While I have no interest in humiliating anyone, this flagrantly erroneous video and the claims contained within it are being share everywhere as "fact," when the facts are the claims are just plain not true.

Epic creationist fails of our time -- #1

potholer54 📤 7 years ago 2011-06-29

Another nominee for the coveted Golden Crocoduck braves the waters of science with the leaky boat of creationist ignorance.

Note 1: In the video I show the Earth as it is today, and the location of the fossil Troodon and Oviraptor eggs in Montana and Mongolia. I described these as "opposite sides of the world." As a couple of viewers pointed out, the configuration of the continents was different in the cretaceous. However, the places where the different eggs were found are still what could be described as "opposite sides of the world." According to my "Atlas of Evolution", only a few degrees off 180 degrees, in fact. I wanted to use a globe representing the cretaceous, but couldn't find one.

This one deals with mutations and "information".

Regarding side-effects of high-density LRP5 function: Many subjects do experience detrimental side-effects, and sometimes these can be severe, but this is not the case with all subjects, some of which suffer no down-side to unbreakable bones.

Regarding the Tibetan mutations against Hyplexia:
"we identified strong signals of selective sweep in two hypoxia-related genes, EPAS1 and EGLN1. ...The observed indicators of natural selection on EPAS1 and EGLN1 suggest that during the long-term occupation of high altitude areas, the functional sequence variations for acquiring biological adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia have been enriched in Tibetan populations."

"The strongest signal of natural selection came from endothelial Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain protein 1 (EPAS1), a transcription factor involved in response to hypoxia. One single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at EPAS1 shows a 78% frequency difference between Tibetan and Han samples, representing the fastest allele frequency change observed at any human gene to date."

Evolution is like a Box of Chocolates (More Golden Crocoduck nominees)

Potholer54debunks 📤 8 years ago 2010-05-12

Four videos from the 2010 Golden Crocoduck nominees playlist are highlighted, all linked by a common theme. Here are a few corrections and clarifications:

1) The cracked actor in the first clip is Hal Holbrook. His performance makes him eligible for the Golden Crocoduck 2010. The video is titled "Evolution Theory - Is it Reliable?"

2) The guy in te boat can be found in the video: "CrEvo-Rant-78 - the boat that dont float"

3) In my original script I had the numbers pulled out of Holbrook's box destroyed if they were wrong, as would happen with deleterious genetic traits. But what I said on the video was that they go back into the pool, which would alter the stats. In the first case, the number one would be pulled very quickly, if it took just one second to pick up and discard each of the numbers -- max time 20 seconds. If the wrong numbers went back into the box then there would be a 1 in 20 chance of picking up the right ball each time, so it would take an average of about 10 seconds to pick the right number. But that's just a statistical average. In theory you could keep picking numbers out of the box for a million years and never get a one, just as you could roll a die for ever and never get a 6. The probability is so small as to be impossible.

4) The same goes for the slot machines. Instead os saying it would take a minute to hit the jackpot, in reality it would take a few minutes longer, on average, because not every machine would be guaranteed to get a bacterium symbol even after six tries. There will always be one machine where a bacterium doggedly refuses to come up in one wheel.

These are interesting academic points, and I am happy to clarify my mistakes for the record. But we are still reducing a time period of 77 million (or billion) years to a matter of a few minutes, and changing something the creationists say is impossible to something that is certain. That's the power of natural selection over natural chance.

The Day of the Cataclysm - (WoW Machinima by Nixxiom)

Nixxiom 📤 5 years ago 2013-09-22

Remember the day Cataclysm was released to all of us eager-beaver WoW fans? Oh, yes. I remember that day quite well. However... I might remember it a little differently than you all do. To honor the memory of World of Warcraft Cataclysm I present to you my latest machinima: The Day of the Cataclysm. A story of heroism, love, statues, and hot babes. Enjoy!

Featuring the voice acting talents of:
-Nixxiom (that's me!)
-Mooclucking
-Matt Greenburg (whose audio I had to take from the NARIS episode of Beowulf since he couldn't ever get around to doing the actual line for me)

Inspiration comes from the following sources:
-http://us.media.blizzard.com/blizzard/contests/comics/2011/2011-01-3-winner.jpg
-Not All Roleplay is Serious - NOOB
-Not All Roleplay is Serious - BEOWULF
-Mooclucking's cute butt

The music in the "Sub" part of the video is called "Sugar High" by Approaching Nirvana. Go check out the song and sub to those masters of audio! All rights and credit for Sugar High go to them:
