you made it to the big time now Mel you got on with Paul. I am really jealous as I would love to do a Ham and AiG news with him. just they don't talk about anything in my field of knowledge of design.
When is Morgan coming back? She tears into Ken and PhD Giggles like no one else. Her abrasiveness is the perfect compliment to Paul's measured, mature and EDUCATED rebuttals. Perfect "Good Cop/Bad Cop" scenario. ♥️
Paulogia just wanted you to know exactly how much I enjoy your video content. Thank you so much for all you do in our neverending fight against the viral infection of indoctrinated willful ignorance. Please keep up the great work!
I am also a fan of Morgan. Oh and Paul, if you'd like an educated, secular Australian accent on your show I'm more than happy to oblige! Full disclosure: it upsets me that the only Australian accent I see on your show is Ken's. I was raised a Christian and identified as a Christian until I was 18. I feel a strong familiarity with your story Paul. I didn't lose a family due to religion but I did lose a lot of close friends and essentially my culture. Love your work mate.
I think the funniest thing is that some early Christian theologians (I don't remember his name exactly but I remember reading it, forgive me) said that it was unbiblical to believe that there were men on the other side of the world, as Jesus would then have to go and die for them as well. Any time I hear Ken Ham bring up his aliens argument, I always think of that, and how insanely wrong they were.
The modern Roman Catholic Church recognizes the possibility of intelligent life on other worlds. Some theologians, recognizing that the aliens would never have heard of Christ, proposed that God would make provision to redeem them as well. This has been justly ridiculed as a notion of Christ going from world to world to be sacrificed over and over again.
You know I was going to go to the Ark Park... but there was some paint drying to watch instead. Edit: wait Georgia is a real life geek? Can I go see her bite the heads off chicken? I mean I don't buy that she's a you know modern geek (Star Wars, Doctor Who, D&D) so clearly Ken means the old school kind.
Georgia has a PhD in molecular genetics from Ohio State University. And a very obvious "tell" when she's lying. Any time you see a close-up of her when she's giving the Answers In Genitals doctrine about genetics, her eyes repeatedly flick left-right-left-right... She *knows* the truth about genetics and evolution, and some part of her brain rebels when she parrots the AiG doctrine. The cognitive dissonance is very strong.
I guess I was smarter than I thought I was. My first thought when I saw Ham making fun of the article was that it made perfect sense when you consider how long it takes sound and light to travel across space. And then Scientist Mel confirmed my assumption based on nothing but a most rudimentary comprehension of how light & sound work in the vacuum of space.
Long time viewer. First time commenter. Just have to say thank you Paul dor everything you do and helping me out so much in my personal life. Like you i am a canadian (North Bay, ON) and had a very similar up bringing in a very religious baptist family being taught the bible as factual historical truth and being taught Ken Hamm is genius. You've been an inspiration to me and an amazing wealth of knowledge. Keep up the amazing content.
I would be hard pressed to get 20 people to come and listen to me! Could the deciding factors be that I don't have a million dollar ark, paid shills, easy access to a gullible crowd, or a supersize ego? Nah, there has to be something special about him.....is it the accent?
There are organisms that happily live on black smokers at the bottom of the ocean, in volcanic pools and under polar ice caps. Why couldn't something live on Titan?
Thanks once again! My girlfriend, a cradle atheist does not yet comprehend why I get Hulk-like when I encounter the bullshit of Hamonism!Recently during an AA meeting I had all of my buttons pushed and went after the whole “god” concept. The end result was that a small group wanted to write AA central and have me banned from meetings.Of course it didn’t work, but I am happy I found Freethinker/Agnostic/Atheist meetings. Anyway, happy to have found you along with all of your stunning guests. I am inspired to keep my own investigation of this magnificent universe ongoing while attempting to hold back the uprising tide of the Christian Sharia from our amazing continent.
For the alternative nucleic acid backbone (my field of work): there are a few potential ones that have much simpler backbones, both in structure and elemental composition. One example is PNA, peptide nucleic acid, where the backbone bonds are basically peptide bonds, no phosphates involved. GNA or glycerol nucleic acid is even simpler, just three carbons, although that one has phosphates inbetween.
Look at the size of the audience at the beginning....based on his Ark Encounter ticket sales I am sure Ken would say that the auditorium was full with standing room only
Why pay a ticket to Ken Ham's Ark when we can see it as posters for free by watching his show. Not that it is intellectually better but at least it's so much cheaper.
Oh and there's a celestial in our solar system a lot more similar to Earth than Titan is. That would be Europe. Another natural satellite excepte much closer and made hoter thanks to its planet's gravity. The heat is strong enough that Europe has the water cycle just like water cycle on Earth or methane cycle on Titan.
Hi. Binge watching again. As soon as that first headline, was read, I thought, ja, it's probably coming from soooo far away, that it was "sent" or broadcast long long ago! And your guest went ont explain, very nicely, I might add, exactly that. And, I think to myself, 😎, I understand this stuff better than I give myself credit for 🤦♀️🤦♀️ And THEN, THAT OTHER LADY SAYS 🤣🤣🤣🤣GHOSTS 🤣🤣🤣🤣! I was stunned actually. #askPaulogia Aren't these people PhDs?? Also, we are broadcasting signals so that ours may be discovered by whomever out there. And who knows, by the time it is discovered, we may be long gone. Ken is soooo narrow minded. PS. I might come back to edit this comment, but I do hope you read it. 😁
I love that you had the infamous “post-pool scene” from Seinfeld, when she talked about telemere (I’m probably misspelling this) shrinkage! 😂 Another great vid, thanks! Looking forward to the next Genesis “Paradise Lost” Hovind Jr. vid, hope that’s coming soon too! ✌🏼
I love when your theme song goes "boop-boop bop-bop boop-boop bop-bop". I find that *far* more intellectually stimulating than just about anything AIG says. :)
a tad like saying if we cant live underwater, nothing can live underwater, to be honest. humans arent really the final arbiter of where something can or cant live. the question is more whether or not it did develop, are there the same sufficent chemicals, systems, and temperature ranges to bring about life like there was on earth. things can live in deep space, theoretically, its just utterly strange to think that something would just happen to develop there. wherever there is a thermodynamic energy differential, free energy that needs to be dissipated, life can theoretically exist in some odd form or another, even if only after being put there by some other life in some odd experiment. its entirely a question of whether or not its likely to have developed
One of the problems with Titan that is not mentioned often is temperature. It's very very cold there. And chemistry is slower when it's cold. So if there is any life there, it's probably happening in extreme slow motion. Replicating not every hour but every year, who knows? The problem is even greater if the degradation reactions that return more complex molecules to their starting products or to useless side products are less hindered by cold than then synthesis reactions. Also a nitpick on the lithotrophes: they don't eat inorganic material per se. When we eat for example sugar, we get both biomass from this food and energy by burning it. Sugar or protein or fat is both the material and the fuel. With chemolithotrophes, the redox reactions don't use ATP generated by the Krebs cycle, but they use these redox reactions with minerals to directly excite electrons. This resembles photosynthesis, but instead of solar photons, it's a mineral redox reactions that brings an electron to a high energy state, which then goes across the electron transport chain, causing a proton gradient that ATPases then use to make ATP from ADP and Pi, which powers the cell. It's more like photosynthesis than our eating. We don't say plants eat sunlight, they eat air (and a bit of soil) and use sunlight to do interesting stuff with it, like growing. Lithotrophes will still need to eat biomolecules, but instead of sunlight they use the power of rusting minerals. You need to energy to survive, but energy alone cannot make you grow. They still need a source of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen etc.
@paulogia - watching your videos often makes me want to watch the movies you have clips from. I know it's extra work, but is it possible to list the movies you're using?
~19:30 had to back up and listen again...distracting underwear models are distracting. I still can't decide if AiG are genuine in their beliefs. After all the scientific articles they have covered, you'd think that some of the gymnastics they have to go through to "debunk" them would have worn them down. Every time I watch Answers News, it reaffirms my belief that they are Absolutely Wrong About Absolutely Everything (copyright Aron Ra).
great video as always(my only "complaint" is that Scientist Mel's avatar made her look like a 70 year old woman with wild, dyed-red hair. it almost reminded me of the old lady in "Requiem For A Dream" after she started going crazy. lol.I was quite surprised to see what she actually looks like.
What's sad is that Dr Purdom actually made a better job explaining the Scott Kelly genetic expression story than most media outlets, including some that really should know better. At least, up to her comments on human / chimp DNA similarities. Most stories would make you think that 7% of Scott's DNA was changed, which would leave him in pretty bad shape.
SETI should point their equipment at AIG and see if they can find any intelligent life there! Actually, the odds are probably still significantly better looking into the vacuum of space.
I think the discussion of the "98% Chimp DNA" thing missed the point. AiG is absolutely right that this number depends on how you count. It's like saying that bible manuscript A has 98% of the text of manuscript B. Do two spelling differences on one page count as one page difference or two spelling differences? If two pages are different because they start on different characters, but are otherwise the same, is that a difference? What matters is not the number 98% but that by using consistent methods across comparisons that we will come to a realistic RELATIVE set of differences -- so that we can see that we are more closely related to chimps than to gorillas, to gorillas than to giraffes, and to giraffes than to gila monsters.
Overall not very flattering, I looked her up because I couldn't believe that she looked like... that. She's actually pretty but her channel isn't about that, otherwise I would call her a hot scientist... oops I said it anyway, my bad.
"Hi, I'm Ken Ham" "And I'm Georgia 'Child Abuser' Purdom" *"And we have no freaking concept of the unfathomable size of the universe or the limitations of space travel and speeds attainable by objects!"* "That's right, Georgia! Which is why we think a signal sent by aliens should arrive immediately and are confused by why aliens would be dead! Because we're fucking _dumb!"_
At about 3:00 : Wow! Its been so long, I didn't recall that 'Ursa' from the first "Superman" movie guest starred in "V" The Series (and probably the entire reason people believe in the 'Reptillian Conspiracy' today 9_9). Gonna have to look that episode up on youtube later ^_^
we know subatomic particles can be used for information, what are the odds an advanced civilization would use electromagnetic principals for any of it? Has or should the equation been reconsidered?
The biggest problem we face in terms of getting a signal from another civilization is whether or not we're listening in on the right frequency. Currently, because it's such a big sky and there's a whole bunch of frequencies we could be listening to, we focus on one frequency only. And that's the frequency based off the hydrogen atom because hydrogen makes up some ridiculously high percentage of the universe. So we imagine that aliens would do the same thing. But suppose instead of that, they take a different view and instead send out or listen to messages based on the frequency of carbon because they and all other races they know are carbon based. Think about it like this. When you're in your car and you're driving along you turn on the radio and you shuffle through the stations you like. There is radio chatter going on all around you but if you're only listening to 97.7 Rock then you won't ever catch any of the other stations out there. We could literally be receiving signals from them right now but because we're listening on the wrong wavelength we'll never hear it.
What we know is lifeforms developed and evolved on an earth-like planet that, for whatever reason, evolved the ability to potentially survive in entirely hostile environments. What we haven't determined, to the best of my knowledge, is whether a lifeform can develop from the components found in the aforementioned hostile environments. A critical misdirection in the argument, as far as I'm concerned, as we have no way of postulating how such a lifeform might both evolve and transport itself to a distant body. Tardigrades evolved on Earth, correct? Hence, we are postulating illogical scenarios. We need to demonstrate that life can form from radically different molecules and carbon or, perhaps, silicon configurations that depart radically from our own. Otherwise, we are participating in exercises of futility. Let's stay focused, people.
So if a signal from another planet within our own galaxy managed to reach us, could we assume that this civilization is still around due to the relatively shorter distance?
Great video Paul. Thank Darwin for people like Scientist Mel who make science interesting and understandable 👍. After all, science is hard and requires effort, every time I watch Ken and his followers they seem to just selectively decide which parts of articles they will comment on without looking at the context or taking the time and effort to look at the science😳. Like I said science is hard, religion is easy and as I have said many times wants to treat people like mushrooms 🍄, kept in the dark and fed s**t 👿. Keep up the great work, and stay safe everyone, raining again in England, grrrrr supposed to be spring, might try praying 😈☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️, then again maybe not😎.
We will prevail;it may be a while until we do, but we cannot lose... assuming that the idiots don't destroy the fucking place in the meantime, goddamn it... It's weird, but I just never get bored with being correct. As the late Christopher Hitchens said, "Personal vindication does a lot for me!", a sentiment with which I could not agree more. "Arrogant"? "Conceited"? "Condescending"? Moi? No, that's them projecting again!
I think that we need to think about for the Drake equation and your specific talk about radio signals how strong of a signal would we expect to get in seven years when today's signal gets to Alpha Centauri?
Georgia, in response to possible life on Titan: an unenthusiastic "woohoo"... I'd be stoked. But guess it'll be complicating their lives somewhat.. WOOHOO!
Oh my not-God, Scientist Mel almost gave me a heartattack when she smashed through that wall.... *gasp* What really scares me, is if we DO discover alien life. We know FOR SURE they will never give up their faith, so what do you reckon they will think about aliens? My guess is they'll consider aliens as a life-form that cannot be described through the bible... and therefore, as abominations. A new "crusade" against "heretical" life forms... **shudders**
I don't agree with Christians who think that life can't exist elsewhere. The Bible is concerned with human life and salvation it doesn't concern itself with other worlds nor is there much reason to assume it would. I'm very skeptical about the existence of intelligent life in this part of the galaxy (mostly due to the lack of evidence) but if I found out tommorrow there were space aliens it wouldn't mean much to my religious beliefs... given the chance though I'd be very interested to talk to them about what they believe assuming they have some form of religion.
+Paranormal Encyclopedia, writes _"I'm very skeptical about the existence of intelligent life in this part of the galaxy [...]"_ After talking to theists, creationists, flat-earthers, etc. I'm skeptical about the existence of intelligent life on this planet...
Paranormal Encyclopedia after viewing years of on line viewing i would have to say " take out the clowns , please". We have serious problem with " the bible told me so" crowd.

That was awesome, Paul! Thank you! You're super freaking talented. I had a great time 🤓❤️
Scientist Mel Paul is one of the most talented creators. And you rocked it here. Cheers!
Scientist Mel you booty kisser 😊 just kidding. He is.
A little short sighted? Special K's head is so far up his ass he can't find his way out with a flash light. LOL
you made it to the big time now Mel you got on with Paul. I am really jealous as I would love to do a Ham and AiG news with him. just they don't talk about anything in my field of knowledge of design.
I was super stoked when Paul asked. I'm pleased it turned out so well 🤓❤️
When is Morgan coming back? She tears into Ken and PhD Giggles like no one else. Her abrasiveness is the perfect compliment to Paul's measured, mature and EDUCATED rebuttals.
Perfect "Good Cop/Bad Cop" scenario. ♥️
she's a busy lady, but the door's always open for her
Paulogia just wanted you to know exactly how much I enjoy your video content. Thank you so much for all you do in our neverending fight against the viral infection of indoctrinated willful ignorance.
Please keep up the great work!
I am also a fan of Morgan.
Oh and Paul, if you'd like an educated, secular Australian accent on your show I'm more than happy to oblige!
Full disclosure: it upsets me that the only Australian accent I see on your show is Ken's. I was raised a Christian and identified as a Christian until I was 18. I feel a strong familiarity with your story Paul. I didn't lose a family due to religion but I did lose a lot of close friends and essentially my culture.
Love your work mate.
One thing we can be sure of is there is no intelligent life on Ken Hams show.
Oh shit! Shots fired!
Bah-doom-ching
Ah, nothing like Ham & AiG in the morning. Really gets you ready for the day.
The fact that Ben Stein is a creationist makes that Ferris Bueller clip even funnier.
"that Ferris Bueller clip" ==> BZZZT! It's not "that" clip. It's >>> THE
They criticize scientists for imagining life on other worlds, when their entire "museum" is based on imagination
I think the funniest thing is that some early Christian theologians (I don't remember his name exactly but I remember reading it, forgive me) said that it was unbiblical to believe that there were men on the other side of the world, as Jesus would then have to go and die for them as well. Any time I hear Ken Ham bring up his aliens argument, I always think of that, and how insanely wrong they were.
And so, the Church of Latter Day Saints was concocted at an upstate NY kitchen table.
The modern Roman Catholic Church recognizes the possibility of intelligent life on other worlds. Some theologians, recognizing that the aliens would never have heard of Christ, proposed that God would make provision to redeem them as well.
This has been justly ridiculed as a notion of Christ going from world to world to be sacrificed over and over again.
"Vast misunderstanding of our own planet and the organisms that live on it." That is a perfect definition of creationists.
I just realized, AiG can be pronounced as "egg"... The intro song is even more precious to me now!
Jeez, I never caught that until you mentioned it. Although I'll continue to FF past the song...
I thought that was the whole point
@@ruthbaker5281 It probably is, didn't dawn on me immediately though, English being my third language and all that 😅
Love your videos. I wish you were on cable TV....The world needs it.
You know I was going to go to the Ark Park... but there was some paint drying to watch instead. Edit: wait Georgia is a real life geek? Can I go see her bite the heads off chicken? I mean I don't buy that she's a you know modern geek (Star Wars, Doctor Who, D&D) so clearly Ken means the old school kind.
Paranormal Encyclopedia You looking forward to the world paint drying championships too? Hope England can take gold in the mauve.

The cognitive dissonance is very strong.
Dr, England hasn't been relevant for over a decade. All the experts blame this to the switch to latex.
Dev B Yeah but the team has done a lot of work with traditional paint mixes this year and I'm confident that we can make our comeback.
Everyone knows the team from Wakanda has it locked up this year.
I guess I was smarter than I thought I was. My first thought when I saw Ham making fun of the article was that it made perfect sense when you consider how long it takes sound and light to travel across space. And then Scientist Mel confirmed my assumption based on nothing but a most rudimentary comprehension of how light & sound work in the vacuum of space.

yay! Scientist Mel!
Watching this during mandatory chapel at my university 😅
What university has manditory chapel?
Well, at least you found a way to make the wasted time more enjoyable at least.
What university? I went to Asbury, and they had mandatory Chapel
As always, great work with the clips Shannon Q.
Why pay a ticket to Ken Ham's Ark when we can see it as posters for free by watching his show. Not that it is intellectually better but at least it's so much cheaper.

I prefer the atheist commentary walk throughs myself. You get a view of the inside and something intelligent to listen to to counter the silly.

My favorite comedy show AIG
I appreciate the use of Titan A.E. Such an underappreciated movie
So glad you guys found a home for Ham and Banana guy..please keep them
"Still, you could have used the door." Right into the explanation. Priceless.
I've got to say, the opening is genius.
Don't forget, personal incredulity can tell you facts about things you've never experienced before
Great intro for scientist Mel
nogodinvolved neat 🤓❤️
I love that you had the infamous “post-pool scene” from Seinfeld, when she talked about telemere (I’m probably misspelling this) shrinkage! 😂
Another great vid, thanks! Looking forward to the next Genesis “Paradise Lost” Hovind Jr. vid, hope that’s coming soon too! ✌🏼
I love when people make the connect
My daughter loves the theme song to this show and sings along all the time.
awesome!
I love when your theme song goes "boop-boop bop-bop boop-boop bop-bop". I find that *far* more intellectually stimulating than just about anything AIG says. :)

My favourite notification.
yay
Mel is such a cool person. I could listen to her talk science all day.
i love seeing ken ham's audience sizes and seeing the 12 people he conned into showing up when he has 100+ seats just in view lol
I don't have any idea why they used that shot
De-icer. A product of actual science. Why would he think that would ever work. Just pray the ice away, Ken!
That is one hell of a live audience.
When Mel said " This is BAD SCIENCE" my mind immediately started trying to write a parody of the " Weird Science" song titled " Bad Science".
One of the problems with Titan that is not mentioned often is temperature. It's very very cold there. And chemistry is slower when it's cold. So if there is any life there, it's probably happening in extreme slow motion. Replicating not every hour but every year, who knows?

At about 3:00 : Wow! Its been so long, I didn't recall that 'Ursa' from the first "Superman" movie guest starred in "V" The Series (and probably the entire reason people believe in the 'Reptillian Conspiracy' today 9_9). Gonna have to look that episode up on youtube later ^_^
V fan!
Ok Paul, you got me. What was that thing with the people in masks dancing? I need to know.
Surprise, surprise Ken doesn't understand science and the two women are lying to him to keep their easy paycheques.
we know subatomic particles can be used for information, what are the odds an advanced civilization would use electromagnetic principals for any of it? Has or should the equation been reconsidered?
Don't you just have to wonder what's the use of an all-knowing all-powerful friend who can't even warm a frozen-shut car for you?
The biggest problem we face in terms of getting a signal from another civilization is whether or not we're listening in on the right frequency.
Currently, because it's such a big sky and there's a whole bunch of frequencies we could be listening to, we focus on one frequency only. And that's the frequency based off the hydrogen atom because hydrogen makes up some ridiculously high percentage of the universe. So we imagine that aliens would do the same thing. But suppose instead of that, they take a different view and instead send out or listen to messages based on the frequency of carbon because they and all other races they know are carbon based. Think about it like this. When you're in your car and you're driving along you turn on the radio and you shuffle through the stations you like. There is radio chatter going on all around you but if you're only listening to 97.7 Rock then you won't ever catch any of the other stations out there.
We could literally be receiving signals from them right now but because we're listening on the wrong wavelength we'll never hear it.
0:18 WOW! Just WOW! That's a TRULY empty auditorium!
Even emptier than his "ark park" parking lot, ticket queues, gift shop, etc. Who've thought?!
just great
Ken interrupts Georgia so she doesn't "geek out" too excitedly and inspire others to look into the claims themselves
What we know is lifeforms developed and evolved on an earth-like planet that, for whatever reason, evolved the ability to potentially survive in entirely hostile environments. What we haven't determined, to the best of my knowledge, is whether a lifeform can develop from the components found in the aforementioned hostile environments. A critical misdirection in the argument, as far as I'm concerned, as we have no way of postulating how such a lifeform might both evolve and transport itself to a distant body. Tardigrades evolved on Earth, correct? Hence, we are postulating illogical scenarios. We need to demonstrate that life can form from radically different molecules and carbon or, perhaps, silicon configurations that depart radically from our own. Otherwise, we are participating in exercises of futility. Let's stay focused, people.
So if a signal from another planet within our own galaxy managed to reach us, could we assume that this civilization is still around due to the relatively shorter distance?
Great video Paul. Thank Darwin for people like Scientist Mel who make science interesting and understandable 👍. After all, science is hard and requires effort, every time I watch Ken and his followers they seem to just selectively decide which parts of articles they will comment on without looking at the context or taking the time and effort to look at the science😳. Like I said science is hard, religion is easy and as I have said many times wants to treat people like mushrooms 🍄, kept in the dark and fed s**t 👿. Keep up the great work, and stay safe everyone, raining again in England, grrrrr supposed to be spring, might try praying 😈☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️, then again maybe not😎.
Where is that movie clip from dealing with the old man discussing the Titan 'ecosystem'?
"The Titan", a Netflix original movie
Thank you.
For once, Paul, why don't you do a video about the honest and honorable AIG organization, American International Group (comparatively).
I can't wait to see an alien scifi movie! I wonder if their "aliens" will look like us?
We will prevail;it may be a while until we do, but we cannot lose... assuming that the idiots don't destroy the fucking place in the meantime, goddamn it...
It's weird, but I just never get bored with being correct. As the late Christopher Hitchens said, "Personal vindication does a lot for me!", a sentiment with which I could not agree more.
"Arrogant"? "Conceited"? "Condescending"? Moi? No, that's them projecting again!
Titan AE is an underrated classic. Choice reference Paul.
thank you, Akios!
I just subscribed...This Is awesome..
welcome, Hawk!
I think that we need to think about for the Drake equation and your specific talk about radio signals how strong of a signal would we expect to get in seven years when today's signal gets to Alpha Centauri?
Also radio signals could be more scrambled due to Interstellar conditions things we just wouldn't know about yet
I also think if you look at Earth it's not exactly in a very well populated place as far as stars go
ping:Paulogia What is the clip starting at 6:43 from? It looks interesting. EDIT: Should have watched further and compared it clips.
The Titan. Netflix original. It was ok... could have been better
Immortal in space all I'm hearing
I was thinking his "gravity" genes were turned off while he was in space. Just a guess using the Hamological Method.
Ken is probably frozen in fear when flying. That’s why he always makes travel seem like it’s worse than it is.
11:27 Had to go back a minute or so. Was distracted by something, and missed what Scientist Mel was saying.
Even if we never receive or get received has no bearing on the investigation, nor its potential underlying existence.
What if they just started broadcasting?
Georgia, in response to possible life on Titan: an unenthusiastic "woohoo"... I'd be stoked. But guess it'll be complicating their lives somewhat.. WOOHOO!
We also may be the first civilization to arise.
Ugh, Ken Ham was in the same state as me... I need a shower.
Oh my not-God, Scientist Mel almost gave me a heartattack when she smashed through that wall.... *gasp*
What really scares me, is if we DO discover alien life. We know FOR SURE they will never give up their faith, so what do you reckon they will think about aliens?
My guess is they'll consider aliens as a life-form that cannot be described through the bible... and therefore, as abominations. A new "crusade" against "heretical" life forms... **shudders**
kweassa sorry! I'll use the door next time 🤓❤️
6:42
Which movie is that?
Interested as well
I need to know this aswell.
Got it! The movie is called "The Titan". It is from 2018
Annnd I wached it.
If you have a lot of free tme with nothing to do, then I recommend this movie, but in any other case, just watch something else.
They need information.
Lots of information.
They probably have it.
They just choose to ignore it.
She’s got so much to teach she doesn’t even need to be responding to Ham and AIG. Cool.
So much imaginations huh
this must be the only channel you can get a V clip in the same video you get a clip from WKRP !!
probably. my mind is a strange place.
I don't agree with Christians who think that life can't exist elsewhere. The Bible is concerned with human life and salvation it doesn't concern itself with other worlds nor is there much reason to assume it would. I'm very skeptical about the existence of intelligent life in this part of the galaxy (mostly due to the lack of evidence) but if I found out tommorrow there were space aliens it wouldn't mean much to my religious beliefs... given the chance though I'd be very interested to talk to them about what they believe assuming they have some form of religion.
+Paranormal Encyclopedia, writes _"I'm very skeptical about the existence of intelligent life in this part of the galaxy [...]"_
After talking to theists, creationists, flat-earthers, etc. I'm skeptical about the existence of intelligent life on this planet...
I'm more then skeptical about intellient life here.
As Monty Python is known to have said, I certainly hope there is life in outer space because "there is bugger all down here on Earth."
protoborg I adore “The Galaxy Song”, and ‘The Meaning of Life’ is their greatest film imo! ✌🏼
Paranormal Encyclopedia after viewing years of on line viewing i would have to say " take out the clowns , please". We have serious problem with " the bible told me so" crowd.
