For the internet-challenged people who can't watch this video (like us), here is a writeup of this, um. Event.

We were just at this museum in October and stumbled into this exhibit, making this person's claims funnier for me. For the record, it's a truly excellent exhibit that can be understood on many levels--young children through adults. It is quite broad yet comprehensive, and explains in very clear and simple (and unarguable) terms how plants and animals evolve. So the commentary from this woman is a really good demonstration of willful ignorance and bias. Her comment about animals just growing feet from fins is a testament to her completely not getting at all what the display--and scientific method--and the theory of evolution-- are about. At all.

I would love to hear this woman's take on the exhibit at the very nearby Chicago Museum of Science of Industry called Prenatal Development, which features real embryos, fetuses and a fully developed baby, all, of course, dead, and floating in fluid and on display.

A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR

Quote[about fish-tetrapod evolution] “It’s not like their fins fell off and they grew feet! That’s what they want you to believe, that their fins fell off and then they grew some feet and started walking on the land. This is the dumbest theory I’ve ever heard in my whole life. It’s not good, it’s really not good. It’s bad. It’s very bad. Do you know how complex feet are?”

I guess these fish didn't get the memo.

There should be a trap door in front of that exhibit. Soylent Green truck below.

I think the strongest argument against evolution is the mere fact that this woman exists.  She should have been hit by a bus or something by now.

It's an even stronger argument against intelligent design though. :p
