What do you think? Peanut butter and evolution?

Question

Answer 1

By itself the peanut butter doesn't prove anything. However, they are attempting to illustrate the point that nobody has ever seen a living thing develop from non-living material and that is certainly a fact.

Answer 2

i think most posters have missed the point of it except Carnac. To focus on the peanut butter is to be distracted from their main point: 'we have performed millions of experiments and never found new life coming from energy and matter'. The Great Gazoo mentions the distinction between evolution and abiogenesis: I suspect most people aren't aware of that. I suspect your average non-religious type, having a vague sense from high school biology that evolution happens, would expect that eventually life would come from a jar of peanut butter if you went at it long enough.

The problem is not that this video is ridiculous; the problem is that science has all this knowledge ('abiogenesis is not evolution') but not a great ability to communicate it.

Answer 3

Isn't it obvious? Life only comes from design.

its SO OBVIOUS that you cannot even see it if you are brain washed.


DNA is a code. If you found 1000 computers on a beach you wouldnt say it just happened? DNA is more compliacted than that.

WHat evolutionists are saying is.. a tornado went through a junk yard and then produced 1000 houses.. and these houses were then able to replicate themselves exactly and improve the things they build even more.

Evolutionists ask us to have a lot of faith in a universe that can design the human brain.. dna.. and then make it SELF REPLICATING.

i have NEVER seen an evolutionist at least admit how increidibly amazing the self-replicating process of life is.

its CRAZY to say it was NOT DESIGNED.

that is lunacy.

its LESS crazy to say life evolves in a peanut jar.

evolutionists are deluded sci-fi writers.


Do i know how it all came about.. NO.. but dont shove this 'it just happened' crap down my throat.. get ORIGINS out of SCHOOLS>.. leave it in churches where it belongs.

Answer 4

See now the problem is the opened the peanut butter but not the jelly. I once opened a brand new vacuum sealed jar of grape jelly and what did I find? LIFE!

Fuzzy green life growing on my jelly.

The jelly obviously hadn't been sterlized properly. You can hardly compare a jar of peanut butter to the conditions life arises under though.

Answer 5

Even if what he said was correct...it doesn't disprove evolution. It disproves the fact that life can come from nothing, sort of. But it does not disprove the theory that animals evolve over time to form into new species.

That guy was funny=) I just saw the banana one, it's much funnier! Kirk Cameron rocks=) http://youtube.com/watch?v=9zwbhAXe5yk

Answer 6

Well, I don't know about that, but I do know that peanut butter is one of the ingredients in dynamite! I can only imiagine what the others are?

Answer 7

lol dude that video was funny. And sad, if the people speaking in it were serious.

The obvious glaring fact they omitted is that evolution is a function of time - demanding thousands/millions of years for significant change. I don't know anyone who has million-year old peanut butter in their kitchen (except my brother in law).

Answer 8

It never ceases to amaze me how these people who have obviously never spent a day in science class, think they are able to come up with clever little arguments to disprove thousands of scientists who have studied years on the subject! Totally ludicrous.

Answer 9

did anyone else want to see a comedy snake jump out of the peanut butter jar when he opened it?

Answer 10

To these people logic must be named "Houdini", because it clearly escapes them in a spectacular fashion. Never leave real science to an idiot. This is one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard in my life, and is clearly BS.
