Didn't he approve this response?

No, he did not approve it, for unknown reasons. I will repost it, and see if it might just was a glitch from his side.

Evolution is such a strange process.

A simple algorithm can create inconceivable complexity. Anti-evolutions can't comprhend this emergent complexity.

But anyone who has studied the Mandelbrot set(fractal mathematics), evolutionary algorithms or chaos theory, understands why/how evolution happens.

Instead of studying the natural environment, anti-evolutionists should study the underlying mathematics of evolution. Not everything can be explained by evolution easily.

I love the graphics of the Mandelbrot set. So complex imagery from so simple numbers. ;)

But I am no mathematician...

nature is a genius, but shes a manipulative cunt.

Absolutely! ;)

hey GA. Are you 100% homosexual or are you a very biased bisexual? I ask for your frustrated female subscribers who probably want a go at you but think they cant get none. O_O ;) furthermore, good video man. Its good there are some atheists who study science primarily on youtube. I study science, but most of my arguments come from a philosophical aspect, since, my atheism cam not so much from a scientific quest but more from a "spiritual" one.

I do not really beleive in homosexuality. It is a religious definition. Sexuality is social, as proven by history and social evolution. The genetics might have some value, but is unempirical at this point within our current paradigm.

The answer is no. I can have sex with all humans, but build emotional bounds easier with males. That is because of social influences in my upbringing. ;)

I guess what Im getting at is physical attraction. Do you feel attraction to females sexually at all or are you more "wired" towards male body attraction? Im glad you are open to talking about this things. You norwegians are marvelous beings.

biobot04 4 years ago

I am more physically attracted to young males in the age of consent group up to approximately 25.

I like them young and feminine, within the law of course. Obviously I am open about these things, why should I not be? ;)

Weren't hominids first with understanding objective reality?

I'm asking out of curiosity.

themaxxxi 4 years ago

That depends what you mean by saying "understanding reality". Every living creature "understands" objective reality, the part they need to "understand" to survive. You are asking of imaginary conception to the degree where we can test subjective vs objective; all primates can do that.

Between "a footprint in the sand" and "just another part of the world".

It's really cool to learn that animals have emotions as well(most notably dogs).

geroldkid 4 years ago

Yes, the behavior of animals are not really different from us. We just have a tendency to think we can control ourselves more...

GnosticAtheist 4 years ago

But this social evolution isn't just a recent human development, we're seeing family care dynamics with creatures as simple and primative as colony insects.

Emotions and a higher power, to me, seem to be mutually exclusive. Still, an excellent thesis supported by solid observations.

Yes, socio-mechanical behavior is seen in all living things; it is just a question of levels. The complex chemical effects in primates are very difficult to map, but in essence not much different from other mammals.

GnosticAtheist 4 years ago

GA, I don't have anything substantive to add to your discussion here--you've illustrated your points fully.

I just wanted to add a "comment." I enjoyed this video very much. ;)

dfarmer1584 4 years ago

hehe, thanks. I will probably have to make another on this later on. Josh has not answered yet though...

GnosticAtheist 4 years ago

Yes please make a Vid about consciencness this is were I just can't make the leap into atheisism.

Pleblian 4 years ago

All right. It is fairly "easy", depending how much space you can handle. We do not have a complete understanding yet, but we have plenty already.

Ahhh the human bean......what a wonderful species.....we be.

good vid =)

kinda basic tho, cant wait to get to the juicy stuff

achampag 4 years ago

Yes, this is a response video to a 15 year old creationist. I will make more for the atheist and scholars as I go along. ;)

My knowledge videos should be up and running soon, even though I promised one a week 2 weeks ago...

GnosticAtheist 4 years ago

Thanks for making the video. I really liked the expression "the soul of the gaps".

trondreitan 4 years ago

me too!

rowsdowersavesus 4 years ago

Thanks, the I have the expression copyrighted. NOT! ;)

Yes, I liked it as well, I think I made it. Should I get an award? Anyways, hope I made sense in this video, it is difficult explaining such a complex field with just 10 minutes available. I might make another to Josh if he responds with more questions.

GnosticAtheist 4 years ago

Good stuff. Really it is interesting to think about these sorts of things.

dragon2wolf 4 years ago

Yes, it is an interesting field of study.

GnosticAtheist 4 years ago

i dont think that love is necessary for procreation so much as to help raise healthy and prepared offspring. i think lust better reflects our carnal desire for procreation.
