[00:00:06] Durham North Carolina the heart of the Research Triangle

[00:00:13] We've come to this particular place tonight

[00:00:16] 'Cause we gotta look at things from every angle

[00:00:19] We need some answers to some complicated questions

[00:00:23] If we're going to get it right

[00:00:26] To that end we have here gathered

[00:00:28] Some of the most expensive scientists in the world

[00:00:31] Eminent scientists that is

[00:00:33] We got biologists biometricians got a quantum mechanic and astrophysicians

[00:00:38] Got a cosmologist and a cosmetician got an astronaut

[00:00:42] We got Astro Boy

[00:00:47] We got he-doctors she-doctors knee doctors tree doctors

[00:00:51] We a got a lumberjack and a life coach

[00:01:35] First question dark matter

[00:01:41] Oh dark matter

[00:01:44] Give me someone knows somethin' about space

[00:01:49] The Scientists send a representative

[00:01:50] Nice space music Georgie

[00:01:51] All right what is it

[00:01:54] Where is it

[00:01:56] Can we get some

[00:01:59] Stand up sir would you

[00:02:01] You are standing forgive me

[00:02:06] Dark matter go ahead

[00:02:10] Dark matter is out in space

[00:02:15] It's seventy-five percent of everything

[00:02:20] Just a moment sir

[00:02:22] Do yourself a favor use our music

[00:02:24] People like it and your music's making people sick

[00:02:28] All right

[00:02:29] It's a free country go ahead

[00:02:30] Dark matter what is it

[00:02:32] We don't know what it is but we think it's everywhere

[00:02:42] I'd like to take a look at it

[00:02:44] Can we get some down here

[00:02:47] Ha ha ha ha ha ha

[00:02:51] Of course not

[00:02:53] Let me get this straight

[00:02:55] You don't know what it is you don't know where it is

[00:02:58] And we can't get any

[00:03:00] Put that to the one side

[00:03:02] Let's put the Lord faith eternity and whatever on the other side

[00:03:08] Show of hands

[00:03:11] I'll take Jesus I'll take Jesus I'll take Jesus every time

[00:03:15] I'll take Jesus I'll take Jesus I'll take Jesus every time

[00:03:19] Yes I will yes I will yes I will yes I will

[00:03:23] I'll take Jesus I'll take Jesus I'll take Jesus every time

[00:03:30] All right one nothing

[00:03:33] Next one's gonna be a hard one

[00:03:35] It's about the theory of evolution and it's about animals also

[00:03:40] So give me someone knows somethin' about evolution and animals

[00:03:44] Who you got

[00:03:46] Wow you're a beautiful woman aren't you

[00:03:51] Doesn't matter of course

[00:03:52] But if this science thing doesn't work out for you

[00:03:56] Oh don't boo me don't boo me

[00:03:58] I'm just kiddin' you you know that

[00:04:00] Here's my question explain me the giraffe

[00:04:05] Go ahead

[00:04:08] Elaborate

[00:04:09] With pleasure miss

[00:04:12] The giraffe to survive must eat leaves high up on the Yabba Yabba tree

[00:04:18] That's true isn't it

[00:04:19] Of course it is

[00:04:21] Everyone knows that

[00:04:23] But Mr. Darwin's giraffe the halfway-giraffe

[00:04:27] With a halfway-giraffe neck

[00:04:30] Could never have reached the highest branches of the Yabba Yabba

[00:04:33] Therefore he could not have survived

[00:04:37] It's only common sense

[00:04:39] Unfortunately for you Mr. Charles Darwin

[00:04:42] Didn't have any common sense

[00:04:44] Evolution is a theory and we have just now tonight disproved it

[00:04:51] Show of hands

[00:04:59] I'll take Jesus I'll take Jesus I'll take Jesus every time

[00:05:03] I'll take Jesus I'll take Jesus I'll take Jesus every time

[00:05:07] Yes I will yes I will yes I will yes I will

[00:05:11] I'll take Jesus every time

[00:05:17] All right two nothing

[00:05:18] Next question global warming

[00:05:20] Is it and if so so what

[00:05:25] One of the true believers seeks to be recognized

[00:05:27] Hand him a mic Charles

[00:05:29] Thank you

[00:05:34] Sir do you know what you are you're an idiot

[00:05:40] You're a strawman a fabrication

[00:05:44] You see the author of this little vignette

[00:05:46] Mr. Newman self-described atheist and communist

[00:05:51] Creates characters like you as objects of ridicule

[00:05:56] He doesn't believe anything he has you say

[00:05:59] Nor does he want us to believe anything you say

[00:06:03] Makes it easy for him to knock you down hence a strawman

[00:06:08] I myself believe in Jesus

[00:06:11] I believe in evolution also

[00:06:13] I believe in global warming and in life everlasting

[00:06:19] No one can knock me down

[00:06:23] Oh we can knock you down Mister

[00:06:25] We can knock your communist friend down too Communist

[00:06:30] You call me an idiot

[00:06:32] We've been knocking people like Mr. Newman down for years and years

[00:06:37] Like this page 35 Georgie

[00:06:42] Mrs. Dorothy page 35

[00:06:50] I know someone is watching me

[00:06:54] Everywhere I go

[00:06:58] Someone sees everything I see

[00:07:03] Knows everything I know

[00:07:07] When I'm in trouble don't have a friend

[00:07:11] There's still somebody on whom I can depend

[00:07:16] Someone who'll be there 'till the very end

[00:07:20] Someone is watching me

[00:07:24] Someone is watching me

[00:07:28] Someone is watching me

[00:07:33] For so long I was too blind to see

[00:07:37] Someone is watching

[00:07:39] Someone is watching

[00:07:42] Someone is watching me

[00:07:46] Take a little break ladies and gentlemen

[00:07:48] Fifteen maybe twenty-five minutes depending on how the merchandise is moving

[00:07:56] We'll be right back
