Great satire... genius satire...
Here are some of the lyrics:
"You see this battle's been raging since Zeus was on the Bottle
between science like Democritus and faith like Aristotle
who said the mover was movin' like some magic trick
but that's not good logic
my posse's too quick
for this religious schtick.
'Cause science is the only way to know y'all,
So stand with me y'all
or you can fall, y'all
so go ahead and take your pick
[Genie]: (Yeah tell 'em dick)
[Darwin]: because if you don't know me
[Dawkins]: You don't know Dick"

Gotta love it. The "bearded man in the sky + seven days = the universe" crowd. So laughable it hurts. Or crashes airplanes into buildings.
It's a clever video, but what's the real message: people who study things aren't to be trusted.
Yeah, that's the attitude we need.
Where can I get one of those Darwin fish hats?
Saint Andeol, Hitchens' wit is soaked in whiskey, I think. Vitreol is a gel.
At first I though this was a clever pro-creationist or at least anti-Dawkins video. I went back and carefully listened to the lyrics and followed a link in the about this video section which has them written out. After that I changed my opinion of this video.
I think it is satire but it is making fun of the arrogance of people like Dawkins while basically agreeing with his assertions about the nature of reality.
I still want one of those Darwin fish hats.
silly scientists, learning things.
everyone knows observational empiricism is garbage. the answer, of course, to any mystery about the world around us is christianity. hell, next time there's a symposium on vertebrate evolution there better be a baptist pastor with an associate's degree in divinity along with all those people who have a clue of what they're talking about for, you know, balance.
