Hey all, we’ve a had a pretty big week with the upgrades but the servers endured the storm and survived. The files have gone on to replicate in a way that seems beneficial. We run 5 dedicated machines but now we have a whole new OS and way more space to live on. With regards to release times, we’ll be early and on-time from here on out, saving any problems from meteorites, dinosaurs or nukes.
OK, there are lots of changes going on the old archive comments, and I wish to selectively remove them. And because I want to is because they’re useless from me. I’m the one who done all this, and now I don’t want them anymore.
So today, I’m going to make things more better for you:

Wow! That gets the job done.
Thanks Drew! …and, good luck.
Well “A request for Drew” although your comments are useless (these also) to you, I am sure that you are pleased that the normal viewers of this board and Drew himself find them rather botherlsome and useless and classified as SPAM. Me I wish script kiddies would pick on some more deserving sites.
Drew, Jamie and ??? — don’t you have the ip from this poster? It’s fairly possible to block an ip but then again the spammer will switch ips. When I was maintaining a web site I had to ban one particularly obnoxious poster. Unfortunately I had to ban what effectively was an entire province. Hopefully some of you techies can do better.
Well guess what? I wasn’t satisfied with the comments I’ve done and now they’re useless for me. So that’s what I wanted - removing comments posted by a list of people who commented shown on the list above by A Request for Drew.
Also requested to use a different http://www.rocketboom.com ending.
i have an unplanned mind screwed up with things i don’t understand
4:20 - “…what a rotten ending…”
Drew? Drew, are you there?
Joanne I like it when you talk science! I’m having a bit of trouble picking up the sarcasm though. Just a tad. :D
Great show, excellent graphics. Also happy b-day to Abraham Lincoln, Michael McDonald, Bill Russsell, Arsenio Hall & a few others.
lp
Drew, plz tell me you got this joke? the goofball leaving all the “spam” ruined the immediate visual connotation to your post…
I bet Joanne would find great success as the voiceover for film clips at the Museum of Natural History. Could there be a spinoff in the offering, just in case a MoNH staffer is peeking in?
Ha! At 2:17 Joanne said “…just a fluke…”. Get it? Fluke; like the tail fins of whales & dolphins. Oh never mind.
Oh yeah … the eyebrow raise is back! Yummy! Haven’t seen that in such a long time I almost forgot about it but today’s made up for the absence! Yesterday’s closeup angled shot near the beginning of the show was a nice twist but very reminiscent of a time BJ (before Joanne). I know Joanne is just too classy to bring back the “AC hair toss” though.
Great lesson on evolution!
4:20 - “…what a rotten ending…”
5:43 - “…how about a sudden ending?”

I’m sorry… what did the poor mummy whale getting bitten or snagged on coral have to do with mutations??? I know you are NOT suggesting that an accident at birth becomes a genetic defect???
I think that Joanne was just narrating that animation and not bothering to point out those flaws… the rocketboom team definitely knows better than to believe that large-scale physical damage causes mutations.
I’ve got a TED talk on this topic. Watch it if you can:

“And let me tell you, the ladies loved it”
Did you also know that lesbians are jealous of whales…
AHA!
-So THAT’s why the laydeez keep Staring at me, even when they’re having dinner with their bfs; or squealing about my hands.
–I’m a Sexy Mutant with a nose on top of my head!!! :D
hmm… -now when was that Girls’ Day you are always freaking about; -16th or something?
-Oof!
Also: There was a program on PBS recently. -I want to say it was “Nova” where they talked about Dogs.
There’s this guy who purports to break at least -part- of Evolution in that it Does make quick jumps, instead of Long, Slow, Eon-ic, Trudging progress.
He says Dogs evolved from Wolves Very quickly; not nearly as long as had been thought.
I think it was here:

hey i just wanted to say that rb has become an irreproducible part of my day for the last 3 years. thank you keep up the good work
But you glossed over the most important thing evolution needs to prove - how inanimate life became animate. Just saying, “Ehh, don’t worry about how it happened” doesn’t do much for someone who really wants to know!
The theory of evolution doesn’t really cover how life forms out of “nothing”; there is no natural selection if there’s nothing to select from yet. There are other theories on how life started on Earth, but I won’t go into that right now.
LOVED IT!
i love your vlog, until the evolution, and happy b-day to Darwin issue. now i have a slight issue. seriously, there is a difference between macro and micro evolution. in the human world we call mutations cancer. i’m not a proponent of creationism. in addition, lets take a “small” change, like a lung instead of a gill. there are millions if not billions of amino acids that simultaneously have to change, this does not fit the definition of evolution and has never been observed. i could go on here, but if you really want to educate yourself then watch this video.

Hi Joshua,
I’ll start by saying that no, I didn’t watch your hour long video because I don’t have the time, and I have likely already heard all the arguments presented.
The assumption that Darwin’s theory requires macroevolution is typically a knee-jerk reaction that hasn’t received a lot of open-minded thinking. I won’t ask you to read the Origin of Species, but at least read the small excerpt from the following page:
http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CA/CA113_1.html
It does not talk about gills -> lungs, but it talks about the evolution of the eye. Tell me what you think.
Really? Who told you that lie?
Do you know the difference between macro-evolution and micro-evolution?
Microevolution is within species and there is no problem with it. Macroevolution is inbetween species. Microevolution will not yield a new species and it had ‘never’ yielded one - simply because it can’t happen.
yes dumbass, because over time evolution starts within species, but then it does start to produce new species, you should pay attention in biology. so again macroevolution is microevolution over time. please don’t try debating with us until you even know what you are talking about.
Fuck evolution, God is way cooler! :) Yeah, I know, spew your poison *2+2=4 fucktards*! :D I don’t give a fuck :P
“Fuck evolution, God is way cooler!”
Whats so cool about being created as a servant to a jealous, bloodthirsty tyrant who only wishes you to serve him and will punish you for eternity if you don’t?
But too bad for you, evolution is fact. Deal with it.
Evolution! Adam and Eve! There’s no way to say whitch theory is the right one.First there is no elo conection between the “ape” and the modern man. Still we know that there was an evolution of the modern man. Than again, can someone prove me that there’s a god? A creator? And who create the creator? (forget the bible it doesn’t prove anything) Somehow i’m going to stick whit the most probable one. The evolution.
This just in–there is neither creation nor evolution. And even if there were, it would make no pragmatic difference, one way or the other.
i think evolution for man and god are the one in the same.
I think UFOSs came on down, their inhabitants maybe said “lets splice their genetics to make smart slaves to worship us” and here we are.
Thats a God and evolution answer perhaps. Explains the missing link and why we may have been “made from the heavens in HIS image”
“there is neither creation nor evolution. And even if there were, it would make no pragmatic difference, one way or the other. ”
There IS evolution, and it DOES make a difference because we use it in practice today, such as in developing new medicines.
You are talking vivisection, which is a pseudo-science. Again, whether a god designed 10,000 diseases in Homo Sapien or whether they evolved is irrelevant.
How we go about “finding new medicines” is categorically wrong in addition to being impractical. It’s a 2-edged no-good-nik.
You have no idea what you are talking about, do you? I’m talking about studying how diseases evolve and develop immunities to treatments. Study of evolution helps us develop ways to slow and/or counter things like antibiotic resistance.
Slash-Deicide is failing to account for the fact that Allah, JC, His Daddy or even Vishnu could have blueprinted this
“evolution of diseases and immunities.”
It’s the diseases themselves which are the problem, whether mechanically drawn by gods or machined by the “Blind Watchmaker of Nature.” Thus, in such a planet wherein irrationality (diseases, defects, both mental and physical) is king, the studiers of the disorders are always light years behind.
“Slash-Deicide is failing to account for the fact that Allah, JC, His Daddy or even Vishnu could have blueprinted this
“evolution of diseases and immunities.”"
No I’m not. It’s possible something did “blueprint” evolution. But that does not change the fact that it is still evolution.
Maybe there is a god! Maybe someone did create us. Maybe not. Maybe… we just can’t tell. The thing is we think.We all know that whe’re alive and thinking is our must importante ability. Every single one of us has a diferent opinion, that make us believe that somehow we’re close to the truth… One thing i believe i know is that i don’t know how whe become flesh, and i believe that no one can be completely accurate of how we got here. Maybe when someone builds a machine to travel on time.
“Explains the missing link”
Yea, maybe it would if we hadn’t already found the “missing link” over 50 years ago.
everlost82,
But there IS a way to say if Evolution is right. The evidence is there to support it. And the whole Adam and Eve idea is not in the same category as evolution. It can hardly even be considered a hypothesis, it is a totally baseless claim and is logically incoherent.
And yes there is a known connection between modern day humans and our ape-like ancestors. There is a long list of about 20 or 25 transitional forms.
such as? And please don’t give me, lucy, java, pilt, and the rest of the misnomers.
I’ll send you the list through a private message, cuz they might not fit in these boxes.
“please don’t give me, lucy, java, pilt, and the rest of the misnomers. ”
How are they misnomers? Except for piltdown man which was a hoax. And it was “evolution scientists” that identified it as a hoax so don’t give me any conspiracy theory crap.
tittidii ja eikun vaan..kunnon selvitystä ja rän tän tää
boring shit and she is dum
when fallen man denies God, he will believe anything, no matter how ludicrous, like evolution, Darwin, and clowns like Obama Nation.
So a guy living inside of a whale, a talking serpent, a guy that builds a boat to house 2 of every type of animal on the planet, and a guy that parts the Red Sea isn’t ludicrous? Evolution may sound strange, but no stranger than the aforementioned. If God exists then he certainly created Charles Darwin correct? Why is it so difficult to think that your God didn’t devise evolution? This explanation of evolution however is a satire and is in no way accurate.
There is no evidence that Adam and Eve ever existed, there is concrete evidence of evolution,the only debatable case is the first form of all living things, there are theories behind this, the only thing that can be said is that man has undergone many changes as well as birds, fish, and other creatures over the years.
nothing has had any changes. dinosaurs were the same when God made them, and just the same when they went extinct. You are too dumb, dude. Man has had no changes at all since Adam and Eve, other than we have had microevolution to make three different races–white, negro, and oriental.
most people believe in miracles, it’s the stupid liberals that have a problem with it.
You called me too dumb…. well that’s your opinion, but intellect is another example of evolution, sure it’s a particular part of man’s body that has evolved but it is a form of evolution none-the-less. A lot of creationists don’t believe that Dinosaurs ever existed. Even your so called “microevolution” would still be evolution and change in the species. So you just contradicted yourself. You are stating that man hasn’t had any changes but then had changes. Who is the dumb one now?
It’s people that believe that political standpoints have any sort of relevance to the concept of evolution that breed idiocy.
is it just me or is the girl on here really hot! Email me if you get this hot girl!!!!
Nice, now every kid thinks genes are jeans… *lol*
News– Just Out– Nov. 26- attending religious services reduces one’s chances of death by twenty percent.
This proves my assertion that atheism is evil.
Prove that attending religious services reduces the chance of death. Go ahead. Oh wait, you can’t. Know why? Because what you just said is nothing but lies.
Nice genes.
It just proves that spending hours in boring churches is physically less harmful that having fun doing cool stuff outside (parachute, motorbike, sex, alcohol,…), it’s certainly not a proof of mental/spiritual superiority.
Christians do things too, I sail, surf, play guitar, record music, travel the world. Jesus brings peace. Peace.
Nice video,great work..I want a nose on my back! :) j/k
Funny the 4 things you named do make you more likely to die. I guess if you are doing that while I am sitting in a “boring church” I am more likely to make it out alive.
no it’s true, just probably not due to god’s influence. Attending religious services is a massive stress reducer. It’s moral support that reduces the chances of heart attack, suicide, etc.
man has not changes but he has?
also there are a lot more than 3 races. you got black, white, and yellow. What about brown and red?
adam and eve was never supposed to be a scientific theory. It was never supposed to make sense in that regard. You’re supposed to either assume that it is not meant to be taken literally or have faith that the unlikely is fact since god said it was and god has proven himself in other ways over and over again.
stop trying to treat religious concepts like scientific theories
globetrekker2,
haha, I hope this was a joke. I think it was, but I’m not sure. ummmmmm, A) last time I checked one’s chances of death are 100%, and B) you need to provide some evidence of this claim. That is, of course, if this is not a joke, but if it is, funny. : )
globetrekker2 - life expectancy has many different causes many of them have nothing to do with religious belief.
So either your lying or are severely misinformed.
there is no god you dumbasses
that woman speaking gives me a hard on
If there was a Jesus and he loved me … then he would allow me to reproduce with that woman on this video.
Actually, I disagree. God is within. I am made of the sun … which is my creator.
That is why my body is my temple. 1Corinthians6:19 - Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
To further prove my point the holy ghost is the sun. look at the first words of the bible. — Genesis1:1-2 1In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. The Holy spirit is the sun. God is the sun of god…not a man god as pagans believe (Christians). God is everything as I am everything.
So your no god theory was just debunked by me. lol Everything is god including man. Everything is connected and the whole is god.
is god up my ass too? if he’s everywhere then he’s up my bass
man the creationists are gonna trot this shit around :-p
there in no God you fool
