Was I the only one who was going "Tectonic plates, too curvy to be flood water..." all the way through it? xD I guess having a geologist brother helps arguing with creationists o.o
Science is evil and ungodly. Stop using what science gave you. Go live in a cave or a cabin in the woods, don't go to hospitals, or take medication. Why give your money to a bunch of god hating atheists anyway? Why does god let these atheists live in luxury while your fat ass is stuck in a trailer park watching the 700 Club? Show these atheists who's boss, go live in a cave. . . . . .Pleeeeease, will you just go live in a cave
Potholer do you think there is any use on this earth for creationists? I for the life of me cannot think of one..I open to anyone else's suggestions..please, otherwise I might follow hitler's life and put them into a gas chamber and turn them in to fertilizer...
I can point at them and tell my children "If you don't do your school work and use your brain, stop, think and ask questions you could end up like that, a victem of cult indoctrination and utter ignorance" .
Per Bible-rejecting JWOOLFDEN . com concerning Colorado Plateau
"Most of the rocks lie horizontally, as they were originally deposited. The Plateau is a single great shallow anticline (upward fold), with no smaller folds, no overturned strata, no major thrust-faults -- in other words, there has been no recent geologic activity that might seriously distort the rock record,,,What You See Is What You Get, "
It always cracks me up that there is only 1 Grand Canyon. Using the Creationist theory there should be several Grand Canyons especially where god pulled the plug and allowed all the water to drain into the lower mantle which is not the current "theory" Creationist are using.
Of course that would cause a super gigantic geyser due to the heat.
Actually, not all rivers form deltas. Where I live there are three major rivers and a few streams that all run directly into the sea. Not one of them ends in a delta. They all have one channel straight into the sea.
From the small amount of understanding I have of deltas.
A delta forms where a river meets a standing body of water. So given time, the sediment will build up in the mouth of the river and move it further to sea. So just because the delta is not visibly obvious doesn't mean one is not forming.
Have you looked at google earth? I took a look at my local harbour and was able to see it from the satellite images and our harbour is frequently dredged.
@ACapillary The three major rivers in my area are all used commercially so they are dredged now, but if you look at the histororical maps, there were no Deltas there before dredging started.
All the other minor rivers are not commercial and are therefore not dredged, but they too have no deltas. This is because all our rivers open into the sea via steep cliff exits. onto a straight coastline. Any delta attempting to form is washed away by the fierce transverse tidal currents.
@tangerinetigerr In this case, Dr. Dort explained how Antarctic water has an abnormal amount of c-14 and admits that the dates would be erroneous. So they identified a limitation of their methodology and do not use it in that case. Isn't that what science SHOULD do? This is like using a stick ruler on a curve. It works great for straight, flat areas. We understand it doesn't work for curves. Does that invalidate using it for straight surfaces? Absolutely not.
@tangerinetigerr Im pretty sure potholer54 would more than welcome your examples as would I. Every time I do see an example like the one you posted, it seems like it was either taken out of context, or misapplied science.
@tangerinetigerr Yes, they found out C-14 dating does not work on seals or other animal who don't get their C-14 from the air. They know that. It works just fine on most things.
I could see how one would be frightened to read and study the bible every day. After all the cruelty, hatred, misogyny, racism and utter lack of morality in its pages are a sickening insult to everything decent in humanity.
Slight error there, it was the people wrote the bible that claimed a God said that. And no I haven't been found wanting for love my whole life. I grew up in a family that cared more about people than myths. Oh and "unconditional" seems an an word in this context since that book about Jesus and his Dad says they intended to eternally punish those who don't follow the conditions they set to get into heaven.
@tangerinetigerr First off, not much evidence for a god writing the bible, but pretty solid proofs of humans doing so. Second in your intent listening did you miss all of the times God to killed people for doing something he didn't like, being an infant in a city he thought was wicked or just for being a neighbor of his favored tribe? If your god actually exists as described, he's a petty spiteful thing
@tangerinetigerr- Earth isn't a machine, it's a planet; a planet mainly composed of rock, metal, and water. We see how islands form, we see how rivers form, we know how weather and natural disasters happen and none of those involve any gears or springs or screws. The only way the Earth is anything like a watch is in the fevered imagination of a creationist.
(cont'd)- Also, making analogies to watches, planes, TVs, etc. doesn't get you anywhere as those are all designed by HUMANS. So if the Earth is like a watch or a car or etc. then, for the analogy to work, it must also have been designed by humans (or humanoids). You can't say "It's exactly like these things" and then say "so they must have an entirely different source". Even if we accept your ludicrous claim that the Earth is designed, you have no evidence of an inhuman, supernatural creator.
@tangerinetigerr sorry man but the only thing i can see is bla bla bla colorado river couldn't have done this or that bla bla bla. the thing is you have to actually present facts before yelling at people for not examining them.
@tangerinetigerr no because you've never head of rock being eroded by water over millions of years. this is a channel of science, not of creationist myth. if your going to walk around and spread your stupidity, then at least TRY to look intelligent while doing it.
6:30 . Grab 2 crayons. Bend one and see that it will break with enough force. Grab another one, put it under hot water for 30-60 seconds and then bend it. After a minute or so, it will have cooled of just like the rocks seen in the video.
Rats - Why do I have to bother with all of this detailed "Material and Methods", "Results and Discussion" bullshit for publishing a paper when one just need a back yard and a shaky cam to prove ones theory?
Sorry to bother you with a rather insignificant question but I couldn't quite understand the expression you used at 7:07 in the video – sounded to me like "Lügermeister" (I reckon you meant to say "Meisterlügner" or "Lügenbaron").
Apart from that, thanks a lot for the effort it took to make all those videos, I really enjoy your witty and well researched style in which you debunk all this creationist, anti- or pseudo-scientific nonsense!
Science is hard and requires critical thought. The ignorant prefer magic, let them have it. We keep all the good things science has wrought and they can have caves, fire and angry gods.
that guy needs to play with a hose on a sandy hill with little grass like I did when I was young. Made mini canyons all over the yard, and pissed dad off when he tripped over one.
~sigh~ I wish my fellow Christians would shut up about science. They sound like idiots.
Thanks for an informative and entertaining video. I belive in God, and that He created the universe and the world. I also have no trouble believeing that he took 13 billion years to do it. I also belive in the flood of Noah, even though I can't explain all the details.
Nonetheless, If it took millions of years to for the Colorado to carve the Grand Canyon, so be it; it's no less beautiful.
@pjotoole77 yay openmindedness, just one small thing, general consencus places the begining of the universe at somewhere between 14-15 billion years ago, most found miidle ground and call it 14.5, but other than that congrats
@deathman1021 noooo that is incorrect. The most up to date consensus places the age of the universe at 13.7 billion years old, at least according to nasa.
I couldn't stop laughing at the " did the flood come, a quiet tropical paradise, and flooded again" ......and the part " all together now.... Why couldn't the grand canyon be formed by the Colorado desert"....... Awesome video
Let's go with Pendleton's argument that there "Is no delta, just a small one". Wouldn't a small delta still constitute a delta? "There is no moon, just a small one".
How stupid, no one said the floodwaters carved the Grand Canyon, the argument is the Canyon was formed and the water followed the canyon as a drainage basin. Canyon first, water second, get it yet? Ridiculous straw man.
wow that kid took the biggest piss ever! physically & with his description of Noah's flood, odd that I thought it was there Gods flood? Plus I wonder if Mini-Me Hovind is following pops theory of how "Glory Holes" are created & his fascination with the "great one eyed purple Headed Cocker-suck"? BTW has Kent Hovind been released from prison yet? lol
How sad to see a young mans intellect so diabolically stunted by pathetic ignorance. They clearly STILL don't teach critical thinking in schools. Nice demonstration of how to start with a conclusion and try fitting evidence to it retrospectively.
"Not so. Their settling order would depend on their density while living, absorption or loss of water, etc. "
But fossils are not found in layers according to any density of the living organisms. They are found in layers by increasing complexity. In a flood, regardless, of density, the torrrent would be so violent that that organisms would be easily mixed rather than by the level of development that we actually in the fossil record. The best clue ihere is the erratic course of the Colorado.
Americans should be ashamed of themselves coming out with stuff like this. The rest of the world is racing off into the future while (way too many) Americans wallow around in ancient, unsubstantiated bullshit! I'm surprised you (Creationists) can show your faces in public. You should be aware that the whole world is laughing at you. You're an anchor to progress!
Oh no! Hovind had a son? That poor brainwashed soul. And now he's following in father's footsteps! Hope Hovind Jr. doesn't commit tax fraud like daddy did!
@June28July Creationists are incapable of learning from mistakes and admitting they're wrong, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Hovind Jr. being convicted of tax fraud as well.
Haha, it's incredible that any people can actually believe a fairy-tale like "The Flood" today! With all the science and research everybody has access to today it's pretty weird! . )
@stiimuli My problem is not trying to prove or disprove the Bible. In reality i find that most athiest need the Bible more than the most devoted christians. The author of this video is trying to use science to make his athiestic points. But its not scientific, its a manipulation. Therefor his overall point is lost. when Noahs fllood happend there was no concept of the globe so really whats this guys point.
The canyon was flooded quickly geology proves the religous man correct.
@BeforeTheNoose I don't think you understand the video or the context of my comment. I can't respond cause you don't make any clear sense. your perception is limited
There used to be huge lakes in the middle of the country. they were damned up by huge ice chunks. the ice melted and broke and the water ran into the pacific. we know this cause of odd geological bolders. This fucking Athiest thinks he knows what hes talking about. with out the bible most athiest sound like there fucking morons. I'll trust someone of a religious mind over a an Athest imbecile anyday of the week. This video is a sciencetific FAIL. The canyon was flooded all the way to pacific.
@nero7926 noone's disputing local flooding after the last ice age. This video deals with claims that Noah's global flood carved the grand canyon when there's no reliable scientific evidence supporting such claims or even that a global flood ever happened..
i had to laugh...at 5:22 he says "no delta, just a small one"
so he says with his lovely coat that there is NO delta..just a small delta? so EVEN if it is a small one (which its not) ..is that not the same thing as saying there IS a delta? gota love the "experts"
@kingsalmonsteak Maybe because creationists have a brain damage stopping them from thinking logical? When you can't understand something as easy as this, you have a malfunctioning brain, which also makes you unfit for society. Creationists should be classified as mentally challenged and should not be allowed to get high paying and important jobs in society.
I have just found what I will call the Potholer Series and think that its combination of wit, sarcasm, good science and excellent common sense is entertaining and educational.
@inspiron80001: I did not call you uneducated, YOU asked how the uplift could have occured and that showed that you obviously lack knowledge about plate tectonics. Thats not being uneducated - I do know many highly educated social scientists who have no clue about p.t. either. I could ask similarly uninformed questions concerning many fields of knowledge. None of us can know everything about everything...
@ PrpofSientific. How do you know hovinds theorie is so rediculous? Have you looked at it? And Hovind uses evolutionary journals and text books when discrediting evolution so it looks like the evolutionists disagree on there own thoerie wich is ok nobody said everyone had to agree with everyone.
Hovind used a first grade astronomy textbook that said something about the nebula-theory (origin of stars) and tried to use that to debunk the big bang (origin of the universe).
@inspiron80001 yeah, hovind does have the $100.000 reward, but it is for proving evolution how he defines it and not how the scientific community defines it. Hovinds idea of evolution is completly different to the actuall theorie and is completly rediculous.
And your not seriously asking how soil gets uplifted? What about doing a little research on your own. You know, this is the internet?! And while doing it, try to find out the difference between evolution and abiogenesis as well.
@inspiron80001 the problem with mr Hovend is that he is a fundamental denier, meaning he couldnt accept evidence even if it was dancing infront of him wearing a pink tutu, along with interdimensional beings and jesus.
@inspiron80001 That would be hard to do since he is currently serving a 10 year sentence for tax-evasion. Also, research what happened when someone has tried to present the evidence to him.
@inspiron80001: Rhymemaiden made some nice vids about the geology of the Grand Canyon if you are interested :). As for uplift: Its hard to explain in 500 characters, and you do need some basic knowledge about plate tectonics to understand any explanation (and concerning the G.C. the scientific controversies oncerning the exact circumstances). So please read a geology book before forming opinions!
@inspiron80001 You do realize that in the planet, the mesa in which the grand canyon sits is not the only thing that is uplifting. The whole Scandinavian peninsula and the Great Lakes area are uplifting (isostatic rebound). A plateau in Texas is also uplifting. The whole Himalayas (and, in turn, the Tibetan plateau) are uplifting.
Just because some creationist have it wrong than does not mean all do. And while you're talking about dumb theires do you know what most evolutionists say about were the first life form can from? Look it up (in a text book, ask a teacher, or a scientist) if they are being thruthful they will tell you that you came from get this soup!
the soup is a mix of (as yet) unknown mixture, the only elements they know to be present (for sure) are the ones that commenly ended up in life as we know it.
As a former geology student (not really my thing I guess ^_^u) I'll just say you cannot IMAGINE how much these nimwits have made me laugh throughout this whole video.
Oh and thou as well Potholer ofc, albeit in a different way ;),
speaking from the other perspective, unless im missing something, that slower movement could occur as the floodwaters receded, or are they saying it is those waters that created the grand canyon if they are saying the latter never miind,
when i think of that, i think of water draining off a plateu top into siome pit, and as the flow gets near th end the pressure is less, and speed decreases.
@elgostineThe only way you are going to creat meanders in a river is to work on it for years, pulsing the water - heavy runoff in the spring, lighter runoff in the fall. the heavy runoff carves the loops; the lighter runoff, carries off the detritus and carves the middle rivers. Over many cycles the mature river meanders, with ox-bow lakes is built up.
I feel bad for that hose in the back yard kid. Looks like a fairly standard result of a childhood spent being brainwashed by religious parents. He clearly thinks he's spewing nuggets of wisdom and has no idea that he just predicted that the entire grand canyon is made of MUD. He thinks that this is a formidable argument.
He's a victim. And he's in for a really bad time if he ever realizes what was done to him.
Probably writers of the bible heard many stories about Nile river floods or Mezopotamia rivers , in the ancient times, people doesnt know anything about the world,their knowledge was limited with persia,greece,anatolia,india and eygpt:)If they are right , scientiest should be found worldwide flood evidence in the ice from antartica or greenland isnt it? if Their god write that book why he doesnt mention about other continents?
@schattenfaust There has been tree leaves found in Antarctica, The Bible not only mentions other continents, but the entire planet, and space, and other planets. You just misread it because you english is so terrible.
@ironman197268 Fair enough, My english is bad as just like you said "you engish is so terrible" ,i learn it only by myself but i also do read my native language bible.
And please give me that evidence people find tree leaves in the antartica which they couldnt find trees or dead people skeletons but few leaves it might be interested,show me your evidence..
And if clerics know the bible right?(planets,space etc etc) why they accuse galileo with heresy?:)
I just about wet myself from laughing when I heard Hovind try to explain his grand canyon "theory".

no mention was made of the deltas outside
of the L.A. and San Diego areas, deposit areas
from probably a post-flood catastrophe.....

River could never have done! or, maybe it

Sorry to bother you with a rather insignificant question but I couldn't quite understand the expression you used at 7:07 in the video – sounded to me like "Lügermeister" (I reckon you meant to say "Meisterlügner" or "Lügenbaron").
Apart from that, thanks a lot for the effort it took to make all those videos, I really enjoy your witty and well researched style in which you debunk all this creationist, anti- or pseudo-scientific nonsense!

"Not so. Their settling order would depend on their density while living, absorption or loss of water, etc. "
But fossils are not found in layers according to any density of the living organisms. They are found in layers by increasing complexity. In a flood, regardless, of density, the torrrent would be so violent that that organisms would be easily mixed rather than by the level of development that we actually in the fossil record. The best clue ihere is the erratic course of the Colorado.

@stiimuli My problem is not trying to prove or disprove the Bible. In reality i find that most athiest need the Bible more than the most devoted christians. The author of this video is trying to use science to make his athiestic points. But its not scientific, its a manipulation. Therefor his overall point is lost. when Noahs fllood happend there was no concept of the globe so really whats this guys point.
The canyon was flooded quickly geology proves the religous man correct.

inspiron80001 1 year ago
@inspiron80001
It's not the book he used.
It's that he mixed up two different theories.
He mixed up the astronomical theory of stella accretion or the Nebula theory as it is also called. And the cosmological theory of the big bang.
He made an absolute hash of it trying to disprove the big bang only achieving the complete and utter destruction of his own scientific credibility.

@inspiron80001 yeah, hovind does have the $100.000 reward, but it is for proving evolution how he defines it and not how the scientific community defines it. Hovinds idea of evolution is completly different to the actuall theorie and is completly rediculous.
And your not seriously asking how soil gets uplifted? What about doing a little research on your own. You know, this is the internet?! And while doing it, try to find out the difference between evolution and abiogenesis as well.

@inspiron80001: Rhymemaiden made some nice vids about the geology of the Grand Canyon if you are interested :). As for uplift: Its hard to explain in 500 characters, and you do need some basic knowledge about plate tectonics to understand any explanation (and concerning the G.C. the scientific controversies oncerning the exact circumstances). So please read a geology book before forming opinions!
Nalae1978 1 year ago
@inspiron80001 You do realize that in the planet, the mesa in which the grand canyon sits is not the only thing that is uplifting. The whole Scandinavian peninsula and the Great Lakes area are uplifting (isostatic rebound). A plateau in Texas is also uplifting. The whole Himalayas (and, in turn, the Tibetan plateau) are uplifting.
danoso0931 1 year ago
Just because some creationist have it wrong than does not mean all do. And while you're talking about dumb theires do you know what most evolutionists say about were the first life form can from?

AdmiralCasey18 1 year ago
speaking from the other perspective, unless im missing something, that slower movement could occur as the floodwaters receded, or are they saying it is those waters that created the grand canyon if they are saying the latter never miind,
when i think of that, i think of water draining off a plateu top into siome pit, and as the flow gets near th end the pressure is less, and speed decreases.
elgostine 1 year ago
@elgostineThe only way you are going to creat meanders in a river is to work on it for years, pulsing the water - heavy runoff in the spring, lighter runoff in the fall. the heavy runoff carves the loops; the lighter runoff, carries off the detritus and carves the middle rivers. Over many cycles the mature river meanders, with ox-bow lakes is built up.
