@Evarose135 You realize that evolution through mutation occurs as a result of reproduction, right? You're right about the cells not all mutating at once, because it's typically understood to be a few mutations during the organism's development which propagate as the organism grows and the mutated cell reproduces. Besides, even if there had only been ONE mutation ON EARTH PER YEAR since life was created, it's still enough to mutate every gene in the human genome over 120,000 times.
@Evarose135 Evolution has been observed, measured, modeled and physically been constructed in a laboratory. It is not only likely but actuality. Your ignorance does not disprove science.
@Evarose135 That's not what The Big Bang Theory is about, what you're describing is a simplified version most likely told to kids to get a general idea. If you really are interested in learning what it is in more detail, look it up. Also, "prove it"? The Big Bang Theory is just that, a theory. It might be wrong, or it might be true, but it's the one that currently fits and explains more about why the "space" behaves as it does, AKA the one more likely.
@ultraveburas All your comment is rubbish, I thought I'd find an explanation to "Sorry, the big bang theory is incorrect". Don't go around making statements you can't support.
@ultraveburas Yes, you can, the lenght of the Youtube commentaries is not an excuse. Also, "prophecies" and monopoly have nothing to do with the big bang being true of false. If so many prophecies have come true, according to you, name just one.
Okay, no offense, but are you stupid? Read what's next to the eye, "As Seen On". It's a Youtube feature that redirects you to another page where this video has been posted. Eyes are a simple symbol used in many ways and meanings.
@ultraveburas Why do you think Google is "taking all over the sites"? Because it's a great company that does great things in a great way, they know how to do business proper and keep expanding by buying new companies (like Youtube).
My advice to you, start using your brain more instead of believing in baseless crap like conspiracies, prophecies, and religion.
@ultraveburas Trying to feed people with false information isn't helping. Also, I didn't ask for prophecies, I asked for proof (if you say the 9/11 is in the Bible, show me WHERE.). The lenght of comments isn't an excuse, write two or send me a private message.
@ultraveburas Actually nearly every single religion promises a form of after life, it is in fact the basis of practically all religion in the world, acting on man's basic instinct of fearing death, and the hope that an omnipotent being might just save use from the complete nothingness.
And these so called prophecies are merely interpreting the bible in a way that makes it seem like something is suddenly there. Make a prophecy using the bible before it happens, and you'll then have an argument

I really love TMBG, but I'm a tad disappointed.....putting angels in the same category as unicorns and elves? Sorry, guys, but you are way off here. Not everything in the world or the universe is explained by science.
@Born2bRedeemed That's probably true, but I can see how angels fit into the category of elves and unicorns. They're both creatures that aren't seen, and are only there because we imagined them, or appeared in documents of fiction.
@Born2bRedeemed Yea everyone knows that there is way more evidence for elves than for unicorns or angels. I have a very old book that i base my life around called "Lord of the Rings" and it says that elves are real. If you want something to be real, you just have to wish for it hard enough, and it becomes real.
When I was a kid, the idea of presenting a concept as complex as DNA to children was probably almost always dismissed as something too complex for them to understand... I have to wonder how different society would be today if the curiosity of children was not so underestimated.
@LedOutMan if you think that's true then whatever floats your boat man but there is proof of other facts and how do you know if dinosaurs really were put on the earth just to test our faith? were you there or do you just not want to know the truth and facts?
@BluegrassAtheist Your reasoning seems circular; you are saying the reason nothing can exist outside the natural world is because nothing does exist outside the natural world. You're using your argument to validate itself. By the definition of supernatural, anything falling under it would not be bound under natural causes. How do you know that the only possibilities are natural?
@Zamboro How do you explain things like love, creativity, and imagination using only nature? How do you explain the intellect and the desire to learn for nothing more than the sake of understanding? To me, there is clearly an element of ourselves that is beyond naturalistic or purely scientific explanation. We can study electrical impulses in the brain and chemicals in the body, but we can't isolate a thought or a desire or an emotion.
What? Yes we can. Have you kept up to date on cognitive neurobiology? Using functional magnetic resonance imagers we're able to map emotions like love, anger, fear, sadness and so on precisely enough that even patients the scanner's not calibrated for can climb into it, and it can determine which emotions they're experiencing.
Youtube won't allow me to post the link, but google "Love's all in the brain: fMRI study" and it'll be the first result.
@Zamboro I'm not up on that, but an MRI is merely taking a picture of the brain at a certain time. Even if you assembled them to observe gradual changes, you're still looking at a picture of reactive activity, not the source. Even if you can read what the body does when an emotion is felt and then use that information to say "this person is feeling sad" when you see the same signs in another individual, it doesn't explain what causes those physical reactions.
@Zamboro I think I'm sounding a little vague, but what I'm saying is that such technology isn't showing why we get emotional at all. It can't be purely instinctive response, as in animals, because not all of our emotional being is about serving basic needs. Why is it that we find a painting beautiful? Why are we curious about what lies beyond Earth? Why do we desire the company of others when we don't need their help to function? These things don't reflect natural behavior.
Not for simpler animals, no. But we have more complex brains and engage in what are called "evolutionarily novel" behaviors. This is because we've advanced to the point where we no longer struggle to survive, so we can afford to develop behaviors that evolution would not select for.
Epigenetics also plays a role; the passing on of traits that are non-genetic, in oral traditions, books, films and so on. We can pass on learned behaviors without them being coded as instinct.
@Zamboro But wouldn't such behaviors then develop in an extremely random and sporadic way? How could they come to be so universally felt by our species in the absence of directional selection in their favor? I would think that if there were a single hominid who developed a creative drive, say to make a painting, no one else would have the capacity to care, and the trait would perish with him or her.
As for epigenetics, that doesn't necessarily imply a natural source.
No not completely random, because we don't live alone. We live in groups and thus influence one anothers' behavior. But yes, one isolated group would develop and pass on novel behaviors unlike those of other isolate groups. It's called "culture".
As for creative drive, that arrived (as evidenced by the relatively sudden appearance of cave paintings) at the exact same time that human remains with a different skull shape appear in the fossil record; You see, there is a single
gene in most primates that controls for the density of a jaw muscle that arcs over the top of the skull. If you've ever noticed that primate infants have high domed foreheads like humans, but that the adults have an odd, dual-lump "peanut" shaped skull, that's why. The development of that muscle constrains the growth of the braincase in juveniles while the skull is still relatively soft. "Lucy", a hominid fossil dated to the first appearances of cave art, had a comparatively weak jaw
muscle, and in fact a smaller, more childlike jaw; it's an example of what we now call neoteny or pedomorphism, a phenomena where traits typical of infants or juveniles are preserved into adulthood because the opposite sex finds them appealing. Lucy, with the small jaw and skull/facial proportions of a juvenile, was probably very attractive to her contemporaries, which may have been the sole reason that her genes persisted. At any rate, it meant a 3x volume increase for the braincase.
Society's preoccupation with the "supernatural" is completely insincere. Its proponents like to defend it as "things we can't explain," but what it is in practice is "things where I want the explanation to be magic." If "we can't explain" something, why do you then proceed to explain it with ghosts, monsters, UFOs and ESP? "I can't explain it, therefore, it's ghosts/God/etc." Makes the same amount of sense as "I don't know what color it is. Therefore, it must be blue."
@spencerly71, you make it sound like a "theory" is something someone dremt up after being drunk all night. clearly you have little understanding of science.
p.s. gravity is "just a theory" ...hope you dont float away!
@xander70769 Might I point out that gravity is a directly observable/testable theory, whereas the big bang theory is not? You can't use the fact that gravity is a theory to justify science's stoic defense of the big bang or evolution; they aren't nearly on the same level. Science's faith in evolution and the big bang is just as religious as faith in God. I know that microevolution can be observed, but I don't accept that it is the mechanism by which all life came about.
@AstralDragoon 'Science' and the 'scientific community' are different. Science is a method that does not include faith or belief of any description; the scientific community is a bunch of people who try really hard to think scientifically, despite the fact that we humans are quite rubbish at doing so.
I'm sure many people do have a kind of faith in evolution, but that's because our silly little brains start complaining when we can't give a simple yes or no answer. Science does not = scientists.

Truth is what's real.
"Science is whats real"
Not necessarily. Things in science have been right before. But not all things can be proven by it. When it comes to the supernatural and how the earth came to be, it is wrong.
You say it's wrong because it doesn't measure up to what you believe to be right, and what you believe is determined by hearsay and lies. I'm sorry. You're wrong.
Science is not perfect. Science doesn't have all the answers, yet. It's knowledge of the material world gleaned from observation and experimentation. Anything you call "supernatural" would be observed as natural IF it were in fact actually there.

They really have you fooled, don't they? Try watching David Blaine. There's supernatural for ya. It's a trick!
Devil don't go around possessing little girls. If he did exist, he'd have better things to do. Pump someone full of the right kinds of drugs and they'll believe they are possessed by Elvis! The rest is just smoke & mirrors.
I'm done w/this "argument." When you want to come back to sanity, then we can talk.

Who's really fooled me?Are you saying being possessed or feeling evil spirits is bs? Well that's not true. I don't need to watch David Blaine to know what's real. Believe it or not, i've felt an evil spirit before. Twice, to be exact. The devil will try anything he can to get u to go to hell. So are all ppl who r possessed on drugs? Nah. I'm done with this conversation too.
@TomSFox Um, not rly, no. "Supernatural" are things that can't be explained by natural causes, at least with any logical answer. What I mean is the answers that people try to feed u about how they're "explained" are illogical. I can see how ppl think that "supernatural" is just bs. If you've never felt or seen anything like it, alot of times u don't believe in it. It isn't a bunch of crap.
AshelyJ26: "Why do you think Jesus died on the cross?" That's a whole other kettle of fish. You'd think JC woulda called me up by now asking why he's no longer my copilot.
What evidence have I that JC died on a cross? Aside from the bible and other 'proof' given by the Church. The Shroud of Turin? Disproven. The Holy Grail? Never found. That was 2000 years ago. All we have is hearsay that it ever even happened.
You need to believe what is not there. I no longer do. That's the difference.
You're pointing out all the "flaws" of Christianity. You're saying that I should believe in it simply because it hasn't been "proven". Where's you're proof? The proof without flaws? I'd like to see it. I HAVE though it through. I looked at all the ends of the stick, not just one part, and tried to make my decision. And I made it. That's the difference.
Would you think that every brick, every stone, RANDOMLY fell from the sky and created it? Of course not. But that's the Big Bang Theory isn't it? That completely RANDOM explosions happened, and everything fell NEATLY into place by chance. But that's not possible. Thus, I am a Christan Scientist.
You don't understand the difference between random and unpredictable. Also, you don't know that the "big bang" wasn't an explosion. There are probably a few other points to raise as well, but the core of it is, you don't seem to understand jack about the science you've rejected.
I believe in both. People proved spontaneous generation wrong (The mistaken idea that living organisms could arise from non-living organisms). Virchow proved that only cells come from other cells. This I believe in. But then the question arises: Where did the first cell come from? I believe that God created man, the plants, and animals. Say you were walking in the woods, and you came across an old castle.
Most bacteria DON'T cause disease, actually. Yes, a lot of them do, but there are types of bacteria in your stomach used to further digest foods. And as for the "100 years ago" thing doesn't mean anything. Nicolaus Copernicus was the first astronomer to think that the Earth revolves around the Sun. He lived from 1473 to 1543. Let's go 20 or so years into the future. Galileo Galilei. For sure, you heard of him. He was the one who proved Copernicus's theory. They say he paved
They say he paved the way for modern science. And he died in 1642. (his birth was in 1564). So let's see.... 2010 - 1642 = 368. So it doesn't matter what TIME period you come from, your information can still be accurate.
Copernicus is a wonderful example to bring up, because in fact his model of the solar system, while a massive improvement over the geocentric, was subsequently shown to be quite wrong. Copernican astronomy was a huge step, but other than the fundamentally heliocentric nature of his theory, the rest of it turned out to be wrong. Why? Because science continued to happen.
Virchow didn't argue that "most bacteria don't cause disease", but against the whole notion of antisepsis. He was wrong about that, wrong about Darwin's findings and wrong about cells only ever coming from other cells, and I point out the time lapse because there have been over a hundred intervening years of science that have shown this.
It's not that he was a bad scientist, but some of his ideas were wrong, no matter how appealing they might be to you.
"A scientific theory Isn't just a hunch or guess It's more like a question That's been put through a lot of tests And when a theory emerges Consistent with the facts The proof is with science The truth is with science"
The Big Band Theory is a theory because all observed evidence points to it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The truth isn't always with science. Evolution was created to try to prove God wrong. So they tried they're hardest to find so called proof that there isn't one. But thats nvr gonna happen.
Evolution has nothing to do with god. Evolution theory only talks about the strange recurring fact that all life on earth seems to be related somehow when you look at it on a DNA level. It's not a hunch or a guess. It's more like a question that's been through a lot of tests. The evolution theory emerged because these strange similarities have seemed to line up together.
Maybe God designed evolution to keep life running on this planet.
Though if you ARE looking at fact you will see that not all things are related. Take the only thing on the planet that has about 47% of DNA not found anywhere on our planet for example. Humans have parts of our DNA missing. Thats what the missing link is. If you really want to understand you would have to look up Annunaki. We are not completely related like everything else is on earth evolution or not. Aliens man, I'm telling you its aliens. Laugh if you want cause I laugh at you and your "god"
There's not the slightest bit of evidence in your favor. Something to think about, the countries with the highest levels of agnostics/atheists are the ones that have the highest levels of happiness, best education, best health care. Religion is so so silly. And I happily tell you that atheism is on the rise, yes indeed. Rationality is winning over insane bonkers religion. Have you ever watched a debate on the topic of religion, atheist vs. religious folk? It's very entertaining and educational!
There is evidence in my favor. Yes, but with good, comes bad. Look at some celebrities, they get a bunch of money and fame and it goes to their head. I know that more and more ppl in America are becoming atheists, but what does that have to do with me or my beliefs? I've heard ppl argue on atheism and Christianity. it just gives me more faith. If you listen to Christians who know their stuff, you'll actually see tht there is stuff in r favor. Do some research somewhere besides atheism sites.
"Evolution was created to try to prove God wrong." I'd ask you for evidence that supports that statement, but I'm guessing that's not how you arrive at your conclusions.
No it's not all correct, but in general it's how we come to understand things, we progress because of science, technology, and understanding. Science provides real answers. Religion is a bunch of unproved hocus pocus that you'd have to be seriously brainwashed to believe in. I've seen the light! thank Richard Dawkins, Sam Harrs, Daniel Dennett and Christopher Hitchens : )
You don't have to be brainwashed to believe in something. I believe in God, who are you to say i'm brainwashed just cuz I believe in Him? I believe in Him for me, not you. I believe what I believe for me.
I used to believe too, AshelyJ26. Just ask yourself this: does ANYTHING that you take to be credible, aside from religion, ask you to believe without proof?
Faith is belief without proof. If there's no proof, it's a lie.
Once proof of a god appears, I'm sure everyone will jump on the god bandwagon, but there's no logic behind blind faith. You put your faith on anecdotal evidence and hearsay. There's no substance to religion. Please think it through.
Have you actually looked into proof of God? Studied theoligy? Doubt it. If you had, you'd know that there are so many things pointing to Him. I have thought it through. Very hard. And is there actually undeniable evidence with evolution? No. Maybe when you actually start to search into it more, somewhere besides Christian-hating sites. Maybe then u would think it through a little more.
AshelyJ26, there is no such thing as undeniable evidence. You can deny anything, even if the evidence is true. There are people who still demand the Earth is flat, despite more than sufficient evidence to the contrary. I was a Christian for forty years. I've become an atheist by default. I HAVE thought it through, and when you do, so will you. You haven't yet. I can tell, because you're still believing the lie. Good luck with that.
Yes, you can deny anything if you want, but with the earth being round, there is no flaws. It just is. But with evolution, there still is. Don't act like isn't. And I have thought it through, maybe you have to, but just cuz i'm Christian doesn't mean I haven't "thought it through".
AshleyJ26: "just cuz i'm Christian doesn't mean I haven't "thought it through". "
Yes it does, but you won't be able to take my word for it. I couldn't take anyone's word for it. I had to find out on my own. Hopefully you will think it thru someday. Or you can just continue believing the lie.
Evolution may not be a perfect theory, but it's a theory that doesn't ignore the evidence. Where in the bible are the dinosaurs mentioned? Nowhere, because the men who wrote it didn't know about them.
No it doesn't. You may thought it through, or at least think you did, but who knows. Why would the Bible mention dinosaurs? Why do you think the Bible was written? Why do you think Jesus died on the cross? He didn't die for "the dinosaurs" He died for us. The ppl that chose to follow Him. I have found myself doubting a tin bit earlier in the year, but every time, just found more to lead to God. You may think i'm a blind religious freak, but i'm not blind.
AshelyJ26: "Why would the Bible mention dinosaurs?" You're right. The men who wrote the bible wouldn't mention dinosaurs because they didn't know about them. Yet your god is allegedly omniscient? Hmmm...
"Why do you think the Bible was written?" To fool us into thinking there is a god so we would submit to religious leaders. Do an historical study on Roman Catholicism. It's quite eye opening.
You may not be blind, but the wool is over your eyes pretty good. If you have evidence of God, you would be the FIRST person in history to have it. There is no God, no Jesus Christ, no Allah, no Zuess, No Odin. The only thing I can say to you is try cracking a science book and not a story book. Superman is a great story, once could have faith that it / he is real, but that doesn't make it so.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Depends on what you'd call evidence. Scientific evidence seems to be what anyone cares about anymore. Adam and Eve had evidence of God, the Holy Spirit is evidence of God, etc. Although u don't believe in Adam and Eve. God and Jesus Christ ARE real. I have studied science, and the Bible isn't some "story book". Superman is FICTION. Look up superman on wikipedia. And then God. Superman is fiction, God is REAL.
HAHAHAHAHAHHA, normally I would post something actually arguing the points you've made. You've made no points, so in lieu of my normal snarky replies, I'll just laugh at you...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH....HA!
@AshelyJ26, yeah your making quite the claim stating jesus and god to be real and fact, when theres no backing evidence whatsoever. Superman has just as much evidence for existing the the biblical god. you believing in god is just as delusional as a grown person believing in santa.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@xander70769 And how do u know that nothing whatsoever points to God? In order to say that, you have to look very hard. You are wrong. I'm done arguing about this here hearing the same thing over and over. If you wanna know why I believe or why believing in Jesus is much more logical than santa, just msg me.
And Zachs, can you disprove God? I've had many experiences that were just plain unexplainable. Call them coincidences if you like- I call it God. You can't disprove a lot of things. Science is good for knowledge, yes, but there are even some areas that science cannot reach. Heredity code's analogy could be a programmed language. It takes a mighty intelligent mind to create a programming language, and to fill it with life.
Fireicee1: "can you disprove God?" I don't have to. The burden of proof is on the believer, not the disbeliever.
Can you believe unicorns exist? Or magic? Or the Easter bunny? Of course not. Why? They don't exist.
I can prove fire exists. I can prove water exists. I can prove DNA exists, given the right tools. I can even prove a shadow exists. I can't prove there's a god, and until I can prove there is a god, I'm not gonna make one up to fill some perceived gap that isn't there.
this video has a good message. It's important to know the value of fantasy, but some time or another kids are going to find out that there's a real world (most kids anyway). They might as well hear it from TMBG first
I don't get it, who said that Science wasn't real? Aside from some biased Theists. Also, who said that all myths are not real? Some things are myths simply because the person who discovered it did not document it, that still happens today mind you. Other issues are myths because the issue is so old and all documentation of the issue has been lost to time. Anyhow, Science is definitely real - wow, to the moron that denies that.
I like how you use words like theory and fact without having a clue what they mean. Perhaps you should listen to the rest of the song, which corrects your misinformation.
If i was a girl, i would get pregnant as many times as possible, then have abortions after the third month of being pregnant so i would deliver a potato sized 1/3 developed dead fetus, then i would take the fetus, put it in a jar of preservative liquid and put it on a shelf in a secret room in my house, and i would do it until i had so many that the rooms walls were nothing but potato sized aborted fetuses, then i would have a kid and when they're bad i would make them sit in the fetus room.
science and religion can go hand in hand- they run parallel, they aren't opposite, the only disagreements lie in things science can't prove, like inter-species evolution and the spark of life- stop making divisions!
inter-species evolution has been proven, it's just that religious literalists and creationists conveniently ignore this. They are the ones making divisions.
i'm sorry i meant inter- order and family evolution- yes species does cross; evolution is how each were formed, but there are too great a number of differences between the order and families of primates and humans- cranial capacity, bone size ratios, it's just not possible-
You fail to realize that 99% of all primate species are extinct, and only a small fraction of those have been discovered. Of those that have been discovered none have falsified the Idea of divergence from common ancestry they have only supported it. Why is that?
because they Did all come from a common ancestor, just like all dogs wolves and coyotes share one, and every species of bird shares one, and every species of horse shares one- all humans (asians, africans, whites hispanics, eskimos) all share one too, but not an ancestor from another class or family.
You claim that every species of bird shares a common ancestor but there are hundreds of families of birds, which IS a class. How is it possible they are related then by your own argument?
Also, there is only one species of horse and that is a horse of course. You really need to understand this stuff in order to form an opinion on it. There is also only one species of human H. s. sapiens. Ethnicity does not count as species. Nice try.
Also, how do you explain Archaeopteryx and feathered dinosaurs?
Wiki "Evolution of cetaceans" and explain away all the transitional forms between Pakicetus and modern whales. The two are completely different yet we have many transitional forms in between that neatly fit morphologically and chronologically and you could mistake each one for being in the same family of the one before it and the one after it. Yet the result doesn't even have the same number of limbs.
Scientist said the world was flat. Scientists said the Earth was the center of the universe. Scientist said the atom was the smallest particle possible. Science is real for the next 20-30 years until scientist completely redefine their latest discoveries.
Science is constantly progressing. It is a good thing. Otherwise we would still believe that the world is flat and we would be bleeding ourselves to death in an attempt to purge disease. If science wasnt constantly changing it would be detrimentally similar to religion.
aurondud3's list, priests also stated how the earth was 6000 years old....and the mentally challenged/disabled were to be possessed by demons . Without science or the science of psychology we would still be performing exorcism on those ppl.
Most bigots aren't very smart, and you don't appear to be an exception, so it's probably a waste of my time responding, but I'll try to make it simple for you:
Not everyone on the planet is the same race that you are, not everyone is of the same nationality as you, or part of the same religion or the same culture. You probably know this, but my point (with which, as a bigot, you'll certainly take exception) is that to present negative stereotypes of these people in order to demean them is wrong

GradStud28--"to present negative stereotypes of these people in order to demean them is wrong"
-It isn't necessary to do that because they do the demeaning to themselves and bring it upon themselves, obviously. Otherwise they wouldn't dare try to pull off BS.
I agree not all ppl come from the same group but seeing how the majority isn't helping much to their cause shows they are filled with more flaw than others.
The scientific method--praised in this song by TMBG--can actually help people overcome this kind of bigotry (be it anti-religious, cultural, ethnic, etc.). For example:
"the majority isn't helping much to their cause" - if by this you mean the majority of Catholic priests or lay people, the most cursory investigation will show you this isn't true. (For a scientific study, you could read sociologist Andrew Greeley's book "Priests" by the University of Chicago Press.)
Infamatory statements like "scoutmasters, teachers, and rabbis sodomize little boys" misprepresent these groups, are insulting to the overwhelmingly vast majority of good people who are part of those cultures, and are insulting to *real* victims of sexual abuse.
Misrepresenting data on a particular group in order to castigate them or justify bigotry isn't new, but it is dishonest, unconscionable, and un-scientific.

I really like this band but am disappointed in them. I thought they were above this kind of attack on personal spiritual beliefs. I never took them for propagandists before but it looks like that position will have to be changed.
Yes beliefs do "exist", but not in the same way that evolution does - there have been years of testing and experiments to find the evidence that evolution is in fact a real phenomenom. There have been no tests to see if God exists - because there is no way of knowing if he does, therefore he currently isn't real at all. The only time spiritual beliefs exist is in people's heads.
actually yes, beliefs exist in exactly the same way evolution does. The existence of a God is a separate issue. I'm agnostic so you won't get any argument from me that there is no way to prove the existence of God but there is also no way to prove that God does not exist so stating that God does not exist is not the next logical conclusion.
Well we have to assume that Bigfoot doesn't exist until it is proven that he does. We can argue that he MIGHT, but that doesn't mean he should be put into science books.
All this song promotes is the idea that facts should be taken above beliefs. It's not anti-religion and neither am I. The idea that Science is more important when understanding our universe than religion is, is just common sense.
When I was younger I was a fan of TMBG, forgot about them for years.. As an adult, I've rediscovered them, and this album earned them a whole new realm of respect from me.

@Evarose135 You realize that evolution through mutation occurs as a result of reproduction, right? You're right about the cells not all mutating at once, because it's typically understood to be a few mutations during the organism's development which propagate as the organism grows and the mutated cell reproduces. Besides, even if there had only been ONE mutation ON EARTH PER YEAR since life was created, it's still enough to mutate every gene in the human genome over 120,000 times.

@Evarose135 That's not what The Big Bang Theory is about, what you're describing is a simplified version most likely told to kids to get a general idea. If you really are interested in learning what it is in more detail, look it up. Also, "prove it"? The Big Bang Theory is just that, a theory. It might be wrong, or it might be true, but it's the one that currently fits and explains more about why the "space" behaves as it does, AKA the one more likely.
Why are you even telling me this, anyway?

@ultraveburas Actually nearly every single religion promises a form of after life, it is in fact the basis of practically all religion in the world, acting on man's basic instinct of fearing death, and the hope that an omnipotent being might just save use from the complete nothingness.
And these so called prophecies are merely interpreting the bible in a way that makes it seem like something is suddenly there. Make a prophecy using the bible before it happens, and you'll then have an argument

@Zamboro How do you explain things like love, creativity, and imagination using only nature? How do you explain the intellect and the desire to learn for nothing more than the sake of understanding? To me, there is clearly an element of ourselves that is beyond naturalistic or purely scientific explanation. We can study electrical impulses in the brain and chemicals in the body, but we can't isolate a thought or a desire or an emotion.
AstralDragoon 11 months ago
@AstralDragoon
What? Yes we can. Have you kept up to date on cognitive neurobiology? Using functional magnetic resonance imagers we're able to map emotions like love, anger, fear, sadness and so on precisely enough that even patients the scanner's not calibrated for can climb into it, and it can determine which emotions they're experiencing.
Youtube won't allow me to post the link, but google "Love's all in the brain: fMRI study" and it'll be the first result.
Zamboro 11 months ago
@Zamboro I'm not up on that, but an MRI is merely taking a picture of the brain at a certain time. Even if you assembled them to observe gradual changes, you're still looking at a picture of reactive activity, not the source. Even if you can read what the body does when an emotion is felt and then use that information to say "this person is feeling sad" when you see the same signs in another individual, it doesn't explain what causes those physical reactions.
AstralDragoon 11 months ago
@Zamboro I think I'm sounding a little vague, but what I'm saying is that such technology isn't showing why we get emotional at all. It can't be purely instinctive response, as in animals, because not all of our emotional being is about serving basic needs. Why is it that we find a painting beautiful? Why are we curious about what lies beyond Earth? Why do we desire the company of others when we don't need their help to function? These things don't reflect natural behavior.
AstralDragoon 11 months ago
@AstralDragoon
Not for simpler animals, no. But we have more complex brains and engage in what are called "evolutionarily novel" behaviors. This is because we've advanced to the point where we no longer struggle to survive, so we can afford to develop behaviors that evolution would not select for.
Epigenetics also plays a role; the passing on of traits that are non-genetic, in oral traditions, books, films and so on. We can pass on learned behaviors without them being coded as instinct.
Zamboro 11 months ago
@Zamboro But wouldn't such behaviors then develop in an extremely random and sporadic way? How could they come to be so universally felt by our species in the absence of directional selection in their favor? I would think that if there were a single hominid who developed a creative drive, say to make a painting, no one else would have the capacity to care, and the trait would perish with him or her.
As for epigenetics, that doesn't necessarily imply a natural source.
AstralDragoon 11 months ago
@AstralDragoon
No not completely random, because we don't live alone. We live in groups and thus influence one anothers' behavior. But yes, one isolated group would develop and pass on novel behaviors unlike those of other isolate groups. It's called "culture".
As for creative drive, that arrived (as evidenced by the relatively sudden appearance of cave paintings) at the exact same time that human remains with a different skull shape appear in the fossil record; You see, there is a single

gene in most primates that controls for the density of a jaw muscle that arcs over the top of the skull. If you've ever noticed that primate infants have high domed foreheads like humans, but that the adults have an odd, dual-lump "peanut" shaped skull, that's why. The development of that muscle constrains the growth of the braincase in juveniles while the skull is still relatively soft. "Lucy", a hominid fossil dated to the first appearances of cave art, had a comparatively weak jaw
Zamboro 11 months ago
@Zamboro
muscle, and in fact a smaller, more childlike jaw; it's an example of what we now call neoteny or pedomorphism, a phenomena where traits typical of infants or juveniles are preserved into adulthood because the opposite sex finds them appealing. Lucy, with the small jaw and skull/facial proportions of a juvenile, was probably very attractive to her contemporaries, which may have been the sole reason that her genes persisted. At any rate, it meant a 3x volume increase for the braincase.
Zamboro 11 months ago
Society's preoccupation with the "supernatural" is completely insincere. Its proponents like to defend it as "things we can't explain," but what it is in practice is "things where I want the explanation to be magic." If "we can't explain" something, why do you then proceed to explain it with ghosts, monsters, UFOs and ESP? "I can't explain it, therefore, it's ghosts/God/etc." Makes the same amount of sense as "I don't know what color it is. Therefore, it must be blue."

Science's faith in evolution and the big bang is just as religious as faith in God. I know that microevolution can be observed, but I don't accept that it is the mechanism by which all life came about.

Copernicus is a wonderful example to bring up, because in fact his model of the solar system, while a massive improvement over the geocentric, was subsequently shown to be quite wrong. Copernican astronomy was a huge step, but other than the fundamentally heliocentric nature of his theory, the rest of it turned out to be wrong. Why? Because science continued to happen.
kufr72 2 years ago
Virchow didn't argue that "most bacteria don't cause disease", but against the whole notion of antisepsis. He was wrong about that, wrong about Darwin's findings and wrong about cells only ever coming from other cells, and I point out the time lapse because there have been over a hundred intervening years of science that have shown this.
It's not that he was a bad scientist, but some of his ideas were wrong, no matter how appealing they might be to you.

AshelyJ26, there is no such thing as undeniable evidence. You can deny anything, even if the evidence is true.

Science is good for knowledge, yes, but there are even some areas that science cannot reach. Heredity code's analogy could be a programmed language. It takes a mighty intelligent mind to create a programming language, and to fill it with life.

Fireicee1: "can you disprove God?" I don't have to. The burden of proof is on the believer, not the disbeliever.
Can you believe unicorns exist? Or magic? Or the Easter bunny? Of course not. Why? They don't exist.
I can prove fire exists. I can prove water exists. I can prove DNA exists, given the right tools. I can even prove a shadow exists. I can't prove there's a god, and until I can prove there is a god, I'm not gonna make one up to fill some perceived gap that isn't there.

this video has a good message. It's important to know the value of fantasy, but some time or another kids are going to find out that there's a real world (most kids anyway). They might as well hear it from TMBG first

Science is REAL awesome!
AAL 2 years ago 2
I don't get it, who said that Science wasn't real? Aside from some biased Theists. Also, who said that all myths are not real? Some things are myths simply because the person who discovered it did not document it, that still happens today mind you. Other issues are myths because the issue is so old and all documentation of the issue has been lost to time. Anyhow, Science is definitely real - wow, to the moron that denies that.

If i was a girl, i would get pregnant as many times as possible, then have abortions after the third month of being pregnant so i would deliver a potato sized 1/3 developed dead fetus, then i would take the fetus, put it in a jar of preservative liquid and put it on a shelf in a secret room in my house, and i would do it until i had so many that the rooms walls were nothing but potato sized aborted fetuses, then i would have a kid and when they're bad i would make them sit in the fetus room.

science and religion can go hand in hand- they run parallel, they aren't opposite, the only disagreements lie in things science can't prove, like inter-species evolution and the spark of life- stop making divisions!
wallboi7 2 years ago
inter-species evolution has been proven, it's just that religious literalists and creationists conveniently ignore this. They are the ones making divisions.
chodaboy51500 2 years ago
i'm sorry i meant inter- order and family evolution- yes species does cross; evolution is how each were formed, but there are too great a number of differences between the order and families of primates and humans- cranial capacity, bone size ratios, it's just not possible-
wallboi7 2 years ago
You fail to realize that 99% of all primate species are extinct, and only a small fraction of those have been discovered. Of those that have been discovered none have falsified the Idea of divergence from common ancestry they have only supported it. Why is that?
chodaboy51500 2 years ago 2
because they Did all come from a common ancestor, just like all dogs wolves and coyotes share one, and every species of bird shares one, and every species of horse shares one- all humans (asians, africans, whites hispanics, eskimos) all share one too, but not an ancestor from another class or family.
wallboi7 2 years ago
You claim that every species of bird shares a common ancestor but there are hundreds of families of birds, which IS a class. How is it possible they are related then by your own argument?
Also, there is only one species of horse and that is a horse of course. You really need to understand this stuff in order to form an opinion on it. There is also only one species of human H. s. sapiens. Ethnicity does not count as species. Nice try.

Also, how do you explain Archaeopteryx and feathered dinosaurs?
Wiki "Evolution of cetaceans" and explain away all the transitional forms between Pakicetus and modern whales. The two are completely different yet we have many transitional forms in between that neatly fit morphologically and chronologically and you could mistake each one for being in the same family of the one before it and the one after it. Yet the result doesn't even have the same number of limbs.

Scientist said the world was flat. Scientists said the Earth was the center of the universe. Scientist said the atom was the smallest particle possible. Science is real for the next 20-30 years until scientist completely redefine their latest discoveries.

Science is constantly progressing. It is a good thing. Otherwise we would still believe that the world is flat and we would be bleeding ourselves to death in an attempt to purge disease. If science wasnt constantly changing it would be detrimentally similar to religion.

Most bigots aren't very smart, and you don't appear to be an exception, so it's probably a waste of my time responding, but I'll try to make it simple for you:
Not everyone on the planet is the same race that you are, not everyone is of the same nationality as you, or part of the same religion or the same culture. You probably know this, but my point (with which, as a bigot, you'll certainly take exception) is that to present negative stereotypes of these people in order to demean them is wrong

GradStud28--"to present negative stereotypes of these people in order to demean them is wrong"
-It isn't necessary to do that because they do the demeaning to themselves and bring it upon themselves, obviously. Otherwise they wouldn't dare try to pull off BS.
I agree not all ppl come from the same group but seeing how the majority isn't helping much to their cause shows they are filled with more flaw than others.
himena15 2 years ago
The scientific method--praised in this song by TMBG--can actually help people overcome this kind of bigotry (be it anti-religious, cultural, ethnic, etc.). For example:
"the majority isn't helping much to their cause" - if by this you mean the majority of Catholic priests or lay people, the most cursory investigation will show you this isn't true. (For a scientific study, you could read sociologist Andrew Greeley's book "Priests" by the University of Chicago Press.)
GradStud28 2 years ago 8
Infamatory statements like "scoutmasters, teachers, and rabbis sodomize little boys" misprepresent these groups, are insulting to the overwhelmingly vast majority of good people who are part of those cultures, and are insulting to *real* victims of sexual abuse.
Misrepresenting data on a particular group in order to castigate them or justify bigotry isn't new, but it is dishonest, unconscionable, and un-scientific.

World is flat: Religion, stone age belief.

Besides, scientists can say anything they want, but it has to pass all attempts to falsify it in order to be accepted.

yes religion is definitely a societal phenomenon. But the things presented by the spiritual belief has less factual basis than science.
RinaIcecream 2 years ago
Actually they have the same level of realness. Both scientific conclusions and spiritual beliefs clearly exist.
wantwit 2 years ago
Yes beliefs do "exist", but not in the same way that evolution does - there have been years of testing and experiments to find the evidence that evolution is in fact a real phenomenom. There have been no tests to see if God exists - because there is no way of knowing if he does, therefore he currently isn't real at all. The only time spiritual beliefs exist is in people's heads.
OWRBtheo 2 years ago
actually yes, beliefs exist in exactly the same way evolution does. The existence of a God is a separate issue. I'm agnostic so you won't get any argument from me that there is no way to prove the existence of God but there is also no way to prove that God does not exist so stating that God does not exist is not the next logical conclusion.
wantwit 2 years ago
Well we have to assume that Bigfoot doesn't exist until it is proven that he does. We can argue that he MIGHT, but that doesn't mean he should be put into science books.
All this song promotes is the idea that facts should be taken above beliefs. It's not anti-religion and neither am I. The idea that Science is more important when understanding our universe than religion is, is just common sense.
