Creationist Arguments

After numerous exchanges with young Earth creationists, I decided to start making my own videos about them. This is the first of many to come...

"Actually, there's nothing [logical] about the beginning of the universe as we know it. Much of it is very counterintuitive. "

Hmmm well thats the first thing I think I can agree with you on.

"Wait a minute! You just claimed that most scientists believe in god. Now your claiming science to be a tool in the hands of maligned forces?"

Science is Science, it is the dishonest, closed minded, arrogant, humanist, so-called scientists that are the tools.

"Science is Science, it is the dishonest, closed minded, arrogant, humanist, so-called scientists that are the tools."

And exactly how is it that the minority of scientists are able to keep the majority of scientists from establishing empirical observations of the divine?

What you fail to realize is that the true measure of being a scientist is the ability to recognize, and account for, personal bias. That's what makes the scientific method (and theories) so accurate.

@markgg1 I agree. I find it rather amusing when creationists trot out that old mule. I can provide them with hundreds, if not thousands of examples (most rather simple) of decreasing entropy and when I do, they disappear or attempt to change the subject. They HATE being shown they are wrong. I LOVE to shake their faith (creationists, that is). I consider it obligatory.

Exactly just wanted to point that out in case you didn't know :>

Frankly who need/wants god, everything is so much cooler without him :>

"Actually :> It does happen from time to time, something can come from nothing, but the total energy must equal 0, and they never last for long."

Indeed. Guess what the total energy of the universe is estimated to be?

[wolfwing1]

Actually :> It does happen from time to time, something can come from nothing, but the total energy must equal 0, and they never last for long. I was reading something about that in a book refeuting intelligent design and creationisim, and heard it from a few other sources. Of course they likly arn't coming form nothing, but matter/energy can appear from apparently nothing.

One thing I heard was that the matter/antimatter must balance out for it to happen. Not researched it yet but want to

azdjoe It's hard to prove that leprachauns don't exist. It's hard to prove there's no god. But it's easy to prove the Christian God doesn't exist. It is logically impossible that any being can have the following characteristics: 1- all-knowing 2- all-powerful 3- actively involved in human affairs 4- loving in nature. 1 and 2 and 3 are consistent. 1 and 3 and 4 can be consistent. But to see evil and choose not to stop it one cannot be loving.

I "deny this" because of lack of evidence, not because of what music I listen to, what an absurd statement.

The only logical answer is that matter and energy have always existed, which follows the law of conservation. If you are asking what caused the big bang to occur, we simply do not know as of right know and it would be unscientific to attempt to answer that question. It may have been a collision of 2 molecules, but that is only speculation.

Fact: Something having objective reality that can be verified according to an established standard of evaluation.

They must be able to be observed by everyone, or they must be falsifiable or able to be tested. Yes interpretatons can be flawed, this is why we have many experiments by different people to ensure authenticity.

Flawed humans? You mean the people who wrote the bible? It didn't fall from the sky.

[azdjoe]

Yes I can;easily. God is the uncaused first cause. Logically there has to be one. Logically it cannot be the Universe but must be an intelligent creative force. God existence transcends your understanding. Simply put, things cannot create themselves. God is the simpliest, only logical conclusion. Everything else is a dishonest attempt to make themself God. You'd have to be someone so ridiculous you prb listen to System of a down or Disturbed or some other nihlistic emo crap to deny this.

[0HI0STATE18]

You seem to lack the basic concept of what a scientific theory is. "Still a theory", There is a law of gravity and a theory of gravity. A theory that is not well established is not a theory, it is a hypothesis.

99% Of christians are deluded. Noah, a man who lived in the 900's of age, yeah that sounds logical.
