These people are so dumb. Every time they throw in all kinds of scientific concepts along with evolution, and think they understand something. How stupid can you get? Evolution says very little about the origin of life, the big bang, or atheism even. idiots.
I think lots of these people have evolution confused with mutationism which was dropped 200 yrs ago because there was no evidence. They try to discredit evolution by confusing it with mutationism. I think some truly don't understand & I think some intentionally mislead & promote flawed thinking in an attempt to promote creationism.
Ray Comfort reminds me of a teacher I had in high school. He said that he thought it was so cool that God created us with our ears located in just the right spot on our heads that glasses fit over them nicely.
@suicidefilming You do realize "ad hominems" have to be directed at a specific person, right? And Potholer54 makes the case against these delusionoids quite effectively.
Ray Comfort will be laughed at all the way to the bank... maybe I should write a creationist book, it's the only readers that would buy the crap I could produce but what the hell. It's not like I'm gonna burn in hell for spreading gods lies am I?
These people are so stupid they don't even realize they're being stupid. They can't tell the difference between biology, physics or cosmology yet they're never hesitant about yapping moronic crap. As my dad said, "It's OK to be stupid but for god's sake, why does he have to advertise it all the time?"
I can actually see the side of the argument that says that all process in the world except for the big bang tend towards chaos
The second law of thermodynamics describes macro-states, of micro-particles, that is; it states that in all process, more enthalpy(total internal energy; basically heat) is generated than other forms of energy. And that it is very VERY unlikely that other forms of energy are generated from enthalpy
Whereas in the big bang enthalpy is converted into other forms of ener
@gigetyG The Universe IS tending towards chaos. Look at it this way, what is more "organised"; all matter in their most primitive state packed up in the smallest space possible, or a huge universe filled massive spaces of nothing, with the odd peaks in mass dotted here and there, which is whirling, exploding, being sucked in to black holes and spewed out again.
srry but u did one very bad mistake . sincitypreacher and adauto loureco are talking about the universe not the earth. the universe is not gaining any energy from outside and is a closed system, so it should become more chaotic, but it doesnt.
@WAZZA1235 The universe IS running down as a whole, closed system. But that has nothing to do with how life gets it's energy. Life is an open system, we get our energy from the sun.
does ray comfort realize that modern dogs were selectively bred by our ancestors to have desirable traits? i guess not, its a similar situation to the modern banana, and he seemed rather clueless about that
I stepped on the dog one time and in a moment of confusion he said "FFS wil you watch where you are fucking ste......I mean.....WOOF!" When I said "OMG you can talk?" he just started licking his balls and looked at me out the corner of his eye.
Like what you do and like how you do it. What is even more amazing is your calmness ... I mean, keeping it together and not loosing your mind while listening at all the b.s. these "believers" say. I must learn how to mange my mind like you ...
Potholer...absolutely LOVE your videos. I'm so glad that you, AronRa, Tfoot, NonStampCollector, DonExodus, et al exist in the virtual world to fight against these IDiots with reason and sanity - a heartfelt THANK YOU!
about 1:10. I disagree. I'd guess that 90% of atheist have no scientific background.
I might not understand the scientific fields that religions question. But i can compare the basics on those topics i learned in school to the religious explanation. And it really doesn't take much research to come to a conclusion which one makes more sense. Most atheists are not scientists. They just base their opinion on what is more likely to be true instead of what they WANT to be true.
Okay, so Comfort thinks that dogs were the first creatures to have eyes and doesn;t realise that animals evolve in groups not as individuals. How about not criticising evolutionary theory unless you have at least a secondary school level understanding of it?
Comfort's spontaneous dog example is even more fundamentally flawed than you revealed. He makes the very basic error of mistaking species for gender. Ray: male and female are not separate species, they are gender expressions within the same species.
.
Does his ignorance know no bounds?
.
A lifetime achievement award must be in the works for this guy.
The cowardly and deceitful about Comfort's "apology" ( watch?v=XHaSZtf5I1k ) is it starts and ends with him trying to deflect his own responsibility and make the whole thing Richard Dawkins' fault.
.
He then attempts to discredit Dawkins by replaying the famous (and entirely playful) speculation on an extraterrestrial origin for life (as extracted and bastardised by the ever deceitful Ben Stein).
.
Here's how an apology goes, Ray: "I was wrong. I am sorry."
At 0:46 "My apologies for not explaining myself more clearly. I was not aware that the common banana had been so modified..."
How the hell did he get "...not explaining myself more clearly" from "I was not aware..." The problem had nothing to do with explaining himself [more clearly.]
Starting off like that is just a pathetic attempt to water down his apology. The problem is much simpler. He's got shit for brains and he's lying for jebus (or more likely for a lot of money.)
Krateros Soter explained (down 9 months ago) that saying that "energy tends toward entropy" is not a correct interpretation of thermodynamics, although it has the right idea. In thermo entropy is a measurable property of a system. Maximal entropy is one in which the system is entirely uniform and homogeneous; in particular, every part of the system is at the same temperature, has "reached thermal equilibrium".
... Minimal entropy has some parts hot, other parts cool, because it is in the movement of heat from hot parts to cool parts that work can be accomplished. So the correct statement is that "entropy proceeds to a maximum."
The Second Law is that entropy always increases in a closed system; that is, heat always flows from hot to cold areas, thus equalizing their temperatures. The movement can be slowed almost to nothing using insulation and such technology, but it can never be stopped entirely, much less reversed - in a closed system, nota bene.
Actually, single addition or subtraction mutations are usually quite dangerous, as they change every single amino acid that the gene codes for after the mutation location. However, point mutations (one nucleotide changes into a different one through copying error) only changes 1 amino acid, and so are significantly safer. Not all mutations are equal :)
@gimmethegepgun However, 3 addition/subtraction or addition followed by a subtraction or vice versa will only change those between them. Forgot about that
@gimmethegepgun: Better to say that base addition/deletion mutations are more likely to result in zygote failure rather than substitution mutations, which, when they appear in an exon, will most usually result in a neutral mutation as the functional part of a protein is normally a very small part of the protein.
You are correct, but don't forget that even with better schools and better teachers, Christians will still persist in decrying evolution and saying it has been proven wrong. They will never stop, as long as there are things being taught in the public schools that disagree with and disprove their phony baloney religious beliefs.
sorry for the late reply. you are indeed correct: there will of course always be a fringe group out there who'll reject modern science. simply put: there are people out there beyond help.
but give the general population better and more phocused education-that would weaken, and even break, the hold of creationism on the public-the hold we see in Brazil, the US, or anywhere else where primary education sucks.
4:16 - Hate to break it to you, Potholer, but you're starting to develop an Aussie accent. Give it a couple more years, and you're going to be speaking like NonStampCollector.
My dog tries to talk to me. There's all kinds of videos on youtube showing dogs and cats responding or initiating vocally to their masters. Of course as far as evidence of simuliarity it's not real scienctific but it is observable. That they can recognize words or that it is how we communicate and that certain words (sounds) result in receiving a desired result.
Just, because someone may or may not have made a mistake in talking about a theory doesn't make them a lier, just mistaken.
@infectingthecrypts He was supposed to get a lobotomy, but the surgeons read out of the bible instead of a medical book, thus they hit the area where you are to do logic.
Ok Man...., slight difference but you would know that...... not !
UK and USA, worst example of the same language but an ocean of difference
Just so you know Mr World traveller, People from the south of Brazil would have a hard time understanding somone who lived all their life in lisbon, but you have spent plenty of time in south America and Europe.....
Please Don't !! I will make you look more stooopid than you already do
Well done arsehole, my wife is half Brazilian, I have an appartment in Coutovello, (20km out side cidade du sol) thats Natal to you numbnuts, so I fully Understand what language they speak, and the differences, probably more than a portuguese national like you tubby self, because I actually get out there and travel and see for myself,
last time you spent a few months in Brazil...........Didn't think so
with some of these guys, i get the distinct impression that they remain willingly stupid and play into the fears of the ignorant in order to make lots of money. Books sales, speaking engagements etc.
Although obviously most do seem to suffer from some sort of psychological disorder.
Typically these guys seem to stay put in the US, amongst the evangelical crowds.
I don't fucking believe that shit about the dog and cat! LMFAO!! That has to be a parody!! Ray Comfort can't be that much of a fucking idiot!!! Jesus Christ!!
As a Mechanical Engineer in training, I really don't see how the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics has ANYTHING to do with this Creationism/Evolutionism argument.
Still, if this law is true, won't the Earth die out quite sooner than you stated in this video Potholer with regards to the "heat death of the universe". (Neglecting the possibility that the universe will "stop" in billions of years.
Anyway, always enjoy watching you vids. Keep up the good work. :-)
I'd always imagine that the big Creationists and fundies like Patton and Pat Robertson meet in secrecy at their hidden base in the swamps, like the Legion of Doom from the Super Friends.
Dogs and cats do actually talk. The way humans evolved with populations of cooperative humans working together and thriving, all mammals have similar tendencies and are much smarted than we give them credit. Dogs experience emotions, and we often describe them as happy, sad, scared, ect. It`s only that they are not able to record language and critical thinking that we don`t think about it. Dogs are capable of remembering roughly 50 expressions which goes for cats, whales, chimps, ect.
I tend to think that a system in maximum entropy is more ordered. Think about it: random distributions of energy and matter, a system different at every point, vs. something completely uniform. Regardless, entropy is entropy and it increases in a system, not every individual thing.
I can't get over the hole in SinCityPreacher's head.
If there's ever a Crocoduck award category for off-the-wall insane rants, Don Patton is a shoe-in.
But I think Ray Comfort has to take the Golden Crocoduck this year... There is no way in hell that he can misunderstand the theory of evolution in such a fundamental way - he has got to be lying through his teeth.
I bet his imaginary talking cat, his imaginary talking dog, his imaginary wife and his imaginary god ar all just imaginary .......... What a PILLOCK !!!
If languages evolve through time that means that suddenly a guy begins speaking french. That means that a female has to evolve french at the same time in the same place so they can have french speakin kids. It's absurd. I take the Babel tower theory.
I hope your jokeing Kam. Ask any engineer or bricklayer you know if you could build a tower up into space using mudbricks, granite and bronze age technology. You should get a quick reply of no dont be an idiot but if he can, NASA would be very interested in a space tower for sure. You guys would make billions!
U merely attack the accuracy of their terminology during the last third of the video. Please do the intelligent thing and try to understand their semantics and actually respond to the assertions they make.
Like chaos -> order = emergence of life in their eyes. The same goes for the difference between strong and fit.
Had you been paying attention you'd realize he did answer their intended questions. Life can gain order, however the overall entropy will increase. Especially for lifeforms, we generate tons of heat, that more than makes up for any negative entropy. He specified that cooperative groups were more fit for survival. Seems like a good reason for the strong (more fit) individuals to not kill the weaker (less fit) individuals.
If God gave people the knowledge to alter the banana for better hand fit and taste then God must be responsible for all human's great ideas. Err, by Comfort's own logic, God must be an evoluationist!
Lets see what else God did. Okay ... we can make small dogs, cats, and bananas. God also gave us the ability to make nuclear bombs so they effectively kill people, dildos so they perfectly fit in vaginas, and child porn so it perfectly fits the needs of pedophiles.
First they say God had the ability to create a perfect fruit that fits in the human hand. Once they realize they fucked up and that man made the banana, they say God gave men the ability to make a banana. WTF is that!? And if we find out that Zeus actually gave us the ability, Christians would just keep going with their usual bullshit and say God gave Zeus the ability to give man the ability to create a banana. That's how Christians rationalize shit for everything, including the banana issue.
Christians are pathetic. Period. This is what they are good at doing. Once they are proven to be wrong, they twist it around to make themselves right. If proven again wrong, they'll just keep twisting things. They are too stubborn and have too much pride to admit fault. They can't give up their faith and realize their god doesn't exist. They cannot accept evolution no matter how widely accepted it is by the scientific community. They ignore science, and foolishly follow their faith.
I love your commentary over Don Patton, lol. Since Hovind one last year, I have a feeling it's Comfort's year to shine, but these YouTube users that have been nominated are pretty... worth contenders themselves. I can't wait for all the nominees to be revealed.
I believe that the frequent transmogrification of "fittest" in to "strongest" by theists comes from a misunderstanding of the word. When people colloquially talk about fitness, it is often synonymous with strength obtained by exercise.
This is similar to the mistaking of the scientific definition of the word "theory" with the colloquial one.
It is important to explain what "fit" means in the context of evolution (i.e., well adapted), otherwise even the smarter idiots will never understand.
A closed system which has reachd maximum entropy is not the wild, constantly changing, chaotic mess that many creationists would like you to believe, it is unchanging stasis. Even the degradation of matter requires effort, and effort requires that energy be available. At maximum entropy there is no usable energy left. So it makes sense that as our universe grinds slowly toward maximum entropy that fewer changes would occur, although we don't really know whether the universe is a closed system.
I guess you are not using the bullshit buzzer this year is because it broke last year from overuse. When the replacement buzzer comes make sure it can handle the creationist crap.
P.S. love the series and good job on the debunking!!!
Good vid, but in the rebuttal to Tilford you seem to intimate that individual characteristics that are beneficial to group survival are selected for. My understanding is that group selection does not exist.
Selection of behavior that improves group cohesiveness DOES exist. It simply acts on the individual. In other words, individuals who acquired the tendency to cooperate better with others had an advantage over those who did not, and thus their genetic traits propagated throughout their populations and increased cooperation in human populations.
5 stars. lol. perfectly fit his wife *insert sex joke here*. these creationists are more fun then winning a mio. dallars, going to disney land, drinking beer, getting high and getting laid at the same time lol
I do wish people would stop thinking of evolution in terms of individuals - it's so misleading. Think *genes* and *populations* and it's much easier to get a handle on it.
These creationists talk as if no scientist has ever considered the idea of a "male dog not being able to find a female dog". So either, all the scientists in the world are idiots, or the creationist who has no idea how speciation works is the idiot. What is more likely? Hmmm...
Actually that "2nd law of thermodynamics" was how Erwin Schrodinger defined life. Not a biologist, but an interesting treatise non the less.

Great! Just one thing... the coerrect is Adauto Lourenço(not Loureco) is a Brazilian creationist.
In a country that needs so much education, now comes people like this one-cell-brain (or just an opportunist) to screw things up.

and brazil and portugal speak the same too, fool,only diferent accents...

and yes, yes, there are dialects too, no way out for u .

Well done arsehole, my wife is half Brazilian, I have an appartment in Coutovello, (20km out side cidade du sol) thats Natal to you numbnuts, so I fully Understand what language they speak, and the differences, probably more than a portuguese national like you tubby self, because I actually get out there and travel and see for myself,

Still, if this law is true, won't the Earth die out quite sooner than you stated in this video Potholer with regards to the "heat death of the universe". (Neglecting the possibility that the universe will "stop" in billions of years.
Anyway, always enjoy watching you vids. Keep up the good work. :-)

Dogs and cats do actually talk. The way humans evolved with populations of cooperative humans working together and thriving, all mammals have similar tendencies and are much smarted than we give them credit. Dogs experience emotions, and we often describe them as happy, sad, scared, ect. It`s only that they are not able to record language and critical thinking that we don`t think about it. Dogs are capable of remembering roughly 50 expressions which goes for cats, whales, chimps, ect.

I tend to think that a system in maximum entropy is more ordered. Think about it: random distributions of energy and matter, a system different at every point, vs. something completely uniform. Regardless, entropy is entropy and it increases in a system, not every individual thing.

Dr. Earl Tilford Jr. merely fail to prove his point that the theory of evolution has a rational link to support exploitation of the weak.
Sahrinzs 2 years ago
U merely attack the accuracy of their terminology during the last third of the video. Please do the intelligent thing and try to understand their semantics and actually respond to the assertions they make.
Like chaos -> order = emergence of life in their eyes. The same goes for the difference between strong and fit.
Sahrinzs 2 years ago
Had you been paying attention you'd realize he did answer their intended questions. Life can gain order, however the overall entropy will increase. Especially for lifeforms, we generate tons of heat, that more than makes up for any negative entropy. He specified that cooperative groups were more fit for survival. Seems like a good reason for the strong (more fit) individuals to not kill the weaker (less fit) individuals.
YashinNashi 2 years ago
Well that is the point, he attacks their faulty terminology as in they do not mean entropy when saying chaos.
As well as Dr Earl did assert killing the weak would support the strong without proof.

Lets see what else God did. Okay ... we can make small dogs, cats, and bananas. God also gave us the ability to make nuclear bombs so they effectively kill people, dildos so they perfectly fit in vaginas, and child porn so it perfectly fits the needs of pedophiles.
lesliekwan80 2 years ago
First they say God had the ability to create a perfect fruit that fits in the human hand. Once they realize they fucked up and that man made the banana, they say God gave men the ability to make a banana. WTF is that!? And if we find out that Zeus actually gave us the ability, Christians would just keep going with their usual bullshit and say God gave Zeus the ability to give man the ability to create a banana. That's how Christians rationalize shit for everything, including the banana issue.

Christians are pathetic. Period. This is what they are good at doing. Once they are proven to be wrong, they twist it around to make themselves right. If proven again wrong, they'll just keep twisting things. They are too stubborn and have too much pride to admit fault. They can't give up their faith and realize their god doesn't exist. They cannot accept evolution no matter how widely accepted it is by the scientific community. They ignore science, and foolishly follow their faith.

Towedwart 2 years ago
I believe that the frequent transmogrification of "fittest" in to "strongest" by theists comes from a misunderstanding of the word. When people colloquially talk about fitness, it is often synonymous with strength obtained by exercise.
This is similar to the mistaking of the scientific definition of the word "theory" with the colloquial one.
It is important to explain what "fit" means in the context of evolution (i.e., well adapted), otherwise even the smarter idiots will never understand.
LittleJon2000 2 years ago
A closed system which has reachd maximum entropy is not the wild, constantly changing, chaotic mess that many creationists would like you to believe, it is unchanging stasis. Even the degradation of matter requires effort, and effort requires that energy be available. At maximum entropy there is no usable energy left. So it makes sense that as our universe grinds slowly toward maximum entropy that fewer changes would occur, although we don't really know whether the universe is a closed system.

Good vid, but in the rebuttal to Tilford you seem to intimate that individual characteristics that are beneficial to group survival are selected for. My understanding is that group selection does not exist.
allesandroalgardi 2 years ago
Selection of behavior that improves group cohesiveness DOES exist. It simply acts on the individual. In other words, individuals who acquired the tendency to cooperate better with others had an advantage over those who did not, and thus their genetic traits propagated throughout their populations and increased cooperation in human populations.

When a person uses simplistic arguments to refute your opponent, one of the following is true:
1. That person's opponent has no idea what they're talking about, or
2. That person has no idea what they're talking about.
And who is more likely to have no idea what they're talking about: a Ph.D. biologist, or a person who thinks science was sent from the devil?

These creationists talk as if no scientist has ever considered the idea of a "male dog not being able to find a female dog". So either, all the scientists in the world are idiots, or the creationist who has no idea how speciation works is the idiot. What is more likely? Hmmm...
