Does PBS KIDS Count as “Scientific Studies”?

Posted on February 26, 2018 by A Bit Of Orange

In the comments section of the A Bit Of Orange YouTube channel, we get a lot of “words of encouragement” from people whose main message to us is, “Here’s something I think you don’t know!” and “You’re an idiot!” And sometimes “This guy is an idiot!” Then they try to educate me and demonstrate their solid grasp of unsubstantiated blanket assertions.

One such loyal viewer and subscriber said the following: “Studies in paleontology, geology, radiation, cosmology and genetics have all yielded results which overwhelmingly support  a model of earth’s history in which life first appeared on this planet as single celled organisms over 3.5 billion years ago and gradually became more and more diverse from that time until this.”

You’d be interested to see what studies he is referring to in all of those fields and the ways in which they do support the evolutionary timeline. I would also be interested in all of those studies, as he never offered even a single one of them. Apparently I am just to take his word that they exist and assume he has read them all.

Pinterest, Perverts, and the Prophet Mohammed

Posted on February 23, 2018 by A Bit Of Orange

So I found this on Pinterest. Naturally, I was rolling my eyes about the attempt to use a poorly drawn cartoon meme to normalize all kinds of sin, folly, and self destruction*. 

And I’m all, “Geepers guys, why can’t you just break out the book of Leviticus, flip on over to chapter 18 and figure out…”

Wait… Continue reading →

Racism and the Fallacy of Composition

Posted on February 21, 2018 by A Bit Of Orange

Various racist groups commit the fallacy of composition when they decide that because some black people are lazy and stupid that all of them must be lazy and stupid. The fact is, there are many who are not. 

Similarly, these racists assume that, because they can find a person who is both black AND lazy and stupid that there is some causative connection between blackness and laziness and stupidity. When all the facts are in, it becomes clear that it is asinine to believe that the density of melanin in the skin could have an effect on the character of the person. Continue reading →

Black Lives Matter… or do they?

Posted on February 19, 2018 by A Bit Of Orange

The liberal ideology expressed recently in the Black Lives Matter movement seems to be a contradiction. They assert that

black people are oppressed by white people

black people are poor and disadvantaged and white people are rich and privileged

black people have poor schooling and white people have good schools

black people have little or no influence in culture, business and government and white people have all the power in culture, business and government

and yet

somehow

they also assert that we are equal.

But How?

Debunking the Debunking of the Flat Earth

Posted on February 16, 2018 by A Bit Of Orange

I stumbled upon this video not long ago, and it contains a section which is both sad and funny, which serves as a good cautionary tale.

The video as a whole is intended to debunk the debunking of the flat earth. The section which interests me is about 2 1/2 minutes in, and it is where the Flat Earth Debunker offers his proof #2 for why the earth is NOT flat: The phases of the moon. Image result for phases of the moon Continue reading →

Soft Tissue in Dinosaurs? Is that a thing?

Posted on February 14, 2018 by A Bit Of Orange

Fossils are just bone which has been replaced with rock- a bone shaped piece of rock with no bone left in it. Right?

Not always! Sometimes a fossil is fresh enough to eat.

When Mary Schwitzer found soft tissue in a T Rex bone in the 1990’s, the world collectively wet their scientific pants.* Schwitzer herself was so surprised that she uttered the now famous exclamation of scientific discovery which has resonated with female scientists working in the field all over the world:

“Cool beans.”

-M. Schweitzer**

Yet, when you dig into the research, you can find similar discoveries for decades before that. I’ve seen examples dating back to the 1920’s.

But is this a fluke? Or is this a piece of normal science that has been kept hidden for obvious funding related reasons? Check out the link below and you’ll see more than 40 examples of dinosaur fossils found with original soft tissue from within my lifetime.

Did the dinosaurs die out 65 MILLION years ago? No Chemical Way my friends. NO Chemical way. Those babies are fresher than King Ramses II.

The dream of the DinoBurger is closer than ever. Warm up the grill and start making fries!

Darwin Did Not Believe Evolution

Darwin did not believe evolution. I know that is hard to hear. In fact, many of you will assume I am being sarcastic, but I think I can make a case.  Continue reading →

Game of Thrones Star PROVES EVOLUTION FALSE!

Posted on February 10, 2018 by A Bit Of Orange


Or… maybe this is just a meme.

Either way, the annual day of throwing off the shackles of religious indoctrination (i.e. Darwin) and choosing to do some free thinking (i.e. asking questions my college Biology 101 teacher REFUSED to allow in his classroom) is coming up February 12th!

The Darwinian Tree of Right and Wrong (or, These Dinner Rolls are to DIE For!)

Posted on February 9, 2018 by A Bit Of Orange

Remember Darwin’s TREE OF LIFE? At the base is bacteria- the first universal common ancestor- and then at the top is us humans and other things which live with us today like squirrels and humming birds and moose and cuttlefish and the dwarf globe blue spruce and Shia LaBeouf. In between are all of the creatures that we evolved from, like worms and fish and such. And maybe Shia LaBeouf again.

If you follow your own family line back through your parents and grandparents, all the way back to the bacteria, you will find a bunch of different species. In a nutshell, you will find bacteria, worms, fish, amphibians, lizards, mammals, primates, humans. That’s your long, long list of evolutionary grandparents,

from Goo to You by way of the Zoo!

From GOO to YOU by way of the ZOO!
