It's amazing to think that over the years that Ray bananaman Comfort has had evolution explained to him by some of the foremost evolutionary biologists living today. He still thinks that changing from one "kind" to another, and in real-time no less would be valid evidence of evolution.

I think the target audience is creationist morons so it's not surprising to see so many dumb statements in the space of a few minutes. I stopped watching after the first few conversations, it's not like he's come up with anything new.

If he understood how science worked he'd try to convince them by solving a biology problem on the assumption that the world is 6000 years old and Jesus is manipulating the DNA of different "kinds" of animals. Not by repeatedly asking biologists to show him a species branching off from one another within the space of 5 seconds.

And that biologists think dogs evolved before they had eyes. That male dogs evolved before female dogs, that they had male genitalia for all this time without females around and that suddenly female dogs evolved with matching genitalia. He then says it would be ridiculous to believe this and that therfore we shouldn't.



He's a dishonest piece of shit and I really wish people would catch on and tell him this, and that he should go fuck himself every time he tried to "interview" them.

"Mr Ray comfort, I refuse to be interviewed by a professional liar, please leave me alone."

This line should just be repeated. Never respond to anyting else he says with anything but that line.

He is feeding his audience what they want. It doesn't have to be good for them. In that regard he is the religious equivalent of the fast food industry. Fill your customers full of cheap addictive shit and keep them oscillating between happy stupor and self-loathing that can only be assuaged by another fix of the shit you sell.

I have just watched Part One that was quite interesting to say the least so here are my observations

Ray Comfort needs to understand that Evolution occurs over cosmic time and that it is therefore not
possible to give examples of it doing so in a human lifespan : Which is why he asks it of everyone he
Interviews : That does not invalidate it however : And her does not get to tell Nature how to operate

I am surprised that no one told him that insects : birds : fish : reptiles : mammals are all descended from
single cell self replicating bacteria that was the first lifeform from which everything subsequently evolved
So any transition from bacteria to plant and animal would have answered that question relating to change
of kind : His attempt to frame it with in a human life span is pure strawman though : But if he references
non observability as a reason not to accept Evolution then the same can apply to God too : The difference
is that Evolution has been falsified where as God has not : Though if he still wants some evidence then all
he has to do is just go look in the mirror : As all the proof he needs shall be staring right back at him now

I would like to see him ask his questions to Aron Ra : That would be interesting : I would pay money for that
Aron Ra would patiently listen to his strawmen then defeat them with logic and reason and quietly walk away

And his phrasing is wrong too : Though again pure strawman : One does not believe in Evolution : One accepts
it as a falsified theory in just the same way one accepts say Gravity or General Relativity or Electromagnetism
So those who said they believe in it were wrong : Because belief is for that which cannot be proven or falsified

It is extraordinarily easy to give examples of evolution occurring in less than a human lifetime. Such has been demonstrated time and time again.

Any bibliophile would know that.

You may have missed it but Ray would have dismissed it out of hand. He was asking for evidence of one "kind" becoming another "kind", either the definition of a "kind" is sufficiently vague to move the goalposts or the requirement is for something that would never happen under evolution.

He's looking for a strawman, one he has been corrected on by thousands of people. I'm wondering why his followers still buy this kind of argumentation. I doubt they're all as stupid as he is. Is it a communication problem? Do they not have access to the rebuttals of this nonsensical fluff?

Monkeys are "kind of like" baboons who are "kind of like" chimps who are "kind of like" gorillas. Horses are "kind of like" donkeys who are "kind of like" zebras. Cow are "kind of like" bison who are "kind of like" Cape buffalo. Humans are not "kind of like" anything else. Oh, and apparently bats are "kind of like" birds.

See? "Kinds" is easy.

Can we change the sub forum name to Cretinism ?:coffee:

I don't know why respected scientists even engage with him.

RC: My definition of evilution is a dog will give birth to a cat, or a bird will lay a crocodile egg, now show me the proof of my definition.

I see that the video has been removed for some reason
Maybe Ray has finally seen the light and so now accepts
scientific truth over metaphysical belief : Or maybe not

Very interesting.

ndeed. The crocoduck appeared in the twinkling of an eye. And is clear evidence of design, too.

And a hippopotamus is "kind of like" a whale, oh wait...

This is a public forum! Please show respect for your fellow species. Thanks

I show huge respect for chickens by repeatedly chopping their carcasses up and cooking extremely yummy curries with the flesh.

I think you mean evolution is falsifiable, ie if false it is possible to disprove it. If it had been falsified that would mean it had already been disproven.

As for "if he still wants some evidence then all he has to do is just go look in the mirror" this sounds uncomfortably like what Christians say about evidence for God, "it is all around you, all you have to do is look."
Meaningless statement by itself.

If the thinks evolution isn't observable, then he can fuck off next time he asks for a flu jab.

Stock answer would be that different flu strains are just variations within a kind, like different breeds of dog.
The goalposts will be moved to accommodate any logical response to that.
