1. Her body language gives away her vast stupidity...Very arrogant as in

"i know more than all of the greatest minds in the history of the world because i have a laptop and i can shrug my shoulders"

I cant take this anymore, this person MUST NOT be allowed to vote, dammit

her arrogance, i am sorry but this just makes me angry, doesnt make me laugh

but it should, i know

[trusty elf]

2. This has to be a spoof.

It's too good (bad) to be true.

[Botany]

12. Afraid not

BTW I could only make 90 seconds into her the world is 6,000 yrs old crap.

[Fred Sanders]

17. "To me, that is a no brainer". She does speak some truth. Scary, these firmly held beliefs zombies.

[Thor_MN]

29. I like how she thinks smacking her lips proves a point...

Even if one could take seriously that the buybull was mostly literal, she believes that there are no gaps in ? Take her back, say a mere 400 years, and I guarantee a bulb as dim as hers would leave zero trace in any historical record.

There's something Palinesque in her cadence and expressions. I have to think it's some sort of pathology..

[Botany]

30. it is a spoof after all .....

.... she is part of a group called "Christians Against Dinosaurs."

I do love the world is only 6,000 years old stuff because it may take up to 10 million
years or more to make a gallon of oil.

[Thor_MN]

31. If it' a spoof, she does a good impression of Palin's mannerisms

Thankfully, she doesn't have Palin's whiny, nasal tone.

[Botany]

3. Well that was a yawner. nt

[phylny]

4. Damn, girl. Get your hair out of your face.

Does she know she's about to become the laughing stock of the Internet?

[Gothmog]

5. This lady is an idiot

[COLGATE4]

6. Absolutely breathtaking in its arrogance

and stupidity. This is what Sarah Palin thinks a smart woman looks like.

[MiniMe]

7. I just can't take that much stupidity on a Saturday morning!

[earthside]

8. It is satire.

I'm in the CAD Facebook group and this has got to be one of the funniest things ever.

The thing is that I know more and more people who actually think and believe like this.
There is a faction of the Tea Party-Repuglican, religious-right that have become so reactionary that they reject almost anything with the words "science" or "government" associated with it.

A perfect foil for devastating satire.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. This may be satire, but there are people who actually think this way.

A few months ago, a guy that I work with was reading an article in the paper about ancient whale fossils being found on the banks of the Potomac River. The fossils were estimated to be 15 million years old. What a discovery, right?

Wrong. He snorted and said "Yeah, right. As if anything can be that old."

On most things, he is a very intelligent guy, but he thinks the earth was created no more than 6K years ago. No surprise that he doesn't believe in evolution and thinks climate change is a hoax.

[ladjf]

9. I've read thousands of ops on DU over the years. But, this young lady is perhaps

the most ignorant and arrogant poster yet.

The most annoying aspect of her presentation was her complete confidence that her little display of broken rock completely disproved the work of thousands of trained and dedicated paleontologists from all over the World.

Her cutesy pie mannerisms reminded me of Mrs. Palin. It's just the kind of stuff that loony
right wingers love. I particularly noticed the four fingers gesture she used to designate that the word "fossils" was perhaps an illegitimate term, a fabrication by scientists.

She, in a two minute discussion, has attempted to totally debunk what is probably the most certain history known to the human race, namely, the 4.5 billion year history of the Earth as clearly and literally written in stone.

[MrMickeysMom]

10. Satire entertains the mind… This is mindless Palin-tology!

She is trying out to be the next Sarah Palin… She has the "I'm sexy and stupid" part down pretty well, I'd say.

Yessiree… Palintology is a rich field to get into!

[Archae]

13. This can't be real...can it?

It just looks too much like satire, no one is really THAT stupid...err...right?

[Adam051188]

14. her tone, gesticulation and body language remind me of Tom Cruise jumping on a couch.

just like an energy industry exec talking about climate science. same thing.

[Leith]

15. Did She Actually Claim

That the idea of dinosaurs came before the first dinosaur bone was found? Very wrong.

They were known in China from about the year 265. In the western world, the first dinosaur bones were found in the late 1600s. They were assumed to be bones of iguanas or creatures from the bible. The word dinosaur was first coined in 1841 (or 1842, depending on the source).

In fact, this little idiot is wrong about everything and just a little too smug in her lack of knowledge. Quite frankly, people like her are kooks.

[Botany]

19. Well didn't you know that all fossils are from bones?

?lbisphpreq=1

And that in a fossil the original material is replaced with stuff like gypsum
and limestone.

[cab67]

26. More specifically,

some dinosaur taxa were known (and named) before Dinosauria was established - Megalosaurus in 1822, Iguanodon in 1825, Hylaeosaurus in 1832, and so on.

This is why I think this is satire. Too many of the whoppers are far too easily debunked with far too little effort for it to be otherwise.

[Leith]

33. I Don't Think It's Satire

We have all seen people that completely (and willfully) stupid. She's the real deal.

[Enthusiast]

38. I wondered where she came up with that claim.

[Moostache]

16. I did not think "Palin"....I thought "Christine O'Donnell"...

"I'm not a witch...I'm you."

The internet is replete with morons who video tape themselves making long pontificating monologues of themselves being arrogant tools. The creationist/anti-science crowd that WANT to be told things that support their ridiculous world views on biblical literacy and inerrancy flock to this manure like flies to the real thing.

I just wish the stoopid actually hurt because these people deserve to be in pain.

[20score]

18. It's satire.

Told myself I was done with DU, except to lurk once in awhile. But I had to say something.

She is pretty, she's not stupid, it's satire at the expense of fanatics.

[Veilex]

20. There's no overt indicator that the video is satire.

Normally with satire, there is always a subtle tip-of-the-hat to clue people in. If you watch the video objectively, you'll note that nod to the crowd is decidedly missing.

Based off what I've seen, and in the vacuum of any additional evidence, this does not appear to be satire.

[20score]

22. I watched a few more videos from this group. It's satire.

[Jacoby365]

27. Which christains against dinosaurs group?

28. Having a problem copying the link on my phone. But,

if you hit the link under the YouTube video, Christians Against Dinosaurs, it will bring you to a list of their videos.

[Jacoby365]

35. Thank you!

[NBachers]

23. I think she says paleontologist and paleontology too well to be as stupid as she seems.

She makes a great point, but I think her pronunciation and mannerisms are too clear. I don't think she's really mind-numb and brain-impaired as she implies. Who knows how many takes it took to look that chokingly stupid.

I'm sure there are those in the right-wing Christian world who are dumber than that pile of rocks on the table, but I think this is satire.

Also, Brachiosaurus, which she pronounces pretty well, was about 9 meters tall, not 40 meters tall.

[Enthusiast]

37. What great point does she make?

I didn't hear a single one.

[passiveporcupine]

40. that science is only ten or fifteen years old

[NBachers]

41. The great point is to expose vapid stupidity, willful ignorance, and contempt for truth.

Stupidity, ignorance, and contempt are used by bleevers to support a lame, fictitious superstition.

Bleevers have no facts on their side, so they have to resort to lies, emotion, and intimidation.

By imitating and exaggerating these qualities, she is exposing them. It is mockery on her part.

Also- If you check out the YouTube video on large screen, you'll notice that the body language of the Palinesque attributes are more appropriate for a stripper pole, not Christian Worship.

Also, on large screen, you can see that the "rocks" are chopped-up drywall chunks. You can even see the drywall paper peeling off them.

You're also welcome to check out the Christians Against Dinosaurs Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Christians-against-dinosaurs/869056093104638

21. The lack of understanding of how paleontology actually works is glaring.

Also note the typical conservative personal value projection of "If you want to keep your job, then....". Conservatives always seem to presume the world is like them, and just wants to do whatever it takes to "keep their job" rather than maintain professional integrity.

[Plucketeer]

24. IF this was done in ernest

she's dumber than the "rocks" she mocks.

[blkmusclmachine]

34. Crazy talk.

[Enthusiast]

36. She is in a deep state of ignorance.

[Enthusiast]

39. She has completely ignored the fact that many "articulated" dinosaur fossils have been found.

She holds up random sedimentary layers and says, "Make a dinosaur." Palinesque.

[roguevalley]

42. this is an idiot using religion. there would be no improvement without it.
