Exposing Discovery Institute Part 5: Günter Bechly Again (Because He’s So Stupid)

Remember when Gunter Bechly was tasked with the damage control regarding my devastating piece on Casey Luskin? The previous installment in this series dealt with the lies he told in there. But of course someone had to run the same damage control for my piece on Stephen Meyer, and guess who it was? Gunter again! So let's dive into his pathetic series of blog posts attempting to salvage Meyer's credibility and character assassinate yours truly, so that everyone can be perfectly aware of his ridiculous tactics. Isn't it fun to expose charlatans?

Check out "Is This Wi-Fi Organic?", my book on disarming pseudoscience!

"Mr. Farina! Here! GO, GO, GO, GO!" will never get old. What an excellent personal coach that guy is

The end of the Bill Nye / Ken Ham debate sums up all these debates very well.

Bill Nye: If you can give me empirical evidence that god exists, I will change my view point and believe in god. Would you do the same?
Ken Ham: Nope, blind faith.

I'm sorry I can't take any of this seriously because it's not written on a chalkboard.

The more I hear of creationists lies, the more I realize they argue like flat earthers.
Start with the conclusion, ignore any evidence against the conclusion, and claim victory.

[jvalfin]

Yes! Expose all the frauds. They must be held accountable. A force like them require an equal if not a bigger force to counter them.

[PhDTony_original]

Phenomenal work. These guys are unrepentant liars and frauds attempting to undermine science communication. Your evisceration of them is skilful and entirely warranted.

Also, I learn a lot watching your material - thank you.

"Don't forget the classic Hitler reference even though Christians seem to repeatedly forget that he was one of them."
Hitler also dabbled in quite a variety of pagan and cultic practices and believed a variety of wild things, it's hard to put an exact label on his religious beliefs but one thing is certain: even if he was faking the Christianity stuff (as many Christians say), he still was loudly promoting it because he knew it would help his movement.

ID: Some fossils are too similar to tell which ones are ancestral.
Also ID: Supposed transitional fossils are never similar enough.

And on the eighth day, Professor dave evolved to debunk creationist nonsense

[silviu-georgepantelimon]

I love these debunkings so much. Not only does Dave destroy these wimpy charlatans, he does it with style and well researched sources.

4:45 "I have reconstructed this jigsaw puzzle, and clearly see a picture of a suspension bridge, even though I am missing several pieces."

Bechley: "No, you are missing pieces, so you can't draw that conclusion. Anyway, it's a picture of bee, because I say so."

[josiahdubree]

as a pretty disillusioned former christian i appreciate you taking the time to debunk people that use shallow arguments as a weapon to further their agendas. information is a weapon they’re not qualified to handle

[gogudelagaze]

I didn't even know about this Discovery Institute and how influential it is until this series. Thanks a lot, Dave! It boggles the mind that such delusional people have any kind of influence...

[mikotagayuna]

One of my favorite fantasies as of late is seeing Dave debating and demolishing every DI figurehead 1v1 like some science Bruce Lee going up the DI office building Game of Death style.

[bathroom_wizard]

Your effort to produce these and not let their lies and underhanded tactics go unchecked is appreciated.

[LiverpoolReject]

As someone who was sadly taught this in homeschool, I'm so glad you are exposing them!

[scar]

Idk why but there's something addicting about these debunking videos. Keep up the good work Prof. Dave!!

[BlueBarrier]

And now Joe Rogan is having Discovery Institute people on his show . . . That dude is the king of platforming scientific disinformation and misinformation at this point.

[MM-hi]

Thanks for exposing these complete pieces of garbage, the fact that they're able to delude so many people is just sad to see, keep fighting the good fight Dave!

[syzygy]

For your headaches dealing with these people.. 😅
My appendix, lack of wisdom teeth, tailbone, nictitating membrane in my eye, jacobsons organ and arrector pilli muscles tell me different.
