The Ignorance Among Us
I was just surfing through some of the YouTube clips available for the Athiest Experience (lot of good stuff out there). From arguments of the whole banana thing (and there are other banana thing (for some reason Mike Seaver (sorry, Kirk Cameron) and this Ray Comfort guy thing the banana is proof of a god because it’s shaped so nicely in the hand (it’s also shaped nicely to be shoved in certain places, if you know what I mean), there are even spoofs of this idea, that are hilarious). But one clip from a past episode (I think maybe a year ago, I don’t know. It’s based in Austin, TX, so I’m limited to checking out past eps on Google video and a few clips on YouTube.
Anyway, this particular clip features a caller that’s, I don’t want to sound rude or mean, but is just a moron, okay.
If you have issues with YouTube or aren’t too fond of watching video online, or have audio issues, basically, the converstation leads to that if the sun is a source of energy, then why don’t we die. Then it gets to the fact that we, as humans, well, animals in general, produce our own electricity (powers our muscles, this is basic knowledge). Well, this caller, let’s just say the neurons weren’t firing in science class, because he follows up with the dumbest question: “then why don’t we get electrocuted when we take showers.”
So, the host just points great little sites and such this person and anyone like it to check out, because, honestly, if I were him, I would’ve hung up with the “why don’t we die when the sun goes down.” Brave to the hosts from the Athiest Experience who have more patience than me.
