Evolution: The 100-Year-Old Singing Frog
Guests: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer
Description: An old 1955 Looney Tunes cartoon featured Michigan J Frog, the annoying frog found in the cornerstone of a building who would put on a top hat and sing for his discoverer, but would not sing for anyone else. The cartoon has become for us a symbol of what it takes to stretch the credibility of a paradigm beyond its breaking point, and for that reason it appears ridiculous. We point out how evolution is like that, and that we are asked to believe a paradigm that is far beyond the limits of credibility.
