This clip was taken from the show "Conspiracy Road Trip: Creationism," where comedian Andrew Maxwell takes five British creationists to the west coast of America to try to convince them that evolution rather than creationism explains how we all got here.
So, why did I crop this clip from the show? Because I want to demonstrate the dishonesty of faith.Take a look and pay attention on what happens when creationist Browyn (the girl with the short dark hair) SEES THE EVIDENCE for human evolution through the fossil record.
Ignoring the part where Abdul, the Muslim creationist, says he "has never seen a case of natural selection causing one species to evolve into another" despite we can actual OBSERVE species-to-species transitions through a process called Speciation, lets cut to the the core of the problem in this video. Here is the transcript for Browyn. JoJo: What would change your mind? Honestly? Browyn: Nothing. And I know, that sounds so narrow minded. JoJo: It doesn't sound-- Browyn: It is! I don't want to be the person who is like 'okay, just come on this trip for 10 days and nothing you show me will change my mind.' That is like like [hand motion]. But at the same time, I just can't. I really can't even tell you, because of the faith that I have. If I started to accept all of this, then I have to go and accept that everything else is a load of crap. And I don't accept that."
THERE IT IS!!! "BECAUSE OF THE FAITH THAT I HAVE."
Even with the physical evidence laid out right in front of her, Browyn and creationists like her refuse to change their minds and accept the facts. Why? Because their faith demands that they deny reality and embrace a fantasy. This is not just willful ignorance, this is dimension, a deliberately induced delusion.
