that last horrific quote mine was from Inside Natures Giants. Where they disect a giraffe
Very interesting program and notice how they always talk about evolution. Within the context of that quote. The guy means designed by natural selection
You don't have a clue. WTF, what is an "unguided law of nature?" No one gives a crap about colorful spew with a British accent, we can get that on Sesame Street or Mr. Rogers right here in the states. Why don't you STFU? You try to sound smart but it fails. You're not giving us any data. Why can't you just haul out your pocket genome map and give us tour instead of framing your pretend knowledge with crayon magic. Nothing you've said even comes close to explaining of anything.
@sheepfax Umm... It's called entertainment. He doesn't need to explain anything. This is a satire of a previous video made by some idiot who enjoys misrepresentation. If it's data and information you want, I'd suggest you do some research instead of hoping for someone to make a youtube video and force-feed it to you. This isn't church, bro.
I find it weird that engineers are even susceptible to believing intelligent design. Us engineers should be most qualified to see the flaws in nature's "designs" and be able to improve on them. As an engineer myself I know that good design leads to simplicity, not complexity. If life on Earth was designed it was by a moron of the highest order.
ALTHOUGH I'M A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN (Baptist), I no longer believe that the Bible teaches eternal torment. The Bible teaches eternal punishment, but it's not eternal torment. In my popular Internet article, TRADITIONAL DOCTRINE OF HELL EVOLVED FROM GREEK ROOTS, I explain how and why teaching of eternal torment entered early into Christianity and how Scriptures have been misinterpreted and taken out of context to support that teaching. ~Babu G. Ranganathan (B.A. theology/biology)
SCIENCE SHOWS THAT THE UNIVERSE, because of entropy, couldn't have sustained itself from all eternity. Einstein confirmed that space, matter, and time had a beginning! That beginning had to be supernatural because natural laws have no ability to bring the universe into existence from nothing. The supernatural cannot be proved by science but science points to a supernatural intelligence for the origin and order of the universe ~ HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM (Article)
NATURAL LIMITS TO EVOLUTION: Only evolution within "kinds" is genetically possible (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.), but not evolution across "kinds" (i.e. from worm to human). How were species living and reproducing if their reproductive system and other vital organs hadn't evolved yet? Read my Pravda Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS! I discuss: Punctuated Equilibrium, "Junk DNA," genetics, mutations, natural selection, fossils, genetic/biological similarities between species.
What a fucking moron. Do these people ever listen to what comes out of their mouths? Atheist must believe car, computers, etc. just appear. What a fucking moron.
@TheLivingDinosaur Wow, kudos to you spending so much on spreading science, and thanks for doing that in an interesting witty way. I have to do some boring computer work that does not require a brain today, so I'm listening to the whole holy series simultaneously, and I'm having a total blast.
What happens when creationists absorb all of this at once? This was a lot.. Either he feels so stupid is crying, or 100% of this is flying right through from ear to ear
cars can be produced naturally, assumeing humans evolved, then any and every piece of technology we have is the offshoot of our naturally produced brain. thus the 4 fundamental forces can produce everything he said, just in a different manner to what hes implying.
Indeed the forces of nature must have created cars, computers, space ships and television because god didn't create them. If god did create them he would have surely mentioned them in his book. If god didn't create them and nature didn't create them, then they don't exist. Life created everything it needs to survive and thrive, including a mind capable of building things which do not occur in nature. If god wanted us to fly he would have given us wings, we built planes that we might fly.
@hollywoodt00 so we all live in sin because we fly about in airplanes, allthough god didnt want us to fly because the he would have given us wings! this is brilliant. from now on I´ll pwn every christian by asking him if he ever traveled by plane. :D
What Christians think evolution is, is completely different from what scientists and properly educated people think it is. All scientists and properly educated people will concur that the distorted and false Christian version is bullshit. I mean really...is it THAT difficult to pick up a book and read what evolution is ACTUALLY about??? Stupid lazy idiotic Christians...makes me weep to be living under the rule of you delusional pricks. First chance I get, I'm moving to a secular country!!!
Oh man another awful video from the fundie atheist who probably believes there are millions of universes out there...
I wonder how much of this freethinking life of yours is spent thinking and talking about God?
So here is my question fundie, how many times in one week do you spend thinking about god? Do you think as a freethinker you spend more or less time talking about God then the average Christian?
Its presicely thinking about god and the natural world and examining the evidence for both that makes atheists out of believers. Some atheist (like me) have never really been theists so we tend to not think about gods at all. All in all the amount an atheist thinks about gods is directly correlated with how much jeebustalk he has to endure from the believers. If you want it even more plainly: If there were no believers, nobody would be thinking about gods.
Standard Christian rebuttal: Don't attempt to address any of his points and just jump straight into ad homenims. That's really pathetic, you know that? Why don't you go pray with the rest of your intellectually disabled sheep and stop polluting the internet with your bullshit. Also, no one's forcing you to watch this. I thought I'd just point that out. Or did your imaginary friend tell you to come here?
Great video, I loved it. But... (there's always a but). cars ARE natural. They are natural in the same way that birds nests and Beaver dams are natural.
Only creationist don't know why they get laughed at. FOR SHAME! and matt cannot be an ME. For fuck sakes if he were in my University, I would roll him and have the EE's and ME's give him a swurlly.
@lautz73 I'm sorry, but your "facts" are in reality myths propagated by dishonest atheists.Creation has 1000s of lines of evidence with billions of scientific confirmations.Here are 3 things to to start with:
@TruthIsLife7 I have gone throught the first 32 of the "Scientific Case for Creation science? And all 32 have been explained or they are outright lies and distortions of the scientific evidence that has been presented. There were ad hominium attacks, strawmen and misrepresentations of scientific data. All used to try and create doubt where there is none. For you to believe in any of this when you say that have been studying this for as long as you claim is showing your gulibility to religion.
@lautz73 Since this post I have looked at all 132 proported claims for creation and didn't find a single claim that hasn't been thoughly debunked, were misrepresentations of scientific facts, didn't take into account scientific facts, were misinformation or outright lies. The entire list is a complete fraud perpetrated on the usually undereducated christian that is either unwilling or unable (due to lack of time or resources) to verify the claims these statements make.
@TruthIsLife7 So the man has a doctorate in zoology which I will admit that he had to take biology courses to obtain) but that does not mean that he has sufficet knowledge of all fields needed to even begin to disprove evolution. Just having a Ph D doesn't mean that he is qualified to speak on all aspects of creation. That matter is covered in a video by darkmatter2525 called double standard. I know that you've seen it because I have seen your id there.
Which version of evolution would you like me to define: Lamarckism, pangenesis, transmutationism, recapitulation (Haeckel’s "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny"), orthogenesis,xenogenesis, saltational evolution, modern synthesis, punctuated equilibrium, self-reorganization, creationist natural selection or others? Most of those have been debunked and discredited by ALL. Only ONE has observable evidence, creationist natural selection (although evos try to fudge steal from it for their definition).
@lautz73 I'm sorry, but your "facts" are in reality myths propagated by dishonest atheists.Creation has 1000s of lines of evidence with billions of scientific confirmations.Here are 3 things to to start with:
please stop with the stupidity that I don't understand evolution. Nearly every creationist understands evolution infinitely better than any atheist understands creation science. If my understanding of evolution is wrong, then you can blame Stephen Gould, Richard Dawkins, top atheists and evolutionists on youtube. Unlike most, if I want to know what evolution or creation is, I don't listen to critics (almost none will give you the full story). I go to primary sources. Do you know what that is?
@TruthIsLife7 You haven't been able to explain evolution at even the high school level let alone proof that you understand it well enough to counter it's claims. if you could do as you say and disprove evolution then publish your papers for peer review and get ready to collect your Nobel prize in science. The simple fact that you cannot do that means that you have absolutely no evidence to disprove evolution.
just a heads up. I've been debating atheists for 20 years and I know pretty much all their arguments. Nearly all have been answered, debunked as really atrocious myths decades if not centuries ago. I've watched most of the videos of the most famous atheists on youtube. There is very little you can say criticizing the Bible that I haven't known for decades. The criticisms of atheism are far more devastating...but the important thing is the weight of evidence..&modern atheism doesn't have any.
@TruthIsLife7 Yet you have yet to prove even a single point of the creation myth. You can't even disprove anything that I have said about science and I only have a high school diploma and wasn't very good at science in school. For you to claim victory is premature since a person with an high school diploma can stump you on science and evolution.
@lautz73 I already GAVE you a link with numerous peer reviewed papers on all sorts of creation science. But, before we talk about proofs&evidences for that, you need to understand what it actually is and define it correctly and you like most atheists are ignorant about what it is because dishonest people have lied to you and suppressed the information (not your fault). I've met ONLY ONE atheist in 20 years who could even define creation science in any sort of accurate/complete way. Can you?
@TruthIsLife7 Creation science has no peer reviewed papers tha support it's claims. How do I now this? Because of the lack of evidence for creation would make it impossible for there to be repeatable, testable evidence of it's claims. That is necessary for there to be any solid proof of creation. Your failure to accpet the truth that you have absolutely no proof for creation is astounding.
@TruthIsLife7 Creation science is a misnomer. They are trying to use their brand of science (which isn't actually science) to try and prove creation yet they have absolutely no actual science behind them. It's a ploy to try and give creation some legitamacy (?) get creationism taught in public schools.
@lautz73 No disrespect, but like most atheists, your opinions are based on censored information that has nothing to do with reality or historical or scientific facts. Creation does not at ALL remove natural selection. That's utter fiction. The Bible includes it and creationists published on it LONG before Darwin. Yes, abiogenesis deals with how life started and every version of it so far has either been debunked as pseudoscience or failed to produce even the simplest cells.
@TruthIsLife7 Creation does remove all natural selection as it states that everything was made IN IT'S CURRENT FORM. How does that statement not remove all natural selection? If it was created in it's current form then where is the natural selection?
Please stop trusting dishonest atheist critics (or any critics).Nothing u wrote is new. About morals, very quickly since I need to go to my uni to teach class in a couple minutes:
1) Like govts.,God is in charge of ensuring justice.He often delays in mercy.But, he must do it for the security of the universe.
2) God's RARE severe actions in pretty much every case actually saved life long term,sort of like destroying Hitler before he could murder 10 million.
@lautz73 Creation does remove all natural selection as it states that everything was made IN IT'S CURRENT FORM.
-
This is absolute FICTION.You have been duped by liars.This is NOT a definition or anything remotely connected to what creation science ACTUALLY claims. Nearly every argument of atheists against Christianity is a straw man or logical fallacy like this one.I have studied abiogenesis in depth including going to the websites of top researchers in the field.
@TruthIsLife7 I gladly accpet evidence from all sides. The simple fact is that there is no evidence coming from the creationist side because they have no evidence to back their claims.
Abiogensis is a relatively new field in science and while they haven't yet been able to produce a cell they have produced amino acids in the lab. That's the first step in the chain that produces cells, giving some credibility to abiogensis. Where is any of your proof of creation?
Most pastors work harder than most scientists & similar to stressed out doctors(there are exceptions I know). My dad is a pastor and was called at all hours of the nights and weekends for suicides, medical emergencies, marital counseling, plus countless other social emergencies. Pastors like my dad have rescued and revived 1000s of marriages which is NOT easy. Pastors in my denomination are all paid the same regardless of church size. Most pastors are VASTLY underpaid for what they do.
@TruthIsLife7 Then where does the money go and how are those at the very top of the church live? I bet that if you did check that out you would find outragous living that would rival movie stars. Religion was created for controll and power.
&evidence is not suppressed. The weight of evidence is firmly on the side of creation. See my creation/Genesis Conflict playlist (read notes first on videos that have them)
F) Has ANYONE ever seen an information system originate without intelligence? How about a transportation system? How about a major new organ? The ONLY place that design whether material or biological originates is with intelligence. Science requires us to follow the weight of evidence. Atheism refuses to do that.
@TruthIsLife7 Where does your evidence for creation come from? Because if it doesn't come from reputable scientific journals then it hasn't been subjected to the same standards as the evidence for evolution.
It's obvious that you do not understand what evolution actually does. What your talking about with an intelligence system originating would be in the field of abiogensis not evolution. As for a major ogran, if it were to come about and were helpful (cont)
@lautz73 for humans to better survive then it would eventually make it's way into the entire population, but the process would take thousands of years to do so. The only thing that says things poof into existance is creationists like yourself. If you would study abiogenxix then you would see how life could come about without the aide of any diety. But you won't do that because it would completely ruin your belief system.
i wonder why creationist do not realize that other religions were around for thousands of years before christiane was and they all fell by the wayside as nothing more then fairy tales and they act like their religion was the only one that was ever around and the worst part is as they claim God created all as far as i am aware there was only one pharaoh that believed in one god lol maybe should say that before i start them running to their cameras saying see even Egyptians believe one god lol
Fuck 'style'. Atheists have been using style, reason and logic, since before xianity was a 'gleam in Judaism's eye'. Xians did not come to their belief through logic and will not be dissuaded by logic. That leaves only unmerciless mocking and ridicule of the most 'style-free' nature. So,.... be sure to view 'Smak Dem Christians Down', and 'Hand of The Almighty', by John R. Butler. They have 'style'! : )
We all know dinosaurs, Cars and humans existed at the same time. We all seen the documentary the Flintstones on TV. Cause God(or insert magical being of choice) created everything all at once. Duh creationist Winning
The full context of the video was actually all about evolution, the reason he corrected himself was because creationists would quote him as saying designed.
Does onceforgivennowfree thinks cars are manufactured by supernatural means? Because other way he believe that cars are manufactured by natural ways. Or does he think humans are something out of nature?
You video is great as long as you are doing something else and just listen. I enjoyed it much more when I listened to it and checked my email at the same time. Good job on the verbal section, but the video section was a waste of your time.
I really liked how you had Talk Talk's album, Laughing Stock among the images. It really is one of the best and most underrated albums I've ever had the privilege of hearing.
I do agree with the factual content of your videos, but this is simply a criticism of your style: it seems that all of your videos were produced by writing the content first, and then doing a google search on literally every word, and inserting the (mostly unrelated) images into your video. This makes it very distracting, and its an effort to even distinguish the connection between some of these images and what you're saying. Maybe you could develop the visuals and the script at the same time?
@VersionOnePointZero TYfor your constructive criticism - always appreciated. Your insight into my work flow is correct. I do take what you're saying on board, but the only problem is that you're giving me credit for more talent that I actually have. Occasionally I do have an image in mind when I write, but that is the exception rather than the rule. The other problem is that your approach would take a lot more time that I have. I will take you comment on board, though and thanks again.
@TheLivingDinosaur I like your style alot actually, I haven't seen any other yt user edit his clips like you. Perhaps it's becuase I have ADD, but I think it's funny to see a x-box controller float through the screen at the same time you say control etc, it actually helps me remember it better. Just my 2 cents.
@TheLivingDinosaur I've got to say the exact opposite of previous poster, I get a chuckle out of the different pics flying past especially if I'm a fan of something. Plus the women are right up my alley.
@TheLivingDinosaur I actually like this style of yours very much and couldn´t disagree more with what VersionOnePointZero wrote to you about it.
I love how it sets my brain to work, as it tries to figure out the double-meanings and stuff as you go along.
Please, please continue just the way you are making your videos! It´s very entertaining and kind of mental training... Not distracting at all since you can always pause the video if you missed something.
@TheLivingDinosaur I agree and disagree, Most of your videos, I enjoy the images and animations but this one has a little more than usual in my opinion.
@TheLivingDinosaur, VersionOnePointZero im sure is referring to the Ad hominem combined with the rational argument. whilst i don't like the ad hominem i still watch the videos for the actual argument given. if i had my way it would only be the argument with no personal attacks, but its not, so if VersionOnePointZero doesn't like your style of ad hominem combined with rational argument then he should go elsewhere. all hail the FSM
@TheLivingDinosaur I appreciate the images. When I want to pay attention to your precise words, I pay less attention to the pics. Otherwise, they add color and life to your videos and I appreciate the extra you put in to include them. For anyone incapable of diverting attention between visual and auditory stimuli, if they have trouble following your points, they can just choose to not watch the images :)
At 3:14 he says life has the appearance of design.
At 6:38 he says that he doesn't believe cars evolved because there is no known mechanism for it.
At 3:26 he notes that the evidence does not "prove" evolution. Evolution merely explains the evidence.
At 8:38 he says that the atheist worldview can be refuted if there is evidence to the contrary. (I would submit that Jesus' miracles and resurrection is sufficient evidence to the contrary).
@intolerance100, I only pointed out the fact that he recognizes that life has the appearance of design. I didn't say that he believed that it did. It was not quote mining.
@forest51690 Excpet that there is no evidence outside of the christian holy book that any of those miracles ever happened. Not once in any records that have been found to date (and they have alot of records from that era) have shwon anywhere that any of those miracles have ever occured. Now let's add to the fact that the Mark is the oldest gospel that they have found. Add to it the fact that the oldest copy they have found of it was dated to 60CE, that's about 30 years after the "death" of Jesus
Did nature build cars? Well, people built cars and people evolved naturally, so using the ridiculous nonsensical definition of "nature" as currently bandied about in general society, I would have to say that yes, cars were built naturally. If "nature" has some definition that applies to some things and not others, then maybe the argument would make sense, otherwise the alternative is to say that the car was created supernaturally, which would make even a christian sound stupid.
Well said! Is it my imagination or are all of the so-called arguments against evolution actually arguments against strawmen that were invented by people who either are overtly dishonest about it or didn't understand the concept in the first place? If it's the latter, is it any wonder they need to cling to a god who regards them as consistently unworthy?
Could the video be any less professional? Who in the world tries to make a point like this using sexual references of loosely dressed women? Or is that just your way of attracting views from fellow atheists? Or maybe you do that because they wouldn't watch your videos otherwise!
Yes the video could be less professional. I hope that answers your poorly phrased question.
To answer your other questions simultaneously, maybe he should put some little boys in to attract views from members of the catholic church, but that would be immoral.
@WhiteVV01F Well, looks like you are in the minority.
Even if all 8 of the dislikers agree with you, you are in the minority by a landslide. 0.6%
You're welcome to your opinion. Perhaps it would have more weight if you rationalised it better, like how I rationalised that you phrased your question poorly by taking it as written.
@intolerance100 I know you didn't. Did I say you did? However, we were mentioning the the "truth" of it being professional, or unprofessional. You don't have to type out T.R.U.T.H to be talking about the truth.
@WhiteVV01F Thank you for your comment. It really is a shame, however, that you seem to have been unable to come up of any kind of criticism of the factual content or arguments in this video and instead had to resort to that old Christian favorite, the ad hominem attack. Do feel free to come back if you come up with anything substantial to say, but from the banality presented so far I have to say that I have no interest in the contents of your light-weight mind. Thank you.
@TheLivingDinosaur No, I didn't intend to criticize any of the "factual content" that your video may have had. One of the reasons for that is because I didn't watch it. Let's say I turn on the whether channel and the introduction happens to be made of flying objects of sexual references. Should I expect to get a good weather report from that? No. In fact, I'll conclude it's a joke and turn it off.
But ad hominem? I wasn't linking what I said to the validity of the video, just professionalism.
@WhiteVV01F Then you should have stated that you found the material distasteful and that you would not watch the video for that reason. That would have been a reasonable criticism and a matter of taste. Instead you concluded with: "Or is that just your way of attracting views from fellow atheists? Or maybe you do that because they wouldn't watch your videos otherwise!" Kind of suggests that the intellectual content of the video is worthless without backing up why, eh?
@WhiteVV01F No problem. We all make mistakes. Obviously I realize that my material (including the insulting tone, in particular) is not to everyone's taste, and I fully respect anyone's opinion to dislike any aspect of my approach. Thank you for being so gracious.
Atheists think Christians are stupid for believing we are intelligently designed, and think they are smart for believing they are not designed intelligently at all. Oh, the irony.
SCIENCE IS BASED ON PROOF OF THEORY. SINCE DARWIN YOU AND YOUR GROUP HAVE NOT PROVED YOUR THEORY BY SCIENCE. CAPS ARE ON AS PERHAPS YOU CAN NOT READ THE RESEARCH DUE TO POOR EYESIGHT OR YOU WOULD NOT MAKE SUCH A FOOL OF YOURSELF. THEORY WON'T CUT IT AND U KNOW IT...SO JUMP ON IT TONOT!! GET OFF OF YT AND STUDY AS YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVED MISSED THE FACTS!! BLOCKED U....
@baysideful lol theres no need to get mad and i would be glad to explain why science and logical reasoning says we shouldn't believe in god but hey, you can believe in whatever you want no ones forcing you to listen. (That's why i made my other points, you can believe whatever you want but its unfair if you start making ANY decisions that affect others with those beliefs)
I'M NOT IMPOSING ANYTHING ON ANYONE. I'M SICK OF HEARING HOW DUMB WE ARE FOR BELIEVING IN GOD WHEN U HAVE NO PROOF THAT HE DOSEN'T EXIST. SCIENCE IS BASED ON PROOF..BTY ....LEAVE US ALONE...WE DON'T GO AFTER YOU...
@baysideful No one is saying you're dumb for believing in god. We ARE, however, saying you're dumb for shoving that belief in everyone's face, and for obstructing the progress of humanity with it.
And no atheist has to disprove god's existence. If you claim something exists, the burden of proof is on you.
Of course, a number of very good arguments against the existence of god have been made, and I advise you to research them. I doubt you will, though.
@baysideful I'll ask you kindly for one thing that i think we can both agree on. If your beliefs have ANY impact on lives of anyone else who doesn't share your beliefs, its not fair to them unless you can actually back up your beliefs to show that they're true. You wouldnt want someone else to have beliefs that they couldnt back up affecting your life would you? (like someone elses religion). The world is full of people trying to impose their (unjustified) beliefs on others and its simply unfair
@baysideful That would be great if it was true. In the southern U.S. many children are taught creationism, and in the middle east (and other places) some children are denied actual education and are taught strictly from their religious text. The point is that beliefs inform your actions, a belief ITSELF is harmless, but it inevitably informs actions and u can even see that in U.S. politics, where stem cell research is impeded for religious reasons
There is no proof that fairies don't exist, and nobody really cares whether people ONLY believe in god( or fairies). But theres a HUGE problem when it comes to either, when people try to use their UNJUSTIFIED beliefs to influence government policy and educational curriculum. Try to understand why you would be mad if teachers were teaching children that fairies cause thunderstorms or something ridiculous like that. Followed by government policy around that belief. The same goes with god.
We don't care if you believe in God!!! Get over yourself. We believe in God....that is our right ....to each his own....THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO PROVE GOD DOSEN'T EXITS...! Answer the question: Where is your proof????????????
Science is based on proof. What proof do you have that God dosen't exist?
Natural selection is acceptied by Christian evolutionary scientists; who have no problem doing thier research in spite of thier Christian faith..Have you asked them how they could possibly do this???
You don't have to believe anything.
You and your group should live and let live instead of trying to delete God.
@alienlifeform11 No. I make some of the text graphics myself in Photoshop and sometimes modify images if I need to (and to remove backgrounds). It takes long enough to make these vids by finding pre-existing images let alone making them from scratch! Also if your specifically referring to the cartoons, I get them form a site called iClipart which lets you use them royalty free for a $50 annual subscription.
I can't believe he actually quote mined that piece of the Laryngeal nerve at the ending. I find it ironically though that it is one of the best examples that show god's immensely flawed amateur design - or simply evolution at work. This dude is stupid beyond fucking words.
A book that has perpetuated a 2000 year old game of Chinese whispers, as far from the Horses mouth as one can get without leaving the planet.
Constantly rewritten, constantly reinterpreted and constantly rejected by those with even a hint of skeptical perspicacity.After reading the bible cover to cover, it was as plain to me as the legitimacy of gay rights, or womans suffrage that it was NOT in fact the word of god, but instead the misogynistic diatribe of a deluded Shepard.
TheLivingDinosaur has a lot more patience and ambition than I do- I would have dismissed such a weak attempt to 'disprove' evolution as a waste of time to even respond to, as anyone who could be convinced by such a load of nonsense has to be a hopeless moron destined to become a Darwin Award recipient. Thanks for making an entertaining critique of it, though.
We take the term supernatural to mean "beyond nature" (as is a correct definition). But it also refers to unexplainable by natural law, or unexplainable by *understood* natural law. So if we observe an event, that we don't understand, or can explain, it is "supernatural". Which is important when remembering how the ancients tried to relay what they didn't understand, or have the terms to describe. They used what we still use, which is the metaphor. The foundation for all mythology/religion.
someone replied to a comment i made on another video today telling me that i "believe" in science and that i have "faith" that what our brains can comprehend is the only thing we can know so there could be a supernatural presence that we just can not comprehend. some peoples kids. i wouldn't be surprised if it was the dumbass who made the video that he was just talking about.
@kiddhitta I hate to say this, but they have a point. Do you believe in any reported phenomenon, that you have not observed? (Sub-atomic particles maybe?). Do you believe in any hypothesis, or theories? Which, by definition, are not conclusive? How about this, ever take a scientists word for something? Yes, of course you do, as do most rational people. But these are still, at their core, just beliefs on our part, requiring faith in the people we trust that tell us these things, to be true.
@ravenslaves um actually no. thats called trust and experience. i TRUST doctors because they have vast amounts of knowledge on subjects that i know very little about so i trust their expertise on the subject at hand. and you are using theory in a very loose way and not its scientific definition. a theory in science is the createst possible achievment you can accomplish. you are making it seem like believing in, say, gravity is a belief that some may hold but not others. thats not what faith is
@kiddhitta I know that is seems to be a matter of semantics. But what else do we have? If you look up the definition of belief, you'll find almost exactly what you've just written. As for faith, one of the definitions is "complete trust". And none of this is a bad thing. We all need belief and trust in others knowledge and ability to make up for the knowledge that what we don't have.
By the way, I'm not drawing any religious connections here, just the semantics involved.

ALTHOUGH I'M A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN (Baptist), I no longer believe that the Bible teaches eternal torment. The Bible teaches eternal punishment, but it's not eternal torment. In my popular Internet article, TRADITIONAL DOCTRINE OF HELL EVOLVED FROM GREEK ROOTS, I explain how and why teaching of eternal torment entered early into Christianity and how Scriptures have been misinterpreted and taken out of context to support that teaching. ~Babu G.

SCIENCE SHOWS THAT THE UNIVERSE, because of entropy, couldn't have sustained itself from all eternity. Einstein confirmed that space, matter, and time had a beginning! That beginning had to be supernatural because natural laws have no ability to bring the universe into existence from nothing. The supernatural cannot be proved by science but science points to a supernatural intelligence for the origin and order of the universe ~ HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM (Article)

NATURAL LIMITS TO EVOLUTION: Only evolution within "kinds" is genetically possible (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.), but not evolution across "kinds" (i.e. from worm to human). How were species living and reproducing if their reproductive system and other vital organs hadn't evolved yet? Read my Pravda Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS! I discuss: Punctuated Equilibrium, "Junk DNA," genetics, mutations, natural selection, fossils, genetic/biological similarities between species.

Indeed the forces of nature must have created cars, computers, space ships and television because god didn't create them. If god did create them he would have surely mentioned them in his book. If god didn't create them and nature didn't create them, then they don't exist. Life created everything it needs to survive and thrive, including a mind capable of building things which do not occur in nature. If god wanted us to fly he would have given us wings, we built planes that we might fly.

@Templarforever
Its presicely thinking about god and the natural world and examining the evidence for both that makes atheists out of believers. Some atheist (like me) have never really been theists so we tend to not think about gods at all. All in all the amount an atheist thinks about gods is directly correlated with how much jeebustalk he has to endure from the believers. If you want it even more plainly: If there were no believers, nobody would be thinking about gods.

@TruthIsLife7 You haven't been able to explain evolution at even the high school level let alone proof that you understand it well enough to counter it's claims. if you could do as you say and disprove evolution then publish your papers for peer review and get ready to collect your Nobel prize in science. The simple fact that you cannot do that means that you have absolutely no evidence to disprove evolution.
lautz73 11 months ago
just a heads up. I've been debating atheists for 20 years and I know pretty much all their arguments. Nearly all have been answered, debunked as really atrocious myths decades if not centuries ago. I've watched most of the videos of the most famous atheists on youtube. There is very little you can say criticizing the Bible that I haven't known for decades. The criticisms of atheism are far more devastating...but the important thing is the weight of evidence..&modern atheism doesn't have any.

@TruthIsLife7 Yet you have yet to prove even a single point of the creation myth. You can't even disprove anything that I have said about science and I only have a high school diploma and wasn't very good at science in school. For you to claim victory is premature since a person with an high school diploma can stump you on science and evolution.
lautz73 11 months ago
@lautz73 I already GAVE you a link with numerous peer reviewed papers on all sorts of creation science. But, before we talk about proofs&evidences for that, you need to understand what it actually is and define it correctly and you like most atheists are ignorant about what it is because dishonest people have lied to you and suppressed the information (not your fault). I've met ONLY ONE atheist in 20 years who could even define creation science in any sort of accurate/complete way. Can you?
TruthIsLife7 11 months ago
@TruthIsLife7 Creation science has no peer reviewed papers tha support it's claims. How do I now this? Because of the lack of evidence for creation would make it impossible for there to be repeatable, testable evidence of it's claims. That is necessary for there to be any solid proof of creation. Your failure to accpet the truth that you have absolutely no proof for creation is astounding.

@TruthIsLife7 Creation science is a misnomer. They are trying to use their brand of science (which isn't actually science) to try and prove creation yet they have absolutely no actual science behind them.

@lautz73 No disrespect, but like most atheists, your opinions are based on censored information that has nothing to do with reality or historical or scientific facts. Creation does not at ALL remove natural selection. That's utter fiction. The Bible includes it and creationists published on it LONG before Darwin. Yes, abiogenesis deals with how life started and every version of it so far has either been debunked as pseudoscience or failed to produce even the simplest cells.

Abiogensis is a relatively new field in science and while they haven't yet been able to produce a cell they have produced amino acids in the lab. That's the first step in the chain that produces cells, giving some credibility to abiogensis. Where is any of your proof of creation?

&evidence is not suppressed. The weight of evidence is firmly on the side of creation. See my creation/Genesis Conflict playlist (read notes first on videos that have them)
F) Has ANYONE ever seen an information system originate without intelligence? How about a transportation system? How about a major new organ? The ONLY place that design whether material or biological originates is with intelligence. Science requires us to follow the weight of evidence. Atheism refuses to do that.

@TruthIsLife7 Where does your evidence for creation come from? Because if it doesn't come from reputable scientific journals then it hasn't been subjected to the same standards as the evidence for evolution.
It's obvious that you do not understand what evolution actually does. What your talking about with an intelligence system originating would be in the field of abiogensis not evolution. As for a major ogran, if it were to come about and were helpful (cont)

@lautz73 for humans to better survive then it would eventually make it's way into the entire population, but the process would take thousands of years to do so.

At 6:38 he says that he doesn't believe cars evolved because there is no known mechanism for it.
At 3:26 he notes that the evidence does not "prove" evolution. Evolution merely explains the evidence.
At 8:38 he says that the atheist worldview can be refuted if there is evidence to the contrary. (I would submit that Jesus' miracles and resurrection is sufficient evidence to the contrary).

Did nature build cars? Well, people built cars and people evolved naturally, so using the ridiculous nonsensical definition of "nature" as currently bandied about in general society, I would have to say that yes, cars were built naturally. If "nature" has some definition that applies to some things and not others, then maybe the argument would make sense, otherwise the alternative is to say that the car was created supernaturally, which would make even a christian sound stupid.

It really is a shame, however, that you seem to have been unable to come up of any kind of criticism of the factual content or arguments in this video and instead had to resort to that old Christian favorite, the ad hominem attack. Do feel free to come back if you come up with anything substantial to say, but from the banality presented so far I have to say that I have no interest in the contents of your light-weight mind. Thank you.

@TheLivingDinosaur No, I didn't intend to criticize any of the "factual content" that your video may have had. One of the reasons for that is because I didn't watch it. Let's say I turn on the whether channel and the introduction happens to be made of flying objects of sexual references. Should I expect to get a good weather report from that? No. In fact, I'll conclude it's a joke and turn it off.
But ad hominem? I wasn't linking what I said to the validity of the video, just professionalism.
WhiteVV01F 11 months ago
@WhiteVV01F Then you should have stated that you found the material distasteful and that you would not watch the video for that reason. That would have been a reasonable criticism and a matter of taste. Instead you concluded with: "Or is that just your way of attracting views from fellow atheists? Or maybe you do that because they wouldn't watch your videos otherwise!" Kind of suggests that the intellectual content of the video is worthless without backing up why, eh?

@TheLivingDinosaur You're right, I should have been more precise. Apologies.

@WhiteVV01F No problem. We all make mistakes. Obviously I realize that my material (including the insulting tone, in particular) is not to everyone's taste, and I fully respect anyone's opinion to dislike any aspect of my approach. Thank you for being so gracious.

Atheists think Christians are stupid for believing we are intelligently designed, and think they are smart for believing they are not designed intelligently at all. Oh, the irony.

@baysideful lol theres no need to get mad and i would be glad to explain why science and logical reasoning says we shouldn't believe in god but hey, you can believe in whatever you want no ones forcing you to listen. (That's why i made my other points, you can believe whatever you want but its unfair if you start making ANY decisions that affect others with those beliefs)

I'M NOT IMPOSING ANYTHING ON ANYONE. I'M SICK OF HEARING HOW DUMB WE ARE FOR BELIEVING IN GOD WHEN U HAVE NO PROOF THAT HE DOSEN'T EXIST. SCIENCE IS BASED ON PROOF..BTY ....LEAVE US ALONE...WE DON'T GO AFTER YOU...

@baysideful U HAVE NO PROOF THAT HE DOSEN'T EXIST.
What, we have no proof that an invisible and completely undetectable, magic being doesn't exist. Wow! What are the chances of that?

@baysideful No one is saying you're dumb for believing in god. We ARE, however, saying you're dumb for shoving that belief in everyone's face, and for obstructing the progress of humanity with it.
And no atheist has to disprove god's existence. If you claim something exists, the burden of proof is on you.
Of course, a number of very good arguments against the existence of god have been made, and I advise you to research them. I doubt you will, though.

@baysideful I'll ask you kindly for one thing that i think we can both agree on. If your beliefs have ANY impact on lives of anyone else who doesn't share your beliefs, its not fair to them unless you can actually back up your beliefs to show that they're true. You wouldnt want someone else to have beliefs that they couldnt back up affecting your life would you? (like someone elses religion). The world is full of people trying to impose their (unjustified) beliefs on others and its simply unfair

NO ONE IS TEACHING RELIGION IN PUBLIC SCHOOL.
WHAT SCHOOL ARE YOUR CHILDREN AT??
UNLESS IT IS A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL...THEY DON'T HEAR ABOUT GOD.
baysideful 11 months ago
@baysideful That would be great if it was true. In the southern U.S. many children are taught creationism, and in the middle east (and other places) some children are denied actual education and are taught strictly from their religious text. The point is that beliefs inform your actions, a belief ITSELF is harmless, but it inevitably informs actions and u can even see that in U.S. politics, where stem cell research is impeded for religious reasons

There is no proof that fairies don't exist, and nobody really cares whether people ONLY believe in god( or fairies). But theres a HUGE problem when it comes to either, when people try to use their UNJUSTIFIED beliefs to influence government policy and educational curriculum. Try to understand why you would be mad if teachers were teaching children that fairies cause thunderstorms or something ridiculous like that. Followed by government policy around that belief. The same goes with god.

We don't care if you believe in God!!! Get over yourself. We believe in God....that is our right ....to each his own....THERE IS NO EVIDENCE TO PROVE GOD DOSEN'T EXITS...! Answer the question: Where is your proof????????????
baysideful 11 months ago
Science is based on proof. What proof do you have that God dosen't exist?
Natural selection is acceptied by Christian evolutionary scientists; who have no problem doing thier research in spite of thier Christian faith..Have you asked them how they could possibly do this???
You don't have to believe anything.
You and your group should live and let live instead of trying to delete God.

@alienlifeform11 No. I make some of the text graphics myself in Photoshop and sometimes modify images if I need to (and to remove backgrounds). It takes long enough to make these vids by finding pre-existing images let alone making them from scratch! Also if your specifically referring to the cartoons, I get them form a site called iClipart which lets you use them royalty free for a $50 annual subscription.

I can't believe he actually quote mined that piece of the Laryngeal nerve at the ending. I find it ironically though that it is one of the best examples that show god's immensely flawed amateur design - or simply evolution at work. This dude is stupid beyond fucking words.

A book that has perpetuated a 2000 year old game of Chinese whispers, as far from the Horses mouth as one can get without leaving the planet.
Constantly rewritten, constantly reinterpreted and constantly rejected by those with even a hint of skeptical perspicacity.After reading the bible cover to cover, it was as plain to me as the legitimacy of gay rights, or womans suffrage that it was NOT in fact the word of god, but instead the misogynistic diatribe of a deluded Shepard.

TheLivingDinosaur has a lot more patience and ambition than I do- I would have dismissed such a weak attempt to 'disprove' evolution as a waste of time to even respond to, as anyone who could be convinced by such a load of nonsense has to be a hopeless moron destined to become a Darwin Award recipient. Thanks for making an entertaining critique of it, though.

We take the term supernatural to mean "beyond nature" (as is a correct definition). But it also refers to unexplainable by natural law, or unexplainable by *understood* natural law. So if we observe an event, that we don't understand, or can explain, it is "supernatural". Which is important when remembering how the ancients tried to relay what they didn't understand, or have the terms to describe. They used what we still use, which is the metaphor. The foundation for all mythology/religion.

someone replied to a comment i made on another video today telling me that i "believe" in science and that i have "faith" that what our brains can comprehend is the only thing we can know so there could be a supernatural presence that we just can not comprehend. some peoples kids. i wouldn't be surprised if it was the dumbass who made the video that he was just talking about.
kiddhitta 11 months ago
@kiddhitta I hate to say this, but they have a point. Do you believe in any reported phenomenon, that you have not observed? (Sub-atomic particles maybe?). Do you believe in any hypothesis, or theories? Which, by definition, are not conclusive? How about this, ever take a scientists word for something? Yes, of course you do, as do most rational people. But these are still, at their core, just beliefs on our part, requiring faith in the people we trust that tell us these things, to be true.
ravenslaves 11 months ago
@ravenslaves um actually no. thats called trust and experience. i TRUST doctors because they have vast amounts of knowledge on subjects that i know very little about so i trust their expertise on the subject at hand. and you are using theory in a very loose way and not its scientific definition. a theory in science is the createst possible achievment you can accomplish. you are making it seem like believing in, say, gravity is a belief that some may hold but not others. thats not what faith is
kiddhitta 11 months ago
@kiddhitta I know that is seems to be a matter of semantics. But what else do we have? If you look up the definition of belief, you'll find almost exactly what you've just written. As for faith, one of the definitions is "complete trust". And none of this is a bad thing. We all need belief and trust in others knowledge and ability to make up for the knowledge that what we don't have.
By the way, I'm not drawing any religious connections here, just the semantics involved.
So, no worries.
