PseudoSci: Creationism and Skepticism

[Mogley52]

WHAT ABOUT THE STARS? Gravity explains how the order found in the precise courses of trillions of stars is maintained, but gravity can't explain the origin of that order! Did all the trillions stars agree to get out of each others way? C'mon! Disorder in the universe is because of chance, but the order is because of design. Read my popular Internet article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM.

[Mogley52]

WHAT IS SCIENCE? Science simply is knowledge based on observation. No one observed the universe coming by chance or by design, by creation or by macro-evolution. These are positions of faith. The issue is which faith the scientific evidence best supports. Natural laws can explain how an airplane or living cell works, but it's irrational to believe that undirected natural laws can bring about an airplane or a living cell.

[MyFishyWishy]

Wow you tube is so easy a caveman can do it!!!

Go back to your job at Gieco!!

[Bulby93]

gotta give it to the guy 17th attempt, poor dude lmao :P

[borrofburi]

Evilution

[borrofburi]

Evilution is just a theory HURR DURR!

[borrofburi]

Was testing something...

[FluffyFeralMarmot]

i think you are jesus and you are testing our faith

[apericubes]

17th attempt, man you waste your entire life making these, and you will die one day and nothing will happen, get outta ur basement dude the world is a big place

[SolidSnakeRules]

I suppose when you die people around the world are going to riot?

[deanjdk]

@apericubes yea... and you should get off your computer and start living your own advice :-)

I enjoy these vids and so do many others

[LilDrummerBoy74]

@apericubes "An unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates. What he is doing is precisely this; examining and rationalizing the world around him through critical thinking and logic. This is a fundamental part of the advancement of a society and one of the driving forces that brought us to where we are now.

[Mequellios]

Tooltime, can I ask you a question? Did you really expect anything else from creationists?

[threewiseman1]

Personally I have no problem with anyone being skeptical of anything.

But when it comes to creationists, it is exactly as you say, tooltime. Their arguments have been addressed untold times yet they refuse to find, and listen to, the answers, which is the opposite of a skeptic.

And then they refuse to hold their own beliefs under a microscope, again, the opposite of a skeptical approach.

[HemsefromdesreveR]

is it just me... or do all atheists have long hair? :P

thunderf00t, tooltime9901, amazing atheist and offcourse me :P

it must be the noodly appentage of the flying spaghetti monster, that gives atheists the will to grow long hair :P

jk :P

[odenskrigare]

My hair is just above shoulder-length

[saruan]

Not me, but maybe I'm different because I'm a conspiracy theorist... who knows?

[ProjectEnquirer]

Break it up in soundbites. Then people might actually start to listen...

[ProjectEnquirer]

Perhaps, people could make a 'SIMPLE' video, demonstrating evolution and the evidence.

[technosnob303]

a tip for an easy life? embrace the editing software

[320iguy]

wow man get some ritilan, something....

[taids]

Alpha Omega ministries? Sounds like the same place that DrOakley1689 fellow on here is from. He talks a load of cod shit too. :-)

[RadarKat73080]

BestofScience aired a video that proves evolution! Primates, including humans, cannot make their own Vitamin C.

[themanwhoknew]

This is from their website regarding evolution.

"Though often called a theory, in reality, evolution is usually presented as fact"

They've had over a century to learn and understand the definition of a scientific theory however they're STILL completely clueless.

Yet these people want to be taken seriously? We'll take them seriously when they actually learn about science instead of spouting stupidity.

[BlueNote4003]

Dude did you check you "A Biblical Model of Earth History"? what a fucking joke! "In conclusion to this section, the Bible gives a model of earth history that is testable. In our opinion, it fits the actual observations of science better than the evolution model."

Watch out evolution!

[blasphemite]

the dude's name is Nutting?

[NonStampCollector]

Nice work. Any chance that you could take a video camera along when you confront these guys? It would be great to see.

Cheers

[kevinanity]

Consistency is not a hobgoblin of fundamentalist minds. And remember floody fingerprints are a fliohazard, so be careful around them.

[TheBoogeyman000]

why the fuck is everyone talking like there from the victorian age of europe "Ohh! even with rambling you sir make your point valid and clear!" I support grammar but thats alittle over the top, dont you think?

[underpantssquirrel]

Indubitably!.... D'oh

[TheBoogeyman000]

ha XD

[Paulwhoisvegan]

What's wrong with his brain! Ha And what is behind that tarp!

[TheBoogeyman000]

What the fuck are you talking about?!

[zebruh]

good points, tooltime

[Pink7777Returns]

Mhmm I enjoy the rambling too.

[TAXEXEMPTION]

even when rambling sir, your points are noted, and valid.

[DeimosSaturn]

I have the same problem. It's hard to start a video and it's doubly hard to end a video. Unscripted and uncut is an art form that very few can master. I try to just jump in to the topic without any announcements, adendums, preambles, introductions, or set ups. Just start talking about the subject.

[RadarKat73080]

Sokay.

[EvilFluff85]

rambling shmambling- you rock either way!

[RadarKat73080]

Okay, you have taken a joke I made waaay too serious.

[RadarKat73080]

That would infer that it is intelligent or the result of an intelligent agency. Hmm?

[RadarKat73080]

TJ made a recent video in which he encountered an idiot. Speaks for itself.

[TheBlackwaterDemon]

Thanks for making 17(+?) attempts at getting this video completed; the end-product was quite clear, and this was a very solid counterpoint to the pseudo-skeptical (and downright irritatingly condescending!) approach that creationists seem to be taking more often these days. The point about the legal system was perfect too (i.e. the notion of "precedent", being foundational in law) - I hadn't considered that before, but it's a very tangible refutation to that "historical science" bullshit.

[TheInsaneBastard]

What I find funny is how anyone who believes in a thousands-year-old deity can call himself a "skeptic."

[TheBlackwaterDemon]

True, the "creationist skeptic" is definitely a walking contradiction, haha.

[HonestDiscussioner]

I think what you consider "rambling" is what most people consider "cohesive speech". You're too hard on yourself man.

[RadarKat73080]

Serious, I would eliminate laws that would, how shall I put this, impede evolutionary progress. Helmet/seat belt laws for example. I toyed with testing people before allowing them to breed, but that runs into all kinds of problems.

[RadarKat73080]

Interesting idea. I have worked hard to purge myself of prejudice, but I can't seem to stop myself from being frustrated by imbeciles.

[RadarKat73080]

I'm aware that my ideas are impractical. Maybe we should put all "stupid" people in a room with just one, unlocked, door. Those that get out are fine and those who can't even find to one door can't get out anyway.lol

[notbill9465]

I want to punch you in the face for Jesus!

[RadarKat73080]

I simply said that crooks around here are stupid, all the crimes I related are allegedly true, I heard two from a retired cop who investigated them and one from a convience store clerk. Depends, I think all stupid people should be locked up regardless if they have committed a crime!

[RadarKat73080]

Crooks around here are stupid anyway. One left his ball cap at the scene where he murdered a guy. Another tried to rob a store with a shotgun, got impatient, put the gun on the counter and started putting money in the bag himself. The clerk took his gun. A young thief tried to steal beer, the clerk told him he was too young, so the thief showed him his ID! Cops were waiting for him when he got home!

[RadarKat73080]

Let the thief get blown up! Why yes, mine is an American car, why do you ask?

[UnhappyTestTubeBaby]

Outstanding work ToolTime. I would have loved to see some video documentation.

Sometimes I wish you could lend your diciplined approach to others - ie. InMendam/DoNotGod. I appreciate your efforts.

[RadarKat73080]

I don't know. If someone stole, they'd be doing me a favor!

[farmingisforme]

you pronounced aronra wrong.

[KingHeathen]

How DARE YOU forget my name!?

SAY MY NAME, BITCH! SAY IT!

; )

[Timmay123456789]

lol

[nekftw]

christiods have a biiig biig problem with their arguments and bigotrys, they ALL cut both ways, ALWAYS, wich is hilarious.

prayer in school? bibles in school? yep, but as soon as you point out that this means  QURAN and Muslimic prayer in school, it suddenly goes* * Oh NO, nonono, noo ,no ,noo , because..well noo*

[philhellenes]

When you tell someone who genuinely sucks that they suck, it is no surprise when reply, "No, YOU suck". It's a sucky response.

Creationists know instinctively our arguments kill theirs to death (and beyond), so they copy our arguments at the "No, you suck" level, without realising that simply opens a lower level of suckage into which they have just descended.

[crazycrazycaleb]

In my bouts with creationists I always show them that they go against nearly every from of science, and not just evolutionary biology.

[kukulza]

funny how the process used for criminal justice they agree with...

then they disagree with that SAME process when applied to science.

[WKaliberr]

you're rambling is like TJ's but less entertaining

[ubergossen]

nice good job actually going to one of these things and talking to these people. I doubt I could sit through one of those lectures and I probably wouldn't want to ask the tough questions either.

[ghostofdayinperson]

Most people make me feel like purchasing a deluxe face-rearranging baseball bat.

[RadarKat73080]

Y'know, it sucks they don't make wooden baseball bats anymore. A skull crack just doesn't sound the same on aluminum!

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

". . .it sucks they don't make wooden baseball bats anymore."

Protip: Axe handles.

[RadarKat73080]

You ever play stick ball my son? Not the same.lol

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

Yes my child, I have played stick ball, but not with an axe handle. Those were reserved for Sharks.

[THEoldy]

Ramble on! Its interesting.

[SCRulerShinoda]

I notice the ads on your vid. lol you should look at them dude, and debunk them.

[kukulza]

yea. i've always wanted Tf00t to do a debunk of that "six proofs of God's existence" ad since i like his style best... but any of the big names of youtube could do it and i'd be happy.

not because i can't answer (debunk) the 6 proofs myself... i just can't do it with such elegance as these guys can.

[SCRulerShinoda]

yeah same here. I could but as the usual creationist argument goes, I dont have the knowledge to do so. I'm too lazy to do any semblance of research other than what one creationist challenged me to. I answered that challenge but he has not answered me.

[raistlin072]

Floody Bingerprints are NOT admissible in a court of law as evidence!!

Take for instance Wagner VS The State of Main 2002: It was WELL established!!

No more Floody Bingerprints, Mister Man!!!

[Evulmeh]

lol

[siekertr21]

So would you be completely opposed to allowing schools to teach the possibility for God? I mean, If evolution is as true as you say it is, shouldn't have any problem holding up against creationism.

[samOFblorx]

There's just one problem with your theory here. Evolution may well stand up against creationism when evaluated by adults and experts (i.e. those with the tools to think logically), but presenting it to children and young kids and expecting them to see it with the same level of reasoning is, frankly, absurd.

[texaschiick09]

Biblical Creationism isn't science, it's mythology, so if you're going to teach it, teach it in its proper subject. We don't give any other form of creationism attention, so why focus so much on one story that's complete rubbish? When you think about it, evolution and creationism deal with two different things. Evolution is how life evolved on earth and why it is the way it is today. Creationism is the belief that a deity created everything, not just life on earth.

[RadarKat73080]

It doesn't. Any contention is dreamed up by theists. May I ask; which god should be taught? I already mentioned the Norse creation story, are we gonna give ALL faiths equal time? The kids'll love that, theyll be in school until they're 40!

[siekertr21]

The Hebrew God is the only God that takes into account the creation of time, matter and space.

[RadarKat73080]

How do you figure? Other gods didn't create those things in the various creation stories? Where do you get the idea that Yahweh created time, matter and space?

[Fangtorn]

Thats considerate of her.

[DudeSpectre]

oh my godless!

every creation story deals with a deity creating the universe. the hebrew god isn't special. they are CREATION stories, siekertr21

So like RadarKat73080 said. Do we give every creation story equal time?

[Paulwhoisvegan]

What is behind that Tarp! What?

[TheBlackSheep2134]

ok lets go ahead and throw in astrology with astronomy.

[RadarKat73080]

Intelligent falling, the stork theory.

[truevoiceofsanity]

sounds like a fun lecture series.

[TheAwedCouple]

I love how the ID debate, by its very nature, sends many of its proponents running into the arms of post modernism. Bankruptcy for bankruptcy, anyone?

-"Mo"

[benjippoi]

retrojection?  retrospect?

[ChaosIncarnate7]

I've met these sort of creationists before... it's kinda pointless to even try to reason with them. Some people just seem to have some kind of genetic aversion to logic and facts and all that cool stuff.

[ReverendAtomSmasher]

nonfail. :-)

[RadarKat73080]

I always wanted to ask if IDs taught aliens or the Norse Odin creationism?

[SCRulerShinoda]

I'd support alien creationism, but Norse creationism? Hell, I got nothing against Odin and Freyr etc but you still gotta draw the line somewhere

[RadarKat73080]

Who created the aliens? Super aliens? What? You don't wanna drink the blood of your enemy outta his own skull in Valhalla?

[SCRulerShinoda]

lol now now Radar

and I do, I just dont like Yggdrasil very much

[RadarKat73080]

Bah! By Ymir's frosty beard!

[saxmanchiro]

Theists do not want their children exposed to the contradictory evidence in case it starts them thinking that faith in sky daddy and their holy book of fairytales could be a crock. They are seriously worried about their youth 'thinking' and being damned for it. Sad shit for sure. As a bio teacher, I am confonted on a daily basis by indoctrinated Baptist youth who cannot keep their little biblical mouths from outbursts about their fairy god being responsible for their existence. Child abuse.

[QuadError]

You have my respect for possessing both the patience and attention span necessary to sit through those farces. Well done that man!

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

I like your style... keep up the good work :P

[NegativeNick]

you've actually gone to these lectures?

[MoreSciFiThanScience]

After I watch tooltime videos; I like to strip down naked, crack open a beer, and watch weekend at bernies on fast forward

[fatkat444]

I base my next kill upon the release of tooltimes videos. We all have our rituals

[fffjjjnnn]

win

[ThePunkReturns]

Every time I have one of these discussions, the notion that all interpretations are equal comes up. Simply put, it is bullshit. Imagine your car is stolen, and you have video tape footage of the man who stole it driving away. You recover your car and the police prosecute the man. At the trial, the man argues against their interpretation, and then offers that the person seen on the video was a doppelganger. Would anyone think that as valid as the prosecution's case?

[Sav3TheWorld]

maybe in a Texas court

[Kortosis]

exatly!, without mention that if every intrepretation is equal then he could say that he didmt stole a car, that according to his point of view that things is a candy and you cant put a man in jail for take away your candy...in fact he could go even further and say that from his point of view that car is his so he didnt commit any crime at all... reality is not a democracy things are real or not, something happened or didnt happen.

[siekertr21]

But shouldn't both be looked at and given equal scrutiny?

[RadarKat73080]

Not if one is full of shit!

[NegativeNick]

17? HAHAHAH, fagget! jk

[ReligionThink]

Excellent. Use atheistic mainstream terms to get their foot in the door, in a cool way... Great points.

[Anon11674]

I've seen this a lot. Every time an antireligious argument or term pops up that works well, the religious steal it, twist it, and try to use it against the antireligious. Never seems to work quite as well for the religious, though.

One of the more blatant examples is when the religious started claiming atheists were all indoctrinated.

[Deathinmusic]

Great video.

I couldn't agree more about the smug smarminess of Kent Hovind. He always comes across as such a prick. I guess it's what happens when you're openly an idiot and arrogant about it too.

[chessdawgz]

Good video man, but watch out for those floody pinger pants :D

[MyPisceanNature]

A lecture on the evidence for intelligent design and creationism should consist of, a person walking up to the podium, perhaps clearing their throat, and saying "Welcome to are presentation on the evidence for intelligent design and creationism. There is none. Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your time this evening, and drive safe on your trip home."

[Anon11674]

Hey, some Poes should do that.

Even better: set up an 'Intelligent Design' lecture, and when the religious crowd is ready for a Hovind-like spiel, shout "God did it, evolution's a lie, evolutionists are going to hell!", and watch the hilarity ensue. :D

[KriimIanga]

It's perfectly fine; I find your ramblings quite interesting, actually.

[svaught32]

"Finger Plints" :P

[ProjectEnquirer]

Creationism stems from ignorance. Instead of ridiculing creationists, does anyone even bother to explain Evolution?

[KriimIanga]

Yes. Charles Darwin did. Gregor Mendel added to it. Plenty of YouTubers have taken up the job and posted detailed explanations of evolution, among them such YouTubers as AronRa, Thunderf00t, and DonExodus2. Explanations are offered CONSTANTLY. Nobody is trying to keep evolution a secret from anyone. The problem is that nobody seems to be LISTENING, and when we redirect people to proper explanations, they don't seem to actually GO THERE.

[Bigbossjin]

Some people STILL don't understand it despite that. Just look at what this dumbass user said

TheMorbidAtheist:

"we arent part of evolution anymore, we invented condoms...for the last time, condoms eliminated the survival of the fittest game you dumbfuck. the game is different now, we dont live in nature where we have to compete with other animals for food and we can actually CONTROL our reproduction now"

Fuck sakes who taught this guy evolution?

[KriimIanga]

Someone obviously didn't teach him very well.

Natural selection essentially boils down to "What makes me a good Demoman? If I were a BAD Demoman, I wouldn't be sittin' here discussin' it with ya, now would I?!" Condoms didn't eliminate natural selection by any means; they just added a few new rules.

[symelian]

great analogy - really made me laugh :D

[ProfMTH]

Nutting? Really ... that's their name? LOL!

[Mephistophilus]

I didn't remember him mentioning Hannity but I'm tired and the topic was creationism, intelligent design, religion, skepticism, semantic arguments about skepticism, being disingenuous and a shit website. You were already certain about your position.

[Mephistophilus]

Why would you do that or even want to be that and when did he say anything about Hannity?

[Chuloloc]

Interesting.

[katiefershadybaby]

very well put 5 stars. your are very smart. And no worries I do at least 5 takes of all my videos every time.. and they still dont come out how I want.

[Mephistophilus]

Web site.Fail. Flash from 19996. Fail. Music. Fail. Click > creation vacation.

Genisis....Best spelling fail ever.

"Finally! A program I can understand that teaches kids about creation and the problems with evolution!"

How to fail for only $125.

[Daclunator]

I watched the video you were talking about before I watched this one, I was kinda thinking the same thing...

[TheScrewOnHead]

I think this goes to show how hard it is to view ourselves as irrational. I don't think anyone would reject the title of "skeptic" or "critical thinker". That's a problem with skeptical world view, everyone thinks they have it.

[jaxlpose]

dude make it whilst eating peanut butter

[BornInAsphodelMeadow]

"half-measured"

Generous of you.

[antybu86]

Holy shit! I just saw the Nuttings a week or two ago give a lecture on dinosaurs. Fucking crazy assholes. I asked if the guy believed in the Loch Ness Monster and he was going on and on about it.

[superextremelaser]

note to anyone who clicks on the link in the sidebar- I hope you like super annoying music

[abaddon5]

Why do people hate on the ones who say "First!", or "Second!" etc. IT'S A JOKE! A lame one, yes, but a JOKE!

[Gooshnads]

uhh

a joke means that they dont mean it...

when they say that.. they mean it ...

it's not about the joke

it's about wasting space

[abaddon5]

Oh, come on! Wasting space?! It's just a lame old joke! Are you really concerned with how much space a comment has on a youtube video?

[Gooshnads]

the word "joke" obviously has a very loose meaning to you doesn't it?

[abaddon5]

yes, it does. A "joke" is meant to be funny, whether that be to me or you. Honestly, do you have a sense of humour?

Type O Negative have a song which says: "for the crime of burning me, I give to thee jackhammerape". It's a joke. Jokes don't always have to have an immediate reaction. Jokes are just fun.

[zgbrotherhood]

lol get down voted for being first.
