You're absolutely right about that: it's possible to accept natural selection without accepting the entire theory of evolution, just as its possible to accept any aspect of the theory without accepting the whole.

@circusOFprecision

Yes, I do have a more accurate model: find out past population sizes by looking at historical records and archeological sites. This is the method used by actual scientists (rather than simply making up a rate and assuming constant growth). No population on earth, human or oth...

Another standard creationist confusion of the terms "missing link", "transitional form", and "ancestor". These three terms do not describe the the same thing, and archeopteryx remains a beautiful example of a transitional form between reptiles and birds. The point is that the theory of evolution ...

Poor Shermer. Every ten years there are new UFO conspiracy theories. It's hard to be the voice of reason between three excited believers.

Well HTWW, I usually agree with you on market ideas, but I don't think your logic holds up here.

Firstly, there is a substantial difference between the prevalence and affordability of condoms versus other forms of birth control, especially for women. IUDs, implants, and injections come to mind,...

"c) You don't believe in the right to private property,"

Certainly not in the capitalistic sense, no. The problem with private property (capital) is that it stops our society from rewarding innovation and hard work. If power and authority are granted due to parentage (inste...

@wmwhitt1

Ah... I'm familiar with Gould's work... why do you want me to read this book?

Hey Decha... you aren't going to the Reason Rally, are you? I assume you aren't, but I want to double check.

@stevebee92653

"Pull out a couple of proteins in a motor and you have useless junk."

But I've just pointed you to a peer-reviewed study that shows this isn't true: there are multiple versions of the flagellum with many of its proteins "pulled out" that are still functional. This directly contr...

Bravo! This is a topic that isn't nearly addressed enough in atheist youtube videos: thanks for finally taking up the banner!

@hugenex2000

You're polite tone and ability to address my points have convinced me that you are correct.

***politely tips hat***

Happy Youtubing!

This is top notch stuff, NoFaith... thank you so much for putting this together! You cleared up some misconceptions I had: I owe you bigtime!

Hang in there, ohawright. I deconverted to atheism about two years ago, and the transition was an extremely difficult time for me as I was formerly a very devout and believing Christian.

Kudos to you for your devotion to honesty and truth, and here's hoping the change won't be too difficult.

@kitkatninja98

If you mean explaining the video, it's simply a response to some questions that another Youtuber had.

If you want an explanation of the Big Bang theory, see here: watch?v=zV6aQbnHSRo. The Big Bang Theory is currently accepted by the overwhelming majority of astronomers and cosmo...

This video still doesn't address QualiaSoup's arguments. QualiaSoup's goal is to show that the eye is not irreducibly complex (by showing functional subsets of its parts), or alternatively, to show that 'irreducibly complex' structures can indeed evolve by gradual means. How does this video addre...

This is how fundamentalist Christians see the world.

@karoloandria

For the purposes of this series (great scott, I need to get back on this! I had three more videos planned!), I would lump modernist music in with 'Modern Music'. Post-modernist music is admittedly much more accessible to audiences, but is so new and relatively undefined that I'm n...

AAAAAHHHHHH!

Hitler never mentioned Darwin in his life.

And 'On The Origins Of Species' was one of the books banned and burned by the Nazi party.

Sigh.

I love this series, Anubis, thanks for posting.

Just out of curiousity, are there natural ways of increasing testosterone? I ask not out of vanity (of course ;-)), but curiousity, as I've been lifting weights for several months now, lost quite a bit of weight, and recently have felt noticeably m...

@grant50

Aha... yes, of course. Good eye.

This video is correct that many cases of bacterial resistance is merely a showcase for the power of natural selection.

However, many cases of antibiotic resistance in bacteria have actually been traced down to specific mutations, proving that the resistance was not in the original population. Th...

The point with all the Trinitarian "Proof Scriptures" is that under Trinitarianism, Jesus seems to "hint" to be God, and Jesus' enemies (being liars and sinners) accused Jesus of claiming to be God. Neither of these make a good case for Jesus actually claiming to be God.

More importantly, if Jes...

It may be considered unfortunate by some that modern genetics clearly suggests a history of life contradictory to a young-earth, literal interpretation of Genesis, but that's no reason to misrepresent the science. These presenters know full well that the overwhelming majority of geneticists beli...

Let's review this argument...

1. All atheism is naturalism and materialism.

2. Logical laws are immaterial objects, not mental constructs.

3. Only God can make immaterial objects.

4. Therefore, if you believe in Logic, you believe in God.

If you can't see the flaws in this argument, I can't hel...

This is ridiculous. Who makes the rules about who is allowed into which changing room? Macy's does. So who decides who can go into which changing room? Macy's does.

It's not the law... it's the company rule.
