First they will ignore you then they will laugh at you - then they'll fight you. And then - you'll win. Maybe you will be one of these people, who see the Arc sink - firsthand. I at least hope so.
Georgia said "I used to be an atheist". The end of that sentence, unspoken, was, "but there was way more money in being a creationist and selling it to the gullible".
HA!!! That's me reading Calvin's Article while I drink heavily, not Georgia, I may go on the road as a Georgia impressionist now though :)And for the record I'm a current Atheist
I know that's where they recruit their "scientists." They take scientists who sucked at their job and thus weren't making any money and said "hey, we have a place here where all you have to do is wear a lab coat and make things up and you'll get paid way more!"
Two blinky Paul's with a giant blinky rhino was almost too much to take. I think I suffered a blink-overload. Shannon's voice recording is great. I think she was trying not to laugh a few times. I mean...come on Shannon, everyone knows Ken Ham is one of the most dynamic Christian speakers ever. *wink* Great video. 😊
I feel bad for Paul having to edit it! I went a little Bonkers every 4 or 5 sentences. I also may have had to drink in order to be able to do it at all ;)I've been told the outtake reel is something to behold lol
It gets pretty yelly. I had some serious issues with Calvin's sentence structure. If you're going to present garbage arguments at least attempt to understand how to compose a paragraph for Christ Sakes!
I love how they always ask "but who saw the Big Bang?!" yet have no problem believing that God created the world and no one wrote it down until just two thousand years ago. Now THAT is how you do special pleading! Bravo, AiG, you truly are masters of the fallacious craft!
We chose to educate your children at home with the help of a public charter school for several years. One of my main concerns was other people having a big influence on my children. We live in a town full of creationists, and I didn't want my children surrounded by them for 35 hours a week. I had other concerns too, mainly that I didn't like the school in our area.
I just saw a thing on my FB page where a textbook seriously says that when Europeans came to this country, the Natives agreed to move to another location. It's this "let's let the KKK write the damn books" thing that would make me want to home school if I had kids.
Practical Theist sounds like textbooks in the south referring to the civil war as the war of northern aggression. Propoganda blatantly masquerading as education.
That... is a whole new level of rewriting history... Yes they 'agreed'... I mean there /are/ contracts about this issue. They just forgot to mention the few hundred thousand murdered natives before they agreed...
Being raised in the bible belt and constantly bullied for religious crap, I was desperate to be homeschooled. I even made a curriculum for my parents before I got into middle school - I checked out library books about it and put together one of the harder ones it recommended. I am still bitter that they refused and left me to not only receive a lesser education (I was never intellectually challenged until college!) but to mentally suffer with religious bigots.
I'd suspect that most people can point to a crap teacher they had at some point in their school life. The trouble with home schooling is that you might be stuck with a crap teacher for the whole of your education. If all home-schoolers were as competent as Mr & Mrs Rhino, kids would be fine. However, if all you're going to learn is what little a religious lunatic can tell you, you're probably going to have limited options when your education ends, so you're either going to get stuck, or have to spend time trying to re-educate yourself out of childhood indoctrination. Given how badly a lot of religious folk seem to manage with basic academic standards, I would doubt many succeed in that.
2 (well, 3) of my new favorites! Paulogia, Viced Rhino and the disgruntled father/gentleman, Paul. I sincerely hope you make progress in this area. I think it's frightening that there are no homeschooling standards to follow. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Well, as an Albertan, I'm shocked to find out there are no mandatory standards. I've known a couple of homeschooling families, but they were engineers doing it to give their kids an academic advantage, not to facilitate indoctrination. They followed the regular provincial curriculum (voluntarily, apparently). I don't have kids myself, but I'll happily contribute in whatever way I can to see that home schooling gets some minimum standards in place. Our last civic election in Calgary, I voted for a school board rep (which I don't normally do, since I'm not a parent) - I had to this time because the opposition wanted to see that parents had more say over the science curriculum. To me, that sounded like code for "teach the controversy". Thankfully, they were not elected...
YES! Vive le Canada! As if they think they can import their american-style dis-education tactics here without a fight?! WELL DONE PAUL! 2pauls blinking...side by side...almost seizure inducing!
Gosh - never thought about that. Now I'll go research on filthy and virus-ridden websites and buy bunches of expensive books written by -kindergardeners with crayons- people who KNOW THE TRUTH! And then I'll be one of the few enlightened people in a herd of sheeple believing in Canada.
I agree, North America only has enough room for one dumb ass country and the U.S has a lock on that title, I think those of us that like in the U.S should be embarrassed about all the dumb shit we let go on in our country.
Didn't know Paul lives in Calgary but nice to have you here. I have chatted with local Christian homeschoolers and they are aghast their kids have met so much resistance to their ideas once they leave the home. Reality comes for us all no matter what alternate reality we believe in.
It's awesome you're standing up for good science education. Ken Ham accuses "secularists" of indoctrinating kids but that's exactly what he does. Kids should learn real science in school whether at home or in a classroom. Parents have the right to raise their children in their religion but I don't think they should have the right to keep genuine science from them or teach it in a way that's distorted so they reject it.
it's also hilarious that Ken Ham calls evolution as "secularism", when statistically speaking, majority of evolutionists in the country are actually theists/deists, not atheists.
Ham is desperate to pretend there is "no meaning to life" without his imaginary friend. It's been part of his shtick for years. It's probably a window into how fragile his ego is... I doubt he could cope without the idea of his imaginary friend, because without that the only "meaning" his life has is as a "professional" liar and sophist.
Well in the christian model there is no value to "self", no meaning an individual can have beyond that which "the almighty" assigned. Doesn't sound ANY better than "no meaning at all" to me.
Nah, Ken's not that stupid. He knows the real meaning of being a creationist is to make a ton of money off of suckers. I'm think he knows he's a fraud, but the rewards here and now are just to great to stop. Isn't that a sin?
But Ken *is* a professional liar and sophist. It is the *sin* of lying for god. God does not need anyone to lie for god, but Ken does as does many who say they know god. It is very obvious that none know god at all, if they did there would not be over 10,000 different religions all with internal strife.
It's hilarious what you actually said and what AIG said you said are two very different things. And agree 100% there should be a minimum standard for home schooling here in Alberta and even one Canada wide. They should have to take standardized tests like students in school.
A fellow Albertan! Keep up the good work on this! I may not have kids, but I want to know my great-nephew will get a quality education in the province when he's old enough for school!
Ham is... half a Pig's butt&thigh that was left out to dry either in air or smoke for some time. CANNED ham is usually called spam and considered a delicacy on the Hawaii Islands (aka Sandwich Islands). Ken Ham is neither delicious nor digestible, he's rancid and spoiled meat, filling the air (and "airwaves") with his putrid stink of science denial.
Kudos to you Sir. I too would be aggrieved if I found out AiG were setting up in my area and the sHam himself was coming to speak. They seem to think simple opposition is an attack. It's great to see that you've made an impact in some way, and I guarantee you, your channel will only grow with support around such matters! Great stuff again man, always enjoy when a new video comes out. Keep us posted on any developments!
I did not know about this until I saw this video. That is awesome you got on the news for something worthy. I have been in the paper and on the news 6 times and only 1 times was it something worthwhile.
Dear AiG some better examples of respected scientists who are/were devout Christians: Francis Collins head of the human genome project, head of the NIH, evangelical Christian.... But oh wait he's an outspoken supporter of evolution Oh I know Monseignor Lamaitre: Astrophyisicst Catholic priest, Jesuit.... Oh right he proposed the Big Bang Pope Francis is a pretty decent chemist but right he's pro evolution too.... Gee it's almost like good scientists who are Christians support actual science
Well, possibly a better one would be that co-creator of the genome project, who went on to assert his faith by walking in the woods and seeing three waterfalls representing the trinity... Maybe not then.
"You have to put your kids in school so that are exposed to socialization and objective standards." "NOOOOOOOOO!" "You need to have home learning temporarily to prevent a deadly plague that is killing hundreds of thousands of Americans." "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
uh i think i am going crazy. 2 Paul's? i dont know if the world is ready for that as that is to much brilliance to put on film. but in all seriousness, i love your videos and glad to see Ham and AiG news back on.
Glad to see new content. Thanks for your efforts in combating misinformation. I was never a christian but attempting to fulfill Kent Hovinds fake money offer for proof of evolution when I was a teenager got me involved in both my interest in science and my dislike of con men and dishonesty. Keep up the good work.
I have been debating creationists, flat earthers, and other forms of pseudoscience for nearly twenty years now. Many times in the same groups as Bill Ludlow for a long time now. It was a pleasure to see him on your show. Though I am an atheist and always have been, I have never been inherently opposed to religion in general as long as people use it as a productive, comforting, or inspirational source. I have listened to quite a few critics of creationism and just wanted to thank you for your direct, informative, and respectful handling of addressing false claims rather than directly attacking religion itself. Thank you for all you do. I hope to follow in your example when I have a bit more free time and when I am done with my degree.
Thanks Paul, this was great to see. My wife and I home school in Edmonton and we had a 3 hour discussion after I heard Ken Ham was going to be speaking. It was a huge blow to my confidence in our decision to home school knowing that the AHEA would invite some of the speakers that they have. Keep up the great work and congrats on the media time. Hopefully it helps grow your great channel.
For homeschooling? I believe there were some good points on a degree of mandatory government involvement. But it is hard to decide on what degree and in what way. A large part of the appeal of home-schooling for our family was the ability to customize the way our children learn to what works best for them. It would take someone more involved and educated than me to determine a functional set of guidelines that would facilitate the flexibility that homeschooling provides while still making home-schoolers accountable for not altering their educational content based on ANY personal preferences or beliefs.
LoL! Great video. You are doing an amazing job of getting out there, dude. I especially loved the cameo appearance of William H Macy at 3:02. =) Keep up the good work.
My Sister-in-law home schooled her 3 kids, to give them a "good, christian" education. They lived in southern California, and she had to follow a basic curriculum from the state, the kids had to participate in phys. ed. at the local school and had to undergo proper testing through the state, each year, I believe. I'm not sure how it goes here in N.Y. as I sent mine to public school, but it's probably similar.
Thomas Binney It depends of the province. In quebec for exemple, homeschool is more closely watched, and not possible for all levels of education (up till cegep(wich is between hight scholl and university))
1:25 Just because we deny the scientific consensus and refuse to use the scientific method that makes us *science deniers?!* What is this intolerable slander?!
For some reason I wondered why the screen the text was projected on didn't blaze in flames like in the Cinema Scene in Inglorious Basterds... But my deep respect for reading this (regardless of how many tries you needed). I am pretty sure I would have died from cringe reading this.
Roman mythology without ever believing in JUPITER ... so i just proved you folk dont know old gods either. Or is it just that Gods of Thunder Thor and Zeus are more up in modern culture than JUPITER so most listeners would get confused and asked ...why is he talking about a planet ?
What do you mean, "you folk"? One guy mistakenly uses the more common name of the same god (Zeus) even when referring to Jupiter by his original name in the Greek pantheon, and it's "you folk don't know old gods either"? What the fuck, man? Even if Paul knew nothing about Roman or Greek mythology, he's certainly well-versed in Christian mythology, having BEEN A CHRISTIAN. Since he was not ever an adherent to any other religion, his gaps or errors in knowledge about those religions does not indicate that he is unfamiliar with his own religion's teachings. Are all of "you folk" on the theist side so bad at logic? [Edited for syntax so the second sentence reads more smoothly.]
Pete Lind Us folk and I would say all folk don't know *any* Gods, simply because they are all myths created in the imaginations of men. If you mean concepts of Gods then whether Paul called him Thor Zeus or Jupiter is irrelevant because it was only a technical mistake. Why do we and Wikipedia now consider all these Gods as myths? For the simple reason that no one takes them seriously anymore. When that happens to YEHWEH he too will be officially described as mythology. Basically the truth of any God concept relies on him having believers. Lol.
We home schooled our daughter due to medical concerns in California. Looks like a big difference between US and Canadian HS policies is that here we have to meet all the same standards as Public/Private schools. While my ex handeled the English and Math I (as I was working on a Phd in History and have an excellent background in electrical and mechanical engineering) handled History and Science. M daughter consistantly scored in the upper 5% overall on her testing. She is now persuing her studies toward a criminal law degree. We are very proud of her. BTW she knows about the Code of Hannurabe and the Babelonian orgins of Christian biblical plagirism.
Evolution isn't the type of science that produces useful technologies ? Not only it predicted there was a fundamental hereditary brick of life (DNA) but the principle of selective pressure to ensure a population express a given gene is regularly used in cancer research (and cellular biology in greneral). You'd think a PhD biologist within their ranks could have informed them about that ...
Here in Maryland homeschoolers are required to create a portfolio and present it to the administration of the school that child would attend if they weren’t homeschooling. The kids also have to take the state tests. But the weird thing about that is that taking the tests are not for the benefit of the kids. It’s to judge the school on the Bush era “No Child Left Behind” mess. Public schools are held accountable for the failure of students who never come to their school
HAHA great video Paul, where can the rest of us voice our complaints although I live far from Alberta(in Ontario)I just want to put in my complaint against Ham coming to Canada(period).
I was hesitant to become a Patreon when I saw Viced Rhino with that red tie. It reminded me of Christmas. It triggered me but I decided to forgive you Paul and now I am your latest Patreon supporter. Keep up the good work.
I can't decide if the most disconcerting part of this video was seeing FOUR Pauls on the same screen at 8:05 or trying to figure out who was talking from 23:07 when neither Paul's lips were moving, but, as usual, a very entertaining and informative video. Keep it up, Paul, Paul, Paul and Paul. Oh, and Viced Rhino. XD
This makes me burn on the inside... If only these people know what research went into the field of geochronology. I take these things way to personally.
Hey Paul - it is alarming to me that the Alberta Home (Miss-) Education Association has the financial resources to rent out the whole Westerner complex. I believe they represent 14000 canadian school kids. If true this is 14000 kids too many.
Shannon Q I love the random references dotted throughout the videos! You never know what random little one will resonate with a viewer. Congrats on the work yourself and Paul have put in, I feel like I'm seeing the birth of a beautiful new TH-cam baby haha
the problem here is that Ham wants to teach his 'creationism' just like religion (I have a book etc.) but within the confines of the science class. Given he has no science behind his claims at all, this is unreasonable. What Ham is good at is business and making money - mostly from gullible Christians - and not actual learning. So I reckon, given his wealth and that of his so-called charities he ought to be called on to research the actual science and publish in Nature his rebuttal of evolution. Until he does its just religion that he spouts.
I appreciate that you gave me a psychedelic background while I was speaking 😂
Thanks for having me on! Great video.
You're welcome :) One of us is filled with good ideas ;)
You Killed it by the way! I heard your whole recording Thanks so much for partnering!!
I didn't notice that! That's pretty cool.
some of you psychedelic backgrounds make your videos hard to watch.
@Viced Rhino:
I don't think that was intentional. I am reasonably sure that whenever you speak psychedelic backgrounds just spontaneously appear.
Oh shit you actually got Paul on the show.
I told him my channel was famous. shhhhh....
Paulogia
I really hope his channel blows up ;))
+
I see that you're just beside yourself over this.
GalapagosPete what you did there.... I see it.
Ohhh, snap! Carry on.
GalapagosPete I came here to make that comment
Rimshot. In fact, a pair of them.
GalapagosPete nice.
But seriously, you *should* be proud that aig is so concerned about you.
thanks.
First they will ignore you then they will laugh at you - then they'll fight you. And then - you'll win.
Maybe you will be one of these people, who see the Arc sink - firsthand. I at least hope so.
"Remember boys and girls, when science and God conflict who are you going to believe?"
Face palm.
All hail Face Palm! He knows all.
How to reconcile the two:
God's right
Science is right
Humans screwed up our understanding of what God said somewhere along the line
Paranormal Encyclopedia
That is essentially the view of Old Earth Christians.
Para and ninja that veiw is one that even I could accept
"Believe your preacher!"
Fixed that for you.
Georgia said "I used to be an atheist". The end of that sentence, unspoken, was, "but there was way more money in being a creationist and selling it to the gullible".
HA!!! That's me reading Calvin's Article while I drink heavily, not Georgia, I may go on the road as a Georgia impressionist now though :)And for the record I'm a current Atheist
@ Shannon Q. You nailed her whole attitude toward atheists perfectly. Outstanding performance.
I appreciate it! It wasn't easy to get through! I had some full on rage breaks every so often!
I know that's where they recruit their "scientists." They take scientists who sucked at their job and thus weren't making any money and said "hey, we have a place here where all you have to do is wear a lab coat and make things up and you'll get paid way more!"
If you ask an atheist what caused them to doubt, you always get an nuanced and interesting story. Ask a "former" atheist, and you may be disappointed.
Two blinky Paul's with a giant blinky rhino was almost too much to take.
I think I suffered a blink-overload.
Shannon's voice recording is great. I think she was trying not to laugh a few times.
I mean...come on Shannon, everyone knows Ken Ham is one of the most dynamic Christian speakers ever. *wink*
Great video. 😊
I feel bad for Paul having to edit it! I went a little Bonkers every 4 or 5 sentences. I also may have had to drink in order to be able to do it at all ;)I've been told the outtake reel is something to behold lol
Now I want to hear the blooper reel of your recording.
It gets pretty yelly. I had some serious issues with Calvin's sentence structure. If you're going to present garbage arguments at least attempt to understand how to compose a paragraph for Christ Sakes!
Shannon Q don't feel bad for Paul, remember what you had to go through. Brilliant video 👍👍
Honestly, her outtakes are much better than the video... and would be demonetized in a millisecond.
Definitely check out Aron Ra's freely available TH-cam science stuff. Perfect for home-schoolers.
I love how they always ask "but who saw the Big Bang?!" yet have no problem believing that God created the world and no one wrote it down until just two thousand years ago. Now THAT is how you do special pleading! Bravo, AiG, you truly are masters of the fallacious craft!
You managed to get Paul on? How on earth did you manage THAT?
dangerouslytalented
Deception.
Imagine if he rejected the invitation ^^

This interview was apauling, please do more of these.
You forgot to link Paul's TH-cam channel in the description!
YES! Vive le Canada! As if they think they can import their american-style dis-education tactics here without a fight?!
WELL DONE PAUL!
2pauls blinking...side by side...almost seizure inducing!
Capital H Canada isn't real #CanadaTruther
Gosh - never thought about that.
Now I'll go research on filthy and virus-ridden websites and buy bunches of expensive books written by -kindergardeners with crayons- people who KNOW THE TRUTH!
And then I'll be one of the few enlightened people in a herd of sheeple believing in Canada.
I agree, North America only has enough room for one dumb ass country and the U.S has a lock on that title, I think those of us that like in the U.S should be embarrassed about all the dumb shit we let go on in our country.
Paul, you've arrived. For my part, I love your videos. Thank you so much.
The pace in this video is excellent. I usually watch while I am preparing breakfast. With this one, I could not do anything else.
Didn't know Paul lives in Calgary but nice to have you here. I have chatted with local Christian homeschoolers and they are aghast their kids have met so much resistance to their ideas once they leave the home. Reality comes for us all no matter what alternate reality we believe in.

Ken Ham isn't opposed to indoctrination, just what he perceives as competition.
it's also hilarious that Ken Ham calls evolution as "secularism", when statistically speaking, majority of evolutionists in the country are actually theists/deists, not atheists.
You’re a hero, Paul. Thank you for your work.
Thanks to all of the Paulogia teams for providing the refreshing truth.
There's only one problem with Ham and AiG news.... We need more of it
Go Paul! Give 'em what for! And strap that tax dodging Aussie sasquatch down for a frickin' shave while you're at it.
Amish Wolverine?
Love your channel Paul. It's always fun to see what the AIG pre-schoolers are up to.
Ham is desperate to pretend there is "no meaning to life" without his imaginary friend. It's been part of his shtick for years. It's probably a window into how fragile his ego is... I doubt he could cope without the idea of his imaginary friend, because without that the only "meaning" his life has is as a "professional" liar and sophist.
CoolHardLogic ooh. chl, when is the next flat earther debunk video coming out?
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well in the christian model there is no value to "self", no meaning an individual can have beyond that which "the almighty" assigned.
Doesn't sound ANY better than "no meaning at all" to me.
Nah, Ken's not that stupid. He knows the real meaning of being a creationist is to make a ton of money off of suckers. I'm think he knows he's a fraud, but the rewards here and now are just to great to stop. Isn't that a sin?

Creationists fighting a losing battle in Canada, good to see. I'm from B.C. the least religious province in Canada. Keep up the good work Paul.
Having a hell of a day, this makes it 70% better!! 😌
I'll take it! hope you get more boosts, Bernice.
Paulogia Just listened to your theme 10 more times, that did it! Loved another Bible drop from GE too! 👍
I just love the theme song.... It puts me in such a good mood when I see that you have a new video up :D
We home schooled to ensure our kids got a goodfounatyion Inscience.
Ha! I knew that was you on the CBC radio story a couple of weeks back! Well done Sir!
Thanks, Tornado.
Way to fight the good fight Paul! Keep it up and keep us who aren't in Canada updated with this going forward.
will do. thanks for the support.
It's hilarious what you actually said and what AIG said you said are two very different things. And agree 100% there should be a minimum standard for home schooling here in Alberta and even one Canada wide. They should have to take standardized tests like students in school.
Some of your best work! You are a true hero!
You rock Paul! Keep up the good fight!
I love you for doing this man
This "Paul" that you interview on the left, he seems reasonable. Where can I learn more about his supposed "youtube" channel? /sarcasm
KEEP THAT CLOWN OUTTA MY COUNTRY!
8:20 My headcanon is that the guy on the right is the concerned father and the guy on the left is the _gentleman._ It's all in the tie.
A fellow Albertan! Keep up the good work on this! I may not have kids, but I want to know my great-nephew will get a quality education in the province when he's old enough for school!
You're a superstar! Keep up the good fight, future generations will benefit and thank you for it.
I clicked on this video so quickly because I saw Viced Rhino was going to be in it. You both have great channels.
Ham is... I have no words just a deep concern for the species
I didn't expect Ham to hit so close to home.
Ham is... half a Pig's butt&thigh that was left out to dry either in air or smoke for some time.
CANNED ham is usually called spam and considered a delicacy on the Hawaii Islands (aka Sandwich Islands).
Ken Ham is neither delicious nor digestible, he's rancid and spoiled meat, filling the air (and "airwaves") with his putrid stink of science denial.
Kudos to you Sir. I too would be aggrieved if I found out AiG were setting up in my area and the sHam himself was coming to speak.
They seem to think simple opposition is an attack.
It's great to see that you've made an impact in some way, and I guarantee you, your channel will only grow with support around such matters!
Great stuff again man, always enjoy when a new video comes out. Keep us posted on any developments!
I did not know about this until I saw this video. That is awesome you got on the news for something worthy. I have been in the paper and on the news 6 times and only 1 times was it something worthwhile.
Paul, Paul, and viced rhino! I've waited so long for this!
Hopefully just a first of many.
You can answer questions about Roman mythology without believing in Jupiter, too.
But only if you az least believe in Zeus then lol.
Your guest was great, and Viced Rhino really smashed that argument and stomoed on it. :3
Dear AiG some better examples of respected scientists who are/were devout Christians:
Francis Collins head of the human genome project, head of the NIH, evangelical Christian.... But oh wait he's an outspoken supporter of evolution
Oh I know Monseignor Lamaitre: Astrophyisicst Catholic priest, Jesuit.... Oh right he proposed the Big Bang
Pope Francis is a pretty decent chemist but right he's pro evolution too....
Gee it's almost like good scientists who are Christians support actual science
XD
Well, possibly a better one would be that co-creator of the genome project, who went on to assert his faith by walking in the woods and seeing three waterfalls representing the trinity... Maybe not then.
"You have to put your kids in school so that are exposed to socialization and objective standards."
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
"You need to have home learning temporarily to prevent a deadly plague that is killing hundreds of thousands of Americans."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
congrats paul on making it to tv and national radio!
uh i think i am going crazy. 2 Paul's? i dont know if the world is ready for that as that is to much brilliance to put on film. but in all seriousness, i love your videos and glad to see Ham and AiG news back on.
Maybe the best description of Paul would be "disgruntled gentleman."
Glad to see new content. Thanks for your efforts in combating misinformation. I was never a christian but attempting to fulfill Kent Hovinds fake money offer for proof of evolution when I was a teenager got me involved in both my interest in science and my dislike of con men and dishonesty. Keep up the good work.
Envy that you found your way to truth sooner than I.
I have been debating creationists, flat earthers, and other forms of pseudoscience for nearly twenty years now. Many times in the same groups as Bill Ludlow for a long time now. It was a pleasure to see him on your show. Though I am an atheist and always have been, I have never been inherently opposed to religion in general as long as people use it as a productive, comforting, or inspirational source. I have listened to quite a few critics of creationism and just wanted to thank you for your direct, informative, and respectful handling of addressing false claims rather than directly attacking religion itself. Thank you for all you do. I hope to follow in your example when I have a bit more free time and when I am done with my degree.
If I hadn't subscribed already I would had subscribed after watching this video. Love to see the cloning turn out a success ;)
Thanks Paul, this was great to see. My wife and I home school in Edmonton and we had a 3 hour discussion after I heard Ken Ham was going to be speaking. It was a huge blow to my confidence in our decision to home school knowing that the AHEA would invite some of the speakers that they have. Keep up the great work and congrats on the media time. Hopefully it helps grow your great channel.
Thanks, Travis! Do you have any advice on practical steps to take here?
For homeschooling? I believe there were some good points on a degree of mandatory government involvement. But it is hard to decide on what degree and in what way. A large part of the appeal of home-schooling for our family was the ability to customize the way our children learn to what works best for them. It would take someone more involved and educated than me to determine a functional set of guidelines that would facilitate the flexibility that homeschooling provides while still making home-schoolers accountable for not altering their educational content based on ANY personal preferences or beliefs.
That conversation with yourself. .. the whole thing... I just loved it.
I listen to you two every night when I'm falling asleep. I would love it if you'd colab more often!
LoL! Great video. You are doing an amazing job of getting out there, dude. I especially loved the cameo appearance of William H Macy at 3:02. =)
Keep up the good work.
Rock on Paul.
Wishing a station in London, Ont would broadcast your interview.
He was on the The Current. That's a national program aired on the CBC. London does have a station.
I have been following this a bit in the news and didnt realize that you where "the one",,,nice job!!
My Sister-in-law home schooled her 3 kids, to give them a "good, christian" education. They lived in southern California, and she had to follow a basic curriculum from the state, the kids had to participate in phys. ed. at the local school and had to undergo proper testing through the state, each year, I believe. I'm not sure how it goes here in N.Y. as I sent mine to public school, but it's probably similar.
Yeah, it surprised me that in this area Canada looks to be behind the US. I mean, our standards are crap, but at least we have some.
Thomas Binney It depends of the province. In quebec for exemple, homeschool is more closely watched, and not possible for all levels of education (up till cegep(wich is between hight scholl and university))
1:25 Just because we deny the scientific consensus and refuse to use the scientific method that makes us *science deniers?!* What is this intolerable slander?!
I laughed so hard when this guest host dude on AIG said “it’s a kind of special pleading”. Lol
Love both of your channels
thanks, Matt! VR is amazing.
Shannon manages to sound sooo distraught. Well done
Robert Adsett that could have something to do with the fact that I was every kind of angry having to hear those words exit my own mouth lol
For some reason I wondered why the screen the text was projected on didn't blaze in flames like in the Cinema Scene in Inglorious Basterds...
But my deep respect for reading this (regardless of how many tries you needed). I am pretty sure I would have died from cringe reading this.
Shannon's dramatic reading is brilliant.
Without a doubt one of my new favorite vids! Great work as always paul. The guest was amazing! Lol
I homeschooled my son for his kindergarten year and my reasoning was identical to rhino. That is why I am no longer homeschooling him this year lol
ha! I always say that I want my kids to be smarter than me.
Paulogia same here and once he acheived that I had no choice but to send him to first grade. Rofl
19:39 GREEK mythology without ever believing in Zeus
Daniel Freeman - So Paul apparently understands Greek mythology about as well as AiG understands science. Hehe
haha - it seems so - good object lesson -that a boy Paul
Roman mythology without ever believing in JUPITER ... so i just proved you folk dont know old gods either.
Or is it just that Gods of Thunder Thor and Zeus are more up in modern culture than JUPITER so most listeners would get confused and asked ...why is he talking about a planet ?
What do you mean, "you folk"? One guy mistakenly uses the more common name of the same god (Zeus) even when referring to Jupiter by his original name in the Greek pantheon, and it's "you folk don't know old gods either"? What the fuck, man? Even if Paul knew nothing about Roman or Greek mythology, he's certainly well-versed in Christian mythology, having BEEN A CHRISTIAN. Since he was not ever an adherent to any other religion, his gaps or errors in knowledge about those religions does not indicate that he is unfamiliar with his own religion's teachings. Are all of "you folk" on the theist side so bad at logic?
[Edited for syntax so the second sentence reads more smoothly.]
Pete Lind
Us folk and I would say all folk don't know *any* Gods, simply because they are all myths created in the imaginations of men.
If you mean concepts of Gods then whether Paul called him Thor Zeus or Jupiter is irrelevant because it was only a technical mistake.
Why do we and Wikipedia now consider all these Gods as myths? For the simple reason that no one takes them seriously anymore. When that happens to YEHWEH he too will be officially described as mythology.
Basically the truth of any God concept relies on him having believers. Lol.
Great video. Keep up the good work. You are a strong person to keep civil.
Another great video! Thank you, Paul!
You had yourself as a guest on your own show! Awesome!
We home schooled our daughter due to medical concerns in California. Looks like a big difference between US and Canadian HS policies is that here we have to meet all the same standards as Public/Private schools. While my ex handeled the English and Math I (as I was working on a Phd in History and have an excellent background in electrical and mechanical engineering) handled History and Science. M daughter consistantly scored in the upper 5% overall on her testing. She is now persuing her studies toward a criminal law degree. We are very proud of her. BTW she knows about the Code of Hannurabe and the Babelonian orgins of Christian biblical plagirism.
You need to have this Paul guy on more often
You Paul, are a hero :D
Nice one.
thanks, Robert
VR, your lips are moving! And your eyes open & close! It's a miracle!
Evolution isn't the type of science that produces useful technologies ? Not only it predicted there was a fundamental hereditary brick of life (DNA) but the principle of selective pressure to ensure a population express a given gene is regularly used in cancer research (and cellular biology in greneral). You'd think a PhD biologist within their ranks could have informed them about that ...
Paul is a great gest, you should get him on the show more often!
Yikes! Canada needs to up it's game in education of it's citizens, especially for home schooled situations.
Got to love all the free publicity they are giving you for a change!
They were very careful not to use his name or reference his Channel on Answers News. They know exactly who he is it was hilarious!
And they weren't willing to take the risk of any of their viewers hearing his questions. :)
Wow, this Paul guy seems pretty cool! I think I will go check out his channel.
Here in Maryland homeschoolers are required to create a portfolio and present it to the administration of the school that child would attend if they weren’t homeschooling. The kids also have to take the state tests. But the weird thing about that is that taking the tests are not for the benefit of the kids. It’s to judge the school on the Bush era “No Child Left Behind” mess. Public schools are held accountable for the failure of students who never come to their school
HAHA great video Paul, where can the rest of us voice our complaints although I live far from Alberta(in Ontario)I just want to put in my complaint against Ham coming to Canada(period).
I was hesitant to become a Patreon when I saw Viced Rhino with that red tie. It reminded me of Christmas. It triggered me but I decided to forgive you Paul and now I am your latest Patreon supporter. Keep up the good work.
thank you! the red tie was VR's doing.
I can't decide if the most disconcerting part of this video was seeing FOUR Pauls on the same screen at 8:05 or trying to figure out who was talking from 23:07 when neither Paul's lips were moving, but, as usual, a very entertaining and informative video. Keep it up, Paul, Paul, Paul and Paul. Oh, and Viced Rhino. XD
We need more Shannon Q
Congratulations for this new exposure Paul. I hope it earns you new subscribers. Glad to hear Ham don't get to take the limelight all on his own.
Why do they double down? In the face of facts, evidence and basic reasoning, they just ignore and double down.
This makes me burn on the inside... If only these people know what research went into the field of geochronology.
I take these things way to personally.
Paul i got to point out one minor correction on the video you said that Zues was Roman Mythology when Zues is Greek Mythology.
Hey Paul - it is alarming to me that the Alberta Home (Miss-) Education Association has the financial resources to rent out the whole Westerner complex.
I believe they represent 14000 canadian school kids. If true this is 14000 kids too many.
Shannon hysterically narrating the article is priceless
I see they've turned their comments are turned off on their video.
Looks like they only want people hearing their side of side of the argument.
Well done, Paul. More parents need to be active in their child's education, and AIG is flat anti-intellectual.
It was kind of rude that you barely let your guest Paul talk, but at least you let him plug his website.
Two great guests this week, Paul!
Ric Flair reference when saying you're "Fired up", then shows his epic WCW promo...
5/5!
Why thank you! I'll be honest I was a little afraid he'd cut my Rick Flair clip I was pleased to see it made it in!
Shannon Q I love the random references dotted throughout the videos! You never know what random little one will resonate with a viewer. Congrats on the work yourself and Paul have put in, I feel like I'm seeing the birth of a beautiful new TH-cam baby haha
BlueBloodLIVE hahaha that's amazing! Thanks 😁
WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
At 19:10. "what we see, supports gods words!". How... I... don't have words. I weep for humanity :-(
the problem here is that Ham wants to teach his 'creationism' just like religion (I have a book etc.) but within the confines of the science class. Given he has no science behind his claims at all, this is unreasonable. What Ham is good at is business and making money - mostly from gullible Christians - and not actual learning.
So I reckon, given his wealth and that of his so-called charities he ought to be called on to research the actual science and publish in Nature his rebuttal of evolution. Until he does its just religion that he spouts.
When you put it that way, some might think calling it "religion" is still charitable...
Tax the churches...
