I read this article, complete with educational video, in which Chuck Missler a creationist successfully (or so he thinks) disproves evolution with a jar of peanut butter. His theory is based upon the idea that the jar of peanut butter contains matter and is exposed to light and heat, but we do not find new life inside the peanut butter unless it is first contaminated by something outside the jar. He says "If I open this jar of peanut butter, maybe not often but on some occasion, I should find new life inside but when we open the jar of peanut butter and look in there, there's no new life." On this assumption he believes he has proven that evolution does not happen. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions; mine were that this guy is a few peanut butter sandwiches short of a picnic.
