Smug and Stupid
(Emphasis mine)
As per common on PZ's Blog, the comments are ruthless.
<snip intro>
I watched the whole thing, appalled. Heres a summary of just the first few minutes if you get sickened by this, you dont need to watch the rest, its all the same.
Shes reading an explanatory panel at the start of the exhibit. It says,
At first, all eukaryotes were single-celled, and many still are today.
This baffles her. She hasnt heard of this word, eukaryote, before the camera man tells her how to pronounce it and shes already stumped.
"This makes no sense. No sense."
What makes no sense? Two billion years ago, all eukaryotes were single-celled. There werent any multicellular organisms yet. Frogs, people, salmon, and fruit flies all evolved much, much later. But yeast, paramecia, and algae, all single-celled eukaryotes, still exist today.
Clearly, it makes no sense to Megan Fox. But her stupidity and incomprehension of simple logic is not an indictment of the scientists at the Field Museum. When a simple fact about the world confuses her, I think I know where the problem lies.
She keeps on reading. Her confusion and anger grows.
