Craziest Claim By a Christian (possibly fatal to Aronra I bet!)

[toobsucker]

This arrogant atheist needs to do his research

Gen 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL.

Gen 2:17 But of the TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Gen 3:5 For God doth know......ye shall be as gods, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL

[integralmath]

@toobsucker terribly sorry that my research on dragons isn't up to your exacting standards of scholarly analysis and long reflection thereof.

[Alphqwe]

Hell Yes!! Maybe even a Platinum Crockoduck!

[chicarbiomed]

ROFL! woot! Way to go Adam! So I guess a bat really is a bird! This all makes sense now!

[Keiranforreal]

I don't think he out does Dr. fire breathing dinosaur... I mean yea... some dinosaurs 'breathed fire'... But that was when Earth got hit by a bloody meteor. I'm still lolling at that facepalm montage.

Here's an something for Dr (and I use that title loosely) Math to figure out. Face+Palm² x ∞ = ?

[Faithmaster]

So much disbelief and rage and yet I could only face palm at this professors mental gymnastics.

Theists insist we have free will because god dictates that we have it, while atheists state we have free will because we have no choice: it was wired into us by natural selection. While this is a deliciously ironic predicament, I prefer the atheist viewpoint because the thought an imaginary deity could impose the tyranny of freedom of choice upon us in order to trick us into failing is akin to god playing a cruel practical joke on us by making our feet too big to walk safely.

[FaithLovesMath]

You remind me of listening to "This American Life"

[integralmath]

@FaithLovesMath: presumably, that's not a deal breaker?

[CorporalNym]

Great fun. Beware of snakes in fucking big suits

[integralmath]

@CorporalNym: I have a bird in a big yellow fucking suit to protect me. He's known the world over, and all snakes are afraid of him, while kids want autographs.

[HanumanLoki]

@integralmath I'll help the poor bastard. God was protecting Man from himself in denying him knowledge, to keep man innocent. Our often controlling analytical mind killing the intuition of our true nature. The term felix culpa is often used with this story saying with the "blessed fall" we gained extremes in Bliss and disconnection. Not to mention warranting the best dude ever, Jesus, or to pronounce his name correctly Yeshua! I like the symbolism of the story. The stuff about the dinos is epic.

[TheRationalizer]

The "good and evil" argument is badly flawed. If eating from the tree gave Adam and Eve knowledge of good and evil / right and wrong then at the point it was denied to them they would have had no idea that it was wrong to disobey god and eat it.

[integralmath]

@TheRationalizer: yeah, that's the big problem there. Not with John Lennox starting off commending the question as a good one because a snake originally asked it. =P

[TheRationalizer]

@integralmath

Yes, because snakes are automatically evil, just like slow worms, bastards.

[integralmath]

@TheRationalizer: not to mention good storytellers.

[CorporalNym]

@TheRationalizer A friend of mine used to say " We have nothing to fear but fear itself...and fucking big snakes"

[kram83au]

oh my dog. what a poor excuse for a human being. 

[bobster451]

Whiskey Tango Francis!

[dannypantsgm]

What a tit. If naming animals is a science then all I want to know is where's my fuckin PHD, huh? Cause I was all over that shit when I was a baby. Where's my honorary masters in taxonomy for that time I radically called a cow a moo?

[integralmath]

@dannypantsgm: I've got your honorary master's right here!

[Maxdwolf]

That was priceless.

[JacobShulman]

OH MY GOD. I've actually seen this. But, OH MY FUCKING GOD.

[starspawn77]

Funny vid. Btw, does there really need to be all this drama about intergralmath's video? He was obviously just making a shout-out to his friends, AronRa and DPR. What's the big deal?

[integralmath]

@starspawn77: it's everyone hate on me day today! (and yesterday, and the day before, and tomorrow too). But Tuesday is my day.

[starspawn77]

@integralmath Yeah, what the hell was that all about? It seemed like he was a fan of AronRa and DPR, but was not understanding that you were friends with those guys. The vid made sense to me. Oh well. i hope you straightened him out on Skype. Keep up with the good vids. Enjoy your Tuesday ;-)

[integralmath]

@starspawn77: he just hates me because I'm white and have a big dick. Let all of your friends know about my crappy channel! jk

Yeah, we settled it on skype. I think there was a lag in our typing that was confusing him.

[integralmath]

@MrLordLaws: ok

[integralmath]

@MrLordLaws: seriously, they've been answered. That you fail to see a link between what John Lennox said and the dozens of hours of videos Aronra has done on that very topic doesn't argue for anything. If he looks at it and thinks it's not funny, so be it. But to say there isn't a correlation between his videos and Lennox in this one is to fail understand the reason his channel became popular in the first case.

[integralmath]

@MrLordLaws: further, I do not know why you suppose that in order to dare speak to either of them it must be some Earth shattering research waiting to have great weight on the hearts and minds of them. I am really not understanding where you're coming from at all, unless it's the case that humor about things on which they've previously laughed at, about and lambasted is somehow not a sufficient reason to address them.

[integralmath]

@MrLordLaws: no, seriously. I do not understand in the slightest how you are completely not able to make the connection between Aronra's 20 some odd part series that deals EXPLICITLY with the very thing Lennox brought up. It's not exclusive or unique to Aronra, but how you can fail to see that there is some connection between the topic that made his channel popular and this example of that which is lambasted there makes no sense to me.

[integralmath]

@MrLordLaws: you're right. Damn, you caught me. Comparing my crazy religionist in a video with DPR's crazy religionist in his video is clearly not at all related. And, of course, making a video where some religionist overtly trespasses onto Aronra's area of expertise by way of saying god gave us that area as the beginnings of all science is quite unrelated. Yes, Aron has never before uttered word one about cladistics and god, let alone made hours of video on those two subjects explicitly.

[integralmath]

@MrLordLaws: the dragon guy is from a piece DPRJones did a while back from which I took a bit of footage to out-compete his craziest creationist claim. Particularly, he thinks a fire breathing dragon is the craziest. I'd say that arguing god actually handed mankind science by letting them name animals is a bit crazier since science stands in direct opposition to religions' claims about the state of the universe. Where this doesn't connect for you boggles my mind.

[integralmath]

@MrLordLaws: well, I'm not sure what else to tell you. For that matter, you might as well ask why any video relates to anyone. John Lennox is discussing Aronra's field explicitly, and fucking it up. Aronra has a series of videos explaining this very topic. Lennox is an religionist misrepresenting Aronra's field, and Aronra is an atheist who works hard to curb this kind of nonsense. Why it wouldn't specifically interest him, in your mind, escapes me.

[integralmath]

@MrLordLaws: well, as the video said, DPRJones did a video about a doctor, a medical doctor, the salient part I pasted in. This goes towards Aronra because "taxonomy" is his field. Cladistics to be more precise, but apparently naming the animals invented science and is what we call taxonomy. Biology hasn't made in progress from a process of listing names in thousands of years!
