@EmmaThorneVideos God confusing language does make sense in the narrative if you realize the reason the Bible says he was angry. It is a misconception that God was angered because they were "building a tower to reach the heavens". In actuality he was upset because they were working together on something and he feared they could accomplish anything if they worked together. So he then destroyed what they were working on and confused their language to make it harder for them to cooperate with each other. I'm an atheist, so this to me explains one more example of him being an a*hole.

It's fascinating how many creationists will inadvertently claim that before the fall, all animals were herbivores and that was a good thing. But you will be hardpressed to find creationists who are vegan activists.
Right?! The world was perfect and in heaven the lion will lay with the lamb. That's the ideal. But God forbid you want this *now*, nooo. Because God gave us animals to eat. Like what?
What a pitiful designer to have put all those BIG sharp biting, holding, ripping teeth into those poor vegan raptors. One would think the Creator would have given them molars.
On rare occasions you can find them at least being strict vegetarians, and a few major players in this claim do say we should be vegan because that is the diet we’re meant to follow.
I love how these creationist depictions of dinosaurs always match Hollywood movies made a generation or so prior, rather than current scientific advancements. The "Creationist Museums" were still displaying paintings of dinosaurs as lumbering, tail-dragging overgrown lizards in the "Hot-Blooded Dinosaur Renaissance" Era (1980's and 90's), and now they're showing raptors as naked and scaly as they are in the Jurassic Park films, even though it's widely accept now that they had feathers.
It's actually highly dependent on the family and species. A lot of the theropods like trex had feathers but large sections of dinosauria did not. Examples include ceratopsia, allosauridae, and sauropoda were all scaled.
I have a Master's Degree in structural engineering. If that "engineer" is going to make _public_ claims about the structural viability of the Ark he needs to publish _publicly_ his model and analysis, so that other engineers can check his work and the validity of the public statements he makes as an engineer. For all we know he could be a "sanitation engineer" at the local Walmart.
Maybe he put his hollowed-out empty piece of wood in a baby pool and it didn't sink. Not sure how this relates to an overloaded, 150m long wooden coffin.

Nevermind that, by being all-seeing and all-knowing God knew that humanity was doomed to fall into depravity thanks to Adam and Eve consuming the fruit of knowledge of good and evil. God really should have just obliterated them, and started over with fresh humans. Maybe moved the problem tree while he was at it, or at least built a solid fence around it.
Yup. It really seems like their god took the most difficult possible option, which requires multiple major miracles to make work instead of the simple and effective one.

I met Noah in a dream and pointed out something to him: You know how God created all the animals in just one day? Well, he could have saved you a lot of hassle by just killing them all off in the flood and then create them all anew, afterwards, in just one day...." Noah started sobbing.
Well that's an interesting point as if you read the original Hebrew you'll get the idea there is at least 2 floods. You also get the idea that the whole creation thing happened 'before". This isn't in the Bible perse but it's hinted at in the tenses used. There was this thing called the 'younger dryas' which seems so similar to the 'flood' ... The whole '6 days' creation thing is very interesting as well as what exactly is a day in prehistory? Before people understand the planets... ?
@@georgeyreynolds A day, a Biblical day, is evening to evening or morning to morning. The 24 hour day did not come in until much later. Six is a perfect number (the first perfect number) and seven means completeness. I am not sure whether Genesis is also about creating in concept, but something I have wondered.
I've voiced my own opinions on the practical feasibility of Noah's ark before, but your evisceration of the numbers required was *chef's kiss*. I doff my cap
One thing I'm wondering about: God had given Noah a very strict deadline and he barely managed to make it before the rain started. What would have happened if there had been any delays because of, I don't know, the sawmill workers going on strike? Would God just have let _everything_ drown? Would he have called it off?
It's great that they cling onto Noah and the Ark, a fable that has very strong themes in regards to the consequences of ignoring a looming climate catastrophe, while also being adamant climate change deniers.
With all due respect, no one is a climate change denier. The question is whether mankind is the principal driver of the change. Even scientists who authored the UN documents on climate change are not in agreement on the extent to which humans are responsible for whatever change we are experiencing.
@demarsouthard3620 With all due respect, that is not a question that the overwhelming majority of climate scientists are grappling with. The evidence that climate change is a result of human industrialization is overwhelming. We've never seen such a drastic change in climate over such a short period of time, and we can easily correlate the start of the change with increase in CO2. The scientists that you're referencing have had their credentials in question due to funding from oil lobbyists.

I love how the film just totally ignores all the cultures that existed before, during, and after the supposed global flood and never noticed. Also, two words: heat problem
Fundies hate real history because it contradicts and debunks all of their beliefs. For example, the God of Abraham is just a syncretization of two Bronze Age Canaanite deities, El and Yahweh. El is the root of the name Israel, and archaeological evidence indicates that the Hebrews were Canaanites themselves.

I'm old and it was many years ago I looked into this, but if my memory serves me right, (yeah like that happens!) the earth is approx' 4.5 billion years old and life first appeared about 1 billion years later. However I seem to remember that the date for life was revised as evidence has shown it happened a bit earlier than originally thought. Oh and the last time I looked the universe was 13 billion years old, but that may well be revised as more information comes to light... or dark.

Have you seen Paulogia's series "Ham and AIG" News? (AIG is pronounced "egg".) He good humorously critiques Ham covering the latest YEC news. It's worth it to me just for the clever series title. [AIG = Answers in Genesis, Ken Ham's organization that promotes strict adherence to *_Ham's_* version of Genesis.] [YEC = Young Earth creationists, the "God did it all" folks who insist that the Earth is no more than about 6,000 years old because of somebody's bad _Bible_ math.]
I want someone to CGI the flood as actually described by the catastrophic plate tectonics 'model'. Quadrillion-tonne chunks of basalt being flung about at dozens of m/s, then vaporizing, then ionizing, then the resulting plasma glowing far brighter than the surface of the sun, as nuclear decay accelerates. And then we see a wooden boat merrily sailing through the maelstrom, the lowing of cattle issuing through its portholes.
I was a child homeschooled in a Christian fundamentalist cult, and taught this YEC nonsense as truth. You, Gutsick Gibbon and Forrest Valkai are very...calming and soothing to listen to. I appreciate you and your work very much.
Noah built a shrink-ray machine, and made all the animals dinky. Then he made an un-shrink machine to re chonk-a-size them wence the rain hadth stopped.

The problem with saying the animals that lived under water didn't need to be on the ark is extremely flawed. If the waters rose and joined each other. How did the fresh water fish survive as there would be to much salt for them? Also due to the rain the salt water would also be diluted. So even the salt water fish wouldn't have enough salt. The salinity of the water would be changed so much that either group wouldn't be able to survive.

Most people when trashing the flood story focus on the impossibility of the boat being built and filled with animals- and yes, coming from a navy family and having studied marine architecture it’s ludicrous. But there’s a much simpler question I ask believers -“so in the entire world there were no other people who knew how to build boats and fish ?”
Well you see, the 6 inches of rain per minute would have swamped any boat that was not specifically designed to have 6 inches of rain per minute. That’s why Noah put massive down pointed propellers just to keep itself from being pushed under from the sheer weight of the rain.

As someone who has worked in animal care before: it would take an ungodly amount of people to take care of all the animals supposed to be on the arc. I don't remember how many animals we had, but not far above 100. Four people spent their entire 40 hour work week taking care of these animals and only with four people we had time to do other work on the side. As soon as one was missing, the other three had to focus entirely on animal care or some animals would not have gotten fed that day or sick from a lack of hygiene. Now imagine only double the people taking care of several thousand animals. No phd or anything neccessary to declare the flood story a myth, just a couple months of unskilled labour. Also whilst it is technically "unskilled labour", it takes months of routine/habit building/experience to get to a point, where a person is fast enough to take care of even 5-10 animals that live very close to each other an require the exact same things. And that is whilst being instructed by people who already have the experience. I don't want to imagine the time it would take to learn how to take care of these animals from nothing and to then build the routine to be able to do so quickly enough for the other animals to also get fed that day.

I remember having a book as a kid that I got really hyped for because it explained Dinosaurs and the Bible. It was called “Dinosaurs of Eden” and was by Ken Ham. One part of the book it argued that T. rex having sharp teeth wasn’t proof that it ate meat because Panda’s have sharp teeth too. I remember as a kid I thought that was kind of ignorant since we have found actual fossilized T. rex poop and healed bite wounds on other dinosaurs that could have only been made by a T. rex, showing it was indeed a Carnivore.
Ken also ignores the fact that Pandas are Omnivores who are just really addicted to bamboo- they can and will kill and eat other animals on occasion. It’s basically that they just eat Bamboo because Bamboo doesn’t run away from them and it’s everywhere. It’s somewhat like they’re vegetarians out of laziness.

Creationists ignore one of the first rules of interpreting a historical document. That rule is that it must be understood from the perspective of those who it was written to. The people who would have been the recipients of the story of Noah's Ark would have imagined an ark that could only contain the animals they were familiar with. That means that they would not have imagined reindeer, pandas, penguins, polar bears, new world monkeys, etc. being on the ark. They probably didn't understand that fresh water aquatic life could not survive in a saltwater environment.

The “tree of knowledge” thing at 14:00 always read as less a sin and more a coming of age story. Like before Adam and Eve went out and ate from the tree, they were children but after they were adults with responsibilities. This, to me, makes a hell of a lot more sense and also explains the “he is one of us” line God speaks when giving Adam clothes.
@@GameHammerCG The lesson was the need for a totally blind acceptance of their theology. Which is why questioning their theology is seen as such a threat.
To disobey God is to be sinful. The point is that Adam and Eve did not wait to be given, that people will have to sacrifice and new creation will be revealed through pain.
"Evolution is complete bogus, but there also were only 1400 'kinds' of animals on the Ark that over time turned into the millions of species we have today." Uh-huh, and how did _that_ work?
Well there’s only about 65,000 vertebrates. You would only need about 500 Arks to house them all. Don’t worry about the food needed to feed them though.
All you’d need is hyper-speciation to the tune of a dozen new species every single day since they allegedly got off the ark. Basically, every single generation would have to be a new species. Actually - worse than that. Single litters would have to encompass multiple new species somehow.
Right? It'll never stop fascinating me how people like this think evolution is false, but then the only way they can justify some of their other claims is by using evolution as an explanation, all while seemingly oblivious to the fact that their explanation is just evolution with less scientific terminology. It just reaffirms that they either don't actually understand what evolution is or how it works (in which case they typically seem to think it operates on Pokemon rules - animal A just straight up turns into animal B overnight) or they're grifters who know damn well that the people they're taking advantage of are part of the former group.
I think it's something to the tune of 4 or 5 new species would have to evolve every day since the flood til NOW to see the number of species alive today and in the fossil record.

Nobody found any evidence of elevated decay rates, especially because we use the decay rates to calculate the ages of shit!
The Tower of Babel story was 100 years after the flood. There could not be enough people to do this! 8 people could not populate fast enough! And most of them were babies!

This reminded me of why i started questioning religion. As an like an 8 or 10 yr old i had a hyperfixation with dinos and so id always ask about why kill them off and the answer id get is for fossil fuels and id ask aren't those bad. I even asked pastors of the different denominations we went to and missionaries and i was never really happy with their answers and only gave me more questions

@@simond.455 I thought they believed all the cooling magma raised the ocean floor SIGNIFICANTLY so that the water level rose, and then more plate movements got rid of all the evidence and lowered the ocean floor again. But, I spent at LEAST 10 seconds thinking of that, so who knows what they believe without ever actually thinking about it.
On the scatological subject of waste product on the ark around 27:00, keeping conservation of mass in mind, the weight will not be any more than the weight of the food consumed to produce it, so the ark wouldn't be weighed down (actually it would get a bit lighter). Instead, it would already be weighed down by that food from the start, as you astutely observed.
We are also converting oxygen into water and carbon dioxide. I think the total mass of CO2 and water vapor that we are breathing out is higher than the amount of oxygen that we are breathing in, so there should be a slight (maybe on the order of a couple 100g or so, but I didn't try to do any calculations) net loss in mass. It would have been of no importance to the ark, but it must be a major design criterion for life support systems on space missions.
Very true, though the total mass on the spacecraft does not change, as that matter does not go out but stays onboard in the air, and then gets collected by the filters. However the astronaut's mass does change by the process, as carbon from blood sugar and fat reserves is burnt - but that weight is replenished by food. Basically carbon gets passed around from food to astronaut, to air, to filter. That should reduce the mass for any ship sailing in the open sea however (but not a submarine?). I do wonder what the quantities are, you've gotten me curious.
@@JourneysWithHomer That depends on whether we are venting the spacecraft or not. CO2 scrubbers are a simple solution for short term flight. The ISS has several systems that went CO2 and Methane into space, it seems. For long term flight and multiyear surface missions it might be actually better to completely recycle the air. The CO2 can be used to make new food. On Mars that is pointless, of course, since it has a CO2 atmosphere, so we are never running out of that stuff there. It's a different problem on the Moon altogether. A human needs approx. 200kg of oxygen a year and probably a similar amount of food dry mass. I don't know if it's cheaper to fly all of that in or if a lunar base would be easier to operate with a recycling system.
Looks like you're right, I remember they were venting in the past (before installing the Sabatier system in 2010 apparently), but they are indeed still venting methane. I'll be reading more on that, maybe I'll make a video on it some day. For the Moon and Mars, the scientist in me says that investing in recycling will pay off sooner than later even if it's more expensive today. The engineer in me however says that 400kg per person per year is not unreasonable. But at least there is long-standing research on growing crops in space, so I expect much of the food will indeed be grown locally.
@@JourneysWithHomer That's my feeling as well. It is probably still easier and cheaper to transport the oxygen and food than to carry a recycling system up there.
emma i expect will not see this but just in case: if you're ever interested in speaking to someone who is both christian and also fundamentally believes in evolution, i think you might be able to have a pretty sick collab with clints reptiles, clint has degrees in zoology and biology and regularly teaches about evolution but he is also christian and has made a couple of videos reacting to creationists.
None of these creationists have ever mucked out a stable, that's clear. Also, none of them who have the slightest understanding of engineering would put a prow like that on a vessel that lacks sails, oars or any other means of propelling itself through the water. The claim that the story must be true because a toy model is somewhat stable in a pool is just silly. But I was taught the story of Noah's Ark from childhood, so some little part of me still believes. I give that part a cookie and lovingly tell it to hush.
Good job, Emma. Love the Spiders Georg and other four challenges to the lifespans. And just brilliant work on the ark. It was nice to see you have so much fun with this. Stay well! 😊
Aren't those biblical life spans actually a mistranslation? 900 *moons* kind of works out for a human life. Also is the ark based on a story about a guy that got caught in a really large flood, like not the world but *his* world and saved his family by using a really big house boat, more of a barn boat? So he saved not humanity but his blood line, which would have been a really big deal back then. An then the story got embellished, like Beowulf being able to swim underwater for hours.
Emma calling to report that "the dog dies" in the first few minutes of the film.... Emma hasn't seen Old Yeller, has she. (Maybe Emma is a little more of a Phoebe Buffay than we realized.)

@EmmaThorneVideos God confusing language does make sense in the narrative if you realize the reason the Bible says he was angry. It is a misconception that God was angered because they were "building a tower to reach the heavens". In actuality he was upset because they were working together on something and he feared they could accomplish anything if they worked together. So he then destroyed what they were working on and confused their language to make it harder for them to cooperate with each other. I'm an atheist, so this to me explains one more example of him being an a*hole.

It's fascinating how many creationists will inadvertently claim that before the fall, all animals were herbivores and that was a good thing. But you will be hardpressed to find creationists who are vegan activists.
Right?! The world was perfect and in heaven the lion will lay with the lamb. That's the ideal. But God forbid you want this *now*, nooo. Because God gave us animals to eat. Like what?
What a pitiful designer to have put all those BIG sharp biting, holding, ripping teeth into those poor vegan raptors. One would think the Creator would have given them molars.
On rare occasions you can find them at least being strict vegetarians, and a few major players in this claim do say we should be vegan because that is the diet we’re meant to follow.
@@darkstarr984 veganism is a social justice movement, not a diet
Yup, if you shift the conversation to veganism, suddenly it's "god gave us all the animals to eat and use."

I love how these creationist depictions of dinosaurs always match Hollywood movies made a generation or so prior, rather than current scientific advancements. The "Creationist Museums" were still displaying paintings of dinosaurs as lumbering, tail-dragging overgrown lizards in the "Hot-Blooded Dinosaur Renaissance" Era (1980's and 90's), and now they're showing raptors as naked and scaly as they are in the Jurassic Park films, even though it's widely accept now that they had feathers.
Ah, but feathered dinosaurs might suggest that birds COULD & DID evolve from them, so don't hold your breath....
It's actually highly dependent on the family and species. A lot of the theropods like trex had feathers but large sections of dinosauria did not. Examples include ceratopsia, allosauridae, and sauropoda were all scaled.
I have a Master's Degree in structural engineering. If that "engineer" is going to make _public_ claims about the structural viability of the Ark he needs to publish _publicly_ his model and analysis, so that other engineers can check his work and the validity of the public statements he makes as an engineer. For all we know he could be a "sanitation engineer" at the local Walmart.
Maybe he put his hollowed-out empty piece of wood in a baby pool and it didn't sink.

I met Noah in a dream and pointed out something to him: You know how God created all the animals in just one day? Well, he could have saved you a lot of hassle by just killing them all off in the flood and then create them all anew, afterwards, in just one day...." Noah started sobbing.
Well that's an interesting point as if you read the original Hebrew you'll get the idea there is at least 2 floods. You also get the idea that the whole creation thing happened 'before". This isn't in the Bible perse but it's hinted at in the tenses used.
There was this thing called the 'younger dryas' which seems so similar to the 'flood' ...
The whole '6 days' creation thing is very interesting as well as what exactly is a day in prehistory? Before people understand the planets... ?

With all due respect, no one is a climate change denier. The question is whether mankind is the principal driver of the change. Even scientists who authored the UN documents on climate change are not in agreement on the extent to which humans are responsible for whatever change we are experiencing.
@demarsouthard3620 With all due respect, that is not a question that the overwhelming majority of climate scientists are grappling with. The evidence that climate change is a result of human industrialization is overwhelming. We've never seen such a drastic change in climate over such a short period of time, and we can easily correlate the start of the change with increase in CO2. The scientists that you're referencing have had their credentials in question due to funding from oil lobbyists.

I'm old and it was many years ago I looked into this, but if my memory serves me right, (yeah like that happens!) the earth is approx' 4.5 billion years old and life first appeared about 1 billion years later. However I seem to remember that the date for life was revised as evidence has shown it happened a bit earlier than originally thought.
Oh and the last time I looked the universe was 13 billion years old, but that may well be revised as more information comes to light... or dark.

[AIG = Answers in Genesis, Ken Ham's organization that promotes strict adherence to *_Ham's_* version of Genesis.]
[YEC = Young Earth creationists, the "God did it all" folks who insist that the Earth is no more than about 6,000 years old because of somebody's bad _Bible_ math.]

Quadrillion-tonne chunks of basalt being flung about at dozens of m/s, then vaporizing, then ionizing, then the resulting plasma glowing far brighter than the surface of the sun, as nuclear decay accelerates. And then we see a wooden boat merrily sailing through the maelstrom, the lowing of cattle issuing through its portholes.

The problem with saying the animals that lived under water didn't need to be on the ark is extremely flawed. If the waters rose and joined each other. How did the fresh water fish survive as there would be to much salt for them? Also due to the rain the salt water would also be diluted. So even the salt water fish wouldn't have enough salt. The salinity of the water would be changed so much that either group wouldn't be able to survive.

So guyver is our creation orgin since the escape from Mt.Mimicomi covers the origin of the guyver and humans.
humans out competing multiple types of dinosaurs is interesting
You know creationists. They believe all literature to be literal.
Any relatively science literate person knows the dinosaurs were wiped out by the effects of a massive asteroid strike off the coast of Yucatan 66 million years ago.

Most people when trashing the flood story focus on the impossibility of the boat being built and filled with animals- and yes, coming from a navy family and having studied marine architecture it’s ludicrous. But there’s a much simpler question I ask believers -“so in the entire world there were no other people who knew how to build boats and fish ?”
Well you see, the 6 inches of rain per minute would have swamped any boat that was not specifically designed to have 6 inches of rain per minute. That’s why Noah put massive down pointed propellers just to keep itself from being pushed under from the sheer weight of the rain.

As someone who has worked in animal care before: it would take an ungodly amount of people to take care of all the animals supposed to be on the arc. I don't remember how many animals we had, but not far above 100. Four people spent their entire 40 hour work week taking care of these animals and only with four people we had time to do other work on the side. As soon as one was missing, the other three had to focus entirely on animal care or some animals would not have gotten fed that day or sick from a lack of hygiene. Now imagine only double the people taking care of several thousand animals. No phd or anything neccessary to declare the flood story a myth, just a couple months of unskilled labour.
Also whilst it is technically "unskilled labour", it takes months of routine/habit building/experience to get to a point, where a person is fast enough to take care of even 5-10 animals that live very close to each other an require the exact same things. And that is whilst being instructed by people who already have the experience. I don't want to imagine the time it would take to learn how to take care of these animals from nothing and to then build the routine to be able to do so quickly enough for the other animals to also get fed that day.

Emma Thorne x Gutsick Gibbon?? This is a crossover I would love to see!!
I remember having a book as a kid that I got really hyped for because it explained Dinosaurs and the Bible. It was called “Dinosaurs of Eden” and was by Ken Ham.
One part of the book it argued that T. rex having sharp teeth wasn’t proof that it ate meat because Panda’s have sharp teeth too. I remember as a kid I thought that was kind of ignorant since we have found actual fossilized T. rex poop and healed bite wounds on other dinosaurs that could have only been made by a T. rex, showing it was indeed a Carnivore.
Ken also ignores the fact that Pandas are Omnivores who are just really addicted to bamboo- they can and will kill and eat other animals on occasion. It’s basically that they just eat Bamboo because Bamboo doesn’t run away from them and it’s everywhere. It’s somewhat like they’re vegetarians out of laziness.
Really? Maybe the bite wounds on the dinosaurs were made by a giant panda! 😨
By Unc gave me a Kent Hovind doc that I literally called "Dinosaur's and The Bible" never watched it but I found it again recently and want a good reason to watch it for fun.
@@feistygheisty "Dr. Dino" Hovind used to have a web site in which he stated that HIS OWN INABILITY to "imagine 6 billion years" somehow called the geologic time scale into question, though numerically that's not even a large fraction of the national debt. There were other towering stupidities as well, but the site was revised over time & the current "answers in Genesis" site depends more heavily on small disagreements among scientists...none of which rise anywhere near discrediting science as a whole. The page I just dropped in on showcases a disagreement between a 12.6-billion-year-old universe & a 13.8-b-y-o universe, as if that somehow puts 7,000 years in the ballpark.

Emma this is the algo speaking, you're bout to blow up.
Creationists ignore one of the first rules of interpreting a historical document. That rule is that it must be understood from the perspective of those who it was written to. The people who would have been the recipients of the story of Noah's Ark would have imagined an ark that could only contain the animals they were familiar with. That means that they would not have imagined reindeer, pandas, penguins, polar bears, new world monkeys, etc. being on the ark. They probably didn't understand that fresh water aquatic life could not survive in a saltwater environment.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

This is my favorite ark joke.
There are about 50 thousand species of spider in the world. So at some point 100 thousand spiders marched 2x2 into the ark. To me then the real miracle is somehow Noah still got his wife onboard.
ALSO... I wonder what 100 thousand spiders sounds like marching all in step. I dont think I would be eager to get on that boat.
Not to mention malarial mosquitoes (and thousands of other species of insect), viruses and bacteria, lice (I guess god needed to save them to plague the Egyptians three millennia later!).
But I am sure these bozos will come up with an answer; that makes no more sense than all their other ideas.

Emma - You are fantastic! I love the way you demolish these mindless creationist hallucinators' theories by presenting ideas that WERE simple enough for a seven-year-old to grasp, IF they had been paying attention at school. (OH! Unless some of them learned this creationist malarkey AT "school").
I've heard all these arguments about how the flood could be true, but no one has ever answered the question of how the water covered the entire world, leaving no land, but not why that water wouldn't, y'know, freeze when it tried to cover the tallest mountains? Mt. Everest seems like it wouldn't like liquid water...
Silly me, the heat generated by catastrophic plate tectonics would keep the water from freezing. I should've just watched more of the video!
The “tree of knowledge” thing at 14:00 always read as less a sin and more a coming of age story. Like before Adam and Eve went out and ate from the tree, they were children but after they were adults with responsibilities. This, to me, makes a hell of a lot more sense and also explains the “he is one of us” line God speaks when giving Adam clothes.
The word "sin" does not appear in the story. Also no "apple" (it's "fruit") or "Satan."
I always thought it was a test and we could have had a Bible about horse instead. Also, God told Adam about the tree, Eve wasn't informed.
@@GameHammerCG
The lesson was the need for a totally blind acceptance of their theology. Which is why questioning their theology is seen as such a threat.
I know a Christian biker who think's the tree of knowledge is weed and we were meant to gain sin (he is basically a Christian version of The Dude)
To disobey God is to be sinful. The point is that Adam and Eve did not wait to be given, that people will have to sacrifice and new creation will be revealed through pain.
"Evolution is complete bogus, but there also were only 1400 'kinds' of animals on the Ark that over time turned into the millions of species we have today." Uh-huh, and how did _that_ work?
Well there’s only about 65,000 vertebrates. You would only need about 500 Arks to house them all. Don’t worry about the food needed to feed them though.
All you’d need is hyper-speciation to the tune of a dozen new species every single day since they allegedly got off the ark. Basically, every single generation would have to be a new species.
Actually - worse than that. Single litters would have to encompass multiple new species somehow.
Right? It'll never stop fascinating me how people like this think evolution is false, but then the only way they can justify some of their other claims is by using evolution as an explanation, all while seemingly oblivious to the fact that their explanation is just evolution with less scientific terminology. It just reaffirms that they either don't actually understand what evolution is or how it works (in which case they typically seem to think it operates on Pokemon rules - animal A just straight up turns into animal B overnight) or they're grifters who know damn well that the people they're taking advantage of are part of the former group.
I think it's something to the tune of 4 or 5 new species would have to evolve every day since the flood til NOW to see the number of species alive today and in the fossil record.

These people that have earned PhDs in science to "prove" their preconceived ideas are an embarrassment to themselves. They have clearly not learned the basic philosophical underpinnings of Science as a process.
Which leads one to question the accreditation of the schools at which they claim to have matriculated. Perhaps Liberty University?
These creation "scientists" got PhDs in science to give themselves phony credentials as scientists but never really do any scientific work.
@@dewardroy6531 No, some of them literally went to accredited universities and kept a mental asterisk the entire time, in spite of the evidence in front of their eyes. That level of cognitive dissonance would break most people, but not them. They go on to think that makes them extremely superior.
So, if you want to chat about their little tectonics narative, hit me up, I literally wrote the book on flood basalts (i.e. the most massive volcanic eruptions) and what they cause. I could talk for DAYS on the stupidity of their little story.

A really great episode! You make debunking highly entertaining! And, your wardrobe is always spot-on!
On the scatological subject of waste product on the ark around 27:00, keeping conservation of mass in mind, the weight will not be any more than the weight of the food consumed to produce it, so the ark wouldn't be weighed down (actually it would get a bit lighter). Instead, it would already be weighed down by that food from the start, as you astutely observed.
We are also converting oxygen into water and carbon dioxide. I think the total mass of CO2 and water vapor that we are breathing out is higher than the amount of oxygen that we are breathing in, so there should be a slight (maybe on the order of a couple 100g or so, but I didn't try to do any calculations) net loss in mass. It would have been of no importance to the ark, but it must be a major design criterion for life support systems on space missions.
Very true, though the total mass on the spacecraft does not change, as that matter does not go out but stays onboard in the air, and then gets collected by the filters. However the astronaut's mass does change by the process, as carbon from blood sugar and fat reserves is burnt - but that weight is replenished by food. Basically carbon gets passed around from food to astronaut, to air, to filter. That should reduce the mass for any ship sailing in the open sea however (but not a submarine?). I do wonder what the quantities are, you've gotten me curious.
@@JourneysWithHomer That depends on whether we are venting the spacecraft or not. CO2 scrubbers are a simple solution for short term flight. The ISS has several systems that went CO2 and Methane into space, it seems. For long term flight and multiyear surface missions it might be actually better to completely recycle the air. The CO2 can be used to make new food. On Mars that is pointless, of course, since it has a CO2 atmosphere, so we are never running out of that stuff there. It's a different problem on the Moon altogether. A human needs approx. 200kg of oxygen a year and probably a similar amount of food dry mass. I don't know if it's cheaper to fly all of that in or if a lunar base would be easier to operate with a recycling system.
Looks like you're right, I remember they were venting in the past (before installing the Sabatier system in 2010 apparently), but they are indeed still venting methane. I'll be reading more on that, maybe I'll make a video on it some day.
For the Moon and Mars, the scientist in me says that investing in recycling will pay off sooner than later even if it's more expensive today. The engineer in me however says that 400kg per person per year is not unreasonable. But at least there is long-standing research on growing crops in space, so I expect much of the food will indeed be grown locally.
@@JourneysWithHomer That's my feeling as well. It is probably still easier and cheaper to transport the oxygen and food than to carry a recycling system up there.

None of these creationists have ever mucked out a stable, that's clear.
Also, none of them who have the slightest understanding of engineering would put a prow like that on a vessel that lacks sails, oars or any other means of propelling itself through the water.
The claim that the story must be true because a toy model is somewhat stable in a pool is just silly.
But I was taught the story of Noah's Ark from childhood, so some little part of me still believes. I give that part a cookie and lovingly tell it to hush.

Aren't those biblical life spans actually a mistranslation? 900 *moons* kind of works out for a human life.
Also is the ark based on a story about a guy that got caught in a really large flood, like not the world but *his* world and saved his family by using a really big house boat, more of a barn boat? So he saved not humanity but his blood line, which would have been a really big deal back then. An then the story got embellished, like Beowulf being able to swim underwater for hours.
