The bible says there is a dome (the firmament) over the Earth. It is impossible to have a single dome over a sphere, the Earth must be flat according to scripture, so yeah, believing in god and the bible actually requires you to be a flat-Earther.
@@teacherdave27 Unless you recognize that the atmosphere is a round firmament around a round world. The "Biblical case for a flat Earth" went in the trash centuries ago, and the "Biblical case for a young Earth" is actually a relatively recent development and it's already going the way of the former.
Sorry, check your bible and try again. It says the firmament is a glass dome (the atmosphere is not a dome, it is also a sphere) with holes where the light of heaven shines through (nope, those are stars) and the where the “waters above” (that don’t exist, we looked ) drip through as rain (wrong again, rain comes from clouds), it says the sun and moon are inside the dome (not even close) and that they are the same size (waaaaay wrong !), etc., etc., etc. Try reading the stupid thing before you use it to defend against a position it clearly favours. My point stands.
@@teacherdave27 Your interpretation is but one of many, and you have yet to convince me that your particular interpretation is the one true way of thinking. What translation are you using? Can you cite chapter and verse for every point of your specific interpretation? You joined the conversation and made the outlandish claim that's often parroted on social media but which has been repeatedly discredited, so the burden of proof relies on _you._
I love him saying ‘I can’t believe you would make this without thinking about the ramifications’ The guy who wrote this 100% knows what he’s doing, he wants the ramifications. He wants the next generation to be ‘distrustful of science’, that is the point.
No. He doesn't. Stop it with the elaborate conspiracies on how evil liars want to spread misinformation. These people just don't know anything about science but think they know more than those who do. That's it.
A lot of religions preach that knowledge is the enemy of god. I don't understand how that's a good thing. If God wants us to be stupid and unknowledgeable, then he's a pretty cruel and malevolent god. But the really sad thing about it is that it's true. Knowledge really is the enemy of god. Which is a huge part of why I'm an atheist. The existence of a god makes absolutely no sense.
This is why the entire crux of sin was KNOWLEDGE. Highly educated people don't accept religion at face value, and most, after questioning it reject it.
I love when creationist don’t understand that neither the Big Bang or abiogenesis have anything to do with evolution. Evolution says nothing about how life began just why we have such diversity in life
Understandable, in a way. Their model of the universe covers everything, from egg to apple. The creation of the universe itsself, substance, stars, planets, life, species, all in one unified model that is simple, elegant, and wrong. So naturally they expect the rival model, 'evolution' to likewise cover everything that is or was. Evolution doesn't explain where the stars came from? Hah! Then how can it explain everything? Checkmate, atheists.
Creationists conflate the fact of evolution with the scientific theory of natural selection. They aren't going to disprove either because even if that were plausible, it would require doing actual science. It's also irrelevant because disproving evolution by means of natural selection doesn't suddenly make the god proposition more acceptable. Those who disbelieve in evolution don't care to understand it.
Fun fact: That video had about 1k views (after being up for 2 years) when I responded to it in 2017. I think my viewers had something to do with that glorious ratio. 😂 Great response, man! I love seeing a REAL science teacher take this on.

One thing you forgot to mention when responding to the goo line: We're not the end product. Creationists always think that evolution was intentionally aiming for humans, the ego on that one...

@@bestestbread I see your point, but I also agree with them, as I probably understood in a different way than you did: he described Christianity playing the game of that preacher (which is also the game of most anti-evolutionists), using very few basic elements of the whole subject, distorting them and melting them to deliver a sum-up that has nearly nothing to do with the original topic. And, so, taking this in context, it "is the absolute best way I've ever heard someone describe Christianity"
is this the same bullshit that Jordan Peterson and Dennis Prager pull? "I do not believe this, but i think Society needs people to be tied down in christian values and morals or hell will break loose for me and my rich friends" (the friends apply more to oil money sponsored Prager U than JP, but well... He seems otherwise very elitist too)
Yeah and they justify it like "Well, yeah it's wrong, but I have to lie. Otherwise they might get turned away from their savior." Basically "I have to do this very unchristian thing to justify making sure everyone else gets to be Christian."
@@Mark-Wilson Evolution is a theory, not a fact. A man's imagination. I am not a monkey man. I am a human being. One cannot be both, an animal and a human at the same time. Humans have a spirit, animals do not.
So I had a biology teacher in highschool, and he was my favorite. He was super passionate about his job. And the thing is? He was a super devout catholic. Went to church every sunday and everything. But he still understood that evolution has happened. In fact, he told us his own personal theory of how god set it all in motion as a beautiful art piece. His universe, chaotic yet beautiful. As an aethiest, of course, I don't believe his theory. But he was so passionate, and when I let him know, he told me that I have every right to believe what I want. That man was the best teacher I had.
That's the no true Scotsman fallacy. It's not like religious belief and scientific knowledge are 100 exclusive from one another, there's just disagreement when it comes to the explanation of why or how things are the way they are. Theistic evolution is a common belief. It doesn't make the teacher "not actually a catholic", just one with a little more education and understanding than many others.
Honestly, it feels so good that there's people like this in the world, and while I don't think that evolution is real, it still pleases me the creativity and passion some people have :)
For me, "there is a creator of the universe" and "Everything science has discovered is factual" are NOT mutually exclusive. What if "the creator" started/created the Big Bang, didn't elaborate further, and left this universe to do its own things? PS. I myself think that worshipping such an entity is pointless. He effing left!
@@goosebandicoot7083 Hi, raised Catholic here. There are plenty of Catholics (priests included) who believe in evolution and have gone through the necessary steps to be a Catholic. More and more Catholics accept that their understanding of how God created the world is not complete as we can’t even fathom what a day is for God. It could be billions of years for all we know. I won’t deny that there are issues with the Catholic Church, but this day, evolution isn’t really one of the. In fact, I’ve had a Catholic friend tell me that if someone they dated said the didn’t believe in Evolution, it was a dealbreaker. On the of chance you are a Catholic, your experience is very different than mine. However, I feel like you should know that being Catholic takes more than just going to church. It’s a cultural way of living and there are steps to being able to fully participate in all parts of the mass. You can be a scientist and Catholic, compared to some other variations of Christianity I’d say it’s easier to be both a scientist and a Catholic. So, don’t go knocking on people just cause they don’t fit your idea of what a Catholic should be. It’s a religion with a long complicated history, with admittedly dark parts of its past, but it’s survived as long as it has because like many things on this planet, it has “evolved”.
The problem with preachers is that whenever kids ask questions, the preacher would just give a vague, non-answer like "god works in mysterious ways" or "how dare you question god?!"
@@alligator_with_internet_access I was always told by my mom that this 'end of days' was predicted, and was probably happening right now. Asked her multiple times what it was, was always given very vague answers, and was scared to death of it for years. Did my own research, and it turns out that it's in a section of the bible that seems like one huge fever dream with visions of multi-winged creatures and a 'prediction' that was supposed to happen over 1000 years ago.
I thought "aw, it's quite a fun song, actually, and made me laugh". Then I thought, "I wonder why scientists don't write a fun song mocking the creationist standpoint ?" Then I realised, of course, scientists have more taste than to sink to that level.
Creationism does not inherently go against science if a creationist is loose enough with their ideals, so it is very difficult to even make a song mocking them without just dissing them needlessly. Whereas science is consistent. If you disagree with one scientist, you'll disagree with any other decent scientist in the same field. So, yeah, it's just kind of difficult. You have to make a song mocking a specific type of creationist who vehemently denies all things science. And then somehow clarify that you're doing that so people don't think you're just being rude.
You think it was a cute song? I was more like Forrest and disgusted by the whole thing. It's straight up lying with malice, to harm childrens education. Sick religious indoctrination. Just disgusting.
@@OzkanArac They just thought it was comedic. Kind of like that one flat earther skit where he told his son to tilt a marshmallow and then that caused it to get hot enough to catch on fire. It can be harmful but still well-made and funny. Sort of like dark humor, I guess.

@Umair yt After deciphering what you said there, the story of lungs is very interesting. It seems that rudimentary lungs developed on fish that lived in areas where due to changing conditions the water started to become deoxygenated, so they would go to the surface and 'gulp' air to compensate for this
@Umair yt well I think you should first learn how to use correct spelling and grammar so that you have a better chance at understanding the scientific research.
See, that last argument is something that always bugged me. "Science didn't do it, God did it with magic". I mean if God does exist wouldn't it be an insult to say it's all magical god-power, rather than some sort of unknowable genius capable of setting up an unfathomable complex system and setting it in motion? Reminds me of Family Guy where Peter is going on about a plastic bag in a eddy current being a metaphor for the profound nature of the universe - then it cuts to God on a cloud "IT'S JUST TRASH IN THE WIND! Do you have any idea how complicated your circulatory system is?!"
Nah That would mean people can achieve that stuff too if they studied it enough Magic god power however means mine is the ultimate Dad that can beat up all these scientists Dads
Absolutely. God is a being with unfathomable power, so it stands to reason he should be fully capable of forming a universe built on complex rules and systems that we ourselves can observe and learn.

@@coranbaker6401 The problem is, that' goes against the Biblical teachings. The moment kids realize evolution happens to groups, not individuals they realize that Adam and Eve can not possibly be a true story. And the moment Adam and Eve is not true, then original sin isn't true either. That would mean Jesus had no reason to come back, no purpose. And if Jesus doesn't have any reason to be, then he can't be God. So it's just best to say, evolution is nonsense, Jesus is God, don't think about it. Don't investigate it. Science must be flawed if it doesn't come to my conclusion.

I went to a Christian school and I had a class where the teacher would use the exact same arguments against evolution. At the end we had to write a reflection about what we learnt in class (so he knew we were paying attention) and I wrote about exactly how every one of his arguments were wrong, catalogued by each week of class. I got a 20% because “I obviously didn’t listen in class or I would’ve realized that he was right”. 90% of the kids in that class all believed the teacher completely and years later they are still going around believing in the flawed info that was taught to them in that school.
As an outspoken atheist and IB / AP Biology educator; if I was told to teach that "some random magical sky daddy made a universe by voodoo magic " which is exactly what Creationism / Intelligent Designs states; I would resign that day! Religion poisons the mind with ancient, dogmatic, bullshit; all based on ignorant men {with the total science knowledge of a pre-schooler}, "making shit up" attempting to understand the natural world; failing at every point !
I like how you don’t just point out the wrong things about his arguments, but also the underlying issues the song causes. That just goes to show how much you truly care.
The thing is that he absolutely is thinking about the ramifications of his actions. This is what this guy actually believes. He also believes that convincing kids of this will save them from burning in Hell. On another note, my wife teaches in elementary school. She loves it for the same reasons you seem too. One of her favorites is when a kid finally understands something and she can see the "lightbulb come on". Well, that and all of the hugs.

I've never seen anyone touch on the line "The end of which is you." Its become the part of the song that annoys me the most just because no ine points it out. Humans are not the intended end of evolution. Humans are just a relatively recent step in evolution. If we all die out, evolution is going to keep going. It's a naturally occuring process, not something with intent.
thats something that annoys me to about a lot of stuff i heard fundamentalists say as they already is trying to strawman evolution to crap... the idea that 'oh there must not only be a plan..a goal.. but humans must be the 'best' of it all..idiotic...
Not to mention the obvious followup question of “where the fuck did god come from?” Religion will survive for hundreds of years to come but it will do so through adapting to science rather than rejecting science. Just as it has always done

I remember in my 4th year at a catholic school, 1 of the teachers asked the stuudents to ask any question. So I was thinking 'hmmm, how do birds fly', to which I did ask and had the entire class laugh at me. Then the teacher condescendingly said "because they have wings" Because I was a shy kid I didn't push forward on how that didn't really answer anything and changed my question to rockets flying. The answer to that was " because of the force". They all thought I was stupid for asking such "simple" questions and 1 kid came and asked me if I was alright. 1st year in engineering school and 1 of the profs said there aren't many stupid questions, as an example he said that he wouldn't be able to answer how birds fly because it so complicated. I thanked him and told him my story. He said that if the the answer was simply wings that people could just put on a pair of wings and fly. But yeah children need to just ask questions.
The question of why birds can fly is indeed complicated, but it’s partially because they have hollow bones, so very very light skeletal structures. Humans would not be able to fly even with proportionally sized wings because our skeletons are too heavy. And different birds fly in different ways, so yeah, it’s a lot of info that can’t be easily summarised. A hummingbird flies very differently from a condor, for example. And flying insects are different again.

It didn't help that I was "rewarded" by my family for regurgitating this sort of stuff with encouraging words and praise for sticking to my beliefs. So yeah, I was a very dogmatic person for most of my early life and into highscool. Luckily, I started questioning things and looking at what science was saying and I realized that what my church and family had been telling me all my life just doesn't add up.

Jokes work on levels of awareness, and I think it's pretty self-evident that the joke here is "isn't evolution so dumb". Calling it "the science of delusion" is a pretty blatant admission of that, and he's using the fact that the song restrains his phrasing to disguise that this is what he effectively, actually thinks, or at least wants his audience to think.
@@rplatt9829 I don't say that the message from the song is good, it isn't. That doesn't change the tune. Rap for example can have a great message, but I don't like it at all, regardless what message it has ... It's all a out the tune, not the message ... Maybe that is due to growing up in a non-English speaking country? When I heard English songs on the radio as a kid, I understood literally nothing. Yet some songs I liked and others I didn't. A good example would be, "Another brick in the wall" ... I liked that song, without knowing the message. And my uncle once asked me, if I'd knew what that song is about and I denied ... He then said, that I'd probable like it more if I would (being a child, school being bad etc.). So I guess this irrelevance towards the meaning of the lyrics still carries on, even though I do understand English now ... If I like the tune or the lyrics rhyme in a way I like (irrelevant if I understand them now or if I don't), then I find the song catchy or good. Regardless of what the meaning of the song is. It doesn't mean that I would recommend a song though, if I know what it is about and the message either sucks or is even going completely against my views ... Yet, it does not change anything from the initial catchyness of the song ... So I may even like musical tune with racist lyrics. I don't need to approve the lyrics, to like the tune. They are two completely seperate things to me.

Like insisting two plus two equals five and that we just don't understand complex math it goes into the theory that two plus two equals five, so that's why it doesn't make sense to us Or there's an infinite amount of zeros after the twos so that's why we don't understand where's the five is coming from Saying "God did and I can't explain how because it's complicated" is not a complicated Theory
@@FrancisR420 ok first of all, thank you for bringing up arguments in a polite way 😃I enjoy good conversations...ok I already said that his "powers" have no limits, he can do anything...what does that mean? Anything you can possibly think of, he's capable of this on the highest level..." "Oh, well can't he just murder billions, send people to Hell and do the most horrific things just because he wants to have fun? Technically, he would be able to, but he also has infinite love for us..our minds can't comprehend his limits because everything has limits to us on earth..he loves us more than anyone could ever love us, and that is why he doesn't just slaughter us in spite.." How could a God of love kill people and send them to Hell...I don't want to be apart of that!!" Well first of all we live in a fallen world..this means that we decided to sin and separate ourselves from God..EVERY person who ever lived (Besides Jesus) this is why natural disasters happen, wars, murder, disease. This all was the effect of our sins. How do we know God exists..he is not of this world so we can't just put him in a beaker, stir him around and say, "Here's proof!" The evidence is nature itself.. Everything in the entire universe points to nature. DNA, cosmic bodies, the mind, even the dirt that we are standing/sitting on. Let me ask you this question...how can a mindless process end up with VERY VERY complex organisms.. "BiLlIoNs oF YeArs!!" That's not how it works..life comes from previous life.. to say that chemicals and non-organic matter created simple organisms over time rejects the rules of nature. Yes, technically chemicals and non-organic matter take part in creating new life..but to create an entire organism from scratch with non-organic matter involved at all is impossible..Let me ask you this...what is the origin of the universe? If you think it has always been here..there is overwhelming evidence against that like an expanding universe, and a possible heat death in the future..if you say there was a big bang that came out of nothing and created everything including extremely complex life that is next to impossible to come from non-organic matter..why don't other things come out of nothing..why is there one exception to that rule? "My theory" is based on God's word, the Bible...the Bible is very complex..I said before, no one has all the answers to it..and that makes it sound that for anything we can't prove we just say, "Oh, have faith..I can't prove it so I'll just say that not everything is explainable" there are tons of unexplainable things in science as well To say there is "NO" supporting evidence to "My theory" is utterly ridiculous..there is an overwhelming amount of evidence to support it. The FACT that the Bible has not been disproven in thousands of years of history is evidence..with over 40 different authors and a span of about 4500 years of written history, the Bible is truly amazing..this is why I believe what I believe..let me know if you have any questions..thank you!
@@ShadowMageYT Evolution is an observation. There is so much evidence in favour of it that it is treated as a scientific fact. The theory is natural selection, that evolution (which we have observed) is caused by selective pressures caused by the environment. This is a well supported and robust theory. And no, it's not our job to disprove the bible. It's your job to provide supporting evidence for it. We have our supporting evidence, this was outlined in the video you're replying to. Take your pick of the fossil record, genetic phylogeny, genetic fossils, convergence or homology, all this strongly supports evolution by natural selection. We can't disprove the bible. It's inherently unfalsifiable. That's why the burden of proof is positive and goes to the person making a claim. We have our strong supporting evidence for evolution by natural selection, where's yours for the bible? It's not good enough to say it hasn't been disproven, the idea that I farted the universe into existence last Saturday and all your memories with it hasn't been disproven and can't be. It's obvious that can't be our standard. Limitless powers are also inherently self contradictory. The age old meme example is "could god cook a burrito so hot he couldn't eat it". While an obviously stupid example, it raises a point on the inherent cyclical and contradictory nature of theoretical omnipotence. Limitless powers should allow a god to create impossible and contradictory scenarios. We know the god of the bible is omnibenevolent, omnipotent and omniscient, this should mean that god wants to irradiate evil, knows how to irradiate evil and has the ability to irradiate evil. To pre-empt the counterargument, free will. This is where the infinitely hot burrito comes in. If god is truly omnipotent he should be able to create a universe where free will does not conflict with the irradiation of evil. Even if those two statements are contradictory, if he can't do it there is a limit to his power. He can't break contradictions. If he can break contradictions then something else clearly doesn't add up. Also, I have no problems wrapping my head around something that's always existed. I have no reason to doubt that in some form the universe has always existed. Time and space as concepts may not have, but the universe existed before the big bang. This is something that's generally agreed upon. We have no idea what the state of the universe before the big bang could have been, because the event obscures any current methods we have of viewing before it, but we're reasonably certain the universe didn't come from nothing. There's some hypotheses but there's really no reason to give any of them any more weight than god right now.
@@zikuanli8483 I mean, YHWH is a deity of rage. Genesis 4, wasn't it, he flooded the planet and killed all life except 7 people and 2 of each animal. His reason was that humanity was too busy having sex to praise him every second of every day, and that is a crime humanity can't be forgiven for. So "angry murder bee" is right in line with what God would make. As is a parasite that spreads through shit as it sucks your life ever so progressively.
"The end of which is you" I appreciate him talking out the science, but this line frustrates me even more than the goop part. It's really crazy how most people, especially creationists, seem to have this idea in their head that WE (right now) are the End-All-Be-All of evolution. Like, it's cute that you think that, but there's more to this universe than UsRightNow. Humanity 2021 isn't the end of our evolutionary timeline.
I'm off the opinion that we as humans won't evolve anymore simply because what is there to threaten us as a species to change. The list is non-existent, anything that can harm us a species is something we won't be able to deal with
But this is exactly the reason why so many people deny evolution. Admitting that our existence is nothing more than some sort of coincidence makes humans less special. It goes against the narrative that the world was made for us. But that's exactly what those people want to believe, what they cling to. It's not that they wouldn't be able to look at the evidence and understand, they simply don't want to. They chose not to. So making false arguments and poking holes in them is just for them to feel better about themselves.
It felt as if you really got enraged at the idea of telling lies to the youth, I could feel the passion in it. It's really nice to see someone who still has passion like this.

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world.

From a very young age I was pretty interested in animals and nature documentaries, and when I first learned about evolution I was fascinated and thought it was really neat that we were related to other great apes like chimpanzees. Little animal lover me was delighted to discover that I was just another species of animal. Imagine how little eight year old me felt when I started telling my classmates about evolution and they began to bully me for thinking we "came from monkeys" and laughed at me and made fun of me. I genuinely remember learning about Darwin being made fun of for his theory of evolution and thinking "hey, I had a similar experience, just not about my own ideas." I wonder if any of those kids remember bullying me for talking about evolution, and if they feel stupid now that they've learned about evolution in school? Not claiming I was some magical expert on evolution at that age too, I had a very poor understanding at the time, I was no child genius! Just a kid really interested in learning about the natural world. Which is what led me to be studying a STEM course today! xD Glad I did not stumble across videos like this when I was that age, I probably would have fallen for it and thought this was how evolution works.
I think it's completely acceptable to nitpick every aspect of this video. Regardless of the simplicity of language used, that language should be accurate. Whether or not this video is intended for children, the simplistic and reductive language seems intentionally chosen to make the theory of evolution - and scientists themselves - seem stupid. This video is an intentional attempt to misinform children in order to further a religious agenda.

@Tsinatkeab Massebo Interesting. What can you teach me about indoctrination and how I am wrong about it? Also, I'm still waiting to learn what you have to teach me about religion.
I teach college physical anthropology classes, and many of my students tell me (after we rather exhaustively cover evolution) that this level of quackery is what their understanding of evolution had been prior to taking my course. It's really, really sad.
I like how you don't necessarily try to attack religion in itself. I love seeing the facts and evidence you talk about and how you mostly focused on the positive.
I'm glad for it because many many religions are not creationist. It's stupid. Evolution so obviously exists. I'm a Catholic, and Catholicism supports evolution. In fact, on of the first major individuals to study genetics, Mendel, was a Catholic monk. Also, in the first book of the bible, Genesis, the creation story is written in a type of Hebrew poetry, and is not meant to be taken exactly.

I am a much older science teacher, recently retired. But when I was a little girl, pre-middle school, I saw an ad from a anti-evolution tv preacher, the first I'd ever seen. He was selling his (ok, it's this old) cassette tapes and books. I remember this so clearly. He used the example of the clown fish and the sea anemone. He started by calling the anemone a "plant like creature" then proceeded to make fun of the idea of the evolution of their symbiotic relationship. "How did they do this? Did a clown fish get stung by the anemone, and then just kept getting stung until it could stand it?" he said, incredulously. "How could the sea anemone, a MERE PLANT..." Oh yes he did, I remember it so clearly. He went from calling it a "plant like creature" to actually calling it a "plant." I had not yet gotten to middle school but I know two things that made him a fool. First, I know that wasn't how evolution worked, even though I was a little kid who had never heard of Lamarck. I just knew that was nonsense. And I also knew, even though I was a little kid who lived no where near any ocean, that a sea anemone was an animal. I didn't remember where I'd learned it, but I knew that. I thought no one would take him seriously because he clearly didn't know what he was talking about. All these years later I see I was wrong about the ability of people to recognize nonsense.

There was this one video that I saw I forget what it was called, sorry, but it was an experiment performed by I believe Stanford University where bacteria was put on a glass platform. The bacteria would die and breed extremely quickly so over the course of ten days they would make it across the board. The only catch was that there was anti-bacteria in different quantities along the board. The bacteria starts without any resistance and moves on to an extremely low concentration of biocide. Eventually a line of bacteria will grow resistant and start going further. The amount of anti-bacteria increases exponentially until it reaches 100x the concentration that was at the start, and the bacteria made it all the way across in like 10 days. It was a really cool showing of micro-evolution that I think really pushed my full belief in evolution.
6:43 I totally agree! And even as a 20 year old biology student, I had already internalized the idea that evolution would choose what it wanted to be and that everything wanted to eventually become a human. But now begs the question: What would be a better way to teach this concept to kids, so they don't carry these kinds of misconceptions into their adulthood?
My guess is something simple like how the species of plant that has a green flower and a white flower (might be wrong about the colours) that due to humans picking the white flowers the plants are more likely to grow green flowers. Something that shows an external action and a consequence

So naturally they expect the rival model, 'evolution' to likewise cover everything that is or was.
Evolution doesn't explain where the stars came from? Hah! Then how can it explain everything? Checkmate, atheists.
@@vylbird8014 it’s only simple if you ignore all science, the amount of gymnastics they do would earn them then gold in every Olympic category
Creationists conflate the fact of evolution with the scientific theory of natural selection. They aren't going to disprove either because even if that were plausible, it would require doing actual science. It's also irrelevant because disproving evolution by means of natural selection doesn't suddenly make the god proposition more acceptable. Those who disbelieve in evolution don't care to understand it.

So I had a biology teacher in highschool, and he was my favorite. He was super passionate about his job. And the thing is? He was a super devout catholic. Went to church every sunday and everything. But he still understood that evolution has happened. In fact, he told us his own personal theory of how god set it all in motion as a beautiful art piece. His universe, chaotic yet beautiful. As an aethiest, of course, I don't believe his theory. But he was so passionate, and when I let him know, he told me that I have every right to believe what I want. That man was the best teacher I had.
That's the no true Scotsman fallacy. It's not like religious belief and scientific knowledge are 100 exclusive from one another, there's just disagreement when it comes to the explanation of why or how things are the way they are. Theistic evolution is a common belief. It doesn't make the teacher "not actually a catholic", just one with a little more education and understanding than many others.
Honestly, it feels so good that there's people like this in the world, and while I don't think that evolution is real, it still pleases me the creativity and passion some people have :)
For me, "there is a creator of the universe" and "Everything science has discovered is factual" are NOT mutually exclusive.
What if "the creator" started/created the Big Bang, didn't elaborate further, and left this universe to do its own things?
PS. I myself think that worshipping such an entity is pointless. He effing left!
@@goosebandicoot7083 the Catholic Church actually says evolution is fact
@@goosebandicoot7083 Hi, raised Catholic here. There are plenty of Catholics (priests included) who believe in evolution and have gone through the necessary steps to be a Catholic. More and more Catholics accept that their understanding of how God created the world is not complete as we can’t even fathom what a day is for God. It could be billions of years for all we know. I won’t deny that there are issues with the Catholic Church, but this day, evolution isn’t really one of the. In fact, I’ve had a Catholic friend tell me that if someone they dated said the didn’t believe in Evolution, it was a dealbreaker.
On the of chance you are a Catholic, your experience is very different than mine. However, I feel like you should know that being Catholic takes more than just going to church. It’s a cultural way of living and there are steps to being able to fully participate in all parts of the mass. You can be a scientist and Catholic, compared to some other variations of Christianity I’d say it’s easier to be both a scientist and a Catholic. So, don’t go knocking on people just cause they don’t fit your idea of what a Catholic should be. It’s a religion with a long complicated history, with admittedly dark parts of its past, but it’s survived as long as it has because like many things on this planet, it has “evolved”.

I thought "aw, it's quite a fun song, actually, and made me laugh". Then I thought, "I wonder why scientists don't write a fun song mocking the creationist standpoint ?" Then I realised, of course, scientists have more taste than to sink to that level.
Creationism does not inherently go against science if a creationist is loose enough with their ideals, so it is very difficult to even make a song mocking them without just dissing them needlessly. Whereas science is consistent. If you disagree with one scientist, you'll disagree with any other decent scientist in the same field. So, yeah, it's just kind of difficult. You have to make a song mocking a specific type of creationist who vehemently denies all things science. And then somehow clarify that you're doing that so people don't think you're just being rude.

See, that last argument is something that always bugged me. "Science didn't do it, God did it with magic".

Because I was a shy kid I didn't push forward on how that didn't really answer anything and changed my question to rockets flying. The answer to that was " because of the force".
They all thought I was stupid for asking such "simple" questions and 1 kid came and asked me if I was alright.
1st year in engineering school and 1 of the profs said there aren't many stupid questions, as an example he said that he wouldn't be able to answer how birds fly because it so complicated. I thanked him and told him my story. He said that if the the answer was simply wings that people could just put on a pair of wings and fly.
But yeah children need to just ask questions.
Birds fly because of 'THE FORCE'.
Yoda can fly too.
And adults learn to teach
The question of why birds can fly is indeed complicated, but it’s partially because they have hollow bones, so very very light skeletal structures. Humans would not be able to fly even with proportionally sized wings because our skeletons are too heavy.
And different birds fly in different ways, so yeah, it’s a lot of info that can’t be easily summarised. A hummingbird flies very differently from a condor, for example. And flying insects are different again.

It's sad that there are so many people who prefer to remain wrong rather than accepting the truth, and their response to finding out that they are fractally wrong is to try to make the rest of us wrong, too.
Yeah here's the thing. He's hiding behind the idea of it being "just a silly song, why so serious" to get away with saying basically wrong nonsense. Jokes work on levels of awareness, and I think it's pretty self-evident that the joke here is "isn't evolution so dumb". Calling it "the science of delusion" is a pretty blatant admission of that, and he's using the fact that the song restrains his phrasing to disguise that this is what he effectively, actually thinks, or at least wants his audience to think.
Because he's a dumbass who slept through biology in high school.
Despite that ... the song is catchy >.<
I kinda hate that I like it ... xD
"its just a joke" explain the joke then. oh the joke is that science is stupid? its not really a joke then
@@rplatt9829 I don't say that the message from the song is good, it isn't.
That doesn't change the tune.
Rap for example can have a great message, but I don't like it at all, regardless what message it has ...
It's all a out the tune, not the message ...
Maybe that is due to growing up in a non-English speaking country?
When I heard English songs on the radio as a kid, I understood literally nothing.
Yet some songs I liked and others I didn't.
A good example would be, "Another brick in the wall" ...
I liked that song, without knowing the message.
And my uncle once asked me, if I'd knew what that song is about and I denied ...
He then said, that I'd probable like it more if I would (being a child, school being bad etc.).
So I guess this irrelevance towards the meaning of the lyrics still carries on, even though I do understand English now ...
If I like the tune or the lyrics rhyme in a way I like (irrelevant if I understand them now or if I don't), then I find the song catchy or good.
Regardless of what the meaning of the song is.
It doesn't mean that I would recommend a song though, if I know what it is about and the message either sucks or is even going completely against my views ...
Yet, it does not change anything from the initial catchyness of the song ...
So I may even like musical tune with racist lyrics.
I don't need to approve the lyrics, to like the tune.
They are two completely seperate things to me.

Oh, the lie that Creationism is less complicated. Where did God come from? How exactly do His powers work? If you ignore most of the questions, sure, you can *pretend* your theory isn't complicated. But really, "a sentient being of immense power made Earthly life" just raises way more questions than it answers.
Really?..God has always existed.. yes it's hard to grasp your mind around that because of our finite nature..everything has a beginning and end to us..How exactly do his powers work? Really? He has no limits, he is truly all-powerful..he can do anything..(that doesn't mean he will...) and yes our "theory" (which is much more than a theory) is extremely complex..it's not easy to understand and no one has ALL the answers.. that is why we have faith..Also.. I know this will frustrate most but, there is much more evidence towards a Devine Creator than "evolution"
@@ShadowMageYTyou don't realize that your answers are all just ignoring the questions
He asks a question and you're like "really you don't understand? that question doesn't apply so we don't have to answer it"
You have yet to provide any evidence or anything close to an explanation for how something like that could be infinite.
God does not have a theory accompanying it, the theory would be something that explains data and provides predictive model.
and the idea that God exists is extremely basic has no evidence supporting it ahead and provides a predictive model that fails nearly 100% of the time
If an alien that created humans actually existed and and didn't come about through abiogenesis and also there was an unending source of Power with a conscious behind it the theories behind that would be extremely complicated, that's not what you have
Your explanations aren't hard to understand and contextualize because they're complicated or exist on a scale humans can't imagine, they just don't make any sense.
Like insisting two plus two equals five and that we just don't understand complex math it goes into the theory that two plus two equals five, so that's why it doesn't make sense to us
Or there's an infinite amount of zeros after the twos so that's why we don't understand where's the five is coming from
Saying "God did and I can't explain how because it's complicated" is not a complicated Theory
@@FrancisR420 ok first of all, thank you for bringing up arguments in a polite way 😃I enjoy good conversations...ok I already said that his "powers" have no limits, he can do anything...what does that mean? Anything you can possibly think of, he's capable of this on the highest level..." "Oh, well can't he just murder billions, send people to Hell and do the most horrific things just because he wants to have fun? Technically, he would be able to, but he also has infinite love for us..our minds can't comprehend his limits because everything has limits to us on earth..he loves us more than anyone could ever love us, and that is why he doesn't just slaughter us in spite.." How could a God of love kill people and send them to Hell...I don't want to be apart of that!!" Well first of all we live in a fallen world..this means that we decided to sin and separate ourselves from God..EVERY person who ever lived (Besides Jesus) this is why natural disasters happen, wars, murder, disease. This all was the effect of our sins. How do we know God exists..he is not of this world so we can't just put him in a beaker, stir him around and say, "Here's proof!"
The evidence is nature itself.. Everything in the entire universe points to nature. DNA, cosmic bodies, the mind, even the dirt that we are standing/sitting on. Let me ask you this question...how can a mindless process end up with VERY VERY complex organisms.. "BiLlIoNs oF YeArs!!" That's not how it works..life comes from previous life.. to say that chemicals and non-organic matter created simple organisms over time rejects the rules of nature. Yes, technically chemicals and non-organic matter take part in creating new life..but to create an entire organism from scratch with non-organic matter involved at all is impossible..Let me ask you this...what is the origin of the universe? If you think it has always been here..there is overwhelming evidence against that like an expanding universe, and a possible heat death in the future..if you say there was a big bang that came out of nothing and created everything including extremely complex life that is next to impossible to come from non-organic matter..why don't other things come out of nothing..why is there one exception to that rule?
"My theory" is based on God's word, the Bible...the Bible is very complex..I said before, no one has all the answers to it..and that makes it sound that for anything we can't prove we just say, "Oh, have faith..I can't prove it so I'll just say that not everything is explainable" there are tons of unexplainable things in science as well
To say there is "NO" supporting evidence to "My theory" is utterly ridiculous..there is an overwhelming amount of evidence to support it. The FACT that the Bible has not been disproven in thousands of years of history is evidence..with over 40 different authors and a span of about 4500 years of written history, the Bible is truly amazing..this is why I believe what I believe..let me know if you have any questions..thank you!
@@ShadowMageYT Obvious bait, nobody acts like this in real life; don’t waste your time.
@@ShadowMageYT Evolution is an observation. There is so much evidence in favour of it that it is treated as a scientific fact. The theory is natural selection, that evolution (which we have observed) is caused by selective pressures caused by the environment. This is a well supported and robust theory. And no, it's not our job to disprove the bible. It's your job to provide supporting evidence for it. We have our supporting evidence, this was outlined in the video you're replying to. Take your pick of the fossil record, genetic phylogeny, genetic fossils, convergence or homology, all this strongly supports evolution by natural selection. We can't disprove the bible. It's inherently unfalsifiable. That's why the burden of proof is positive and goes to the person making a claim. We have our strong supporting evidence for evolution by natural selection, where's yours for the bible? It's not good enough to say it hasn't been disproven, the idea that I farted the universe into existence last Saturday and all your memories with it hasn't been disproven and can't be. It's obvious that can't be our standard.
Limitless powers are also inherently self contradictory. The age old meme example is "could god cook a burrito so hot he couldn't eat it". While an obviously stupid example, it raises a point on the inherent cyclical and contradictory nature of theoretical omnipotence. Limitless powers should allow a god to create impossible and contradictory scenarios. We know the god of the bible is omnibenevolent, omnipotent and omniscient, this should mean that god wants to irradiate evil, knows how to irradiate evil and has the ability to irradiate evil. To pre-empt the counterargument, free will. This is where the infinitely hot burrito comes in. If god is truly omnipotent he should be able to create a universe where free will does not conflict with the irradiation of evil. Even if those two statements are contradictory, if he can't do it there is a limit to his power. He can't break contradictions. If he can break contradictions then something else clearly doesn't add up.
Also, I have no problems wrapping my head around something that's always existed. I have no reason to doubt that in some form the universe has always existed. Time and space as concepts may not have, but the universe existed before the big bang. This is something that's generally agreed upon. We have no idea what the state of the universe before the big bang could have been, because the event obscures any current methods we have of viewing before it, but we're reasonably certain the universe didn't come from nothing. There's some hypotheses but there's really no reason to give any of them any more weight than god right now.

From a very young age I was pretty interested in animals and nature documentaries, and when I first learned about evolution I was fascinated and thought it was really neat that we were related to other great apes like chimpanzees. Little animal lover me was delighted to discover that I was just another species of animal.
Imagine how little eight year old me felt when I started telling my classmates about evolution and they began to bully me for thinking we "came from monkeys" and laughed at me and made fun of me. I genuinely remember learning about Darwin being made fun of for his theory of evolution and thinking "hey, I had a similar experience, just not about my own ideas." I wonder if any of those kids remember bullying me for talking about evolution, and if they feel stupid now that they've learned about evolution in school?
Not claiming I was some magical expert on evolution at that age too, I had a very poor understanding at the time, I was no child genius! Just a kid really interested in learning about the natural world. Which is what led me to be studying a STEM course today! xD Glad I did not stumble across videos like this when I was that age, I probably would have fallen for it and thought this was how evolution works.
I think it's completely acceptable to nitpick every aspect of this video. Regardless of the simplicity of language used, that language should be accurate.

@@walnutoil100 show me evidence for the non-existence of unicorns and vampires and we'll show you the same for the non-existence of god. The only "evidence" against is the lack of evidence _for._ That's just how things work my man.
To be fair, even if evolution did teach that we came from a glob of goo, it is still more believable than the shite spewed in the bible.
Plus the genocide in the Bible.
1 Samuel 15 3
"Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys"
@@LisaAnn777 That literally doesn't have anything to do with evolution. Just because god supports genocide does not mean creationism is not believable.
I mean, "man is made from mud and woman is made from a rib" Is quite hard to believe.
@@stefanofeblesverastegui8869 it means your deity is a psychopath if he exists, and isn't worthy of worship. Most people have what they call empathy and don't support genocide if any kind. Don't give af about evolution.
The Bible men are made of dirt and woman from a man's rib, it's completely braindead.
@@LisaAnn777 My deity? I am an atheist. I just think your comment is non sequitur to the topic in question
I honestly feel like this song could easily get kids interested in evolution instead of being against it.
agreed
That guy had to be trolling. No one’s actually this stupid right?

"I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day." -- Douglas Adams
Evolutionism is indeed ignorance....
I am a much older science teacher, recently retired. But when I was a little girl, pre-middle school, I saw an ad from a anti-evolution tv preacher, the first I'd ever seen. He was selling his (ok, it's this old) cassette tapes and books. I remember this so clearly. He used the example of the clown fish and the sea anemone. He started by calling the anemone a "plant like creature" then proceeded to make fun of the idea of the evolution of their symbiotic relationship. "How did they do this? Did a clown fish get stung by the anemone, and then just kept getting stung until it could stand it?" he said, incredulously. "How could the sea anemone, a MERE PLANT..." Oh yes he did, I remember it so clearly. He went from calling it a "plant like creature" to actually calling it a "plant." I had not yet gotten to middle school but I know two things that made him a fool. First, I know that wasn't how evolution worked, even though I was a little kid who had never heard of Lamarck. I just knew that was nonsense. And I also knew, even though I was a little kid who lived no where near any ocean, that a sea anemone was an animal. I didn't remember where I'd learned it, but I knew that. I thought no one would take him seriously because he clearly didn't know what he was talking about. All these years later I see I was wrong about the ability of people to recognize nonsense.

3:11: "Earth was pounded to death". Excuse me, I believe the correct is, Earth was pounded to life.
That sounds oddly...sexual... the question is why do I sorta like it
Lol
There's actually a theory that the first life on Earth came from a comet. IDK how well the evidence fits that theory, but they did find simple life on a comet awhile back.
@@ettinakitten5047 Basically, the bombardment of earth in its early stages may have left some sort of organic bacteria or organic molecules
@@ettinakitten5047 I know I've seen Forrest talk this in some video, I just can't remember now. From what I've seen around, the A biogenesis theory that life would have started on Earth Oceans is more accepted by the scientists. One of the reasons being that it'd be hard for these simple life forms to survive atmosphere burn up.
Kyle Hill has a video where he goes through an experiment where they shot some Targiridae (those waterbears that can survive on space) at similar speeds of Meteorite and they didn't really survived.
Gotta love how religious people literally only need ONE really old book and that is all the proof. Yet science has had so much time and effort put into it to help us understand so much but somehow that is all false?! Huge reason why I turned away from religion. Love your content man!
That’s not really how it works but at least you tryed to prove a point now please keep your anti religion thought to yourself because honestly no one wants to hear you take a massive load on what they believe in
@@Mr.StopMotion Kind of like how no one wants to hear this completely unproven BELIEF (aka means it has no factual proof) pushed constantly in the most hypocritical way! Everyone ignoring all the holes in it all and expecting people to just take it because why?…..Just because its in a really old book. Smh. Just because you believe something doesn’t mean its true. And I know the same can be said to me with believing it isn’t true. At the end of the day, I can actually accept I may actually be wrong.. But anyway, thanks for the comment. Take care.

What you said: "You are setting kids up to fail, and as an educator that pisses me off."
What people like him think to themselves when they hear you say that:
"If I'm pissing people off, I MUST be right!"
Dare to be Stupid, son.
There was this one video that I saw I forget what it was called, sorry, but it was an experiment performed by I believe Stanford University where bacteria was put on a glass platform. The bacteria would die and breed extremely quickly so over the course of ten days they would make it across the board. The only catch was that there was anti-bacteria in different quantities along the board. The bacteria starts without any resistance and moves on to an extremely low concentration of biocide. Eventually a line of bacteria will grow resistant and start going further. The amount of anti-bacteria increases exponentially until it reaches 100x the concentration that was at the start, and the bacteria made it all the way across in like 10 days. It was a really cool showing of micro-evolution that I think really pushed my full belief in evolution.
6:43 I totally agree! And even as a 20 year old biology student, I had already internalized the idea that evolution would choose what it wanted to be and that everything wanted to eventually become a human. But now begs the question: What would be a better way to teach this concept to kids, so they don't carry these kinds of misconceptions into their adulthood?
My guess is something simple like how the species of plant that has a green flower and a white flower (might be wrong about the colours) that due to humans picking the white flowers the plants are more likely to grow green flowers.
Something that shows an external action and a consequence
Talk about how so many sea creatures gained the darker pigments on the top of them while lighter colors are found on their underside,
@@isdrakon9802 im not a scientist, but its possible that they developed darker pigmets on the top of their skin which would be facing the sun, and the darker pigments would help protect them from the cancer causing UV rays
@@aradia9726 I'm late to this party, but the darker skin on top for stuff dwelling in the ocean is actually because, when you're looking down from higher up, the deep ocean looks very dark, so darker colors is camouflage, much like when you look up its lighter, so the lighter underbelly is also camouflage.
The idea that all animals have special abilities and senses that we don't have should be enough to consider that humans are not "the best result of evolution". Even our closest cousins the chimps have better strentgh, speed, visual memory and other traits than us.
Every time I see something like this "song", or anything by people like Ray Comfort or Kent Hovind, I channel Professor Farnsworth and think: I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
i dont thin like that though, i think more like, those kinds of people should be sent off to space with no life support system, just so they can understand how this universe is so fine tuned to kill us.
“I don’t understand evolution and we need to protect our kids from understanding it.” Oh how right Futurama was. Also all hail B. B. Rodriguez.
I always think "Beam me up, there's no intelligent life down here!"
Okay, but those guys are horrifying boomers who look like the spawn of Vince McMahon more than his actual kids, whereas Rives is young and cute himbo material.
You're pretty safe from this kind of idea if you just leave the US. There are a few idiots around in other countries, but for some reason the vast majority are only found in America.
honestly not sure why this video popped into my recommended list today but i am glad it did because this video really gave me the same kind of vibe steve irwen gave off when he was teaching people about animals and I haven't gotten that feeling since... well actually since the last time i watched a video of steve irwen teaching people about animals

Ah, back in the days when you could see dislike numbers and compare ratios.
i love how your intentional "misrepresentation" of christianity is pretty much spot on to what many classic versions of the religion actually believe and teach
I recommend the Books that the
Famous Unhealthy Atheist 'Onision' wrote.
Well, not the Books itself,
but the Book-Reviews.
Same for the Famous Unhealthy Theist 'Norman B.'
and his Book 'Empress Theresa'.
In short: Book-Reviews of 'Empress Theresa' and Onisions
Books are always a BLAST.
its hilarious how bad they are. Shows how you can get something
out of Books so terrible they are funny to dissect and pity.
Krimson Rogue and many other TH-camrs have had their Crack
on those; its always hilarious, i say!
