Creationists remind me of a child throwing a temper tantrum. Foot stomping and screaming along with plugging their ears. Well, I've evolved beyond God and the need to justify it to stagnant people.
In Voltaire's Micromegas, a 17th Century guy known as Reverend William Derham once stated that nebulae are "openings in the firmament through which the fiery Empyrean is seen" and another guy known as St Thomas Aquinas maintained that the universe and everything were made by god solely for man's benefit. As far as it is concerned, arrogantly saying the heavens declare the glory of GOD for men is as much as declaring oneself as a complete idiot. You insult God on your way as well.
,since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
@GaryFL1 Yes they do, how arrogant for some people to say 'they've proven there is no creator'. There is soooo much science still doesnt know, and wont admit they don't know. Yet they still have the b@lls to bash creationism with their very small knowledge. I dont buy it, and nothing they can say or do will make me buy the lie. Something doesnt come from nothing. Thats a fact. If i wake up in the morning and there is a 747 in my backyard, someone or something made it, it didnt just 'poof'!
I've always found the "What are the odds?" arguments to be ridiculous. Even in situations where the odds really are as astronomical as creationists claim, the universe is too large for us to even fathom. It doesn't seem like such a stretch to assume a few places would meet those astronomical odds. It's extremely unlikely to win the lottery. Does that mean no one does?
The world is beautiful, the hold universe is amazing, and I can understand why some people think that it was designed by a designer. However - what makes them think that this designer is a homophobic, blood thirsty, unjust God? :S
When a scientist has an insight, like "maybe this was part of the prelude to the Flood", it's accompianied with an irresistible itch to test that insight, not just an itch to broadcast to the world that you've Just Figured It Out. Scientists have the GUTS to test despite knowing that most results are null.
Hovind! You're hypothesizing! Like it or not, you've made a hypothesis! You're ALMOST THERE…
"unless it's where the rocks flipped over, when the fountains of the deep broke open; that may have happened in some areas"
THEN SHOW SOME FUCKING CURIOSITY AND FIND OUT!
Really, that's what gets me most about these folks. They think that science is the process of coming up with science-y answers, not a constant cycle of good questions followed by really good answers followed by really great questions, etc.
@HybridD91 Yeah it's like they're trolling... only not. I see PCS's face and I feel slightly frightened by the look on his face. It's like an ax murderer planning his next move.
If that guy represents a continuing trend in creationist norm... creationist kids may turn up to be ax muderers?
Lol I'm just messin'.
Creationists don't present scientific sources because they have none.
All they can do is try and find errors in current theories, and ask disproportionate questions about said errors.
When you think about it, our brains function with electricity (nervous system). We are alive (or should I rather say "We feel that we are alive") because of that activity. And there's activity all over the place in the Universe ! Ain't that life in its own way, too ?
@Quartrez Curiously enough fire has most of the charistics of life. Carbon based, reproduces, consumes oxygen, exothermic. Let's ignore the fact that it can arise spontaniously.
So, solar eclipses occurring has to do with the angle of rotation? That's why it happens on Jupiter more, because it's only tipped a few degrees over, right?
What - the -F***. I do not want to start an argument, but i really recommend you read Stephan Hawkins before you comment on this god dammit youtube Page!! You can't put God in as an explanation wherever science had not discover. we have to discover it ourselves through scientific methods, not resort to 2000 years old scrptures for answers.
So, for there to be a meaning or purpose for our individual existence, or the universe as a whole, there must be randomness and unpreordained evolution. But if God is in control of, evolution, life, us, stars, computer game outcomes like some game of billiards he totally controls, the results again become preordained and meaningless. God's big toy? But where can we see or measure the randomness happening in cause and effect. Is God = Quantum physics. Is randomness totally random? Entropy = 1?
To me there is an outstanding question about exitence.
Choice? Free Will? Evolution?
They all mean the same thing.
If every atomic and subatomic action & reaction takes place per the laws of physics to an assumed absolute precision, then the universe and life and stars evolve, but they follow a precise preordanded course. And if from start to end the universe is preordained then it matters nought, has no meaning and may as well not have existed.
just did the calculation that apparently venom didn't. even giving him 5 instead of 4.3 it only 7.0956*10^17 tons of mass lost over 4.5 billion years.
mass of the sun = 2.19240901*10^27 meaning that his calculation would say that 4.5 billion years ago the sun had 1/3089814828 more mass than it dose today. or 100.00000003% of it's current mass.

the moon is 1/400th the DIAMETER of the sun, not the size YOU IDIOT. The sun is 1.3 million times the size of the earth, but only 400 times the size of he moon, WTF?
The sun is around 60 million times the size of the moon. I hear this 400 crap all of the time.
I know, but carbon dating is accurate up to about 20,000 years. If the object is any older(or the math doesn't add up), then different forms of dating are used.
How so? Unless you can find another method of dating used for 20,000 years and under, then I'm just going to assume that PCS used the supposed carbon dating(which he most likely got from an apologetic site) to date the age.
Sorry If it sounded like that, but I meant that carbon dating is used for objects up to 20,000 years(clearly, because that is when its most accurate). After 20,000 years, other dating methods are used. PCS said that the world was 4,400 years old, falling well in with carbon dating.
I meant the oldest tree and such. I know all the dating methods have dated it to be that old, I'm just pointing out that venomfangx is a brain dead moron.
You said yourself that "carbon dating is accurate up to about 20,000 years. If the object is any older(or the math doesn't add up), then different forms of dating are used".
Unless I am missing the point in what you are saying you are saying there are other dating methods, but there aren't.
Meteorites are dated using the number of holes punched in them by high energy particles and/or cosmic rays and counting the number in a square millimetre in a given slice.
One I bought my mother is the oldest thing on Earth you can hold in your hand, it's as old as the sun... she loved it! Some may go back to the solar system that was here before the present one...
CarbonDating is reliable & it works & works well as do the several dozen other dating methods science relies on!
i cant believe people can be so stupid. It never stops amazing me...
I can even stand the brain-washed-from-birth people with poor acess to full education.
But these guys that put on a suit and try to give logic arguments, reliyng on bad jokes and falacies, man, these guys are just too stupid to be true. I cant beilieve that THEY exist. They themselves are an argument against god: if god created men he would not create such people, at least if god has a litle bit of competence...
Actually I thought that was off when i first heard it but its roughly true. The earth is roughly 1/100 the size of the sun (jupiter's 1/10) and the moon is 1/4 the size of the earth.
Yeah, I asked AW about it. The ratio of the Moon's diameter to the Sun's diameter is roughly 1:400. If he had been talking about volume, he would have been off by a factor of about 64 million (Kent Hovind, anyone? :P)
dude i love your shit. the way you express yourself is just brilliant. i take my hat off to you for explaining how fucking dumb and impertinent some of these creationists are.
You need to think more right-brain while watching the Zeitgeist to fully understand it. Jesus is the Sun? We are all energy, like a pyramid of energy. Sun would be really high consciousness, like the ion of our solar system. Of course, the left-brain doesn't think this way, and is deceived by it's perception.
Darwin, My Life and Letters Vol. 1, page 210, admits, "Not one change of species into another is on record. We cannot prove that a single species has changed.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,but by me that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord SHAL BE SAVED
Fine, all "things" point to a supposed God's glory. But traditional theology, that god is everywhere does not necessarily clash with the theory of evolution any more than any other scientific theory. So we can all agree that, if there is a single god, and he is a he, then he works in mysterious ways. Though an awful lot has been discovered which illuminates his glory. Eg: Evolution.
In nature there are no good & bad creatures. Or as American's like to put it, simplistically, goodies & baddies. So it could be said humans are also just animals & some are, as they say, born, or I might say, hell bent on being EVIL. So I say, there but for the grace of God go I (the Evil me). But if 99.999% can not be saints by birth, can it be said we have no choice? So 99.99% of our sinful choices are in fact not choices but are actions foisted on us by our genes = your idea of GOD's WILL?
We are discussing a scientific theory:....evolution.
If you want to comment on evolution you need to use scientific language. "KINDS" is not scientific. I am assuming you are saying a "kind" is a species????
jesus is a corncob, the solar system is broccoli, the pyramid of energy is Bill Gates' left nad and everyone's left -brain has gone to Honolulu with that redhead from the Account's Dept!
Just figured I'd let you know I stumbled upon one of your videos earlier tonight and I've just continued watching them...very interesting stuff. I'm in college right now and I think I'm going to head down the astrophysics path in life. And although I don't know anywhere near as much as it would seem you do, hopefully in a few years I'll be able to beat down bad science right along with yu.
All scientific knowledge is comprised in theories. Atoms are a theory, gravity is a theory, even electricity is a theory. A scientific theory is a concept that ALL evidence supports and NONE contradicts.
I think you've confused total eclipses with what is known in astronomy as an occulation. Jupiter's moons a have much bigger apparent size than the sun, hence the sun is completely blocked out to an observer on the surface and an occulation results. Big deal.
A total eclipse requries that the moon appears as the exact size of the sun, which leaves behind the spectacular corona of the sun. Without this coincidence a comparatively boring occulation or annular eclipse will result.
VFX is probably assuming that the sun's specific volume doesn't change, and also assuming that the power output of the sun remains the same too. Even with those assumptions I don't understand how VFX reached his conclusion. Only .031% of the sun's original mass was lost. Assuming a constant specific volume, that's .031% volume loss after 4.6 billion years.
Damn! These videos rock! I no longer watch TV (dont even own one anymore) because there is just crap spun there. So glad folks like you upload worthwhile videos that actually educate public and not "entertain" it making it dumber than it already IS.
I want to thank you for these as they are quite informative. My specialties are biology (molecular biology specifically) and philosophy. I love learning astronomy while seeing CrAP "pwned."
I commented frequently to this kid that, according to simple math, using current numbers, the sun should live 13 billion years before running out of hydrogen. Hmmmm.. kinda close estimate, isn't it ?
indian--they use isometric dating based on ground-dissipating radar,laser-dispersion vector analysis,and highly accurate carbon tetrachloride dating.Sand of course is known for it's silicone crystals,and these can be accurately dated by photon diffraction together with measurement of residual mumeson decay differentials. ;>} (The same way as they do the other stuff).
tnx for the info but how do scientists find the oldest part of a desert bc i know that deserts can spread. like for instance im pretty sure i heard that the sahara is spreading bc of overgrazing of cattle and other things. do they just guess or is there a way to find the oldest part
indian---actually my previous post was humor aimed at some of our more impressionable folks.I suspect that the oldest area is buried and gets exposed from time to time,as when they found fused glass from a comet impact dating to King Tut:dated by using radioactive isotope assay/half-life comparison.What they checked was Iridium,I believe.
And one or two of those rabbit-ears v-shaped jobbies that have a spark going up between them only to disappear at the top, and go visssssst! And maybe a machine that goes "ping"...
Huh i was not aware Mercury has water in its exosphere. Interesting sounds worth doing some research on. On the other hand i am not totally surprised since its comprised of fairly common elements..
It also has highly radar reflective matter on its poles, which most people think are sulfur deposits, but have a slim chance of being actual water... (very slim)
Great job with videos but can't say I like the music on the background.. Classical music would be better since fewer people (I presume) would get annoyed by it :D. Anyways, keep up the good work.
Oh, calculations using 5 million tonnes against the current weight of the sun says nearly 11 billion years of life. VenomFangX has since agreed with me on this and seems to have wandered away...
Idiot totally ignored the fact we are measuring the distance in microns with a lster reflector placed there back in the Apollo Mission days and it's getting further away by inches a year.. in a few thousand years, it'll appear much smaller then the sun!
What about a clonal colony? A colony of 47,000 quaking aspen trees (nicknamed "Pando") covering 106 acres (43 ha)in Fishlake National Forest, United States is considered one of the oldest and largest organisms in the world. It has been estimated to be 80,000 to a million years old. Its also the worlds heaviest organisim weighing 6000 tonnes.
If its postulated age is correct, the climate into which Pando was born is markedly different from that of today, and it may be as many as ten millennia since Pando's last successful flowering, according to an OECD report
Excellent point about water being required for life... on Earth!
I've thought about that a few times myself. The search for life on other planets goes on with the theory that water is needed for any form of life... it's not broad enough... it's like saying, gasoline is needed to power all engines.
Creationists remind me of a child throwing a temper tantrum. Foot stomping and screaming along with plugging their ears. Well, I've evolved beyond God and the need to justify it to stagnant people.

How does he know how old something is? He must use carbon dating, the very same dating he calls flawed.

There are more ways of dating things than carbon dating.

I know, but carbon dating is accurate up to about 20,000 years. If the object is any older(or the math doesn't add up), then different forms of dating are used.

So you've just destroyed your comment. Bravo.
Abengoshis 2 years ago
How so? Unless you can find another method of dating used for 20,000 years and under, then I'm just going to assume that PCS used the supposed carbon dating(which he most likely got from an apologetic site) to date the age.

Sorry If it sounded like that, but I meant that carbon dating is used for objects up to 20,000 years(clearly, because that is when its most accurate). After 20,000 years, other dating methods are used. PCS said that the world was 4,400 years old, falling well in with carbon dating.

Darwin, My Life and Letters Vol. 1, page 210, admits, "Not one change of species into another is on record. We cannot prove that a single species has changed.

It doesn't matter what Darwin said. Not a tiny bit. Plenty of "species into another" IS on record now. and WE CAN prove that species have changed.
So I guess now with that new info, you'll accept that evolution is a fact?
It has nothing to do with God or Jesus either by the way, many people are Christian and accept the fact of evolution.

Fine, all "things" point to a supposed God's glory. But traditional theology, that god is everywhere does not necessarily clash with the theory of evolution any more than any other scientific theory. So we can all agree that, if there is a single god, and he is a he, then he works in mysterious ways. Though an awful lot has been discovered which illuminates his glory. Eg: Evolution.

In nature there are no good & bad creatures. Or as American's like to put it, simplistically, goodies & baddies. So it could be said humans are also just animals & some are, as they say, born, or I might say, hell bent on being EVIL. So I say, there but for the grace of God go I (the Evil me). But if 99.999% can not be saints by birth, can it be said we have no choice? So 99.99% of our sinful choices are in fact not choices but are actions foisted on us by our genes = your idea of GOD's WILL?

IconOfSin88 3 years ago
I think you've confused total eclipses with what is known in astronomy as an occulation. Jupiter's moons a have much bigger apparent size than the sun, hence the sun is completely blocked out to an observer on the surface and an occulation results. Big deal.
A total eclipse requries that the moon appears as the exact size of the sun, which leaves behind the spectacular corona of the sun. Without this coincidence a comparatively boring occulation or annular eclipse will result.
gmh1206 3 years ago
VFX is probably assuming that the sun's specific volume doesn't change, and also assuming that the power output of the sun remains the same too. Even with those assumptions I don't understand how VFX reached his conclusion. Only .031% of the sun's original mass was lost. Assuming a constant specific volume, that's .031% volume loss after 4.6 billion years.
WHERE THE HELL DID VFX GET HIS DATA?!!!

indian8217 3 years ago
indian--they use isometric dating based on ground-dissipating radar,laser-dispersion vector analysis,and highly accurate carbon tetrachloride dating.Sand of course is known for it's silicone crystals,and these can be accurately dated by photon diffraction together with measurement of residual mumeson decay differentials. ;>} (The same way as they do the other stuff).

tnx for the info but how do scientists find the oldest part of a desert bc i know that deserts can spread. like for instance im pretty sure i heard that the sahara is spreading bc of overgrazing of cattle and other things. do they just guess or is there a way to find the oldest part
indian8217 3 years ago
indian---actually my previous post was humor aimed at some of our more impressionable folks.I suspect that the oldest area is buried and gets exposed from time to time,as when they found fused glass from a comet impact dating to King Tut:dated by using radioactive isotope assay/half-life comparison.What they checked was Iridium,I believe.
