This channel is starting to grow on me. I like it... and i have questions... i got slapped and spanked too many times for asking questions when i was in a super gay engagement to Jesus... Part of the bride of Christ... Doesn't God know he can't be eternal, immutable, and start creating... Or destroy any of it... And repent... God has to repent too much to be taken seriously.

Why does does the creator demand penis parts? What's he doing with his foreskin collection? What will Jesus do since what 1 generation does in moderation the next takes to an excess?

Thank you for proving there was a designer and God exists

Ben fatto!!

Great work!

I picture the guy asking the questions as Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny wearing that ridiculous suit and if possible it makes it even funnier!

Whales dropping out of the sky. Is that a Hitchhiker's Guide reference?

Would anyone else like to see a series of objects having their evolutions briefly summerized like this?

_______ ^ ^ This 3 part table is irreducibly complex, right? If you remove either of the blocks holding it up, it fails to be a table. But watch this: n nn nnn nnnn _______ nnnn _______ ^nnn _______ ^nn^ _______ ^n ^ _______ ^ ^ Each step made it a progressively better balance of surface to stack things on and material requirement. An irreducibly complex object was made through single incremental steps.

My first thought about Behe's argument is that even if a mousetrap were "irreducibly complex," it would not mean that e.g. mice did not evolve by natural selection, because in fact mouse traps are not mice. It just sounds like a non-sequitur. This counterargument kind of sounds like "A mouse trap is actually not irreducibly complex, so whatever you thought it would imply if it was irreducibly complex is an invalid conclusion." But reading some of your comments, you seem to intend that "irreducible complexity" is a hopeless/meaningless concept. I think that, indeed, the concept as intended by Behe is not useful, because it's shaped so as to try to prove something false. But there are interesting similar concepts. Like, in Conway's Game of Life, there are certain patterns that are not possible to obtain by evolving any previous board state. (Funnily, given the subject of Creationism, such a pattern is called a "Garden of Eden.") But, well, since the presence of such a pattern means the board cannot have any previous states, and our universe does have "previous states" (the past), there is no direct analog of this in real life that actually exists. (This last part should not be taken to mean that "irreducible complexity" doesn't exist, whatever it means, just that "Gardens of Eden" don't exist. I wrote it specifically in case someone reads that "irreducible complexity" can be likened to a serious-sounding mathematical concept of which theoretical instances exist, and concludes that real instances could totally also exist in a way that lends credence to Behe's argument.)

There’s theories on what could’ve been done with populating of the earth but all are possible

He made the animals before he made Adam then he saw that Adam needed a helper so he made eve out of Adam

"It's too complex to be reduced" is typically code for "I don't understand how it could be reduced, therefore I'm claiming it's impossible."

You didn't solve anything. You still started with a lidded box that is irreducibly complex, and let's not foeget the ten-thousand other things that make the box exist, work, and have purpose, all of which mist exist for even the simple box to be there. The mousetrap is irreducibly complex, and pretending that it could have started as an entirely different thing doesn't fix that. Especially since you'd have to imagine it. Why not just show the wvidence of progress from a "light-sensitivd cell" to a multi-million connection eye? Because you can't, nor can you even simulate such a thing within the boundaries of natural law. Things fall down, they don't build up. A child understands this, but not an evolutionist.

That is freakin' brilliant. Subscribed, and I'll be watching more of your content.

"irreducibly complex" is basically an argument from ignorance I think? "I don't see how it could be reduced, so it cannot be reduced".

I liked the dissertation on nothing.

Step 1 requires constant interference from an outside agent. It's parts are not: 1 box + 1 lid. It's parts are: 1 box + 1 lid + 1 human. Therefore step 1 is likely to be selected against.

Genuinely thought this was real for a second

If we are to have free will and be able to make an honest choice to believe in god with our heart and mind, we need the facts. If we don't know the factual options, we can't make a free decision. And if god provided evidence that he existed, we wouldn't be able to make a choice whether or not to believe in him, because it would be self evident. If, however, god wants us to have free will to WORSHIP him or not, then he must make his existence self evident according to the highest standard of human and scientific evidence AND further evidence that he is worthy of worship. And he better have a good, rational and well-motivated reason for wanting worship (I certainly can't think of a reason to worship anyone).

I thought this would be a video about elegant engineering, and instead it's about refuting idiots on the internet.

Creationists are created to test scientists' patience.

I have never met an intelligent religious person. Neither have the people in charge, and that's why they want to teach religion in schools, lol.

Wow, its almost like... Even mousetraps didn't appear originally in their modern form, and evolved over time. Just not by natural selection

You remind me of Joe Pesci when he goes off on someone.

Too funny.

...also, science doesn't prove anything. That's why we have theories of natural selection, gravity and the germ theory of disease, which is why we have idiots saying - "It's only a theory!"

Well, I didn't know that, I am not a native speaker though, and most of my english I learned myself because schools in ussr sucked as everything else.

Response to this video: 1:48 Yes. Because most of the bible is not meant to be taken literally, take the parables for instance. 2:20 Name some mistakes 2:21 If you're referring to the Canaanites, then there is a good explanation for that. 2:25 The regulations regarding slaves in Exodus 21, far from being inhumane, would have been far more humane and protective of the slave in Israel than in any of the surrounding nations. 2:30 Slavery in Israel was often a means for foreigners to find refuge and sustenance within the community, although it still carried a significant power imbalance. In Leviticus 25:46, we see the concept of inheritance in relation to slaves. This means that foreign slaves could become part of an Israelite household and share in the blessings and responsibilities of the family. While this may not justify the institution of slavery, it does reflect a certain degree of integration and care for the well-being of slaves within Israelite society. If you look at the historical context of Leviticus 25:44-46 the way they treat slaves is great. I seem to find that most atheists like you grow up with catholic school/church backgrounds. 6:30 thats just not how it works. I don't know too much about Catholicism but all you need to do to go to heaven is accept Jesus and repent meaningfully. Catholicism seems to have it wrong. If you want to be forgiven of sins you just need to repent meaningfully, in private or public, at any time. it doesn't matter. 8:25 If your actively committing sins and not even trying to stop then your doing something wrong. If you actively sin and know you are going to, but think your fine because you can repent, then your not actually repenting, because you don't mean it. 9:05 You don't need to do the communion. 9:45 Yes, only if you don't care about your relationship with god. 9:50 You didnt sound so sure about that 10:20 Asking for people to worship you if you created them is not a fragile ego 🤣 10:27 and 2 humans is all we needed to become a race. 10:50 I doubt he "needed to" 11:04 Why does that mean he can't be all loving and all powerful? 11:52 and why can't that be done while God and satan exist?

I was also raised Roman Catholic, I was even an altar boy. I once asked the priest how many wafers I would have to eat to eat a whole Jesus. I got a pretty stern talking to although I maintained that it was a valid question. I always thought that confession was a really weird thing. Why couldn't I just confess to God directly and then he could just forgive me and be done with it? The fact that the church placed such a huge emphasis on the Catechism bothered me when I got older and I eventually left the church to find one that better fit with what I believed. My wife and I were married in a Lutheran church and attended one regularly for many years. All three of our kids were baptized, or I guess Christened would be more accurate. I would say the prayer at the beginning of the service and do Bible readings. I even taught a Bible study class for a while. This is ironically when I started to have doubts since much of what I read didn't seem to make a lot of sense. I was not allowed by the Catholic church to be my nephew's godfather because I had left the church. This was the beginning of the end not just for me but my brother. What finally drove me away from religion altogether besides realizing how amazingly fucked up the Bible is, was moving down south and meeting a bunch of Baptists. Never in my life had I met a more judgmental, hypocritical group of people. So, if you're still reading this, thanks for your story and for your channel. Keep up the good work.

"I just LIKE being ignorant"... Explains a lot!

Evidecises!

But if I'm natural selection I don't know any of this. Natural selection is unintelligent. It's not trying to build a better mouse trap. Is it possible to reillustrate this idea but remove intelligence as a factor from the video?

Yes, the argument here is better made. I think that arguing a mouse trap is not a good analogy for biological organisms like bacteria with a complex motor is much better.

Post hoc analysis of a metaphor for cellular biology. Doesn't do much but insistently propose one perspective... on data that isn't even brought up for scrutiny - i.e. you ought to have also provided some analog examples in the known world of organic chemistry etc. Also, your explanation is more illustrative of a guided evolutionary process than of natural selection, which is alleged to be indifferent to the existence of a "mousetrap" organism.

This is the best step-by-step example of explaining how survivor bias works

I was raised as a Conservative Evangelical (and even a Young Earth Creationist), but they could never convince me that self-comfort is inherently sinful. They still got me hate myself for looking at pørn, though.

1000th like!!!!

Irreducible complexity treats the items as if they appeared spontaneously out of thin air. Perhaps the ball just knew to be at the bottom of the valley, or perhaps some other process made it tend towards there...

Read Jesus Christ Superstition by Robert M Price

Having to post this comment again but here is a debunking of this video: 2:18 Jesus is omnipresent in spirit but not flesh. 2:55 exaplanation of the spirit: The Holy Spirit is God Himself, as He works in the world and in our hearts today to accomplish His purposes. (This, incidentally, is why we should refer to the Holy Spirit in personal terms-not as “it” but as “Him”). In other words, just as Jesus was fully God, as well as fully man when He lived on earth, so the Holy Spirit is fully God as He works today. Jesus promised His disciples that after He returned to heaven, the Holy Spirit would come to take His place. He said, “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counsellor to be with you forever-the Spirit of truth” (John 14:16-17). Because He is God, the Holy Spirit is eternal and all-powerful, and He is everywhere. But when we come to Christ and commit our lives to Him, the Spirit also comes to live within us. In fact, before we ever come to Jesus, He is already at work in our hearts, convicting us of our sins and convincing us of the truth of the Gospel. (some people block out the holy spirit in their lives) Thank God that He has not abandoned you, but that He is present within you by His Spirit. Ask Him to guide you when you pray, and also to give you wisdom when you have decisions to make. Ask Him also to help you read the Bible and apply it to your life, and to change you into the person God wants you to be. Most of all, ask Him to help you point others to Jesus. The holy spirit was in the bible before Jesus came to earth: Genesis 1:2, Psalm 51:11, Job 33:4, 1 Samuel 10:10, and more. 4:09 Without the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, we would be without hope and without forgiveness. Isaiah 64:6 teaches us even our righteous acts are like filthy rags. Even on our best days and with our best intentions, without the blood of Jesus, we would deserve death as the punishment for sin. “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 55:6). We did nothing to earn our forgiveness and everything to deserve punishment. But in God’s great love for us, He sent His son and took our punishment upon Himself. Although God is all-merciful, all-powerful, and all-forgiving, God is also holy, righteous, and just. Holiness is incompatible with sin. Our sin completely separates us from God and His holiness demands that sin and rebellion be paid for by punishment. The only penalty or payment for sin is eternal death. If Jesus hadn’t died on the cross to take our place, we would be forever separated from God. We are covered by His blood through His sacrificial death, our sins are paid for, and we no longer have to die an eternal death. We receive eternal life through Jesus Christ. This is why Jesus had to die. Romans 5:10 says, “For since we were restored to friendship with God by the death of his Son while we were still his enemies, we will certainly be delivered from eternal punishment by his life.” God loved us enough to save us from ourselves! If you haven’t asked God for salvation and forgiveness, it’s never too late. Romans 10:9-10 says that “if you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” This doesn’t sound very fair, does it? We want to object. We want to say this sounds like pride and arrogance but it’s not. God chose this way of salvation because He is God. To have another way of salvation, a person must change the goal of salvation itself. And we cannot do that because we are merely human beings created by a mighty God. He chose this salvation through adoption and regeneration in order to have a loving, mentoring relationship with our Creator God. As Adam walked with God, so should we. And now we can because of Jesus! 5:17 heaven might seem boring but thats because your so used to the fun of sin. when your in heaven you will be able to have other things to enjoy. Even if heaven was the most boring place ever (its not), it would still be better than hell. 6:00 onwards just shows where your priorities in life are, and what you enjoy. If thats the case I can really see why you would find heaven boring, and why you dont like the trinity 😬

this video doesnt help me understand why a moustrap is not a good example it just makes me wonder where fully formed boxes came from

Why are creationists arguing against evolution? Couldn't they just say God created evolution and live it at that?

Great video and very good debunking of the idea of irreducable complexity. They always mention the eye as i.c. But you can actually see differnt levels in complexity in different animals living today.

The title was no lie. It was an amusing story. I am so glad i was not raised in a religious household. The thought of going to hell because of masturbation is insane and very harmful especially to young minds. Why would an all powerful and loving god be so petty? Why would a god create beings with those urges in the first place? Makes no sense!

This video made me angry in the best way possible.

Genetics isn't morphology. This argument is outdated.

It has some parallels with my own story.

The other thing that needs to be considered is all the failed and parallel innovations along the way, and running alongside. A box with two doors? That could work, but it's more costly to operate. A spring mechanism with a framework base? It might be too fragile. In evolution, we only arrive at successful ‘design’ because the failures die off.
