@WirlWind494 lol interesting phrase you used there. it's almost unfortunate how such a common expression if disbelief calls upon the utter bollocks we are currently in the process of unravelling
At my school we were taught both creationism and evolution. OK, that isn't tottally true. We were taught what creationists believe in RS class and we got taught evolution in biology
If they are to teach creationism, they should teach it in religious studies, not as an alternative theory, but what creationists believe. And then we can do what they did in my class and make jokes about it with the school chaplin for an hour. Good times.
How many creationists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
Holy shit! That video at 7:45 was one the most horrifying videos I'v EVER seen :O The amount of manipulation... Seemed like propaganda to me and who was the nasty guy who used that quite alot...? Oh.. Yeah..
Thanks for this one!

this totally underestimate the advancement of the brain. the reason that computers can calculate things faster than humans can isn't b/c of memory but b/c of RAM. computers aren't limited like brains are b/c the average human can only use 7% of his brain at one time. if he could use even 50% they could easily out speed a computer. those who are autistic can do such remarkable things like those calculations or memorization.
@HypnologicQualm no i know we use 100% of your brain but that's not what i said. i said "AT ONE TIME." i went to that childrens website and it did say what you support but i didn't say anything like that.
@chipan9191 "Perhaps when people use the 10% brain statement, they mean that only one out of every ten nerve cells is essential or used at any one time? How would such a measurement be made? Even if neurons are not firing action potentials, they may still be receiving signals from other neurons." From the children's website.
"Furthermore, from wikipedia: "Neurologist Barry Gordon describes the myth as laughably false, adding, "we use virtually every part of the brain, and that [most of] the brain is active almost all the time"
What I am trying to show is that a simple google search shows how wrong you are. You didn't even spend the 0.22 seconds it took to generate about 31,600,000 results to see if what you saying had any validity.
@chipan9191Your sentence makes now sense. Also, you provided another false bit of information.
Magnetic resonance was first discovered in the 1950s, and lots of research on the method was carried out during the the 1970s, with a patent on NMR being filed in 1972. - Wikipedia

Well if you're going to do that, you can't stop with just that. You have to rewrite true to equal false and become complete nonsense. Otherwise the parts of logic you haven't destroyed are enough to rebuild the whole and disprove it again. To make it possible you have to... think possible and impossible are synonyms.

@skweakykitty Me and a friend sat down and figured it out, once upon a time. I can't fully remember the final conclusion we reached (we're talking on the order of a decade ago, after all) but I believe it was close to the birth of the Space Age being around the same time Columbus discovered the New World.
The human genome is bootstrap code for much more complicated devolopment over the course of ~20 years. it is not the human definition, but the human blueprint - in the same way a boot image of +/-(50mb/partit.) allows access and creation of (insert HDD space here)+ worth of processes. "Scientifically Illiterate" is certainly the best description here.
Because we disagree with eachother, means we're wrong, and because creationists don't, they're right.
Anyone else start busting out in laughter at that? S'like saying "Because I'm full, and you're full, and we're the only two people in this house full of food, humans do not need to eat. Ever."
Good one, but i would not suggest that the 'scientific method' is without problems. It does have a few, but it *is* much better than the religious blindness.
This is the best one yet in this series. Perfectly put.. when I was young my mother used to take me to church (I still resent her a little for that, she probably can't understand why). I was asking about dinosaurs on the way home one day, and she told me that dinosaur bones and the fossil record were SEEDS PLANTED BY THE DEVIL. I wasn't even 10 years old and it made me sick. Still does. I'm going to go listen to Spiritual Healing now
there ought to be a law against these creationist fools being able to influence our children. Funny how they are perfectly willing to accept modern conveniences but insist on pathetic attempts to disprove science. I say let them go back to sheep herding, cooking over fires, beating clothes over rocks, etc., etc., Back to the way it was done when the "book" was written. Leave the rest of us alone. Go find a deserted island somewhere.
@nancy6ify You´re absolutely right. Even the Amish nowdays are driving pickup trucks allthough those are supposed to be the hardcore oldschoolers. May they think mobile phones and computers etc. have been sent by God, ie. Apple headquarters are located in heaven then... :) Well on the other hand many Mac users seem to be believe so, hence worshipping that brand. :P
@nancy6ify 100% agreed, it ticked me off so much when i saw the scene where little kids were brainwashed to saying to trust god before scientists. What has god ever done for us? unnecessary war? deluding people from the truth? creating lazy people who instead investigates the truth, just concludes with god did it? People who pray instead lending a helping hand? People who sins and thinks all they have to do is confess? AND these god dam ignorant creationists!!

Thunnderf00t, you are an intellectual badass of the highest order, sir. Keep educating people about the wonders of real science, and keep debunking fairy-tale idiocy. Love this series of vids.
This video must be my favorite in the series. The conclusion is one of the most concise and eloquent defenses against Creationist attacks on the scientific method and its contributions to civilization.

Scientists have debates and areas of disagreement on the concept of Evolution, like in every aspect of science. But there is no debate on Evolution as a whole within the scientific community. It withstands and grows stronger after 160 years of speculation and criticism. The evidence is profound and in the course of a few decades nearly all scientists rejected Creation for Evolution. Creationists don't care about being fair, they just want to have their influence spread everywhere.
@pochopaz7381 Children being raised in their parents' religion is a disgrace. I saw a video once for a movie called Christian camp or something, and there was this lady who said that since people in the Islam community are ready to die for their faith at a young age she thinks that children in the US should be raised the same way to combat Islam. What the fuck?! It's so sad how they're trained as militant Christians before they can think for themselves.
It's frightening that in early 2008, the world's population was around 6 billion and in fall of 2011, it's nearly 7 billion. Search for 'world population clock' for the site to watch it click over to 7 billion next week or the week after - youtube won't let me post the link 'cuz it has that awful dubya dubya dubya in it!!

@Mapnapkin Creationists and religious extremists are indeed narrow-minded and inflexible to other's ideas but let's not forget that religion is what inspired thousands, if not millions of pieces of artwork and music in the past. We wouldn't have things like St. Peter's Basilica or many of the other brilliantly ornate churches and cathedrals. Religion, like most things, have to sides. Creationists, however, are in a category of their very own. Intentionally blind to reality.
@NaivaxWolf That is an interesting idea that I had not thought of, however, if not religious artwork, we still would have had inspiring artwork at the same level, just with different subjects. The lack of religion would not have limited art, we would just have something different to look at. But, now I am making assumptions... who knows. Interesting idea.
Does anyone know what Thunderf00ts profession is? I mean he's obviously a scientist, but can anyone tell me which branch he specialises in or anything?
@TullySaranLawd I am in no way certain but I think he's a chemist and he may also have a degree in astronomy. I may be way off also but I've seen his other videos where those are the subjects of his observations or experiments. That being said he's probably a biologist or something else completely different from what I said and I'm probably an idiot.
@wkrepelin Lol no it's a good guess i was thinking he must be a research chemist with a PhD or something myself, but his knowledge of physics is also amazing. He's like a human encyclopedia.
@TullySaranLawd Search "thunderf00t's research" on youtube and watch the video by c0nc0rdance.
In it, c0nc0rdance explains that thunderf00t is a research fellow in a precise field of physical chemistry, and has been consistently productive: 34 publications since 2003, first author on 20 of them, mostly in 2nd or 3rd tier journals, with one first author in Proceedings of the Natl Academy of Science. "Could absolutely take this cv and be a serious contender for an assc. prof. at a top level uni
In the end the truth will come out. Wishful thinking cannot withstand methodical reasoning forever and the longer it goes on, the more nonsensical the rigid religious position gets as knowledge advances exponentially and makes a mockery of ostrich-like behaviour. It's wrong that there is an unrecognized bunch of "disadvantaged children being "created" right now (and not by "god" either).
This makes me wonder when science is going to come up with a way to implant computer chips in the brain that can function with the brain and send and receive signals to and from it. An internal number cruncher! That would be AWESOME! ^_^
Not to mention if any data collected or learned could be retrieved after a person's death, or downloaded and shared... we'd all be super-geniuses in no time (and of course in achieving that religion would be abolished)!
The creationist video at 7:48 was despicable. I want to punch that guy for brain washing all those kids and making them turn against science and pray to some magic man for answers.
Big thanks to Thunderf00t for these videos, awesome stuff. Your doing the job the media should have done long ago if it wasn't owned by people that either believe in creationism or that have an interest in having the public believe in creationism.
That creationist scumbag lecturing those children on god is absolutely disgusting. I went to a catholic school as a child where we were effectively force-fed religion from the age of 4+ but thankfully I possessed enough intelligence to break free from the poisonous grasp of religion from a young age, before it ensnared me like it has done to so many others before me.
Being one of those poor scientists that is, as you so eloquently put it, removed from the front, would suck, roughly the equivalent of doing an rpg grind against randomly spawned enemies, but without the XP or phat lewts at the end!
7:46 This has to be the worst thing I have ever heard someone tell children. Ever. That's not even acceptable. Not even remotely correct, morally or in any other way. I'm a pacifist, and I say that man should be shot dead and never spoken of again. He's the very reason I have little hope in the survival of the human race. That's as bad as saying, "always stay on the same path. Never change, and continuously repeat the same things and expect different results. Do not experiment in life." INSANITY
i have been watching your videos for some time now. i have to say i love what you have done. you are a great voice for someone like me. i have grown up in an entirely christian community and have been fed all of the lies you have dis proven for as long as i can remember. thank you
I dont blame you for being upset in the end. They were pretty hellbent on making there views more valid then the others just because some BS book says otherwise.
I don't know how to express myself but to say I love you. I love you I love you and keep it up! I'm just a wee bit too drunk. All the same though. I hope you are well.
Your pathetic creationist empire, your agenda to twist freedom of speech and insist only those who believe as you do can be worthy to reap its benefits, and your campaign to brainwash children is a detrement to the free thinking world (well, maybe not North Korea, they've been out of the equation since 1948). Do me a favour, terminate your Australian citizenship and stay out of my homeland. Then do the rest of mankind a favour, go die a slow, painful death.
I'm supposed to go to bed now, but...I can't stop watching these. The religious stupidity concerns me deeply, and Thunderf00t's educated rebuttals engage me. I look forward to the day when science has advanced enough so I can modify my own circadian rhythm...and of course made theism obsolete.
7:46!!! WTF no wonder there are so many avid believers in Creationism, to all you Creationists, I truly feel sorry you were abused in this way, you never had a chance at thinking for yourselves... This has to stop......
I wonder if presenting a money-free society to the academic arena would be met with thunderous applause...and not just because some of them would be Roddenberry fans.
“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
Them kids don't stand a chance in life being fed lies from a young age. We have a term for this its called brain washing and not only is it unethical but it is dam right tantamount to child abuse.
@danmartin4 It is child abuse. But they do stand a chance. Look at people like the thinking atheist. Christian for many, many years of his life. But science and reason saved him from a life of ignorance. Spread these videos, as well as other informative videos that destroy the religious argument. Instead of sitting around "hoping" and "praying" that others free themselves from the bonds of ignorance, like a christian would.
7:46 actually made me say out load, "Oh my god..." Its not only shocking but REVOLTING that someone would brainwash young impressionable minds with something like that. That man should be locked up and kept far away from children.
the man at 7:46 made me want to throw up. ken ham is absolutely despicable. he was manipulating the minds of children, in an attempt to gain more christians on his side. he was lying and acting childish and sick. ken ham is an awful person.
Academic peer review, like academia in general, is far more about people clinging to their money, reputations and positions than it is to furthering the knowledge of mankind. Look up the video "unnecessary fuss", the East Anglia Climate Leaks, or Professor Hwang Woo-Suk for examples of academic misconduct. I appreciate how thunderf00t presents creationists, but to claim academia is a bastion of unadulterated, benevolent knowledge is deeply misleading.
This may be true of certain individuals, but academic peer review is a rigorous process whereupon hundreds of people attempt to poke as many holes as they can in one's findings. It is also worth noting that it is infinitely better for some good data and conclusions to be shot down in peer review than a single bad theory slip through the cracks.
The fact thatt Hwang Woo-Suk, the cold fusion guys, and other people who have falsified information were revealed for the liars that they are is a tribute to how effective the peer review process is. It was through this process that it was discovered the papers were false. Just because the occasional falsified paper gets accepted into a journal does not mean that the whole peer review system has failed as a whole.
if ID were truth, then why is it that all of us are not equal? surely someone Intelligently Designed wouldn't turn out blind deaf and mute (Helen Keller).
@84warhead Yep! Try that stunt with a group of rational adults & you wouldn't make it to the end of your first page of lecture notes. Get 'em when they're young & impressionable. Watch the movie Jesus Camp. Unfuckingbelievable.

"Scientifically Illiterate" is certainly the best description here.

Because we disagree with eachother, means we're wrong, and because creationists don't, they're right.
Anyone else start busting out in laughter at that? S'like saying "Because I'm full, and you're full, and we're the only two people in this house full of food, humans do not need to eat. Ever."

This is the best one yet in this series. Perfectly put.. when I was young my mother used to take me to church (I still resent her a little for that, she probably can't understand why). I was asking about dinosaurs on the way home one day, and she told me that dinosaur bones and the fossil record were SEEDS PLANTED BY THE DEVIL. I wasn't even 10 years old and it made me sick. Still does. I'm going to go listen to Spiritual Healing now

@nancy6ify 100% agreed, it ticked me off so much when i saw the scene where little kids were brainwashed to saying to trust god before scientists. What has god ever done for us? unnecessary war? deluding people from the truth? creating lazy people who instead investigates the truth, just concludes with god did it? People who pray instead lending a helping hand? People who sins and thinks all they have to do is confess? AND these god dam ignorant creationists!!

Scientists have debates and areas of disagreement on the concept of Evolution, like in every aspect of science. But there is no debate on Evolution as a whole within the scientific community. It withstands and grows stronger after 160 years of speculation and criticism. The evidence is profound and in the course of a few decades nearly all scientists rejected Creation for Evolution. Creationists don't care about being fair, they just want to have their influence spread everywhere.

@pochopaz7381 Children being raised in their parents' religion is a disgrace. I saw a video once for a movie called Christian camp or something, and there was this lady who said that since people in the Islam community are ready to die for their faith at a young age she thinks that children in the US should be raised the same way to combat Islam. What the fuck?! It's so sad how they're trained as militant Christians before they can think for themselves.

Mapnapkin 5 months ago in playlist Why do people laugh at creationists?
@Mapnapkin Creationists and religious extremists are indeed narrow-minded and inflexible to other's ideas but let's not forget that religion is what inspired thousands, if not millions of pieces of artwork and music in the past. We wouldn't have things like St. Peter's Basilica or many of the other brilliantly ornate churches and cathedrals. Religion, like most things, have to sides. Creationists, however, are in a category of their very own. Intentionally blind to reality.
NaivaxWolf 5 months ago
@NaivaxWolf That is an interesting idea that I had not thought of, however, if not religious artwork, we still would have had inspiring artwork at the same level, just with different subjects. The lack of religion would not have limited art, we would just have something different to look at. But, now I am making assumptions... who knows. Interesting idea.

Academic peer review, like academia in general, is far more about people clinging to their money, reputations and positions than it is to furthering the knowledge of mankind. Look up the video "unnecessary fuss", the East Anglia Climate Leaks, or Professor Hwang Woo-Suk for examples of academic misconduct. I appreciate how thunderf00t presents creationists, but to claim academia is a bastion of unadulterated, benevolent knowledge is deeply misleading.

@spiritanvil
This may be true of certain individuals, but academic peer review is a rigorous process whereupon hundreds of people attempt to poke as many holes as they can in one's findings. It is also worth noting that it is infinitely better for some good data and conclusions to be shot down in peer review than a single bad theory slip through the cracks.

The fact thatt Hwang Woo-Suk, the cold fusion guys, and other people who have falsified information were revealed for the liars that they are is a tribute to how effective the peer review process is. It was through this process that it was discovered the papers were false. Just because the occasional falsified paper gets accepted into a journal does not mean that the whole peer review system has failed as a whole.
