Bless their fragile little hearts, but they do get worked up over the silliest things.

Might as well bitch about forms asking if your family has a history of cancer. Doctors want that information to make sure they dont kill you.

Greetings from Scotland. I can confirm that the blood donation question is from a standard form. The guy must have been asked before.

I'm a 75 year old woman and had a total hysterectomy at 43. It's absolutely impossible for me to become pregnant. Yet, when I go for certain medical procedures I get the question "are you pregnant?". I check "no" without a second thought to this necessary question.
Because becoming pregnant is generally something that a woman can do unless something in her anatomy has broken down either before birth or after it. In your case, you probably developed cancer at some point in your life that necessitated the removal of your uterus, correct? It’s not unreasonable to ask women whether they are currently pregnant even if those women have had illnesses that have rendered them unable to become pregnant. It is unreasonable to ask a man that question as men can never become pregnant. Of course, what people are trying to do is change the definition of the words man and woman to mean something other than an adult human male and an adult human female but that’s a different story.
@@fredleysmom Why would it affect her world view? She’s a woman and women are always the people who are capable of being pregnant regardless of whether or not they have physical detriments that mean they can’t be pregnant. Men are not capable of pregnancy whether in principle or in fact.
@@mugikuyu9403 question doesn't care what's in your pants, it just wants to know you aren't currently pregnant. In addition to preventing harm if you *were* pregnant, it just allows them to know what would be considered abnormalities. Now, even without getting into the trans side of the discussion.. not all women were born with a uterus. They were assigned female at birth, they were raised a woman, they never had a uterus. You'd be hard pressed to say they're not still women though. Perhaps.. the genitals aren't intrinsically linked to womanhood after all?

Can guarantee the harder you try to define it, the more those you consider women would be excluded by it. Might even be easier for you to acknowledge not all women are female.

I once had a medical emergency when I was still breastfeeding but my had hair had already turned prematurely gray (like my grandfather’s). No one asked me if I was breastfeeding, and they gave me meds that were incompatible with breastfeeding. It wasn’t until days later that I found out. In the meantime my child got the medication too. I very much wish they would have asked if I was breastfeeding.
I once filled in the “yes” box on being pregnant because I was feeling like winding up some people. A nurse told me off with a smirk on his face. Fun times.
15:20 "Did the incluide him or not?" In fact, they did. They asked him the same question they asked everyone else. He refused to answer, so, they did what they always do when someone refuses to answer. They treated him equal. He doesn't like it.
That's the thing that gets me. You can have no trouble answering it, you can have a laugh about the dumbness of the required checkbox, you can even make a weird moral stand and refuse to answer. But putting it on the internet? Other people make a big deal about it with articles and commentary? It's just weird.
That is the first time I have heard you say what sort of cancer you had Paul. As an Oncology RN who gives chemo and looks after the aftermath ....so glad to see you have done well. Many don't survive sarcoma.
As I understand, people tend to have a worst prognosis with sarcoma not because it's a particularly aggressive cancer, but because they're late to get a diagnosis
I used to give blood every time the blood drive van was on campus. Took no time at all even with the "lengthy" questionnaire. I am a male born in 94, yet I always had to check the box 'no' that I hadn't traveled to Europe back in the 80s. I also had to specify I was not pregnant and was not planning on becoming pregnant. People really can get upset about anything
I have been deconverted from the christian religion for several years now, after leaving an abusive relationship and temporarily falling into a cult-like christian organization. Just wanted to thank you for these videos, I enjoy your work. Usually amusing, always informative.
Questions regarding pregnancy appear on most medical waivers. There is no point making a separate set for men and women just so transphobes don't get offended. Also men had to answer the same question before getting their covid booster shots here in Hungary, a country that sadly doesn't legally recognize transgender any more. So maybe that's not the implication of that question?! It's simply a matter of having a complete, procedurally valid waiver. (Bodie was acting like an ass with his "N/A" answer anyway. It's not like "Are you pregnant?" is a "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" type of trick question. Also I think he is old enough to have seen Junior...)
In my country we have compulsory prayer in schools, that feels like war on children. In the USA restriction of access to reproductive health care feels like the war on women.
Kids are moving away from "belief" because they have access to massively more information than previous generations. When kids ask questions about theology and their parents / religious leaders tell them it's wrong to question god -- they can ask their question to other people and get actual answers.
My mom who has been Mormon since 1988, and all of my siblings and I were raised in it and my dad is a priesthood holder, was called by the president of the relief society (the women's group in the congregation), and she told her that her walk with God is her own and she will not be returning because of how the church is treating trans individuals. I am FtM and she is very supportive. She told her that it is off putting that the church is driving people away instead of welcoming them. The woman she spoke with said she is hearing that a lot recently and has a trans daughter. It is very confusing for a lot of members right now, and is driving them from the church in large numbers. It was very heartwarming when she told me the story about the phone call. I love how supportive she is.
"It is very confusing for a lot of members right now" I'm not sure why it confusing them. Did they actually think it woudl be any other way? Do they actually know anything about the Church? I can imagine it is bothering them, because they HOPED it wouldn't be this way, but now that it affects them, they are discovering what it's really about. "She told her that it is off putting that the church is driving people away instead of welcoming them." This isn't new. The church is happy to welcome those it deems acceptable, and happy to pretend to accept those who are sufficiently hidden about themselves, but when it comes to coming out? Since when has that been welcomed?
When I’m asked if I’m pregnant I say “only if I’m the next Mary” because I’m asexual and it would be an actual miracle. The way AiG freak out on the simplest things.
As a 68 year old woman I am not sure wether I should check the not pregnant box or the not applicable box at a medical appointment. I switch it up because they are both true.
When I was divorced and in my mid to late 40s would get asked if there was a chance that I was pregnant, I would laugh in my head. If I was it would have been a miracle if I was. I would just look at people as say no - I am not sexually active and just watch their reaction…. If I am not getting an X-ray or at my OBGYN it is not your business.
@@willow6049 I got the same set of things when I was living in a sexless marriage in my late-30s. That, and the talks about birth control. Most irritating were those who were concerned that I hadn't had children - when was I going to have children, and how horrible it would be when my biological clock ran out. I'd never wanted children anyway. Granted, the sexless marriage was a real drag, but when somebody says they're NOT pregnant, it's probably none of your business.
I saw "Ham & Aig News" and "posted 8 hours ago," and clicked so fast my thumb broke the sound barrier. Then I heard Morgan's voice, and went "Awwwwwwwwwwwwww, yyyyeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhh!"
When I saw Morgan was back, I immediately hit the like button. You just know you’re in for a serious sass fest when she helps cover Ken and the Hambones!! Can we please call the OG crew this going forward?
Paul you're in my top three favorites. Always measured and reasonable, and so damn smart. Demonstrating understanding of the opposite side is huge, and coming from a hard core Christian background myself, it's refreshing to see people like you being able to take on their views from a place of understanding.
Gotta love how transparent Ken was with his disdain for the actual science. Just give him the grade school summary, that confirms what he wants to believe. And take it easy Morgan, it sounds like you may be getting deep enough into this BS to mess with your head a little. I'll thank you for doing what you can, but look after your sanity.
If more people would realize how much they have to lie to defend their pathetic religion.. open their eyes, they will leave it. Once I opened my eyes and realized religion is a lie, and I was like, not only lying to people, but myself.. I left it. The Bible is merely a poorly written comic book. Period.
I also am a male who had a mammogram. I was treated with respect and felt no embarrassment. They told me that lots of men won't go, risking their lives because of macho stupidity.
He said people without a college degree were more likely to believe in God. I have always said the dumber a person is the more extreme their beliefs and conviction in religion
I don't think that's really true, though. I don't mean this as a validation of religious belief, only to point out that believing in silly things does not clearly establish someone as stupid, and being smart doesn't mean the person doesn't believe in silly things. See Isaac Newton for instance.
The interesting thing is that this video demeaning people who aren't appropriately like them is a perfect example of why people are deciding to move away from religion, or at least organized religion. They're answering their own question.
I love you Paul. You kill me sometimes. 🤣 On another note I never knew you had cancer, I'm really glad you're still around for me to enjoy your content. 🙇♂️👩🎤🤘
I love this theme song. I have found this channel while in hospital with pneumonia in 2019 (I was ahead of the times), and watched the ham and AiGs whole backlog to help me get by. And it did cheer me up. Thanks Paul!
"Oh look it's changed again" as an insult against "secularism" has to be one of the most astonishingly dumb things I have ever heard out of the mouth of somebody who allegedly holds a Ph.D.
"Whole blood" means just what it sounds like. As opposed to donating plasma (or selling it to make rent, like I used to), or platelets. For the latter two, they hook you up to a machine, separate out what they need, and them pump what's left back into you.
She was going by a picture, which was probably a stock photo used for the article. I can't even remember now what the point was about what whether the blood was whole or not.
For the "Are you pregnant" question (they check your written answers verbally) I would usually make a joke like "I'm a bit old" or "I know I look like it" but then give them a "no" - you can have a bit of fun, but answer the questions

I think Paul spaces these out just far enough for me to forget how infuriating these ignorant bigots are. Thanks, Paul! Seriously, though. It's fun to see Morgan back.
"There's not an answer for everything, but there is an excuse". That is going on my fridge! I have reconverted, and you are one of my favourite channels. Always there with educated insights. Thank you.
Morgan is hilarious. There were times during the video where I would have shot milk out of my nose (had I been drinking milk) from explosively laughing.
"So they found this evidence which contradicts the previously held opinions on what happened so they started re-evaulating their positions! Silly them" Yeah god forbid we base our positions on the evidence, should be more like them and say "Universe's mysterious ways" or "miracle" and continue on with our lives, bet creationists would be absolutely content then.
"Kids are brainwashed at secular colleges." I mean my doubts became louder and began my deconstruction while in a Christian missions based program on a missions trip. It is just hilarious how they assume that going to a Christian college will fix everything.
In my experience, a Christian college doesn't fix it, it merely delays it. When they get out of Christian college and face the real world, they are just as likely to fall off.
@@flowingafterglow629 It seems like the only thing which really does it is fear.

… when the “persecution” is that they are not allowed to lynch people who believe (even slightly) differently from them or that the state does not sponsor their (and only their) religion …
First off, Morgan - you're amazing, I was cracking up at your reactions through this entire video. Second, Paul - I MUST know the context of the video clip of you running from security at the creation museum. I assume this is in a past video?
Paul, you will never be out of a job, because just like on the Titanic, Ken Ham and his group,are the band that played on as the ship sank. Even if it was just down to you and Ken people will still watch. I know atheists that went to Christian schools because it was a better school. They just had to sit through the religion classes.
For the kids' suicide rates in states with access to trans drugs, the first thing I would look at is measurement error. If you're in a state in which the government has said kids cannot have access to trans drugs because that's just wrong, do we think that those kids might be less likely to report or even admit being trans? Probably not.
Prosperity and education correlate quiet strongly with rising disbelief. When people have the resources, time, and knowledge needed to question traditional supernatural claims they are less likely to believe.
Or more likely, you don't actually need the comfort of religion, when secular institutions are doing their job well in providing our needs. It's what Marx describe as 'Opium of the Masses', but one doesn't keep pumping morphine while your organs are rotting.
AIG: "Science learned something new (about Mars) -- therefore science is bad". Also AIG: "Science learned something new (about genetics) -- therefore science is good". I really wish these people could be consistent and not so hypocritical all the time.
Can God hold a global press conference and settle the question of His existence? Absolutely. But He wants people to discuss it among themselves first before He passes judgement.
I remember having to answer if was pregnant for my pfizer shots. I frowned, then giggled, then just answered the question. I really cannot see any problem here. Sure you can be a tool about it and don't answer, sabotaging the form you're filling out and making things needlessly complicated. And for what? They're asking if the human being answering the question is/has been pregnant. If that's not physically possible --- then NO is the answer. It can't be that hard.
A well constructed form can make people more likely to answer, and in this case they actually want something from the guy - he is doing someone else a favour, so making it more difficult will turn people away.
18:38 Wait... who cares more about virtue signaling exactly? The person who refused to donate blood because they wanted to make a statement about how transphobic they are? Or the organization that doesn't let people donate if they don't completely fill out the health questionnaire?
I'm surprised they actually acknowledged other gods. Most my experience with these types has been them thinking their god is the only one anyone could possibly believe in.
As a male I have been checking I'm not pregnant on medical forms for decades, what is the problem (both in the UK and Canada) MRI, X-Ray, CT, Surgery forms. Why should the question be a problem, storm in a teacup.
It's not really a problem, they are acting as if it's a problem and a recent phenomenon to try to get leverage in their argument that the trend toward greater acceptance of trans people is a bad thing.
@paulogia The funny part is that most states, even conservatives ones have laws of when a Kid can decide medical needs for themselves without the parents consent. These laws have been affect for years not something recent. Where I live here in Alabama, which is one of the most conservative states in the union, the age is 14 years old. At age 14 a child can tell his/her/their parents that they are not even allowed back with the doctor's visit and can make all medical decisions for themselves. Been this way for over or close to 100 years here. Most people do not know this, even the ones that live in this state.
I noticed a progression of claims from the study to the article to AIG. It's like the telephone game in a way. The research paper on synonymous mutations was titled: Synonymous mutations in representative yeast genes are mostly strongly non-neutral The Science Daily article added "are harmful": Most 'silent' genetic mutations are harmful, not neutral -- a finding with broad implications The research paper has a qualifier in the abstract: The strong non-neutrality of most synonymous mutations, if it holds true for other genes and in other organisms, would require re-examination of numerous biological conclusions about mutation, selection, effective population size, divergence time and disease mechanisms that rely on the assumption that synoymous mutations are neutral. The Science Daily article instead of the qualifier quoted the research team stating: The U-M-led team said that while there is no particular reason why their results would be restricted to yeast, confirmations in diverse organisms are required to verify the generality of their findings. Neither the Science Daily article or the study claim they have shown evolution can't be true; AIG adds that.
@@RayKosby Even if we found out that almost all mutations are non-neutral, that doesn't at all strike at the central concepts of evolution. There would still be beneficial mutations to be selected for. Also, many people can't seem to grasp that whether a mutation is harmful or beneficial can be a function of the environment, rather than something intrinsic. The sickle cell gene is beneficial to individuals in a malaria ridden environment in its heterozygous presentation. In its homozygous presentation it is always harmful to the individual, but the population as a whole benefits from its existence, in those environments.
I didn't even know the Other Paul and Morgan were still going so I went and checked; they seem to have mellowed a bit in their views, thankfully. Still not my bag though.

@@brianjaeger9565 ‘bread and circuses’; enjoy, simpleton ;)
Back in 2000 I had to have surgery and they asked me a 6'5" male viking looking beast, I had no problems answering at 18...
That's the thing that gets me. You can have no trouble answering it, you can have a laugh about the dumbness of the required checkbox, you can even make a weird moral stand and refuse to answer. But putting it on the internet? Other people make a big deal about it with articles and commentary? It's just weird.
That is the first time I have heard you say what sort of cancer you had Paul. As an Oncology RN who gives chemo and looks after the aftermath ....so glad to see you have done well. Many don't survive sarcoma.
Yes. Like Technoblade...
His place in our hearts will never die.
As I understand, people tend to have a worst prognosis with sarcoma not because it's a particularly aggressive cancer, but because they're late to get a diagnosis
@@sniperwolf50 . Yep that’s how it works.
I used to give blood every time the blood drive van was on campus. Took no time at all even with the "lengthy" questionnaire.
I am a male born in 94, yet I always had to check the box 'no' that I hadn't traveled to Europe back in the 80s. I also had to specify I was not pregnant and was not planning on becoming pregnant.
People really can get upset about anything
See my comment above. They have their "I Am Persecuted Detector" set to "Christian Snowflake" setting. That's as high as it can go, way past 11.
Being a male, I just put "not applicable"; never had a problem.
I have been deconverted from the christian religion for several years now, after leaving an abusive relationship and temporarily falling into a cult-like christian organization. Just wanted to thank you for these videos, I enjoy your work. Usually amusing, always informative.
I lost my faith in college because met wonderful people who weren't Christian.
Questions regarding pregnancy appear on most medical waivers. There is no point making a separate set for men and women just so transphobes don't get offended. Also men had to answer the same question before getting their covid booster shots here in Hungary, a country that sadly doesn't legally recognize transgender any more. So maybe that's not the implication of that question?! It's simply a matter of having a complete, procedurally valid waiver. (Bodie was acting like an ass with his "N/A" answer anyway. It's not like "Are you pregnant?" is a "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" type of trick question. Also I think he is old enough to have seen Junior...)
In my country we have compulsory prayer in schools, that feels like war on children.
In the USA restriction of access to reproductive health care feels like the war on women.
Kids are moving away from "belief" because they have access to massively more information than previous generations. When kids ask questions about theology and their parents / religious leaders tell them it's wrong to question god -- they can ask their question to other people and get actual answers.
Ken: We're not very political...
Morgan: Roll tape...
^_^
I've missed Morgan.
Well, they also claim they are Christians when they are not even honouring “love thy neighbour”.
My mom who has been Mormon since 1988, and all of my siblings and I were raised in it and my dad is a priesthood holder, was called by the president of the relief society (the women's group in the congregation), and she told her that her walk with God is her own and she will not be returning because of how the church is treating trans individuals. I am FtM and she is very supportive. She told her that it is off putting that the church is driving people away instead of welcoming them.
The woman she spoke with said she is hearing that a lot recently and has a trans daughter. It is very confusing for a lot of members right now, and is driving them from the church in large numbers.
It was very heartwarming when she told me the story about the phone call. I love how supportive she is.
"It is very confusing for a lot of members right now"
I'm not sure why it confusing them. Did they actually think it woudl be any other way? Do they actually know anything about the Church?
I can imagine it is bothering them, because they HOPED it wouldn't be this way, but now that it affects them, they are discovering what it's really about.
"She told her that it is off putting that the church is driving people away instead of welcoming them."
This isn't new. The church is happy to welcome those it deems acceptable, and happy to pretend to accept those who are sufficiently hidden about themselves, but when it comes to coming out? Since when has that been welcomed?
So so happy to hear of your loving mother’s support! And good on her for not staying silent.
I was a member of the mormon church when this came down. Left immediately.
When I’m asked if I’m pregnant I say “only if I’m the next Mary” because I’m asexual and it would be an actual miracle. The way AiG freak out on the simplest things.
As a 68 year old woman I am not sure wether I should check the not pregnant box or the not applicable box at a medical appointment. I switch it up because they are both true.
When I was divorced and in my mid to late 40s would get asked if there was a chance that I was pregnant, I would laugh in my head. If I was it would have been a miracle if I was. I would just look at people as say no - I am not sexually active and just watch their reaction…. If I am not getting an X-ray or at my OBGYN it is not your business.
@@willow6049 I got the same set of things when I was living in a sexless marriage in my late-30s. That, and the talks about birth control. Most irritating were those who were concerned that I hadn't had children - when was I going to have children, and how horrible it would be when my biological clock ran out. I'd never wanted children anyway. Granted, the sexless marriage was a real drag, but when somebody says they're NOT pregnant, it's probably none of your business.
When I tell you that I clicked SO FAST on the notification for this video. Love the Paul & Morgan duo taking on AiG!
Ironic that their names are Paul and Morgan!! That confused me for a moment.
I saw "Ham & Aig News" and "posted 8 hours ago," and clicked so fast my thumb broke the sound barrier.
Then I heard Morgan's voice, and went "Awwwwwwwwwwwwww, yyyyeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhh!"
When I saw Morgan was back, I immediately hit the like button.
You just know you’re in for a serious sass fest when she helps cover Ken and the Hambones!!
Can we please call the OG crew this going forward?
I think I will have to start a Bluegrass band and steal that from you.
Paul you're in my top three favorites. Always measured and reasonable, and so damn smart. Demonstrating understanding of the opposite side is huge, and coming from a hard core Christian background myself, it's refreshing to see people like you being able to take on their views from a place of understanding.
Gotta love how transparent Ken was with his disdain for the actual science. Just give him the grade school summary, that confirms what he wants to believe.
And take it easy Morgan, it sounds like you may be getting deep enough into this BS to mess with your head a little. I'll thank you for doing what you can, but look after your sanity.
Ken Ham: we don't talk a lot about politics [SUPER CUT OF POLITICAL TALKING]
Ken Ham being incorrect?! Who could've seen that coming.
If more people would realize how much they have to lie to defend their pathetic religion.. open their eyes, they will leave it. Once I opened my eyes and realized religion is a lie, and I was like, not only lying to people, but myself.. I left it. The Bible is merely a poorly written comic book. Period.
Good to see more of Morgan again! Like we've traveled back in time!
By the grace of God!
I also am a male who had a mammogram. I was treated with respect and felt no embarrassment. They told me that lots of men won't go, risking their lives because of macho stupidity.
He said people without a college degree were more likely to believe in God. I have always said the dumber a person is the more extreme their beliefs and conviction in religion
I don't think that's really true, though. I don't mean this as a validation of religious belief, only to point out that believing in silly things does not clearly establish someone as stupid, and being smart doesn't mean the person doesn't believe in silly things. See Isaac Newton for instance.
@@tetsujin_144 I would agree but overall percentage wise the less educated you are the more religious. From my observation anyway
The interesting thing is that this video demeaning people who aren't appropriately like them is a perfect example of why people are deciding to move away from religion, or at least organized religion. They're answering their own question.
I love you Paul. You kill me sometimes. 🤣
On another note I never knew you had cancer, I'm really glad you're still around for me to enjoy your content. 🙇♂️👩🎤🤘
I love this theme song. I have found this channel while in hospital with pneumonia in 2019 (I was ahead of the times), and watched the ham and AiGs whole backlog to help me get by. And it did cheer me up.
Thanks Paul!
I'm so glad!
❤️❤️❤️
Congrats on the 100k subscribers!
Oh no! I fell for the clickbait title of Ken Hamm being pregnant. 😄
Oh no!
"Oh look it's changed again" as an insult against "secularism" has to be one of the most astonishingly dumb things I have ever heard out of the mouth of somebody who allegedly holds a Ph.D.
I'm not sure how you came up with Ham and AIGS but it's brilliant. I've wanted to say that for a long time
"Whole blood" means just what it sounds like.
As opposed to donating plasma (or selling it to make rent, like I used to), or platelets.
For the latter two, they hook you up to a machine, separate out what they need, and them pump what's left back into you.
Exactly, plasma is skimmed.
@@ziploc2000 🤣🤣🤣
She was going by a picture, which was probably a stock photo used for the article. I can't even remember now what the point was about what whether the blood was whole or not.
@@Cheepchipsable it wasn't relevant to the story, just figured i'd answer the question
@@ziploc2000 thanks, I _finally_ got it, Morgan made a "whole milk"-joke. Uuuuggh-aah. Groan.
"Won't somebody please think of the words!"
Had a good laugh at that.
As alwayd love the Ch. thanks for the upload!
20:00 It's a Bodie fallacy. This happens when you commit the logical fallacy of being Bodie. The solution is to not be Bodie.
But, how do we make Bodie, not be Bodie?
@@kdarkwynde That is why you keep a god/wizard/holy spirit around, just in case you need a miracle. Or a magic missile. Or a fireball.
For the "Are you pregnant" question (they check your written answers verbally) I would usually make a joke like "I'm a bit old" or "I know I look like it" but then give them a "no" - you can have a bit of fun, but answer the questions
That's why I loved Paul's "I haven't had my first period, yet" answer.
I bet the nurse laughed out loud when she read that.
Male: yeah, sure, I am pregnant, with an elephant, the trunk is already showing …
@@advorak8529 😂
Ham&AiGs with Morgan is always great
Not really. She didn't give good arguments. Just got mad a bunch. Below this channel's standards.
@@PhysicsPolice Yeah I find her more of an assault on my eardrums. Ironically not far from some religious types that use this tactic.
@@Cheepchipsable I try not to criticize people for things they can’t really control. Holy Koolaid makes my ears bleed, too, but at least he has a well-edited script and speaks in complete sentences.
@@PhysicsPolice Dude, the purpose of this video was comic relief, not philosophical deconstruction. Do you know what "laugh" means?
@@donnievance1942 so you agree it’s below the normal standards of this channel?
“Here are the planets” It is worse than that: the authors of Genesis didn’t know the difference between planets and stars.
Genesis considers the Moon a big light but I think it is only a reflector.
Morgan: "...answer the f**king question!"
Classic Morgan!
I'm ecstatic to see Morgan back, it's been far too long. I'm glad to see that her wit is as sharp as ever. keep up the good work.
Ecstatic?
What whit? She just complained for a half hour without making a single coherent argument.
@@PhysicsPolice Not a single coherent argument ??? Ken Ham “We don’t’ deal with politics much”. Argument: Ken’s statement is wrong. Demonstration of proof: Montage of clips showing AiG dealing with politics. Q.E.D. I guessed you missed that one of many.
@@aaronhoney2217 didn’t Paulogia edit that together himself…?
@@PhysicsPolice It's literally on his channel. They worked together to make this episode. >>
100k LETS GOOO CONGRATS!!!
For the record, Georgia Purdom does have a PhD in microbiology from The Ohio State University in 2000. Her PhD adviser was Michael Ostrowski, and her thesis was "The role of the microphthalmia transcription factor (MITF) in the regulation of gene expression during osteoclast differentiation"
I'm her biggest fan!
It'd be nice if PhDs could be revoked if you get your credentials only to go on to peddle snake oil and con people out of money.
Yes. We know she holds a legitimate PHd.
I think Paul spaces these out just far enough for me to forget how infuriating these ignorant bigots are. Thanks, Paul!
Seriously, though. It's fun to see Morgan back.
Paul said it’s because Ken Ham nowadays appears rarely on the show and it’s not very interesting to make “Ham and Aigs” videos without Ham.
@@pansepot1490
heh...well I prefer the conspiracy theory that involves Paul intentionally making me mad.
OMFG That Blues Brothers clip was so spot on 😄
"There's not an answer for everything, but there is an excuse". That is going on my fridge! I have reconverted, and you are one of my favourite channels. Always there with educated insights. Thank you.
*..always a good answer ... always a bad excuse.
Morgan is hilarious. There were times during the video where I would have shot milk out of my nose (had I been drinking milk) from explosively laughing.
I totally missed this video! How?? Morgan!! I must have thought it was an old video in my feed.
Forms you have to fill in at medical facilities are generic (keeps costs down and prevents confusion).
"So they found this evidence which contradicts the previously held opinions on what happened so they started re-evaulating their positions! Silly them"
Yeah god forbid we base our positions on the evidence, should be more like them and say "Universe's mysterious ways" or "miracle" and continue on with our lives, bet creationists would be absolutely content then.
I can't speak for everybody but as for myself. I just couldn't swallow that BS anymore.
Speaking of BS, that was the most cursing I have ever heard on this channel. I agree with every word.
"Kids are brainwashed at secular colleges." I mean my doubts became louder and began my deconstruction while in a Christian missions based program on a missions trip. It is just hilarious how they assume that going to a Christian college will fix everything.
In my experience, a Christian college doesn't fix it, it merely delays it. When they get out of Christian college and face the real world, they are just as likely to fall off.
They are projectin what they actually do to others, and they don't even realize it! It would be funny if the results weren't so horrible.
@@flowingafterglow629 It seems like the only thing which really does it is fear. It seems like all of the seriously devout have had their curiosity squashed by overwhelming fear of what they might find or what they might lose in the process. I usually don't like speculating about motives like this, but as an observation to feels very compelling.
Hey! Congratulations! I just noticed that you have 100k subscribers! 🎉🎊🍾🍨
“Cause god sucks, next question.” Words like that are why I ❤ you guys.
10:00 Wait, Canada has a right wing Bible Belt? As a British citizen, and thus part owner of Canada, I must insist we do something about this travesty…
This made me laugh so fucking hard
We need more Morgan!!!
Finally, a decent helping of Ham & AiGs
Good breakfast, good way to start the day
Yah! Ken Ham is back!!!!!
Morgan and Paul - this takes me back. Love this team!
This Paul and Morgan show is way better than the other one I've seen. 🤔
@@galacticbob1 Yeah, when I heard “Paul and Morgan” I had an extremely creepy feeling travel my spine. Even though I knew it was a different Paul and Morgan in my heart, the flight-or-fight response was triggered.
@@Rosyna you're not alone! I had a surreal "wait what video did I click?!" moment, before I recognized Morgan's voice and had a visceral "Fuck Yeah!" reaction. 😅
I absolutely love how she simps for Georgia 😆 it's too much. Dr. Giggles! ❤️ 👏
Congratulations on 100k subs.
Thanks!
A classic Han and Aig news. Morgan was great as always. Love it!
Hey it’s the original Paul & Morgan! 🙌🏼 Awesomeballs
Isn't it amazing how decent STEAM education leads to more people who no longer believe in magic.
Paul is winning. Cuz you're awesome. You're a star, friend. You absolutely shine. That's why you are a winner, Paul.
A wonderful montage 10/10
It's hilarious when Christians say they're persecuted 😄
… when the “persecution” is that they are not allowed to lynch people who believe (even slightly) differently from them or that the state does not sponsor their (and only their) religion …
First off, Morgan - you're amazing, I was cracking up at your reactions through this entire video. Second, Paul - I MUST know the context of the video clip of you running from security at the creation museum. I assume this is in a past video?
I think a bunch of atheists held a protest out there years ago, but maybe it's rom something else.
Paul, you will never be out of a job, because just like on the Titanic, Ken Ham and his group,are the band that played on as the ship sank. Even if it was just down to you and Ken people will still watch.
I know atheists that went to Christian schools because it was a better school. They just had to sit through the religion classes.
For the kids' suicide rates in states with access to trans drugs, the first thing I would look at is measurement error. If you're in a state in which the government has said kids cannot have access to trans drugs because that's just wrong, do we think that those kids might be less likely to report or even admit being trans? Probably not.
Awesome love the ham and AIGs format , it's what got me into your channel 👍👍
Prosperity and education correlate quiet strongly with rising disbelief. When people have the resources, time, and knowledge needed to question traditional supernatural claims they are less likely to believe.
Or more likely, you don't actually need the comfort of religion, when secular institutions are doing their job well in providing our needs. It's what Marx describe as 'Opium of the Masses', but one doesn't keep pumping morphine while your organs are rotting.
AIG: "Science learned something new (about Mars) -- therefore science is bad".
Also AIG: "Science learned something new (about genetics) -- therefore science is good".
I really wish these people could be consistent and not so hypocritical all the time.
Holy SHIT YOU SAID IT
A good old fashioned Ham & Aig news episode so quickly after I asked for one? Who says wishes don't come true?
Prayers only answered on this side of the aisle, thank youuuuu
Amazing, lack of education leads to believing without evidence.
Laughed my ass off - she's great... You should have Morgan on more often.
"Allegedly."
A delightful cap that amplifies the joke so very succinctly.
Can God hold a global press conference and settle the question of His existence?
Absolutely.
But He wants people to discuss it among themselves first
before He passes judgement.
We had a form we had to fill out at work once a year. The first question was Can You Read? Y/N.
"Is Ken Ham pregnant?" Could be. With Ken Ham anything is possible.
A virgin birth perhaps?
I also love when they try and use science to prove science is wrong...
I remember having to answer if was pregnant for my pfizer shots. I frowned, then giggled, then just answered the question. I really cannot see any problem here. Sure you can be a tool about it and don't answer, sabotaging the form you're filling out and making things needlessly complicated. And for what? They're asking if the human being answering the question is/has been pregnant. If that's not physically possible --- then NO is the answer. It can't be that hard.
A well constructed form can make people more likely to answer, and in this case they actually want something from the guy - he is doing someone else a favour, so making it more difficult will turn people away.
@@Cheepchipsable Having to answer no is "making it more difficult?" Wow, I've heard of snowflakes before but-- wow, just wow.
Thank you.
18:38 Wait... who cares more about virtue signaling exactly? The person who refused to donate blood because they wanted to make a statement about how transphobic they are? Or the organization that doesn't let people donate if they don't completely fill out the health questionnaire?
I know Morgan has been on some of the live stuff but I got giddy seeing her here on Ham & AiG news
I'm surprised they actually acknowledged other gods. Most my experience with these types has been them thinking their god is the only one anyone could possibly believe in.
the bible does not deny their existence.
@@Plethorality confirms it, multiple times. The usual gymnastics are involved to ignore it thou.
Thank you Morgan and Paul. 🤓💚
20:01 *Raise my hand for answering the question like I'm in classe* It is a non-sequiter.
As a male I have been checking I'm not pregnant on medical forms for decades, what is the problem (both in the UK and Canada) MRI, X-Ray, CT, Surgery forms. Why should the question be a problem, storm in a teacup.
It's not really a problem, they are acting as if it's a problem and a recent phenomenon to try to get leverage in their argument that the trend toward greater acceptance of trans people is a bad thing.
i feel as though part of it was for attention
@paulogia The funny part is that most states, even conservatives ones have laws of when a Kid can decide medical needs for themselves without the parents consent. These laws have been affect for years not something recent. Where I live here in Alabama, which is one of the most conservative states in the union, the age is 14 years old. At age 14 a child can tell his/her/their parents that they are not even allowed back with the doctor's visit and can make all medical decisions for themselves. Been this way for over or close to 100 years here. Most people do not know this, even the ones that live in this state.
Morgan is savage I love it
I noticed a progression of claims from the study to the article to AIG. It's like the telephone game in a way.
The research paper on synonymous mutations was titled:
Synonymous mutations in representative yeast genes are mostly strongly non-neutral
The Science Daily article added "are harmful":
Most 'silent' genetic mutations are harmful, not neutral -- a finding with broad implications
The research paper has a qualifier in the abstract:
The strong non-neutrality of most synonymous mutations, if it holds true for other genes and in other organisms, would require re-examination of numerous biological conclusions about mutation, selection, effective population size, divergence time and disease mechanisms that rely on the assumption that synoymous mutations are neutral.
The Science Daily article instead of the qualifier quoted the research team stating:
The U-M-led team said that while there is no particular reason why their results would be restricted to yeast, confirmations in diverse organisms are required to verify the generality of their findings.
Neither the Science Daily article or the study claim they have shown evolution can't be true; AIG adds that.
And so something mundane becomes legendary 😉
@@SilverMKI I don't know how mundane it is but it certainly was misused by AIG.
@@RayKosby Even if we found out that almost all mutations are non-neutral, that doesn't at all strike at the central concepts of evolution. There would still be beneficial mutations to be selected for. Also, many people can't seem to grasp that whether a mutation is harmful or beneficial can be a function of the environment, rather than something intrinsic. The sickle cell gene is beneficial to individuals in a malaria ridden environment in its heterozygous presentation. In its homozygous presentation it is always harmful to the individual, but the population as a whole benefits from its existence, in those environments.
@@donnievance1942 I agree. The only thing this discovery, if true, strikes at is how synonymous mutations are viewed.
I like this Paul and Morgan better than the other one.
excellent taste
I didn't even know the Other Paul and Morgan were still going so I went and checked; they seem to have mellowed a bit in their views, thankfully. Still not my bag though.
