Episode 9. The author exposes quote mining (using other people's words out of context) by Creationists. He then goes into the flaws in comparing man-made inanimate objects with living creatures that can reproduce with variation in response to environmental stressors.

Re: Why Do People Laugh at Creationists? Ep. 9
Although I love these installments, I couldn't help notice the irony of making the statement that a persons claim must be judged only on it merits, and then show a side by side of Hitler and the creationist.
Seems a tad hypocritical.

To the contrary, it leads us to recognize that the mustachioed guy uses tactics similar to that of a well recognized and documented demagogue...one that used these tactics in lieu of reason to successfully convince his listeners to follow him to extreme ends. It's close to a character attack, but there is merit to comparing the body language of the two, intended in both cases to encourage people to believe without good cause.
