Kirk Cameron is right!

[KiwiTibb]

Very old video and I'm sure someone's already said it, but I'll post anyways.

Origin of species doesn't explain how life came to be, but how it grows more complex and adapts. They're very different, but this is just a nitpick in the end.

[BMFRaw]

Dave Groehl meets Joe Rogan. Talk about a f*cking chick magnet! A brain too!

[F00dTube]

You skipped the natural selection part. The evolvement of language faculties.Your story is just incorrect.

[Pigroota]

This type of editing is a dubious fashion that is extremely annoying, and given this guy's incredibly stupid voice, I think it's safe to say that I hate this video, despite its mediocre content

[FlamingParanoiaSpoon]

that was so much fun :D

[bradjbourgeois73]

Everytime anyone says something stupid, we should start calling them Kirk Cameron, lmao!

[mariomario8888]

@bradjbourgeois73 That's immature

[lebannerfan65]

You're someone I'd like to have a beer with sometime. Keep it up.

[BMFRaw]

@lebannerfan65 I'll buy the first round.

[mtdeezy]

amazing. youre awesome. keep making videos cause Im subscribing.

[cuntsound]

i love the way you describe how language came to. no magic instincts or stuff like that.

[123backinyerface]

Weird video but oddly enough I get the strange point presented very differently from the many other videos I have been confused by thus far.

Like! (I think)

[Ev3rFl0w]

genius

[hotrodbod1]

your like a combination of the joker from the last Batman, and Carl Sagan....and if you think about that....it's pretty freakin Scary Dude!

[ThaddeusRobe]

Like your videos, but man this video needs a tripod. Um... I mean... "Scooby-dee-doo-dum, get a tripod dude, fizbot chicker boy ickey ickey patang.

It was probably more like some village whore said to a guy: "Give me some dick".

And received an immediate response.

I wish I smoked Pot now... Because My mind is so blown I need a Tissue.

Azrienoch... Well Done =^_^=

@seekatruth lmfao.

man im glad most atheists ate racists.

especially in California.you burkes crack me up.

youtube atheists rofl

[happyhappy85]

Wtf are you on about?

[AstraVex]

I'm sorry but 35 seconds into the video.

I stated that in the beginning "There was...nothing."

WRONG!!!! <obsure Superman reference

I have sound, logical and factual proof that in the beginning, there was a wooden stool, a lightbulb and a guy selling oranges.

...Oh, and a beetle in a box. =)

[enigmaticemptiness]

Wow, I just gained a much larger appreciation for logic.

[MichaelHasNoFriends]

Amen. Lmao.

hey azrienoch wanna snort some coke with me?

[acepilot1997]

I love the sarcasm!!!!!

[mornmeril]

You, sir, are a genious.

[EricZombie]

Exceptional! Love the wit!

Just a few things, language developed well before humans ever walked the earth, many animals have sounds that are meant to convey meaning to other animals. It may not have been a grunt, but a squeak or a squawk from some earlier organism that started "language"

As for written words, they probably started out as pictures, then became more stylized into pictographs, hieroglyphics, then finally into letters and words.

Either way, excellent video!

[drekas2005]

Well it looks like every degenerate with a

webcam can pretend to be a wannabe

philosopher on You Tube. Dude, do you make a living with a squeegee or what?

[RageAndLove1]

boo!

[Marko767]

he obviously isn't PRETENDING to be a WANNABE philosopher lol he is simply trying to provide a point of view (a rather funny one lol) opn said topic , like the rest of youtube. its a tad harsh calling him a degenerate when you obviously haven't met him. make a living with a squeegee? Another slightly harsh comment wouldn't you say? If you don't like someone then obviously don't watch they're videos

[drekas2005]

@Marko767 I'd love to ignore these videos

but they keep popping into my recommended

for you box without my request. I therefore

consider it unsolicited mail open to shit on.

Sorry squeegee kid.

[CGW129]

What the fuck you doing? Still sucking at your mama's tit, and depending on your parents for EVERYTHING down to an allowance. I bet they have your bitch as on such a short leash that you don't even go outside without thinking about what they'd think. Personally, I'd rather make my living with said squeegee.

[drekas2005]

@CGW129 Am I supposed to seriously take

the moronic comments of a wanker who's

barely old enough to legally drink? Are you typing between centerfolds Queenie? Get a

haircut and a job you degenerate loser.

Better still, stay in your mommies basement

and stay out of sight. We have enough human trash roaming the streets.

[longbeachlt]

this guy is a punkass i cant stand looking at his face!

[ninjapirate0507]

That was one of the most brilliant videos I have seen in a while. I gave it 5 stars,and two thumbs up!! :) You are hereby subscribed to! :)

[Dwafen]

Why are the comments disabled on kirks vidoes? Are they afraid that people won't respond positively?

[limpnail]

The nose ring looks like snot.

[owsleys89]

I see what you did there. Nice video

[YogiToad]

that was great

[LemonsInTheShade]

don't listen to dnemnt - the nose ring is great!

[dnemnt]

the nose ring is a distraction.

[Toudiyama]

Anyone who makes fun of Kirk Cameron gets my vote...5 stars

[ratufatu]

LOL is this a mockery of that phil guy?! If it is... VERY good and hilarious!

[ChristyLove2000]

I was thinking the same thing. I even had to look at the guy closely because I thought it was Phil in disguise. lol.

[ammonman]

I like the close-ups of your mouth. I don't know why. I guess you have a nice mouth.

*awkward pause*

Anyway, your video is true and thought-provoking and quirky and amusing and all that.

Nice mouth.

[Skindoggiedog]

I find it disgusting.

Each to their own I guess.

[thomassparks36]

This video is soooooooo stupid.....What is this garbledy-gook

[azrienoch]

Yeah, look at me make words up! How dare I!

[pissinguoff247]

How is babby formed? How girl get pragnent?

[wendighoul]

@pissinguoff247 What is a babby and what is pragnent?

[imjeezsayin]

How do you blow your nose? I'm just curious. Seems like you'd have to clean that ring everytime or it would have snot on it...

[azrienoch]

If I have a bad cold, I take it out. If I'm just blowing for no good reason, I flip it upwards.

[imjeezsayin]

Hmmm, well thanks...looks uncomfortable, but I guess you like it.

[Raada77]

Be kinda cool if life was like that eh? Oh wait, you already think life is like that.

Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.

Would that sum up your life's motto?

[azrienoch]

Mine? What?

[BreathingTheDark]

@Raada77

that kind of life is not reserved for a an atheist, you know.

and its no reason to be an atheist either.

[Raada77]

@BreathingTheDark - Very true. All of humanity thinks, "Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die." They might not admit it, but it's our fallen human nature that we are that way. Most of today's atheists are inconsistent with their worldview, they profess to believe there is no God and then live according the very laws they deny exist.

[BreathingTheDark]

@Raada77

i dont see how that's inconsistent, depending on what laws you are referring to.

[SexedUpAtheist]

@Raada77

The association of the 'laws' by which people live and your fictitious deity is the only thing that the atheists deny, and for good reason: those 'laws' existed long before your god was invented.

Also, considering that we will die eventually, and return to the oblivion from which we came, living our lives to the fullest is the only reasonable and rational thing to do. However, if you want to neglect your life in favor of some make-believe afterlife, more power to you.

[TheZeaf]

@Raada77 That sounds awesome to me! If you spend to much time trying to stay alive; you often forget to live.

[1776Reborn]

Learn something usefullll. Good luck.

[KRU78]

I have a feeling you like to hear yourself . BTW you got something in your nose

[ominousmaximus]

moon bats come to mind when people suppose they have some coherent wisdom to video blog to the sheeple and throws a self endulgent rant of a man obviously in great need of some pharma-zombie help. Dude sarcasm and wit is dime a dozen try some real philosophy that helps rather than makes a mockery.

[azrienoch]

Did you watch the whole thing?

[cdltpx]

Dude you are so baked!

[paul02144]

Great video! 5 stars.

[shadowmousey]

Totally agree with your points, loved the video, but can we, maybe, invest in a tripod? Then I could watch it instead of just listening to it :)

[ubiquitousdeity]

Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort need to retire from the debate circuit. Or just in general... I could poke holes in their arguments and I'm supposed to be agreeing with them!

[psychobomberninja]

Bleunt, shut up already. This video is incredibly intelligent, straight to the point, logical, and hilarious to boot. You're bad at everything you love, you're adopted, your parents hate you, and your family all thinks your mom got knocked up by the Fed-Ex man, so stop bothering the rest of us already. Azrienock, keep up the good work.

[TheSoyEatsYou]

...

[bleunt]

I don't like how people still think Darwin is all about how life came to be. :(

[azrienoch]

Well, that statement can be taken a number of ways, both in ways that you like and don't like. So unless someone gives you reason to think they mean it in the way you don't like, assume it's in the way you like.  You'll live a happier life.

[bleunt]

I only see one way to interpret it when someone say "how LIFE came to be". However, people are sometimes wrong, but sometimes just plain sloppy.

[azrienoch]

Only one? There are at least two. "How life came to be" could mean how "life" emerged from non-living material, or how "life" as it is came to be as it is. Too many uses of "life" in language to be so pedantic. Like I said, you'll just frustrate yourself.

[bleunt]

If someone means how life came to be as it is (today), then one should probably say "how life came to be as it is (today)". Because there's a significant difference.

[azrienoch]

Maybe to you. But for the rest of us, context keeps us from confusion.

[bleunt]

It's naive to think that a significant number of people don't confuse the two. But it's sweet of you to give them the benefit of a doubt. However, it would be best to just stop being sloppy, since it encourages the misconception that is very much real.

[azrienoch]

Conversation has a way of smoothing kinks. You have an idealist zeal in this prescriptivism, but it's not how language works, and forcing it usually yeilds worse consequences than better. Take it as a queue, a rhetorical "in" with these people, and do something constructive with it rather than bitching about how they don't live up to your expectations.

[bleunt]

Don't feed the misconception by adopting their language. That's all. It's not a coincidence that Ray uses those exact words.

The fact that you're so eager to defend yourself shows that you care, which is good. I don't believe you mean any harm.

[azrienoch]

But that's the thing, it's not their language. It's normal, natural language. That you make it the heart of the issue (at least, seemingly so) means you're alienating everyone else that uses a phrase like that for so many different things. Don't pat me on the head for caring, because this conversation is not about Ray Comfort. Prescriptivism is fucking dangerous, and while I wouldn't block you for it, I will fight it whenever it appears nearby.

[bleunt]

I feel I can't continue this discussion without repeating myself. The same apparently goes for you as well. None of us have anything new to bring to our points.

[Dreki8]

Ahhhh now I get it....

[HeartAttack1990]

I once wrote a program that spilled out random "words" by putting random letters in place. Once it got "Aduckfitme". Hehe.

[NotTooObvious]

haha i twittered TJs video to ray comfort

[billib]

I dont know why but I was tempted to rip out that bull nose ring from your nose. Nice intro too.

[Cainkane1]

I'm going to order this issue of the origen of the Species and use the added pages as toilet paper.

[princessyairi]

xD now explain the internet

[michaellfrederick123]

Sounds like a clear case of plagiarism. What's the deal with these supremacists.

[justy256]

He's describing the process of evolution. It's clever because it's both an analogy as well as a direct description i.e. selection of ideas that propagate into the future survive, as well as the fact that it is this process that led to the writing of TOS, and later to the creation of the douche bags that have committed this 50 page atrocity.

[yintov]

kudos, Cameron et al are talking the worst kind of nonsense.

[eeedel]

I downloaded the intro to the book and that bit about ink falling onto pages sounds more like an explaination of how the bible came to be.

[GabrielKoulikov]

Wow... this is the most incoherent video I've seen on YouTube to date, and that's saying something!

I don't even understand what you're trying to say, other than you agree with a few paragraphs Ray Comfort wrote. The rest are insults and incoherence seemingly put forth as arguments.

Anyone understand what he's trying to say?

[azrienoch]

Are... are you serious?

[GabrielKoulikov]

LOL; I believe that was the question I was trying to ask you.

Yes; I, for one, am always serious. I'm quite familiar with science, linguistics, logic/reasoning, and the creation/evolution debate, and discuss such things regularly with all kinds of people (smart, ignorant, agree, disagree), and, yeah, you completely lost me with this video.

And I can tell this was meant to be funny; I just don't understand your point(s) as they relate to the things in real life that inspired you to make this.

[azrienoch]

Here's what I did. The argument that Comfort gives is absurd.  Whether you're a Christian, Athiest or God himself, you don't believe that's how the book came to be. But I do not believe in immutable words. Words mean many things, sometimes contradictory things, even at the same time (e.g. irony). So instead of auto-denying the argument, I embraced it, and pretended it just needed elaboration, rather than scrapping. So I elaborated it into a cartoon version of the development of language.

[negativecreep888]

GabrielKoulikov..mate take a deep breath and exhale.Stop using your other hole.

[FoamingGypsy]

The video has a 5 star rating. Sorry, you're alone

[LanceDirk]

I like it!

[michaellfrederick123]

This is a great video. Kirk Cameron is a fascist. Whats the deal with these Jesus Freaks. My fiance is Jewish and I am a Theist. I figure whatever works for you.

[jadeddryad]

...............i have no idea what you're talking about but i was kinda captivated by your nose ring.....so i watched the whole video........

[outofsteplv]

Your videos always cheer me up. Especially in the case of tonight where my further study into Solipsism has got me mind fucked.

[outofsteplv]

which really has nothing to do with your topic, i just thought I'd say that, ha.

[FascistKingDave]

I can has steady cam?

this is truly one of the best vlogs on youtube i have seen in years.

[DarkMatter2525]

@seekatruth

God is beyond time, but it took Him 6 days to create everything, and He had to rest for a day, too. That doesn't sound like "beyond time" to me. The "beyond time and space" argument came from people who were tired of science discovering that God was never where people claimed He was.

[cowboycoco]

lol, Comfort's rebuttle might go something like, "Yeah but how did the short guy know that the stick was in fact called a stick?"

[AimiriZ]

AHA!!! I thought you didn't need an introduction!!!!

[azrienoch]

Some ideas are too cool to resist.

[AimiriZ]

oh well, an introduction is needed before no introduction is needed.

[320iguy]

if any one wants a list of the schools in the US and Canada there in my response video's side bar with a link ti the text document

[13Heathens]

The comfort cameron release also had only 9 of 14 chapters, and one of those 9 was renamed.

[PingeMusic]

cool

[themanwhoknew]

What if the tall guy was deaf?

[azrienoch]

Who knows what happened, how many people tried to communicate verbally, before that single first instance of successful language. Of course, even in my story, there isn't really a solid beginning.

[themanwhoknew]

azrienoch - I suspect the original was body language, then written, then speech.

Or, God gave us a dictionary. And gave Cameron a banana.

[GnosticDjinn]

Speech long preceded written language. Even gorillas and prairie dogs have basic verbal communications.

[themanwhoknew]

GnosticDjinn - But they also have a highly evolved bodily language.

[GnosticDjinn]

Scent, Body language, basic verbal communications, words, sentences, painting, hieroglyphics, cuneiform, alphabets and last grammar, drunk dialing, then texting while driving.  That's the basic outline of communication.

[themanwhoknew]

GnosticDjinn - You forgot touching.

[JohananRaatz]

Only people who believe in objective truth, have a valid context with which to critique creationism.

[azrienoch]

Creationism critiques itself by its own truth. That's all the truth needed.

[JohananRaatz]

Not that I believe in creationism because I don't, but it all truths are relative then what is wrong with creationism? I mean a post-modernist such as yourself should surely not have a problem with this right?

[caelestis356]

Relativity does not completely render value statements null. Evolution is closer to objective truth than creationism, which is just religion dressed up as science and follows no scientific principles. No one has a problem with the biblical creation story, as long as it stays out of the damn science class.

[JohananRaatz]

No, no, relativism properly understood throws out ALL standards. Because if you don't, then you can derive a higher order absolute from something that is partly relative. Whatever defines "partly" indicates that there is SOME absolute at work in the system.

[caelestis356]

Relativism doesn't throw out standards, it just recognizes, as any sane person should, that we are humans and thus imperfect, and any standards we try to create will be inherently imperfect. Relativism is just a recognition of our humanity, while absolutism is a denial of it.

[azrienoch]

I'm not a relativist. I believe in justice, and stand wherever it takes me.

[brouhajoe]

One of your best in a while Az. Dig the new intro too.

[ORz42]

Haha brilliant!

[ianhoppe]

damn I missed you.

Love your new intro and style.

[ZachsMind]

I can't stop staring at his nose ring. It's hypnotic!

[mattie690]

seekatruth...

So cars have an intelligent designer (us) so we must have been made by a designer...Is that us also?? Or is it only a god that can create himself from nothing BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A CLUE WHERE YOU THINK HE CAME FROM!

At this point Mr Creationist it is usual to invent something that has no evidence and can neither be proved or disproved by you me or anyone.....off you pop!

[moekelok]

How is it, azrienoch, that you are not extremely wealthy by now?

[abominableangel]

i 2nd that .. this video was actually incredibly cleaver 5*s

[riversonthemoon]

Thank the heavens that short guy didn't invent a ladder first.

Now I'm off to listen to some Mel Tormé.

[Daria076]

Awesome, as always! ...you know, my philosophy teacher's name is Jeff. Just a thought :)

[Escapist166]

its a good analogy

What do you even know about intelligence if you choose to believe in a fairytale?

[CheesyAnnouncer]

May The Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you. May the Lord turn his face toward you, and give you peace.

[healthyaddixion]

have you ever thought of doing voiceovers? you may have the greatest speaking voice i've ever heard.

[jessatilley]

are there not copyright issues to get this publication trashed?????? I mean Darwin's family can they stop it, do they know what is being done in his name????

[azrienoch]

It's in the public domain in America.

[jessatilley]

Perhaps all is not lost there seems to be a huge backlash on youtube.......you might find it odd, but I thank GOD for You, keep up the good work, evolution cannot be denied it's FACT, but I don't need to tell you that........

[theDracoIX]

Why Jess, why do people like you exist. I bet you don't know a single fvcking thing about the theory of evolution, but yer gonna sit there and call it an undeniable fact.

God help us.

[jessatilley]

Ahh..... what have we here a pure soul who would condem and abuse me!!!!!

[theDracoIX]

I wouldn't hurt you, bby - I'd just educate you a little.

[jessatilley]

Wouldn't hurt! Then may I politely suggest you stop being verbally abusive - I'm always open to learning, from those who have the courage of their conviction and show their face....... good taste in Rock though :)

[theDracoIX]

Bby, humans don't reveal themselves to the public. This is the first lesson - I shall teach you.

[xwidget]

"If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it ought to be good enough for the children of Texas." - Miriam Amanda Wallace "Ma" Ferguson (June 13, 1875 - June 25, 1961) was the first female governor of Texas in 1925.

Proof that Texas is progressive! What like havin'a female governor an all..

wikipedia(.)org/wiki/Miriam_A.­_Ferguson

[theDracoIX]

Here's the analogy. Our language is not a product of mere chance but rather a designed tool created through intelligence and intentionality for the purpose of communication.

And, to think otherwise - is rather absurd. So, now look at the language of DNA - which is the most complex language we know to exist.

Is it rational to think that this language, which serves a very specific purpose, arose through a series of random, purposeless events without the aid intelligence or intentionality?

No.

[Arosukir6]

Is that from Kirk Cameron's intro?

That's not an analogy, really. Also, who presents a rhetorical question and then answers it himself? Apparently someone who names themself after a Harry Potter character. Or dragons.

Finally, if you're trying to make an argument for Creationism...please don't. Next thing you know you'll bring up that stupid "watch can't be without a watchmaker" argument.

[mattie690]

theDraclX

DNA is not a language! Who told you that? It may carry complex "information" but it holds no words.

Your analogy is a strawman me thinks, designed to confuse.

[mikesinner69]

Kirk Cameron is an idiot

[Octamed]

Ray's a genius!... no wait..

[mattie690]

"Ray's a genius"...Yes but unfortunately more ARSE than GENE!! :)

[Piratmission]

English alphabet?

[Brandt761]

Yup

[dataloreforever]

Are you not aware that we were created with the ability to read and write, the bible says so, I think. The proof is the fact that babies come out of their mommies with the ability to communicate grammatically both verbally and written. That is why we all speak the same language after all. If you go to china you will find new born babies speaking perfect English, cause we all know English is gods true language.

[RosieDesire]

"If Engish was good enough for jesus, it's good enough for me." ;)

[dataloreforever]

I know, every biographical movie I have ever seen of Jesus proves he spoke English, otherwise I would not be able to understand what he was saying. Plus the bible is written in English, so double checkmate.

[trinidadnomad]

i like the trippy opening. so you and awesome! :D

[mavaddat]

Az, your narrative brought tears to my eye. You capture perfectly the oppression and enslavement of tall people to the decrees of the short.

[Pananarchist]

And I, for one, am tired of being a victim. It's about time we give these Napoleonic bastards a swift kick in the forehead. Liberate the factories so that we may in turn produce products which will liberate our leg-room and head-space. I dream of a day when "Big & Tall" shall be erased from the vernacular, and, in its stead, there shall be only "Average"...

[closeoutcrew]

crystals "self replicate". I guess they "evolve" too. Listen, no one is disputing that things change, and adapt, and "naturally" select. Why does this process have to be exclusive of a God that has designed it to do so?? What is the difficulty in accepting that, or bettr yet, why is discovering HOW nature works, ultimately "prove" the absence of a God. Just cuz the bible got it wrong, pls. don't condemn ALL those who believe in a creator. Those of you who don't..wishful thinking!

[MPizzal]

You know, this made me curious of how the written language came to be. Anyone know a website that can teach me this?
