  • are you a dude? lol

  • Keep championing rationality moo! You are far from alone. It's great how all the myth believing, scientific-truth deniers obviously don't have a problem reaping the benefits that science brings them in their everyday lives. Religion is the tapeworm in the guts of rationality.

  • So...you took an intro to logic class and your being a prick now? Go fuck yourself, your not smart. I hate douche bags who feel like they need to enlighten everyone about shit, in the end of the day your still a sucker who can't hack up enough social skill to get what you want out of life.

  • So does that mean you hate preachers and pastors too, or just that you don't like thinking logically?

  • @mooeypoo thats a bunch of shit people have the right to hate and basspliff187 is thinking logically

  • hey girl.....tell us how you really feel, lol.hehehhehehehehehehehe

    Hey heres an idea, why not get some of your fans, ask them to help with the research???each one digs up something and reports the results directly to you?

    And please dont let the "moorons" get to you, I listen to the crap constantly.

    I havent read the book so I wont comment on it accept to say that facts and truths will rarely get any one to disbeleive what ever they beleive.

  • Lots of talk. Absolutely no content. Blah Blah Blah

    By the way, I know how to think right.

  • The main reason creationists don't believe in evolution is because they believe, there was no death in the garden of Eden.

    I wonder why GOD would design humans with a DIGESTIVE system?

    HINT; to eat means the death of something.

    GOD wanted man to live forever!

    GOD created everything GOOD,meaning opposed to evil.

    GODS LAWS ARE PERFECT, everything happens randomly or imperfectly within their boundaries.

  • It's very easy to lie. Democrats and Obama have proven that. Atheism is a belief. It is a "belief in no "God(s)". The agnostic position is the ONLY "purely logical" one. Atheists are simply believers in a sea of other beliefs. I am agnostic and have yet to be lose a debate with an atheist. I have debated hundreds of them. I do not wish to frustrate or humiliate atheists. I only wish to TEACH that the theist and atheist positions are "beliefs". It is logical to say " I cannot know until I die.

  • stupidd people??????? your the one who doesnt belive in god haha you athiest make me laugh youll never get anywhere

  • think rite???

  • Mooeypoo...How do you answer the contention that these natural mysteries were created by a "God?". Could possibly a "God" have placed these curiosities within us so that our minds would remain stimulated, trying to solve these mysteries? Does the discovery of "scientific facts" of the cosmos, have any meaning whatsoever ? Does their discovery mirror a measurement of our "intelligence?" or are these discoveries mere markers leading us to another curiosity, thereby stimulating us further?

  • I think you should make videos only for people who like to think. You can't save the morons.

  • Please, don't stop. I love your videos. It's the reason I keep coming back. Don't mind the morons

  • Great video... Don't mind the morons.

  • well, thinking logically does not imply ppl know all

    ur videos are good. go for it

  • You haven't said it yet but I assume you're talking about biblethumpers. I don't think other people can reach those levels of ,oh, there- you said it, creationists. If they ever come up with actual proof you'll hear about it. Kind of like if china invaded south carolina. So there's really no point in investigating ANY of their so called 'proofs'. In my opinion anyway. As for being nice, you're right. We need more ninjas.

  • Thinking "right" is vastly overrated. I don't care to think right. I prefer to think like a heepo-poto-moose.

  • I know that educating can get frustrating, keep your priorities as they are. Make vidoes as you can, your youtube watchers will be here

  • Trying to explain evolution to a creationist is like trying to explain

    quantum mechanics to a wall, neither of the two is capable to comprehend

    the topic at hand nor is particularly intrested in it.

    Creationists can't be educated, because they do not want to be

    educated, trying to do so is a shot in the dark. Nevertheless, eductional

    videos are, what keeps them from stampeding the net with their stupidity and

    on a side note: It also trains you in working scientifically.

  • The world needs more people like you!

  • ikester7579

    All you're doing is proving a point. You should be proud.

  • I really enjoyed your first godmos. I do hope that you will continue. Creationists are an amazing sort. Science is great when they think it supports their cause, but when it doesn't, it's wrong. So much wonder and amazement in the universe and they want to pretend it doesn't exists. They are like stubborn children wandering into a room of grown ups having a conversation and telling them they're wrong on a topic they know nothing about. Simple explanations for simple minds I suppose.

  • In the Discworld novel "the Truth" (which is about a newly invented Newspaper business) there's a phraze that keeps getting repeated over and over again throughout the book; "A lie can travel around the world before he ruth can get its shoes on".

    he story is basicalluy about two rival newspapers; one obsessed with actually printing News, the other basically making up bullshit.

  • Well, I will mention that *I* learned stuff about astronomy from you. I only have a laymen's undersanding of Astronomy but it's interesting.

    I seem to recall that after I watched the first episode of Godmos, I knew more information about Astronomy than I did before.

  • I think I understand your frustration. I've goit a video called Ken Ham Vs Me in which I argue that the very existance of this whole continent (Australia) proves there's no God, and I spend a whole video explaining why. Most of my videos i';ve been thinking about for a day, maybe a week, couple of months tops. But that paticular video has stuff I've been thinking about for YEARS.

    But do Theists actually address ANY of the points? No. They're like "God exists and that's that."

  • I think you forgot to put on the mic your weird shaped pop filter! : ) apart from this, you are an adorable talking machine, but don't force it more than you would enjoy it.

  • You should quit your job and quit school and do YouTube fulltime.

    WE MUST BE ENTERTAINED!

  • I was raised to think about things rationally and to question everything. I also come from a scientific background. Lately, however, I have been exposed to subjects and matter on youtube and various other websites, which have quite frankly attempted to change my whole way of thinking and the view that I have of the world. These things p1ss me off as well. Thankyou for your videos. They have given me great reassurance that the world isn't in fact full of idiots, as I previously thought.

  • Just wanted to say that I'm one of those who are already convinced, but I watch any new videos you post because I don't know much about astronomy and I find your arguments on that topic interesting & good fuel for when/if I get into conversations with creationists. But I understand your frustration & can't blame you for wanting to give up spending your free time arguing on the internet if it's bringing you more frustration than happiness. I'll miss you if you go, but you gotta look out for #1!

  • You need to find out why you made these videos.

    - Was it to educate those who already know?

    - Was it to educate those who will never accept?

    - Was it to educate those who do not know yet?

    - Was it purely for the fun of making them?

    And base your future course on the next question:

    - Is what you're getting out of it worth what you're putting into it?

    Easy enough ;)

  • Oh, and one last thing:

    - Could you adapt the way of making your videos to the answer to my first question without taking the fun of the making out of it?

  • you remind me of Heidi Hammel, wonderfully passionate about astronomy and science. You are right, first think about yourself and your own life. But I hope to See you back when you have more time. We need well spoken and intelligent people like you here on you-tube, to prevent the "gullible" become pray of pseudoscience, magical thinking and crooks.

  • Well done dear.

    How pleasant to see such heartfelt appreciation of the Method.

    Do not yield.

  • Please keep it up, you're videos are very interesting and fun to watch. Take it easy and have some laughs at expense of the morons. Just remember the kind of stupidity that people at the beginning of the renaissance had to put up with, some were even burned alive lol

  • "The time for us to be nice is over"

    I second that. I am sooo tired of having to excuse myself of being an atheist, so in principle a rationally thinking person.

  • Good to see you back.

  • I support your decision completely. They ARE just trying to tire you. I must confess I have become a bit of a censor, in the sense that I see my comments section as a bit like a meeting room. I don't let just any idiot come in and interrupt "the chairman". I will not let them waste my time if I perceive that as one of their primary objectives. I've missed you and will miss you again, but real life comes first every time.

  • I just want to say YOU ARE GETTING THROUGH TO ME AT LEAST. I have spent years of my life studying and reading and learning about evolution, the bible, God, Science etc... I have so many "different" beliefs from everyone i know. I just have to thank you for clarifying so much for me, yes I double check you answers b/c thats just me, nothing at face value I guess. I have been to something an "intervention" to cure me of my "insane" belief system. Please don't stop teaching I'M listening!

  • Thanks for the update. As one who has been in the school/career debate I can appreciate your struggle. Understanding that you have limited time, why not collect volunteers to produce shorts and delegate authority? I'm sure there are many like minded people that would be willing to help provide content for the Godmos series. Best wishes!

  • I certainly missed your analysis while you were away. It's clear that you can't do anything in a half-assed way, so good luck doing things that are more important to you. Thanks for all your work so far!

  • I think it will take concerted efforts of all kinds to affect those who are ignorant of modern science (ie, science). So what you have done so far

    is good, but do get the degrees! That's a priority.

  • glad to see you're back, I know how work can dominate your life, balance is key

  • Well I appreciate your vids, I learn from you and get links to learn more on my own. Real Life first, then YT life, I can wait patiently for when you have time to make more vids.

  • Yeah, I'll agree with you that YouTube should be a low priority for you right now. You've succeeded in adding to the number of people tired of bs. But please come back after you've attained your degree. If intelligence is as rare as it seems to be, at least some of those gullible people will take you at your word instead of believing the other bs. Trying to teach people to think is akin to sqeezing water from stone.

  • Will you bare my child? : )

    Great stuff! You are on of my favorite people on YouTube!

    I would love to see you make more videos but sadly i think they would just be for people who are interested in learning how the world really works and not how they would like it to be. Just you know we all love them so they can never be a waste.

  • Female Atheist = Godsend on youtube :D

  • I am a Mooeypoo groupie. Thanks for coming back. You look older, wiser and sexier!

    Oh, by the way - science rules.

  • You've noticed this, huh? It takes a LOT of strength to put up with this. I should know! Right now, I'm trying to convince a moon hoax nut that Global Warming is NOT caused by NASA spacecraft punching holes in the ozone layer.

  • your awesome mooeypoo.Keep up the good work.

  • I don't think you should bother. I don't know if the words "morons" or "idiots" are applicable(maybe they are, maybe they're not), but something is ***definitely wrong*** with these peoples brains. We're all just human, we have limited patience ... it's as if they try to find the end of that patience rather than LEARN SOMETHING.

  • It's fully understandable to not want to waste your time arguing against people who will just parrot the same false information back at you over and over again. Really, you'll never convinced the person you're arguing against, but don't underestimate your power to set a good example for the undecided people sitting on the sidelines. I don't care one way or the other if you don't want to make new videos refuting these books, but hopefully you'll keep posting videos with fun and interesting info

  • Any video from you, Moo, is a treat. But, your life is more important. We can wait.

  • ditto

  • the problem is that you are not attacking the weakest points of creationism.

    you just cannot win against creationism when you just try to defend science.

    the weakest points in creationism are: the god hypothesis, the bible, the behaviour of religious fundamentalists, the concept of sin, heaven/hell, the concept of faith.

    this is what you need to attack if you want to fight creationism. deconvert them, and THEN teach them about science, not the other way around ;)

  • ... continued

    i am sure that richard dawkins was at a similar point, he wrote tons of books explaining evolution in the most beautiful ways, but he realized that he didnt have much effect, only people that are already interested in science read them.

    and then he wrote the god delusion.

    attack their religion! this is the only way you can fight creationism AND WIN. disproving creationism doesnt stop them from being christians. ripping the bible and their morality in pieces is more effective.

  • I've learned a lot from you and I totally enjoy your videos. Please, when you get some free time, keep making your videos!!! You're my favorite youtuber!

  • You don't owe us an explanation. Real life before YouTube, always.

    It is nice to see you again though!

  • do you find it fun to make these video's while on your free time?

    if so think of it more as a hobby, and dont feel pressured to persuade everybody all the time. if it causes more stress and frustration than pleasure to make these video's, stop or take a long break, i can understand.

    have you learned anything from researching for these videos?

  • *waves* The good thing about researching something difficult, is it will strengthen your research abilities. Which I would think research is a big part of science.

    So no. You prob wont convert many of the morons. But you will strengthen your research skills. Which in the end, will you you, and then later help others when you're able to present the information to them be it in debate or informational video.

    And lastly, it's not possible to please everyone. Not worth the effort to try.

  • Well, I think we can all appreciate your frustration at dealing with certain people; and if you stop posting most of us will understand. It is however with a heavy heart that we watch you go...if you do. You shall be missed but your education and job are far more important than youtube. Good luck to you in your endeavors; hopefully you can find a little time to make posts now and again. I'll keep my subscription just in case ;-}

  • Focus on your job and your education.

  • Well half your audience are already sane, a quarter of your audience are just too stupid/arrogant/brain washed to help, but it's that last silent quarter that your videos actually would help. You'll never hear a peep out of them either, but if you convince someone that their lifes belief is null then they aren't going to sing about it from the roof tops.

    I suggest just making videos on whatever you are studying because it'll be interesting to everyone and less frustrating :)

  • That is a great idea

  • Finally! Back!

    How are you?

  • Where do I start? You are way to smart (and cute) to be wasting your time convincing monkeys that there is NO banana god. Be proactive and make videos that stress the reasons why evolution and science are founded on SOUND principles. Maybe that way when people look at the arguments theists make about god and compare them to our arguments we will win by DEFAULT!

  • There are some people who post videos and don't bother to respond to questions, and that may be another option. Let others hash it out and get a cup of coffee. I compulsively get involved with futile arguments myself, but I'm working on letting go more quickly. It is frustrating when I feel I have stated my points clearly only to keep running into a brick wall. Apparently, letting go is a skill that some of us must develop. Pray for me.

    Keep them coming even if you do it at a more relaxed pace.

  • I can think of many arguments that I have had in my lifetime where both sides claim that they have done nothing wrong, only to change behavior anyway. My point is, that it is hard to change behavior that is taught from childhood and steeped in the fear of hell, but despite arguments to the contrary, you may have influenced more change than you know. I look forward to your videos one way or another.

  • I see stoopid people...

  • Yay! Mooeypoo!

    I feel your frustration. On my "0.999... = 1" I got comments like "Your mathematical proofs are good, but you're wrong. It's not equal to 1." However, I know that I did convince a few people with that video.

    I suggest that you leave the book name and "book review" in the tags and occasionally your videos will be found be people you might be able to help. If you can help just one person, then it's not a waste of time.

  • never mind the morons.. you got the respect of the ppl who "know how to think right"..lol

    keep the faith sister!(lol) <-(faith in logic and rational thinking)

  • Rational people have absolute respect for you. I respect that you don't want to waste your time with creative morons. Do your study and ultimately benefit the world with something that is a long way from all the religious lying lowlifes narrow experience. You are right and they waste time with their stupid ideas. If creationists could hold back human development they would and the world would still be flat and the black plague would still be returning to kill us.

  • do not waste your time on fools:)

  • Okay....

  • welcome back I missed you

  • MOOEYPOO!!!! It is good to see you again. :o)

    P.S.

    I agree, "stupid" people can be exhausting...

    Cool video... ★★★★★

    Katalyzt

  • By all means, concentrate on your career and degree, but please don't discount your attempts to educate the public. We need scientists (and like-minded people) reaching out to those people who have been raised, muddled in belief.

  • Congrats on your new job!

    I miss watching your videos, I always learn at least one new thing watching them.

    I understand your frustration, but I think you are reaching people. I either get praise from the choir or aggravating arguments from irrational believers. I think I've lapsed from patience to irritation far too much at times... but I still get the occasional comment from people who think on some of the things I talk about and change their worldview.

    Small changes, baby-steps.

  • Been a long time! Good to see a new video from you!
