This video is a response to Dave Rubin’s interview with Dennis Prager, creator of Prager University. During the interview, Dennis said some things that were true, other things that were strange, and some things that were so blatantly misleading that they can only be attributed to staggering ignorance or intentional dishonesty.

On evolution, he claimed that the Cambrian Explosion disproved evolution. No, this period of 10-30 million years taught us that evolution didn’t progress at a steady pace throughout history. There were periods where the progress was slower, and periods of time where the progress was much quicker. Factors of warming temperatures and/or changes in the oxygen content of the atmosphere are ideas as to why the conditions were right for a rapid evolutionary pace during what’s known as the Cambrian Explosion.

A little bit of research is all it would have taken for Dennis not to make a fool of himself. He claimed to “love” science, but people who love science don’t spread ignorance, they spread knowledge.

What’s even more bizarre than using long debunked creationist arguments to insult the countless men and women who’ve spent life-times in the field of evolutionary biology (including many Christians,) was his constant attack on the word secular. Apparently, Dennis just loves theocracies.

Dave Rubin failed to challenge Dennis on anything.
