Of Evolution, The Big Bang, And Star Trek (Part 1)

[socratus1]

Does evolution begin on big bang level? According to Theory of Probability (look wiki pedia - the infinite monkey theorem ) it was impossible to create Intellect Existence by the chance during as short time as 14 billions years after big bang So, there are two opportunities 1 If big bang is true theory then must be an intellectual beginning inside it 2 If big bang is not true then according to Probability Universe has chance not zero but nearly zero to creat Intellect Existence

[15freeSpins]

what about the earth?who put it there?ones sane mind can only understand that there is a creator and his name is Allah, even christians say Allah in arabic.and heres a little something for the idiot,ignorant worthless people that say we originated from monkeys,did you forget that again in the qurran and the bible it says adam was the first human,not the animals you fucken gronks..get over it.skulls like yours can only be broken with proof like this,if not,then your blinded to the truth.losers.

[15freeSpins]

listen up you ignorant fool,and to people alike. 1st of all its stated in the holy qurran and in the bible that god CREATED adam and eve,anyway now to leave you dumb founded and your buddies too.1.something cant come from nothing(its only logic).2.if you walked into your room and seen a lit ciggarette,what would you think to yourself?again logic,of course that someone put it there,3.a building cant just appear by itself it needs a builder,4.a car needs a manufacturer they dont just appear and 5.

[Rockstafeller]

ROFL!!! Why the hell people think that inflationary multiverse is an alternative to God??? for inflation to even occur in eternal zero-energy field, there must have been some tiny bit surplus of energy to get the whole thing started. this right here, is the ultimate proof for Universal Mind. that eternal energy field must have been in equilibrium, so something must have started work through energy field, but which wasnt energy field itself

[drusio210071]

evoluton Has never been proven. why are you trying so hard to make people not belive in God? why not just let them belive in what they want they arent hurting anyone.if it makes there life easy knowing that there is something better then life then why stop them?why do you want them to think that they are worthless and that all they are are germs and that life means nothing.

[sihsobhk]

On the contrary, evidence in fossil record has proven beyond any doubt among scientists. Intelligent design has nothing other than an old book which could be fiction. And you mentioned God, which one? Yaweah, Allah, Shiva, Ra, Zeus, Odin, etc? Just because you grow up in, I presume, Christianity, that doesn't make your religion more true than any other religions. Do you know any Muslims, Hindis, Buddhists, Jewishs, etc who have faith as strong, if not stronger, as you?

[CommentsKing]

n.e.r.d.s.

[spoddie]

I stopped watching at 6 seconds. Do you really need to be told that having a drink before the end of the first second of your video is bad form?

[webslinger123]

Dude, great points and all, but the backround music is distracting and annoying.

[intubatto]

Good video!

* * * * * :)

[Wsupermain2]

Star Trek 5 sucked.

[RationalRoundtable]

So... what does this have to do with Star Trek?

[Angelrulesss]

EVERYTHING!!

[RationalRoundtable]

please explain...

[pkhernandez89]

lol I really like the last part of that video describing time, I was roman catholic in grade school and I really got fed up with all that god talk, if he/she did exist and everything happened for a "reason" then I couldn't care anymore than I do know because it won't matter what I do. that and I get a lot more out of people who take the time to question his existence than those who choose to believe it for lesser reasons

[MikaShelley99]

God has smitten this man for his disbelief by marking him with the sign of the flashing arrow.

[cptacantha99]

omg il it are u treaky plzz email me coz i am

i have quantum mechanics degree i came top in my class ur point of the eveloution but if u want to belive in dumb subjecs its true i was taught to belive in christianity but i have no religion i know where u comibg from post more videos . im still working on how a species can die out if we dont know its there becouse theres no prof so yer im on your side so mate this is so great your so right.

[Skumbanan]

Logic is strong in this one.

But... The U.S. is not a 1st World country - it is by definition one of the 2nd World countries(The New World). Right?

[bullseye527]

i believe in science but i do believe as well it has limitation or a finite that cannot go beyond the wonder of these universe coz it only rely or depend on human knowledge,just a simple analysis in a very sensible and logical way,,make a straight line away perpindicular to the earth and that straight line will go simply as infinity or no end,,,for you to believe that infinity or eternity is reality and not just an imaginary and (the existence of God who comes from no beginning and no end...

[divvy1400yam600]

I haven't watched much of your video but you mention straw men so I will point out one for you...

Criticising what creationists believe does not make Natural Selection true.

Am I wrong ?

[AtheistAaron]

No, but that is kind of the point. I have never heard a Creationist actually provide any positive evidence for any kind of supernatural event. All they do is try to find "holes" in evolutionary theory. If you are looking for an education, I suggest a school or library, this is a debunking video, not a lecture.

[jewpiles]

Whichever the source was, the only thign that EVER claims thius this is 5000 years old is a book. A bad book. A book that's been messed with and influanced by it's writers for centuries.

Christians. are. fucking. stupid.

Just liek the natives in NA that ignore the FACT that ancient peple emigrated from asia and crossed to current-day alaska, and tell their kids that they came from soem magical thing in teh sky.

sigh.

[IcyNami]

I started noticing recently that atheist videos (especially the ones on science) are consistently being rated down from their usual 4.5 stars, to 4 stars.

I heard rumors from other atheists that creationists, and members relating to that party, are making multiple accounts to rate down videos that contradict the literal christian world view.

What do you think?

[AtheistAaron]

It's quite possible. I'm beyond the point of caring about ratings, really. After a time, I came to realize that I am not exactly going to become a YouTube partner with an account like this, so popularity and ratings mean little to nothing to me. It's knowing that cool people like you are enjoying my videos that keeps me making them! ^_^

[IcyNami]

Thank you, and what exactly is a youtube partner? I'm so out of touch :[

[IcyNami]

What song is this?

[WorldOfHurt101]

Dont forget many modern things were broght about by Star Trek, like the cellphone.

[faro0485]

Evolution? I do not know what that is. Do you know what that is?

[TheFuror1191]

Evolution is the changing of inherited traits in a population from one generation to the next. Aaron has explained it about as beautifully as it can be explained so watch a few times or read the transcript over if you don't fully understand it.

[faro0485]

Interesting, according to Darwin, the cause of evolution was... God.

And according to some researchers, evolution happens in stages most notably after extreme climate change.

That's the key point, the cause of evolution, and the quantum physics of biology & evolution.

Personally, I wouldn't ignore Al-Jahiz's Kitab al-Hayawan (Book of Animals).

[TheFuror1191]

You must tell me where you've seen that Darwin beleived god was the cause of evolution. To my understanding Darwin beleived evolution was purely undirected and naturalistic. What's more is that Darwin was quoted as saying his state of mind was that of an Agnostic, and therefore it'd be pretty hypocritical of him to turn around and say he beleived god played part in evolution.

[faro0485]

Wikipedia: Charles Darwins view on religion.

And I'm sure that agnosticism was understood as a state of believing in god, yet not having a specific religion in those days - according to what is written in that article. You could say there are such things as atheistic, pantheistic, monotheistic and theistic agnostics in that sense.

[TheFuror1191]

That's a good point, but I'm not convinced he was merely undecided on which religion to choose. In a letter to a Dutch student in 1873 he wrote that the impossibility of the wonderous universe arising from chance alone seemed to be the chief argument for god, but he was not decided on wether or not this was an argument that held any value, and in his autobiography in 1876 he wrote another passage which I'll include in another box because im running out of space to type lol

[TheFuror1191]

"The old argument from design in Nature, as given by Paley, which formerly seemed to me so conclusive, fails, now that the law of natural selection has been discovered. We can no longer argue that, for instance, the beautiful hinge of a bivalve shell must have been made by an intelligent being, like the hinge of a door by man. There seems to be no more design in the variability of organic beings, and in the action of natural selection, than in the course which the wind blows." - Charles Darwin

[faro0485]

Well I do note that the Darwin family went from Deism to Agnosticism.

He was clearly undecided.

Infact if the Unitarians were more active, he may have become one of them, as they really liked him.

[TheFuror1191]

It's interesting to note which way his family went as far as religion is concerned, but it definitely does seem that Darwin himself was not a true believer, or undecided as you say.

All of that aside though, his passage that I presented earlier certainly does answer the question of wether or not he believed in god's role in evolution, and that was really the most important point I wanted to learn more about.

Thank you for helping me to understand a bit more about this very important man.

[faro0485]

Yes but I refered to something he wrote in 1879, where as you refered to something where he say's "There seems to be no MORE design". One can easily say that he considered the organic to have a similarity to the inorganic. No one would disagree with him, as the fibonacci sequence was known during his time.

[TheFuror1191]

I don't know what you referred to so if you could show me that I'd appreciate it to better understand what you're talking about. As for the passage I posted earlier where he said "there seems to be no more design" It seems very cut and dry to me that what he was saying was "the old argument from design in nature..fails" I don't know how anyone could derive that he may have still held beliefs that god played a role in evolution, but I guess if you take that one part of out context it makes sense.

[faro0485]

Wikipedia: Charles Darwin's view on religion; agnosticism.

"I think that generally (and more and more as I grow older), but not always, that an Agnostic would be a more correct description of my state of mind."

Infact if you visit "the complete works of Darwin online" and type "Agnostic" into the search box, you'll see what I mean.

[TheFuror1191]

You're beginning to lose me on this one. I had no idea wether or not he was an agnostic was the focus of this. I am well aware that he said he was an agnostic. I even included part of that same quote in an earlier reply. The issue I'm trying to learn more about is wether or not you were correct in saying that he held god responsible for evolution.

[TheFuror1191]

Now supposing he did believe in god, as which seems to be the case since he said he has never been an atheist in the sense that he denied god's existence, than you could say that in the big picture he believed god was responsible for evolution, but as the earlier passage I provided and this quote from wikipedia suggest (He now thought it better to look at pain and suffering as the result of general laws rather than direct intervention by God) he held laws responsible and not intervention.

[cre8ivmind]

I agree totally with what you're saying. I'm a Christian who recognizes evolution as fact. I've been active in trying to reconcile science with my faith. It's not simply a matter of faith; I do have good reason for believing in God. I really think those fundies take it too far. They constantly break God's 9th commandment to get their point across.

[chrispalasz]

I like the video - but get rid of that distracting background music. Okay I'm single focused...

Anyway - check out my videos if you're bored. Maybe we'll have something to talk about. Peace

[Asalieri]

As an Atheist myself, I would argue that today's scientific establishment is just as bad, if not worse than the theologist when it comes to being extremely defensive about their own religion.

To this day, QM and GR have presented several inconsistencies that we, rather than adress them, simply ignore or worse... chalk up to god in the long run!

"science should teach skepticism and independent thought" you say. I agree. Then why can't scientists accept the idea that GR and QM might be... wrong?

[AtheistAaron]

I think most do, but we have to assume that when something works, it is because it is correct. We didn't understand gravity when Newton theorized it, but it worked. If a better explanation comes along, science will adopt it.

[Asalieri]

Problem is that nowadays scientists have grown so used to Relativity and Quantum Mechanics that they will not accept an explanation that does not stem from those theories. They block papers they view as "Radical" and they ridicule anti-relativistic science.

Yet these people, when they can't tell you what the nature of a black hole is, or indeed when they can't DEFINE what energy really is, eventually attribute the unexplained... to god.

That's not science. God isn't an answer, it's a question!

[chrispalasz]

Well the problem is that GR and QM have predicted SO many things that have been corroborated by observation. So rather than give up on two theories that have been HUGELY successful, scientists do what they always do and find unifying theories.

But some scientists HAVE broken from the norm and they back String Theory... which is responsible for all SORTS of crazy and unsupported (as of yet) predictions.

I sit with the GR/QM crowd.

[catface21007]

sorry but i dont belive in evolutions because i dont belive that we where a germ then a clam then a fish then a reptile then a rat then a money and finaly a human that is so stupit!if evelution was real then why do we eat meat?that would make use canivals because we would be eating our relitive who is a fish or cow right?and why cant a ape have human children if you have sex with it?cats and dogs do why not human and apes?ill tale you why because evolution is noting but a belive system.

[AtheistAaron]

Your profile says you are 22 years of age, and that you live in the United States. I refuse to believe that the education system failed you that much.

[demer64]

In your video you say that creationists say the earth is 6000 yrs.old.Thats wrong the bible says its much older.Its been 6000 yrs since Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden.You criticize christians for being ignorant and some are,but, your being ignorant if you think the bible agrees w/ the universe being 6000 yrs.old.

[AtheistAaron]

I never said I think that the Bible says that. That is one (popular, I might add) interpretation. I am addressing those like VenomFangX, and those "Way of the Master" fellows. I understand that not all Creationists believe this, but I have spoken with some who do, and that is what I am addressing. Regardless of how the Bible is interpreted, I believe it has no scientific value regarding the age of the Earth.

[demer64]

opinions vary.

[MoThErCaMeR]

get a life you look like harry potters ballsack

[sk0all]

dude so u seen his ballsacks damnnn ur ma gayyyy

[MoThErCaMeR]

yer fuck off i aint a fag you are "ur ma gayy" im not your bitch and the only reason i saw harry potters balls is i walked past your mums window and saw some sucking going on so i hope you didnt join in and start a 3 sum dick head so stfu lol :)

[darrellmellissa]

@demer64 The bible says man was created, not the world.

[amsp79]

Seriously, you're so absurdly ignorant I can only hope natural selection does us all a favor and prevents you from passing on your flawed genes to the next generation.

[rugby16161616]

wtf? how is he ignorant he has just given you a science lesson and you calll him ignorant science is not like religion its about progress and finding the truth

you dont want to accept it thats why you say hes ignorant you havnt even said how becuase you cant

[amsp79]

My post is directed towards "catface21007" not the creator of the video, hence the reference to evolution moron.

[rugby16161616]

we did not nessesarly all form from one cell more thatn one cell could of been formed at the same timebut its unlikely and yes we would be then eating our relatives but how dose that make your point valid we could be eating our relativs

and your whole argument on dogs and cats is dumb you clearly dont understand evolution research it first then you will relise why your wrong about dogs and cats

[markbrock30]

catface21007, at the end of the day everything we see on Earth is made of the same stuff - matter. So, yes, everytime you eat a vegetable, animal etc. you are eating something that is built using same stuff that you are made out of - it's just that the building blocks look differnt :-).

[rugby16161616]

you cant accept evolution becuase it claims we were desended by monkeys but you have no problem with the biblical belif that we were created from dirt!

[rugby16161616]

you cant accept evolution becuase it claims we were desended by monkeys but you have no problem with the biblical belif that we were created from dirt!

[skateman22]

i know that song

[firesofcirculation]

This is all very true and good (I think, I I did skip rather a bit, my attention span being short and all) and you're obviously extremely intelligent and sensible, but I have to say I have a great respect for you, because you seem to have more hope than me that the real die hard evolutionists and theologians might change their minds or at least give up trying to convince most of the world that they will 'burn in hell'. And you're right, we can't force beliefs on children, but people still do. :(

[AtheistAaron]

You just keep on trying, 'til you run out of cake.

[firesofcirculation]

...and the science gets done and you make a neat gun for the people who are still alive :P

[AlexisBrookeM]

Everything is bound in space and time.

If you have evidence of something that is not, I would most genuinely like to examine it.

[5953056]

God is not bound in time and space. Consciousness does not require body. Evolutionists perhaps do not know the other scientific discoveries. When the zero quantum energy field is located inside the mere vacuum of space which cannot be said as 'inside' or 'some body' but everything comes into existence and remains with it. Mass and energy is equivalent. Thus not every life form needs conventional body. Your argument is wrong.

[rugby16161616]

consciousness dose logically require and your logic that in can becuase of existance is not true becuase the theres no thought waves

[markbrock30]

If there is a being who is not bound to space and time, and has no creator itself, then the being is meaningless - so any fear instilled through religion is meaningless.

There are only two possible solutions. Either there is an ultimate creator (and it dosen't need to be like one described in any of our religions), or our perception of time is wrong, meaning there was no beginning, and they'll be no end.

The later being more logical.

[5953056]

Of course science cannot describe every bit of existence in time and space and beyond, something like rules of basketball cannot be applied to the whole universe. The coach should not blame the baseball players in this case. I recommend you and alike thinking scientists to keep yourselves in your domain. Do not bother for those things which are not in your domain.

[trevken]

And well don't even get started on the amazing natural laws that govern the solar systems in such a way that life can exist (looking very similar to an atom). But great blog now I've got my ramble over with. ;)

[trevken]

Aaron, I agree with most things you say. However, creationalists have done much for this debate (bringing the question up) and a lot to damage it.I can't see why creationalists, say evolution harms spirituality. Evolution shows countless examples of design. Design by trial and error maybe but still design (Computers were designed but have still 'evolved'). And with each mutation, there is acknowledgement of the mutations being useful and then kept in the DNA.

[trevken]

You could argue that what worked stayed because the others died out but there are simply too many examples of branches of evolution which exist, which would not have been necessary for the species to survive. Examples of beauty, examples of creativity, features for comfort, pleasure, co-operation (as apposed to natural selection through competition) and examples of down right ingenuity.

[trevken]

I'm not religious. I believe that we, the earth, and the universe are the manifestation of god. We seek it because we are the closest thing, being the peak of current evolution. There is endless scientific research which suggests a higher order in science especially physics. There is suggestion that the earth may be/has been growing (see other vids). One experiment under lab conditions discovered the phenomenon of plasma based life. Plasma exists in the cores of the earth and sun.

[trevken]

And well don't even get me started on the amazing natural laws that govern the solar systems in such a way that life can exist (looking very similar to an atom by the way). Anyway dude now I've got my ramble over with, great vlog! ;)

[sgtOOX]

your missing the point the concept of GOD trancends any laws pertaining to us since it would mean he created the laws, i would like to discuss this stuff with you send me a message please(a friendaly debate, you seem mature but just in case ya know)

-sgtoox

[PRFrancis]

If your atheist you should know its phycically impossible for man to know how large or how long the space & time will or where there, so worry about real problems :D

[PRFrancis]

Who cares what children beleave made the earth, dont worry about theselittle opinions which in the modern world have made NO problems, what has madeproblem is political corruptness and national pride, nationalism is the worlds biggest killer, lack of political knowledge & moral which causes the record breaking crimes of today. If your religious ther bible says you cant come close to understanding the universe,

[ika600]

omg!!! satan ??? heheh

i really love your explinations this will help on my debate tom. thank you!!!

[AtheistAaron]

You are quite welcome. ^_^

[HaleyMary]

I do agree that children should not be forced to believe everything they're taught. Society should allow for people to have more thoughts and ideas in regards to science. Those books by Hawking are really good books. I've read both "A Brief History Of Time" and "The Universe In A Nutshell", among other books by Hawking and other scientists. :)

[AtheistAaron]

Excellent books. =)

I believe it was Neil deGrasse Tyson who said we should be teaching our children not what to think, but HOW to think.

[hover2pi]

how do you explain the origin of the first forms of life (made up of about a mole of atoms) from completely random processes?

[AtheistAaron]

DNA is a self-replicating protein. The process by which these can be created via simple chemical interactions has already been proven in laboratories. The whole point of this video is to illustrate how these interactions (and, later, natural selection) is anything BUT random.

[hover2pi]

Thats wasn't exactly what i was referring to. I was asking how it is possible that these life supporting structures come into existence through random processes. But maybe I'm misunderstand something. If you think that DNA is the result of anything BUT randomness then do you believe in a God and purpose? or...what? because its either God or not

[AtheistAaron]

I disagree. The dichotomy of God and randomness is false. Chaos is not random. As we examine quantum mechanics, everything seems to become more and more chaotic and unexplainable the smaller the scale, but theoretical physicists are making great strides at unification. I make no claims of any special knowledge - there may well be a god or gods. I have seen no evidence for he/she/it/them, however, so I attribute reality to what has been explained and what may be.

[fossdog]

I heard life was just a bunch of chemicals with lightning as a catalyst reacting and forming amino acids, which are a type of protein from which DNA was developed.

Oh and scientists can create life for about 0.0025 of a second in a lab I believe.

[Crash2onMac]

"scientists can create life for about 0.0025 of a second in a lab"

O.K. If scientists can only make life for that long then how could life suddenly come out of a mole of atoms and not die if there wasn't a god holding it together?

[csr88]

please do not respond if you have nothing intelligent to say. go READ!

[sgtOOX]

well you have a small point nothing happens in useless randomness orderly chaos if you will,BUT ALL laws of physics and chemistry go completely against evolution and its entire premises, science is the stongest thing going against evolution plus if you want to debate someone then debate areal person not comedians and scripted defenses

-sgtoox

[hover2pi]

Do you have a degree in theoretical quantum mechanics?

[AtheistAaron]

Music, atually. =0

If I went back to college, I might try to get into physics, though, it's pretty amazing stuff.

My interest in theoretical physics is only as an amateur for now, though.

[hover2pi]

I have a degree in astrophysics (pending a few months). I don't remember the context of our last exchange but I should mention that nothing can undermine the God hypothesis because God is defined as infinite and since science is deals only with the finite it can never prove that God does not exist. In general people chose to believe in a God because it is a conclusion that does make sense.

[hover2pi]

I forget the name of the scientist that proved that weather you choose to believe in a God or not it's better to believe because you stand to gain even if he doesn't exist. Besides, what's the problem with believe in a merciful loving being?

[dean10007]

A big issue is that there are many people who base their beliefs on a book and then base their judgements on said beliefs. This often leads to people being stripped of rights (gay marriage being a major issue at the moment), as well as wars being fought solely in the name of "God"

[DeusMortemEst]

Tat show you mentioned... you haven't got a link to it, if it is somewhere on teh intarnets?

[64bitgamer]

Really, the thing with the 6000 year old earth has always rubbed me wrong as a christian. I personally don't buy it. The basis to that number is, itself, not biblical. Some guy pulled it out of his ass on the middle ages, and the Catholic church decided to stick with it. Really, any Christian who's taken a second or two to question their faith will tell you the bible is not to be taken literally. Those that do, are purporting many problems that still plague our religion. This included.

[AtheistAaron]

Yeah, I know most Christians don't believe this rubbish. I have no problems with Christians in and of themselves, just these backwards fundies. =0

[64bitgamer]

Here's an interesting point to consider. Since not acknowledging the truth is lying to oneself, the "backwards fundies" are in fact, sinning by misrepresenting evolution.

[AtheistAaron]

Very true! Although I fear that many of them actually believe the straw men, and it is merely the televangelists and their ilk that are consciously being dishonest.

[mejc2]

if you take a fish out of water it dies it doesn't grow lungs and feet. rocks have been broken into pieces and each piece dates differently. no organism has ever been observed changing into antoher organism. ever. evolution is not darwin's brainchild it has been knocked around for thousands of years. simialarity doesn't mean ancestory.

[AtheistAaron]

I was going to delete this post, but I have decided against it, because it is a perfect example of the kind of ridiculous straw men I am talking about in this video. I will leave it up, as it will incur you more ridicule than anything I could possibly post. I will, however, block you for spamming my video with intellectually dishonest nonsense. Have a nice day.

[greenrots]

Good video, not in-depth enough for me though. Perhaps you could do one on eugenics.

[Antitheistguy]

I recommend never deleting posts - even the moronic ones... The various theists delete posts, disable ratings, etc. of those who have the temerity to disagree with them. Dishonest and shallow... 

Great video... 5/5* and subscribe!

[greenrots]

"doesn't grow lungs" of course not evolution takes time, organisms HAVE been observed evolving like bacteria and viruses. you thick cunt do your research before commenting!

[satyv]

I couldnt pay attention too well cause of the music... Im sure it was good though.

[Bobwehadababy]

Why your mom is unnecessary.

And for our Spanish viewers:

Por que tu madre es innecesario.

[AtheistAaron]

Is your last name Itsaboy, by chance?

And what exactly is my mother unnecessary for? My birth? Are you suggestion I sprung forth from my father's head fully grown, like Athena from Zeus?

[childofGod73]

I feel deep regret for you atheistaaron, for misleading people in the truth, and doing the works of Satan, whether you realize or believe it. please, Repent now so that you may be forgiven of your horrible sins.

[MsTexasOne]

im a devout catholic and yet my mind is not closed to the idea that evolution is the work of a higher power. Its never been GOD VS SCIENCE If you believe God is omnipotent and omnipresent then you must also believe that you as a SERVANT to God CANNOT know his mind. Evolution is real ...bother to study ANY species that has to adapt to a different environment for whatever reason. Evolution IS the work of God.

[higgrobot]

"God" is a construct of man! same as Father Christmas, Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. Try using science to show a "God" exist, you won't be able to. I can Imagine a universe with no concept of "God" and therefore no religion or delusionals, it would be so wonderfully harmonious, perhaps on the next reset?

[panterastang]

now please use science to show god does not exists.

I agree with you to an extent. You blaming the world problems on religion are an example how immature we are. The problems created by man are mans fault. Not gods whether he is real or not.

[panterastang]

The blame game is part of the problem. We have to grow up. Losing faith or religion is not really part of that. Having the ability to interact with each other peacefully despite our differences might help. Not relying on a socialist welfare police state would be a good start too. Till then man has no chance to begin to walk on his own.

[higgrobot]

"You blaming the world problems on religion "

Did I blame the worlds problems on religion? No, I simply stated I could imagine a world where deluded religious types are not running around preaching about some fictional god character. On the up side for you lot, there would be no Satan or Hell, it's a win-win thing :)

you should not play music while talking, what you say sounds good i have to lissen to you over the music hmm lissen to you talk or lissen to the song dont give em a choice dont talk and play music :))

[lllllSeanlllll]

oh its old vid and you allready know not to play songs over talking my bad.

No sweat, thanks for the comments! I still do use music sometimes, but I tend to put it WAY in the background, and it usually is instrumental.

Thanks again!

I don't get the point,you don't say anything new accept the opinion that 'what a comedian says is "many scientists'" argument'.

When indoctrinated in an billions of years old earth,of course 6k seems small.But how strange it sounds is not an argument.Both opinions are hypothesis,one may be more credible(and more worked out) than the other,but hypothesis nevertheless.And it doesn't disprove God.If He wanted to reveal Himself in a 'testable' manner to everyone,He would do so.

[yobrb]

you sound pretty intelligent

[kuppasoop]

Please turn off the music next time.

[AtheistAaron]

Already done, this is a very old vid. =)

[deadcertain4life]

I feel sympathy for you, "Atheist Aaron" in how lost you are in your argument. If you only understand that giving your life up to God answers all questions, you wouldn't spend so much time trying to make a dent on a subject that is pointless. like I said, I'm not criticizing nor judging you, I just pray that god open your eyes.

[AtheistAaron]

No need to feel sorry for me, my friend. I am quite happy. My eyes are open. =)

[deadcertain4life]

Well God bless you at least you will be happy in this life. I am happy for you for that reason.

[drbeserka]

ahahahhahaa I freaking love this vid,

'Such as Republicans and democrats' :D

[furgetit07]

good stuff

[spikecrawley8]

no that person is correct because we would either be apes or human or apes would be smarter. or we would have sub species of a cross between our dna. sorry our dna is the most closest to a banana. not a monkey.

[AtheistAaron]

What?

[thefakeyeti]

What SONG is playing in the background.. you say the artist in the description.. but the beat of this particular song strikes me as interesting..

[AtheistAaron]

The three songs in this vid and the first song in the second are all by Jonathan Coulton, and he has made them available for free on his website (just Google him). In this vid they are (in order):

1.) Creepy Doll

2.) Re: Your Brains

3.) Tom Cruise Crazy

I highly recommend him, he's brilliant. =0

[thefakeyeti]

Oh! He is the guy who has the awesome baby got back cover!

thank you.I remember that that song got featured on here(youtube)

[thefakeyeti]

oops should've specified.. the song in the BEGINING of the video..

I assumed there was one song..

[arlopickens]

five stars.

[AtheistAaron]

Thanks =)

So how can a human eye evolve - when a less-than-complete eye is blind. It therefore has no benefit to survival and would not be preferrentially selected for passing to the next generation.

[AtheistAaron]

A less than complete eye is NOT blind. Many people are alive today with only 5% vision, and they would be quick to tell you they treasure that 5%. There are a variety of types of eyes of varying complexity within different life forms. Dawkins already debunked this argument in The Blind Watchmaker, I suggest you read it.

[IcyNami]

(In focus to where you talked about the comedian joke) The evolutionary chain is just a segment strip of the tree that represent evolution. That can be a hard interpretation for people who aren't well educated in evolution and believe religion, especially if they are brainwashed creationism. Then we get these creationist idiots on youtube.

If god is an all powerful being, he could seriously do better than just book.

By the way, whats that background song you got there.

[AtheistAaron]

The music in these vids (aside from the last song in part two) is provided by the great Jonathan Coulton - jonathancoulton DOT com

Thanks for the comments!

[deadcertain4life]

Actually, if He did greater than a book, than everyone would accept him, the same as Satan cast out of Heaven, faith is a test, the test being life, and you past the test on having faith in something you cant see but know is there, then you get eternalpeace in heaven. THAT is why God just made a book.

[IcyNami]

No, go on, I like your rambling.

[skaggmo]

Let me see if I got this straight- Billions of years ago there was a dot, so tiny that you couldn't see it. The dot exploded and sent particles in all directions. Somehow, those tiny particles became larger and larger, until they formed planets, suns, etc. Stuff automatically started growing on at least one of those planets. The stuff that grew changed and changed until finally it stood up and walked. Then, the stuff wrote a book about fairy tales. Is that it?

[AtheistAaron]

Did you watch my video?

[philhellenes]

Very glad that you started making videos. Don't stop. You have a nice clarity to the flow of your arguments, and good arguments themselves. I was gonna give you 4.99 stars but YT, and my conscience, left me no option but to give the fully deserved 5.

[AtheistAaron]

Thank you so much, Phil! I'm uploading a video tonight, albeit on race, not religion.

[AtheistAaron]

JasChaZ - what exactly is so absurd about it? Personally, I think it is absurd to believe the Earth is 6,000 years old. When I say it is absurd, I say so precisely because I "know my shit", inasmuch as I have studied geology, biology, and physics. As I said in my video, I am not a professional scientist, but a layperson. However, we should all be autodidacts and take responsibility for our own educations. I highly recommend you read some of the books I mentioned in this video.

[JasChaZ]

seriously,........get a life and know what your actually talking about. Sorry too be mean but please know your shit before you do this, because this is soo fucking absurd.

[deadcertain4life]

And you are WHO??? the need for atheist aaron is not to judge but to fast and pray.

[JasChaZ]

All I have to say is that youre ignorant and dumb.

[CousinoMacul]

Creationists are <i>Tom Cruise crazy<i>.

[AtheistAaron]

*LOL* Jonathan Coulton is the man!

[sickstyle]

hey that was really good... but i thought the mathematics in the end was kinda silly cause u could go backwards on that and say that science is off instead of creationism (when thinking from a totally unbiased view ofcourse). just state the facts and ur opinions. interestin tho. keep it up, ill check out part 2

[AtheistAaron]

Thanks for your comments. Yeah, I guess I kind of take it for granted that most people know about Cosmic Background Radiation. I give it a passing mention but I don't really explain about it. The idea is that we are living in a giant explosion, and using microwave telescopes we are able to get an image of that explosion. We also use mathematics based on expansion to look at the size of the universe and calculate the age based on how far out the explosion has spread. Thanks again for watching!

[AtheistAaron]

Oh, also (me ramble!) I felt like I had to include the mathematics because the age of the universe directly relates to the understanding of evolution and the big bang, because these things required a lot of time to occur (well, that the big bang required a lot of time is MY hypothesis). Thanks again!

[kalin666]

Clearly Satan is behind the discrepancy! All dating methods were invented by SATAN! Only the good book is real! Charles Darwin was possessed by SATAN! Stephen Hawking is possessed by SATAN! Richard Dawkins IS SATAN!

[AtheistAaron]

Literally laughed out loud.

[HimmuraTube]

Very good arguments.

[AtheistAaron]

Thanks. In part two I really drive it home. Also, that's where Star Trek comes in. :)
