Obviously nuclear fusion doesn't exist.

@Carwyn Llewellyn - I just wanted to point out that you should not fall for that argument of "you can't be an atheist because you can't KNOW that there is no god." Atheism is the BELIEF that there is no god, its a form of faith not a statement of fact. I have faith that there is no god, therefore I am an atheist.

I can't prove there isn't a god, no religion can prove there is. When its faith related, you don't have to prove anything :) So if you believe there is no god, if that's your best guess then I implore you to refer to yourself as an atheist.

Technically true, but the example is bogus
written by Steven on March 27, 2007

Technically the argument holds true, scientists are yet to successfully recreate a primordial soup and generate a new spark of life. Like the big bang for astrophysicists, the emergence of life still has a cloud over it for evolutionary scientists. This does not mean it's incorrect, just that we aren't yet sophisticated to prove it (much like the big bang). From that point on of course, evolution is plainly visible and forms the basis of medical science.

Technically untrue
written by The Atheist Jew on March 27, 2007

Abiogenesis and evolution are two separate studies. Combining the two is just a way for mentally ill Fundies to cloud the issue.
Evolution is how a one celled animal evolved over time, it is about how one life organism changes over time to create species with different genetic make up.
It has zero to do with how the first one celled animal got here. Most likely a chemical reaction in a very hostile environment, though not 100% proven or replicated YET.

Whoah. Big problem, guys. The theory of evolution itself doesn't deal with the orgin of life. It's the origin of species. Of course, that doesn't stop them from fashioning and burning that same straw man thousands of times.

The origin of life is a related problem, and it *is* being explored, but the religionists want to pretend that the two phenomena are one and the same. Of course, they can't even be bothered to actually address the content of the various abiogenesis hypothesis, so this shouldn't suprise us.

Now if evolution happened, cows would occasionally be born with sentinent minds. Since this is not the case, and butchers have been quizing beef on current affairs for virtually hundereds of years, then we could say that evolution happens. Until you bring me a cow that can contradict this moron, he will be believed by other non-sentinent life, who is unfortunately allowed to vote.

Re: Steven and the primordial soup
written by Kaze on March 28, 2007

Actually, back when I was in high school, there were several abiogenesis experiments going on simultaneously. Several of which, after running for an extended period of time started to create phospholipids - the lipids that make up the cellular membrane on all living tissue. When the experiment was extended, the phospholipids began to arrange themselves into barriers, forming cell-like structures.

Why have we never seen cellular life generated from this experiment? Because in order to do so, we would need to allow the experiment to run for centuries. Even in a relatively small primordial soup environment, it takes a long period of time before sufficient materials can come together in a density great enough to produce a single living cell.

But, as others have already said - abiogenesis isn't the same as evolution. Straw man fallacy and all that.

You must have no clue about the natural world, right? Seeing as you clearly don't understand the mechanisms which drive fusion in the first place, how are you able to claim it doesn't exist. You are a f!$%-ing unintelligent buffoon who I hope one day realizes that the only reason he is alive on Earth at the moment is because nuclear fusion does exist and it exists quite abundantly (like in the sun's core). If it didn't, your puny existence on this planet wouldn't be so pleasant any more. No crap Sherlock, you don't see fusion randomly (naturally) in the atmosphere/oceans/crust/etc. of the earth or anywhere else for that matter on this planet because no where on this planet does there exists the extreme temperatures and energy required as the catalyst for fusion. That's why nuclear physicists for the last near century have been trying to create it using guess what?...you got it, GOOD science! So shut up, go back to reading your fairy tales, and stop making unintelligent claims about something you know nothing about.

Everyting inside that jar lived once...
written by Lars on March 28, 2007

From the organisms that produced the ingredients in the first place. Peanuts from a plant. Butter created from milk that contains numerous benign bacteria (many still present and living in the jar he's holding). When all elements were processed into peanut butter, the peanuts "died" (bear with me) and evolution clearly dictates that what is dead, cannot be revived. So in a twisted way, they're supporting the theory of evolution. I guess.

But seriously - the primal soup contained many things, enzymes etc. etc., but nothing closely resembling peanut butter. Wonderful video though... but clearly aimed at the choir they're preaching to.

We should overlook the fact also, that peanut butter comes from ROASTED peanuts, which means they are dead in the first place. That wasnt the point, I know, but still funny that even the simplest of examples is not even valid.
Also, did Darwin prove spontaneous conception???? I dont think so. Do your research buddy and maybe listen to what the actual definition of evolution is. JACKASS RELIGIOUS FANATICS!!

2) It contains many added chemicals and is sealed air tight to ensure that there will be no "life" in it when you receive it.
3) The entire food industry does not really on evolution not working. Many foods REQUIRE bacteria (or "life").
4) There is a far greater chance of Peanut Butter coming to life then a three day old beaten and stabbed corpse. That's just my perception on it though.
5) WTF do I need to smoke to get this kind of high?
6) Where did this guy get his definition for evolition?
Definition: "Evolution": In the life sciences, evolution is a change in the traits of living organisms over generations, including the emergence of new species. Since the development of modern genetics in the 1940s, evolution has been defined more specifically as a change in the frequency of alleles in a population from one generation to the next.In other fields evolution is used more generally to refer to any process of change over time.

peanut butter, a creatonists embarrassment
written by S.A.M. on March 28, 2007

This whole stupid argument is based on the assumption that the theory of evolution (ToE) predicts live can come out of a jar of peanut butter. Those who understand the ToE will agree with me that this theory makes no such ridiculous predictions. The assumption is false, and therefore the conclusion -that the ToE is wrong- is also false.
It should not surprise us however that creatonists and religious people in general find such arguments convincing since their whole belief is based on conclusions drawn from false assumptions. If this argument shows anything it is that there is a growing need to teach the ToE in schools so that future generations can be spared from such public embarrassments.

written by jake on April 5, 2007

From two years of high school biology I can come up with at least three reasons this guys logic falls through off the top of my head. The physical compounds in peanut butter are nothing like those that originally created life, and are not sufficient. The energy it is submitted to is likewise dissimilar to the types conducive to life. Finally, even if peanut butter should occasionally give birth to life, the number of opportunities for life to be created before it actually happened must have numbered in the, well, I can't think of a number that would be that high (I'm sure there is one, but I do not know its name). Every bottle of peanut butter in existence, ever created and those that will be created in the next thousand years are still an unfathomably small fraction of the number of opportunities it took for life to come about.

evolution is a fact
written by Dave on April 5, 2007

I thought I should point out that evolution has nothing to do with "life from lifelessness," as the host puts it. Evolution explains biodiversity, not the origin of life. Believe that god created life if you wish, but that life has evolved and continues to do so. Some of the best and most obvious evidence for that is the evolution of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria (as a previous poster points out). [Or perhaps god created antibiotic resistant bacteria and is there for a terrorist...or perhaps just a right bastard.]

At any rate, this guy obviously doesn't even understand the science he is trying to discredit.

It is made from the freshest ingredients that have no chance of developing into a new lifeform. On behalf of our very, very happy shareholders, I thank you Dr. Chuck.

This is so stupid.....

these people obviously dont get it.... you can not compare the matter and chemicals on earth to a jar of peanut butter.... thats just retarded

RNA World
written by Sam Winchester on August 17, 2007

DNA is the building block of ALL life, and you need DNA to make amino acids, but you also need amino acids to construct DNA. Witch came first? Evolutionist theory holds that after the earth cooled the hot molting lava became earth(rocks, mountains, boulders, dirt, ect.) Then asteroids covered with ice (lets call the ice asteroids) collied with the earth bringing the water that fills our great lakes and oceans. After millions and millions of years these rocks (witch were formally hot molting lava) dissolve in the water. After being electrically charged the matter witch was formally rocks, witch was formally molting lava, become RNA peptide or (as known by evolutionist)"RNA World". They aren't exactly sure where the elements came from to make DNA. Many believe Carl Sagan's theory that another "magic" asteroid brought the final elements to earth. Other believe those elements were already here (how?). It doesn't matter where these elements came from, these elements when mixed with the pool of electrically charged RNA peptide "created" the first DNA witch "created" the first amino acid, witch was the beginning of ALL life. Oh yeah, over millions and millions of years. And you think peanut butter is ridiculous?

why are all atheist aging men or in some aging cases women? i guess they need something to help them sleep at night after a life of screwing everyone over.
funny how the ones who are the most evil use lack of beliefs as a way out of thier sins/deeds, at least in thier own head. they dont want to believe in sin because sin makes then guilty and they wont accept they are wrong. atheism is merely a mental illness, a delusion, lies one tell to oneself to help one feel important, guiltless, relieved. it a form of self medication, not facing reality and the truth.

NOBODY in the evolutionary school claims that life arose in a few years and then... the same is true for a peanut butter jar.... Sorry but... this video is stupid and made for stupid people who DONT READ siencie and really KNOWS what sciences is producing for many years....

Albert Einstein eventually believed that there had to be a God. Forget about islam, christianity, etc, the universe is so unbelievably amazing in its vastness and wonders, that its not so farfetched to believe in a creator. God isn't comprehensible. its beyond our ability to fathom. Thats is what God is. Think we'll ever understand our universe?

fucking religion!!!!
written by george on December 14, 2007

i want to laugh at these complete idiots but it simply enrages me to think that wankers like this exist. they talk shite about a product not evolving, but they produce a video that shows "a product" (in a sense) evolving as a result of bacteria breaking down the said product. WHEN ARE SHE STUPID BIBLE BASHING WANKERS GOING TO REALISE THAT GOD DOES NOT EXIST!!! there is so much evidence to make the clear, the fact, that evolution is real and the most important thing ever. i am ranting, but these twats are so blind in laughable. i fucking hate religion!!!!! bunch of c**ts!!!

Heh, Bevets is here.
written by InebriatedArsonist on January 18, 2008

I can't believe Bevets actually posted in this thread. That guy must have one sophisticated quote machine.

Anyhow, the arguing that abiogenesis is false because a peanut butter jar doesn't spontaneously produce a new life form is nothing short of idiotic. The peanut butter jar fails to accurately reconstruct the atmospheric and geologic conditions of a primordial Earth, not to mention the chemicals present at the time that would provide the building blocks for life. And the time scale is off, too. All in all, creationists should stop attempting to use bad science to back up their beliefs, and simply go with faith alone.

Oh, and they should stop pushing for this drivel to be taught alongside actual scientific disciplines. Keep your religion in the houses of worship and private homes, where it belongs.

Simplistic, but True!

When & where has anyone ever discovered 'new' life? Mating a Labrador Retriever with a Poodle and calling the offspring a Labradoodle does not constitute creation. Atheists tell themselves there is no God for the same reason thieves tell themselves there are no cops around.

Too bad if this is the only thing you've ever heard from Chuck Missler; he really is a brilliant guy as far as scientific, mechanical, engineering and scriptural knowledge. He’s also personable and witty and full of love, for even the most cynical of you (that's why he did this clip).

Methinks thou doest protest too much!

God bless!

You people are some of the dumbest people I've ever encountered. Especially this idiot who really believes you can disprove evolution with peanut butter. There are so many things SO BEYOND the naivete of the average person, such as, what were the conditions of early earth, chemical composition of the oceans, the air, etc. The chemical world of early earth was very different, where perhaps the right elements combined to form the earliest forms of bacteria and life. And to the person who said nuclear fusion doesn't exist, I hope you are joking. Just because hydrogen atoms are subjected to "heat and energy" on earth, it's called nuclear for a reason you fuck. There is nowhere near enough energy or heat on earth in natural conditions to create nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion can only be created in stars, you fucking fuck. Fuck the ignorant world.

Its over, there is water on mars
written by William on August 3, 2008

God put water in one place according to the Bible, Earth. Guess what, there is water on Mars. God forget he left water there? No, the Bible is false, your following a sun god. The real god is passive, its up to you to do good, not him. He did not create you, your mother and father did, and their mothers and fathers. Just because you do not understand the Earth does not mean you can make stuff up.

It doesnt even take peanut butter to prove religion wrong.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller-Urey_experiment
The experiment used water (H2O), methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), hydrogen (H2), and carbon monoxide (CO). The chemicals were all sealed inside a sterile array of glass tubes and flasks connected in a loop, with one flask half-full of liquid water and another flask containing a pair of electrodes. The liquid water was heated to induce evaporation, sparks were fired between the electrodes to simulate lightning through the atmosphere and water vapor, and then the atmosphere was cooled again so that the water could condense and trickle back into the first flask in a continuous cycle.

At the end of one week of continuous operation, Miller and Urey observed that as much as 10–15% of the carbon within the system was now in the form of organic compounds. Two percent of the carbon had formed amino acids that are used to make proteins in living cells, with glycine as the most abundant. Sugars, lipids, and some of the building blocks for nucleic acids were also formed.

In an interview, Stanley Miller stated: "Just turning on the spark in a basic pre-biotic experiment will yield 11 out of 20 amino acids."[8]

As observed in all consequent experiments, both left-handed (L) and right-handed (D) optical isomers were created in a racemic mixture. Re-analysis published in October 2008[6] of material from the experiments showed 22 amino acids rather than 5 were created in one apparatus.[7] In particular, the experiment thought to simulate a volcanic eruption was examined. These new results provide stronger evidence that biological molecules can form from simple reactants.

@John about Tim Randall
"Nuclear fusion does exist in nature and has been duplicated by man. BUT, man has NOT even come close to duplicating spontaneous generation of life. If life can't be generated by the most intelligent human designs, how could it nevertheless have occurred by sheer happenstance??!!"
Well apparently some people would disagree about not coming close. But anyway, your argument is completely flawed. You're saying just because humans can't do something now then how can it have been done by sheer "happenstance"? You sound like my brother says, humans will never be able to prove evolution(Which I could really care less about), because we can't prove it at this point in time. Like we'll never cure cancer, or never develop faster cars, etc. If we can't do it at this very moment. It's impossible to think science can develop and get better, that'd be, evolution in a way! *gasp*.. Now I will admit your argument isn't the same as his, exactly, but it's damn close.

AAARRGHHH!
written by Joe Echevarria on July 14, 2009

WHy non scientists make claims about science not even using scientific method, not preparing the right question even, but throwing a weak partial argument like this is beyond me.

I am a theistic evolutionist. I believe that creation and evolution are one in the same. I think that one can neither prove nor disprove God... so that is a non point to me, but one can prove that evolution happened (readily) though the motivators or absolute cause begs the question and moves into philosophy rather than science.

That's my step one.

Step two... is how Lame this guy is if he believes for one second that such a sorry argument works on anyone but the already convinced with no scientific knowledge.
So matter any matter plus energy, any energy equals life? Does Grain, plus Milk and eggs always come up cake? No. It matters not only that matter is prsent, but what matter, matters, and how much matter, matters, and what type of energy matters, and how much of a charge matters. I think that is just the tip of the iceberg, but e can rule out the ingredients in most store bought products as being the ideal mixture of ingredients, and anything along the manufacturing, transportation, shelf life, and consumption period of such products as being the ideal amount of energy.

I am certain it will not turn into a life form, though it may well get into one. (swallow, digest, and all the rest)

Try again!
