    Go Bots, as Snorks, were the K-Mart version of their JC Penny/Sears counterparts.

    Don't fault them for being budget.

    One time I opened my toy box and I saw Optimus Prime and Starscream teaming up to beat the shit out of Leader 1. True story.

    Well, they'd have us believe that the entire construct of life itself simply occurred by method of intelligent design.

    Here's a bunch of vertically challenged humans making something within that construct better.

    So that's why I'm all like "in yo face".

    i don't think creationists claim that life is supposed to be perfect

    i think they actually have a quite opposite view, that the world is imperfect by design

    Also, people, please stop using Creationism and Intelligent Design interchangeably. They are not the same thing.

    Creationism is a literal interpretation of the biblical creation story from the bible. Genesis and 6 days. All that jazz.

    Intelligent Design has more to do with a hodge podge of beliefs, but ultimately the concept comes down to saying "X is so unique and so complex that it couldn't possibly have just randomly evolved through mutations or selective breeding, it had to come from a higher power that put thought or order into the system". It's pseudo science. Changes may occur over time, but god was doing it in his heavenly biology lab.

    This is a good attack on creationists because creationist don't believe in evolution, or if they do they don't believe in what they call "macro evolution" (the evolution of one species into another).
    The video shows a fossil record of one species evolving into another so...

    and there are variants of intelligent design which believe that evolution and all that is how it works, god just set it up that way

    deist style

    which is a perfectly reasonable viewpoint for a religious person to take
