I'm almost afraid to ask a question because I'm sure people will assume I'm trying to start a debate, or agree with Kent Hovind. Please, everyone, I'm just asking a question. 12:15
Can you talk about Radiometric Dating? Kent Hovind was saying here that it's determined by the ratio of Carbon 14 and Carbon 12. That scientists look at the ratio that exists today and assume that it's the same ratio that existed when the thing died. Your response seems to confirm this (though it was a very short response, so I may have misunderstood). His argument in this video is how do we know this ratio is the same? Is this how radiometric dating works? If so, how do we know the ratio is the same?
You ok, Dan? You look pretty tired in the video.
He was just using you to sell his garbage merchandise.🙄
@@MehwhatevrBriefly, Cosmic Rays change Carbon 12 to Carbon 14 in the upper atmosphere. Carbon 14 is then absorbed by living things. When something dies, it stops absorbing C14. Measuring the ratio then tells you how long ago it died. This only works for formerly living material less than 60,000 years old.
For it to be debunked, there would need to be changes in physics over time in the way radioactive elements decay. If this were true nuclear reactors, medical radiation therapy, and anything else dependant upon radioactive decay wouldn't work.
Comparing C14 dating to other dating methods proves it's accuracy. So Kent is just blowing smoke out of his mallet.
Dan, Kent is a delusion religious cultist and con artist. Non of these people are worth our time, but it is necessary to debunk liars and charlatans. Keep up the good work!
Kent Hovind asked Kent Hovind if Kent Hovind's theories were right and Kent Hovind confirmed they were.
But only after Kent Hovind sold Kent Hovind a whole load of DVDs to "prove" his arguments. Which is all he is about.

.... Hiding in your "billions" of years.
On the other hand, HE can hide HIS religion in only a few thousands of years. Clear difference.
Its like theyre too dumb to realise the hypocrisy
I believe that there is a God or some sort of creator, but I am not sure about the details. A God certainly could have created the big bang billions of years ago. I can't prove it, but you can't prove it wrong either. We most likely won't ever know for sure while we are alive, and possibly we won't even know after we are dead.
@@Well_I_am_just_saying again, what a scientist is trying to do is gathering clues to understand how universe works.
if you can't prove something is true or can't prove it it's wrong, then science doesn't care about it. you are thus free to believe anything that suits you, but as you said, you then must accept you will never know.
when there is no solution, there is no problem. we can do without god.
that being said... everything depends on what you want.
When I was a Freshman and Sophmore my mom put me in a Creationist School. We went to Kens museum/exhibit thing. They had a piranha in a tank and claimed it was only a year old but larger than and piranha in the wild because the raised in a red light. Similar to how the Earth was once encapsulated in a water membrane and the light coming through would have been red...thats why the bible had giants and people living for hundreds of years...I told my mom I had to get out of that cult school she obliged and ultimately I had to get my GED because obviously the school was not accredited in TX. Now I have a B.S. in Manufacturing Engineering and Mechanical Systems. I'm doing just fine without God and those tounge speaking lunatics.

Kent Hovind's "whacking" is in rather poor taste considering his domestic assault conviction.
It is just blatantly begging for a return act.. someone make a display with little Kent heads popping out which can be "wacked"... 😮😂😂😂
Just for fun…he had decided to have a “Whack-a-Theist” day.
oh my. time to go digging on the internet for this one.
LOL, why does it seem all these people have some sort of past of domestic violence or SA?
Or considering what has been done to atheists by theists for the majority of history.
I was raised Christian, my mom used to take me to see people like Kent, and I used to believe all that nonsense until I was about 18. Now, when I look at these guys, they all seem like the epitome of pure evil to me. I'm so glad I broke out of that cult.
Took me until I was 35 to come to terms with the idea that religion (i.e. belief in a god of some sort) was most likely simply the result of early man's desire to explain the things they couldn't yet explain. It was one of the most profound epiphanies I've had in my life. I was amazed at myself for not realizing it so much earlier in life. Just goes to show how large the blinders are that religion relies on in order to exist.
@@wallyman292 Yeah, my mom was brainwashing me with that trash for a long time from before I could speak, everyone I knew and everyone I was friends with were Christians. Deciding it was trash wasn't a quick process, it took about 5 years from my initial seeds of doubt to grow into a full deconversion. Definitely worth it now, because I no longer worry about me or people I love going to hell when trying to fall asleep at night.
@@wallyman292religion is also used to also control the masses. Those susceptible to these stories are the ones that carry on the torch and pass it on to vulnerable and weak.
Cute pfp :D And jeez- I am sorry you went through that when you were young. Im glad you came out of that and I hope you stay strong! ^~^
I do not believe in organized religion. Given that there are over 4000 recognized religions in the world, it always seemed rather confusing that they ALL claimed to be the one, the true. I learned early that most operate as business and in studying history, confirmed that. Given this, I will say that I cannot discount the idea of a creator. Who says they could not have created the Big Bang? That said, I am a devotee of the scientific method. It is mans method for theorizing about the space around him, testing and refining his theories. Man has a brain - it must be there for a reason. Refusing to apply it seems wrong to me. I do not subscribe to the theory that any creator would endeavor to create beings with such brains and discourage their use.
He called you Spongebob? I mean that's far from an insult lol. He lives his best life every day and is loved by millions. Something that guy will never understand
Love is the thing Hovid will never understand.
@@SekhubaraI mean yeah, wasn't he even arrested for domestic abuse or something?
Not only did Kent not make any good points, he didn't make any new ones.
Exactly. He's been told multiple times how evolution and the big bang accounts for the questions that he's asking. He refuses to listen to the answers because that would endanger his income.
Creationists never do. They just recycle the same, long-debunked talking points over, and over, and over again.
@@NoXion100 Yeah, prominent creationists like ol' Kent aren't ever going to show any sort of intellectual humility and lose their gravy train in the process.

I may be foggy on my history but I believe Copernicus was "owned" by someone in the Catholic church at the time by them telling him to watch their video #7.
However, the Catholic Church (unlike many American protestant churches) has moved on and, 400 years later, they side with Dan and not with Hovind in both the Big Bang and Evolution.
All those video references show Kent's desperation to sell his ancient crap to cover his legal expenses.
@@ChrisBreederveld Legal expenses? What legal expenses?

“… Science is constantly proved all the time. You see, if we take something like any fiction, any holy book… and destroyed it, in a thousand years’ time, that wouldn’t come back just as it was. Whereas if we took every science book, and every fact, and destroyed them all, in a thousand years they’d all be back, because all the same tests would [produce] the same result.”

Not the biggest Gervais fan, but blimey... that's ruddy brilliant!! 😂
We only need watch at the number of different Religions which have developed over the millennia... Just because Kent & other's claim THEIR's is the "correct one" and all other's are "fake" doesn't make it so.

I don’t believe science is real, so therefore the universe itself swirls in flux until it resolves itself into my beliefs, you must be a figment of my imagination.
Not the best quote. Science doesn’t prove anything. Additionally, while the test results may be the same, that does not preclude more evidence is found that changes the understanding of what those test results are showing.
@@Chomper750 "Science doesn’t prove anything."
Wrong stance on what "Science" does.
Scientific experiments are done to demonstrate that a given hypothesis holds true under a given set of circumstances.
Based on each other the next set of experiments can be done to show demonstrate & explain other things in the observable environment. That's about it.
Creationists/Theist "observe" something, can't explain it with their narrow mind and "explain what they see" with: "God(s) did it!"
They are unable to move beyond their "Holy Book(s)".
The thing about debating Kent is, no matter what you ask him, he won't be prepared for that.

"You're wrong" for Kent is loaded like a Tyson left hook.
@@CapnMoarGain Kent uses "You're wrong" more like a range-finding jab but your point is fair.
I’m a person of faith. Believing the earth is 6,000 years old is not a requirement of Christianity.
Keep shutting these weirdos down
1 Corinthians defines what the Gospel is, that Christ was crucified, died, then resurrected. That is the extent and only requirement of Christianity.
Any "christian" who pushes for flat Earth, young Earth, non-evolution creation is in fact literally adding to the Gospel, and we all know what the Gospel calls adding to the Gospel.
@@Sekhubara I honestly think that leaning into evolution and the big bang would make Christians a stronger case. As in, look at the vast chaotic and random nature of the universe, but trillions upon trillions of countless variables brought us to where we are today. As an atheist I just chalk this up to confirmation bias as in of course we as a species who benefit from the nature of our environment would think it to be perfect in many ways, but it would be a lot less alienating to most and speak to the grandeur of god if Christians embraced science as a whole.
If a creationist is unhappy with you, you're doing something correct.
I wonder what Kent does when people bring up court cases involving tax evasion, assault charges, domestic violence, and other things...

Faith in a story vs. trust in scientific evidence.
Faith requires zero evidence but apparently also requires continual embellishment.
This man's GRIFT runs deep and his profits rely on belittling and word-smithing and you'd be best not to bother confronting him.
But it is very easy to conflate scientific theory with scientific fact.
Evolution is a theory, despite it being taught in school as fact. SciManDan stopped the video at that, because it is a very messy debate indeed, and any biologist ends up having to admit that evolution is just the best "non-god" theory for the evidence, but there are lots of holes in it.
It's much like looking at a piece of cotton clothing and saying it's completely solid... you can't pass a ball through it. But the closer you get, the more you start to discover that while it is indeed held together, there are lots of little holes. Not a perfect analogy, but I hope good enough to get the gist.
“Watch my video” is his euphemism for “Give me money.”

@SciManDan
Man I'm going off on a tangent but watching people like Kent reminds me so much of this incident that happened in my childhood.
We started going to this new church and I remember my mom pretty much forcing me to go up and let the "speaking in tongues" lady put her hand on my head while she prophesied.
I was 10 and I couldn't contain my laughter. Picture this lady with her hand on my head going "shamana halala ratata" and me trying desperately not to burst out laughing. I felt horrible about it because the entire congregation looked like they were disappointed with me, and my mom looked embarrassed. I wouldn't say that's exactly when I stopped believing that kind of nonsense, but it definitely planted the seed.
I was slowly but happily beginning to forget this man existed.

I like how Kent disproved the age of the earth just by thinking about it for a minute. And the age of the sun just by thinking about it for a minute. And radiocarbon dating: debunked by thinking about it for a minute. And he corrected the idea of plate tectonics by thinking about it for a minute.
Sure does save a lot of time on reading primary literature!
Yep but he’s read the bible “cover to cover hundreds of times”. Not the greatest use of his time but I suppose if it only takes 6 minutes to debunk all of science then it leaves him with time to waste.

@@TheRokkis tbh he could've read all of it and nothing would change. The bible is just an amalgamation of fairytales.
Usually whenever they try to debunk radiometric dating, it's done by 'Christian Scientist' that don't understand what their doing. And to boot, none of their attempts to debunk it are peer reviewed because they'd literally be laughed at by actual scientist. The things these people do to pretend their fables are literal history.
Funny, a creationist 'debunking' science when his only evidence for a God being taken from a book written thousands of years ago.
A series of books that have been revised and censored and the first bible has almost nothing in common with the new ones...
And failing to realize that even if one accepts the creator idea, it does not mean that creator was his God character. For that, special pleading is needed.
In addition to both the above, there's the obvious of the Bible neglecting the fact Dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals existed entirely, and things like Noah's Ark actually being a retelling of a story from other religions, including the Epic of Gilgamesh

Yeah but on that particular argument, Kent would agree. He does not deny that his faith is unprovable, rather he tries to disparage evolution as being entirely based in fabrications and blind faith, in order to make it appear just as valid as his fairy tales, which of course is utter nonsense, but it obviously appeals to his ignorant audience.
Kent’s young earth claims are entirely imaginary.
He is a bloody useless sky wizard too. And apparently he isn't alone as all religions have a slightly different one who all do something quite different including one that is quite happy to brain wash his disciples into religious war as those other gods are of course false and nothing but the scum of the earth. Not difficult to see why so many stay away from religion is it?

so it's 2500 or 2300 years old
Your sky pixies count is missing a few zeros. JUST Hinduism, taken alone, bring the count to about 6000 000. According to the ancient Egyptians, pretty much everyone can become at least a minor god if they lived a correct life. That pushes the count up by several tens of millions.
So, you need to add at least 4 zeros to that count. 55 000 000+ sky pixies, but most don't even have proper. personal, names.

As with many of the theists, he thinks that "finding a hole" in something is enough to prove his thing is correct. Even without the poor attempts to debunk, it never seems to occur to him that it leaves infinite other explanations. It could be literally anything else that is not what he believes in, since the theist working theory isn't provable, cannot predict, and is pretty hard to replicate results. You can't pray a particular way to get a particular miracle. But others are fools for their short-sidedness to people like Kent.
He projects all of his faults on to you: “it’s imagination”, “it’s all religion”, “you’re lying or you’re stupid”, everything wrong with his arguments he just pretends are your faults.

6:46 "I'm more concerned about your soul than you are"
Oh yeah? Between you and me which one of us is the convicted felon, eh?
Really? What did he do?
Prisoner #06452-017 is not even a good conman. And yet, he actually has a following. Which says a lot about how conservatives and corporate/private for profit school lobbyists have decimated public education
Not remitting collected payroll taxes to the government. He claimed that his employees were religious missionaries, thus tax laws did not apply to them, but he was deducting payroll taxes from them. When the government asked for the tax monies, Hovind claimed that the monies belonged to his god, not the government. He was sentenced & spent some years in prison.
To be fair, I'm not, as a rule, concerned about things that don't exist.
If there really was a god, and he really did judge souls based on how big a prick one was during one’s earthly tenure, I’m pretty sure young Kent would be offered the royal boot, while for Dan it would be, “Maate, come in and have a beer”.
Comedy that his comments end with: "you need to watch my video where I debunk that," that just happen to be available for $10, instead of just explaining his argument. 😂💩🤡
Now, THAT he was prepared for.

I majored in geology and math back in the day. This creationist is fully cracked.
I love how Young Earth Creationists like to say that the "Big Bang" violates the first law of thermodynamics, but a being creating everything doesn't.
I feel like it's always a massive self report with these "god" types. If you need a supernatural "prison guard" to watch you 24\7 to be good then you are the problem.
Same people getting mad about cops hiding behind stuff to catch people speeding, same mentality.
If you need to know you're being watched to follow the law, the cop isn't the problem
Right but i will say that for some of us who actually dont believe the load of crap Kent is saying and actually know the truth such as the universe being billions of years old, etc, the big bang and evolution while not proven are the best possible theories we have based on evidence. Some of us who know the scientific truth actually see God as a symbol of hope still. I for one do, I hope and believe he is there and did create the universe(though not as simply as the Bible suggests) so yeh not all of us believe in him just for a supernatural prison guard. Some see him as some hope
If the rapture happens, and im not one of the ones raptured, do i still have to be good?
Not all "god types" are Christians or believe in God as a "supernatural prison guard" Perhaps (my opinion anyway) God is the energy which creates, sustains and destroys.
@@Espartanicacompletely different, police should prioritize stopping crime more than punishing people after the fact. Speeding is illegal because it creates dangerous scenarios and it increases the wear on roadways. If cops cared about why speeding is bad, they would make themselves visible so everyone goes the speed limit, but they know if they are visible, no one will speed, so they hide knowing it will lead a more dangerous scenario so they can pull over one of hundreds of people so they can write a ticket and get paid
I don't think Kent understands the hypocrisy of using science to disprove science.
There are many things that Kent does not, and cannot, understand.
Or the futility of using science he doesn't understand to disprove other science he doesn't understand.
For sure. LHC and JWST both prove the Earth is six thousand years old and at the center of the universe.
The issue with creationists is their immense discomfort with unanswered questions. "Where did time start?" - "Where did matter come from?". I always fail to see how these questions are an argument for god. Jordan Peterson, a so-called intellectual, follows this same logic by saying the universe isn't "deterministic" at the quantum level - therefore god. The leaps are ridiculous. I'm an astronomer and astrophysicist and I have to say, if I didn't have questions to answer I'd be incredibly depressed. Yet these people are so intent on replacing every single answer with "god did it" to kill any dregs of curiosity leftover from their childhoods. Often, they simply don't understand the science so they utterly reject it.

The Christians who think that being mean to others is the right thing to do, then they need to go re-read what Jesus said about how to treat others.
And also about how to conduct yourself, regarding your belief in God.
Something to do with Hypocrites and Pharisees... 🤔🤭
I have made several comments on Christians how they think about other people and what the Bible says about that behaviour... The reply I got back was; "you took this out of context", where my reply back to that was, "you now who thought me how to take Bible texts out of context? A priest"... 😮😢
Hi Dan great channel mate. I saw a really disturbing video of Kent. It’s the one where he quite gleefully discribes beating his son in his car outside the dentist because his son was scared and moving before a procedure in the dentist chair.
His smirk and proundness as he recalled this incident speaks volumes of the person this nutjob is.
Nobody can talk rubbish as quickly as old Kent.

I'm interested in the debate between you 2 for anthropological reasons. I find his dome earth perception and fear of stars falling from the sky fascinating.
Kent Hovind actually believes that trigonometry can't be used to determine the distance between stars.
The true purpose of his shtick is there for us all to see while he's talking, complete with convenient QR code for quick shopping.
Judaism had prophets:Christians have profits.
he thinks the earth rotational change must be constant, he thinks the rate of the moon moving away must be constant (they arent but even a constant value would disprove him, if he could do the math) yet thinks nuclear decay rates change all the time
Kent is right about all of it!! I used to believe in ‘science’ but my eyes got opened one fateful day and I haven’t looked back!
I still think fondly of that day the horse kicked me in the head.
As good a reason I've heard.
The worst suffering we could ever inflict against Kent would be to ignore him and isolate him from followers.
"You're wrong watch my video" must be the new "You're wrong because my book says you are wrong"
It's the same since the whole video is "You're wrong because my book said so"
Do we need some extra middlemen to ‘interpret’ the content of his videos to bring his word to the masses? I’m looking for a new job. I’m assuming we’d get some funky robes like his wild shirt, but is there some sort of pointy hat?
Fingers crossed that this turns into a recursive debate where every time it becomes more layered and the audio becomes even worse
Insults are not very Christian.

She also believed that a whole lotta people who think they've got it right are gonna be shocked and disbelieving when the gates don't open for them. There are levels on which I'd sorta like to find out that we're all wrong here and that it's so very different than what anyone is expecting 'cause the monotheistic religions seem to have adopted all the worst traits of human rulers in their deities. Me, I like science. I can test stuff and see if it works and if it works repeatedly for more than one person, that pretty much makes it fact rather than belief.

Your opposing arguments gets both sides considering the other because you MUST consider what the other is believing so that you can make your rebuttal. Such a pity the younger generations don't get to enjoy debating like this. Even though the opposing view is, to most,..... fantastical, or in some cases farcical, or facts vs beliefs.... or should that be Theory vs belief? (OK I'm just egging things on at this point😂).

Oh dear, Kent is still at it. Same old nonsense, same godawful shirts.
On wikipedia, they listed him as a "tax protester", that explains a lot. Dan can forgive him, but the IRS can't
Kent's been debunked nine ways from Sunday as some used to say, but he will never admit it unless he finds a better grift.
Regarding the Big Bang, my understanding is:
1. The BBT doesn't explain what happened in the first 10^-40th of a second (something like that).
2. The BBT explains everything _after_ 10^-40 seconds very, very well (modulo the Crisis in Cosmology).
3. The BBT also doesn't try to explain what actually caused the Big Bang. It only explains what happened from shortly afterwards.
4. Cosmologists generally don't agree on what caused the Big Bang. It could be cosmic sheets, it could be quantum fluctuations, it could be the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
5. Best we understand, there was no time or space before the Big Bang. Time doesn't extend infinitely into the past, it only extends 13.7 billion years. There was no before that, something which is really hard to wrap one's head around. It completely doesn't match our everyday intuition.
In regard to science I’ve come to understand that we are still literally newborn infants. There is a long way to go before we grasp certain things. Hell, I’m a middle age high school drop out working in a factory and the math flies over my head, but still - thankfully have some critical thinking skill.

#5 assumes this is the first (and only) iteration of the universe. Mainly because there is no evidence to suggest it isn't, and we're only starting to see any evidence of a possibility that the universe may collapse back down into itself... many, many trillions of eons into the future. But after that happens (supposing it does), what then? If there's a critical point of mass where two supermassive black holes carrying all the matter of the universe collide with each other, would that have potential to start the cycle again? Enough concentrated matter that a "Big Bang" event is inevitable. Well, I'm certainly not smart enough to figure that out, and I doubt anyone on this planet, with the science we know today, would be able to either. Hell, our species and probably our entire galaxy, will very likely long be dust before an answer to "what happens next" could ever be fathomed. Is this universe truly a one-off event? Or is it maybe cyclical?
@@rcslyman8929 "we're only starting to see any evidence of a possibility that the universe may collapse back down into itself"
That's news to me. As far as I know, every piece of evidence we have says that the expansion will apparently go on forever and will even get ever faster.
@@rcslyman8929 That's the thing. The BBT doesn't make a prediction whether there was a previous Big Crunch or not. There are other theories about that and they're not part of the BBT.
Within the precision we can measure, we also don't know whether the universe is closed, open, or flat (that is, whether there will be a Big Crunch, a Big Rip, or just keep expanding forever at a steadily slowing rate).
I remember as a kid someone showed me a Kent video proving an atheist wrong and I thought it was such a great video and he made an awesome point. I'm not a religious person but I am spiritual and believe in a higher power and believe that we get back what we put out. You can be a drug addict alcoholic and if you are still doing good things towards others then you will still get good things coming to you but then if you're a sober person but you are stealing and doing wrong you will get bad karma back. It all comes down to how good you treat others and do right even if your "sinning" by consuming drugs or alcohol. It all boils down to what you put out to the universe and how you think. The again you can be a drug addict who steal and cheats and that's what you'll receive. And so on and so forth. With that being said I also believe in science. I don't know where we came from and I don't know if we evolved from apes but I have a feeling there is other life out there and we possibly came from another planet and we possibly were genetically modified to be the humans we are today. I'm not a Bible scholar or Bible thumper either but I do think that Christianity is a great blue print for how to live your life. That doesn't include the lies we were told that we can't get tattoos or can't be gay or we should fear God. I'm talking about be a good person, help people, love your neighbors. Get married , have a family, don't cheat, etc. just my opinion but I still love science and Mr. Dinosaur is definitely a fraud 😂

meanwhile book of genesis probably composed around the 5th century BCE or have been composed and added as late as the 3rd century BCE (including the flood myth plagiarism). so it's can't be just 6000 years old
Yes, Earth rocks are greater than 4 billion years old. Uh, have moon rocks been radiometrically dates to 4 billion years old? Yo... Have we even obtained samples of rocks from Mars yet?
Sure, you can argue >4 billion years old, but if asteroid dust is 7 billion years old and the oldest Moon rocks are already tens of millions of years older than the oldest known Earth rocks. I'm certain we can start saying we are wrong about Earth being just 4 billion years old at this point. I also do not understand how human scientists think dust from the formation of the solar system hitched a ride on a 220-pound rock and survived entry into the atmosphere. It sounds like that dust needed to embed itself deep into the asteroid to survive such a thing, and there's only two ways that can happen with one being - if the sun did not exist - that the asteroid formed with said stardust inside it. Personally, I know this solar system is much closer in age to that of the estimated age of the universe.
