5'd to counter downvoters, and because his religious beliefs aren't the driving force for every single possible ytmnd post, unlike some peoples' anti-religious beliefs about Whetstone. Also, nice job :-)
"evolution took place from naturally occuring amino acids to
form humans, intelligence is a bifactor of complicated life"
As a biology major myself, I can tell you that your statement is wrong. Biologists can't really do anything but guess how the random amino acids and lipidic envelopes began to change to what we have today. We just assume that there was a pool of around 7.15 ph with adequate available carbon, hydrogen, and sulfur [the first bacteria most likely created energy via sulfur].
After skimming through the comments, it seems that a lot of people failed to even watch the whole YTMND. That's pretty sad. Overall, this was a pretty good ytmnd, and I'm glad that there are far fewer trolls in here than in some of the other theological ytmnds.
"[That is] why is it explicitly called the
THEORY of evolution in every textbook?"
Do you realize what that means from a scientific point of view? A theory is the ultimate trump card in non-mathematical sciences. It's a collection of definate facts pieced together with a little bit of "This problably happened somewhere around here." That is why I can still accept evolution while being a Christian. Anyway, I'm not here to debate, but rather to point out that the bigotry in this thread only serves to

Get off your high-horses and realize that just because you don't agree with someone, doesn't mean you have to downvote and become a crazy anti-christian zealot.
Big props to you both, Whetstone and Peterguy.
[cont] present-day Protestants. That's on par with being angry at twenty year old Germans because the Hollocaust happened.
To everyone who said that death figures shouln't be quoted because there is also a large amount of suffering in other parts of the world for various other things, I ask you: What deserves attention? Since you are apparently omniscient and worthy of making the decision that Christianity is not worthy of mentioning, I ask you what is. Like it or not, innocent people being killed
[cont] issues, both political and religious. When you make claims of the crusades or of the KKK, you're showing that you lack any education or true understanding of what you're talking about. The catholic church, as a part of the state, was extremely corrupt during the darker ages of humanity. Some of the attrocities they commited are among the worst things ever done to innocent people. However, you shouldn't still hold it against those who are present-day catholics, nor should you hold it against
Great YTMND. As usual, I have to say that no one here is forcing anyone to watch this. Before you criticize him for "Forcing you to view this," keep in mind that no one is making you click the link, nor is anyone preventing you from clicking the back button on your browser. Just as those who are educated followers of Islam do not consider those who commit acts of terror to be true followers of their religion of peace, most protestants don't think that the Catholic church is in the right in regaurds to many
