SCIENCE!!! 👽👻

I had to replay the beginning, but at 0.75X speed so I could understand what Elijah was saying. I still like this series!

Not inclusive

Neal wants his son to learn about evolution- that’s a worthwhile goal. But why not go about it in a positive way, and not insulting the other side at every turn? Honestly, I didn’t learn much about evolution in this episode. All I learned was that the host believes in it, and things that it should be taught in school. And he gives the feeling that people who believe in Biblical Creation are foolish. But there are many creationist scientists. Science is a broad world, and every point of view has a right to be heard, with its evidence.
