1. Beware the Believers

How anybody can read the lyrics and think that a creationist wrote them is beyond me.

Whoever made this video is a HUGE fan of the scientists in it and knows the issues well and is up-to-date on the whole Expelled thing. I see nothing but affection in the caricatures in the video.

The only way that this came from the Expelled camp is if they commissioned someone to do it and then got totally fucked over. Because this video makes the scientists look totally badass. Sure, they're arrogant, but that's because they're right.

I've been trying again and again to try to see this as being made by a creationist, and it just doesn't ever make any sense that way.

By the way, I've watched this so many times that my 6-year-old now has "Dick to the Dawk to the PhD" stuck in her head and keeps singing it. lol

I think the maker of this video is quite obviously a fan of RD and PZ There's even a "framing" reference in there, so that's only going to come from someone who's paying attention to Pharyngula.

I think the scientists come off looking like badasses with a whole "Do NOT fuck with us" vibe. It's awesome.
