New show coming; “Are you Smarter Than an Iron Ager,” with host Jeff Fauxworthy. I sure hope the host uses his famous running joke formula, “You might be a heretic.” One of my favorites; “If you are being stoned to death for denying a particular god, you might be a heretic.” - Funny stuff.
Years ago, was on a camping trip with some friends and woke up early one morning only to see a crimson glow in the eastern sky that grew brighter and brighter. "What could be causing this?" I thought to myself. Then it dawned on me.
I am watching someone read and debunk an apologist's book where it said (paraphrased) that "Jesus had to be a genius or was a part of creation of the universe because he knew that living things need sunlight, oxygen, food and water" ... yeah...
"No political agenda will ever allow people to be reasonable because they know a public that is healthy, educated, & optimistic is much harder to govern."
I love the titles as he speaks, "#rigged" or "Sindication is my favorite channel." But I almost peed a little when he said that the questions were taken from elementary school textbooks, and then I saw, "Hopefully not Texas."
Almost seems like a setup by a small group of men, who knew that keeping the flock uneducated and scared about everything, while never letting them learn to read the texts from “god” themselves, was a great way to stay in powerful, snd continually manipulatable. What if a young man, who had learned all of the Jewish teachings, then went on a pilgrimage to learn about other religions and myths, in other parts of the world, just as old or older, or newer, then came back and said, “look what I know. How do I know it? I’m a messiah.”
I think what matters is that the leaders are a little bit smarter than the followers, but none of them are anywhere as smart as they think they are. Faith is thinking you are smart.
Aw hell no, it's already popular enough as it is without dumbing it down even more for illiterate MAGA dips**ts. Disclaimer: I say as someone who enjoys a good graphic novel.
My favorite is the politician (extreme right, of course) that said we don´t have to worry about "climate change because "god" told us so... My comment: Where ?
@@howdoyouknow1218 That was Greedy Killerwatt, Reagan's Secretary of the interior and the reason I quit the rapidly worsening Republican Party. Greedy was so willing to destroy the world that was going to end in 2000 that even the oil companies said he was selling too many offshore drilling leases.
To be fair, part of the reason that people failed so often at _Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader_ is that the kids are being asked questions that they just had a unit covering. I used to watch and I was usually able to go all the way, but I had my nemeses in the History and Geography categories. I'm sure if I had recently been taught about the various battles of the Revolutionary War or had a unit regarding important cities in Africa, I would be better able to answer when the Battle of Princeton took place or know what the capital of Chad is.

Great video ! Jesus is purported to have said in John 3:12 (NRSV) "If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?" This implies that earthly things should be much more trivial to demonstrate their truth, so first you believe and corroborate those, find Jesus trustworthy, then consider to believe the rest. But if someone didn't even believe the simple things, then it's impossible for them to believe the supernatural claims that are not directly demonstrable. So, the fatal corollary of this saying is: "if I have told you about earthly things, and _these are false_, how can you expect that the heavenly things I say are true?" We can't expect that. So we can't trust the Bible as the revealed word of God, as the biblical Jesus himself implies.
Yeah BUT when Jesus showed people how to avoid Leper-see detailing it's cause's and how to avoid it ...What's that? Jesus didn't do any of that...just healed a couple Leper's an let the rest suffer??? But Jesus could have...should have... Aw Fudge!
Jesus...(God according to Christians) was also the one that decided or allowed leprosy to be created in the first place. Even if Jesus had taught people how to avoid it, Jesus would still be the one responsible for people being plagued by it.
@@dougt7580 , Oh sure Jesus gave us leprosy but he stood firm against Dandruff (little known fact), which is why none of the people in the Bible died from Dandruff...oh sure he killed all the first born children of Egypt and all of humanity in the tale of Noah (save Noah and his family to commit incest) but ...but... Aw fudge you're right :(
God's knowledge and insights have a long and proven track record of curiously exactly matching the knowledge and insights of the human beings that it is supposedly delegating to speak on its behalf.
@@InigoMontoya- yeesh... if that's true, god really screwed up that one. No wonder it's always coming up with bizarre schemes trying to fix its creation post hoc.
@@dougt7580 yeah, it’s kind of a formulaic sitcom, with the bumbling buffoon father figure- like the Simpsons, only with Homer in charge of creation, instead of working in a power plant.

Dragons technically do exist... if we're talking about the Komodo Dragon, an endangered species of giant lizard. If we're talking about the mythical fire breathing kind then no those don't exist. Though it's thought that the legends of Dragons were based on Dinosaur fossils since in some cultures they literally use the same word to refer to both dinosaurs and dragons, it's really only English speaking countries that have two different names for what a dragon and a dinosaur are.
@@valivali8104 Didn't know that one. But yeah a lot of mythical creatures are based on real things that were misinterpreted like that and then people just made things up about them rather than actually trying to learn what it actually is.
Ok what about Satyr's Behemoths, Unicorns, giants aka NEPHILIM, Griffons, OPHANIM, LEVIATHANs, various beasts of Revelation, c0ckatrices, Cherubins, Talking Asses that are not in Shrek, Whales, or giant fish that can swallow men whole and not asphyxiate them in minutes, and more wonderous and clearly made up creatures in the smut books we call the buy-bull, the Doh-Rah, The Doh-Ran, The book of Morons, and so on?
@@graffffik nephilim are actually demigods; in book which was popular but was left out canon of old testament, Gilgamesh was mentioned and called nephilim.
But of course the problem today isn't with the ancients, or the tribal whor god of Abraham ('whor' because he was a party dude). It's with people today who _should_ know better (and most likely do), demanding that their followers don't ask the questions or voice the concerns that anyone else would ask about any other area of life. If you stand on a pulpit or a chamber of Congress and profess your belief in hogwash, who's surprised the people you influence aren't nodding their heads in agreement? I look forward to the day when an open atheist runs for president. They won't win of course, but what about the second one? Or the third? It's less and less of a pipe dream every cycle. Because more and more people stand up and say, "I don't believe this nonsense". The Matt Dillahuntys and Aron Ras and Brian Daltons we hear are making that difference. It's dawning on lots of folks (mainly the young) that god has no clothes. He's not only naked, he's nonexistent.
Thanks to Christian home-schooling, the knowledge of a 5th grader isn't a consistent unit of measurement anymore. A public school 5th grader would know a lot more than a home-schooled 5th grader!
Ah, but the bible has great scientific knowledge in it that was imparted to us thousands of years before it was discovered...wait, what do you mean that's not how knowledge works and we didn't have it before it was discovered?
Marc DC, I have a list of people that I would like you to proclaim are still alive. If it works like this last time, the world will be a better place; well, at least from my perspective.
At Christmas or as we pagans call it Yule is all about celebrating the birth of Jesus, but Jesus was born in December and by the calendars before Cesar Augustus who screwed up the months so that we could have August. September, October, November, December strait up means the 7th, the 8th, the 9th and the 10th month - And yet is celebrated in the 12th month.
I don't know... a lot of the kids I knew in 5th grade weren't all that smart. Well, let's define the difference between ignorant and stupid. Most were ignorant about anything that didn't involve sports, cars and rock music... and were... proud of it?
I am an expert in anthroapologetics- the study of man the way the Bible intended. Most people these days are sciencing wrong. I have degrees in bibleology, humanology, ancientology, weatherology, and I dabble in rockology. I also have a PhD in 5th grade science, so I am better at sciencing than ANY 5th grader, and probably some higher graders- possibly a road grader. The flood happened! We have proof. Why would there be so many inland lakes and rivers, if they weren’t left over from the flood? Many of them are tens, maybe hundreds of miles from the ocean- the source of water. The Earth IS flat. If it weren’t, water would just either flow right off the planet, or it would collect at the bottom of the alleged globe, and Australia would be under water- without and Ark. It is just simple science, and fluid movementology. The Earth was OBVIOUSLY created in six days, with one day of rest. That is why our weeks have seven days! Use your heads people! Firmament is just fancy old timey terminology for clouds, wells, and big buckets- you know, stuff that holds water. It is easy stuff for those of us with scientificologic brains. The Bible has NO inaccuracies, just things YOU atheists don’t understand. God and miracles don’t have to fit into your narrow, poorly scienced minds- it is all outside of time, space, sound, color, and plausibility. Give it up. I don’t care how much you study atheistology, you will never gain the knowledge handed to you in the inerrant Bible.
Jeff Foxworthy, the host of "5th Grader", also hosted another game show in 2012 called "The American Bible Challenge". I never actually watched it myself, so I don't know if contestants were given questions like "According to the Bible, is the Earth round or flat?" (A. flat) or "According to the Bible, are bats birds or mammals?" (A. birds). Etc. Fun and educational for the whole family!
Thanks for that information about literacy rates. If there was a historical Jesus, it seems unlikely that he would have learned to read or write Hebrew, especially since his spoken language was Aramaic. And it may explain why Jesus was prone to ignore Old Testament principles when the mood struck him. Perhaps he didn't know scripture very well. whe
Literacy is weird, and we're having to rethink it nowadays. Most of our measurements of literacy of a given place and time are based on *a.* if there was a standard there (commonly Latin) and *b.* how many people could read that standard. So when Christian missions were coming to the new world to convert the natives, everyone here was illiterate because they didn't know Latin. Did they know their own? Did the Mayans or Azteks have their own written word? We're still tying to figure that out.
Not to be rude, but I went to school in Europe. All the questions seemed extremely easy. It seems the education level in this country is pretty low, with people in the corporate management field being the most ignorant of all. America is most successful at collecting money from everyone else, rather than contributing something valuable to society, and I don't think that's a sustainable model.
Not to be rude myself, but you totally missed the point of this video. There were no questions, just statements of fact that are common knowledge now but weren't known 2000 years ago. if you don't speak English as your first language that is perfectly understandable and you can go on thinking Europeans, have it all figured out.
@@dimbulb23 I know the point was that the bible writers would be amazed by a modern fifth grader. My comment was an aside observation. When I came here I had a great deal of awe and admiration for the richest country in the world, but working here and witnessing people drowning in ignorance tempered that enthusiasm. No, europeans don't have it all figured out. Nobody does, but systemic ignorance and anti-science aren't the path to discovery.
@@DoctorZisIN The million dollar questions that i have witnessed seem to be on par with questions from versions of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", but with the added difficulty, that one has to answer the question. I will go so far and agree, that in this show it seems to be much easier to get to this last question in the first place.
Acupuncture *DOES* work and it works as follows: 1) You end up with tendinitis in your elbow after laying 2,000 paver blocks to keep your wife happy. 2) You go to see the acupuncturist and say "My elbow hurts right there", while pointing to where your elbow hurts. 3) The acupuncturist makes you take most of your clothes off and lie down on a bench in a darkened room with dreamy music playing. 4) The acupuncturist then sneaks up on you, sticks a needle in your left eye, and then asks "does your elbow hurt now?" (Ask me how I know this to be true!)
I do have to pick up on the heliocentrism: we are all geocentrists to some extent, given that we say the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and it is a perfectly valid point of view. Indeed, the ancient Greeks were geocentrists, believing the Earth to be perfect and unmoving, and consequently spherical and the centre of the universe (they knew it was a compound curve, so perfect sphere, natch... and how lucky they were with that one). One acid test is the orrery; those clever Greeks had one on the antikythera mechanism and it was centred on our planet. You could, though, centre it anywhere you like, but the gearing gets more and more complex as you move away from a sun centred system, so comporting with physics does give you a minimally elegant solution. The epicyclic gears used by the Greeks to achieve the apparent retrograde motion of planets like Mars was a work of art and the product of genius, it is a shame there wasn't a Greek Occam 😄
@@UncleKennysPlace It still is reasonable, there is no favoured viewpoint in relativity so your frame of reference is a matter of choice, and whatever is convenient for you is as good as any other. Intellect has nothing to do with it.
@@UncleKennysPlace Geocentrism is a valid point of view. Its incorrect, but still valid, because the amount of technology and expertise required to prove heliocentrism is immense. The ancient greek scholars were certainly not of low intellect
@@TheOwlman It's not true that there are *no* favored reference frames in relativity. Even in relativity, you *can* detect the difference between rotating or not. If the Earth were not rotating, then Foucault's Pendulum wouldn't work. Likewise, 2 masses connected by a cable will tension the cable if they are spinning about each other, but won't if they are stationary.
@@jursamaj Are you invoking Sagnac here? There still isn't an absolute frame of reference for what we are discussing which is the validity of the geocentric and heliocentric points of view. It is just as naive to be heliocentric when the sun is orbiting the centre of the galaxy, which is also moving within our local group around some barycentre or other. The frame you choose is simply the most convenient for your current purpose, though you can be safe in the knowledge that a truly geocentric universe would require stars and galaxies to exeed the speed of light, so it is likely not correct. Foucault is however handy for discounting the ancient Greeks and their "stationary at the centre of the universe" and it also upsets flerfs, which is nice.
You don't graduate from elementary school, you culminate (because there are no credit or graduation requirements). Many students move on way before they are ready from elementary and middle school, which causes more problems when they get to high school and all of a sudden passing classes has much more serious consequences.
I like so much of what you say, Mr. Deity. I wonder if you might like and want to follow what I say. Click here for three videos, one which I just made, and another (part four ) should be appearing soon.

You are joking, right? I have seen people make those claim and they were serious.
Sorry about your father...
I know a guy that fits the description...
@Logical Musicman , heliocentrology: the study of things that utilize helium. I do love balloons.
@@InigoMontoya-
My larger hard drives use helium. They are cool.

Remember, they weren't dumb just horribly misinformed. Does that sound familiar?
Jeff Foxworthy, the host of "5th Grader", also hosted another game show in 2012 called "The American Bible Challenge". I never actually watched it myself, so I don't know if contestants were given questions like "According to the Bible, is the Earth round or flat?" (A. flat) or "According to the Bible, are bats birds or mammals?" (A. birds). Etc. Fun and educational for the whole family!
Thanks for that information about literacy rates. If there was a historical Jesus, it seems unlikely that he would have learned to read or write Hebrew, especially since his spoken language was Aramaic. And it may explain why Jesus was prone to ignore Old Testament principles when the mood struck him. Perhaps he didn't know scripture very well. whe
Jesus learned to read as he wrote the Bible. It was basically his diary.
Literacy is weird, and we're having to rethink it nowadays. Most of our measurements of literacy of a given place and time are based on *a.* if there was a standard there (commonly Latin) and *b.* how many people could read that standard. So when Christian missions were coming to the new world to convert the natives, everyone here was illiterate because they didn't know Latin. Did they know their own? Did the Mayans or Azteks have their own written word? We're still tying to figure that out.
Thought that said 5th gender lol
No.
Natural rejection, lol ;p
7 years? Those 5th graders must be near university
For mythical creatures... shouldn't we include 'well-informed MAGA people?"
Depends, does the information need to be true?, or does “well informed” just mean they have accumulated a lot, but it isn’t necessarily true?
@@InigoMontoya- Either or. Or both.
@@InigoMontoya- Actually... if they were well informed with the truth... they might not be MAGA people.

Not to be rude, but I went to school in Europe. All the questions seemed extremely easy. It seems the education level in this country is pretty low, with people in the corporate management field being the most ignorant of all. America is most successful at collecting money from everyone else, rather than contributing something valuable to society, and I don't think that's a sustainable model.
Not to be rude myself, but you totally missed the point of this video. There were no questions, just statements of fact that are common knowledge now but weren't known 2000 years ago. if you don't speak English as your first language that is perfectly understandable and you can go on thinking Europeans, have it all figured out.
@@dimbulb23 I know the point was that the bible writers would be amazed by a modern fifth grader. My comment was an aside observation. When I came here I had a great deal of awe and admiration for the richest country in the world, but working here and witnessing people drowning in ignorance tempered that enthusiasm. No, europeans don't have it all figured out. Nobody does, but systemic ignorance and anti-science aren't the path to discovery.
@@DoctorZisIN The million dollar questions that i have witnessed seem to be on par with questions from versions of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", but with the added difficulty, that one has to answer the question. I will go so far and agree, that in this show it seems to be much easier to get to this last question in the first place.
“Has any field of knowledge been so stagnant and so stale for so long?” Yes, acupuncture. And your insurance probably pays for it.
Acupuncture works; a balloon friend of mind was complaining of feeling bloated and gassy, acupuncture immediately cured him.
Acupuncture *DOES* work and it works as follows:
1) You end up with tendinitis in your elbow after laying 2,000 paver blocks to keep your wife happy.
2) You go to see the acupuncturist and say "My elbow hurts right there", while pointing to where your elbow hurts.
3) The acupuncturist makes you take most of your clothes off and lie down on a bench in a darkened room with dreamy music playing.
4) The acupuncturist then sneaks up on you, sticks a needle in your left eye, and then asks "does your elbow hurt now?"
(Ask me how I know this to be true!)
There are studies which show that acupuncture is great placebo, so in that sense it works.
@@InigoMontoya- Was he full of hot air? Or a blowhard?
Like you said, they were read the bible. #OddlyFormed
I was smarter than a 5th grader when I was a 5th grader, so I'm pretty sure I am now as well.
Fifth graders have had some remarkable upgrades, you may not perform as well as the newer models.
Ha, ha! God Burn!
4th!
Ill add later.
I do have to pick up on the heliocentrism: we are all geocentrists to some extent, given that we say the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and it is a perfectly valid point of view. Indeed, the ancient Greeks were geocentrists, believing the Earth to be perfect and unmoving, and consequently spherical and the centre of the universe (they knew it was a compound curve, so perfect sphere, natch... and how lucky they were with that one). One acid test is the orrery; those clever Greeks had one on the antikythera mechanism and it was centred on our planet. You could, though, centre it anywhere you like, but the gearing gets more and more complex as you move away from a sun centred system, so comporting with physics does give you a minimally elegant solution. The epicyclic gears used by the Greeks to achieve the apparent retrograde motion of planets like Mars was a work of art and the product of genius, it is a shame there wasn't a Greek Occam 😄
It was a reasonable POV to someone with average or below average intellect.
@@UncleKennysPlace It still is reasonable, there is no favoured viewpoint in relativity so your frame of reference is a matter of choice, and whatever is convenient for you is as good as any other. Intellect has nothing to do with it.
@@UncleKennysPlace Geocentrism is a valid point of view. Its incorrect, but still valid, because the amount of technology and expertise required to prove heliocentrism is immense.
The ancient greek scholars were certainly not of low intellect
@@TheOwlman It's not true that there are *no* favored reference frames in relativity. Even in relativity, you *can* detect the difference between rotating or not. If the Earth were not rotating, then Foucault's Pendulum wouldn't work. Likewise, 2 masses connected by a cable will tension the cable if they are spinning about each other, but won't if they are stationary.
@@jursamaj Are you invoking Sagnac here? There still isn't an absolute frame of reference for what we are discussing which is the validity of the geocentric and heliocentric points of view. It is just as naive to be heliocentric when the sun is orbiting the centre of the galaxy, which is also moving within our local group around some barycentre or other. The frame you choose is simply the most convenient for your current purpose, though you can be safe in the knowledge that a truly geocentric universe would require stars and galaxies to exeed the speed of light, so it is likely not correct. Foucault is however handy for discounting the ancient Greeks and their "stationary at the centre of the universe" and it also upsets flerfs, which is nice.
You don't graduate from elementary school, you culminate (because there are no credit or graduation requirements). Many students move on way before they are ready from elementary and middle school, which causes more problems when they get to high school and all of a sudden passing classes has much more serious consequences.
I like so much of what you say, Mr. Deity. I wonder if you might like and want to follow what I say. Click here for three videos, one which I just made, and another (part four ) should be appearing soon.
🎉😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks!
Thanks so much, Jim! Blessings, thoughts, and prayers are headed your way.
@@misterdeity And to whom are those 'prayers' directed? From what or whom do those 'blessings' flow? Thanks for the thoughts, lol.
Thanks!
Another really good video, and it scares me to see how bad the knowledge that the people you are talking about try to pass on as fact. Thanks for the good job you are doing!
