Why Do People Laugh At Creationists?

Hey all,

I stumbled across this excellent set of videos on youtube last night:

Why Do People Laugh At Creationists

It's a 24 part series, each video 5-10 minutes in length and features excellent rebuttals of tired arguments (particularly those of a certain idiot called VenomFangX), as well as some fantastic information about various aspects of Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Maths, from a large variety of fields. There are also a few great pieces of reasoning in later videos on why religious thought processes are dangerous, why the actions of creationists and such deluded people are immoral (such as attacking the very things that make our lives better, and forcing people to waste countless amounts of time defending things that have already withstood large scrutiny within the academic arena, for starters), and why science is so important to our modern society (being the foundation for all the things we utilise and take for granted).

Personally, despite having a good grasp of the basics in many of the fields mentioned (particularly with Biology, probability, and especially with Chemistry and some of the related physics such as thermodynamics), there are some very interesting facts I learnt in this series. If you've got the time to watch it all, it's well worth it.

Oh, and it also features some sharp wit and accurate labelling of ignorant deluded fools as... well, ignorant deluded fools.

If you do believe in such creationist nonsense, please watch the whole series; it is almost certain that your argument has already been addressed! You might even learn something too!
