  • Who's more right? Young Earth or a Christians who accept Science too? I'll tell you what, we're about to hear Ken Ham, the YEC from Australia, but also living in the same state as me (kentucky), explaiun why folks like William Lane Craig can't be trusted. a long time ago, like a few months maybe, in a galaxy not very far away, an atheist jumps in and says why both these beliefs are a bit silly.

    If I can't believe in an earth that's older than 6k years because "I wasn't there to see it", then I'm not going to believe in a guy coming back to life three days after being stabbed through the chest with a spear either, because "I wasn't there to see it".

      I'm assuming that Ham accepts that the reason he exists is because his parents engaged in sexual intercourse causing his mother to become pregnant. I'm also assuming that he was not there to witness the spectacle yet he accepts that it happened.

    I have no time for William Lane Craig's views on anything but for Ken Ham to accuse him of being a pseudo-intellectual is hilarious. I'll tell you what, Ken, nobody is ever going to accuse you of being an intellectual, pseudo or otherwise. He's just a sad, deluded old man who has worked out a way to extract huge amounts of money from the gullible.

    • @JGM0JGM

      Yep, all apologists are grifters (and I mean ALL of them). Some of them, like Ken Ham or "Dr." Dino are aware of this fact an use it to their advantage. Others, like WLC, are not unaware, but nevertheless, their income rests on the fact that people are gullible enough to accept their claims and think they are an intellectual reference. This leads those unaware grifters making claims such as "I lower the epistemic bar (so that my beliefs remain tenable)". If they weren't grifters needing loyal followers so they can keep the money rolling in, they wouldn't utter such inane comments.

Also why they fight amongst themselves 😆

      @skepticusmaximus184 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Yes. This deserves a name. Something like the projection paradox fallacy. The tendency to deny atheism vicariously on our behalf, is predicated on projection. They desperately want to believe,.that deep down inside, we intuitively jump to conclusions that affirm their own intuitive assumptions, so then projection of their own beliefs, is useful to assuage the possibility that we've arrived at our position rationally, and that we've refuted them (to our own satisfaction) with valid epistemic reasoning. Of course they don't realy know how to do that, nor do they want to. They want to believe what they do, and they want to believe that everyone else does too. So they project their wanna-believing onto us.
      The other half of the paradox, entails the no true Scotsman fallacy. The more detailed the doctrinal points become and the more zealous the beliver, the more exclusionary and divisive. If you don't believe this or that point, you can't really be one of us. They're not trying to cast others out as atheists, but unworthy of their gods love or salvation.
      Ironically they make more atheists either way. The first, because I know what I believe or don't believe, so if you're going to try contradicting my self affirmed beliefs/disbeliefs, your proving yourself to be fraudulent and just wrong. The second way, demonstrates your toxic exclusionary mindset. The bigotry of denouncing others who are proclaiming to be theist and adherence to your God, only affirms that the god you believe in, appears to be a mental construct, for affirming your ego. As you become specific in doctrine and evermore zealous, so too do other belivers appear to you as evermore heretical and unworthy. The desire to *'other'* people and excuse them, parallels the playground bully who feels bigger and better, by putting others down. It's self-righteous virtue, made of scorn and bigotry.
      The desperate desire to include those who disbelieve and the zealous impulse exclude those who do believe often clash paradoxically in the same religion, church, doctrine and even the same individual minds.

    As someone who is hoping to become a published author someday, I come across a lot of times where I have to calculate people's age by another person's age by their son's age. And let me tell you. This is not an easy thing to do. I'm no mathematician, obviously. But in taking into effect, not just the age of the father and of the son, but then also of the holy ghost... Try to get through that whole mathamatical experience. Well, it can really be disconcerting. It doesn't matter how old Adam lived if you're gonna take one of his younger sons and base the years and time on him. Then, take 1 of his son's babies, older or younger, and base it on him.

    @7:50-8:10 I just about choked myself up laughing when he said all of this, because the first thing that came to my mind very quickly was all of the scripture I have heard flat-earthers use to justify the Bible describing a flat Earth and a local Cosmos, rather than a spherical Earth and a huge Universe where everything we see in the night sky is actually light years away.
    It is so ironic Ken Ham would accuse William Lane Craig of taking man's word literally and god's word allegorically to side with mainstream secular science, because this is exactly what Ken Ham and other modern young Earth creationists do when they read all of the same versus from the Bible that literally describe a flat Earth and a local cosmological system. They were brought up to believe in a spherical Earth and distant heavenly bodies which is what mainstream science has been teaching in the western world for some time now, and guess what, Ken Ham accepts that and brushes off many verses in the Bible as allegorical that would otherwise refute modern geology and cosmology, even though there is absolutely no context in the Bible that suggest that these things were meant to be taken allegorically, but on the contrary, you find context that suggests the Bible writers literally believed in a flat Earth.
    For example, in Job 38, it describes a lot of things that God had created including the Earth, and it said after the Earth was created it took shape like a clay under the seal, which in today's terms would be analogous to a pancake or pizza. And guess what, there is context in that very chapter that provides insight as to whether or not the writer of job Mexicans literally or allegorically. You go a little farther into the chapter and it literally says "God shakes his enemies off the Earth edges". Now whether or not the writer meant this metaphorically, he used terminology that would totally make sense if he really believed the Earth was flat because his potential metaphor included in earth with edges which is absolutely and no way shape or form consistent with a spherical Earth, but works perfect on a flat earth. I wonder how Ken Ham what explain this one away and not look like a total hypocrite for what he said about William Lane Craig.

I know his public reputation depends on whether Christians think he's smart, but most academics would likely respond more along the lines of, "he's free to think that (and I certainly don't know everything or get everything right).
