Ian Juby Jones and the stuff that came from nowhere (US Version)

Ian Juby Jones and the stuff that comes from nowhere -- The slightly less copyright infringing version

This is a re-upload and edited version of my response to Ian Juby's Genesis Week . The only difference being the music at the beginning.



This is a response to Episode 3 of Ian Juby's Genesis Week where he scoffs at the idea of something coming into existence out of nothing by poking fun at Professor Laurence Krauss's book, a universe from nothing.

Being good at number puzzles and word games and having a Mensa membership card gives him the perfect qualifications for debunking people with doctorates in physics and great luminaries of science such as Einstein and Hawking when it comes to gravitational theory, after all who would know more about how objects behave when in the vicinity of a large dense mass.

So I explain to him in simplistic terms, what Professor Krauss was talking about in his book and how it isn't as fantastical as he makes it out to be and I point out some of the things that would not be possible without the science he is trying to debunk.

And yes I know that I make some sweeping generalisations but remember I am trying to explain this to someone who thinks that gravity is just another theory.

Hi Paul, at 6:39 in the vid, crocoduck hunter is holding a replica of that stupid cambodian stegosaurus. Do you remember where that image came from? I could sure use it, or a clip of the video it was in, in a video I am working on. Please don't make me sit through hours of juby to find it! ; )

Thanks. -Salad

@FishHeadSalad I got all my images of Juby from Google images with the search term "ian Juby". From the UK, its the second image that comes up

The others are still images taken from screen shots of his videos.

Nobody should be made to sit through hours of Juby

I used to be a member of Mensa. I left when I realized that the meetings consisted of people talking about how smart they were while saying very stupid things. I could get that for free from the Internets, so I stopped paying my dues.

[paulchartley]

@deriamis The problem I have with Mensa is that it is often used as a substitute qualification to trot out when the qualifications you have are not relevant.

Mensa members are undoubtedly intelligent but the ability to do well in an IQ test is no substitute to years of study in a specialist subject and Ian does not seem to realise this

What he is saying to his intended audience is that he is more intelligent than they are so they should just take his word for it

Paul, an equally challenging question would be, "Where did the hydrogen come from to form the water, since hydrogen is a product of stars?... You know, the water that was present in the vacuum of space, which without radiation/heat/etc. that would have been a sphere of ice, assuming hydrogen was poofed into existence as well?...etc., etc...."

[paulchartley]

@rationalmuscle Even better is where did the oxygen come from that bonded with the hydrogen to form the water that made up the deep that the lord did move upon?

@WildwoodClaire1 Don't be daft, when I was doing this one I was constantly thinking of what you would say to him.

Unfortunately calling him chubby hubby doesnt work very well for me so I have to think of other things.

Besides your demolition of douche baggery is second to none when it comes to debunking folks like Ian about geology.

Also, a great many thanks for the shoutout on Sunday in coffee with Claire, yet again I owe you one

I think mass is converted to energy and not matter as you say - the matter loses mass which becomes energy.

OK, I have to say that most Mensa members are not creationists and we know the being able to do math puzzles does not make us qualified to refute theoretical physics. In fact, we are more likely to not be creationists and to respect Lawrence Krauss than the general population.

YT's related videos throws up often hilarious results. Currently top rec is Mr Juby's Evolution pwnage compo results. Sigh.

@paulchartley - I can second that. When i was 18 i scored a mental score on a Mensa test. I think i was offered a free membership or some crap too. The fact of the matter was at the time I was thick as shit (which only an education could teach me, in retrospect that is). If you have a propensity towards spatial awareness, patterns and arithmetic then you are bound to do well in Mensa tests. Also a week or two of doing tests like that can cause huge increases in scores.

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