Father Knows Best: or does he? - (theUKatheist)

[eggfooyoung24]

Luke Skywalker has turned to the dumb side of the force!

[eddieedward1986]

i am a full on atheist but know a lot about faiths. if im not wrong god didnt create adam FIRST he created a garden in the east and needed someone to tend it then created adam and eve a companion, there go there were others in the world but adam was basically made a slave in gods garden lol and it goes on to say after cain left he married (ithink) i farmers daughter. i might be worng because its bee a while since i read the bible but shouldnt a priest have an intellegent answer for this.

peace

[OmegaCause]

Ah, just realized we have similar usernames.

[qbanmetal]

That's because the whole adam and eve story is just that pure fantasy. Have you every watched the movie harry potter, yeah that kind of fantasy

[Jbear9]

If Adam didn't have belly button, Eve must have had a rib button, right?

[bdpickett]

Wow, this guy is a moron. All he had to say was, "Adam and Eve had daughters too, but because they're women, the bible authors didn't bother to bring them up". Instead he goes on this tangent of, "Adam and Eve chose to not go with god" which is not only a total lie according to his holy book, it's a complete non-sequiter to the question. Leave it to Fox News to hire the absolute dumbest priest they could find.

[silverballer1911]

they fuked there moms isnt it obvious

[klhcc]

As a catholic, he knows that Genesis is rubbish - is he not allowed to say so on TV or would that offend too many creationists?

Peace.

[BottleConcreteBlond]

I think you actually lose IQ points from watching "Red Eye".

[Jmjager1]

Well, Adam and Eve werween't the first people you kniow. But if they were as in the bible said: incest, baby!

[klhcc]

@Jmjager1 - wouldn't it be great if Adam & Eve were 15 year olds as well; the first incestuous paedophiles!

Peace.

[Jmjager1]

@klhcc Hahaa, well the bible doesn't say how old Adam and Eve were.^^ 

[stressahp]

Spoken like a politician

[themsfightinwoids]

Total evasion and misrepresentation of the question. Disgusting dishonesty.

[SeanathenII]

Belly buttons = Incest...?

[TheOmegadusk]

@SeanathenII The question has to do with Adam supposedly being created fully formed, not in a woman's womb- thus he never had an umbilical cord so would he have a belly button.

[SeanathenII]

@TheOmegadusk Yeah, but the point was that whether or not he had a belly button is arbitrary whereas how Cain had children (Abel, I'm assuming being dead before he could presumably fuck his own mother) is quite a large and embarrassing plot hole in the narrative if you want to stay currently morally acceptable.

[TheOmegadusk]

@SeanathenII Full agree, I was just explaining the belly button thing because a lot of people seemed confused by that. I am surprised that a magical reaon hasn't yet been developed- e.g. Gawd willed another 10,000 humans into being so the first dysfunctional family had a genepool to work with. Why not- it's no crazier than using flaming shrubbery to communicate wth followers or changing physics to allow a man to live in a whale for more than a few minutes :)

[PlanetoftheeAtheists]

i asked a few theists this same question. The answers were pretty funny: Adam and Eve were the first real human, and all other people had evolved from the natural world and didnt have god-conscousness in them...or people lived to be 800 years back then...or my favorite, who are you to question GOD!?. Either way, this passage, and many, many others, should dispel this utter nonsense that the bible is a book inspired by the creator of the universe, or should be taken literally. It's shit

[GingerHistoryMajor]

The answer to this is simple, if you look in Luke 2:18 you will see that THE ENTIRE BIBLE IS A FUCKING JOKE

[taffwob]

@GingerHistoryMajor I disagree. There is real truth in the bible. It reads thus:

"RRP £15.99"

The rest is horseshit.

[aardvarkcustard]

WT hell? He actually believes this nonsense! He needs to do a course in literary theory: There are books of myths whose roots are lost in the mists of time, and there are documents that are about attested facts.

My son, doant mix fiction up with non-fiction - it makes you look like a berk.

[aikighost]

This is only one of the many issues that arise when you take a literal rather than metaphorical reading of the bible.

[Bigal155]

@sissingpyd...no no no, the statistical probability says he IS a child molester. And I'll bet he's wearing sock suspenders too!

[VincentsBlog]

I don't know, but what I do know is that bananas are yellow.

[sykeo123]

So why are you stealing videos from other people ?

this video was uploaded two years ago

[grimscarpious]

Why oh why do people still cling on to that stupid book?

[TheOmegadusk]

@grimscarpious Simplicity, hope, a desire for meaning and justice. Most people are would rather self-delude than face a challenging reality of self-fulfillment. I think that we hae to understand this before we can cure it (if we can).

[SissingPyd]

He looks like a child molester.

[GodPatrol]

I once asked a Christian this question and she said that Cain married his sister.

All part of God's plan I suppose.

[XxJackshowxX]

@GodPatrol Well, and I'm not defending Christianity believe me, but if the bible did take place in the middle east, the old culture of the middle east was that it was ok to and quite possibly still be practiced in the middle east today, to marry in the family ie cousins and what not, not 100% on sister brother though. But yeah, genetically speaking, we'd all then be inbreds and have deformities, compared to Adam and Eve's body structure.

[GodPatrol]

@XxJackshowxX Not just the middle east. In the UK you can marry your first cousin. Not sure how widespread it is, though.

[XxJackshowxX]

@GodPatrol Oh wow, did not know that. Thank you for the extra info, I'll have to read into that more when i have time, take care :)

[fearandselfloathing]

Origin of the first "your Mom," joke.

[EmmittBrownBTTF1]

Completely missed point that other Adam, Eve, perhaps Lilith, and the beasts no other breeding stock is mentioned.

[5jerry1]

One thing where I have to give him credit is his admission that he just doesn't know. Because being a Christian means never having to say "I don't know."

[whybag]

"We don't know exactly how the universe/life was created."

HA! Proof that God exists, silly atheists!"

"We don't know how the biblical figures had children."

Well you can't be expected to know EVERYTHING.

[AtheistsAreSkeptics]

Just say the word, "INCEST!", say it damn you. Tell them "Cain fucked his own sister!"

[freakystyley4000]

Wow, what a great non-answer. And what a shitty apologetic.

[Hereticbooks]

This is such a common and often asked question, you'd think the retard would be ready for it.

[CrankyTiger]

Apparently the father forgot that the bible says that cain was sent out and he found "others" where he knew his wife and beget more kids. So there were others and these others, according to the bible were not god's children. Therefore what he was doing was forgetting not only the bible, but that it is one of those spots in the bible that could be considered evidence that "god" did not create all humanity. why do non-christians know more about their mythology then they do?

[zeldaofarel]

@CrankyTiger So true! I see that all the time. If the Christian god is a jealous one, then according to logic there should be other gods to be jealous of.

[Pulpgimp]

Answer : INCEST!!! Sweet, sweet, godly incest.

[RockAustinDXtakerRk0]

Somebody throw a brick at this buffoon.

[richardathome65]

Ooh, evasion tactics. Didn't work, mind you...

[ourworld287]

He failed as soon as he opened his mouth

[TheAvengingAtheist]

Even the FOXNews people thought this priest was evading the question. The honest answer would have been to say that their was no Adam and Eve at all,

[TheNottinghamLad]

Good selection of videos by the way ;)

[TheNottinghamLad]

So what we need to do father is: Throw any facts away, toss out any form of reasonable logic. At this point facts and reason take a back seat and then you want to try and get something out of it for people to LEARN from!

So I would ask him, father is that just not a fancy way of saying we dont know?? But please please, no facts! Cant we just take something good out of it and carry on up the khyber.

Sorry, father no free pass from facts is right even in the way you meant. Flawed at birth.

[Bigal155]

Can't believe it's taken me 3 attempts to get this right...neil degrasse tyson*

[Bigal155]

Look at the vid called neil degrasse destroys bill o'reilly...fantastic!

[Bigal155]

Have a look at the video entitled 'Neil DeGrasse Destroys Bill O'Reilly'...tide comes in...

[AscendingParadigm]

incest

[JorWat25]

I'm impressed. He managed to go from misunderstanding the question (How did Adam and Eve have children?), to admitting he doesn't know, to changing the question (Did Adam have a belly button?) to saying it doesn't matter how it happened, all that's important is that it did happen.

I love that by the end, even the hosts admit he is avoiding the question.

[dwk0003]

I'm an atheist and even I know that the Bible mentions that Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters! This guy's a joke!

[Willam2]

What we DO know is that... Christians really, really want to believe that these myths are true, no matter how ridiculous they might be.

I'm not sure that even Catholics believe in Adam and Eve - as anything but a metaphor - but he didn't want to admit that on Fox! And really, they'll believe anything as long as it gets more people in the church. If gullible people want to believe it, the church will be there for them - assuming they keep that collection plate full.

[KingPiccolo001]

the great thing is that Fox calls him on avoiding the question

[chinamanspeakenlis]

first he dishonestly tried to dodge the question " i didnt get it, how adam n eve had kids"..srsly?? he dumber than G bush if he didnt get the question. it was pretty straight forward bu then he's a religious nut.

[dwolfcoach]

I have a better question. Why do we dignify this bullshit as informative? "Adam and Eve decided to go against god..." blah, blah, blah! Which God did they decide to go against? The same one that annihilated people w/o regard to guilt or innocence? Yup, that one! And why would he makes hungry and tell us not to eat a freaking apple? What bullshit!

Keep your religious delusions to yourself.

[skarloeyable]

Thought Catholics weren't creationists?

[OWC2000]

I think the Pope does a face-palm every time this idiot opens his mouth.

[alphacause]

If one is going to take the Biblical creation story seriously and literally, then every Christian literalist must ask how it is possible to have all of humanity stem from one pair of human beings without a lot of inbreeding, and therefore rampant congenital defects?

[CookieWalka]

@alphacause well people are pretty retarded

[thevideovan]

@alphacause are you doubting the words of god... thou shalt not pass the pearly gates

[PooeyBum11]

@alphacause imbreeding isnt really a good arguement against christianity. there have been studies that show that after a couple generations of inbreeding, the defects that are usually passed with inbreeding are eliminated through natural selection. Aditionaly, a christian would say that adam and eve were perfect and had no bad mutations to pass on. So inbreeding wouldnt be a problem. I am an atheist too just saying there is no need to use arguements like this when there are so many good ones.

[JapaneseStudentSan]

@alphacause The apologist answer to this is that our genes were once too perfect for inbreeding to be a problem. After the fruit was eaten, they gradually became more corrupt as time whent on, and it was only around the time of Moses(when the biblical laws against inbreeding were supposedly introduced) that inbreeding started to produce retarded children. In other words: Something that isn't supported by any observable evidence but which fits nicely with their pre-conceptions.

[OmegaCause]

@alphacause Simple. God did it.

[ChristopherHitchslap]

Check Mate!

[alphacause]

How did Cain or Abel have kids? Simple. They didn't because the story is MADE UP! This is like asking what biochemical process allows Superman to have superhuman strength from the sun. Just make up an answer. Any answer will do. Because the entire thing is just fictional anyway.

[chinamanspeakenlis]

@alphacause u r my superman after this comment.. :D

[fallbread]

It just amazes me that grown people still belive this bullshit is true

[morg52]

Cain killed his brother and had children with a sister.

[Mehargildargil]

Cain and Able had children via the wonderful process of mitosis

[ThatBritishGenius]

Okay, so if every person came from Adam and Eve. Then we're all Incest? Great news. Oh no wait, we Evolved....

[LongLiveTheBlues]

why do people of faith just babble so much, honestly i struggle too understand a word, just words that make no sense coming out his mouth.

[Ama7aa]

Epic fail ! lol

[calmreason]

The did Adam have a belly button is because it's only needed pre birth. Adam "was" created as an adult.

[civwarfan]

He's so completely FULL OF SHIT!

Look at the clueless ass face son!!

[nedladdy]

That was something he had never thought about before? Dissembling bastard.

cheers

[PhRiZoN]

It'll only take time, eventually (and I hope) humanity will cease to believe in such idiotic beliefs. The slendor of our universe will only increase as our understanding does, while religion will be left in the bronze age. Religion has nothing else to do but cling on to our society, yet people continue believing it.

[paulchartley]

The question wasn't about belly buttons.

The answer he is looking for is a simple one word answer and the word is incest.

If he admits that the answer had to involve incest then he has to explain why incest was OK then but bad now.

Its that or admit that Gen 2 contradicts Gen 1 and that Adam wasn't the first man.

What he did admit was that Father knows Fuck all and that he could be wrong.

Confusion about the facts in his book is a win for rationality in my book.

[xynth101088]

I love how he knows he isn't answering the question while he is trying to change the subject. Like a bad magician telling people to not look at his hand while he hides the rabbit in his hat.

[panniize]

this is so stupid i'm amazed. the discussion i mean. 'did adam have a belly button' -_-

[Funaru]

This illustrates perfectly why Biblical literalism fails on all levels. 

[Voidsworn]

"The fact is that, you know, we don't know exactly how things happened...", then redirect.

But "father", you claim that this Book states how/why/when/etc things exactly happen, at least, the important things. Since God was to have said "be fruitful and multiply", reproduction IS an important thing. This I find amusing giving the fact that humans can reproduce often when it is not ideal for them to do so (adolescence) or sometime are "naturally" barren, which seems to be a rescinding...

[brunodemoura]

"This is a Serious Biblical Question..." HAHAHAHAH!!!!

[Mutumaniac]

btw: why the fuck people call priests "father" and nuns "sister"?

[juddylovespizza]

There is no answer because the whole of genesis - heck even the bible - is a bogus, contradicting fictitious book.

[LucyLabrador1]

Insest... :D

[2Addicted2YT]

Fuck maybe christianity is right. Adam and Eve fucked had Cain and Abel and now we are all decendants of some serious incest hence the retardation spouted off in this clip.

I guess if God could do it again he would have had a few more Adams and Eves.

[XchristianHeathen]

I've actually heard some fundamentalist christians say that god approved of incest for a period of time. That he knew starting with two people that sex with family members would have to occur. Its obvious what the situation implies. Same thing with the tale of the ark and Noahs flood. There was just 8 people on that boat. All family members, and they supposed to populate the earth. Sounds like an incest party to me. The fairy tales in the bible are just wonderful for children.

[Darwinsgift]

Without checking, I seem to remember that Adam & Eve had about 9-11 children but it was only Cain & Able that were remembered.

[paulchartley]

@Darwinsgift Which ever way you slice it, no matter how many kids Adam and Eve had, they are still keeping it in the family.

[rextrek]

Father GayFace - spill it a-hole - its all a LIE!

[rextrek]

INCEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mommy did son

[aaqucnaona94]

Father should own up and show some balls, after all, he had got his cosmic superdad behing his back, no?

I love that popemobile weapon proof glass pic with the words - "The bullets are real, you god is not" or "Nothing says like 'I trust you god' like 3 inches of bulletproof glass".

[darbone]

quick, misdirect, let's talk about belly buttons. What was the question?

[r4d3rz]

It's amusing to watch them squirm, isn't it?

[HowlsFury]

Priest: " the Fact is we don't know what happened" i could have accepted that, that was an honest answer until......"But here is what we do know, A&E pissed off god for eating an apple and doing it doggies style which has nothing to do with your question but should make you believe in my UNLIMITED POWWWAHH, search your feelings, your hate, your anger use it to fuel your willful ignorance" well some thing like that...

[BggProductions]

Typical theist response to a question that has no reasonable answer: avoid the question and talk about something else. He should consider a career in politics.

[bermudaguy1]

We knew that all along! Duh!!

[JayMeHD]

It makes me uncomfortable to watch him try and answer the question. It's so ridiculous that so many people believe in this stuff still.

[ComAntNeLib]

letrs see they claim the bible is true ye tthey aois an important question wich actually says the bible makes no sense

[Paperinjerate]

Just answer the damn question father Fuckwitt

[CuriousMoth]

I like how they start on ripping the sender's spelling, then when they actually consider what the question was they don't have an answer. So they know how to spell 'whom' rather than 'who', they just don't know anything remotely useful.

[rafalbielec]

It's not funny that it's all based on fables and myths, and there is no logical explanation apart from the limited understanding of the world of the people at the time.

[djalessandromagno]

Is he playing stupid to dodge the question or he really IS that stupid!? Humm, tough one!

[FormulaWill]

We can learn that you are full of shit. We can learn that even the most simple questions and critiques iluminates the delusion that is Christianity. 

[aqouby]

I think everyone was looking for the word "INCEST"

Remember folks, there was a flood that wiped out all of those people anyway except Noah and his family... "Take INCEST scene number 2! Action!!"

[rangeownz1993]

@aqouby well i guess we're all retarded. lmfao
