Little known fact:. A literal translation of Genesis from the dead sea scrolls reads: "God said let there be a particle with a probability wave function, which travels in a vacuum at a speed of 299,792,458 meters per second, which shall be called a 'photon,' and commonly referred to collectively as 'light.'"
My 15yr old son, who has never been subjected to religious indoctrination , looks at men like Ham, and says he is not sure if they are con-men or just idiots . It is actually very enlightening to watch and listen to kids like him as they struggle to figure out how adults could believe such ridiculous nonsense.
They are con-men, undeniably. Notice how like every other thing they talk about on their show they amazingly have a crappy book written about it that they plug? It is all about money.
Adults sometimes struggle with the same question,especially lately. I hope that you and your son have successfully gotten through our country's recent events. I also wonder if your son reached a decision. Hope your family's doing well. Peace
Scientific dating is a "story" they don't believe, but believe the earth is 6000 years old as "biblical fact". I think I just facepalmed myself into a coma.
Earth was created specially for human beings.Which is why 70% of it is covered with deep salt water seas. And a large proportion of the land masses are barren desert, ice caps, high mountains, swamps, permafrost tundra etc.(I know the Creationist rebuttal - it was once all lovely garden but a woman was disobedient so tough luck).
At the church that I grew up in they said that the curse put on Cain (the mark) after he murdered Abel was that God made him black. Apparently Cain was "marked" so that people could identify him and not harm him or get the harm returned sevenfold. Even in Sunday School I was like "What other people?!?!?!". When Cain was marked there were only 3 living humans in existence... pretty sure everyone would know who Cain was with or without a mark.
+Ryan Swanson Some like to say that humans and animals existed outside the garden but they were brutal and rough and not perfect and pure like Adam and Eve. Otherwise the only way for them to repopulate the Earth would be for Cain as well as Adam to have lots of sex with Eve and then when those daughters are born to have lots of sex with them when they come of age. And we all know that genetic bottlenecks are bad.
*@Uma Chan* Can you imagine the panic Eve must have gone through when she realized that her one good son is dead and she currently owns the *ONLY* vagina? Holy shit! Cain and Adam are just circling her like hungry wolves. According to the Bible she had more children including daughters. Imagine the relief Eve had when she popped out another twat out of her twat. It may have been the 1st female orgasm.
+Ryan Swanson LOL! Then she realizes that she still needs to do this until her daughter turns 14 or something and prays to God to only give her daughters so at least, after 14 years of her husband and son taking turns she'll get *some* relief. Now excuse me while I throw up in my mouth for a minute.
*@Uma Chan* Fuck it, I'm going to further torture your sensibilities. Eve pops out her first daughter, thank God... literally! As you said, an immediate problem ensues. She's too young for the horny sons and husband. Eve must hide her until she's around (lets be honest) 9 or 10. She asks her mother "when can I play with the boys?". "Shhh!!!! They'll hear you!" says Eve. Eve continues, "Do you remember when you heard me screaming 'oh God, make it stop!!!'?" The daughter replies, "yes momma, it's the pain during birth". "No sweet child, I wasn't giving birth" Eve responded. "We have... lets call it a 'biscuit' sweetheart. "What's that mum?" says Urfuqued. "Shh!!!" replies Eve. "Hey Adam, what's hanging?" Adam replies, "I feel something, so I need something!". "Would you like some fig stew?" Eve says. "No! I want some gravy... with biscuits, ain't that right Cain, Cleetus, Jethro, Jar Jar, and Joe?!?!?" I'll stop now but thus is the beautiful Biblical story of how we came about! It's evolution that's evil!!!
Why do I take a one dimensional avatar of an animated human more seriously than the three dimensional figures of Body, Georgia and Ken Ham of AIG fame? Nevertheless, I know what I'm having for breakfast 🐷🍳
So let me get this straight. Noah got pass out drunk, then his son HAPPENED to see him in that state and God cursed the SON because Noah did something stupid? How is that fair and just?
Oh, no, it's worse than that. Ham saw Noah naked, so Ham's son, Canaan, got cursed by Noah to be a slave. So it was Noah's fault that Ham saw him naked, and yet Canaan got punished with slavery for Noah's drunken nudity.
Don't slip up and leave out some of the crappiness of the story. Ham saw his dad all liquored up and nekkid, and Noah cursed Ham's *son*. And thus it was that Canaan invented the middle finger gesture. And why does a curse laid on by some human lush count anyway? I mean, if I chug some Thunderbird and stagger into my job with no clothes on, can I act all mad and curse my boss to have to transfer his paychecks to my bank account?
+Eric Taylor That is the wrong question. It was seen as very fair and just by the insipid barbarians who made it up to tell other people in their tribes that god OF COURSE hated those pesky Canaanites because their namesake ancestor had done AWFUL things. It was delivering the retrograde justification why they had to invade THAT country and none else... cause Canaan was cursed by his grandfather... an grumpy old alcoholic that had drunken hallucinations of sailing a boat in too much water... The bible LOVES cursing people that had nothing to do with shit for what one of their great great great great great .... ancestors had done... Look at Adam and Eve, Adam agreed with "taking the bite challenge" and got to work for his food. Eve was talked into it by god's own district attorney (Satan means Tester or accuser and was also a term in jewish law) and got the "present" for every girl after her that childbirth FUCKING HURTS. The snake got to be hated by females and to crawl on its belly... no idea what it did before, but Ricky Gervais has some nice stuff about that and Christ Matheson's book "the story of god" has a similar approach...
... and of course, "survival of the fittest" is already a distortion. It invokes this mental picture of a gold medalist in fitness being the only one to survive and have offspring, which is ridiculous. If anything, the truth is more like survival of the barely sufficiently fit but sufficiently lucky. Anything further comes only with statistics, large numbers, and many generations. In any case, empathy and altruism are pretty useful for survival, so it's not all that hard to understand how they would work - if you're really honestly looking for an explanation. Otherwise, of course, you'll just reject any explanation, no matter how obvious, because you've already decided there can be no explanation.
Fittest means, of that particular group & that particular ecology. In Africa, it's the giraffe with the longest neck. The elephant with the longest trunk. The crock able to hide the best. The zebra able to zebra the best.
Survival of the fittest is about survival of a population - not of an individual. Especially in a population of a social species, the group survives better with altruism at least toward their own. If her faith is all that keeps her from murdering, raping, robbing, or having abortions, I would say for such a sociopath to PLEASE keep their faith. For most of us, we have ethics and morality from both the social contract and from our own sense of right and wrong.
Paul, you are righteous -- and you know it! Love to spend an afternoon with you puzzling over theist. Your manner of speech, vocabulary, and well modulated voice coupled with your encyclopedic knowledge of Christianity make you an ideal spokesperson for truth! Genesis 1:11 Even some atheist have a favorite verse.
Thank you for making these videos. I already had my mind made up but it was just angry shouting. The way you produce your facts is clear, well thought out, and the fact you avoid cursing helps me to more easily share them with people who are on the fence. I look forward to sharing these videos with my family. Thank you for the hard work you have put in toward pointing out what a scam this whole movement is.
When you commented about not needing to be part of something to oppose it, the very first thing that popped into my head was dog fighting rings. So when you said the exact same thing a few seconds later, I had to chuckle. Great minds think alike?
My parents sent me to a Christian High School in my sophomore year. They (my parents) were secular, but thought the school had a good academic reputation. We had to pray before and after every class. Second period was mandatory Bible devotion and accounted for 1\4 of our grades! I dropped out three weeks into my sophomore year when the principal "Morgan Outlaw" threatened to paddle me for being "tardy". The best decision of my life. Religion is a pathological socially sanctioned mental disorder.
Love Richard's lectures.... haven't had a chance to read his books yet, but looking forward to it when i can... for me, I think he is right on with his claims..
anyone else feel like georgia doesnt believe the shit shes spewing but is in too deep to admit it? All the time i hear her correcting people on science but then suddenly spews religious babble like its a cover up
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and take them at their word when they say they believe something, unless there is extremely good reason to doubt their word
It gets almost painful to listen to those people tell such blatant lies. I know that it's difficult to ascertain what they may and may not believe, but they come up with things that are so patently untrue that the alternative is that they are suffering from literal brain damage.
God hates black people. That's why he gave them sickle-cell anaemia. And malaria. It's the curse of Ham. That's why the Babble tells you pigs are unclean animals - to stop you eating ham. Because it's cursed. Meanwhile, back on planet reality, sickle-cell anaemia is an evolutionary adaptation in populations where malaria is endemic. Oops, I forgot, the fucktards claim evolution is fake science.
bdf2718 Actually creationists have moved the goalposts to allow micro evolution. Not sure what their current stance on sickle cell trait would be since it has positive and negative results.
Wait I need green tinted glasses to see leprechauns?!? That explains so much, thanks for letting me know what I was doing wrong now I’m sure to find that pot of gold
@ Paulogia... Paul I would (wood) really like to get one of those "Noah's Ark Ship Builders" t-shirts that Richard was wearing. Since I live in a port city on Lake Erie I think this "wood" be appropriate attire when I'm down at the marina or out on the lake fishing with my friends. Any suggestions on where to find one (or a few) of these shirts ? PS - as always... thanks for all your work in making and posting your clips
Great work as always, Paul! FYI: Don't try to take a picture of the eclipse with your phone; it'll burn out the camera. If you really want to try, do it through a pair of eclipse glasses.
Also, i'm trying to get a presentation done soon but a little behind due to a bad encounter of poison ivy and sick dog. Where would you recommend for fact and citation checks that are unbiased?
As they should, they are denouncing bigotry based on skin color. But they teach that people that don't believe as they do deserve hell. This is also bigotry.
The entire creationist argument is "but how do you know". When I was a creationist all these arguments sounded so good, but one day I woke up, and it just all sounded ridiculous. Now when I hear them talk it's nothing but cringe. Lots of cringe.
It's fascinating how she will allow herself to believe we are made up more of microbes then actual cells but then cannot accept that the base elements we are made of came from exploding stars. Despite equal evidence for both. There is truly no way to predict whether they will accept a topic or ridicule it.
@14:17 "You actually have more bacterial cells that make up your human body than human cells... which is kind of a cool thought." Ok, so the idea that we share an ancestor with chimpanzees and gorillas, is awful, but the idea that we're more bacteria than human is cool. I say if we teach kids that we're bacteria, then they will act like bacteria!
It's hard to understand the lengths religious people will go to when it comes to protecting their myth. You did a nice job on your commentary. I'm an atheist so I guess I have been duped too.
Hey Paulogia, I'm familiar with many of the argument you cover; but, it's your perspective I appreciate most. Your Bullshit Detection Kit is most impressive. You're able to pick up on little things that give away the entirety of their dishonesty. It may be a poor reference, but you're like like a Borg separated from the hive, fighting to regain their humanity. Great work, when Aron had to sit back and take your soft spoken facts, I was hooked. Keep it up!
COMPLETELY unrelated to any subjects in the video: It's 2017. Why do they PRINT all these stories when a cheap tablet would suffice? They kill a LOT of trees to make these videos. There's a LAPTOP RIGHT THERE!
As John Corvino says, "When people tell me homosexuality is is bad because it isn't 'natural', because 'The pieces don't fit.' I tell them..." (gets flat, yet significant look on his face) "Yes they do."
Jeff Goldbloom proved the seat belt picture in Jurassic Park 20 years ago. He gets into the helicopter, he tries to buckle his belt but he has two "male" ends, so he ties them into an overhand knot. It's classic foreshadowing and why the hell not.
Canaan was the eponym for the Canaanites , the inhabitants of the land of Canaan, whom the Israelites were supposed to destroy. It was meant to justify that. That's what that curse was about.
I think I'm going to grab the bit about altruism & lay out what we know about the subject (or what we offer as hypotheses). And give you a shout out in the process, of course.
I thought that black people were supposed to be descendants of Cain. {Disclaimer: this isn't what I think but what people of the past thought, including the Mormons.}
I've heard that version, too, but my understanding is that the 'Curse of Ham' version is more widely accepted. In fact (so I've read), the name Ham (pronounced with a hard 'H') is the source* of the ancient Egyptian words _khem_ ('black') and _Kemet_ ('Egypt'). Likewise, the name of Noah's son Shem is the source of our term 'semitic'. Noah's third son, Japheth, is supposedly the progenitor of the Turkish and European peoples. * It's entirely possible, and probably more likely, that the words designating those peoples (at least the Shemites/Semites and Hamites/Khemites) existed before the Noah story was composed, and that the sons were named after the peoples they supposedly gave rise to. Several of Noah's grandchildren and great grandchildren have names recognizably related to tribes well known from the Bible or secular history: Shem's son Ashur begat the Assyrians; his son Aram begat the Aramaic-speaking Arameans; his son Lud begat the Lydians; Ham's son Canaan begat the Canaanites; Canaan's son Sidon begat the Phoenicians, whose capital city was Sidon; Canaan's son Heth begat the Hittites. . . . The general idea being that, like other ancient mythologies purposing to explain natural phenomena like fire or wind, large parts of ancient Hebrew mythology purposed to explain the ethnic composition of the region they inhabited.
I know its wrong, but that Noah's Ark tee shirt actually is kind of cool. I mean, if some old guy and his kids could build a ship to a higher standard than the shipwrights of Bath, Maine, that really would be something. If.
This channel, *Paulogia* , cannot be a religion. But according to AIG *Paulogiaism* is! I look forward to your listing when *_World Religion and Cults_* produces Volume 4.
NdGT explains that if there is some kind of live outside our planet, is gonna be most likely based on carbon and oxigen (instead of silice, for example) because the percentage of this elements outside in the universe is (almost) the same as in Earth.
I didn't read enough comments to know for certain, but I can't believe that I am the only one who thinks Brody should lay off the energy drinks. Every time I hear Brody speak I keep thinking that Paul is speeding up the video for the sake of time.
They always try to pick apart dating methods, yet even if our idea for the age of the universe was anywhere between 1 million and 5 *billion* years (an insane variance!) it would still be demonstrably *not* 6000 years.
Excellent video! yet, again! You never let us down! Thank you for doing this, and exposing the ignorance of AIG. (I think the lady of the team, is more knowledgeable than she lets on. Not too sure she believes every thing she says. She may be a bit dishonest in her statements.)
The paper on microbes driving altruism in their hosts was absolutely about causation, not correlation. It was basically a simulation - seeing how 2 sets of microbes fared in a population of hosts. 1 set of the microbes could induce altruism in their host to some extent, while the other didn't. The simulation showed that microbes that could induce altruism in their hosts would be significantly more fit because this would increase their spread to new hosts. This means that if microbes are capable of inducing altrustic behaviour in hosts, infection with these microbes would be a good explanation for altruism, because those microbes would stick around. Similarly, since inducing altruism demonstrably increases a microbe's fitness, it might be plausible that some of them have evolved that ability.
They conveniently ignore that Christopher Hitchens said he doesn't believe humans are divided into races. And as far as biology I tend to agree. I didn't reach this conclusion because of the Bible and I'm pretty sure Hitchens didn't either. The actual diversity our species has makes us more interesting, I don't see it as an excuse to treat people differently. And I still accept evolution. And watching AronRa I know Charles Darwin didn't determine how to treat people based on 'race' either.
I am NO fan of Ham and nuts, but i politely disagree with you that pointing out that "we all come from the same place" or that the differences in our appearances are skin deep is a bad thing. To recognize those things in no way minimizes the seriousness of race relations, to my mind. Racism is huge and complicated. But to recognize that we're all just humans seems like a good place to begin. Much love, Paul!
The thing i find bizarre about creationists is that they think that their questions or objections to a technique are NEVER addressed or thought of by the scientists doing the work. A note to creationists: if you have thought of it the clever scientists have thought of it too and take it into account. Your objection alone is not sufficient to discard the results. Educate yourselves and ask “has this objection been taken account of by the technique/field of study”.
Are you trying to tell me that the national Bible Quizzing championships that I went to at Bob Jones University weren't the only national championships? I was part of the Florida State champs twice...
According to the Dresden Files, Sue the dinosaur is at the Field Museum. Harry Dresden animated her and made her into a zombie TRex that he road through Chicago. Sue exists. The Field exists, and so does Chicago. Therefore I believe in Harry Dresden!!! Lol

Earth was created specially for human beings.Which is why 70% of it is covered with deep salt water seas.

Where did she get the idea that evolutionist don't like the idea of altruism? What a strange world her head is!
Andrew Jones - survival of the fittest. According to her projection, altruism contradicts the concept. They love to strawman this.
C'mon, you should know that she thinks that, without god, she'd be out there right now, killing, raping, getting an abortion.
... and of course, "survival of the fittest" is already a distortion. It invokes this mental picture of a gold medalist in fitness being the only one to survive and have offspring, which is ridiculous.

Meanwhile, back on planet reality, sickle-cell anaemia is an evolutionary adaptation in populations where malaria is endemic. Oops, I forgot, the fucktards claim evolution is fake science.
bdf2718 Actually creationists have moved the goalposts to allow micro evolution. Not sure what their current stance on sickle cell trait would be since it has positive and negative results.
I’m fuzzy on my history. I thought racism existed before Darwin....
Jamal Wills fainting at high altitudes > dying
Wait I need green tinted glasses to see leprechauns?!? That explains so much, thanks for letting me know what I was doing wrong now I’m sure to find that pot of gold
Ok, I'll start taking notes. Too much to talk about in short bursts. Love your show!
It's like listening to two really drunk people having a conversation.
God speaks through Georgia by way of hairstyles from the 1950s. He IS mysterious.
One of the Best video's you did 🤘
Great episode, Thanks again.
@ Paulogia... Paul I would (wood) really like to get one of those "Noah's Ark Ship Builders" t-shirts that Richard was wearing. Since I live in a port city on Lake Erie I think this "wood" be appropriate attire when I'm down at the marina or out on the lake fishing with my friends. Any suggestions on where to find one (or a few) of these shirts ?
PS - as always... thanks for all your work in making and posting your clips
Great work as always, Paul!
FYI: Don't try to take a picture of the eclipse with your phone; it'll burn out the camera. If you really want to try, do it through a pair of eclipse glasses.
Or as someone said, don't try to take pictures of it, it's a wonderful event so just watch it.
8:50 Is that Christopher Hitchens behind Richard?
Paulogism is now a religion
I definitely couldn't live without my metabolism.
Pretty sure I'd die without it.
NephilimFree once said that Autism was a religion (or at least a belief system)...
it's Neph, what did you expect?
Also, i'm trying to get a presentation done soon but a little behind due to a bad encounter of poison ivy and sick dog. Where would you recommend for fact and citation checks that are unbiased?
As they should, they are denouncing bigotry based on skin color. But they teach that people that don't believe as they do deserve hell. This is also bigotry.
This is the second episode of Ham and AIGs I've seen. This is the second episode of Ham and AIGs I've seen that doesn't have any Ham.
Always great at what you do . Thanks Paul
I don't think creationists want to enter a meme war
The entire creationist argument is "but how do you know". When I was a creationist all these arguments sounded so good, but one day I woke up, and it just all sounded ridiculous. Now when I hear them talk it's nothing but cringe. Lots of cringe.
It's fascinating how she will allow herself to believe we are made up more of microbes then actual cells but then cannot accept that the base elements we are made of came from exploding stars. Despite equal evidence for both. There is truly no way to predict whether they will accept a topic or ridicule it.
Wesh
Of course there's a method! Just check to see what the Bibble has to say about it. If it contradicts it, you'd better bet they'll reject it.
VERY good. Glad I found your channel. Subbed.
[EDIT] And rang the notification bell.
@14:17 "You actually have more bacterial cells that make up your human body than human cells... which is kind of a cool thought."
Ok, so the idea that we share an ancestor with chimpanzees and gorillas, is awful, but the idea that we're more bacteria than human is cool. I say if we teach kids that we're bacteria, then they will act like bacteria!
Excellent video.
It's hard to understand the lengths religious people will go to when it comes to protecting their myth. You did a nice job on your commentary. I'm an atheist so I guess I have been duped too.
Hey Paulogia,
I'm familiar with many of the argument you cover; but, it's your perspective I appreciate most.
Your Bullshit Detection Kit is most impressive. You're able to pick up on little things that give away the entirety of their dishonesty.
It may be a poor reference, but you're like like a Borg separated from the hive, fighting to regain their humanity.
Great work, when Aron had to sit back and take your soft spoken facts, I was hooked.
Keep it up!
Thank you
COMPLETELY unrelated to any subjects in the video: It's 2017. Why do they PRINT all these stories when a cheap tablet would suffice? They kill a LOT of trees to make these videos. There's a LAPTOP RIGHT THERE!
Sorry. Sometimes I forget who we're dealing with in this stuff.
One comic book site listed the Pied Piper from the Flash's religion as 'music'. I guess with these people's world view, that actually makes sense.
I'm seeing a pattern here, is alcoholism a religion too? If yes, then I know some very religious people
As John Corvino says, "When people tell me homosexuality is is bad because it isn't 'natural', because 'The pieces don't fit.' I tell them..." (gets flat, yet significant look on his face) "Yes they do."
Jeff Goldbloom proved the seat belt picture in Jurassic Park 20 years ago. He gets into the helicopter, he tries to buckle his belt but he has two "male" ends, so he ties them into an overhand knot. It's classic foreshadowing and why the hell not.
It wasn't Goldbloom who did that. It was Sam Neill.
Canaan was the eponym for the Canaanites , the inhabitants of the land of Canaan, whom the Israelites were supposed to destroy. It was meant to justify that. That's what that curse was about.

A fellow Bible Quizzer, haha, awesome.
question number one... question...
You know...whenever I watch these videos, I always get a taste for ham and eggs...LOL.
Nice to see Shakespeare scholar Gary Taylor make an appearance.
First. Thanks guys for your work
I think I'm going to grab the bit about altruism & lay out what we know about the subject (or what we offer as hypotheses). And give you a shout out in the process, of course.
/sings along with Ham and Aigs/
Christina BlackFeather
ham and aids??!? Eewww
I too was involved in Bible Bowl and even attended Nationals a few times. Who knows, maybe Paul and I met at some point...
I was in the Christian & Missionary Alliance flavor of it. I know there are several. Nazarene, etc.
excellent video
I don't know, every time I hear the Ham and Aig theme song, I get the munchies...
I thought that black people were supposed to be descendants of Cain. {Disclaimer: this isn't what I think but what people of the past thought, including the Mormons.}
I've heard that version, too, but my understanding is that the 'Curse of Ham' version is more widely accepted. In fact (so I've read), the name Ham (pronounced with a hard 'H') is the source* of the ancient Egyptian words _khem_ ('black') and _Kemet_ ('Egypt'). Likewise, the name of Noah's son Shem is the source of our term 'semitic'. Noah's third son, Japheth, is supposedly the progenitor of the Turkish and European peoples.
* It's entirely possible, and probably more likely, that the words designating those peoples (at least the Shemites/Semites and Hamites/Khemites) existed before the Noah story was composed, and that the sons were named after the peoples they supposedly gave rise to. Several of Noah's grandchildren and great grandchildren have names recognizably related to tribes well known from the Bible or secular history: Shem's son Ashur begat the Assyrians; his son Aram begat the Aramaic-speaking Arameans; his son Lud begat the Lydians; Ham's son Canaan begat the Canaanites; Canaan's son Sidon begat the Phoenicians, whose capital city was Sidon; Canaan's son Heth begat the Hittites. . . . The general idea being that, like other ancient mythologies purposing to explain natural phenomena like fire or wind, large parts of ancient Hebrew mythology purposed to explain the ethnic composition of the region they inhabited.
I know its wrong, but that Noah's Ark tee shirt actually is kind of cool. I mean, if some old guy and his kids could build a ship to a higher standard than the shipwrights of Bath, Maine, that really would be something. If.
Georgia knows
I didn't know events in Charlottesville were strictly addressing racial ones. Thanks for oversimplifying Dr. Giggles
This channel, *Paulogia* , cannot be a religion. But according to AIG *Paulogiaism* is!
I look forward to your listing when *_World Religion and Cults_* produces Volume 4.
is that the ghost of Christopher Hitchens behind the guy with the ark encounter t-shirt?
Cartoon Paul is looking pretty buff.... you wouldn't exaggerate would ya?
I won't lie my cartoon avatar's boobies are at least 2 cup sizes bigger than mine lol
NdGT explains that if there is some kind of live outside our planet, is gonna be most likely based on carbon and oxigen (instead of silice, for example) because the percentage of this elements outside in the universe is (almost) the same as in Earth.
Aargh, Skin of Evil - that episode still haunts me from seeing it as a small child.
Indeed. Why I picked it over the crystalline life form.
Good call - Armus was far more terrifying and alien than the crystalline entity, given the nature of his being.
I didn't read enough comments to know for certain, but I can't believe that I am the only one who thinks Brody should lay off the energy drinks. Every time I hear Brody speak I keep thinking that Paul is speeding up the video for the sake of time.
They always try to pick apart dating methods, yet even if our idea for the age of the universe was anywhere between 1 million and 5 *billion* years (an insane variance!) it would still be demonstrably *not* 6000 years.
Excellent video! yet, again! You never let us down! Thank you for doing this, and exposing the ignorance of AIG. (I think the lady of the team, is more knowledgeable than she lets on. Not too sure she believes every thing she says. She may be a bit dishonest in her statements.)
Keep it up Paul with the awesome videos! You're doing Gods ...err....Jeebus' work!
💥🐷🔫💥🐷🔫
she's sometimes too quick with the right answer and has to cover.
No yoga pants? Im out
The paper on microbes driving altruism in their hosts was absolutely about causation, not correlation. It was basically a simulation - seeing how 2 sets of microbes fared in a population of hosts. 1 set of the microbes could induce altruism in their host to some extent, while the other didn't. The simulation showed that microbes that could induce altruism in their hosts would be significantly more fit because this would increase their spread to new hosts. This means that if microbes are capable of inducing altrustic behaviour in hosts, infection with these microbes would be a good explanation for altruism, because those microbes would stick around. Similarly, since inducing altruism demonstrably increases a microbe's fitness, it might be plausible that some of them have evolved that ability.
Nice
They conveniently ignore that Christopher Hitchens said he doesn't believe humans are divided into races. And as far as biology I tend to agree. I didn't reach this conclusion because of the Bible and I'm pretty sure Hitchens didn't either. The actual diversity our species has makes us more interesting, I don't see it as an excuse to treat people differently. And I still accept evolution.
And watching AronRa I know Charles Darwin didn't determine how to treat people based on 'race' either.
With regard to the airline seatbelts: the type of lock they have is known as a male/female lock... yeah...
I am NO fan of Ham and nuts, but i politely disagree with you that pointing out that "we all come from the same place" or that the differences in our appearances are skin deep is a bad thing.
To recognize those things in no way minimizes the seriousness of race relations, to my mind. Racism is huge and complicated. But to recognize that we're all just humans seems like a good place to begin.
Much love, Paul!
The thing i find bizarre about creationists is that they think that their questions or objections to a technique are NEVER addressed or thought of by the scientists doing the work. A note to creationists: if you have thought of it the clever scientists have thought of it too and take it into account. Your objection alone is not sufficient to discard the results. Educate yourselves and ask “has this objection been taken account of by the technique/field of study”.
An eV is 1.6 × 10^-19 J, not -20. That's not trivial because that's an order of magnitude difference. -
Are you trying to tell me that the national Bible Quizzing championships that I went to at Bob Jones University weren't the only national championships? I was part of the Florida State champs twice...
Different denominations had their own finals. I was part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance program.
That makes sense. I had to look it up to remember, but we were part of the American Association if Christian Schools. Did you all memorize KJV?
According to the Dresden Files, Sue the dinosaur is at the Field Museum. Harry Dresden animated her and made her into a zombie TRex that he road through Chicago.
Sue exists. The Field exists, and so does Chicago.
Therefore I believe in Harry Dresden!!! Lol
The racial interpretation if the Curse of Ham is absurd. It is an allegory and justification of Israel ruling over Canaan.
