Interview with Creationist Street Preacher #2

I managed to get an interview with a creationist lookalike of Matt Dillahunty.
Interesting moments:
1:45 "is disbelief in evolution an essential part of Christianity?"

2:50 "if you found compelling evidence for evolution would you believe God didn't exist, or would you believe you had a misinterpretation?"

4:40 "do you think the bible really comments on whether or not evolution is true?:

4:55 "So do you think scientific issues are all discussed in the Bible?"

7:25 "does the theory of evolution claim that something came from nothing?"

7:41 "what is the definition of evolution?"

8:22 "what is the glory in evolution?"

8:30 "Does evolution mean you are just mundane?"

8:38 - 8:56 My favorite part of the video.

9:09 "Is evolution equated with 'anti-God' in the public sphere?

Absolutely hilarious.I have never seen two Christians at such odds.I could feel the unmistakable tension from the Creationist towards Epydemic2020 and his views of his brand of Whitewashed Liberal Christianity.I come from the old school teachings of Christianity and have seen it's decline in its founding beliefs to adapt to humanity's intellectual progress.There is hope for humanity yet.

"whitewashed liberal Christianity" lol. I am actually quite conservative, I just don't interpret Genesis in a strange way. I'll make a vid on the reasons for my beliefs differing from his eventually.

The problem I see in saying genesis is speaking of literal 24hour periods of time is that the seventh day is still continuing now and so the days cannot be 24 hours, not only that but it's hard to even interpret genesis since it's poetic and vague in nature, for instance it says God was walking in the cool of the day through the garden, yet God is immaterial and so we find metaphor in the stories which makes it difficult to take in a wooden box fashion. Just my thoughts on the matter.

@95TurboSol

I'm glad you commented. You explained it a bit differently, and perhaps better, than I had been doing.

dude you got a long ass neck. In the beginning of the video you could put a giraffe to shame with it.

Here we go with the "science keeps changing" nonsense. Yes, science gets it better and better. Like walking toward some moving thing in the background, as you get closer - you see its a person. Oh you changed your mind, first it was a "thing" now its a "person". As you get closer you see its a man. Oh now you changed your mind again - first a "thing" then a "person" and now a "man". And you get closer and you see it is Epydemic2020 - dang can't science ever get it right?

@1GodOnlyOne The germ theory of disease doesn't say anything about the beginning of the universe either because it's not a theory of that. Likewise, evolution isn't a theory of the beginning of the universe. That isn't a fault. It's just not what it's intended to explain.

[cavalrycome]

@1GodOnlyOne Scientists don't use the term 'theory' to mean an uncertain or unproven idea in the way that lay people use it. It simply means "an explanatory framework" and even after confirmed by evidence, a theory doesn't graduate to being a 'law'. A 'law' is a precise mathematical statement about a phenomenon and may or may not be correct. For example, Newton's laws of motion match observations very closely, but turn out to be slightly inaccurate at very large and small scales.

@1GodOnlyOne The theory of evolution by natural selection doesn't claim that a member of one species ever gave birth to a member of another. With each generation there are very minor differences as between you and your own parents. These small differences add up to big differences over very many generations, and this is exactly what we have observed in the breeding of domestic animals like dogs - every breed of which was breed from a wolf ancestor in very recent history.

0:52 "For each of the days of creation, you have an evening and a morning..." At any particular point in time, it is simultaneously morning in some parts of the world and evening in others. In Genesis 1, the phrase "And there was evening, and there was morning" is repeated stylistically to mark the 'days' suggesting that God was physically located in a specific place on the surface, that the author lacked any awareness of the simultaneity issue, or that it was just meant as a poetic flourish.

Well evolution does not disprove god at all after all in the bible it says god created us from the earth and it also says that god created eve from adams rib sounds like evolution to me. I mean i really dont believe in evolution but it certainly does not disprove god

[BadLilNinja]

Good video! Always good to see people asking the big questions!

[95TurboSol]

@1GodOnlyOne I didn't make it up lol, the seventh day in genesis is not ended with a morning and evening like all the other days are and says "And God rested on the seventh day from all His works". Then in Hebrews 4:1-11 it says the seventh day of rest is still being interred through faith and some still have not because of disobedience. There is much debate on these passages but you can check them out and study them yourself and come to your own conclusion.
