The anti-evolutionists will use any opportunity to attack evolution to advance intelligent design. If the jar is opened too long, life will evolve - bacteria, yeasts, etc
actually, live wont evolve if the jar is opened too long, if that was what you were saying. Different organisms and whatnot in the air will colonize the peanut butter, but that's not new life 'evolving' on the peanut butter.
Evolution doesn't claim to know how life began, but it's theorized that it started with chemical reactions complicating to the point of approaching something like rna, which coded for other reactions to follow, leading up to biochemistry complex enough to make simple cells. Really, evolution is conceptually compatible with the idea of an outside power making a universe that would lend itself to chemistry working in such a way that could lead to life - that's a matter of faith or guessing or whatever you want to call it.
It is hard to find life in the universe, even more hard to find intelligent life...
Apart from 100 years meaning nothing on the scale of evolution he fails to prove that there is not actually new life in the jar, you could not be sure unless you sort though all that stuff with an electron microscope. But most likely he believes that bacteria and viruses are just a scam made up by the heretics.
People like this make me think humanity deserves extinction.
This clip pertains more to the origins of life than evolution, which is an explanation of how life changes. Also, for life to originate in the way most biologists agree it did, certain types of matter are necessary, and they must be exposed to lots of energy while in a solution.
As laz has brought up, even 100 billion "experiments" each year for tens of thousands of years, even under ideal circumstances, will most likely not yield life.
How do I keep my religious beliefs safe from question? Exclude them from the rules of logic.
Evolution can be disproved. It makes many predictions about when various forms of life began, and evidence contrary to those predictions can challenge the theory's credibility. Other ways of explaining the changing or origins of life make no predictions. They are not science and exclude themselves from the rule of proof and disproof.
The narrator states “Evolution teaches that energy, such as lightening or heat, plus matter can, occasionally, create new life”
So, to use his own words - to create a scientific experiment that he is discussing would require that intense heat, such as lightening, would be required to strike many jars of peanut butter over a long period of time. Light being disbursed from a fluorescent tube 6 to 8 feet overhead in a grocery store does not emit the same amount of energy as a lightening bolt. You can Google and find the following facts:
"The air near a lightning strike is heated to 50,000 degrees F hotter than the surface of the sun!"
The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000°C (11,000°F).
Does the ‘teacher’ of the PB experiment explain any of this?
Should one expect the same results from a light bulb as a lightening bolt?
I’m not saying that if you put out 4 billion jars of PB (chunky or smooth) and hit them with lightening bolts that a new life form will appear… but it might. But, we will never know
Of course you could take it on faith that it won’t. Then you can believe it without ever having seen it because some guy who got a AA degree in divinity from a southern bible college knows more about this subject than a guy with a PhD from an accredited university who actually does study the subject.
I use to believe in Santa, the tooth fairy and the easter bunny.
So, should I believe in a guy who can walk on water, change ordinary drinking water into an award winning Chardonnay, turn 2 fish into hundreds, or in a bush that’s on fire but won’t burn, a flood that covered the entire planets surface for over 100 days, and then disappeared, in order to kill all of mankind because they upset their creator who loves them so much that he sent his son to earth born from a women who never had human semen in her and then had his son killed in order to come back to life in order to leave in order to return just because some dude opened an can of PB and didn’t find an alien in it?
Where does one stop believing is fairy tales and start using the brain that they were born with?
Despite the fact that I disagree with you I find what you said very funny. I suppose you can make anything sound foolish if you apply the right connotation to it. :p
god doesn't exsist,religion is based in lies to keep people content with the fact their life means nothing
it sounds very emo but get over it,its true
also the bible promotes incest,and this "loving forgiving god" only seems to love white people who are strieght and discriminate vs others?
even if god did exsist I'd choose not to worship him for how merciless and evil he would be.
Well, this friggin' idiot sure proved his point. In other words, his level of "intelligence" (if it can be referred to as intelligence at all) has NOT evolved one iota! Sheesh! What idiocy! And this fellow not only votes, he breeds, which is scary as hell to me. Plus, he'll turn violent in a split second if you disagree with him.
People.........be smart. Don't try to shut down the creationists. We need these idiots as a bulwark against islamofascists. As long as those two groups expend their energies spouting their nonsense they somewhat offset each other. Logic will NOT defeat them. In the long run the world will simply pass them by and they will cease to exist.
Life will never evolve from peanut butter, nothing even remotely similar was ever uttered in any of the evolution theory books, too bad the people that try to disprove evolution can't read. Organic material can be produced from inorganic material, as proven in an experiment by S. Miller (1953) when he created amino acids from CH4, H2 and NH3 by adding electricity, heat and steam.
I don't know about you but in my country this is studied in first grade of high school(ninth grade to you, I believe). This video would be the equal of me trying to disprove the existence of airplanes(even though I see them every day) simply because I don't understand the principles of the internal combustion motor and am to lazy to find a book about them. -Nefarius, your nickname in Latin translates to godless and wicked, not at all in sync with your strong Christian beliefs. ps. Latin nicknames are only cool to people who don't speak Latin.
What are the odds of somebody finding God in a sealed container of Peanut Butter. I think he and his followers should begin the search for the Holy Grail of PB.
these guys clearly don't know the difference between evolution - small changes that take placethroughout generations of a species, and spontaneous genreation - the process of life rising from non-life, WHICH WAS SCIENTIFICALLY DISPROVEN LONG AGO. plain and simple: these people are lying
