Tears of rage will probably run down your face when you watch this creationist liar indoctrinating children to reject evolution. How far from child abuse is it to permanently limit someone’s worldview, or leave them with a lifelong struggle with guilt and anxiety as they attempt to overcome the lies on which they were raised?
In antidote to that, let’s cleanse our palates with Aronra’s 10th Foundational Falsehood of Creationism, in which you will receive a blessedly fact-based account of phylogenetics, “the most compelling and overwhelming evidence of evolution and our place in nature.”
It doesn’t matter if you believe we were descended from the same ancestor as apes, because we were. It’s a concrete truth of biology. We are animals, primates in fact. This body of information is the reason evolution is taught in biology class, and creationism isn’t.
AronRa, a 46-year-old geoscience student and prolific video ranter, has created an excellent series about the “Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism”. He’s been working on these for about a year, and though he has to hang it up for now for an extremely busy semester, the first 13 (yes 13!) installments are fantastic. We look forward to his return and wish him well on exams. Let the debunking begin.
1st Foundational Falsehood of Creationism
My personal rant against one of foremost falsehoods of the creationism movement; the idea that accepting evolution is tantamount to declaring atheism, or that one need be creationist to be Christian.
2nd Foundational Falsehood of Creationism
Exploring the erroneous notion that the holy scriptures were written by God, rather than be subject to the errs of humanity.
