@EvoGenVideos I think that part of problem is that a lot of theists believe that evolution is incompatible with the existence of God. The truth of the matter is, that, that is only true if you take a literal interpretation of just about any religious text. Unfortunately many people do that.
Evogen, Thanks! Great video! I don't see smoking as relevant to the subject of this video. I will assume you are aware of the issues pertaining to smoking and have made your decision and I won't be arrogant enough to chide you about it or anything else that may impact on health. That would kind of detract from the point of the video I think.
@stromatolite775 Thank you, Stromatolite. It's much appreciated. Apparently, some people can't help but get so hung up on my smoking that they miss the point of the video. : )
The fact the fossil record clearly demonstrates there was over 2 billion years of single cellularity before even a sniff of multicelluraity should demonstrate to the creationist that evolution never has & never will move at a linear rate (for many reasons). The Maths(odds) is at best an overall estimation.
Also, his assertion self defeats the "common design" invention.
Not sure if i agree about asking them not to comment on biology because i can demolish KJV without being a biblical scholar.
good vid evo, but you know that by living you will eventually die and that might be bad for you're health....i realise that continuing to live is a choice you have made, and getting older will fuck up your biology. I'm not buying this bullshit any more than this 'creotion' scientist
I'm not sure if the person you're responding to is religious or a creationist, and I don't really have much knowledge in this field so you can take this with a grain of salt if you'd like but: Good video. ;)
@caseagainstfaith It's not bullshit, it was sarcasm. Don't take this the wrong way, or as hostility, it was my way of saying "I know, and I don't care."
@EvoGenVideos I downloaded(with permission) a YT vid from a young man who had to watch his young mother die from smoking related illness. He documented the short time frame for her demise. I use this vid to show my students why smoking doesn't just affect the smoker. Check it out and it might help.
Put in the search , 'Thanks Tobacco you killed my mother'
It's funny that if atheists take something in the Bible out of context, we get a flood of messages saying that we don't know what we're talking about. However, when it comes to complex scientific theories, creationists are more than happy to bastardize and butcher what they read.
@TETSUno1 People have the choice to harm themselves however they want. I don't smoke, either. It's when they're being scammed is when there's a problem.

Dude, please, PLEASE tell me, that you've watched my video on this guy.
He must be really really unhappy, since two people that you know... Know something about biology ripped this video to shreds.

@caseagainstfaith Well, believe what you want, but my apathy about my own smoking is real. There's no need to be idealistic about it.

Is it really so surprising to christians that the one thing on us that has evolved the most is the one thing that has changed the most genetically?
Our brains have evolved to be quite unique. Why shouldn't we expect the genes for them to be different also?

@itsjustameme To correct you on one thing, not all christians are creationists. Some of them do in fact accept evolution as a naturalistic process.

I know - in Denmark where I live less than 5% are creationists. And roughly 50% say they are christians.
So yes - I overgeneralized.

I watched DIAU101's "Abiogenesis Debunked", and I'm no a biologist, but even I noticed:
1) No evidence for his assertion that the LHB "sterilizing" the earth
2) 3.85 BYA is NOT conclusively life. Conclusive is still about 3.5 BYA
3) De Duve did not write an article, "Did God Create Life" (closest match, "Did God make RNA") --> common DI/Creationist misrepresentation
4) Misrepresentation of "solutions" for each of his problems
5) Massive quote-mine of Robert Sharpiro at the end

@caseagainstfaith Yup. I could even explain the biochemical reaction. But we all die at some point. Might as well go out with a smile. : P
