PragerFU: Amoeba to Mozart
I've been wanting to make this video for twenty years. From amoeba to Mozart is this cute little phrase Dennis came up with back in the '80s — at least I remember hearing him use it all the way back then. It's an extreme condensation of the evolutionary process in an attempt to make godless evolution look stupid. I actually asked him about it in the early 2000s (you'll hear about it in the video), and got the typical dodge I got from him after I became an Atheist.
I think you'll enjoy this one. It's quick, but to the point. Thanks for helping me make it! I say it every month, but it's true — I couldn't do this without you. B

Hear, hear . . . and I would love to see you in heals! (Great line and a so many of your great lines are . . . even greater because they are throw away lines.) Only the greatest among us can dispense so much wisdom so casually.
Here I will wax pedantic, for those who reject evolution are either stupid or blind. Even when I was a preschooler, I could see that lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, pumas, jaguars, bobcats, lynx, even domestic cats were so similar that they must all be related in a feline family. I could likewise tell that dogs, wolves, foxes, coyotes, dingos, jackals, hyenas were undeniably close cousins. The same held true for horses, donkeys, burros, zebras. Then there were deer, moose, elk, antelope, gazelles, impalas. Seals, sea lions, walruses. Sheep and goats. Dolphins and whales. Eagles and hawks. Camels and llamas. Crabs and lobsters. Salmon and trout. And when I considered these different clans, surely the cats were closer cousins to the wolves than to the sheep, and the horse group more closely related to deer than to seals. Dennis and his ilk are so blinkered that they've never looked at the world around them…?
But God created everything after its "kind"... remember?
🙄 amoeba to Mozart. Pathetic statement from a so called intellectual like Dennis
It's as puzzling as the documentaries that offer mundane explanations for the miracles of the bible. Documentaries that offer scientific explanations for the plagues of Egypt, or how the Red Sea could part given the right combination of earthquake and wind patterns. Who is the audience for these things? Not the believer who thinks miracles are miracles, and not some mundane confluence of forces. Not the unbeliever who rolls their eyes at the unlikely nature of it all. It's what believers think will convince nonbelievers. It's not presenting facts, it's presenting targeted propaganda made for a singular insincere purpose.
Such a great point! Well said.
They so desperately want the imprimatur of science. They want it so bad they can taste it. And yet at the same time they're trying to taste it, they're badmouthing it. They call it a bunch of made-up stories, and say the scientists don't actually know anything.
