Aronra The Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism -- Complete Series

This an excellent series of educational videos by Youtube user Aronra. http://www.youtube.com/user/AronRa
In addition to providing a great deal of interesting information on evolution, these videos explore the various arguments used by creationists and the fallacies they contain..

1. Exploring the idea that accepting evolution is tantamount to declaring atheism, or that one need be creationist to be Christian.

2. Exploring the erroneous notion that the holy scriptures were written by God, rather than be subject to the errs of humanity 9:56

3. Exploring the notion of absolute truth and how revealing that would actually more of a fallacy than regular truth. 19:55

4. My attempt to explain empirical inquiry as a rational alternative to the false propaganda propagated on faith. 29:54

5. Disputing the canard that evolution is a religion, and therefore somehow equal to creationism. 39:53

6. Taking on common Creationist canards relating to what evolution is and isn't, and what it does or doesn't depend on or relate to. 49:52

7. This one deals with the notion that everything must have an intelligently-designed purpose, or it must be random accidents. 59:51

8. This one deals with mutations and "information". 1:09:50

9. Listing just a handful of the myriad transitional species we've found, and that creationists insist do not exist or somehow still don't count. 1:19:49

10. An abbreviated introductory primer to cladistic phylogenetics, the most compelling and overwhelming evidence of evolution and our place in nature. 1:30:18

11. An abbreviated introductory primer to classicist phylogenetic, the most compelling and overwhelming evidence of evolution and our place in nature. 1:40:33

12. An abbreviated introductory primer to classicist phylogenetic, the most compelling and overwhelming evidence of evolution and our place in nature. 1:50:47

13. Every "evolutionist hoax" ever alleged was either fabricated or misrepresented to such a degree that each contributes to a growing list of creationist frauds. 2:01:21

14(a). The 1st of two-part tirade about creationists' claims of having evidence, when all they really have are baseless assertions and assumed conclusions supported only by frauds and fallacies. 2:12:20

14(b). The 2nd half of a two-part tirade about creationists' claims of having evidence, when all they really have are baseless assertions and assumed conclusions supported only by frauds and fallacies. 2:22:20

15 (a) The first of a two-part final installment to this series, explaining what the words, hypothesis, fact, law, and Theory actually are, rather than what creationists want us to think they are. Hint: a scientific theory isn't a guess, but an explicative study of real phenomenon. 2:32:41

15(b) The second of a two-part explanation of how a scientific theory differs from the uncertain speculation which creationists would like to believe it is. Although this is the final installment to this series, the playlist will also include a sort of epilogue episode which isn't a necessarily 'foundational falsehood' but is still relevant to the topic. 2:43:37

Google Observed Instances of Speciation, click on the first link, and scroll down to section 5.0 and it shows you multiple exmaples of speciation, aka macroevolution. The evolution of new species.

Any idiot can yeah so? But did YOU fact check anything substantive from the vid or are you just rejecting the evidence out of hand like most Creationists? There are hundreds if not thousands of interstitial transition fossils. MANY varieties appear for Dinosaur to Bird, Reptile to Mammal, Ape to Homonid, Legged Mammals to Whales. The list goes on & on with more being added all the time. Didn't you go to high school? Whats that? Farts = god? I don't agree. At least flatulence is real! MMwwa!

[utubetommy]

Nobel Prize??? Who's your hero? Obama? I'm still wondering what he and Al Gore did to warrant it. Some prizes have lost their luster. And btw, have a college degree and have been a farmer, clothing salesman, Marine, appliance repairman, machinist (made parts for Gatling guns; that should make your day) and 3D design drafter before retiring. I can design an assembly, do the 3D drawings, determine materials and processes, and make what I design on modern machine tools. HS grad? Ha, Ha.

[utubetommy]

Any idiot can make a video... Michael Moore proved that. There are two evolutionary theory: Micro evolution is change within a species. That has been shown to happen. Macro evolution is change from one species to another. That has NEVER been proven to happen. Oh, wait... I think I'm evolving into a super-intelligent, omnipotent being who sees all, knows all... never mind... it was just gas... Took an antacid tablet and it went away. Want one???

[Joszef Rviz]

You're so right on Jacob...I don't think he watched any of it and if he did it went right over his head. There is a lot of info and its coming fast but c'mon. There is a pause button right? Advice for Tomcat. Hit pause...then fact check. Follow the evidence to its conclusion and then decide if you still want to have full faith in god.

[Joszef Rviz]

Oh, and I don't care who is smarter than me. I think for myself based on the evidence. And besides you don't have to be a Nobel Prize winning scientist to understand basic biology, chemistry, genetics et al. Um, are you a high school graduate?

[Joszef Rviz]

What I would prefer? ok. I prefer to see the cosmos for what it is so far as we can see this. I don't see evidence for religious gods there AND THEREFORE I don't need to PUT A GOD in the sky good or bad to watch over me. You can believe in god and accept the facts of evolution. What is b.s. to me, is your misunderstanding of evolution. Evolution is not an assumption. It is premised on evidence. LOTS of evidence. Did you not even watch this vid? Check it out. Refute evolution if you can.

[utubetommy]

Who would you rather have for a cosmic overseer? Obama? Hitler? Stalin? Lenin? Mao? Pol Pot? The evil in this world is done BY men and women TO other men and women. As far as an omnipotent being who created the universe, it is more believable than the weak assumption that all life started by shit luck from the "primordial ooze". What bullshit. Look in the mirror, kid... there are LOTS of people smarter than either of us, and none have scratched the surface of science, even einstein.

[Glagoroth]

The one who was promised a reward and threatened with a beating or the kid who did good because it was the good? We don't know if kid A is good, because his intentions could have been influenced by the fact that he hated beatings. When people say they NEED a moral authority to do good or know what good is, I remember kid A.

[Glagoroth]

would be no need for these things. Most non-believers don't see that happening in the world they live in and therefore simply don't believe. There is something more special about doing good for the sake of doing good rather than to escape punishment. Imagine a mother with two kids. She tells kid A to do good and he will get a cookie, do bad and he will get a spanking, she simply tells kid B to do good. She sees both kids did good. Who do you think is more likely the better child?-->
