...and how to be a Creationist in 5 easy steps. Cristina is a young Romanian woman who also happens to be an atheist. In Romania that's not as common a viewpoint as it used to be since, after the fall of Communism there, the lines between church and state have become a little blurry and religion, or at least one religion (guess which one!) is now included in the public school curriculum. That may be one reason Cristina makes videos about religion and critical thinking. On Youtube, she goes by the nom de plume of ZOMGitsCriss and has thousands of subscribers for her channel. She's smart, funny and easy on the eyes (which may account for so many of her subscribers being male).
Currently she has 48 videos up on Youtube. The one shown here is How to be a good Creationist - in 5 easy steps. I'm featuring this one because I am so tired of people repeating the same canards about evolution back at me even after I've answered them repeatedly and pointed out the innacuracies in their understanding. "It's only a theory!", "it can't explain the origin of life!" and "There are no transitional forms! Where is your crocoduck?" are just a few examples of the misconceptions I've answered frequently yet which are repeated to me ad infinitum and ad nauseum. I feel sometimes like I'm talking to people whose mouths work but whose eyes and ears are tightly closed up. Maybe I've been going about it the wrong way by aiming only at their intellects. Maybe those eyes and ears will open up when it's a pretty girl talking to them...If you enjoyed this article, you can click on "Subscribe by email" to receive notification when more of my work appears.

Save yourself some work: refer them to the Index to Creationist Claims at Talk.Origins:

This way you can shorten your answers to:
"CA201! CC200! ROFLMAO!"
What a lovely resource, Reginald. I've bookmarked it.
Hugh,
Christina's videos have been a long favorite of mine. She has the perfect combination of critical thinking, a sharp wit, and yes - she also happens to be really hot! haha
You are very unwise if you do not understand that Evolutionists and Creationists both are ignorant of facts, discourteous to their fellow humans who disagree with them, and blind to what is to come.
"It's a theory"
"It doesn't explain the origin of life" and
"The absence of transitional forms in the fossil record" significantly contradicts predictions of the evolution model.
These are not misconceptions.
The stock replies so often given to these statements are as superficial as the caricature you paint of creationists.
Sex sells, even to hypocritical Christians. :)
