A few years ago, creationists made a video starring Richard Dawkins and the scientific community with a light hearted rap video featuring Richard himself and some famous other atheists.
Rap starts at 1:04, but I recommend watching the start for context.

I'm an atheist and I've watched this 5 times already today.
I didn't study biology... :saddowns:
Was this bashing Atheism or just amazing?
I don't get the point of this video, if it is a christian video why is it making Atheists look better? (at least it appears as though it is, I may be wrong)
Well, it's clear they're trying to posit the stupid notion that scientists are ousting intelligent design and it's "experts" because somehow their findings are pro-creationism, rather than the truth which is simply that they and their "hypothesis" are regarded rather entirely as the pseudoscience that it is.
This however, doesn't make the video any less awesome. In fact, their weak attempts at satire actually make the whole thing sound like an anthem for atheism and good ol' Dawkins.
Lol, and I love how they went to the lowest common denominator and decided the juvenile observation that "Dick" is an alternative to "Richard" was a clever way to insult Dawkins himself.

Maybe it sounds more dire and threatening to someone who actually believes the elimination of religion is a bad thing...

It tried to make them look bad, as if they kick creationists out of the scientific community, when really, there is no creation science - it's an oxymoron.
:eng101:
Need .gifs of 3:46-3:50 and 3:51-3:52.
I hate rap.
Creationist rap.. It's hard to refrain myself from doing bad things.
I think Dicky Dawkins is a boss name and he should use that on his next book.
Catchy.
Damn, that was awesome. I thought I was gonna rage on this but it turned out awesome.

I tried on GIFsoup, but it included a frame from the scene just before.

Doctor Dick Dawkins, maybe?
Obviously, the best way to make Richard Dawkins looks stupid is to make him look totally awesome.
I enjoyed this video.
How is this bashing science? Its amazing.
DickyD motherFUCKER
I just converted this to an mp3 and added it to my phone! This song is great. Even though I hate rap.
I love the beginning: "after all, we are scientists, much, much smarter than you!" like it's a bad thing to be intelligent. Just sort of paints all religious people as morons for believing in god and not being 'smart' enough to understand the scientific principles behind the universe. Pretty self-defeating.

Can someone please make a .gif of 3:51-3:52 and some?
