Paul, I wish you'd also put links to previous videos in your description, as some of us stream YT videos on our TV from our phones, and can't "click on the link onscreen here" to find them. It just doesn't work for us. Thanks, please.
Was checking out the Merch and just wanted to toss out a modest suggestion of maybe adding "...looking at the claims of Christians" to your "Former Christian" shirts. Might boost its conversation starter ability that it already has. Keep up the great work!
@@LapsedSkeptic I recommend good Atheist-Channel

Aron is like the angry Dad giving them a stern talking to, Paulogia is the Mom who's "Not angry, just disappointed."
Why can't he be the disappointed dad too?
I'd Ship them...🥰
@@bodricthered Aron is decidedly less friendly. Both approaches have merit so it is nice to have both. Paul is more likely to convince others formerly like him I imagine. Aron is more cathartic to the reasonable.
@@bodricthered Because you can argue with dad all day - but nobody wants to disappoint mom.
@@zippydebrain Aron is bit older and more fed up with the unending stream of lies and bullshit from Christian apologists.
Plus, Paul is Canadian, so...
Love how his example of "Koala's ONLY eat eucalyptus..." completely shreds that they could have survived on the ark, or even traveled to and from the ark as there was not eucalyptus on the journey. That fact seemed to slipped over his head.
That's only because the bibble-scribble missed a line that said "... and you shall buy large plant-pots from IKEA and fill them with living eucalyptus trees." A chatty burning bush told me about this critical missing line.
That's the nice thing about being a christian: selective acceptance of reality.
but magic though... sorry, miracles, must not call it magic to prevent xian nicker twisting.
@@stinkypanda9628 I'm going to assume that this is sarcasm, but for the creationists that will lap it up anyway:
1. Where _was_ the Garden of Eden? And how do you know it had Eucalyptus trees?
2. If the Middle Eastern Eucalyptus died in the flood, why didn't the ones in Australia?
3. Seems like poor planning on the part of Ham, Shem and Japeth to cut down the only source of nourishment for the Koalas.
4. You weren't there, either.
Once you accept magic, nothing is improbable or impossible.

@@WilbertLek What do you "think" touche means?
@@zamiel3 google translate says "touch."
I love how he gives koalas as an example, when they do not even have a mechanism to breakdown eucalyptus genetically encoded. They actually have to eat their mother feces soon after being born to introduce the proper microbiome for breaking down eucalyptus. God designing a species that can only eat eucalyptus and yet need to eat their mothers feces in order to eat the eucalyptus is anything but intelligent design.
Mysterious ways, you see.
Also, since he's so intent on a literal interpretation of Genesis, how did the koalas swim to Australia with nothing to eat on the way?
IIRC, koalas are also riddled w/ Chlamydia. Those fornicating bastards!
The Bible is big on eating feces. There is a passage that appears in two books of the Bible about eating feces and drinking urine
Ewwww! Gross!
Any creationist "researcher" that uses the Darwin eye quote to refute evolution, is a liar. They had to purposely ignore the rest of the chapter to make their argument.
Either a lier or incredibly ignorant
The first one in a chain to do so is plainly a liar, but I think then that a lot of second-tier types simply repeat anything fed to them without bothering to analyse. So, as Lisa says, either lying or gullible.
@@simongiles9749 Not surprising given that's the same thing they do with their religious material. Despite selling every person an "original document" they still only read some parts out of context.
What I find particullarily perplexing when confronted with this argument is that if I found a quote of the basically founding figure of the opposite claim that presents them as sceptical/unbelieving of their own claim, I would instantly evaluate 2 possibilities:
1) For some godforsaken reason this person does not believe their own claim and
2) I have massively missunderstood or misinterpreted something
And would then immediately go with option 2) ...

*"You don't need to believe in evolution - but you should try to understand what you don't believe in."* is my quote of the video and the main point of the conflict.
Actually I found this quote incredibly jarring, and it's what brought me to the comments. Paul has talked about in previous videos how it is not incumbent on the non-believer to go through every apologist argument and comb through the entire bible before making up their mind on whether or not that person accepts Christianity. I know a lot more about Christianity than any other religion, but I'm not going out of my way to go through each religion's full set us tenants before deciding that I don't believe in them.
@@BenLeinweber I guess the argument here is make sure you're not rejecting something based on a misrepresentation of it
@@sniperwolf50
That's it. And evolution is a scientific fact - if you want to impose christian views in textbooks and accuse 97% of the scientists in relevant fields to be liars, a part of a conspiracy even you should know damn well what you are talking about.
I'm an atheist - yet I don't claim the bible to be an orchastrated effort in lying to "obstruct the universal truth of science" or something. But according to you it would be a legitimate position to hold for an atheist when you grant the apologists such a "right of ignorance".
But I couldn't take an atheist seriously who tries to attack religion in this way.
@@BenLeinweber
PS:
"I don't go through each religion's full set of tenants before deceiding I don't believe in them."
That's the point: it isn't a matter of belief.
The theory of evolution was developed using the same method that gave us gravitational theory, or particle physics.
Some of their implications are way less well understood as evolution, yet I don't hear christians reject the theory of gravity or the theory behind their computers.
When did you decide to believe in gravity and electrons?
And the opposite is true too. Of youre gonna claim your religion is true, then at the least you should learn / read the dogma first- ie that which is claimed to be true.
I have to say, the glomp dog analogy was one of the best explanations for how natural selection works that I've ever seen.
Yes , and realizing it would take a very long time for this to happen. Something Pack does not discuss.
I’ll say it louder for the creationists in the back… “DEMONSTRATING EVOLUTION FALSE DOESN’T AUTOMATICALLY DEMONSTRATE THE ASSERTION OF SUPERNATURAL CREATION TRUE.” Even if you could disprove evolution, which you haven’t, you still have to provide evidence in support of the truth of creation. Quote mining is not evidence.
I get strong flat earther vibes. They spend all their time trying to point out the (misunderstood) "flaws" in the globe model without ever attempting to actually provide a coherent alternative, not realising that even if they could prove the earth was not an oblate spheroid it still wouldn't prove that it was disc shaped.
Probably not surprising considering a Venn diagram of the flat earth and religious communities would look like a circle with a bullseye.
"mining is ... evidence" Yes... it is. See?!

the Bible does not teach flat earth
why would Jesus use polar coordinates?
28:48 isn't it kind of weird how Pack explicitly admits being dishonest here? I thought apologists were supposed to pretend they were honest... but he flat out states that _honest_ theologians would _never_ deny science, right after having done nothing but deny science his entire series.
Yeah but he reserves the right to decide what science is "real" science.
"Why is there a total absence of transitional forms fossilized?"
He says, about the most developed fossil record we've discovered...
Always reminds me of the interview Dawkins had with (creationist) Wendy Wright...
🤣🤣🤣
He knows his creationist followers will not question or fact check anything he says. His only purpose is to reinforce their belief.
And the grift continues…how Paul can patiently sit through these is beyond me.

Oh, I have little doubt he screams and breaks things and maybe takes a shot or two to calm down before audio taping his segments 😁

@@EdwardHowton for a few seconds I thought you were talking about me, but then remembered the name of the goofy half asleep crypt keeper creationist Paulogia was critiquing ... 😂
The roof of my house is utterly dependent on the walls of my house, which are utterly dependent on the foundations. My house also needed a road to connect it to other places, water mains, electricity and telecommunication lines.
If there were no houses around, nobody would have built the roads that now connect them, nor bothered to put the cables there, and my roof would never have been able to be elevated to it's present position.
The only possible conclusion is that one incredibly powerful builder stopped by and constructed all those things at once, in order to give rise to my roof, which is quite a beautiful sight!
Nice sarcasm
“They eye is spectacularly complex.” Yes, that’s kinda the problem. The retina is backwards, with the blood vessels in front of the light sensitive cells, the point where the retina attaches to the optic nerve puts a giant blind spot in the middle of the field of view, it’s filled with fluid, a requirement for eyes evolved for seeing underwater, and so many more, our eyes are a crap show of ad hoc solutions tacked onto ad hoc solutions beaten out by a chickens eye.

@@slevinchannel7589 Paulogia absolutely does collaborations ^_^
The optic nerve is only a problem because the damned nerves connect on the INSIDE of the eye, essentially in-side-out from what I understand. If they were connected from the outside it would be far less of a problem, and wouldn't be connected where it affected important vision (like the middle of the damned field of view) Any designer would be fired for that kind of nonsense...just one of many problems that would make any conscious creator incompetent. Even Guided Evolution would expect these problematic evolved designs to suddenly get fixed out of nowhere all of a sudden with no explanation...never happens.

I am disappointed that our eyes cannot allow us to see from the ultra-microscopic to astronomical scales without the use of external instruments. I would like also to extend the range of em frequencies that we can perceive.
I wonder if tech within our lifetimes will enable seeing far better
@@ThylineTheGay it does, with microscopes and telescopes, but they are external devices.
@@ThylineTheGay I've got plastic lenses in my eyes and they certainly work better than the ones God gave me.
@@ThylineTheGay It already does. It's called glasses.
Your disappointment aligns with reality. Photons are the same basic stuff, but the way they interact with matter depends on their wavelength. You need different kinds of matter to intercept widely differing wavelengths. Radio telescopes and xray telescopes are quite different.
However we could see ultraviolet except our natural lenses block it leading to occlusions. The retina is sensitive to those wavelengths.
I looked up this "Douglas B. Sharp" person, and he's apparently just the host of a creationist talk show. He has no scientific qualifications whatsoever.
Yes, I noticed _most_ of his “sources”, with a few notable exceptions, are creationists. And he presents them as of they’re credible scientists.
Many Proofs? That's not enough - I'm going to need to see some evidences before I can truly decide.
proof without evidence. an interesting concept.
“…some evidences…“ I see what you did there!
There are many evidences, but atheists refuse to believe these evidences so I’m just gonna keep them to myself and recommend faith only. /sarcasm
@@MsLemon42 there are no evidences. period.
@@MsLemon42 of course you will. your evidences are only evidences to those with faith. “believing in what you know ain’t so”
Creationist logic (or anti logic): "look at everything that exists! There's no way things could ever have been different.

Scientists try to find the explanations to what they don't understand. Creationists claim we don't need to know. One is currently using the fruits of the labor of the other.

This intelligent design theory always reminds me of the 100 failures of lightbulb design- he said he never failed but actually discovered 99 things that don’t work and 1 that does work- so we now use the one that works
Actually, we used a different thing that works (tungsten), which Edison's boys missed. Except now we don't even use that anymore, mostly.
How did Noah get the Australian native Eucalyptus plant to feed Koalas on the Ark?
Gawwwwwwd
God created Australia *after* the flood.
(But that book never made it into the bible)
Australia was not separated from the rest of the world 6.000 years ago.
Because god, dontcha' know
The flood washed all the Eucalyptus trees from all the lands but Australia. Duh! :P
Even if we were to accept that all his arguments prove the existence of god, none of them show that his particular choice of god is the correct one
"Honest theologians, would never deny science."
From the mans own mouth, and in appropriate context.
An honest theologian, an educated antivaxxer, and a sane flat-Earther walk into a bar. After recovering from their concussions, they enter a drinking establishment, and the bartender says "Hey, your money's no good here, it's as imaginary as all of you and I can't pay my bills with a hypothetical set-up for a joke!"
To be fair, the koalas dependence on eucalyptus is also why it’s endangered. Little nutrition means less energy, means less chance to escape predators.
I wonder how the koalas evolution line looks
I am sure this has been said already, but he claims how amazing the human eye is, yet he requires glasses.
David asks a lot of interesting questions. If only he didn't think the questions were the answers, then he might get somewhere. Assuming he actually wants to go, of course.
Yes. Interesting...
"That's an interesting picture you're drawing there. Is it a chariot? Or perhaps a plague-ravaged corpse?"
_It's a dog, mom!_
"How very.... interesting..... dear."
@@EdwardHowton Ha! No, I mean it sincerely. These same questions asked with genuine curiosity could foster a productive conversation. But "productive conversation" doesn't strike me as being too high on David's list of priorities.
@@Oswlek Hm. I have a nickname for his particular brand of "questions". I call them askusations. Accusations in the form of a question. The prototypic example is that tired favorite of creationists: "if we come from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?"
It might seem like an actual question, but the idiots have already dropped the microphone, kicked over the chess board, and flown back to their twit-twit pigeon friends to shit in victory.
Jon Stewart called it the Cavuto, after Fox "News"'s Neil Cavuto, who would put dumb questions on his chiron and mark them with the "Cavuto mark". Looks like a ? but is more fitting next to (using Stewart's example:) "Is your mother a whore? I'm not _saying_ she's a whore, I'm just saying that people who have banged your mother for money can disagree!".
Hence "interesting". They might be interesting questions coming from a human being, but they're just catchphrases for con artists and nutjobs like Pack.
@@Oswlek Oh, that reminds me. You'd probably like the series "How Creationism Taught Me Real Science". Same basic premise as what you said. Dumb idiots say dumb idiot things, leading to smart people actually learning why dumb idiots are dumb idiots who are wrong.
It's quite good. Quite a significant number of dumb idiots get offended by the title, too, upset that they've been "tricked". So hey, bonus.
3:55 HDR does not use multiple lenses, it just uses three different light sensitivity settings in a short timespan and combines the pictures. It works just fine on my iPhone 6s, which only has one lens.
I keep hearing this guy's name as David "CPAC", which I imagine would be his kind of thing.
Just me or does anybody else find it incredibly frustrating that David C Pack and others of a similar mind set seem so keen to use science to debunk the theory of evolution whilst simultaneously believing in a version of events, creation, that defies any scientific explanation.
Know Forrest Valkai and his opinion on the matter?

And it's wired backwards
I loved Aaron Ra's commentary on this series.

Poop eating baby koala bears is one hell of an analogy for childhood religious indoctrination.
Like fortune cookies and finishing the fortune with "in bed", I have decided that everytime someone says God exists, or makes other God claim(s), I will finish their sentence with " in my pants" .
1) Omnipresence, so technically "true" (if one accepts the god claim)
2) Suspiciously concerned with people private parts and where they go, so not as far fetched as might be seen on first reaction.

David C. Pack's main problem is that he seems to believe all proposed evolution happens step-wise in turn. Like yeah, hummingbirds have many adaptions in physiology, behavior and ecological niche. And evolving these properties one at a time, from absent to 100% complete, in turn, is indeed impossible. There wasn't just one generation that suddenly had an insanely fast heartbeat. The adaptations progressed slowly, together, towards the current state.
These creationists are truly bizarre people. It's just mind blowing how people can just make stuff up, dig their heels in, refuse to learn and then demand everyone else believe their made up backwards ideas. It's just scary.
It's best to learn one's biology from theologians, they have an amazing track record in the sciences.
Creationism, like evolutionary theory, offers a model for how living entities change over time. But unlike evolutionary theory, creationism is not science, so the scientific community is very unlikely to embrace it. Its roots are in Genisis, not in the scientific method. It starts with a conclusion and then attempts to amass observations to support it, discarding any that do not.
"Creationism, like evolutionary theory, offers a model for how living entities change over time"
Goddidit is not a "model" that says anything about "how" something happens. "It's magic" is not an explanation for anything.
Models explain things and allow you to make predictions. "A magic man poofed it with magic" is not an explanation, and allows no predictions. It then tries to explain away the lack of predictions with vapid handwaving about how God can do what he wants.
So no, creationism doesn't offer a model. It doesn't even pretend to. It offers comfortable nonsense dressed up in language that would make a cut-rate medication commercial actor in an ill-fitting labcoat blush in embarrassment.
Very packed with fun cultural references. I, for one, appreciate the direction you've been going as your channel continues to... change over time @Paulogia
Oh yeah this is the guy that has his cult in my state of Ohio. And AronRa tore him a new one.
The Koala argument makes no sense when you think about that this guy also argues for a world flood that doesn't take into account the koalas and their special eating habit in the first place.
The problem Creationists have is they see everything as it is right now and think it's always been this way. But everything is constantly changing and there isn't a final destination meaning we will never stop evolving just like every other living thing.
So how has the human body evolved over the last 300 years?
The "we will never stop evolving" (as in we humans) might actually be debatable, at least too some degree: Post-industrial civilisations lead to most people managing to reproduce and in similar amounts. So the strength and amount of evolutionary pressures has already lessened (one big remaining trait conductive to wider spread of genetic material might be the inclination to have more kids even under post-scarcity conditions, with birth rates often below 2 that could lead to an evolutionary adavantage; so not totally gone). Other traits might also be effective (better imune system if more pandemics hit? But most of the extreme cases were older people aka those that already had kids, so reduced evolutionary impact).
And if the point of "designed babies" is reached one day, we would totally break the chains of "natural"/biological evolution.
I of course grant that it is basically impossible to escape selection in some shape or form. As long as one has variation, it will stay effective in one way or another (on the societal level (which structure of society is more effective at propagating itself), on the species level (are we able to become space faring and pass possible great filters?), etc.).

I really like _how_ you push back against arguments from complexity: just because *you* don't know how a computer works *doesn't* mean computers don't work.
Nobody can see what a procesor does without a display of sorts. A monitor can't display anything without a grafics card. A grafics card has nothing to process without a processor sending input.
Because all these parts are dependent on each other and basically useless on their own, the only explanation for the existence of computers is that they were designed and created by God and they can never change because they are already perfect.

The actual artile cited written by Menton is called "Can Evolution Produce an Eye? Not a Chance!" on Answers in Genesis. It's supercomputer claims are almost 40 years outdated and it's frustrating to see the lack of recent citations in this series.
I always find creationists anti-evolution arguments rather silly, since we can actually simulate evolution in a computer with far fewer variables than the natural world, and indeed complexity does in fact arise over thousands to millions of generations. How much more complexity could arise with all the variables of the natural world?
We actually do use the concept of evolution in the design of some AIs. Darwinian selection if I remember correctly

If you live in texas go vote. There is a bill to prevent governemnt from prohibition of religion. In other words it will make it illegal for police to break up religious protests or religious gatherings In public or government run areas. And prevent the government from stopping church services in a pandemic etc
Yeah, go vote for the law that would prevent the evil government from protecting you when some grifter is insisting that you risk your life so he can get your money. Of course that law, if passed, would be unconstitutional since the Supreme Court has already ruled on this. No one was "stopping church services". The church was simply required to hold those services in a manner that did not expose the congregation to a deadly disease. Of course not having the congregation in close contact meant that the grif um pastor could not guilt them into shelling out the bucks, and how is he supposed to afford the gas for his private jet or his "mission" to the Bahamas this winter. There is a reason the church calls you the "flock".

19:17 I’m pretty sure the “while traveling” bit is meant to be analogous to how whales and their transitional ancestors all were functional animals with successful population. At no point did the ancestors take a “pit stop” of being sustained artificially to be transformed in some profound way. Not sure if it makes sense as an analogy, but I think that’s what he means
That makes sense.
Humans have small, weak teeth and canines that don't interlock. This is an asset in our species because it allows us precise control to make a variety of sounds. However the small teeth predate language. Our ancestor species also needed fire to soften food so they could eat enough to survive. Simply saying 'random random random therefore step 3 and wealth' is not very convincing. Perhaps a developed statistical argument or finding some heretofore unknown mechanism that links them.

As someone who prefers polytheism, I like to imagine that Australia was where Epimetheus secretly put his less consumer-oriented work. The "art" he made for himself, without worrying about how the other gods/mortals might react to his ideas. I'm not entirely sure what that says about him, though.
"God" is a word, a symbol for which there is no corresponding experiential reality.
You do know experimental science starts with the postulate of no gods? If it were to prove a god, it would be logically inconsistent.
@@beannathrach2417 No, not with the postulate of no gods but with no postulate of any gods. Big difference.
@@0nlyThis Wrong. The postulate is the universe is mechanical. That means no gods or any other agents with free will. Without this postulate it becomes pointless to try to explain the universe.
I realize you pretend you are superior because you have TRUTH while they have mere BELIEFS. You're delusional. Try some serious introspection and honesty to avoid such simple logic errors.
@@beannathrach2417 Whatever.

I'm not sure of the context of your claim regarding postulates, do you care to unpack why you think science makes an apriori claim regarding the existence of "gods"?
"This thing doesn't work, so how could it have evolved" and missed the "how could a perfect being design something so stupid as male angler fish feeding system?"
I would love to see David react to this video...probably pretty short. Something like "No, I can't understand that so I'm right."
Favorite quote: "Any overview of birds reveals remarkable facts."
Great thoughtful video Paul - thank you.
Congratulations, Packman, on being so skilled in picking quotes and using them totally inappropriately and out of context.
Seeing the nose move to the back of a dolphin is one of the coolest set of fossils.
By the way “This Way” and “That Way” do in fact intersect in Houston Texas and also in Lake Jackson Texas. They have other nearby cutsey names like "Any Way", "The Other Way", "My Way", etc.
Ahh, that is why I can't see God! He is hiding in the flaw of my retina known as the blind spot. What a fantastic design flaw for a shy god, now if only all the theist would also stay in my blind spot my life would be so much better.
That’s perfect design! Now we cannot test the lord our god since he is so adept at hiding in our blind spot. Even better than shadow people
This is all just the same ole' crap meant to re-affirm to believers what they already want to be true and to whom facts mean very little due to being conditioned to accept anything they are told to support their belief and being forbidden from listening to or seeking information that does not come from other believers.
I know it's not nice to laugh, but I can't help it when I watch Mr Pack. His earnestness, incredulity and theatrical gestures set my belly jiggling.
Those exact funny traits of his are what make him so dangerous. He's _clearly_ a True(tm) Believer(tm). I wouldn't be shocked if I heard he was stockpiling weapons at his cult compound. I wouldn't be surprised if he's already got some. Because yeah, he already has his cult compound.
Loving the video cut scenes at the beginning! Of course your content is spot on as well!
Aron Ra destroyed this guy and your doing the same thing as Aron this lying christian doesn't get tired of being embarrassed and destroyed... Sorry David but grow up
This creationist continues to demonstrate that the only "proofs" for any Gods existence are misinformation, logical fallacies, and outright lies.
And god created opticians and glasses, simultaneously with deteriorating eyesight too; Just like He did toothaches and dentists, cancers and oncologists, or freight and freight trains, for that matter. (as well as random thoughts and you-tube comment sections)
There's a line of thought, medieval Judaism I think, that the creation was made intentionally incomplete with humans invited to complete creation with their god. Our eyes are imperfect, but we can augment them in ways they could not evolve. Beware of arguments from personal incredulity: your knowledge is limited, and things you don't know might answer your questions. Look for better answers.
@@beannathrach2417 I didn't ask any questions.
ps (edit): and _"god did it"_ has never been an answer (it doesn't explain anything), let alone _'a better'_ one.
@@BorisNoiseChannel Lisa forbid we should ever listen to Jews or anyone else for insights to ponder.
@@beannathrach2417 There's nothing wrong with listening and pondering. There _is_ something wrong with believing stuff _on faith,_ though. Be it Jews or Catholics or Mormons or whoever.
22:59 he's so pissed off it's hilarious 🤣
The bus to submarine analogy is actually very easy to overcome.
We have developed many vehicles that can drive and act as boats, including a range of ATVs, cars, armored personnel carriers, even tanks.
Most of the time the concept started out with making the vehicle capable of fording low water areas first, shifting the location of the intake for the vehicle so the engine continues to run. Then sealing various compartments. Then eventually creating a fully-sealled hull structure of some kind. Then we add some sort of propeller for thrust instead of relying on the tracks or wheels. Next thing you know, you've got a tank-boat.
Of course the tanks, cars, etc., still "live" primarily on land, and we already have boats that fill that niche better than tanks and cars ever will. Therefor their "evolution" has halted, because they already fill their niche of being extremely capable on land, and able to deal with deep water for shorter periods without as much skill as their aquatic brethren. Any further "boat" adaptations now make them less capable on land, which would lead to their extinction. And in fact, they may still go extinct, particularly in military application, as hovercraft, helicopters, and other ship-to-shore connectors become more capable.
Paul, I do not know how you can do your job. I love your show and you have my deep respect, but I am so very frustrated by hearing the same stupid arguments from Apologists. Their misrepresentation of "The Big Bang". Their obsession with "Complexity" and "Darwinian" Evolution. Look at the Trees. Why are there still Monkeys? Something From Nothing. "Proofs" of god. Abuse of the word "Evidences". Quote Mining. Every Painting has a Painter. Tornado in a Scrapyard. Irreducible Complexity. Vehicles don't Evolve. Writing in the sand. Were you there? Gish Gallops. The human eye. Profound Christian Claims without any substantiative evidence. Complete & utter lies. A diatribe of stupidity, nonsense and rot from Christians. How can you stand it? Please do not stop working hard. You are my hero.
He didn’t do any research about evolution yet he still saying its wrong
Same with you, a simple google search tell you why
@@thegameranch5935 Thank you for your response. I have read your message several time and, frankly I can not understand what you are trying to say. Would you be so kind as to try again? Who is "He"? What do you mean by "research" and who is the second "he"... actually, I give up. I am trying to help you. I just can not fathom what you are trying to say. Good luck with your next attempt. Cheers
@@tomsenior7405 the man who made this video
And the research is looking at recent scientific studies about the subject and learn how evolution works
@@thegameranch5935 Thank you for the addendum. I still am uncertain as to what you mean. Actually, I think you are having a Bubble. Are you having a Bubble Mate?
@@tomsenior7405 are you trolling or something?
The biggest problem is that there is no evidence that we are important to anything in the long run.
David is a perfect example of the adage that "you have to lie to be an apologist"
Creationists seem to think evolution happens REALLY fast. Dear Creationists, Evolution is a marathon, not a sprint!
1:03 "The human eye [...] an inspiring testimony to god's supreme intelligence"
That's why he needs those glasses 🤣
This is Kent Hovind's tired argument which he isn't smart enough to realize would also disprove shoelaces, coffee pots, and birthday cakes.
They keep going right to the eye. Yet that argument has been convincingly refuted many, many, many times. Why don't they ever change things up?
I like how your editing self corrects the audio instead of just putting text on the screen. It's good for the aurally impaired 🙂
I could really go for a glompdog right now. XD
The last time I was this early I was in Jr. High School.
Paul.....The time and effort you spend on researching, then dismantling the false claims of Christian apologists is truly commendable. You are a beacon of light in the dark, spurious world of religious fanaticism.
"we can't design it so it can't come around by accident"
Penicillin: [came about by accident]
These are the type of videos that Paul really excels in I like to see more.
Always cracks me up when someone wearing glasses talks about the perfection of the eye.
The Darwin eye quote is so obviously out of context if you just have basic reading comprehension. The key word for comprehension in that sentence is "seems."
I stumbled upon the "World to Come" stuff back in the 80's on one of their late, late, Sat. night programs or early Sun. morning gigs when there wasn't much else on any of the "Big Three" broadcast networks. It actually was pretty entertaining. Even though they have always been of end times philosophy, David does seem almost hysterical now. With increasing apathy towards religion and availability of educational materials, I personally think the Judeo/Christian philosophy has seen it's better days. I have no idea if statistics would bare me out, it's strictly intuitive. Many christians are standing like the old parlor game of whether you blindly trust the person behind to catch you if you fall backwards. Videos like these continue to help people know that it's OK to let go (or fall back) without fear of a hard landing. Kudos to you Paul!
