In respect to the Israelite writing Genesis not know about sino bacterium, was not the Bible the inspired word of God, even if the writer had not knowledge of these bacterium, shouldn't have God told him to jot them down in the book?

[brettppalmer]

@0riole11 That's my take as well. So what if the ancient writers didn't know of these things? The inspiring Author sure did, right? And, by inspiring these sort of details, he would have assured that we today would know the book could only have come from a divine author. Just like if he had inspired a creation story which aligned with reality!

The contraction of muscles attached to individual hairs on humans (goosebumps) does not prove the theory of evolution.  Muscle contracture on the skin occurs for 2 reasons - reaction of external stimulus (ie. cold), physiological response to emotion (ie. fear). The "goosebump" reaction for both external stimulus and emotional response is the same, much like the formation of tears as an emotional response and reaction of external stumuli (wind). (to be continued, damn character limit)

@absoluteresolute This format is not appropriate for our discussion. I've sent you a PM to continue. Suffice to say you have hardly done justice to the question being asked. I look forward to continuing our conversation in much more conducive format.

Blocking someone who disagrees with your content in civil manner, and now using abusive language at me for pointing out your immature and dogmatic attitude- what a charming individual you are. Perhaps you have spent so much of your life in front of your computer you have forgotten social niceties? I pity your family. Oh and I'll respond to your goosebump fixation once I'm at home and off my iPhone. No doubt you'll keep your blocking threat apparent at the slightest hint of polite, rational deba

[brettppalmer]

@absoluteresolute I'm waiting.....You off your iPhone yet?

[ffsnametaken]

Man, you're criminally underviewed considering the amount of work and your thoroughness in these videos. So I tell people about your channel along with SmilingSkeptic's whenever I get the chance

[brettppalmer]

@Hate4Atheism Heheh...is that right? So, the "original" Hebrew of Genesis actually discusses creation in exact parallel with modern scientific discovery and the hundreds of professional translators, the ones reading the Hebrew (it's impossible to read the "originals" since they don't exist so you can't possibly be referring to THEM because even you've never seen them) just can't seem to get that parallel reflected in modern English? Is that SERIOUSLY what you are trying to argue?

@albusai but surely 2011 years ago you were there to see someone beeing stapled to a cross.

[mojoswoptopz]

Dam, I keep having to repeat your video to understand it haha so much scientific fact to keep up with! Either tat or the 6 beers I've had are making an effect one me hehe :D

[randallfe]

@albusai nope but zeus was there

[albusai]

360 millions years ago? ahhahah you guys where there ?

[saintpine]

So god does need TIME to produce something, and he need to see his creation to come to the conclusion that it's good ?

Was he expecting failures ?

Wasn't he capable of knowing beforehand that his creation would be good.

I don't want to bash Your video in any way. I just wanted to point out that at 4:17, You say the earth would plunge into darkness, when the light was created on day one.

I'm not saying, that I believe it to be truth. Only that You can't say, that there was no light in the creation fairytale at that time.

Even with no words to describe bacteria, it would have made a lot more sense to say something like "tiny, simple, plants" or "tiny, simple, creatures" (not sure what the Hebrew words for those are). It would have been ambiguous, but at least not directly contradictory to how the world actually is.

Brilliant video, truly excellent, but one minor point, it's "herbs" not "erbs," we're not french :P
