I watched this as I ate lunch, and actually chuckled out loud a few times.

Someone with a legit PhD who is willing to reject accepted science to say "the bible said it, god did it, now we must accept evidence to support, and reject that which does not."

I can't believe she actually pulled out the Mt. St. Helens dating claim!?

Well I didn't think you'd want to hear how I nearly lost my lunch after trying to listen to her

I believe one of the requirements for posting a thread is to include some kind of thought of your own. The way it stands, no one knows if you're in favor of what's on the video or against it.

its common for some threads to get 100 views before someone actually responds.

Sorry. 'gin it. That help?

Wow, that was painful.

Original sin (<sarcasm>YAY!!!!</sarcasm>), and everything she believes is "read" while everything else is "interpreted."

I am only halfway through, but this is painful, even with gin & tonic.

Ahh that's the secret.

alas I'm at work right now & I've got a 2 hour drive home, so a Gin & Tonic wouldn't really work right now.

She is not bad, but she still need some training.

If I were her, Shermer will surely hit his foot with his own questions, started with the very first one.

To have made it through a PhD in molecular genetics in a secular shool, and NOT be exposed to evolution... well that just blows my mind. What's more, I don't know how she said some of the things she said and kept a straight face. Or even how Shermer kept a straight face as she blathered on.

I went to a small private college, received B.S. in bio, and even I was thoroughly taught (as all my professors received their PhD's at secular institutions and were all evolutionists) the theory of evolution as FACT!

I half expected her to stop mid-sentence and, after a long pause, say "you know what I just realized... this is madness!"

Lol.. I was thinking the same thing! I was hoping she would stop mid sentence and say 'the h*ll did I just say? I make no sense whatsoever!'

IM betting hes showing how silly it is and how sad it is.

I'm 10 minutes in, listening to that women talk and I've already lost blatter control, 3 IQ points and my appetite...

Totally worth it though! That women is hilarious.

Oh, I'm sure she was exposed to it, but it was just a matter of . . . I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

Wow, at first I thought that the interviewer should challange her on numerous issues. However, letting her talk at length is the greatest counter-argument.
Eye opening post! Thanks.

How sad to see a molecular geneticist claim evolution is not evolution, and that no "Kind" of animal becomes another "Kind" of animal. I would have liked to ask how she defines "kind," in this context. Then she lies about Mt St Helens being dated to millions of years when it isn't. Also, she claims an old age for the earth is assumed rather than inferred from the evidence. Therefore, her assumptions (which are the "truth") are equal to the conclusions of mainstream science. One more question...where in the Bible does it say that "God cursed everything?" I thought she doesn't interpret the Bible like wrong people do. Just sad.
