In this video, we look at some outright lies and general creationist assbaggery about Venus, straight from the mouth of the good preacher, Spike Psarris.

Dr. James Kasting's website, with plenty of great research to read, can be found here: http://www.geosc.psu.edu/~kasting/PersonalPage/Kasting.htm
Specifically, the paper of direct interest can be downloaded here: http://www.geosc.psu.edu/~kasting/PersonalPage/Pdf/Icarus_88.pdf
If you don't mind following a little atmospheric science, it's a highly recommended read.

*About Venus' collision:
Of course, we cannot directly observe events in the Solar System which happened millions of millenia ago. Current theory is a product of indirect evidence (such as the retrograde motion or high axial tilt - depending on how you look at it) combined with models for planet formation. It's harder to reconcile Venus with biblical creation though, because your conclusion will be in the region of the creator deliberately attempting to confuse its creation, and stifle their academic progress; hardly a loving act. Studying the atmospheric composition of Venus further will shed some light on its ancient history. I would suggest the greatest puzzles with Venus are its highly circular orbit (also a property of fellow freak planet, Uranus) and the fact that it has no moons (which are thought to be products of catastrophic collisions). The planet may well have formed as the result of two large objects actually 'sticking' together. I myself, and the scientific community have no intention of hiding these questions from the public. But I ask that you remember that a gap in our knowledge about something, particularly with no direct evidence, in no way validates jumping to wild conclusions. Future generations will be laughing at people like Spike even harder than we are now.

They were kind enough to give me a shout out recently and I'd like to return the favour (but recorded this video before I saw theirs - d'oh!)

  • @jairedgros That may be so, but at least we know more than creationists.

    ROCK ON!

  • It's not a duck, it's a swan...Duh.

  • Venus was hit by a very large meteor and hit so hard that change direction of rotation of the planet. Also the collision had form vapor rock and Venus has been cooling down the last thousands of years. This theory was on the Discovery Channel.

  • The Duck! Yes! He must be best friends with the teapot!

  • tak for disse videoér.

  • There were quite some collisions in the old days huh.

  • @jairedgros Um, what are you basing this on?

  • not sure why the preacher is talking about evolution since evolution is biology and it is not astronomy

  • @jairedgros You know what I like about statements like this; since there is no judgement day or hell to go to, there's is no real threat here. All your trying to do is get me riled up. It doesn't work. Why? Because when I die, I won't know it, and there will be no punishment, So, you can go on all you like; I'm going catch a buzz, play my guitar (it's my livelihood), and get laid. I do it ALL the time and have gotten away with it for decades. "Sex, drugs, and rock & roll"...Amen!

  • @Gekkibi When Lytton Strachey was interviewed by the Conscienious Objectors Board for refusing to fight in WW1 he was asked, 'What would you do if a German soldier attempted to rape your sister?' He replied, 'I would endeavor to place myself between them'.
