While I believe in evolution, it is not a fact, it is a theory. And challenging societally presented "facts" such as this is exactly what critical thinking is... If Galileo and Copernicus hadn't challenged the "fact" that the earth was the centre of the universe, we might still be believing that the sun goes around the earth.
If someone disagrees with you politically (e.g. gay marriage), it does not mean they are not thinking critically...
Critical thinking is questioning everything? but I can only think critically if I accept FACTS like Evolution, climate change and gay marriage? I think you've clearly missed the point of your own video. One CANNOT "think critically" until they begin to seek answers for themselves rather than just take your word for it.
......is this a joke, critical thinking is..... no this is philosophy, for example woman's rights or equal rights.... this isn't right by any definition, this is moral philosophy, critical thinking is retards looking back....
You misspelled "exists" and Evolution is not a fact, it is a theory. If there were no doubts it would become a Law, until then let's not jump the gun there.
I suggest you look up the word 'theory' in a dictionary. Your whole comment shows just how right this woman is. I'm not sure how you managed to get three fallacies and a confirmation of the very point of this video into two short lines of text.
@ancientpho How do you make a natural process a law? Just because hurricanes exist they arn't a law. Evolution is also both a scientific theory and a fact.
Not a theory in the other sense of the word which means speculation, or conjecture. Use words in the sense they were intended by the ones who named it a theory not in the other sense that is more convenient to you. If i say 'i'm pretty strong' you could say 'ok lift this 80kilogram cement block'. A dishonest argument changing a words sense.
@ancientpho Ah i see, since it's such a different type of thing from evolution i didn't relize you were thinking kind of like Newtons laws or similar laws of physics right?
Well that's easy Law is used for things that can be stated simply and is true everywhere you measure it universe wide(or everywhere within a set of exceptions). Like Newtons second law is F = ma : The acceleration a of a body is parallel and directly proportional to the net force F and inversely proportional to the mass.
@ancientpho There are doubts. Just not among majority of biologists. Also people have a tendency to not relize that old scientific discoveries are hardly 'wrong' in the strong sense because recent trivial measurements are often reported too early. Example Newtons law F=ma is proven by einstein to be F=ma/( 1-(v^2/c^2)) Which means that if under close to light speed the answers are different but if not you'll get for instance F=3.0 with newton and F=3.0000000000454 with einstein. Weak sense wrong
@ancientpho One reason why einstein didn't prove it wrong in the strong sense is because F=ma had already been used to calculate thousands of things which if it was COMPLETELY OFF would not have worked. Constructions would have failed etc. Such a frequently applied theory how can it suddenly be wrong? Roundness of earth same thing it can be proven to be abit off but previous observations still existed and cannot be undone.
Fossils following predictable patterns making evolutionary sense also.
@ancientpho If you use the details of how evolution works to predict where to find fossils and what types they are likely to be and how they migrated across the earths surface and time, then you test that prediction by digging for them and finding them within the probabillities you predicted it's sort of hard to argue that we'll suddenly find out it's all wrong in the strong sense. How? What were the reasons predictions worked? No evolution opponents seems to be even aware of these questions.
@ancientpho A trivial find written on fox news or msnbc science section of a bleeding edge genetic flaw research project, that has little impact on the world at large, has only been tested for predictions within that one lab etc is however very possible to be wrong in the strong sense.
@ancientpho Even the finding that einstein might have been wrong and neutrinos can travel faster than light is a weak sense wrong. We know this because even if confirmed neutrinos are a small part of our everyday lives. We haven't had technologies dependent on neutrinos not being able to travel faster than light. We havn't lots of scientific observations that completely contradict it. So many non-neutrino things DO follow einsteins prediction. In other words he was maybe wrong in the WEAK sense.
why is this girl telling us to critically think and then saying that evolution is a fact and that global warming exsist? are they facts? you have to question everything. Including theories and claims from soft lipped curly haired caramel skin goddesses ;)
@SLOPTOBERFEST Evolution: It's a fact as sure in its certainty as the earth is not flat, no new discovery will ever overturn the fact of it. Climate change and global warming is also certainly happening, but I can understand how you might not think so if you listen to the extreme ends of the argument in the popular press. I rest this woman's case.
01:25 - Rhetorical question creating an impression that we are not thinking critically now.
If you change the background music, passionate face and the voice - This video will have nothing.
The point is People have been, are and will be thinking critically in all ages. But, will the society accept these critical thinkers ? That should be the question.
Because as we respect the critical thinkers of the past, we need to have more respect for the present ones an even more for the future ones.
@overusedoxymoron2003 God gave us free will and we used it for selfish gain, even when we knew the consequences. Instead of holding us all accountable he died a brutal death and took the punishment for our actions. The Bible says he did it with joy in His heart. To offer you a life with Him, freely, with no action on your part but to believe He did. That is love beyond words.
This is presente as a solution to our problem when it is actually the cause of the problem. A life being proelled without the the values and love of Jesus Christ is the most destructive force humanity has.
@Lewiski461 Wow people espousing Jesus on a simple critical thinking video? Listen if you were born in India youd have the same beliefs with Krishna, or if you were born in a Viking villge youd have the same belief in Thor. Your argument is invalid. Oh..by the way...read the Bible before saying Jesus loves you. He once condemned a fig tree to death because it had no figs for him to eat.
@overusedoxymoron2003 OMG. YOu wouldn't know any better anyways. Don't diss a religion just because of one person. We have our own beliefs, if you have different ones, stick to those, and stop dissing other religions.
OH HECK NAW!!! Evolution is a THEORY..because 1. It has never been observed, and 2. It contradicts with the second law of thermodynamics!! And according to the Bible. gay marriage should be eradicated.. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11...But people aren't Christians..so..Idk. Just my view point.
What about special needs children? They can think and have a conscious mind..sorta. My sister personally, has special needs. And she makes decisions she is not very aware of. So..This video can be argued.
Easier said than done. Though, it is good to raise awareness of the bold assumptions that people never notice or think twice about in their daily lives.
this video should be shown in every american school.@ 'breastsize' - read a book mate, try 'the Greatest Show on Earth' by Prof Dawkins. There is no doubt whatsoever about the fact of evolution, none whatsoever from any reasonable, rational person who looks at the mountain of evidence that proves it.
@ElCID40000 All Breastsize is saying is that the lady in the is talking about evolution like she knows it is fact. Sure I believe in evolution too, but the statement is just hypocritical by solidly confirming beliefs while asking the viewers to question theirs'.
@stickmasterluke That's not how it reads to me mate. If this video were attempting to demonstrate critical thinking you would be quite right in what you are saying. 'Breastsize' implies that there is no evidence, which is clearly ridiculous.
*** One flaw in the nicely done video. This flaw dicredits the speaker. There Is Not evidence or as you said "facts" to support "evolution". If there are proven unbiased facts for evolution, then please share them. Thank You
I like your video sister. I would have said "we're free to date outside our ethnicity". I know it sounds weird but using the word 'race' perpetuates the idea of different races.
"There are no races, there are only clines."
-Frank Livingstone, anthropologist
There is one human species and an infinite variety of human clines.
Evolution is a fact?? Show me the evidence darling! May I remind you that Darwinism is just a theory that lacks substantive supporting evidence till this moment. When I think critically, I notice that there must be a great engineer who made the systems we live in. Sorry madam, but your critical thinking is still immature.
This is fantastic, exactly what I stand for. This is what the world needs to realize, especially if we are to make this a peaceful world. Personally I view this video to as many people as possible, in most occasions. For this is what I believe in, and this is what else will understand. Continue this great work, Maria, you're doing a brilliant effort.
You are a very strong and powerful young woman. I hope you go far! You have made many valuable and important points in this video. We need to critically think and speak up because this is our world and our future!
Wow Maria that video was really good...how'd you learn to do all your video stuff?! using critical thinking haha jk. i've been checking out your channel today and i love it. PS it's your old roomie steph!
Umm, sorry but Gay marriage CANNOT be compared to people not being allowed to date interracially! See, Being gay, in most cases, is a choice while being black or white is never a choice! See the difference? Why should i have to approve of your CHOSEN behavior??
Also, Evolution is not a fact its STILL just a theory! What caused the big bang cannot be explained....so therefore it is still just a theory. (like,duh!)
An inspiring piece, Maria. You cover a lot of ground, and many important social and scientific points, without the video ever feeling remotely 'cluttered'. 5 stars!
agree with you. That's why critical thinking is so important. Most of us are scared- including myself. We're still really behind and we should be way ahead. People like us need to stay strong and try to make things better for the next generation.
Good video, I just want to add that thinking critically goes both ways...both positions on either side of the argument should be put under the microscope in the interest of putting all the facts on the table.
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! OMG I love this video and I LOVE THIS girl. Awesome video. You seem like a spokeswoman for critical thinking... maybe you should be the spokeswoman for humanity.
first off, Christians or people who reject it do accept evolution. they just don't believe in the extraordinary unproven claims about evolution like evolving from a ape-like creature, animals evolving into completely different animals, and evolution being an unguided process
second, just because the arguments against interracial marriage are similar to gay marriage doesnt mean anything because the arguments for polygamy were also the same. what matters is whether the claims are true or false
@kenballer00 you're right, i'm a christian and i don't believe in macroevolution but i do believe in microevolution.
and gayness is a sin....it says so in the bible, and interracial dating isn't stated to be a sin in the bible. i hate when people compare the two to prove a point..
