  • 28 seconds into vid. "There is now difference between micro and macro-evolution".I looked up macro-evolution on wikipedia here are the results:

    Macroevolution is a scale of analysis of evolution in separated gene pools.[1] Macroevolutionary studies focus on change that occurs at or above the level of species, in contrast with microevolution,[2] which refers to smaller evolutionary changes (typically described as changes in allele frequencies) within a species or population.

  • There is no distinguishable process other than the time period they occur over. This results in the vast changes that you are referring to. Quote mining is not a valid form of argument. Sorry.

  • Lol read that again it says the difference between macro and micro is the amount of population and the amount of time. The process is the same in both of them. They happen the same way. Acknowledging one and not the other means saying a ball can fall for 1 meter but it cant fall for 1km. micro and macro falls?

    Instead of quoting something with big words you don't understand try understanding it.

  • Watch the video, I agree with exactly what you just said. The above post took one portion of my presentation out of context and attempted to make it seem that I was incorrect on a statement I later clarified. I clarified the statement again since this person clearly overlooked it in the video and refused to watch the entirety of the presentation. I then pointed out this process is called quote mining.

  • How come your video is all blurry? It is hard to pay attention because of this.

  • Because my webcam is a piece of shit and I did a quick upload.

  • Actually, considering the way I feel right now....I think I did evolve from a rock O.o

    But seriously...and to beat a dead horse (AGAIN!!) I really dont get why Creationist/Xtians feel there HAS to be such a battle between science & religious faith. You know I see no such issue; that one does not have to negate the other.

    I think the core issue is that "they" are pissed as it is not something beyond their micromanagement.

  • Cam - this is excellant, as I have come to expect from you:)

    But you are quite pixillated:p

    Or my glasses are dirty......or I am drunk(?)

    lol....I realize you cant do anything about it:))

  • the theory of evolution is as an elephant trying to jumping across a fairly large bottomless pit.

    and if the missing link was never there, then why on earth do you state that we share a common ancestor, and if we did they would be the connection/link.

    and around 1:45 you crossed the word 'artificial selection' and 'breeding' with 'breed', which alters the video you responed to's statement. breed can be in the meaning of natural or artificial selection.

  • I would have meant breeding obviously.

    I explained that the idea behind 'missing links' was false. You altered my claim. I agree gaps can exist and be filled, the idea though is that we will never fill every gap, and that is what the idea missing link tries to imbue into the minds of people.

  • you can only fill a gap so much until you fall deeper into it

  • That has to be one of the most self refuting arguments I've ever heard.

  • its called a proverb.

  • "its called a proverb"

    Proverbs usually say something wise, or at least somewhat true.

  • Indeed.

  • it was used in a situation making it more odd than wise,and as for true, it is.

  • Far from true. It's self refuting. It's as effectively true as You can only walk so far forward, before you're walking backward.

  • it's refuting toward the previous argument, it doesn't mean it's not true.

  • "it's refuting toward the previous argument"

    Is that english?

    Anyway, you seem to like proverbs, can you not say in plain english what you mean? And btw saying a statement is true does not make it so, I could say 'There are pink elephants in the sky, it's true!" but all i'm doing is lying twice(or being crazy once).

  • do you know what english is? would you like me to speak another laguage? why don't you think about the saying before you respond?

  • Sorry, I meant good english.

    It still sounds self refuting say it in plain english, or use anouther proverb that works.

  • It's own argument is self refuting. Therefore, it is not true. Something cannot both be true and untrue.

  • evolution is evil!!!!

  • Whatever implications Evolution have on morality or value mean absolutely diddly squat when it comes to validity. Reality does not conform to your desires of comfort.

  • I wish you could post of this video all over the tubes! YouTube is filled with misinformation and we need more - many more - vids like this one. Thank you!

  • Hi there Elaina thanks tons for your support! Feel free to download any of my videos and repost them anywhere you feel like it, on youtube or not. My only request is that the descriptions remain the same other than perhaps a link to my channel would be greatly appreciated. There are many tools for downloading Youtube videos (they DL in FLV format) and you can upload FLV directly to youtube! Feel free to host them on your channel or elsewhere!

  • Actually themanwhoknew, you're both right and wrong. Micro and Macro evolution are indeed terms that are coined by, and most commonly used by, creationists when describing what they consider "real" evolution, and "dream" evolution. However, the two different types of evolution DO exist, they are just one in the same. The difference is length of time observed. The terms can be used to help simplify the general concept as well as demote it.

  • WOAH! There is NO such thing as Macro/micro evolution. It's a buzz word created by creationists to try and loopole around the fact that they accept Evolution.

  • well, i am a great supported of the evolution community... so you will see me around your other video.

    im going to watch your misconception videos now...

    i will be posting some evolution videos shortly (i finished it yet).

    you can subscribe if you want, i will be subscribing to your channel, thanks for posting good videos!! :)

  • The non-fossilized bones are a misconception, they were calcified... giving them the illusion that they did not decompose or fossilize. (just thought this might help)

  • Thanks for that clarification Phibins, and thank you tons for the rating. Glad to see a little support steaming along as well. Glad you enjoyed my video as well, and hope to see you around them more!

  • Good video...5*

  • You left out the misconception on the statement that "dinosaurs are mentioned several times in the Bible." First of all, the Bible should not be read as a scientific document, but an allegory on moral/ethical discourse. Secondly, there were only a few instances of large beasts in the Bible, that may be interpreted as dinosaurs, but this does not mean they were dinosaurs. Thirdly, correct me if I'm wrong, but since when did mammals live at the same time that the dinosaurs roamed the Earth?

  • Thank you kindly for pointing that out, Yes I did actually miss that issue and no, I don't believe that at any point the bible was actually referring to the dinosaurs. I think that's an interpretation created to cover a lack of explanation. Thank you again phrogex

  • Evolution is the lie of the Devil!!!!

    Nah I'm just kidding, nice video.

  • Lol thanks guys. Glad to have supporters on youtube as well lol.

  • Great job, Ethrock! I'm is proud of you!
