Peanut Butter, The Atheist’s Nightmare!

"A jar of peanut butter is not a carbon-based life form."

It's logically necessary that whatever the first life form on earth was created from wasn't a carbon-based life form, either.

"That jar is actually teeming bacteria which reproduces with binary fission. So there actually is new life forming when he opens the jar."

That new life is being formed with the help of the life that came before it. They're discussing the problem of getting life from nonlife, which, as far as I know and by all means correct me if I'm wrong, has never been solved scientifically.

"I get to disprove your God by praying to cure all cancer patients."

Incidentally, the Bible verse cited demands belief in order for prayer to be answered, but I don't think anyone'll argue for its literal truth.

Good old peanut butter... always comes in handy to prove some stupid evolutionist liberal wrong.

i don't care what you crazy evolutionists think there is only one truth i believe in and thats the church of the flying spaghetti monster!!!!

~evolution rocks~

RTFM before you start bashing evolution again newbs

Is this a joke?

Seriously, where did you find this? This is scary.

Just because some Christians are morons does not mean they all are.

I find it rather sad that this is the tag put on all Christians. Obviously this guy had no clue what he was talking about but I know a lot of Christians who approach the whole "Who is Right" dilemma with an element of logic. In fact one of my closest friends is a heavy Christian and she never says stupid shit like this guy.

Hodgkin Huxley experiment.

B-A-C-T-E-R-I-A

The work of the devil.

Even if scientists believed that life could spontaneously appear from a peanut butter jar, it still would have absolutely zero bearing on evolution. The creation of life issue is a completely different topic (abiogenesis).

that was freaking hysterical
that was the best anti evolution stuff ive ever seen-i didnt know people could get that stupid
does anyone realize that the theory they presented wasnt even evolution?
life from non life ISNT evolution people-thats a primordial soup shindig

We win.

Good old Christian "science".

This old man needs to start praying to his invisible sky fairy that new life will erupt from that jar of peanut butter, then I may believe when it happens.

/idiot

That scares me worse than the banana ever could

this loses credibility in the first 30 seconds or so: "life from non-life is a fairytale. but despite that obvious truth, evolutionists..."

ahhhh what?
science is impartial and un-biased by definition. When anyone adds a personal agenda, it goes from science to "science"

reason number 387 to laugh at americans

Aliens planted us here a long time ago. Then came back and built the pyramids

What's this guy on? It sounds like he's expecting grasshoppers or rabbits or something to jump out of an unopened jar of peanut butter. It's people like this that give Christians a bad name.

I believe everyone is entitle to their own opinion. That's in our law and basic code. You can believe in God, he'll believe in the FSM, and I think you're wrong. That's fine. But when you try to prove that evolution never happened simply because life doesn't spontaneously erupt from non-living matter, that's stupid. Doing something like that would give any group a bad name. Not to mention you need to have constant boiling-level heat, amino acids, and some billions of years. Why don't you try that experiment? Boil peanut butter for a few billion years and wait for amino acids to, by chance, assemble itself into DNA and proteins.

What a total plonker!

i have to agree, i used to be fairly religious but ive found that people are no longer looking to god as much for answers. it seems that they are just clutching at straws.

Everyone knows that life evolves from jelly anyway.

OMG I FOUND A PENIS IN MY JAR OF JIFFY!!!!!!!!!! DIVINE INTERVENTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMMACULATE CONCEPTION!!!!!!!!! OMG LOL CHRISTIANS NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME

The process of creating life according to evolution was much, much more complicated than he says. It required millions of years of incredible heat and an environment that would have killed almost all of todays organisms instantly. And it started with RNA. He is deliberately ignoring a well-known fact about evolution--it takes millions of years for life and the like to form.

why peanut butter? Why didnt he choose a box of corn flakes or anything else?

if there was new life you cant unscrew the lid and look inside and find it. life starts at the simplest stage, a microscopic unicellular organism. Also the food industry is very good at preservation. They mix preservatives in the food that harm parasitic molds etc. and prevent natural breakdown of molecules into raw materials that might encourage new life. The small pocket of air where "new life" would spring forth from is usually vaccuum sealed with nitrogen gas, which allows better sealing of the lid and is completely inert (it makes up most of air anyway). Sometimes foods, especially meats, are irradiated with gamma rays before being put on the market, which sterilizes everything. So you see there are checks upon checks that the manufacturer implements to make sure nothing starts flourishing in your peanut butter. I dont think we've ever found any life at all that can exist under conditions.

Anyway this guy is probably trying to debunk the experiment that showed was that if you zap a mixture or organic materials with electricity a whole lot of times, you'll eventually get essential amino acids, which are the foundations of cells. This is supposed to mimic the "primordial soup" of lifeless molecules struck by lightning during earth's beginning. these lightning storms were supposedly common back then; earth was a hot rocky storm all the time.

I know its hard to comprehend this effect. just getting the first tiny bacteria started could take billions of years. this is not a magnitude we are used to thinking about and putting into perspective. but imagine this experiment is going on all over the world, for billions of year, there is a possibility that just one single time the right things happen to come together just by chance to start a new organism.

OMG i was once an atheist and thought the theory of evolution to be true but wow now my eyes are truly open i wish i knew that before how stupid of me... i might be being sarcastic, well a little bit sarcastic yeah just a little

AHAHAHHAAHA WOW! I knew some creationists were insane but WOW

wow
he doesn't seem to realize that the life that could form in a peanut butter jar would be microscopic and very primitive. Also to the guy in the video, thank you, you are the basis for my study between the coralation between number of lead paint chips eaten and how religious you are.

yeah, just .....what the great raspberry muffin? some ppl are jus crazy. =D

EVERYTHING ID MADE OUT OF CARBONE ... GUESS WHY THEY ARE LOOKING FOR IT ON MARS!!!!

Forget being embarrassed to be an American (I am most of the time, anyway.).. I'm embarrassed to be the same species as this idiot.

ok this is simple, look peanut butter? jeez, at the very least try and have a viable argument here. the light and energy giving life was because the crap in the primordial soup could support life. all those funny little non air breathing microbes came to life. and life from non life, well how do you explain human beings? we are nothing more than lumps of tissue in the womb. non living ones, growing yes but from cells attaching to one another, from chemical bonding, this process made possible by the energy given by the mother. and eventually we are alive and continue to grow. but at the very beginning we're pretty much just that bacteria in the soup. and, just for the record, peanut butter= delicious.

I think this may be a parody of the WOTM banana video, but even if its not i am quite sure that the supermarket environment does not provide extreme enough conditions to form new life.

Wow...do you really expect to find new life in peanut butter? First off new life almost NEVER occurs. It took hundreds of billions of years for the first micro-organism in a non-oxygenated environment to form. Do you really expect that new life would form, first off in a peanut butter jar in a time slot of 100 years? Peanut butter can't have new life form in the first place and it probably lacks the proper atoms (C, H, O, P, N, S) and the proper amount of heat to create DNA, and a membrane. Also the huge majority of life comes from previous life; there's no spontaneous generation. Why the hell is a engineer trying to talk about biology in the first place...

Phew! Until now I was worried, since evolution would allow relatively simple organisms change to develop new traits in a short period of time. Thanks to this video, I'm very pleased to know that bacteria like Staphylococcus Aureus can not, without divine intervention of course, develop resistance to our antibiotics.

Apart from the complete lack of scientific understanding here, this guy isn't even attempting to disprove evolution. Evolution is defined as "the change in the inherited traits of a population from one generation to the next". Last I checked, peanut butter was not a life form capable of reproduction. The formation of life from non-living matter is called abiogenesis. While not unrelated, they are still two discrete theories.
