Art reflects truth
March 29, 2008 – 3:49 pm by William WallaceMy guess: this is in fact Eminem thumping on the PT-mafia, though they are too stupid to realize it. Probably in cooperation with the producers of Expelled.

For those who don’t want to, or cannot, hit the play button (e.g., if youtube is blocked, or you loathe rap music) here are the transcript and lyrics:
* * *
Opening credits: Ministry of Science Propaganda. BEWARE THE BELIEVERS THEY ARE AMONG US! Reporting Idiocy isn’t really squealing.
Richard Dawkins as MC: Ladies and gentleman, we are on the cusp of a glorious age. The age of the machine.
Crowd gasps at sight of machine.
Richard Dawkins: We appreciate your concern. It is noted, and stupid. After all, we are scientists; much, much smarter than you. But perhaps, a little demonstration will set your minds at ease.
Fades to laboratory.
A Scientist peering into a microscope: Hey, Wallace, take a look at this.
Darwinist pops up from behind lab bench, looks into microscope: Big deal. Natural selection creates that sort of thing every day.
Scientist, as Darwinist walks away: Natural selection? I think there is something else going on here.
Darwinist furtively radios back to PT-mafia: Big gadget, little tool. We’ve got ourself a situation.
The Machine busts through laboratory wall, snatches first scientist with lobster like claw, and throws him from an university tower after stamping “Expelled” on his head. The Expelled scientist’s head crashes into and cracks lens for effect.
Fade to Richard Dawkins as MC: I wish I could take full credit for the machine’s development. For its efficient expulsion of so-called scientists, its unwavering rejection of your quaint but ludicrous notions about the origins of life. But the story of the machine began well before I arrived on the scene. For that, we present this little diddy:
Richard Dawkins snaps his finger, and is transformed into Eminem
Richard Dawkins, with PZ Myers providing backup: My name is D to the I to C to the K, Yeah I’m the Dickie D, I gots my Ph.D. and coming your way on the Youtube to bust your world view so just listen to me and don’t you argue.
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 unmoving like some magic trick but that’s no good logic, my posse is far too quick for this religious shtick.
[Be]cause science is the only way to know y’all, you stand with me y’all, or you can fall y’all So go ahead and take your pick…
Eugenie Scott: Yeah you tell him Rick …
Charles Darwin: [Be]cause if you don’t know me …
Richard Dawkins: You don’t know dick!!!
PZ Myers leading the chorus : Yeah he’s the Dick to the Dawk to the Ph.D.,
he’s smarter than you he’s got a science degree!
Yeah he’s the Dick to the Dawk to the Ph.D.,
he’s smarter than you he’s got a science degree!
Unknown: On the shoulders of midgets we built up this machine,
Daniel Dennett: Yeah!!!
Richard Dawkins: Science silenced that watchdog wingnut Paley [1] growing stronger and harder almost daily, storming Wilber by force[2] as we framed the discourse that faith and science are split in schismatic divorce.
Then Darwin took to the seas to see what no one had seen, and ever since then we’ve been increasingly keen, they may never adore us, but they’ll no longer ignore us, give it to them PZ hit these [BLEEPED] with the chorus!!!
Chorus: Yeah he’s the Dick to the Dawk to the Ph.D.,
he’s smarter than you he’s got a science degree!
The Dick to the Dawk to the Ph.D.,
he’s still smarter than you he studied biology!
Richard Dawkins: Then there was Darrow dukin’ it out with the straight and the narrow,
a raging bull in the ring, he did his thing, and took it on the chin like he was Bobby De Niro.
We might have lost at Scopes, beaten down by the dopes, and the stooges of popes, but in losin’ we coped, becoming more than we hoped, creationists slipped on the soap[3] of their own slippery slope.
What was impossible, improbable, is now wholly unstoppable untoppleable, the Dick Doc’ll roll up as you creationists foldup
you haters talkin’ bull, don’t you know that this Dick is un-cock-frickin’ blockable …
Chorus: Yeah he’s the Dick to the Dawk to the Ph.D.,
he’s smarter than you he’s got a science degree!
The Dick to the Dawk to the Ph.D.,
he’s still smarter than you he studied biology!
Richard Dawkins: Now the machine of our making, sees culture ripe for the taking,
[Be]cause I’m the rappinest, rabidest atheist who unlike the Catholic, Muslim or even the Jew, believes that no God but science could ever be true, hell if I was dyslexic I’d even hate Dog too.[4]
Time to open your eyes, get yourself wise, the age of science will rise to be religion’s demise, and while you churchies all cry, shouting “why God oh why,” I’ll still be popping my collar earning more dollars than Allah.
Hollah!
Chorus: Yeah he’s the Dick to the Dawk to the Ph.D.,
he’s smarter than you he’s got a science degree!
The Dick to the Dawk to the Ph.D.,
he’s still smarter than you he studied biology!
Chorus : Yeah he’s the Dick to the Dawk to the Ph.D.,
he’s smarter than you he’s got a science degree!
The Dick to the Dawk to the Ph.D.,
he’s still smarter than you he studied biology!

This would make a great video to play during the ending credits of Expelled.
By William Wallace on Mar 29, 2008
Who cares who made it, or the motives.
It’s ours now!
Reporting idiocy isn’t really squeeling. But if the video does become associated with the polemic trash, Expelled, I pity the person(s) who made it. No wonder he’s gone anon.
By Dickie D on Mar 30, 2008
It’s a pro- science video, William. The people that made it know what Richard Dawkins looks like! DOH!!
By S. Scott on Mar 31, 2008
Surely it deserves wider distribution than that.

Ask yourself:
How many members of the cast of this video can you name? (me: 5- didnt know who Eugenie was. You live, you learn)
How many mebers of the cast could a creationist name? ( my guess: 1 -Darwin)
How many atheist references in the video could you recognize’ ( me: the darwin fish, the spaguetti monster S, ” in shoulder of midgets” and some more. )
How many will a creationist get? ( maybe the “i love alcohol” from Hitchhens, but they gotta know whows Hitchens first and thats improbable)
How much of the history of science references could you get: ( ehh… I learned a lot.. )
How many of them a creationist would get: 0
(if you know science history , you could know that what you know you may not be right. Knowledge is dangerous for faith.)
So even if we cannot tell if its made by atheists , its obvious that is directed to atheists, for no one else would get it.
And why would a creationist make a video no one but an atheist would get?

Ansu,
“How much of the history of science references could you get
It was more history of the evolution controversies than of science. Strange how evolanders are always trying to use “science” as a synonym for evolution.
“And why would a creationist make a video no one but an atheist would get?
I don’t know that a creationist made the video, but it is certainly attacking the arrogance of the “science” machine. A video critical of Chinese oppression in Tibet doesn’t need to be made by Tibetans or Chinese, for example.
I think I got more about this video than you, earlier than most evolanders. True, some evolanders got it, e.g., probably Richard Dawkins, but many did not.
I don’t know that it was created by a “Creationist” but it is certainly critical of the atheist evolander cultists who in the name of T.o.E. suppress dissent.
It is possible it was done or in cooperation with the producers of Expelled, but for all we know, they are just interested in defending the underdog by attacking the Darwinian pitbulls.
You don’t have to believe in an opposing point of view (e.g., Intelligent Design or Creationism) to support academic freedom, though the NC”S”E and their spawn like to spin the issue this way.
The Video is highly intelligent, liked by many on both sides of the Evolutionist controversy.
Some figured it out, or had doubts. Here are some samples:
Quoting the number of evolanders who thought the video was on their side would take too long, but it is a hilarious example of “confirmation bias”. Evolanders see what they want. That is why they’re not very good at real science.
By William Wallace on Apr 11, 2008
Well, I honestly find this discussion, if fun, basically pointless. Sooner or later the creator will show up to claim his ” theorical thousands of dollars” and we can ask him what was in his mind when he “designed” this video, and we will finally have “evidence” in to say if the hypothesis that this video is pro-evolution is “only a theory”.
