Atheist Deconversion Part 1

[earthangelrojanie]

i love your tshirt ^^

[earthangelrojanie]

gratz brother in reason welcome to reality ^^ if u stand in atheism view of the world uwill see how much damage and think of the way how can we restore not only the backward religous view of majority of humanity but ofcourse and its effect in our environment, personal life, politics and people's mindsettings :) cheers

[flyingscience]

That Fiction shirt (made from religious symbols ) is awesome .Tell me who makes that I want to buy one !!

[POC777]

By studying a failing theory and its icons, for example, Miller's experiment that turns out it was nothing but embalming fluid.

[POC777]

Full of gaps...period!

[TheReptilianAgenda]

@rebecalingan you know Cthulhu loves you either way dude you have felt him, you see him you hear him... you do know that

[AAL]

I've been where you are. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Kudos!

[POC777]

Its strange to me the majority of people who were once Christian choose Evolution to explain this world than the Bible.

My question to any evolutionist: Is there any evidence, anything, one thing, that Evolution is true?

I don't have enough faith to be an atheist!

[Captain42x]

"Is there any evidence, anything, one thing, that Evolution is true?"

Sure. There are transitional fossils, unity in genetic codes, nearly identical body plan layout between large mammal species, 99% DNA similarity with Chimpanzees ...

You could read a biology book.

[POC777]

I love studying about science and there's absolutely scientific about evolution. Many scientists are dissenting from Darwinism. There's nothing to prove we came from an amoeba that evolved into an intelligent human being.

Are we evolving wings?

[POC777]

The fossil record of millions of years has been "owned" by the Cambrian Explosion that occur 540 millions years ago.

Where did the strange creatures came from? Certainly, did not evolve from other mammals.

The Biological Big Bang has refuted Evolution!

Every animal has DNA and is similar to humans. They've red blood it doesn't prove anything about Evolution.

Charles Darwin said that if anything could refute his theory---and that is the 'Biological Big Bang'.

[Captain42x]

Uh POC, the strange creatures did not evolve from mammals. If I remember correctly, they were mostly fish, reptiles, and amphibians, that evolved from prior ancestors.

[POC777]

Evolved? There are no transitional forms!

[happyhappy85]

there are plenty of "transitional forms"

[POC777]

@happyhappy85

Name one!

[danielyeh]

@POC777

you don't even understand what the cambrian explosion is. shut up.

[POC777]

Why shut me up because I am telling you the truth?

[Captain42x]

Lol POC, I studied the Cambrian Explosion all the way back in AP Biology in High School. You are not a scientist - go purchase a biology textbook (one that talks about evolution) and observe the nice colored photographs of transitional fossils.

In fact, my Teacher even brought a replica of one to class - an Archaeopterix that has feathers like a bird and a long, bony dinosaur/lizard tail.

Go ahead, do a Google search. Find out how wrong you are.

[POC777]

Archaeopterix half bird half reptile?? The next icon in Evolution. Not quite because it was nothing more than a 'turkey sandwich' found during an excavation. The prehistorical 'bird' is NOT the ancestor of today's reptiles and birds but simply a bird.

Paleontologist agreed "Archaepteryx" is NOT an ancestor of a modern bird but from an extinct group of birds.

The replica turns out to be a fake!!!

The tail was glued to the bird to make a case for Evolution.

[POC777]

We also have the archaeoraptor and the bambiraptor which are an embrassment to the theory of Evolution including everyone who believe in those fakes.

If you didn't know this but there's a factory in China that manufacture 'fossils' for museums--in order to make BIG MONEY.

There are weird looking creatures like the duck-bill platyplus but is NOT a transitional form from a dino is it?

[danielyeh]

@POC777

maybe you should do some research then. after you type in evidence for evolution then come back with your objections. but don't just sit there saying "is there any evidence?"

the problem is you are not truly interested in truth. you're only interested in satisfying your own preconcieved truths. you won't actively go seek out MOUNTAINS of evidence because you DON'T CARE.

[POC777]

I have studied Evolution and there is nothing in this theory or fact(whatever you want to call it) that is truth.

There was never a soup!!!

[danielyeh]

@POC777 ur comment just expalained to me you know absolutely nothing good night.

[POC777]

And no comment for you has explained why Evolution is absolute truth.

[styrofoamheart]

there is nothing more sacred than hard evidence.

[aliasclapton]

I'm so proud of you JD, it must have been horrible to grow up with such narrowminded and ignorant parents. Well done, now come and get your millstone!

[DrixDZanth]

Hi dad. I've never thought you were narrowminded or ignorant. I actually watched this video about 5 or 6 times to see if I imply what you suggest I do. You just did what you thought was right for me, what you believed was true. I couldn't have asked for better parents... and I've told you this.

So, I wear a millstone with the word "TRUTH" written into it; it's heavy, but I gladly bear the burden.

[friendlydiplomat]

Is 'aliasclapton' your dad??

[stevebritgimp]

It's interesting how many Youtube atheists, and the best ones, are people who've taken the step from footsoldier to apologist in religion, and then found themselves coming out the other side because the arguments didn't add up. It really is true that religion only flourishes if people don't think about it too much. That said, it sounds like this was a long process for you - this is a cliffhanger. On to part 2...

[friendlydiplomat]

Ummm...no. I am still a theist and I've thought very critically about many a thing :) Also, what about guys like 'veritas48' among many others??

[agentorange20]

Just wait till a person is about 16-18 years of age & can think critically. Let them read the bible or any other 'holly book' & have them think about it objectively & to think critically of specifics page by page.

If they make it all the way through, then yeah, they sure have some gullibility..... I mean faith.

[thescaryworker]

Great introduction. This feels a lot like my deconversion.

[AlmightScoop]

"It's natural too so thats advantageous"

Did you just commit the appeal to nature fallacy?

[DrixDZanth]

Haha almost :).

The appeal to nature or naturalistic fallacy (I'm correct by this right?) is the assertion that "because it's natural it is good", right?

Well, I think the difference between "good" as addressed by the fallacy and "good" in the sense that I meant the natural contents of "Izze" are different. The fallacy refers to an ethical "good", e.g. "Apes commit incest, ancient man commited incest, therefor incest is morally permissible."

The "Good" I used was synonymous with "healthy" :)

[DrixDZanth]

Now, before you think I'm crazy... i KNOW your comment was rhetorical :P. I just couldn't resist!

Time to take a test!

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

"I just couldn't resist!"

Neither could I. It must be catchy.

[IsaacBickerstaffEsq]

"The "Good" I used was synonymous with "healthy""

Now all you have to do to escape the naturalistic fallacy is to demonstrate that natural implies healthy. :)

Care to share a quart of cyacnide laced Methanol?

[generaleskimo]

Wow, it seems you've read the treasure trove of terrible creationist lies!

[ndjarnag]

great vid. enjoy the beverage.

[vbfl920]

i KILL izzes so bad. its soda thats ACTUALLY good for you.

[ProfMTH]

"And it's all natural, too. So that's advantageous."

LOL!

[DrixDZanth]

:)Don't let my videos undercut just how good this Izze tastes!

[ProfMTH]

It's one of my partner's favorite beverages.

[DrixDZanth]

Seeing as sex sells, my best friend (in his rapture-like reverence for the beverage) suggested this ad-phrase:

Izzy: It makes your dreams wet!

Crude and catchy!

[bdf2718]

A couple of bottles of wine does that for me. But that's because I'm old and my bladder is weak. :)

[DrixDZanth]

I have been reading your story. I must say, I'm flattered that you hosted mine. My account on youtube is off the cuff and primarily directed at giving people a little background. Yours, on the other hand, is a much more thorough discourse.

I return the endorsement to anyone who watches my video: check this guy's site out!

[philstilwell]

I like you're humble attitude. At philstilwellDOTcom you can find my deconversion story.
