Let’s look at this rock. Now a lot of people will say I’m crazy but evolution, parts of evolution believe, that that rock, for a period over billions of years, will turn into something. I’m gonna show you, because we’re gonna watch this rock. and here’s the problem. if the earth has been here millions of years, like evolutionists claim, then there should be something evolving . We’ll watch this rock . and we’ll watch other things that should be evolving but don’t . because evolution is a joke.”
Someone should point out to the fellow that he needs to keep watching the rock - and keep watching.... and watching. It may keep him from producing more embarrassing videos.
I thought the Chuck Missler must have been doing a parody also, but it is not. I found this piece on their web page.
The Kitchen Laboratory: How Good a Scientist Are You? – Chuck Missler – Koinonia House

According to the dogmas of the current high priests of biology (and other venerated elders of our society), occasionally, if you combine matter and energy, it is possible to yield new life forms. The accepted theory is that even inorganic matter, subjected to totally random processes, originally combined itself into an initial life form, from which all subsequent life evolved.
Let's now open the sealed jar and carefully examine the contents inside. Did you find any "new life"?
Of course not! ... Our example even contains organic material, which contributes an unfavorable bias to our null hypothesis (a handicap, as it were), but even that, too, helps establish our basic point. To attempt to use inorganic materials in such a container further clinches our conclusion: did we really evolve from a rock and some water?
Ah there is the mention of the rock again.
Chuck Missler (who am I sad to say is centered in my own private Idaho) is an intellectual leader within the fundamentalist realm. The rock guy is some no name, however whenever Chuck is quoted or referenced it is always noted that he is an engineer with a graduate degree (also a Phd from some unaccredited bible college somewhere i believe). This credibility carries a long way when played to an uneducated crowd and I guess gives him a free pass to make some obvious idiotic claims.
The question I have is this - does he really believe in this whacked out garbage, is he really that unsophisticated, undiscerning and ignorant. Or is he just doing this because it is a good business. I know he experienced bankruptcy at one time and maybe selling this stuff to an uneducated crowd as a good easy way to make a living. I once knew someone who worked at his Koinonia house organization and indicated that it is a bustling business.
