    About Drunk History:
    Based on the popular web series, Drunk History is the liquored-up narration of our nation's history. Host Derek Waters, along with an ever-changing cast of actors and comedians, travels across the country to present the rich tales that every city in this land has to offer. Booze helps bring out the truth. It's just that sometimes the truth is a little incoherent.

      It's called belief. With any belief system one usually makes a number of assumptions and some large ones. The belief in evolution is no different. Although we are indoctrinated to think the theory is true and those who question it are fundamentalist. The truth is the supposed evidence for evolution crumbles under scrutiny and it takes faith to believe in the stories told of the past just like the bible's stories.

    • @PartnershipsForYou
      @PartnershipsForYou 8 років тому +7

      Dennis Kautz Believing metaphors literally is justified because it takes 'faith' to believe in evolution? No, it takes evidence. Can you show me some that proves the bible is based on fact? If so, is there any fact specifically stated?

      The defendant did win. Sure, the jury ruled against him (on a technicality), but the ruling was thrown out on appeal (on a technicality) and the trial itself accomplished everything the defendant and his team wanted, namely publicity for the issue.

      You can watch full episodes on Hulu.
      Also the fact that it advertised the show afterwards and cut it off at a cliff hanger part to get you to watch more most people who aren't fucking stupid would have realized it's a clip
