Senator Asks For Proof Of Evolution, Discovers He Doesn't Actually Understand What It Is

Wikipedia defines evolution as "the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations." Creationism, on the other hand, is defined as "the religious belief that life, the Earth, and the universe are the creation of a supernatural being."

Key difference: Evolution is part of science. Creationism is part of belief systems.

In Louisiana, a movement to help get creationism taught in science classes hit a snag when this snappy teacher decided to stand up and explain how it isn't actually science. As the state senator starts asking questions, it becomes clear that he doesn't actually know how evolution works...

Just watch the video. The degree of stoopid exhibited will not disappoint.

1. PBS did a program in which the theory of evolution vs. creationism was tried in court.

Evolution won.


That was in modern times. Back in the day, it also won, in the Scopes trial.

Oh, wait. A Louisiana Republican?

Never mind.
