  • stars? all i can do is vote up or down

  • @HannoverFisk yeah I dont know how to give stars either, if you work it out let me know

  • only the first 30 seconds of this video made me seriously think that how stupid people can be o__o

  • 919 People are still swinging through the trees, knocking each-other on the head with sticks, and worshipping the sun...

  • whats a vote bot?

  • @scribbie145 A bot is a program, a vote bot is a program designed to go through youtube videos and vote down videos. Its pathetic really...

  • Dogbert is not ammused.

  • I think Hovind should try an experiment: stopping artillery shells with tissue paper.

  • Kent Hovind is a complete moron. Anyone with a decent high school education should know that everything he says is wrong.

  • @AnthonyHongy Why would it be limited to people with a high school education? Things like "water stops x-rays" or "there is an ice shield above the atmosphere" sound stupid enough that no sane person could believe what he's saying.

  • In fact they're not X.RAYS those molecules have another name and we experiece a constant rain of those, which do not have any effect or whatsoever with us cause they do not stay in our bodies, they pass right through it, cause its pure energy! that idiot!!! ¬¬ no wonder why he stop teaching, if he ever did.

  • how come we get constantly xrayed when the ice layer above the atmosphere protects us?

  • @diegonikki alpha too, thouh the air above the water stops alpha on its own

  • water only works with beta particles and cosmic rays radiation like x rays and gamma rays will pass straight through water and if that they couldnt why do x ray machines work?

    hovind is just a stupid man

  • Have you ever corrected that CreatorsTruth guy on here? You should.

  • Well, the aging - yes, X-rays kind of affect your aging, or... in fact any damage to your body, because to repair it, cells need to reproduce, which shortens the tylomere (not native speaker, not sure how to spell it). so in fact the more body gets damaged, the shorter you'll live, although it might be a very insignificant difference. Anyway, your claim on that wasn't absolutely cosher.

    (And i'm an atheist :-D)

  • "uuuh no" utter genius

    'God' i love your videos xD.

  • Kent Hovind is in jail because he was trying to warn the world that their is a dark agenda out there that aims at destroying the morality of every man woman and child making them into beasts. In fact Darwinism states that we evolved from mere beasts. God says you should hold your head up because you have been given free will by an all powerful all wise and all loving Creator. Jesus answered "Woe to them who worship the Created (Monkeys/Primates) rather then the Creator."

  • @JamesRideout123

    How are you even sure that the words in the Bible come from a god? How do you ascertain that the Bible is not the words of mere men like you and me?

  • @JamesRideout123

    Uhh, no.

    Kent Hovind is in jail because he lied about taxes.

    Ray Comfort, William Lane Craig, and Kirk Cameron are idiots of similar caliber to Kent Hovind, but they haven't lied on their taxes yet and so they aren't going to jail for tax fraud.

  • We are in agreement here. Large amounts of water can stop radiation. A cloud however doesn’t contain enough water to stop radiation. Anyway the reason I posted was based on the fascination i felt and still remember in seeing that "visual" radiation caused by the Cherenkov Effect.

  • Waters DO stop radiation.

    I'm in no way a fan of Kevin Hovind and his scientific claims are very stupid.

    However...

    I have myself been inside a nuclear plant and seen the visible light (Cherenkov radiation) from used fuelrods. The reason I could see them was due to fact that they were at a bottom of a basin of water and the water shielded me from the radiation.

    There is some amazing footage at Wikipedia. Just search for Cherenkov radiation.

    Clouds are not enough but water stops it.

  • @MegaKoschei

    I'm not saying you're wrong but Thunderf00t said in his last video that a canopy of water over the earth would block radiation; pretty much all of it. I don't think he's stating that water doesn't just that clouds don't.

  • @MegaKoschei

    I'm sorry, were you saying you SAW this radiation, or that it was BLOCKED?

    Because you DON'T see radiation that's BLOCKED.

    It just happens that Cherenkov radiation is blue colored, not X-ray colored. And your basin is shallow enough to not block it, so you DO see it.

  • Comment removed

  • lol "water stops xrays" well its a good damn thing he wasnt apart of making the first man operated spacecraft. im giggling at how silly this is

  • Oh dear!!!

    Does that mean that I have to dehydrate myself when I need to get an X-ray?!

    Is that why the the waiting room of the radiologist didn't have any air conditioning?!

    Enlightening, this Hovind fellow is...

  • Conservative Christian Logic: watch?v=2Fa9_VsM5Bk

  • It's incredibly sad that I have learned more about physics, logic, math, astronomy and biology from thunderf00t, potholer54, dprjones, donexodus2 and jaguaryjones than I have ever learned in elementary through highschool.

  • @NewSocietyRBE Out of interest, would you say that this was the case due to your level of interest being higher because of the extrinsic reward of being more knowledgeable in internet arguments compared to learning your sciences devoid of context in the school system? I ask this as a highschool physics teacher :)

  • @Misterb0z It is mainly that the school I attended showed very little initiative in teaching us how to reach conclusions rather than just telling us a conclusion.

  • @NewSocietyRBE I've had the same experiance in all of my eduction. Even now, on my second year studying mathematics at university this is still an annoyance for me.

  • @bradkey98765 I never had a problem with mathematics, I just lacked the interest to do it beyond Calculus.

  • @NewSocietyRBE You said you were a double phD. Yea, this is totally VOR. Are you still the alpha male stallion of your herd?

  • @machwon Um, you stalked me to another video to proclaim that I am someone else based on a comment my niece made? Geez, are you obsessed with this guy or something?

  • @NewSocietyRBE So not only does your racist dad comment on your videos, but your YouTube schooled niece does too? Give it up VOR, you stand out like Milton Friedman's cowlick.

  • @machwon Also, my niece was here for a few days and needed the computer for watching some lecture's on YT for her homework. Sorry for only buying a single computer and only living on what I actually use.

  • @NewSocietyRBE A double phD would clearly be able to afford her little princess her own computer for her studies. He also wouldn't be up at almost 1 am making YouTube comments defending himself against accusations that he's really a community college dropout.

  • @machwon 1. She doesn't live with me. 2. She is not my daughter. 3. I don't buy anything I don't use or need. 4. What makes you think that because I have a double PhD that I have a decent living? 5. I am extending my sick day to have some time with my family and I am usually up this night anyways preparing my courses. 6. I never went to a community college.

  • @NewSocietyRBE I love how you just fall right into my traps, every single time. You're too easy to manipulate, Devin. 

  • @machwon Huh? What are you talking about? Also, my name is not Devin.

  • @machwon So, you admit to manipulating to other people on YouTube so you can engage in a trolling manner then? I guess there is no more of a reason to engage you anymore in a respectful manner. Considering your trolling behavior and your accusation of me being someone I am not over a simple misunderstanding shows that you are not to be taken seriously by me or anyone else. Goodbye troll.

  • @NewSocietyRBE Nope, just you because it's too easy to get you to discredit yourself which is all I need you to do. I set you up to fail, and you played into it. See you later, Deven. Also, learn to use proper grammar. You're a doctor, FFS.

  • @machwon You say I don't proper grammar, yet you cannot seem to spell the name of the person your accusing me of being correctly. Is it Deven or Devin? I sure feel sorry for the English teacher who tried to teach you how to spell properly.

  • @NewSocietyRBE "You say I don't proper grammar" LOL

  • @machwon So the troll reveals himself, tell me how does it feel knowing that your kind will never accepted into society and that you are a bunch of basement dwellers?

  • @NewSocietyRBE Well not all of us live in their parent's living room sucking up SSI. Most of us have our own homes and jobs that contribute to your non-contributing ass. Cheers.

  • @machwon Interesting that you accuse me, a man over 50 years old with a teaching position with two high degrees as leeching off of SSI and not contributing. Interesting that you keep insisting that I am this 'Deven,' no wait is 'Devin'? Which is the real name of this phantom enemy that you have conjured up in your head? Oh wait, never mind I am trying to be logical with a troll and as we all known, Troll's can't compute with logic as they are still in kindergarten.

  • @NewSocietyRBE phDs know how to punctuate, Deven.

  • @machwon Funny, is picking on my spelling on a place where nobody really gives a fuck all you can do? Is this the extent of your trolling habits? Then why don't you go back to school in order to learn how to troll others instead of failing at it? And why the fuck do you keep calling me Deven/Devin?

  • @NewSocietyRBE Spelling ≠ grammar and punctuation. 'In a place', not 'on a place.' A real phD would know this, Deven. I'm starting to think you and Kent Hovind purchased your doctorates from the same diploma mill.

  • @machwon go the fuck away you stupid fucking asshole. i dont like how you are treating others on here especially my cousin. he just went to sleep because we have to get to bed for our mountain trip tomorrow. also you stupid, nobody not me not you gives a flying fuck how people spell in an internet comment section on youtube. grow the fuck up and get a fucking life you piece of shit or do i have to beat it out of you that nobody gives a fuck about you or your fagotry ass. blocked

  • @NewSocietyRBE I'll try not to loose any sleep over it, Deven.

  • @machwon  You mean "PhD"

  • @jethrodassam He said "phD" This kid is a tool. /watch?v=JqvIoNzYcdo

  • @Trapadoo

    Actually you're only partially right, the earth's geomagnetic field is largely responsible for protecting us from radiation. The magnetosphere is a bit like a forcefield keeping us from frying like eggs. Mars also has a magnetosphere though it is weaker than our own, and besides, on mars the ultraviolet radiation will get you long before the xrays.

  • yea when my dentist takes xrays, he stands behind a wall of 5 gallon bottles from zephyrhills

  • If I may quote Glee:

    Sue: "I have a PhD!"

    Will: "You got it online!"

  • I'm sorry, but as soon as i eared kent talk(the first time)...i just laughed! and i know little (!!) in science...but this???:o I'm just...chocked!

    keep up the good work!

    FSM rule!

    Ramen

  • Please excuse my ignorance, but what DOES stop x-rays? Or are there insufficient numbers of them to begin with? Both?

  • @CQUNC: Lead does for example. When I x-ray an old master painting I am screwed of the painter used a lead white primer. :)

  • @Trampadoo I meant in the Earth's atmosphere.

  • @CQUNC: Oh I see, sorry. Our atmosphere absorbs and scatters most of the x-rays because it is so thick. The atoms of the atmosphere are widely paced but there are enough piled above each other to fill the gaps so to speak to absorb and scatter most of it. The thinner the atmophere of a planet the more would reach its surface. I think Mars for example is pretty much a huge x-ray chamber all the time.

  • If water stopped x-rays, than an x-ray machine used to look at your bones wouldn't work since the body is made up of about 70% water.

  • so according to this bible loving jackass and selfproclaimed professor. then we can live forever if we live in a submarine.

  • @AtheistScientific

    A yellow submarine :)

  • A tree that can live 5000 years wow

  • Silly. he /obviously/ taught bible science for all those years.

    p.s. anyone who threatens an atheist with death and damnation should look at the irony there

  • The suns x-rays are blowing holes through my body? I'm swiss cheese =D!

  • we are made of about 70 percent water conclusion "i am self shielding"

  • Not so, last time I went to the dentist, I had to put on an cloud apron.

    It, protected my brain.

  • he has such an arrogant, beautiful accent.

  • 30 seconds in, I felt my brain slow down.

    After the video, my mental functions were restored.

  • no you idiots! Clouds block Xray! try taking an Chest radiograph in a plane in flight, lol

  • the x-rays produced by and x-ray machine are much more intense than the ones we receive from the sun and you need a dense material to block it. the same way that light only can travel so far through water. the water canopy we had was more than enough to absorb all the uv rays and x-rays and let the other spectrum's through like a green house. you guys are so cynically retarded and cant think about a situation and the differences applied. it makes yourselves look very ignorant or stupid.

  • @coolkatt11174 Wow... The fact that people still consider the utter impracticality, idiocy, fallaciousness and religiously arrogant "theories" (which are NOT theories in the scientific sense) , is so unbearably pathetic, it makes me question the fate of humanity.

    Please pick up another book besides the bible before you end up making yourself look stupid.

    OH WAIT

  • @coolkatt11174 sigh...not even worth responding too, i will just humor you...Good boy! Arent you a clever chappy? :)

  • This series is addictive. I'm surprised I haven't discovered it before now.

  • @88rat88 I'm rewatching this for the third or fourth time. Hope to see you again.

  • Not to mention that the human body is approximately 2/3 water, yet when we go for an x-ray checkup at a hospital we can see our skeletons with crystal clarity. Some great shielding that water does, eh?

  • lol

  • he says it wrinkles not that it shortens the life time

  • Hey Guys! Does anyone know if Thunderf00t ever did a video about the creationist argument that the Earn and moon have to be less than 10,000 years old because the moon increases distance away from the Earth X amount every year? If not, does anyone know where I could get that information debunked? Thanks.

  • proving creationist wrong is like shooting fish in a barrel lol

  • @DoctorWong1979 more like a dead fish on concrete...XD

  • If we want to teach the alternative, let's also teach alchemy with chemistry, phrenology with psychology (and put The Culture of Critique on the reading list) magic with physics, homeopathy with health, also teach the flat earth theory in geography, teach eugenics alongside intelligent design in biology (and put The Passing of the Great Race on the reading list) and also teach Nordic Theory in history class.

    Why stop with intelligent design when there's so much more pseudoscience?

  • @CrazyCheeseMagee I want to learn magic! I did physics! If we do this, can I go back to school? :O

  • @Pestington Sure, and we could learn alchemy and be as badass as Edward Elrich!

    Funny also that Roger Bacon, although being an alchemist, was also one of the founders of modern science based on observation and the scientific method.

  • @CrazyCheeseMagee And lets not forget about the group that still believes that the sun revolves around the earth ! Lets teach that too. We certainly wouldn't want to leave anybody out !

  • @420gma So why can't they realize that the education system is meant to teach people FACTS, not to please everyone no matter how stupid their views?

    History's also a problem. Look at the Texas Schoolboard who replaced Thomas Jefferson with John Calvin, and took out a lot, if not everything, relating to the civil rights movement and separation of church and state!

  • @CrazyCheeseMagee There are many reasons! One of coasre they have been brainwashed from very early ages .Some are just desperate for some meaning in there lives. And of coarse the big facter is fear . Remember their god tells them he will kill them and send them to hell if they don't believe .Imagine telling that to a child!

  • @CrazyCheeseMagee And then of coarse there are those in it for the money and the power .

  • @420gma That means that anyone could create a fake Evangelical ministry that's actually a scam probably by someone who isn't religious at all. I think Cartman did that in an episode of South Park as well as create a Christian rock group for the purpose of getting a platinum album and money.

  • @CrazyCheeseMagee True. Hell anybody do it just take some mail order bible class get a certificate and your on your way.Look at all the sex and money scandals some of these televangelist have been involved in. Oral Roberts family are filthy rich.

  • its not bullshit its bullocks

  • Well, I think you are overstating here because background radiation does have something to do with aging. It causes an increased rate of cell death. Which causes your cells to divide more often and thus causes the telomers of your DNA to reduce more quickly. Without background radiation we might live (decades?) longer.

  • so hang on, clouds stop x-rays, and therefore aging (as this is caused by the x-rays), I live in Britain where its always cloudy.... Does that mean i can live forever now? its incredible what some people can convince themselves, (and even more scarily, others) is "true"

  • I would like to encourage everybody to support Thunderf00t who continues vociferously defending the teaching of true science against it's oppressors. It's a debt we owe to our forefathers who have established the foundations of science from which we flourish and to our children who through them this knowledge will be preserved. It would be unforgiveable to allow the compromisation of this.

  • Thank you for all of these videos @Thunderf00t It's a great way to learn along with keep away bed bugs like creationists :D

    Sincerely, Impressed youtuber

  • If x-rays are stopped by water then why can we use them to view bone mass within the body when our bodies contain A LOT of water...

  • I find this guys voice annoying, I really do.

  • @truthseeker010101 Its a normal British voice.

  • @truthseeker010101 Then go away.

  • Thank you Thundert00t for shedding even more light on how terrible creationists can get.

  • It takes a special person to be as stupid as creationists like Kent Hovind. Thank you Thunderf00t

  • Dogbert?!

    <3

  • You obviously haven't read Read or Die. A single piece of paper CAN stop a bullet at point blank range.

  • @HimesInu He said an artillery shell not a bullet. There is a big difference.

  • @wisdom668 A bullet at point blank range to an artillery shell at distance has the same velocity.

  • @HimesInu an artillery shell explodes on impact

  • @wisdom668 Depends on the round. There are rounds that don't explode. Most do, but there are some that are meant not to.

  • @HimesInu Are you trolling? I daresay you are. :D

  • @kinro4 No, my girlfriend decided that some people might find this funny. It wasn't supposed to get a rise out of anyone or anything like that. So, by definition, not trolling.

  • @HimesInu Ah. Alrighty. Good reference for the joke though.

  • 3:58 Not to mention we live 150% longer now than the ancient Egyptians did.

  • these videos are brilliant lol. im on part 6(this part) and only stumbled accross them 30 minutes ago. they are now in my faves and will be shared. great stuff

  • HAHA! X-rays can't pierce water? so I guess when you get an X-ray it's not really looking at your bones sense the human body is made up about 60% water right?

  • LOL I live how he says "except on cloudy days" xD

  • water stops xrays. if you work taking radiographs, hide behind a wall of water. who needs to spend on a wall of lead?

  • So according to Kent I will never age if my ceiling is covered in water?

  • @Zaniahiononzenbei If you can reproduce the effects of the shield thru out your entire life your cells should not degrade as fast, yes. It would mena you live longer. Research is being done today using hyperbolic chambers. See its not just the water , its also the oxygen level being double it is today. The more we burn fossil fuels, the lower the life expaectancy will be. We need to clean the world, and figure out how to terraform it back to the awesome condition it was in then .

  • @truthseeker010101

    "Research is being done today using hyperbolic chambers."

    Drugs are bad......

  • @odinata being a skeptic is ignorance.

  • @odinata I don't do drugs. : ) 

  • @truthseeker010101

    You don't do coherent sentences--or logic.

    You've already ADMITTED you smoke a shit ton of drugs.....

  • @odinata I don't do drugs. You do drugs, you drink caffine, you take advil, you do drugs. I smoke a plant that heals , stmiulates brain cell growth and activity. I don't do drugs, you do!

  • @truthseeker010101

    "stmiulates brain cell growth and activity."

    Apparently its not working......

  • @odinata caffine kills 2500 a year, advil kills 13000 a year in the US alone. you can't die from cannabis use. No one in history has ever died from using cannabis to relieve thier anxiety. Knowledge is power. I hav ea 12 page paper written myself , about cannabis. If you wan't to know the truth about cannabis you can read it.

  • @odinata Truthseeker is right about cannabis, it can't kill a human. If you're going to overdose you have to smoke about 60 kilos of cannabis under 20 minutes, which is impossible. Cannabis have been used for 10 thousand years, as medication, clothing, paper, fuel and relaxation. And Harvard University research has shown that cannabis can stop certain diseases from spreading inside your body as Alzheimers and lung cancer. It was banned in the US purely by racism. Have a good day.

  • @Undergroundhiphoop

    I didn't say it could kill a human.

    It doesn't make a human any smarter, as you both are evidence of....

  • @odinata How am I dumb if I've just read results from test at the Harvard University?

  • @odinata you are the incompetent being

  • @polak3015

    Because I say these dope smokers aren't doing their cognitive abilities any benefit?

  • @odinata Stress is a real thing that can have serious health implications. Relieving stress through recreation is therefore something that is important to the physical and mental well-being of people. If someone uses marijuana to relieve stress, that's fine. It's quite a bit more benign than alcohol. And certainly the net benefit from moderate use of marijuana as a form of recreation outweighs the negatives.

  • @BigMikeMcBastard

    Who gives a fuck?

    You can shoot heroin into your eyeball for all I care.

    I don't care how you relieve stress.

    I was just noting that these dope smokers can't seem to FORM A COHERENT SENTENCE.

    It's obviously not helping THESES particular jokers in this specific area.

    Its obvious.

  • @odinata "Pot? What is this 'pot' you speak of? And how do you smoke a pot?"

  • @Zaniahiononzenbei it's not just one factor, and we dont really know how the affects where achieved, it is an area that is need of exploration. why daont you research it and see if you dont make a breakthrough in science? you never know, you may have an idea one else has come up with so far.

  • @Austin9599945 I doubt beleive in a god of the time. I believe God is in all life, all forms, so when people say thier God is this or that I believe thier God is God becuase God tells us he is in all. I am still a student and not quite ready to be a spiritual teacher but if you have questions I bet I can give you the answer, or a way to find it.

  • @Austin9599945 I noticed you commented a while ago about heaven and hell, what is Jesus and what is God. There are clear answers to these questions, you just wont find those answers in a Bible. Hell is here and it can be eternal, or you can leave it with desire. There is no sin, or hell in the christian sense, christians are confused. Thats why it confuses you, it's confusing and kinda silly. Weve long known the truth in scripture, the christians has confused it.

  • X-rays cause us to age?, My goodness that Kent Hovind guy IS A FUCKING IMBECILE. It should be illegal for people to be THIS stupid. Wow just wow, I'm honeslty speachless, words cannot describe how much of a simpleton that guy is.
