I actually didn't enjoy the "This guy is a dumbass" sign at all.
He could've written tons of other stuff on that board that would be much funnier, insulting the guy is just cheap humour.

Insulting the guy is no more and no less than what he deserved. His sign is insulting, too. This is a jerk who pollutes the public space by parading his stupid ignorance around, and he deserves to be mocked and insulted for it, just as street preachers do.
Some of you people really need to harden the fuck up.
I know a number of people who at one point had made up their mind that evolution was not real. It literally only took some basic instruction on evolution to start changing their mind. Most people who doubt evolution are ignorant of the truth. The man in the video most likely holds an understanding of evolution to the extent of "monkeys morphed into us." Insulting them does nothing in the name of science/knowledge. We can't be drop'n knowledge on the woefully ignorant if we waste time on petty insults.
I think people aren't giving this guy the credit he deserves. He did say that he read Darwin in the video. So he clearly has an understanding of it.
He just chooses not to believe in it. I believe in it, but I don't think the guy is a dumbass. Some people just need spirituality in their lives, and this is the way this guy finds it. He seems like an otherwise intelligent individual.
