Debunking Evolution: What Every Christian Student Should Know

First off the humor in this film is really cringeworthy to say the least. Debunking Evolution is not a film looking for actual truth but its just religious propaganda that really does not prove anything. It does not want to think for ones self its a film that wants you to think the way of the filmmakers religion.

Not only is the acting insufferable, every single claim made here and presented as 'fact', are just badly researched, deliberately misrepresented ridiculous nonsense unsupported by evidence or data, solely made for the purpose of validating superstition and blind belief in the Christian faith. The damage that garbage like this will cause to future generations will be long lasting.

The sad part is this is the only type of information some people get exposed to. Sure, the jokes are bad, and the acting is amateurish, and the script is lacking, but the big problem is that its highly inaccurate and dishonest. I.

Lets say if all evidence for evolution were throw out the window, they still have no evidence for a creator. The thought process in these videos is how do you know there is a god? Because the bible tells us so. How do we know the bible was is real? Because god tells us in the bible.

All I can tell you is do your research, understand Science gets better with more technology and evidence. If you really want to watch this video, then I woudl suggest you look up Forrest Valkai on Youtube and watch it along with him. He will point out where they are incorrect and help you understand evolution.

As always, John and Jane sit down with their textbooks. Immediately, they show their inability to understand high school science, which is laid out clearly (with illustrations) in their books, and they pervert the words of the lesson, with their murky vocabulary, to drag everything back to biblical Genesis. It's safe there, because confusing topics can easily be swept away with the statement that God made it all (including the confusion, but they don't notice that).

Their lack of comprehension is laughable. For example, Jane says of Darwin's finches: "This isn't evolution by natural forces if these animals were programmed to adapt like that." In fact, Jane, the finches and their famous beaks, which show a remarkable diversity in shapes and sizes, are a classic example of adaptive radiation -- a process in evolution, you willfully ignorant girl. And what's this programming of which you speak? You're sneaking in a bit of the Argument from Design (the teleological fallacy) to suggest that your god is a computer programmer?

John says that "some pre-programmed variation helps animals adapt through genetic recombining," by which he might have meant genetic drift... or perhaps he meant the epigenetical changes which affect the regulation of gene expression. He thinks that mutations "always cause loss of information in the genetic code," which is ridiculous and false.

John also talks about mosquitoes with "too many enzymes," allowing them to build resistance to pesticides, a situation which is "messed up" because they "lost control of their enzymes." Uh, silly boy, enzymes are molecules with extremely specific instructions to do their jobs. You can't have "too many" of them and suddenly gain a superpower.

John speaks of evolution as "a disease," perhaps because all this highfalutin' talk about mutations has boggled him even more profoundly than usual.

Since they don't grasp mutation in codons, John and Jane conclude that all mutations are bad -- even though they show us the textbook page where it says some are malign, some are what we call "Junk DNA," and others are beneficial to survival. They want them all to be bad, see, because then Evolution can't be a true Theory!

J&J conclude that the mosquitoes' adaptation to an environment with pesticides is so "crazy" and "impossible" that it "destroys evolution."

They accuse evolution scientists of thinking that creatures "evolve upward," which we don't. It's the fundamentalists who phrase it that way, all the time, so they can put humans -- pardon me, men, because they're sexists -- at the "top" of the evolutionary chain, "above the animals."

Both actors struggle with their dialogue, either finding the texts hard to memorize or the cue cards hard to read. The production values are abysmal. J&J are always against a white background, with either a table on which to lay their books, or a mysterious trunk from which they discover old books... old books which confirm their antagonism toward science, since science continues to evolve and improve, as it's a self-correcting process.

John and Jane, however, never self-correct. They always retreat back to their safe, misinformed and anti-intellectual beliefs and faiths.

The acting is amateurish. Perhaps it's to distract you from noticing that the "science" presented here is mostly incorrect. The reason that public schools teach or are supposed to teach evolution theory as fact is because it is a fact. "Evolution" also shares its name with the Theory of Evolution, which is currently the best explanation for the diversity of life on earth. If you can prove the theory of evolution wrong, you would win a Nobel prize.

My recommendation: Skip this video.
