This debate about evolution is a classic example of the awfulness of arguing with stupidity

Leading contender for facepalm of the week is surely this, a debate about evolution which is a classic example of the awfulness of arguing with stupid people.

On the one hand is conservative pastor and podcast host Jesse Lee Peterson, on the other is atheist and author of We Are All Apes, Aron Ra.

And, well, best have a watch for yourself, a three minute clip which has gone wildly viral on Reddit after it was shared by NuggetWarrior09.

Ooof.

And here are just a few of the things people said about it.

And talking about the awfulness of arguing with stupid people, it took us back to this from a while back, this person who doesn’t understand 10%.
