State Board Of Education 'Infiltrated' By Creationists

[xBLOODBAFx]

i have schizophrenia. i saw and heard things and disembodied voices... yet i still rejected religious faith fantasy. if i can do et anybody can. Faith... just say no!

[SqueakerAlpha]

Some reports say McLeroy has been replaced already with Gail Lowe who is also a creationist, and possibly much worse than McLeroy was. Not a bif step forward for science in texas schools.

[ISLAM4THICKONES]

Young earth creationists should have their qualifications as teachers removed.

[reluctantlydancing]

Depending on what they're teaching really. I dont give a hoot if my gym teacher or my health teacher think with world is 6000 years old.

But a Science teacher? Holy crap.

A History Teacher? Yikes.

[ryanyhuang]

@reluctantlydancing you should care, they are still propagating ignorance

[mystic81006]

@ISLAM4THICKONES As old world thinkers should also have there qualifucations removed,school is not for the belifes of how old the world is or if there is a god or not.school should only be for learning how to read an right and or to understand math.So the argument goes bolth ways.

[robvlob]

@mystic81006 There's a difference between an unsubstantiated claim & science that is demonstrable.

Does creationism have a testable repeatable way to test the age of earth? NO! It just has an antiquated book of fables wrote by bronze age desert nomads that's it

Does science have a testable repeatable way to test the age of earth? YES.

Religion does nothing for science it for the most part has been a determent to science.

[mystic81006]

@robvlob Y3es, writen by desert nomads that not only spoke better then us but also knew more then we know now about writing.Does science have a testable repeatable way to test the age of earth? No.If you get one report that is off they all are off by the same science.Its funny to me how men like you can have so much faith in man and his iventions that are faulty but Have no faith in the things we can not see.

[mystic81006]

its amazing How people follow people that lie and have everyhting to gain with money or fame,And people like you eat it up as if they are gods and they know for a fact there machines trully know for a fact how old the earth is.Its funny to me you belive there is any such machine that can trully test the earths age,this to me is fairy tail.you see My true God as a fairy tail but in all truth your faulty man made machines are fairy tails all the same and as a programer I can prove it.

[robvlob]

@mystic81006 Wow really a machine? Just when I thought the willful ignorance couldn't any more absurd.

[robocong7420]

@mystic81006

the man made computer and man made internet you used to post this dumb ass message is a fairy-tale

[robocong7420]

@mystic81006

school should be for learning how to read and write, but your dumb ass learned neither

[mystic81006]

@robocong7420 That made alot of sence,NOT!!

[carmium]

@mystic81006 No, I have to agree with robocong.

[ctressle]

I love these videos. But is there any way to increase the volume BEFORE uploading it to youtube, so that their volume is the same as most other videos?

[artyfarty2]

Good point, whenever I switch onto another video my ears are nearly blown off.

[artyfarty2]

What was the intro music?

[AsG1989]

rush, badass prog rock band

[artyfarty2]

I thought it was. I have most of their stuff but I don't have this (I don't think). Do you know which album and song title?

[AsG1989]

no sorry xD

[artyfarty2]

Ah, just watched the vid again. The song title appears at the beginning. 'Faithless', of course, since Neil Peart is at least an agnostic, probably atheist.

[AsG1989]

neil peart is the man. I heard he drives his motorcycle around the world and when he gets back home. He writes music about where he went!

[artyfarty2]

Sadly he's nothing like the player he used to be, largely due to the loss of his wife and daughter. I think he has since remarried, but the whole experience has taken something out of him. I saw them on the R30 tour. Alex was on fire but Neil and Geddy were quite ropey.

[gorilla199uncensored]

"I bet u don't put up any shows that prove the Christian reality"

LOL thats because they dont exist!

If they did the makers would be winning the Nobel Prize this year!

Let me know when they get a Nobel prize! LOL

[Kungfuish]

Yes, they do exist. Every preacher that says "gOd exists because I feel it in my heart" ... bad science anyway.

[PaineLover]

"you get young believers who are not matured in the faith and u try to cream them with twisting the truth!"

LMAO! You have any idea what irony means? Naw, don't think so. Christianity is all about getting the little ones whose brains are still forming, then "cream" ,er, brainwashing them with TWISTED dogma from the holy babble.

[tommyk77]

Yeah! Rush are the best band from Canada ever!

[AEgamesFtw]

Rush can't be the best band from Canada ever.

Because Propagandhi are (Hardcore punk rock).

[itorturefrogs]

Scientists have seem to have lost their purpose the purpose of science is the search for truth you have not found truth youve settled your beliefs on a theory that has many logical errors as does creationism, perhaps neither is right, perhaps there is a whole other explanation that we have yet to discover and perhaps never will because we're all too damn ignorant.

[tommyk77]

No, evolution is right. You have to be dumb to reject it.

I didn't want to believe it at first, but you must be guided by evidence, not propaganda

[windyshrimp]

I am sorry but you are just wrong. The truth is, is that creationism cannot be proven while evolution can be. We know evolution to be true because things to evolve to change over time, unless you want to change the definition of evolution. The only reason to reject evolution is because of religious dogma. Why reject evolution and not the theory of gravity. They are both theories supported by the best we know of our knowledge. There is no "science conspiracy".

[787Bisurdaddy]

"you have not found truth youve settled your beliefs on a theory that has many logical errors as does creationism"

That's not true about evolution, but it is true about creationism.

"perhaps neither is right, perhaps there is a whole other explanation that we have yet to discover and perhaps never will because we're all too damn ignorant."

So I guess we should all just give up, right? Cause we're just too darn dumb. :( Sounds like a great idea, let's wallow in ignorance.

[itorturefrogs]

perhaps people dont want to be ignorant, I know I dont want to be. I want to know the truth, I want to know more that either side can tell me. Though I am funamentally a christian I have many doubts, but that does not mean what I believe is wrong. Perhaps its because all I hear in school is evolutionist propaganda yes propaganda give me as much flak as you want for saying so but its the truth. You talk about atheism as if its a fact, and thats a lie its a complete lie it has not been proven.

[PaineLover]

atheism IS a fact. Millions do not believe in ANY gods. You lack belief in gods, that makes you an atheist. You say evolution is propaganda? That's sweet irony, seeing as how the whole world wide world of science and scientists all concur that it occurs. You need to study some real science and BIOLOGY courses. Ignorance is not a virtue, itorturefrogs.

[artyfarty2]

It does seem that the great conspiracies of the world are perpetrated in the belief that the executors are the victims of some great conspiracy. E.g. the Iraq invasion (WMDs), the Nazi holocaust, 911 attacks.

[itorturefrogs]

So? your belief, yes belief as evolution as belief same as creationism, thats one little win in our column vs. an extreme majority of anti-creationism, why should I be forced to learn a theory, when their is a whole other side, a whole other theology of how we came to be, one of them is right, but neither you or anny preacher has the ability to prove it no matter how many facts either of the two pull out of their trousers.

[PaineLover]

You're woefully ignorant. First you claim "evolution is propaganda" and then say it is the same as creationism. Priceless. Sorry, you have no idea what a SCIENTIFIC theory is. IF you can prove the theory of evolution wrong, you'd get INSTANT recognition, fame, money, and a freaking NOBEL Prize. oops, sorry, you fail. The "theory" of God-Did-It ain't gonna get ya anywhere either.

[tdarnold]

Hi my name is FreeThinker. I waste my few years tryng debunk other good people's religion. Ironically I am a preacher of sorts. I will never accomplish my goals or influence anyone because I know people make choice based on their own search for the truth. But I don't care. I am very very bored and a little obsessed.

[Redbeardian]

He probably even goes around convincing small children that they will suffer eternal damnation if they misbehave! And that sickness and disease is punishment for sin! *shakes fist*!

[accersitusmaximus]

You don't need religion to find inner strength. Do not be misled by those whom preach your worthlessness for not being dependant on God. One day, a failed prayers could end in disaster.

Think rationally. Act rationally.

[DisruptedUniformity]

In 2005, the Tulsa Zoo announced that it would put up a creationism exhibit. There was a immediate outcry and the Zoo changed its mind within a month. I was surprised that an outcry of this magnitude could happen this deep in the bible belt. But it did. Good things can happen if we stand up.

[Itslvle]

Yes, it would be wrong to exhibit creationists in a zoo. It would disturb the other animals.

[2bsirius]

Scary but informative video. I subbed...THANKS for posting this.

[allmightydouche]

I love this show, but the guy in this vid, Martin Wagner, is VERY annoying...he seems to think the show is all about him. He should let the other people he appears with talk for once.

[Rahab111222]

Saying these Intelligent Design crooks are dumb as a sack of hammers is an insult to sacks of hammers. You must take that statement back.

[eluminated]

Saying the intelligent design people are dumb crooks is an insult to crooks and dumb people everywhere! You need to take YOUR statement back!

[accersitusmaximus]

When a human being is incapable of accepting or dealing with reality, then psychological illness develops. As a result, a mental defense mechanism creates a fictional concept of reality. Religion is an unhealthy irrational view of reality, and should be rejected for the improvement of mankind.

Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires.

- Sigmund Freud

[paxtonhume]

I entirely agree, refreshing to read your comments. I'm so sick of christian fundamentalist. The answer "God" can only satisfy us if we suspend our drive for understanding at that point. And there is no logical reason for doing so.

[blaziermissy]

I agree with you, but how can you get rid of an unhealthy part of society like religion when it is politically advocated and funded?

[accersitusmaximus]

Never stop revealing the truth, and help people that are stuck.

Most Christians are hypocrites for they preach the Bible but do not live by it. If they did, they would be judged by modern moral standards. May it be sexual harassment or murder, they would be no better then a serial killer striving to purge evil amongst us by doing Gods work. The true interpreters of the Bible.

[accersitusmaximus]

There was no actual person named Jesus. Several characters were rolled into one mythic being inspired by the deities Mithras, Heracles, Dionysus and many others of the Roman Empire.

There are numerous historians who lived in and around the Mediterranean either during or soon after the assumed life of Jesus. How many of these historians document this figure?

Not one.

[accersitusmaximus]

Look up Philo(20 BC - 50 AD), who actually lived in Jerusalem during the era of Christ's supposed birth and death. He wrote a reputable history of the Jews in his time but makes not a single reference to Jesus Christ in any way. This is striking evidence of Jesus Christ's conjured mythological nature. You would think that a guy who rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven for all eyes to see and performed the wealth of miracles acclaimed to him would have made it into the historical record.

[eluminated]

Shows what you know accersitusmaximus! Everybody knows that Philos DID write about Jesus but then the Devil tricked him into ripping those particular pages out of his book! And then he tricked him into feeding them to a dinosaur even though he knew it would make baby Jesus cry! You HAVE heard of the Papereatasaurus HAVEN'T you!? Those were the ones who gave Moses the most trouble on the ark because they kept eating all the nautical maps! Not to mention what they did to god's diary!

[accersitusmaximus]

What a joker. The most common escape route when real arguments run out. It's a psychological state called regression.

[eluminated]

huh? lol... dude, my comment was TOTAL sarcasm! I ask you to read it again all the way thru. Hopefully you'll get a chuckle this time.

[accersitusmaximus]

Funny. Not everybody have your level of integrity. Joke all you want but people in general are weak willed and easy to manipulate.

[eluminated]

I totally agree. But I figure since the virus of religion seems to be resistant to any cure from evidence and logic, we can at least have a laugh at their expense now and then while the battle rages.

[accersitusmaximus]

Why not, that make sense :) Laugh at the poor bastards whom are wasting their lives in hope for a better one when they die. It's almost too bad they won't be able to realize their mistake, ever.. unless they start thinking rationally on their death bed. Imagine the horrific feeling of such a sinister awakening.

[accersitusmaximus]

Christianity, along with all other theistic belief systems, is the fraud of the age. It serves to detach the species from the natural world, and likewise, each other. It supports "blind submission to authority". It reduces human responsibility to the effect that "God controls everything", and in turn "awful crimes can be justified" in the name of Divine Pursuit.

[nomercyrules10]

This is nice and all but who the fuck are these uncharismatic people?

It's so awkward watching them in the beginning. Seriously.

[chris3443]

Get past the medium, it's the content that is important.

[MagnusIan]

Throw out science that doesn't involve Jesus?

Sooooooooooo, no more science then?

[CommaPatient]

Its creepy how much of ancient civilisations character from the bible is still being practised in the middle east...

They really are all part of the Abrahamic belief!

[WTFDauntless]

Wheres matt :(

[rikestard]

we are devils in the minds of christians:)

[DCLXVl]

why is the audio always so low on ur atheist experience vids?? :(

[KittyGotSued]

agreed, at least normalize it. if you have a mac, use snapper for that, really easy to use and can edit audio in movies.

[willpoire]

This should be a nationally televised broadcast. I hate watching it on only the internet.

[deliciousonionsoup]

Well, yeh, computers suck but so too does the proliferation of tv channels to me.

[Noahboah234]

@willpoire This should be an internationally televised broadcast. I hate watching it only on the internet as well :)

[MrMetal616]

cool
