How To Argue With A Creationist - Part 1

This is part one of my new series, "How To Argue With A Creationist". I give some tips that will help you dig down to the center of creationist arguments and not let yourself go around in circles any more than is absolutely necessary!

Update: Part Two is complete!

If I didn't make it clear enough in the video, I don't consider most creationists to be "bad people", unless they are making money peddling their pseudo-science like Ray Comfort or Kirk Cameron. They simply either do not have the information required to understand evolution, or they believe the fate of their soul rests on not believing that evolution occurred.

I was surprised to see that there was nothing with this same title on YouTube already actually. There was "How to argue with a Christian", or something like that that. Maybe this will help some people!

[Zaunstar]

@cubednation Hah! Nice. Only took a couple years. Thanks.

[JesusFanatic8]

@Zaunstar Now why would I believe the word of man who don't have the Holy Spirit within them?

[Zaunstar]

@JesusFanatic8 Why would I believe the word of someone that believes in things without evidence of a basis for that belief?

[JesusFanatic8]

@Zaunstar If you do not believe in the Bible then check this out. People think that the Bible is outdated and all but how is it outdated if the prophecies that God showed John in his vision has come and is still coming into existence. In Revelation 9:11 the Locusts (helicopters) had a king who was the angel of the bottomless pitt (oil refinery). His name in the Hebrew language is Abaddon and in the Greek language is Apollyon.(Abaddon, Apollyon both mean the destroyer) Saddam means "Destroyer"

[Zaunstar]

@JesusFanatic8 Ok, that's ridiculous. Christians use the same prophecies over and over to fit the situation. It's nonsense. Google "prophetic language" and learn how it applies to ALL religions, and their "predictions".

Laws of Creation/Intelligent Design

1st- something can come from nothing as long as God did it.

2nd- energy can be created and destroyed.

3rd- if it walks, talks, looks, sounds, tastes and smells like a Duck and says it's a Duck, it's Not.

4th- if you don't understand something, God did it.

5th- when all logic, reason and common sense are against you, quote the Bible.

6th- the Bible is proof that the Bible is true so quoting the bible is fact.

7th- science is a worldwide conspiracy

The real question is, why argue?

[PrlJam27]

you sir, are a credit to our species!!

[913lalilulelo]

people have their own beliefs why change them let whoever believe whatever i'm a Christian and i don't agree with everyone but i also don't walk around saying i'm right about everything 

[TheFigmentgirl]

@JesusFanatic - You believe that Revalations is a 2000 year old prophecy that he been carried through time and translated and retranslated to predict the reign of Saddam Hussein???? That guy did a lot of bad but was absolutely not the most awful person our world has seen even in just the last 100 years (Hilter). I know nothing I can do will change your belief, but that does not mean you aren't greatly misled.

FACT: the first group of organisms listed in Lev 11:13-19- are members of the CLASS Aves: birds.

FACT: the last organism listed in Lev 11:-19 is a member of the CLASS Mamalia: the bat.

FACT: birds are NOT members of the CLASS Mamalia.

CONCLUSION: the bat is NOT a bird.

If Leviticus is un-reliable as a taxonmic source, then from the text of Leviticus 11:13-19, and the Scientific Classification System, LOGICALLY CONCLUDE that the bat is a bird...

You're not logical you're a dork

[PrinceWalter]

The "flyers" (CLV) or "winged" (Heb oph) of Leviticus 11.

1. KINGDOM. Animalia. 11:13-23.

2. PHYLUM Chordata. 11:13-19. / PHYLUM Arthropoda. 11:20-23.

3. CLASS Aves. 11:13-19-. / CLASS Mamalia. 11:-19. / CLASS Insecta. 11:20-23.

“and there was NOT a man to till the ground.” (~R). Gen 2:5.

THEREFORE, IF the “men and women” “created” on the sixth day were the first humans (P), THEN they were foragers (Q).

(P -> Q) v (P -> R) : P -> (Q ^ R)

~R

+ P -> Q

VALID REASONING.

ARCHEOLOGICALLY & ANTHROPOLOGICALLY SOUND

New thinking? No, you just need to be logical.

[PrinceWalter]

Don't blaspheme "logic".

Nowhere does Genesis 2 claim to be re-telling the story of the Sixth Day.

Gen 1:25-27. Gen 2:5 Gen 2:7-9, 15-17, 18-19.

P: the first humans Gen 1:25-27.

Q: foragers

R: tillers of the ground (agriculture Gen 4:2-3 "the fruit of the ground")

~R: NOT tillers of the ground Gen 2:5.

IF the “men and women” “created” on the Sixth Day were the first humans (P), THEN they were foragers (Q), OR they were tillers of the ground (R). Gen 1:25-27.
