Here’s another wild creationist claim that just popped up from the YouTube algorithm. It’s a shouting match between a Muslim creationist (Subboor Ahmad) and an individual from the crowd, who is challenged to define evolution. He says “natural selection plus mutation,” which prompts this furious response from Ahmad.
If it’s natural selection plus random mutations, it becomes epigenetics
.
What? No it’s not. That’s absurd. It just tells me that Subboor Ahmad knows nothing about evolution.
It also includes a clip of an encounter between Ahmad and Aron Ra, in which Aron correctly points out that drift is the major driver of evolutionary change, and Ahmad blows up in fury and accuses him of being drunk.
I don’t get why random people on the street would debate evolution in the first place. Do we have to have an opinion about everything?
Dunning Kruger plus religious fervor is ugly to behold.
Did you see this article about Dumb Idiot Ham training and brainwashing K9 units at his putrid attraction yet, PZ?

Did you catch the “I’m not someone who gets angry often”? Priceless.
“What? No it’s not. That’s absurd. It just tells me that Subboor Ahmad knows nothing about evolution.”
The thing is, this is not supposed to be an actual answer. Kind of like “AI” LLMs, it is something that is intended to sound like an answer, without any need to understand either the question or what an answer would be.
