Creationist Pastor Claims Evolution is Racist Because African-Americans Still Exist

Controversial Christian creationist Pastor Matt Powell, insisted in a recent video that evolution is not only a lie, but also a “racist religion,” because it “promotes survival of the fittest.” Powell claims that evolution says “we evolved from African-Americans,” and then wonders how can that be, when there are “other Americans” and how can we still have “African Americans” if “we” evolved from them?

Well, these are all excellent questions, assuming you’re suffering from a very severe head injury. Now, first of all, its important to point out that no anthropologist has ever said that “we” evolved from “African-Americans.” I hate to break it to Pastor Powell and his flock, but a simple Google search ought to quickly inform them that actually - “America” and “African-Americans” weren’t even really a “thing” several million years ago.

And, while evolution is an ongoing phenomenon, Powell’s congregation needs to realize that much of the “human evolution” that Powell misrepresents here, actually took place millions of years before televangelists like he, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Falwell - ever began dreaming about how they’re gonna go about bilking their parishioners into paying for their mansions, yachts, and private jets.

Meanwhile, other creationists are following Powell’s logic, and arguing that “I’ve also heard that evolutionists think we evolved from monkeys, and if we came from monkeys, then why are there still monkeys?” Well, once again, no evolutionist ever said “we came from monkeys.” That said, the answer to “what are there still monkeys” is a simple one! If we didn’t still have monkeys, then who’d eat all the bananas?

Besides, doesn’t Genesis 2:7 basically claim that “God made man from the dirt?” If so, then why aren’t you guys asking, “why is there still have dirt” and, if there’s no dirt, then “why do I still need to wash my hands before sitting down at the dinner table?” Of course, I fully understand that if you’re actually “dumber than dirt,” then these questions are going to seem rather difficult.

Anyway, what is truly amazing, is just how much insanity, ignorance, and racism - have actually been packed into this one simple video? I mean, was there some sort of contest or a competition, with prize money involved? Because, we’re talking some serious “pro-level stupidity” here folks. And, Pastor Powell demonstrates that his level of ignorance - can only be only surpassed by his arrogance.
