- Matt Powell constantly misrepresents atheists. And this is no exception... He claims atheists think they are descended from rocks. He even thinks chimpanzees don't have beards (well, they kinda do).
I'm also probably wrong about the rock thing, but I gotta stick up for my peeps, yo!
I point out some of the silly things he says, with even more silliness... because I need to, in the words of Matt "dr peel" Powell... "Grow up".

I mean...... the Bible literally says humans were created from dirt, and the name Adam even means clay, so I don't see how "came from a rock" is supposed to sound ridiculous by comparison.
They don't get irony or metaphor.
@@sandeman1776 Maybe Jesus shouldn't have taught through parables then. It would certainly explain why many Christians adamantly refuse to do what Jesus teaches.
@@DavidRichardson153 Indeed. So many of them apparently need things spelled out in crayon, with small words and short sentences. It's quite sad, really.
Adam means RED.
It's derived from the red color of some sorts of fertile earth/clay, but it does NOT directly translate to either.
I've been saying the same thing since I first heard Kent Hovind spouting this nonsense.
Matt: I believe we came from a magic man, dirt, ribs, and incest.
Also Matt: what you believe is crazy.
Yeah. Crazy amount of n-cest.
ADD INBREEDING TO THIS MIX OF INSANITY...
@@AECRADIO1 that's what incest is
@@kirara2516 Sorry for being nitpicky: All children received from incest are inbreeding but inbreeding is a slightly wider field. The royal families of Europe are a nice example of inbreeding where cousins married cousins married cousins married cousins. So the first generation of Adam definitely was incest, the next generations and the one after Noah were definitely inbreeding.
@@kirara2516 LMFAO
Matt's dream is to one day be half as intelligent as a rock.
Matt has no dreams of its own: its a radio controlled robot operated remotely by the Evil Dr. Peel, who is trying to take over the world by dropping humanity's collective intelligence below that of chalk.
In the case of "Dr." Kent Hovind, Dr. Peel seems to have succeeded.
He won't reach it.
Yes, one day scientists will discover the cause of rampant stupidity and there will be a cure. Until then, we can only pray. 🤣
@@JB-yb4wn cure for stupidity? Well, why not stoning?
Either get stoned to death or stoned until you get high.
@@JB-yb4wn, and the prayers we offer will do as much good as the "thoughts and prayers" of legislators here in America every time we suffer ANOTHER mass shooting. You've have thought The Onion's " 'Nothing can be done', says only country where this happens regularly" would have become ingrained in EVERYBODY's heads by now, but SOME PEOPLE STILL DON'T GET IT.
Matt: "When we were primates..."
Do you want to tell him?
Sadly, he's already been told.
It didn't take.
@@martinmckee5333 nothing takes with this dingus...except his inflatable banana, Mr. Peel.
To be fair he and his daddy Kent Hovind are a dead branch of evolution, They evolved from semi sentient brick walls.
Yeah, that´s like saying that wolves are the only (wild) canines, when you have coyotes, foxes and plenty of other members of canidae family.
And I love how they are "but why are there chimpanzese, when we evolved with them", when whe evolved alongside them. The difference was that we moved to savannah and became better suited for that environment, while chimps ancestors were in the forests and became beter suited for them. I mean, it´s not rocket sicence to see why upright posture might be an advantage in seeing over tall grass and wide open space and spotting potential danger or prey earlier, while longer, stronger arms would be kinda better for moving in the treetops.
To simplify, Matt Powell is a chemistry denier.
Make that a reality denier.
Powell and the other grifters are in the business of science-denial communication.
Much like their terribly defined idea of "kind" means whatever they need it to in any argument, their idea of which scientific discoveries are OK, and which are nothing but a stream of idiot atheist, Darwin-loving, morally bankrupt, religious zealots making ridiculous claims, shifts.
That Powell works so hard to cherry-pick his 'evidence' of the stupidity of atheists/scientists, demonstrates how much of a fraudster he is.
Chimps don't have beards? CHIMPS DONT HAVE BEARDS?! CHIMPS ARE ALL BEARD! THEY'RE COVERED IN HAIR! SO ARE WE! WE JUST DONT CALL OUR ARM OR LEG HAIR "BEARDS"!
Dust - good.
Rocks - bad.
Apparently.
Dust.... and magic!
Imagine believing a mystic deity magically created humans out of dirt
Thats second human creation myth in bible,, first was 6th day
john why would an all powerful entity need to use dirt and/or a rib to make a person when they can just think a person into reality? its nearly enough to make you think that the whole thing is just a load of bollocks! lol
Well Twatt Powell and his husband Kunt Hovind are made out of shit, so, swings and roundabouts.
@@fuguestate44xx13 : you need dirt to make a man for the same reason you'd need rainbows to remind you of not flooding the Earth again.
Rocks!? Ludicrous. Now, made from clay and a rib of said clay golem, that makes sense
Wait until Matt finds out how important "rocks" are to sustaining life even now. 🤯
heck we even eat some... salt.
Most plant nutrients come from different rocks. Then bacteria convert it to plant usable forms if it isn't in a usable form. And animals eat plants. And then we eat salt on our food.
Wait till Bannana boy finds out what "Lithoredo Abatanica" eat 🤣 "Rock eating ship worms".
@@dogwalker666 he should watch a few documentaries on lithophagic fungus. Its Hyphae are mini jackhammers that break down rocks into minerals increadibly fast. Making them usable by the fingus and pretty much everything else.
I use perlite In a lot of my growing of plants because of its nutrition value.
Actually, Matt Powell did evolve from rocks. And he has the brain to prove it. It's hard as a rock and impervious to reason.
now now, thats hardly fair...to the rocks...
@@darkclawgreatonenas yeah, even a rock will erode eventually. His mind won't change for anything, until he dies and can't think anymore.
AronRa is the person that made me go full-fledged atheist. The only thing I can say is thank you.
It's his birthday today.
Thunder bunny science guy with his why people laugh at creationists series popped my cherry with Aron "scary Mongolian biker bro" Ra was definitely a close second.
He's a cool guy but he's wrong about God and just judge him by his fruits dude has problems just look at JLP vs Aron ra and see how he reacts over simple questions from a real man
@@AntonioLopez-kw3ev you aren't judging his fruits. Your judging his emotions. How bout judge him by his words?
@@FGuilt his words are of lies like I said watch that JLP vs Aron ra video and see how your lord ra avoids a yes or no question because of how his emotions are controlled by Satan and thus hes not moral
It's pretty rich when someone who believes in invisible friends tells others to "grow up."
Also, beards don't protect against punches for fuck sake.
read the article. It has a certain logic, but is just a wildass guess with no convincing arguments why it would be the only explanation/original reason for beard growth..
@@Ugly_German_Truths I don't really need to read it, because it's pure nonsense. Just because you can use logic in an argument, doesn't mean that it is actually a logical argument. You can knock a guy with a beard out with a punch to the jaw just as easily as a guy without one. It's just stupid.
@@TheDeath138
The original article was slightly more neaunced than that, they basically pointed out that our early ancestors had thick wirey beards which served 3 purposes.
1. Attracting a mate since it was proof you were a virile male
2. Keeping the face warm as we changed climates
3. Offering some minimal protection to the face/neck against both blunt forces and claws meaning we were less likely to suffer injuries from predators/similar in a fairly vital to survival part of the body.
Of course creationists assume that somehow the third is the most important because it's what they were looking at when they concluded that yes a thick beard of coarse hair likely did offer some slight protection and thus may have contributed to some aspects.
It's ridiculous though because the study was basically "we think this may have been a slight factor because it sounds useful" and somehow creations hear "we are dumb and think this factor we repeatedly refer to as a contributor must be the sole cause".
@@scragar I really couldn't care less, because number 3 is still pure bullshit and that's the one brought up in the video. A beard provides zero protection from blunt force trauma. Period. I know this from experience. That isn't bragging either. It comes from a time in my life that I'm not really proud of. Why are you people defending the article to me anyway? I don't get it.
"The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don't know anything about." - Wayne Dyer, professor of counseling psychology and author
Considering Matt blocks anyone who posts anything debunking him in his comments it shouldn't come as a shock he literally embodies the phrase "Lying for Jesus"....
He knows what he is saying is a lie, he just doesn't care.
I suspect people who indulge in creationist thinking long enough can really believe their sloppy misrepresentation is good logic and end up saying it honestly. Yes, they can train themselves to be stupid.
@@robertmiller9735 Matt Powell is just in it for the grift. He knows he and windbag Hovind are full of crap. But he's not going to come out and admit to that as he makes a living off it.
Will give creationists/believers one piece of credit, they do a good job and closing their literal flock off to new ideas and straw-manning opposition perspectives. All because they know its easier to give a simple lie than explain a complicated truth.
Yep. And it's so obvious by looking at the comments that there's NO objections.
I've been banned already.
@@jquest99 Me too
@@lardonirdesco And all I did was comment on his rosy cheeks... and his blatant misinformation and misrepresentation. So, I don't know which one he was more triggered by.
That was a hell of an impression of the creaky blinder!
Like only a bri'ish person could do.
Correction. I meant "as only a bri'ishER could do". British people love to tack on the "er" to everything and it's hilarious to me.
What? That WASN'T Creaky?
@@FGuilt Don't worry Americans are hilarious to the rest of the world.
@@DistinctiveBlend oh I know! Everyone had lots of stupid people. But our stupid people are really really proud and loud about it.
7:01 But Matt's beliefs are even crazier than a being poofed things into existence from nothing. This being apparently wants to have a personal relationship with us even though he NEVER so much as says hi. Somebody needs to tell Mr. Powell that he's a little too old for imaginary friends.
This entity is spaceless, timeless matterless and UNCHANGING. Therefore it CHANGED its matterless mind and decided to create a universe.
They know so much about his entity, his motivations, his intentions, his plans, the final endpoint of the game we are for him, his character, that he is benevolent, just, impeccable, perfect.
Amazing what becomes revealed by visions of people.
I could add a few wild stories, all standard sleep paralysis dreams, in which you want to do something, but it does not work, where you want to flee from something, but do not get away.
All the alien abductions are obviously sleep paralysis dreams.
@@feedingravens They are so lacking in imagination. If there's an entity that can bring a whole universe out of nothing would not think in any way like us. We would be nothing. Our corner of the universe would be nothing.
It would be better if we didn't catch the attention of such a being.
@@feedingravens They also don't grasp that an omniscient being cannot have freewill. Or that if it's "perfect" (maximized in every conceivable way) then it logically follows it should have no wants or needs. Yet it's portrayed as having desires, wrath, benevolence etc. It should also not have a desire to create anything, as it is totally completed, totally content and completely maximized, in every conceivable way....
@@_Omega_Weapon That's very interesting and well explained thank you.There is something i have been thinking about but don't know if its right or not.If the christian god knows everything that's going to happen to you for the whole time your alive this should rule out freewill as you're life story has already been written.If you have the time i would like your opinion on this as i feel like i have missed something or i have just gotten it wrong through not understanding it well enough.Also if you know of any books or content creators that offer a good introduction into this sort of thing i would be grateful if you could let me know.Thanks!
@@jquest99 Yeah.We could or maybe should be saying the same thing about any sort of advanced alien race.Broadcasting are location to the universe could turn out to be a very big mistake.Even if these aliens don't want to kill and eat us we all know that they have a strange fetish for sticking probes up are butts! lol
To this day, we're still using those "rock chemicals" to support out cellular functions. This is not in dispute.
And on our chips with vinegar.
I hit the like button so many times, it's starting to grow a beard.
That’s hilarious
That is funny.
😍🧔🏾♂
🤣😂
Matt Powell, Kent Hovid's sidekick and k-pop style fangirl.
Rock and beards... Well that's ZZ Top then!
Matt Powel is like a one-hit-wonder musician. They have one famous song they stand by and they keep it going years after it'd been overplayed to death.
It's not his shit, it's classic apologetics bullshit, same BS his mentor Kent Hovind has used, most of which came from Discovery Institute decades ago. They're all liars.
Except he never had a hit to coast on...
Sung by a session singer that Bannana boy lip synced too.
@@stephentaylor356 My thoughts exactly! 😉😁
Just like his uncle Kent "Deja-Vu" Hovind lol
I wonder how many groundbreaking advancements Matt has made in medicine or aerospace using his methodology
A lot! I think he’s debunked the Big Bang Theory like 300 times by now! He’s found Noah’s ark 17 times at least!
@@Darthloozeryeah but the premise of those shows was flimsy at best to begin with
Big up to SciManDan for starting the "Matt Powell has an inflatable banana in his back yard he calls Dr Peel " . It was to prove a point but its now almost taken for granted. 😎👍
Free Dr Peel, I loved the look on Bannana boys face when I asked him how Dr Peel was 🤣
Using Matt Powell's interpretation, every time I eat a ham sandwich, I am eating rocks. The ham comes from a slaughtered pig, the pig ate grain, the grain grew in soil from which it derived some nutrients, the nutrients in the soil were released by breaking down rocks. If we eat rocks every day, aren't we still, therefore, rocks? Rock of ages, cleft for me. Am I not composed of thee?
Rocks all the way down...
Don't forget the ground up rocks used to cure the ham, "Salt".
One time I puffed on some herbs and sat down. My friend tried to lift me up, but I stubbornly continued sitting and proclaimed: "You can't lift this up, it's rocks!" So all and all, Matt sounds very reasonable and stuff.
Brilliant hymn 🎶
I love how the origin of the Matt owns a inflatable banana came about and how that joke has now suck lol
There is a certain amount of poetic justice in it, certainly.
What are you talking about? Dr Peel exists MY bible clearly says he does. The book of SciManDan 16:4:1 And lo Mattuth Powelluth doth hold in bondage apon his back gardan a giant inflatable banana he nameuth Doctor Peel.

"Oil and gasoline play key roles in the operation of a car. Therefore cars are made from oil and gasoline." - Matt Powell.
And oil and gasoline come from fossil fuels, so of course that means cars are made of fossils.
@@evilbob840 dare i ask what fossils are made from?
@@snapperjessen Mostly dinosaurs, so I suppose cars are made of dinosaurs!
@@evilbob840 And dinosaurs were once alive, so cars are made of rocks.
It's almost like everything is made of rocks in Matty's world. Maybe he's next going to claim that atheists believe the sun is made of rocks.
@@RichWoods23 no, see, the sun is made of big bang. Cause that's where the energy for hydrogen comes from.
Nothing funnier than a guy who says he believes the entire Universe was created in 6 days, that the first human was made from clay and breathed into life like a golem, and the first woman was made from the golem's rib, calling the entirety of scientific investigations and findings about biological evolution a fairy tale.
If Matt, or any other person, tried to talk to me on the street and tell me what "they" say, my first response would be: citation, please? Let's face it. People can say anything. I could not care less about what some anonymous someone claims. Where's the data? Not to mention my superskepticism about anything Matt says. His credibility level is at rock bottom with me.
The rib story is very likely derived from a “Just So” story that explains why human males don’t have a baculum (penis bone) while most mammals do.
@@kellydalstok8900 Yes. That is one translation. I saw that Ziony Zevit believes that. Very Freudian. But that doesn't make it necessarily "very likely". The word in question (צלע; tsela) can also be translated as "side" and fits well with other verses using the same term. In other words, Eve was made from Adam's side. Not literally. It's symbolic to describe humanity since Adam and Eve are representative of it. In this view, humans complement one another. Men and women work best at each other's side. It means the human race is formed in two parts, and both are necessary for the fullness of life, not just for reproduction.
These stories were originally written as symbolic, with deeper meanings beyond the superficial. Just as some people want to say the serpent in the Garden of Eden is some sort of phallic symbol (what is it with penises?). Which adds little to the story. But put it in the context of Near Eastern myths and we have the serpent representing both chaos and surrounding religions to the ancient Israelites. Thus we have the battle between God (order) and chaos. With God prevailing over chaos. And the Israelite God being stronger than the surrounding faiths, with the implicit warning of consequences for following them.
Not saying that is THE answer, or more or less likely. Just another view.
But we ARE descended from a rock. The third one. Counting from the sun. Mattie Peel thinks he came from dust and godfarts. 😏
Godfarts! 😂🤣
So Mat's point is that magic makes more sense than scientific theory. Got it.
I think my brain swallowed itself, that's the dumbest thing I've heard him say.
Matt literally thinks we come from clay instead of rocks.
And clay comes from eroded rocks.
clay is many tiny rocks
I lived with an Old Earth Creationist for MOST of my life (14 years) and it was through spite that I decided to learn about how Life came into existence! I think abiogensis is WAY more interesting than being fingersnapped like Q.
I think Q would be fascinating. How does it work? Where did they come from? How do they interact with each other? And so on.
Of course I would be interesting in the factual existence not the fiction some humans came up with.
Matt Powell: "Life doesn't come from rocks. It cum from duh ground dust wit duh magics breeved in from duh sky pappa!"
Matt may get his rocks off, asserting that we claim that we came from rocks,but he is the one with rocks in his head.
5:09 Of course I owe my life to Rock!
"Crazy train starts blaring in the background"
I don't get how they believe they're "free thinkers" when all their thought points to is "god did it", so follow god.
Being born in 1979 I’m sure my dads “rocks” were extremely bearded.
very good.....ha ha ha.
Dude ! TMI 🤣
Rocks with Beards is easily proven in the ‘Rocky’ documentary series. By Rocky III, he’s been punched in the face so many times, he sprouts a beard. Checkmate.
Behold: Evidence of Doktor Peel! If Matt Powell DOESN'T have a giant inflatable banana in his backyard which he calls Doktor Peel, then how is Doktor Peel in the thumbnail of this video?!
Checkmate, Theists!
Q.E.D.
@@dogwalker666 😂
I'm beginning to think PhD's issued by 'Patriot Bible Trailer and Ammunition Warehouse' aren't quite as rigorous and academic as I was told...
Kent hovinds wife must have had a beard, to protect her from his beatings
To be fair, Matt didn't say anything about what happens when you get body slammed to the floor...
"All life coming from rocks is stupid." Says the man who believes humans come from clay.
"These are some of the craziest things ..." - yes, Matt, they are. But do you know what the problem is? YOU are the only one who ever says them.
*Powell and the other religious grifters are the only ones who say that
Fixed that for you.
When Matt Powell speaks about evolution, all I hear is: "Cheese doodles smell Olsmobiles into existence with toast for feet and monkeys confirm seven buys thoughts of apples while my god says sceptics taste like blue."
Matt just makes me want to cry at the sheer stupidity he exudes. Seriously, I have had more coherent conversations with brick walls.
At the time of conception of my eldest son, I ate a lot of bananas. So my son came from bananas? That is utterly bananas!
Clicked on it as quick as I could because I saw my boy aron ra.
The biggest Irony is Matts precious myth says "Man was made from rock" as clay is broken down rock.
Mat cannot be trusted period; he learns from his felonious mentor.
By his own definition Matt evolved from his last breakfast.
So the garden story isn't a fairytale? My,my,my, when did we find the garden an adam an eve.
It's so sad to see Matt ripping off Kent Hovind lines.
Imagine thinking KENT HOVIND is worthy of being plagiarized.
It's the "Metal Loving" atheists like Aron Ra that make the most sense to me.
Doesn't Matt believe his god created humans from clay? That's even more stupid than being evolved from rocks!
According to the Bible nutters, Humans were moulded from clay and given life by an omnipotent, omniscient being.
Simplifying a process, by omitting essential intermediate steps, in order to make it sound absurd is .... exactly what Matt is doing ... Are you related?
You're forgetting the magic spell casting.
"According to evolution theory, we were punched so much in the face as primates that natural selection had to invent cushion to protect us"
...
What?
I'm tempted to accuse Matt of quote mining. But I don't think he has the intellect to understand the articles that well.
I'm pretty sure he's just parroting things that other creationists saw in headlines, and then misrepresented even that much.
They claim cosmology says we come from nothing and laugh, yet they litterally believe we were poofed in from nothing.
You get a like just be putting in the title "Matt Powell gets annoyed ... "
There's a delicious irony in hearing a man with (most likely cripplingly) serious Daddy issues telling other people to grow up. What a wretched experience being Matt Powell must be.

I thought by "Rock Loving" you meant the music genre.
Especially when we start with Aron Ra and Creaky Blinder, I've always assumed they had good taste in music that Matt Powell might find objectionable.
I did, too! I thought Cupcake had released a video about atheists who listen to "satanic" metal music, much like he released a video about how atheist youtubers who criticize him being nerds who are into anime and video games which apparently somehow makes their arguments invalid or something. That might have been amusing to watch. Too bad it was just Cupcake trotting out the old "Hurr, atheists believe we came from rocks" nonsense again.
@@memyselfandi4173 , yea, I was very disappointed that the video was about actual rocks lol.

Right? Once you look at it from that perspective, you can’t unsee it
You can set up an entire IMAX screen around Matt and watch movies on it, that's how much he's projecting.
Love your channel! It'd be great if you, Creaky, Sci-Man Dan, and perhaps Sir Sic could collaborate on an epic video. Lisa The Rainbow Giraffe bestows leafs upon you! Leaf be upon her. More Hen.
You should suggest that on the Twittersphere!
That would be a cheeky fun time. I don't twit (or is it tweet?). Can someone get this out there? @TheSkepTick do you know these guys? Maybe you could reach out?
@@FakingANerve yeah I don't tweet either. I have an account but barely used it.
Someone needs to tell Matty P that if you can’t repeat someone’s position back to them and have them say “yes that’s a more or less accurate representation of what I believe”. You have NO business debating them.
I eat pre-processed eroded rock, using rock teeth that I grew, mounted on rock bones that I grew. Half the rocks around here used to be living creatures.
I have stones forming in places I really don't want stones. But that's better than listening to Matt Powell.
My bones are semi metallic too. We would die without rocks in our blood stream too.
I honestly went WTF? When he mentioned beards. He's said some dumb crap over the years but that one is really at the top.
Matt Powell: Makes up ridiculous distortions of "what science says" so he can mock people for believing such nonsense ... even though no-one actually does.
Also Matt Powell: Believes snakes don't have legs because thousands of years ago one of them was cursed by an angry wizard.
It’s called a strawman
@@kellydalstok8900 Indeed. But his entire line of attack is flawed. Like Kent Hovind before him, he clearly hopes that if he can just make science sound ridiculous enough then a few simple-minded fools will reject science in favour of the Biblical account ... which is infinitely more ridiculous.
Trouble is, the Biblical account only sounds less ridiculous (to some) by virtue of having been repeated over and over for centuries, i.e. it's familiar BS rather than unfamiliar BS.
Therefore he's not going to convert anyone new with his approach. The best he can hope for is to shore up pre-existing beliefs (preaching to the converted) and maybe steer a few wavering believers back toward Christianity.
If his strategy fails to convert anyone new and is simply about trying to slow the rate of loss of existing believers then the overall trajectory of the number of believers remains a downward one.
But I suppose it's a good thing that he's too dumb to realize that.
Oh, and I love how Cupcake says WE believe in a fairytale. Ha-Ha-Ha!!! But... His book of fairytales is a book of science and facts? LOL!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He's also the one who think Suris is a trans because he use a CGI Cartoon avatar with boobs. Clearly Matt is unable to distinguish fiction from reality.
He does look like he's actually bald on top, then just grew & combed his side hair over. Just shave it off Matt.
ROCK 'N' ROLL! oh... does he mean the other rocks? MINERALS, MARIE!
I hate to be shallow here, but WTF is going on with Matt's hair?
“Magic sky-man done it” will always be easier to understand and less effort than thinking.
Find me an actual scientist who says life came from a rock That’s an insult invented by his cynical butt boy, Kent hovind
Actually, it's not ... he's just omitting a lot of detail from some of the most popular evolutionary theories. Many of the chemicals required for evolution came from rocks.
Rocks => Water flow => Mineral Extraction => Chemical Reactions => Acids and Proteins => Life
He simply words it as Rocks => Life
@@Kyrelel "Many of the chemicals required for evolution came from rocks."
Not really, no. The elements that created life are carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. All of those come from gases. Mostly gases in aqueous solution.
@@Kyrelel You're confusing evolution with abiogenesis. Don't go giving the creationists ammunition.
Did Matt forget about the concept of 'food'? That we incorporate minerals and other nutrients into ourselves through eating and digestion?
Yikes! Mattie Powell barely reads a pop-sci article title, and conflates that as "all of da scienters Believe on this!" Ugh. Such a simple mind to not understand hypotheticals and click- bait...
So according to Matt we're all golems...lol, I can live with that.
Btw, you've conditioned me in a way I was not expecting. There was a new staff starting at work and they told me their name was Lisa. Well, guess what came out of my mouth next??
Oh no!!!! Haha. I hope they took it well
“Grow up” said Matt. Except that’s exactly what we did! We grew up and tossed away the magic sky elf!
So at least 3 huge problems from where i sit:
1) nobody says we came from rocks. Nobody.
2) one does not have to accept evolution to be an athiest. So even if this was what evolution says ( which its obviously not) it still isn't a "gotcha" against atheists.
3) even if evolution were totally disproven, it still wouldn't mean a god exists.
Rock is another name for crack which would explain some of Matt's cognitive problems, it's very obvious to me that he does owe his life to rock.
Mat'ent sounds like the crappiest Pokémon ever!
Oh & it's evolved form Kenthew!
This is the ultimate comment for Powell's disingenuousness: "That it is what they believe- *whether they realise it or not* ....".
He is treating belief as purely a subscription to pre-established ideology. A set of doctrines which you "Sign up for" rather than simply what someone considers or understands to be reality.
As well as chucking all Atheists in one box and generalising them for his own benefit in terms of rhetoric it's just disrespectful. He is "Other-ing" rather than arguing his point.
He doesn't have any choice. It's not like he could get anywhere if he stuck to the facts.
My Maine Coon must have been punched in the stomach, and everywhere else, A LOT because he's SO darn fluffy. Thanks for the hilarious answer, Matt!
Matt's IQ is one of those imaginary numbers mathematicians sometimes use. Like "eleventeen" or "shittyfive".
and the square root of -1 ... thats an imaginary number ... its even called "i" for imaginary lol ;)
How dare those rocks get rained on! And erode? Are you kidding me?! Your rock man! You beat paper!!!
Paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper.
I always giggle a bit when Matt rolls out that whole "it rained on the rock for millions of years" bit that Hovind uses in his stupid presentation.
Matt's aware it rains on rocks somewhere on the planet literally every friggin day, to this fucking day, right? No probably not because his brain can't comprehend an area greater than the things he can see immediately in front of him.
I love how he Is constantly repeating "2 millions years of raining" like if IT has anything to do with abiogenesis. That phrase refer to Carnial Pluvial Episode. It was time where worldwide rainfall was absurdly high. It happened 234 to 232 millions years ago, in mid triassic. Early (technicly not let) mammals were around.
If he lived in the UK 2 million years of rain wouldn't sound strange.
I do believe there was a Frank Zappa song where he magically repeats "stop, I'm a rock"... I think
The beard evolved because we were getting punched in the face so much.Does the same follow for are pubic hair! lol
Oxygen and the atmosphere begets life.
"Oh my god, now atheists are saying that life came out of mid air."
Oh my god, the beard of the gaps
Human males probably retained facial hair as an indicator of their gender and sexual maturity as the hair grows in response to a hormone derived from testosterone. Women have hair follicles on their faces but these are not receptive to that hormone.
Being a "Rock Loving" atheist of sorts, I had my heart surgically replaced with a block of granite, just because it was the rockin' thing to do and granite doesn't break as easily as hearts do. 🤣🤣😂😂
Well, at the most fundamental level, we do come from rocks.
Can you imagine if Matty found out we have minerals in our current composition?
Dude, we are apes and we do contain minerals.
We should apply the same standard Matt applies to himself: I can't take him seriously because he believes the Flintstones literally happened. Everything in the Flintstones, including the alien, literally happened. And of course he will deny this because he doesn't understand that this is his belief.
remember there's a giant inflatable banana in mat back yard called doktor peel
You might also say that we descend from the sun, since we couldn't exist without the heavier materials produced by fusion in stellar cores. But that kind of makes us sound like badass demigods, and any species with Matt Powell as a member is the farthest thing from. He probably thinks beards come from face-punching because he himself has been punched in the face so many times.
I doubt little Mattie can grow one
