Why is the trailer full of strawmen?

For example,

1) What scientist, holds up a rubber chicken and an egg to explain evolution?

2) In the film is the line 'all public schools and universities teach evolution as the answer to the origins of life'. But that's not evolution. The theory of evolution explains the diversity of life through natural processes such as natural selection.

3) We didn't come from apes, we are apes, and there is a vast amount of evidence that we share common descent with the other apes.

4) 'Life comes from life, it doesn't come from non-life' Again, that's a statement that has nothing to do with what evolution teaches.

Because there is no foundation for their speculation. They make up stuff. It's easier to make up stuff and call it evolution instead of really understanding evolution. It's easier to refute their own lies about evolution instead of real science. Pathetic. Fir people who are supposed to be so in touch with god, they sure don't mind bearing false witness and using immoral tactics to get their lies out there. They're really going to make a fortune on this movie...something about an eye of a camel in that.

Also, it gives them ground to make a movie (and the money it will bring in, and the ignorance it will breed) based on their uneducated guesses of how this planet and the life on it operates.
With that sort of casualness, anyone can make a movie about anything and claim it to be the truth.
Just keep in mind that the title has the world FAITH in it. A word that discredits their own thoughts, if you think about it.

Believers putting up strawmen? Can't be!

We didn't come from apes, we are apes

No we aren't.

The evolution fairytale asserts that apes "evolved" into humans, but there is no evidence for that.

there is a vast amount of evidence that we share common descent with the other apes.

No, there isn't. In fact, there is no evidence of that. All darwinists have are stories that they made up.

Ever seen an ape transforming into a human? Nope, didn't think so! That's because your evolution fairytale is a crock with zero evidence.

>No we aren't.

Simply denying the truth doesn't help your case.

If you have EVIDENCE, present it! Otherwise, admit that you are just expressing ignorance without evidence.

There's lots of evidence. Tell us why these are not evidence:

Embedded telemeres in human chromosome #2.
ERVs.
The phylogenetic nested hierarchies are further confirmed at the molecular level by genome mapping.

===> The fact that you are IGNORANT of the evidence doesn't make that evidence go away. (But if you wish to deny what God has created, complain to the Creator about it. Tell him you don't like what he did.)

>>there is a vast amount of evidence that we share common descent with the other apes.

>No, there isn't.

Yes, close your eyes and ears and repeated it loudly: "I refuse to accept the evidence! I refuse to accept the evidence. And that makes me the true Christian! And those who disagree with me cannot be true Christians! Look how spiritual I am because I"m ignorant of science and I deny God's creation of evolutionary processes."

Book of Proverbs: "The mocker scorns instruction." Yes, keep telling yourself that ALL of the world's science professors all agreed: "Let's make up a fable just to irritate Navaros!"

>Ever seen an ape transforming into a human? Nope, didn't think so!

Wow. So that is what you think The Theory of Evolution states? You think some "ape" suddenly "transformed" into a human? If it be possible, you may know even less about science than Ken Ham!

If ever an "ape transforming into a human" was observed, that would DEBUNK The Theory of Evolution!

Individual don't evolve. POPULATIONS evolve. You really should have stayed awake in biology class!

> That's because your evolution fairytale is a crock with zero evidence.

Newsflash: You just described your own rubbish.

Simply denying the truth doesn't help your case.

On the contrary: you claiming what you wish to be true as the truth does not make it true.

If you have EVIDENCE, present it! Otherwise, admit that you are just expressing ignorance without evidence.

Humans don't live in zoos or in jungles and throw feces at each other all the live-long day, as do apes. Point proven, God wins, darwinism loses.

Embedded telemeres in human chromosome #2.
ERVs.
The phylogenetic nested hierarchies are further confirmed at the molecular level by genome mapping.

So you copy and pasted a bunch of darwinist babble from darwinist propaganda sites. You have to do better than that.

Explain how any of that "proves" evolution.

"I refuse to accept the evidence! I refuse to accept the evidence.

One cannot accept that which does not exist. No evidence for evolution exists, that is why darwinists have never proven it, and never will. All that darwinists have are assumptions, speculations, guesses, and stories that they made up in their own minds.

"The mocker scorns instruction.

You mock God and scorn His instruction with every post you make on this board.

ALL of the world's science professors all agreed

I doubt that all science professors are darwinists, but it wouldn't matter if they were. "The wisdom of men is foolishness to God." Why are you putting your faith in the evil words of ungodly men instead of in the Word of God?

Individual don't evolve. POPULATIONS evolve.

Populations are made up of individuals. One cannot evolve without the other, although really, neither can evolve since evolution is a fairytale.

If ever an "ape transforming into a human" was observed, that would DEBUNK The Theory of Evolution!

Of course it wouldn't. It would finally be the evidence that darwinists so desperately need to prove that their fairytale is true.

I deny God's creation of evolutionary processes.

Attributing evil to God is a very grievous sin, and that is what a darwinist needs must do by making the insidious claim that "God created through evolutionary processes," since "evolution" relies upon death, evil, and destruction in order to "work."

All godly people always have, always do, and always will deny that insidious claim. The God of the Bible is good. The false god of darwinism who "created through evolutionary processes" is unavoidably evil. That false evolution god sounds a lot like satan. Good thing that godly people have the wisdom to see past the crock that is darwinism and put their faith in God and the Bible, not satan and evolution.

For mountains of evidence for The Theory of Evolution, visit the TalkOrigins website.

TalkOrigins has mountains of propaganda and darwinist storytelling imaginings. It does not, however, have any evidence for evolution.

What a lame impersonation of a creationist denier of evolution. You are so obvious.

You are so busted.

[–] Navaros 10 years ago

What's that SedateProf, all I heard is "blah blah I'm a darwinist ad hom troller."

They can't debate so they make a movie where they can have control of both sides.

Yes, you that is why the worst censorship is found on Young Earth Creationist webpages.

[–] frontiersmantanis 10 years ago

Exactly. Even they themselves realize that their position cannot stand up to so much as scrutiny from random people on youtube or facebook. How is that a position worth holding?
