Not going to lie... I thought this was a comedy skit.

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

I didn't see anyone getting owned.  Creationists had the floor for 12 minutes and an evolutionist had a chance to respond for 3 minutes.  If owning someone means being given the most time, evolutionists had the edge, I suppose, although it was just the usual creationist tripe like Life is too complex.  It had to have a designer.  I guess they don't think much of Darwin and all the science and discovery that followed him.  Too bad they don't have any research to point to.  But that's not what creationism does.  It's just a series of assertions.

It's ridiculous that they even allowed that on air. The news anchor didn't even let the third person or the actual scientist to speak. I guess who ever published the video thinks that "owning" someone just means hogging the camera's time, or being flat out stubborn.

Edit: (Thanks for the link fix btw, Wolf)

Sounds like a tactic refined by Faux News with that old show Hanity and Combes.  They get this guy Hanity, a world class bully, and put him up against a "liberal" wimp who couldn't get his own show on MSNBC.  It played like the Harlem Globetrotters vs. the Washington Generals.
Freedom is Free.  It\'s included in Democracy.  Democracy is Hard.  It involves coexisting with people who think that sayings like "Freedom is not Free" actually makes some kind of sense.

You've heard of the low budget movies made to go straight to DVD.  This was a TV program made to go straight to Utube.  Well, it seemed like it, anyway. :-D

I don't know whether to laugh my ass off or lose all hope for humanity.

For a creationist, that trolling wasn't very... creative.

Why is asking a simple question trolling?

It's not.  Asking such an obviously trollish question is, though.  (If you don't understand why asking atheists whether we "believe in" evolution, you won't last here very long.  There's nothing to believe in - evolution occurs as certainly as rain does.  Do you "believe in" rain?)

And to add to what Colanth said; you didn't even introduce yourself.

Well of course I believe in rain, it is something that has actually been observed in nature.  Sorry but asking for belief in evolution is valid because there are many scientists who do not believe in it.  Comparing evolution to rain is illogical.
