoughtful and thought-provoking stuff.
