How Anthropology Disproves Noah's Flood

- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- In each of the videos of this series, I have either had professional scientists working with me, or I've based the work on scientific papers. This time I've based it on a documentary series by anthropologist, Alice Roberts. She wasn't trying to refute the flood and creationism, she was only promoting and pursuing science. But as a result of this series, she has been an activist against religious extremist science denial.

I was a creationist fundamentalist Christian until a few years ago, and it was only through the internet that I learned better. I'm turning 60 this year and am so grateful for sites like yours for changing my mind. I am an Atheist now and proud of it! Keep up the great work you're doing. People can, and do, change their minds when faced with factual information that they might never have been exposed to otherwise.

Grandma Mo Says: Proud of you for being able to learn and adapt! Welcome to reality.
The internet is great for information. It s where religions come to die.
To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. King James Bible Pslams 14:1
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
"Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good."
Psalm 53:1 So Hello Fool! You are younger than I by a few years and I dare say we BOTH will see the truth of God's Word soon enough! If I am right, even though I have lived a wicked life before I was redeemed,then I will come into be reward BUT if YOU are wrong and now despise God and His free gift of His ONLY Son to have died for your WICKED sinful life,then you will be judged to a devil's HELL I guess. Since I am not your judge but God will be your judge,then I cannot know 100% if you will be destroyed in hell with Satan ad his fellow fallen angels,but I would say you are in a good position to be destroyed to the uttermost!

You know what is sad? There used to be a time when theists and creationists would flock to videos like this to discredit them (as if they could). But now, they have mostly retreated to their "safe spaces" knowing they cannot peddle their crap here, and when they try, they will be embarrassed.
That depends on the channel. TMM has some awesome ongoing battles with various christians in his videos and comments. Always good for entertainment and sometimes you even stumble upon new points that you haven't heard before.
I'll have to check out more of his recent stuff. But then, good as his vids are, they aren't generally long enough to totally emasculate the creationist position by themselves - perhaps that's what gives them hope that they could prevail in his comments :-)
You quite sure?
Look up Subboor Ahmed's channel "Darwinian Delusions". He's a British Muslim creationist who had the balls to challenge AronRa to a debate, where he had his ass handed to him, and continues to go around London preaching his bullshit, and making videos that do likewise.

Since I went to a Christian school as a child, I never learned about any of this. Now, I'm 36 years old, and just now learning about human evolution. Once I began studying real science, and not science with a Christian spin on it, religion stopped making sense to me.
Yup thats usually how it goes. Literally anyone who takes a second and looks at the facts will realize this,, its just a matter of stubborness then.
This is a really bizarre concept to me. I went to a Catholic school for 9 years and exactly because I was taught proper science is why I never believed anything that was taught in religion class. I got a better education than probably 90% of people I'd estimate. I went on to be accepted to one of the top 10 academic high schools in America. I guess it depends on which denomination you were raised with?
@@American-Plague Catholics hold some crazy beliefs but have a ruling group who've realised they cannot compete with the reality that science uncovers. So they hold to insanity such as contraception being evil but accept all of the science that makes a mockery of the stories in their big book of myths.
I went to a Christian school from the 6th to 12th and it was just some mixed up information all based on the Bible as a foundation. Growing up and learning real information I understood it was merely indoctrination. They are still ignorant to any real science or evolution and will likely never change.

There seems to be a deep - almost irrational - need to prove that humans did not come from Africa.

It's called RACISM.
It is a mental illness...
well I think its not necessarily a racist view. I think its more because africa as an origin disagrees with the bible and the location of the garden of eden.
I really hate that. "This new discovery overturns physics." "That new thing overturns the way scientists think about geology." or whatever it is. Everything's always being "overturned" even though nothing ever really is.
"Journalists don't understand paleoanthropology and sensationalism is what sells the news"-- correct!
but god has magic so he just made all this look like its old to test your faith, and the moon is made of cheese.
The killing joke mmmmmmmm moon cheese.
God, working so hard to make himself unbelievable, gets mad when we disbelieve.
Don't talk such shit! God doesn't have magic, but we all know the moon IS made of cheese. Wallace and gromit proved that. 😉
Doesn't the bible say, that god does not lie?
No joke was debating someone and I asked why humans share genetic information with chimps and they said "to test your faith"

Either way as far as the oldest date for The Flood. I know of some Young Earth Creationists who believe Earth and most of The Universe is as much as 30,000, even 40,000 or of years old. If Noa's flood for them would be scaled similar to the 6,000 year timeline then countless YECs should probably and do in fact believe The Flood happened 12,000, 20,000, or 35,000 years ago.
something cataclysmic happened in 10,500 BCE (yougas dryas)
Robert W Do you mean the Younger Dryas, that ended about 11,500 years BP? If so, it was NOT a "cataclysmic" event. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas
I've seen a lot of your posts, and your head seems to be filled with a LOT of misinformation.
midas, those are BIG grains of sand.
I am honestly saddened that you have to waste precious time disproving something as ridiculous as the biblical flood
The Serpent of Eden (not Satan, remember), makes a great point for doing this in his representation at the Ark Encounter.

It's not time wasted. He's actively fighting off religious belief and propaganda. And he's also disseminating great arguments to skeptics who can use them against creationist arguments in their personal lives. Religion still exists, it's not extinct yet. Any time spent discrediting it is a benefit for humanity.
I actually find these videos fascinating. Of course I know going in that the Noah's Ark story isn't true, but it's cool to see the science behind disproving it. In the same way, I know the earth is round; but it's cool to learn how people proved this before we could just go to space and look at the thing lol.
It's sad that humans spent thousands of precious years centered on religious dogma
I find these videos really comforting. My parents became EXTREMELY religious just before my preteens and threw me into a christian school that believes in a young earth and believes that at least parts of the bible are historically accurate. I haven't believed or taken seriously any of the Abrahamic religions in ages but it is awesome seeing someone tear these stories apart. Sadly my immediate family firmly believes this crap. Yes i have been to the creation museum and even then i thought it was very strange and eerie.
Evolution is very much analogous to aging. At the age of 13, you’re considered a teenager but you’re not going to look, feel or think any differently than the day before your birthday, you’re not abruptly going to experience a boost in height, grow more body hair or have your voice deepening, it’s a gradual shift. When you reach an age where (in your society) you’re considered a legal adult, you’re not magically going to shift from a hormonal, emotionally volatile teen into an enlightened and responsible adult in 24 hours. And once you’re past 18, your physical development will be even slower, you’re not going to abruptly shift from being in your prime to being a middle-aged guy with graying hair and whose physical skills start to fail him, nor will you abruptly shift from a middle-aged guy into a decrepit old senior overnight. Again, it’s a gradual shift, and you’ll only notice the difference if you compare pictures or video footage of yourself that’s 5-10 years old compared to your current self.
I really hate this sensationalism in the media about new scientific finds. Another good example would be "news" about the scientific paper about T. rex scale-impressions that did absolutely nothing to disprove the existence of feathers on Tyrannosaurus, but was blown out of proportion to feed people's nostalgia about dinosaurs.
Disappointed Turtle
Omfg, tell me about it. Dino normies piss me off. I remember one article was titled "Just When You Were Getting Used to the Idea of Killer Birds, Nope, Still Lizards". As if feathers were the only bird-like thing Tyrannosaurus had going for it.
TyrannosaurusLives I remember seeing a title saying something like "We can all go back to lizards now" which was so, so stupid
Disappointed Turtle
I hate anti-feathers.
TyrannosaurusLives Me too, but you should be aware that most of them are most likely young children interested in dinosaurs, so you should not talk harshly with them.

I love how you're able to make a big pile of information so comprehensible and digestible. Truly a great teacher! Some of the information I've not even heard before. Love your channel, keep up the great work, respect!
Noah was a wise old man who lived long ago near the shore in a valley that was prone to floods. He owned some land, some animals and a barge. One day there was a large storm so Noah put all his animals on his barge and went out to sea to escape the coming flood. When it was over a reporter saw the barge with Noah and all the animals and wrote a story about it and every year the story got bigger and bigger until it finally made it into the Bible. True story.
The story of Gilgamesh and the Flood is much older. Many cultures had flood stories much earlier.
This series of videos is absolutely outstanding. I can only imagine the amount of work you put into this. Thank you very, very much.
No kidding, these videos were no small undertaking.
As someone who has spent over six decades in paleontology ( mostly paleocene and eocene mammals). I have to say your explanation is excellent. Your presentation of the material is among the best I've listened to. Thank you. As an aside, I believe the universe is infinite and eternal. I ignore religion because there is no need for gods even if they existed.

Thank you for all the hard work you put into this video. Was a brainwashed creationist Christian for 20 years, now a pagan, and opening myself up to science and reason over superstition and Jewish folk tales.
You mean polytheist or atheist?
@@alskdjfhgqzwez6723 take a guess. mine is that they're still brainwashed but got convinced by other woo.
that's great to hear
Religious person - "Noah built a giant ship!"
Reasonable person - "But there's no timber in the Middle East!"
Religious person - "Not any more!"
lol
Professional modern shipwrights couldn't build a wooden ship like Noah's that wouldn't twist and be destroyed. There's no way Noah did.
@Mister Privacy Even creationist organizations like CMI and AIG have acknowledged Wyatt was a fraud. scholarworks.csun.edu/handle/10211.2/3026
@Mister Privacy But if Noah and his ark existed how would the ship resist the presure from every animal,also what did the animals eat?
@Mister Privacy Facts aren't determined by popularity. Wyatt is a well known fraud. He had no training in archaeology. The Durupinar site has been excavated. It's solid, and none of it is petrified wood. It's mostly igneous rock with some limestone. Claiming it's the Ark is no different than seeing pictures in clouds.
I know a way to disprove Noah's flood: have a normal functioning brain.
There was a flood period according to Sumerian tablets.
Robert W Early civilizations formed along major rivers. Rivers flood. Therefore it shouldn't be surprising if they have flood stories. It is just that they aren't all the same flood.
I'm delusional! I believe I will be happily retired someday, in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
Normal functioning brains have ample room for fanciful beliefs.
+Docktor Jim If by retired you mean being a greater at Home Depot, that is my belief also.
The best 20 minute treatise on anthropology I have ever heard, a wonderful explanation of the big picture. So sad that creationist bullshit like 'Noah's flood' is taken seriously in this enlightened day-and-age. Thank you AronRa for your excellent presentation as we strive to put the pieces together to get closest to the truth.
That is because he gave you want you wanted to hear. If he gave you the truth about "real science" and creation, you would have turned deaf ears to it.
@@raywinsor3948 LMFAO, nice try. Real science does NOT support your narrative. Period.

Coincidentally enough, you have to be pretty creative in order to be a creationist, considering you have to constantly maneuver around and jump over the hurdles of scientific evidence.
It’s more like they just pretend these hurdles don’t exists and constantly stumble over them.
@@jamesgordon9825 an old video just came to mind when I read your comment. It was of a high school girl doing her track event and she failed to get over even one hurdle but she went and did them all. It was a mixed feeling of hilarity and sorrow XD
One of the most common traits I find about Evolution, Dichotomies, Increments, and so on, is that people who are less educated, especially religious people, tend to ignore increments. For them, you're either a Leftist or a Republican. There is either socialism or The Constitutional Republic. "Species turn into something else or they don't change at all! Ha! I just disproved evolution!" No, you simply proved how unintelligent and ignorant you are. One of the most aggravating things about these types of people is that the idea of increments flies right over their heads. These are the same people who don't understand that it's possible to have a Constitutional Republic and a capitalist country with certain socialist elements, and vice versa. The reason why is because to them, any acceptance of contrary belief is deemed as a sort of defacto "heresy" that's then turned into a scape-goat and burned with the rest of the things they deem "unholy". This isn't just a Far Right thing either, anyone on any side of the political, (or scientific/evolutionary side) can be effected by this closed minded hypocrisy. What you'll notice about people who are less educated is that they tend to shy away from things that run contrary to their established beliefs and that they run on an authoritarian system. They also require scape-goats. Why? Because when we were in the primitive ages, we needed a way to relieve tension in rival groups that occurred due envy and eventually caused chaos and mob rule. Scapegoats would help restore peace in these groups by giving members a common cause to rally against, even though it was arbitrary. I have a hypothesis that they gravitate towards this because they don't have it within themselves to reasonably manage their own urges, desires, etc. so they need an oppressive system to keep them in line. An un-reasonable non-negotiable system for un-reasonable non-negotiable people. This of course goes back to the fact that religion reverses everything because you can see the primitive human mind rearing its ugly head in these religious groups who single out and funnel their hate at the so-called sin. What I hate about this the most is that there's absolutely no incentive to adapt our conscious minds and become more civilized. Instead, people are not only allowed to play to the primal instinct but they are rewarded for it.
You had a lot to get off of your chest I see.
Yeah, I know it's a long post. I live in a religious Republican family. My mom relies on authoritarian reasoning and my dad *thinks* he's rational, but when you really get down to it, it's driven by passion more than anything else. Try to bring up a contrary point, and he gets angry, sometimes to the point of violence. I've been on the wrong end of that stick.
I live in a similar situation. It's certainly hard to fight the "unbridled passion" that comes out of such primitive thinking. It's like I can see a sort of feral tenacity take over. Creepy.
Good post!!
As far as the oldest date for The Flood. I know of some Young Earth Creationists who believe Earth and most of The Universe is 30,000, even 40,000 or of years old.

So some YECs may believe the migration from The Ark took up to several thousand years.

Anthropology is one of my favorite subjects.
don`t forget; there are as many different anthropologists as there are human characters... and this Aron seems to be suffering from an overdose of meth....
I learned more from this video than I did in several years of public school.
It's amazing that creationist have such closed minds to not accept evolution. when the evidence is absolutely there supporting evolution. it just shows that they deliberately choose not accept evolution.
indoctrination since toddlerhood is a powerful tool. that's why it's still used by all "believers" in whatever woo they were indoctrinated with.

Ignorance and insanity.
One of your best, Aron. Nicely and succinctly laid out.
This is an excellent look at where we humans came from--as well as how it makes mythology of Noah's flood. This is a great series showing so many aspects of ancient history that make Noah's flood impossible.
Can't wait for the part where mythology disproves Noah's Flood.
Mythology is where the flood "myth" comes from in the Sumerian tablets Enuma Elish.
You mean the Epic of Gilgamesh and its predecessors? Well, yeah, that, we know that the story isn't original, but there's more than that, other supposed flood myths don't give credence to the Noah's flood because they involve different characters, take place in different times and often involve different and contradicting elements. For example, the Slavic myth involves two male individuals, a trickster called Kurent and a giant named Kranjac, surviving the flood by climbing atop of the highest mountain, which for some reason wasn't flooded. The Egyptian flood myth doesn't even include water, but instead suggests a berserk goddess killed so many people that the world drowned in their blood. The Chinese flood myth records a local event instead of a global one, the Indonesian myth says that gods survived the flood by climbing into the sky, and most of them don't even involve gathering animals into a giant boat, while some actually involve gathering of plants instead.

I come from a family of atheist. this happen to me 43 years ago I was just 26 Back then I knew just almost nothing about God heaven or hell except what I seen on tv or radio and what I was told about Jesus was when I was 12. it was told to me by an elder of a church. That I met when my mum took me to see him At the time My mother was an atheist and she would not go in to the church So we met the church elder after the service out side the church. My mum took me to see him he was a Paediatrician and for the last three months night after night I was I was being pulled in to Hell by a huge being later I found out it was a demon, it was covered in what look like mould. And it had a four posted solid gold crown on it head the size of a dustbin lid. I was pull in to a pit of blue and Gray burning fog This was Hell it would burn my skin off and with ever breath my lips mount and lungs would get burnt then grew back again instantly to be burned of again ans again. This went on for night after night I wake up I would wake up screaming in my mothers arms. But going to a church this time was a one time event only. I never went near a church again till I got married to my wife Jenny 18 years later Because she was and still is a christian. I become a christian. The NDE happen 14 years later when I was 26 from start to finish this has so much information in it I cant fit it all on here information that confirms what I tell you here to the best of my knowledge is true. I had to have an surgery to save my life Medical report showed I was so ill during surgery my heart had stop they took turns doing CPR for 30 minutes till they called it I was then left with out a heart beat for a further 8 minutes I found my self floating on the ceiling of the operating room. I was then pull though the wall First off We are conceived Body Soul Spirit our soul controls our body but it can not function without a body So when we die for a while our soul is out side of our body. When our soul goes to heaven or goes to Hell it is given a new body. I was pull in to heaven I was put in a new body. There I notice that that had no genitalia at all. I seem to be dressed in a roman like toga. In heaven I met thousands upon thousands of my ancestors And I seem to be able to communicate with each and ever single one of them. They all seem also to have no genitalia and the first thing I notice was the woman had no breast . The next thing I notice was My ancestors seem very concerned about me. Then they started to move away from me. I then notice there was a man with two other man beside him (I later learned that the two other men were angels) This man was kneeling on the ground with his back to me He look like he was looking at moving photos then I notice they were photos of me of when I was a boy of 12. 13 years ago . Then he come to the photos of me talking to that church elder. The photos showed me after talking to the elder I truly believe in Christ. When he seen this he look up at me and smiled. I could now see his face I can still see the love in his eyes. I ask him for his name he told his name was Emmanuel . At the time I never heard that name before so I did not know that, I was speaking with Christ himself .. When my ancestors found out that I was not going to Hell . They were very happy. One of them showed me how to crate a white marble stone slab. After I made it. I was siting on it when Emmanuel walk over to me and told me I have to go back. As I had to finish off my purpose what ever that was I keep saying no! No! No! Please but he sent me back any way It was then I felt my heart beating in my chest my ancestors then started to move away from me very fast I later figured out You see when he started my heart up my soul was now connected to my mortal body my mortal sinful body. And my body was full of sin. I floated though the wall in to the operating room and started sinking in to my cold dead body,. it was like sinking in to cold mud. Then I fell asleep and later woke in recovery. I was fighting to take off the oxygen mask when I notice I was not in heaven any more all around me was darkness they later put me back in the wards. they wanted to give me a shower It was then I was able to look at my body in the mirror I notice there were a dark patch marks on the back of my arms my legs I was told that it was congealed blood laying under my skin. I knew I had the NDE but I did not know that I had acutely died on the operating table. And that I had been dead for thirty eight minutes. I was still very weak as I had lost over 40 kilos. When I tried to tell people about this they really did not want to know But ever though it been over 40 years I still remember ever bit of it.

Another thing that disproves Noah’s flood (and creationism in general) are cave paintings.
We know that many prehistoric animals (like woolly mammoths and cave lions for example) coexisted with early humans bc they painted them on caves but we don’t see any animals like stegosaurus or dimetrodon in those cave paintings.
And also cave paintings are way older than just 6 thousand years

I try very much not to be prejudice, and I no not hate Chinese people, but I do NOT trust the Chinese government at all. I think they are dangerous and getting more so.
Gotta love these vids. Quality content, factual underscoring and a gentle delivery.
Excellent presentation. For so many years I dismissed the human origin/evolution story as simple nonsense. But over the last year or more of actually researching the subject, I realized how little I knew about it. And the more I learn about our origins the more fascinating it becomes. And I noticed the reference to the brilliant Dr. Alice Roberts. Her presentations and works are very educational. I highly recommend her RUclips videos for anyone who is curious about human origins.
The thunder and rain provide a cool natural soundtrack to the video.
I have been reading a lot of research about early humans and their evolution. So interesting. Love your vids Aron. Thanks!!!
Big shout out for prof Alice Roberts (15:30)!
Her 'Origins Of Us' and 'The Incredible Human Journey' are must-watch for everybody here.
(note: she was still Dr. Alice Roberts at the time)
Wow!!! “Yeah, my family has lived in this neighborhood for 9000 years”. Haha! Incredible!!
They found a direct descendent half a mile away from the remains? THAT is what we call a homebody.
I really love these videos Mr. AronRa! Thank you a million times!😃
White ppl always try to convince ppl that they came from Europe instead of Africa and I'm white and I know that we came from africa and I'm completely fine with that
Always great logical videos🔥
bold of you to assume that they'd watch all 20 minutes of this video
I love how your pwnage vids come in like 11 part series now
Even if I didn't have warm, fuzzy memories of your Foundational Falsehood series, a fave just for the 'subtle' dig at the not-so-stable genius.
This is so fascinating. I like the sly Trump reference- he epitomises the shock and sadness I feel at the fact we have access to almost the sum of human knowledge yet so many still choose blatant ignorance (frequently due to concerted efforts by religious groups to keep people living by a 2000 yr old book).
No God chooses who will or wont follow him So it is not due to concerted efforts by religious groups to keep people living by a 2000 yr old book)
Yes, it is definitely because believers follow a collection of anonymously written ancient papyrus scribblings and are terrified of an eternal imaginary BSDM torture dungeon.
Brilliant. I enjoyed the ending, very much.
Damn jesus over here disproving his own existence I'm jk but seriously he's right
What a cram packed twenty minutes. I'm not ready for the final exam. That was like nonchalant teleprompter recitation at warp speed 5. Wow and thank you AronRa. !!
We’re all still technically fish at the end of the day
Well no wonder I've been slippery all my life!
Yes. That will be why I love things that are e-fishy-ent ;) .
Arons a Ranthropologist , if he was a big Ape on the Ark, Noah would have thrown him over board. ? So he could evolute into a fish? ? Denying the Great Flood proves Aron Ra a Dud ? ? ?
We are all Africans.
No, thank you.

Thank you for exposing yourself as the petty child that you are.
This was truly amazing. Better than what I learned in grade school, and I went to public school. Really appreciate these!
I keep trying to watch something on Netflix but then I'm just like.. "okay, maybe ONE more AronRa video first"
I love your taste in music Aaron!
Well, I think I learnt something today. That the majority of human genetic diversity is in Africa, if I understood correctly. Or perhaps better phrased, still, in Africa. I reflect a lot on how humans are when I look at our modern issues. Our nature seems to be, populate an area, then bud off, colonise new regions, and repeat. Only now we've run out of space, those who would love to leave society and found their own colony are trapped. It's like our whole species has a subconscious awareness of how overpopulated we are, and crave new spaces to expand into, and the lack gets us agitated. Not that that's a uniquely human thing by any stretch of the imagination
Thank you for helping me learn the reality vs the crap I was raised with. I always questioned and felt I was a poor Christian. Turns out I wasn’t a bad Christian but a good atheist.
I can't believe people actually have to disprove that bullcrap.
I take it that you haven't listened to a single word that Aron has been saying.
@@brianhull1765 what? I don't get it. I was referring to the stupid crap that is in the Bible.
Reading all the comments to videos/discussions like this one really makes me wish sciences were mandatory in each semester as long as someone is in any level of school. It seems like the main problem with getting non-science people to understand this stuff is that it's impossible to explain years' worth of studies in a few paragraphs. They don't get just how complicated it all is, both the way cells and organisms function and how important mutations are in all of it and how many different ways mutations can even occur. There's just SO much to it, but it all makes sense if people would just spend the time to educate themselves. One course here and there is nowhere near enough. It wouldn't even scratch the surface of all the information that is currently known about this topic. It's not enough to answer all the recurring questions that seem to constantly come up with people who don't get it. It's only until finally higher level university courses are taken that maybe a person who so strongly disbelieves it all would finally get it and see just how much work has gone into seeing whether or not evolution is true, which there is no doubt that it is. Still, it's awesome to see videos like this one where people who took the time to understand it all are able to explain the gist in very simple terms.
Also, the other major problem is that religious people who don't believe in this stuff have every single thing they believe in coming from a background where they can pull out one sentence or a phrase from one single book written by an author who is completely unknown (if it's not unknown, there is zero way of knowing the credibility of the person who wrote this one book) and say that that quote is fact. So when asking questions about science-related things, I would think most of them or many of them expect to be given a direct quote from one of our science books that will directly answer their very complex question. They don't even realize how complex their question is because that is not what their book is like. In sciences, the facts we currently know and keep working on finding are based on so much information from completely independent sources that one human life would not be enough to read through all the books and research papers written over the years to prove these facts and theories.
There are so many of them, each one explaining the many different ways in which scientific facts or theories came about. This is why years' worth of university courses are required to get a decent understand of this stuff and many years more of studies (or even a lifetime is required) to become a specialist in scientific fields. The independent sources coming to the same conclusions to support the theories is extremely important, because no matter where in the world you're from or what your background is, every single time you will come to the exact same conclusion. If someone provides scientific evidence that what you believe is incorrect, there is excitement, because you can test it and see whether you were wrong about your theory and instead they are right by attempting to reproduce their work in your lab. If it works, that's a HUGE cause for excitement - possibly. Or it could be due to some kind of error in the way it was tested, in which case that would be discovered after a while and that study's conclusions would be thrown out the window. If, however, it was repeatable by others, it could very well lead to a new discovery, new law, new fact or new working theory.
If the book about your religion is true.... would you not think that it would work this same way? That no matter where a person is born, they would believe the exact same things as you? Would your god not put you in a world *already* full of people who believed in your same god? If there was a god that created all people, why wouldn't they just create the perfect world for you and not give you 'enemies' who believe in other things. It's such an insane thing. I've tried so many times to read the Bible and some other religious texts and couldn't ever get past the first few pages because it just didn't make any sense. It always sounds more like a story, because people can interpret what ever they want in which ever way they please. It's like a poem where people have to figure out what is really meant by this or that section of the book. Why not spell out exactly what is meant instead of in a wishy-washy way?
Why would anyone need to suffer in order to make your god happy? The crazy notion that we have to experience suffering and make huge sacrifices in order to appreciate what we have is complete insanity. As a child, when you didn't know about any of the cares in this world, when things seemed perfect... did you never think how wonderful it would be if we were born into heaven? If god (which ever one you believe in) is truly as powerful and mighty as you believe and can create all the things he's said to have created, why the heck wouldn't he just make you born into that thing they call as your version of heaven? Why through the ages did people have to fight for it and die for it and suffer in hopes of earning something that's not even guaranteed. Have you ever really spoken to a dead person to see whether what that one book told you was even true? Any living person today who tries to convince you that it's true hasn't either. I can guarantee that. Near death experiences don't count. A person who's been dead for a long enough time to be truly declared dead, who has started to decompose and with fair certainty would have made it to heaven if that really exists. Because that too is a huge issue to me with religion... people claiming to have seen heaven. If you came back from a few seconds or minutes of being dead, I doubt that would be enough time to suddenly get transported to this heaven. It just makes no sense. There are zero ways to prove it. Someone saying they saw it is not proof. It could be hallucinations. Why pick your version that you wish was the truth over something that's more likely, which is hallucination.... only because you want to believe what you believe.
That's the thing about science. There's no 'belief' in it. There are so many ways to test whether what someone says is actually true or not. And if currently there isn't a way to test it, people can work at that and eventually find a way to test it. With religion there is nothing of this sort. It's just... wait until you die. That's it. If we were wrong, you won't know about it anyway. Why on earth would you believe in something like that? Potentially wasting years of life worshiping something that most likely doesn't even exist. Other people told you it does, so you spent your entire life believing it instead of working on truly getting to understand the world we live in, including yourself and how you work.
Also, with science, people stop and think about how having children will impact the future. The world's population is growing unbelievably fast. There's huge competition for jobs, for housing, soon enough for food, etc. Typically (I know this is not always the case all the time, I'm not trying to say it is, but more often than not) religious people tend to have larger families. When i was younger I always dreamed of having a large family, but it simply doesn't make any sense. Why create more people for your kids to compete with once out of university. Why create more people, who inevitably will create more pollution, require more food, create more waste and garbage. There isn't an unlimited about of space on this planet. At some point we are going to run out of space. If you think "hey, but we're going to Mars soon and that'll solve all our problems." No one's ever lived on Mars and the only people who will be able to afford to go there at some point (if it even proves to be a non-suicidal mission) are the rich people. Most of our kids will stay here on Earth and will have to live in all the waste and pollution that we're creating.
But sorry, back to science: it brings people who really understand it together. Those who have no background in it, only power and money, are the ones who tend to abuse it and use it in all the wrong ways. The scientists working in the background, trying to understand the world, those people LOVE learning from each other, it doesn't matter where in the world they come from. How is that not more beautiful and more worth spending time understanding and learning about than one book that has no credibility other than people telling you to believe it. Just because they say you should. In science you can play with science, you can actually SEE what science books talk about for yourself by conducting your own experiments. Test them out, play around with it, it's beautiful! And best of all, you'll understand more about the real world that we currently live in than you ever would through one single book written who knows how long ago, before anything about the world was even truly understood.
Aron Ra should debate Kent Hovind
and by debate, i mean teach. because there really isn't anything to debate with Kent since he is wrong on just about everything
No this is Patrick Evidence shows this but I have this book....
He turned him down (aron ra did)
As brilliant as he is, AronRa is not particularly skilled in the art of debate. Better to have Matt Dillahunty debate Hovind.
True and not a slight toward AronRa, its because Dillahunty has far more experience in that format. Aron 's strong suit is presentations.
I agree matt is a far better debater, but then again kent entire thing is creationism/anti-evolution nonsense, which I can't help but think aron knows far more about.
maybe a tag team debate? kent is after all always bragging about how he could debate 20 atheists with his brain tied behind his back sitting in a 500 degree oven filled with africanized killer bees.
thank you for another well put together video. We need more people like you representing us in government!
Aron Ra could be and should be a professor of anthropology. at one of the highest universities in the world. he no doubt is qualified this video proves it.
It occurs to me that creationists follow the "Adam Savage school of thought", in a detrimental way rather than a humorous way. "I reject your reality, and substitute a reality of my own".
Concise, cogent explanation. Great video.
Love the video. Anthropology fascinates me insanely. Imagine walking travelling around the Earth and meeting all those different humanoids, that'd be crazy XD
Hi, Aron! Your videos are always interesting and entertaining, keep them coming. Best wishes all the way from cold dark Finland!
Isn't it SUMMER?
Robert W Yes and it lasts few days, then you have to wait another 200 years to see the sun again
It's ok, you've got Salmiaki
sttonep
Lol, Canadian here, it can't be that bad, can it?
Unless you're living in the northernmost part of Finland, in which case, I feel your pain 😂
Aron's excellent videos are getting even better.
Straight to the point without fluff for 15mins. Great video and I learnt so much from this video! It is incredibly heartbreaking I/We will never be able to see what all those other species would have looked like or acted.
Basic common bloody sense disproves Noah's flood!
Thank you for creating such an incredibly informative video series.
Amazing video! It never fails to blow my mind how people reject reality to keep their personal beliefs intact. nice one Aron!
Did you watch KingCrocducks debate with Ken Hovid.
I think he should join them in future episodes, KH is always drifting away to biology questions while KC can only answer questions about astrophysics.
Ian Cook yup
KC ripped him a new one (but don't tell KH; he thinks he won
Next up how Noah’s flood disproves Noah’s flood
You make this material very approachable in a way that no one else I have found. Keep up the great work Aron! You are making a difference.
I see the addicts are still clinging to their imaginary friend drugs..... And not listening.
At around the 6 minute mark, you say > the difference between modern humans is only skin-deep
I have to argue this point. It is most certainly not just skin deep, but more profound. Criminal pathologists can and do determine the race of a long-dead human just from their skeleton all the time. And black people, as far as I know, have 10% or 20% higher bone density, which is why they are on average more capable of athletic feats than other ethnicities. Not to mention their lips are thicker, their hair is curlier, etc. If what you said were true, then an albino black person would look exactly the same as a white person, or a heavily tanned white person would look the same as a brown/black person. Obviously this is not the case.
I'm not saying anyone is superior or inferior to the other, just that there is a wide set of differences other than skin colour. Oh, and I'm not a theist, inb4 someone mistakes me for one. If any pathologists are reading this comment I assume they can confirm it.
I think he is being poetic to convey the point that we aren't actually all that different in comparison to how diverse humans once were.
He is well aware of phenotypic difference.
I'm already looking forward to the next vid. I really love this series.
2:44 love this, “…a couple of thousand of generations per second” morphology. A much better an more accurate depiction of human evolution from our other ape ancestors.
Superbly delivered material as ever Aron. Very educational (unless you're a creationist!).
I feel sorry for that little Brazilian frog that had to swim all way to the middle east to get on that boat, an than later he had to swim back all the way to Brazil again.
Did you listen to anything Aron Ra has been teaching in this series?!?! Godfuckingdamn! It's like reading comments from a 1st grader!!!
I was more impressed with penguins walking across the desert without getting hit by a car ; )
I absolutely love your videos. So informative full of scientific facts. I enjoy that when I hear you speak I know the truth is being told. That you so much for informing me. I did come late to the party. But I am here now and soaking up as much info as possible. Thanks again. Hope you have a great week.
