Were we supposed to watch all that?

People who argue on YouTube are exemplars of the theory of evolution. I predict that they'll have died out in a generation or two.

While I watched that, a small globule of spittle that had slipped out earlier while I was talking on the phone undried itself, levitated 12 cm in front of me, and screamed in a surprisingly loud voice for such a tiny spittle globule, "Stop watching this! It's stupid!!!"

The spittle then fell to the ground and was absorbed quite rapidly into the carpet fibers.

Horrible. Long and boring. His epic pwn of the creationist consists of saying that the 'big bang' was an expansion, not a bang, and that the material coalesced from energy. OK, that's fine. Where did the energy come from? Why did space expand rapidly, then taper off?

I rationalize the 'big bang' in my own mind by extrapolating the Hawking Radiation phenomenon, where a particle/anti-particle pop into existence out of the vacuum and annihilate themselves in less time than the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle sets as the lower limit of quantum measurability. I figure there is some meta-vacuum where universes pop into existence spontaneously all the time. All the anthropic questions - 'why are the physical constants so perfectly tuned?' - I guess that if it's possible, then it must happen. Other universes just aren't stable to the degree that ours is.

That's more sensible to me than a non-coporeal sentient being who exists outside of time and space, can create anything by volition, and yet demands that desert people burn sheep to please him.
