How Mythology Disproves Noahs Flood

When I was 8 or 9, I found a sea shell fossil in my dad's cornfield. I asked my mom, "I wonder how it got there?" Her stunned response was "from the flood, that's the only way fossils could form." Even at that age, I knew she was wrong, because she made the mistake of letting me watch those Nova nature programs. But I also knew I couldn't question the Bible any further, so I shut up about it. My mom is the kind of person who aced all of her courses in school, yet DELIBERATELY failed Evolutionary Biology. Absurd.
What a shame.
At least it skipped you.
@Joshua Poore
Are you a theist?
There was no global flood, and the human species didn't come from just Noah and his descendants.
As the genes weaken with each successive generation as less diversity breeds into itself until the population dies out due to this, unless you claim magic is the reason.
@Joshua Poore Mom???
@Joshua Poore
You're "proff" positive as to why inbreeding is bad.
You sure did assume alot, were you thinking when you typed or did you use talk to text ?? LMFAO
@Joshua Poore I feel "retarteded" just from reading this. I need some "80 proff" liquor just to deal with you. Does it bother you that everyone on the ark was the same race? Does it bother you that they literally needed to "boink" their own relatives to sustain the human race (for the second time, no less)? Does it bother you that China, and other ancient civilizations, never got the memo that the flood happened? You are arguing against yourself, here. Were you created in god's own image or not? If god is infinitely great, why would stupidity be part of his design? Why is god ok with slavery and rape, but yet he can't even "being doing natural selection good?" Sorry, that's a lot of questions, I should just ask about your level of education. Does it bother you that you are making your religion look even dumber than it is? Does it bother you that the Bible provides the wrong value for pi? Does it bother you that god provided guidelines on how to abort fetuses? Does it bother you that the Bible describes the earth as flat? Does it bother you that there are hundreds of denominations of Christianity, even though god's word is "living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword?" Why are you arguing with people online, if "the meek shall inherit the earth?" You mentioned natural selection, so why would this literally need to be hijacked in order to supply us with the diversity we see in the animal kingdom today? What if...the earth is geologically dynamic, so sometimes, there's water over here, and sometimes, there's water over there. Does it bother you that the response you are formulating right now doesn't answer even a single one of my questions?

Indeed, I second that.
Minds need books like a blade needs a whetstone.
Or in Aron's case a leather strap for the razor...
@@tyrionlannister9273 Much of the world, including most of the population of the US, is bound and tied to one version or another of a bizarre mythology of Giant Beings In The Sky/Out In Space who created the world and run everything. Despite the contradictions, the outright impossibility, they cannot face the fact that such beings do not exist. So they "compartmentalize" and stick their fantasies away in a corner of their minds where they don't affect their decisions. Until they do. Until there is a crisis, personal or affecting the world, for which their only answer is to cling to the fantasy of Benevolent Tyrants Of Mysterious Ways who will make it all better if they will just believe and beg them hard enough.
Meanwhile, reality continues as it always has, regardless of their fantasies, fears, and wishes. It is great that we still have people such as Aron, and others, who respect reality and reason.
I became atheist around the 4th grade when I saw that almost all biblical stories could not have possibly been true. Since then I studied mythology from Greece to norse, to Christian and the other Abrahamic religions. Now I am 71 years old and well on my way to the "lake of everlasting fire" the Christians promised me. The worst thing about being atheist is that I can never say "I told you so."
I admit I wish I could have a "I told you so" moment.
Think of all the people through out history who killed and committed horrible atrocities all to get into heaven. I wish there could have been a moment where they realized death was disappearing and it was all for nothing. But by the time the lack of god could be confirmed, they'll already be gone.
It's crazy if you think about it. Generations and generations of humans who died believing they were about to go somewhere. Into nothingness. Devoted their life to something that doesn't exist and now they don't exist either. It's horribly sad how religion has gripped humanity and held it hostage.
Don't worry about that lake.
If we're spirits in a meatsuit, and you need something physical to burn like wood, coal, gas, flesh and a spirit isn't physical, there's literally nothing to burn.
You'll be fine.
Belief in stories won't make them true, or else magic would exist and people would all be ninjas like on Naruto.

I googled the term constation, it has no definition.
And St Thomas Aquinas was just some guy who believed in the Abrahamic traditions and mythology.
Religions are cults, mythology is pretending non-factual events, persons and deities are real. Just because it's socially accepted doesn't mean it's not a cult, as all the hallmarks are present.
So what evidence can be shown without the circular reasoning arguments? You know, not stating things in a religious text as fact then using the same book to support the validity of the claim.
If you meant you believe it to be true then remember, those stories come from bronze age genius's who actually thought the planet was flat, the sun rose, set and travelled the sky, being reborn at dawn and dieing at night... Which probably came from even older sources like the Stone age and beforehand.

@@Chief2Moon seems like U.K trying to catch up.
When the Internet took off 20 years ago I had the naive hope that easy access to the culmination of most gathered Human knowledge would ignite a more rational society, but of course it takes more than access to knowledge to overcome the Human urge to believe whatever feels most comfortable to them.
Its because people want to be entertained rather gather knowledge and be informed.
I actually think it has the opposite effect. People with ridiculous notions can now easily share their contrived nonsense and more quickly expose gullible and ignorant people causing a tidal wave of stupidity. Before this, I had no idea there were this many idiots on the planet. The average IQ is 100 for a reason, and fully one-half the population is more stupid than that!
That was great until Web 2.0 was invented, and then everyone could promote their opinion.

Fun quote I filed away for giggles:
"“The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.”- Winston Churchill"
His son Randolph is reported as being challenged, by the man Evelyn Waugh no less, to read the entire Bible. The result is said to have been quotes from some of the choicest bits, and the repeated remark _"God, what a _*_shit_*_ God is."_
And that truth is that Winston Churchill is personally responsible for mass starvation in the Bengal famine in which he allowed exports of food to continue from the territory while the local population starved to death.

Noah's Ark was real, but made of riveted iron, not wood. It was in fact the Titanic, transported back through time to save the world, and then removed from Mount Ararat to Liverpool in 1912 so it could be sunk to conceal the evidence.

Dear Aron, I really love your channel and videos! For many years I lived in an Islamic seminary studying to become an Islamic theologian ('Alim). Somehow I viewed this video one day and I was utterly shocked at the evident syncretism of divinely-inspired mythological floods. Consequently, I purchased many texts (by esteemed Assyriologists, Samuel N. Kramer, Stephen H. Langdon, Alexander Heidel, Stephanie Dalley, et al.) concerning the ancient Mesopotamian foundation of many Jewish, Christian, and Islamic myths, particularly Noah (Ziusudra, Atra-Hasis, Utnapishtim, etc.). With every subsequent video of yours, my eyes have progressively opened wider. Thank you.

So every civilization has "it's own" flood story? Are you telling me that 4500 years ago they local people didn't know about the flood that happened on the other side of the planet and thus only told the story off their local flood? Strange....dumbshit

because denying the rapid end of the Ice Age is "rational" when Greenland ice core data states the opposite...

That's pretty historical, deny the ice age flood, but embrace the man made flood.

poor jerry tang who try to catch to the tree branches . Confusing trust in scientific knowledge, with blind religious belief in old and stupid stories.
I am not a science guy, I knew how to terrorize a community pretty good and it was a tough community. Then I got shot and promised Jesus I would change if I survived. I went to the Catholic church and was just as mean after. Tolerated a few Jehovah's nitwits for a bit and a few Morons, Then I went to a really strange one. smoked a fatty and went inside, I danced with em an praised the Lord like they were doing and I had a blast. Some of em spoke in tongues, ROFL.. I love a good time.
Then I opened my mouth and spoke one day, I said yea, I've been shot six times {ruclips.net/video/GRTElgVvcrc/видео.html} and my best friend was a serial killer, I was a thief and all that really bad stuff.
It did not go ever well, but thats what their there for... One fellow the pastors friend said sure all this stuff happened to you and I told him go down to the public library and there are at least two books with me in them and his son wrote them down and got the books and said "I dont think this guy is joking" ROFL...
They told me Father, Son and Holy Ghost were titles and not a name (like tricking you) and Peter allways baptized in Jesus name... furthermore they said I would speak in other tongues when I recieved the holy ghost...ROFL......

As a sailor who has seen many wooden hulls being worked on in the yards, I take a look at that boondoggle and think to myself: "No way that POS could float." From that distant picture, I see massive cracks between the planks which would overwhelm any human-powered bilge pumps I know of. I even doubt it keeps the interior dry in a good rainstorm.
But Jere, the boat must have been held in place by God's power alone!!!!!
Yeah, right! And all the animals & humans suddenly were transformed into amphibians, then fish who could breathe underwater.
and boy, the Flood would be the mother of all rainstorms. In fact, in order to cover all the land on Earth in 40 days, the water would have to pour down so fast it would literally vaporize itself on sheer kinetic energy, destroying Earth's surface and atmosphere with it..
In fact, Ken Ham recently sued the contractors responsible after his "Ark" was damaged in a rainstorm.

My father, a JW, always tried to rationalise the insanities and dogma from the governing body by saying things like that it's possible that humans evolved from hominids. Stuff he nor any witness would ever admit in front of their peers.

Well friend.
Many do still believe in a world wide flood.
Wow to those who believe it in blind faith.
Kudos to those who believe it with good cause.
It isn't like it can't be substantiated or that there is not ample information to consider it ad a valid option.
Archaeologically
Historically
Geologically
Are a few factors supporting this belief.
It isn't fairy-tale wishful thinking that guides this belief. Though it may be for many, it does not represent the whole.
Aron and the likes of his those believing as he does interpret information.
Interpreting unprovable and untestable data or material to create a narrative.
And taking the same data and applying it to information already there are two different things.
@@jcr65566 you know the world wide flood happened?
I believe it happened.
I believe there's significant information defining that logical conclusion.
Especially considering that historical documents were written thousands of years ago but a line perfectly with current available science information.
It certainly isn't making up something to fit the narrative or making it mean what you want.
But to say we know it happened.
Is not possible. It's possible to say it but it's not possible to prove it.
But significant evidence points to it.
So I know it happened because I believe it happened.
And those opposing it know it didn't happen because they believe it didn't.
Neither is provable and neither is testable.
@@landofthefree2023 if the flood really did happen, why did no other culture reference it at all? How is it that humans managed to survive inbreeding between one family? How did all the animals and people survive the massive amount of methane that would be released? What about maintaining the diet of all those animals? How did they accommodate for every animal? How did the animals survive such inbreeding if there was only two of each animal? Why is there no geological proof that the flood happened? Why has no one found the Ark in all of human history? Why did some cultures that existed before the flood continue to persist after the flood? How come none of the animals killed each other despite being in such a stressful and confined environment?

You really want answers to all those questions?
Many other cultures did reference the flood.
Have you listened to any debates at all that's an atheist number one argument oh that there's multiple stories of a flood.
Other cultures most definitely wrote about the flood.
One if there was inbreeding the gene pool was pure in the beginning.
So the genetics would not have been a problem. However I don't believe the scriptures support the idea that all humanity came from Adam and Eve.
When I read the scripture it's very clear that other creation existed outside of the garden Adam and Eve were the beginning of the relationship between God and man a special creation.

I live in Istanbul (rumelian side). Does it count? Not the best city for being an atheist in it, you can assume.
When I was about eight, a lady outside a restaurant handed me a tract titled, "Don't Miss the Boat." It told a simplified version of the Noah story, ending with a cry to "not miss the boat" by converting to Christianity. I read it, looked up at my mom, and said, "this is just the story of Deucalion and Phyrra from Greek mythology."
Now that I think on it, though, the story of Deucalion and Phyrra, as told in the collection of Greek myths child-me had read, was a lot better at explaining the incest thing away than the Biblical myth (and indeed than many other flood narratives with similarly incestuous denouements), as the surviving couple do not repopulate the world on their own, but are instead told to throw stones over their shoulders; those thrown by Deucalion turned into men, while those thrown by Phyrra turned into women. It's still a ridiculous story, but at least the population bottleneck would have been more manageable with this spontaneously generated new blood.
my wife's personal favorite is the South American flood myths where women returned as dogs....put's the male ego and attempts at subjugation into a very clear perspective.

@- The genesis flood myth isn’t directly copied from Gilgamesh, but it’s still stolen.
@- and epic of Gilgamesh was copied from the epic of Atrahasis.
The changes made in the Hebrew version are ridiculous. They added more months to make the story more imposing, when in the original, it only lasted seven days. As if you needed more that seven days of flood to kill humans. Then they merged the god who made the flood and the god who instructed Atrahasis to make the ark into one god, ending up with a split personality deity who behaves like an abusive parent or spouse: beats the shit out of you in a fit of rage, then apologises and promises to never do it again. How the authors of the Noah story ever thought depicting their god as a mentally unstable abuser was a good idea is beyond me, but weirdly enough, it fits perfectly with the rest of their god's behavior. Probably because the rest of the Bible is also stolen from various other sources (Zoroastrianism for example), and of course the result would be a inconsistent, mentally unstable deity.
@@drajakovic I like your post, but my understanding is that Gilgamesh was an
earlier tale than Atrahasis and the others.
Look up the stuff by the British Museum scholar of Assyrian writings, Irving Finkel.
These flood myths are so common because the earliest peoples were reliant upon rivers for both water and transportation and if they lived in an arid climate, for irrigation as well. Living in river valleys, the flood was the most common natural catastrophe. Mind boggling floods are often a once in a century occurrence. The flood in the Bible was no doubt a very catastrophic flood in Mesopotamia. Probably really happened, destroyed an entire river valley culture, and thus would have been remembered with some excitement. Perfectly normal for inclusion in any sort of religious belief of people who did not have the scientific resources or understanding of much of anything. You can go through the entire Bible and find perfectly reasonable explanations for the stories that fit. The early writers brought all of this together in a rather awkwardly collated text and we have the Bible.

@@tyrionlannister9273 dont think I'm like those other people just closed minded. I got the answers had it all along. This shit is easy for me, ppl say I overthink, they dont think at all.

So I'm not sure and I'm pretty tired now its 3am.

Your channel has been one of many in the awesome areas I've found a wealth of knowledge. After all, I have to teach my kids the RIGHT things so that others can't sway them with friendly dinosaurs and a loving sky daddy.
Keep up all the awesome work.

I just got out of a cult a year ago. After years of research (within the limited information I was allowed to look at due to the cult) it was David Montgomery’s lecture on Noah and Geology that really helped the rest of the information come in. Thank you for not listening to the people who say “everyone knows”. A lot of people, including myself once, don’t realize how powerful mind control is in so many religions and cultures. Thanks for your work and understanding.
Well done! For OP, was it this lecture? ruclips.net/video/YMaUzNlDnSY/видео.html

@@alanthompson8515 yep! That’s the one!!!
@@LOH__ Great. I too fought my way out of literalism in my late teens (waaay back in the 1960s). I took up sport caving (long story) and seeing beautiful cross sections of extinct coral fossils in cavern walls 400feet underground and a mile from the entrance made me doubt why either God or Satan would have bothered to have placed them there.
I took up geology to find out more (correctly assuming my devout parents would not realise the implications!) At college my cohort was the first to be introduced to what is now the (rock solid) Theory of Plate Tectonics, several years before it reached the textbooks. So many natural features and processes linked and explained! I still recall the Wow! moment when the penny dropped.
@@alanthompson8515 I love caves and exploring nature. Then I started binge listening to Mr Ballen stories on RUclips.

I went to so many national and state parks and hikes before Rona. It’s like seeing everything in a new way now. Not having to dismiss history and science is such a cool thing. Thank you for sharing your story with me!

There are appox 7 billion people on the planet. Aron is trying to explain to them what is real and what is not. Good luck . how do you teach someone anything that they already know ? especially if the or information was handed down by a parent. Whether or not the information is correct or not ; most will believe what they have heard. This is a momentous task
Good luck ; if he succeeds it will be an accomplishment on a biblical scale.

I was trying to watch the hovind v. Ra debate, but I could not take anymore of Ken's terrible, offensive, uneducated, and ignorant dribble. It came to a point where I felt like I was watching a brain surgeon attempting to work on stupidity in human form. He wanted all your questions at the same time so he could say "because the Bible says so, I am right, and now I win! YAY!"
I've watched them, felt the same way but I couldn't stop.
I had to see and hear them say all those things myself. It was magical.
Like watching a car crash, hoping to see brains and entrails, with lots of blood and core slickening the street mixing with the fluids from the vehicles waiting for it to catch fire.
@@tyrionlannister9273 I watch it too. I felt similarly. The only difference being, I wanted to cause the accident and watch it first hand. I might even help him if he some how live. I would light him on fire to painfully end his misery.
Hovind is the worst example of just about anything creationist, and I'm one also, just an old earth Creationist.
The Bible says in John 3:16-36 that whoever believes in the Lord Jesus Christ shall not perish but have everlasting life, the Bible also says in Romans 10:9 that those who declare with their mouth that Jesus Christ is their God, Lord, and Savior they shall be saved. Revelation 1:8 says that Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Luke and revelation is the ending times, and Jesus is returning back. So are you going to submit your life to him or no? Narrow is the path that leads to the gates of heaven, but only few people find it. The gates that is the path to destruction is where many people find it! Jesus loves you SO MUCH! That he died on the cross, and was resurrected from the dead 3 days later to give us eternal life..!.!.!

We're living in the information age and it's about time we start acting like it and elect people who actually give a crap about educating people with *the truth.*
(and no christians, repeatedly calling your holy book "The Truth" does not magically make it true.)
It simply astounds me why no television network has offered Aron Ra a ton of cash and his own weekly show called something like "Aron Ra Explains" or something? I'm sure there's an appetite in the US (and world) media market for an answer to Christian-biased documentary channels?
Skeptic Psychologist They don't want the boycotts.
It may be because, as Aron says often enough, that his appearance might do more to push the idea that he is possessed, or a demon, by the idiots... I wonder if a day will ever come when I'm NOT a monster for wanting to eliminate EVERY believer, and maybe save humanity from guaranteeing it's own extinction (and who knows how many other species we are going to take with us).
I love this Disproving Noah series. Not quite sure why, but I watch them all every six months or so.

So according to the bible, two of every animal was in this small region of the earth? The bible might as well been written by Dr. Suess.
You are assuming the land configuration back during the flood was the same as it is today. It took Noah a very long time build the ark. Before the flood the land masses could have been configured in such a way that allowed animals not native to the area to migrate to the region of the flood. After the flood the land configuration could have been very much the way we know it today.
Ron Tucker between 55-75 years.....how much did the land change in less than a century? And why doesn't the bible mention this massive land change?
Well, the land masses as they exist today certainly do not change perceptively. But something on the scale of a world-wide flood would have the capacity to make major geological shifts in land mass vs. ocean mass. It's a fallacy to claim if the Bible doesn't mention land masses changes therefore it should have. You are assuming the story of Noah's Ark is about Noah and his family, that it's about building a boat big enough to house all the kinds of animals on the face of the Earth, you are assuming the story of Noah's Ark is about a flood. Well, it isn't. The story is about reminding people that God is faithful to those who obey him, that God does not always protect us from trouble, but cares for us in spite of trouble, that obedience is a long-time commitment, that a man may be faithful but his sinful nature will always follows him. "Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he." [Genesis 6:22]
Ron Tucker
fossils and geology debunk your hypothesis.
Don’t insult Dr. Suess

We don’t even need to go this far to disprove the global flood myth - there isn’t enough water on earth to make it happen.
Frank Castle I'm sure you're right but I'm curious if the polar ice caps melted could it cover the whole earth? How high would that be?
@@davidharrison8753 It would submerge New York, Washington DC, Bejing, London and most islands in the world but it wouldn't even come close to covering even non mountainous regions.
Plus the receding of that much water, where did it all go?
@@davidharrison8753 Obviously they'd have to be higher than any mountains, and they aren't
Actually there is, this was discovered a few years ago. I don't believe this was global, see Black Sea Deluge Hypothesis.
I (a Canadian) was a visiting Biology professor for two years at a inland California State University in the central valley. Students complained that having to take evolution for their biology major insulted their religion. A student whom I thought the most intelligent in my evolution course told me at the that before he'd thought evolution was nonsense but after my course it was clear to him that evolution simply made sense. I was flabbergasted as I realized he was probably the only one. But a faculty member who'd grown up in California told me that most students would believe their pastor about evolution than any professor. HOWEVER, at least they'd been exposed to the analyses and evidence for evolution and I also think it quite possible that my one bright student might convince some of his peers who'd not care what I said. They were mostly first generation university students, many of them descendants of the Okies' featured in Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath.
Its both sad and hilarious that people still think the world is flat.
For so many years I was told these tales, I've questioned it my teachers and I had the same response ''It's God's will, my son you will never understand until he say so''. I was told that scientists wanted to divide us and ripe our religion away from us, but there just here to educate us an help us from our miserable ignorance. Thank you Aaron, this the first time that I watched your vids and I can see that you bring real statistics and speak the truth. Don't close your mind people, experience, compare an learn that's how you can free yourself from ignorance and the most important one spread love and happiness all around you.
Not gloating. Honestly, but I was shocked around the age 5 or 6 when I found out people actually believed in the story.
Technically, we are still in an ice age.
Not for much longer...
Can you tell that to Florida please
ARON RA PLEASE DO A VID ON HOW/WHY THE EXODUS NEVER HAPPEND 😊
Will Parkinson But it did happen
Godot no it didn't Google maps alone proves it never mind everything else witch is why I want him to do a vid on it cuz I'm tired of explaining it all to ppl like you who don't know
there's bits and pieces of it in some of his older vids, but I would like to see one specifically on it too....
And no, godot....exodus did NOT happen as described in Exodus...the closest you get is the Expulsion of the Hyksos, were FORCED OUT, the Hyksos were not slaves, they did not cross the Red Sea when someone parted the waters, and tens of thousands of them did not wander for 40 years in the desert of the Sinai...
There are other impossibilities -- with as many people as were said, you could form a line, allowing each person a modest "space" in line of about 3', and it would reach from present day Cairo, to the mountain said to be where Moses received the commandments.....and have enough people left over to make it 4 people across....
Ramses II was a very hard-hitting pharoah....egypt at the time STILL HELD the entire Sinai...given his previous military record, Ramses II would have rally up remaining troops, pulling in other garrisons, and chased Moses and his followers relentlessly....and yet, despite still being Egyptian held lands, they never meet another Egyptian in their 40 years.
Later events, show the campaigns of Joshua.....more problems. several of the cities they "sacked", (notably, Jericho & Ai) WERE ALREADY EMPTY RUINS and had been for centuries. Still other cities (Ezion, Geber, Arad, Heshbon, Kdesh Barnea) they supposedly conquered, DID NOT YET EXIST.
Difficult to explain for "god-protected" texts......but pretty understandable if you recognize that when Exodus and the later stories were written during the Babylonian captivity, centuries later, when Jericho was still a ruin, but no one remembered when it had been abandoned, and the other cities DID exist, but were old enough to be easily "claimed" as part of a cobbled-together narrative the priests in exile were trying to create for the Jewish people.....
I was going to make a similar point to yours, but with a slight addition. The Hyksos were kicked out by the Pharaoh Ahmose I; the name which means born of the Moon god Yah. Now I stress that this is pure speculation on my part, but Yaweh was a Midianite god which had nothing to do with the early Hebrews, whose pantheon was led by El, but Abraham was known to have worshipped Shamash (the Sun god) and Sin (the Moon god), with Sin being the more dominant deity. Whether there is an etymological link between Sin and Sinai, I cannot say, but I sometimes wonder if Yahweh (bearing in mind all we have is the tetragram YHWH which could have any pronunciation), and Yah are one of the same.
Also, what I find curious is the name Moses. The suffix moses as in Rameses, Thutmoses, Dedumose, Kamose, etc, means "born of". So. Moses? Born of....what? The name as it stands does not make sense.
Yes, I reckon that there was some historicity in the Book of Exodus, only it was rewritten and twisted in order to push its polemic against the Egyptians.
Having said that, I could well be whistling in the "Sea of Reeds"
But it is possibly food for thought.
if you want to get real research instead of aaron's propagandistic crap, watch graham hanckocks lecture to learn if there was a global flood or not. in fact there was three of them.
The Tower of Babel myth comes right after the Noah's flood myth in the bible because the writers were now stuck with the problem of why people all over the world speak different languages if they're all Noah's descendants - members of one big family . When you tell one big lie then you have to start adding more and more lies to support the first one !
Is that a fact! Wow. An expert, or were you there?
Sorry Gab, here is *Irrefutable Miraculous proof of the supernatural and Jesus the God of the Bible*
Based on 10yrs as an apologist, I doubt staunch deniers are in any way willing to follow the evidence where it leads , even if Jesus tapped them on the shoulder. Jesus was rejected by some of his closest followers, why would that be any different now? But here it is:
Latest science on the *Shroud of Turin.* (the most studied artifact in human history)
Anyone with an intelligent, open mind who watches the latest studies and admissions by the original STRP team on this ancient relic could not help but be overcome with wonder and awe. *New technology* on the Shroud including latest radiometric dating of the linen compared with the 14th century cotton repairs, forensic analysis of the blood constituents indicating extreme trauma, micro analysis of pollen related specifically to Palestine. The complete absence of any pigments or paint, the inability of modern technology to recreate the negative 3D image on the shroud, an image so fine that it had only penetrated the very outer fibre of the thread, contamination from its many displays over the centuries in its journey to Turin, Italy. Then we have the alignment of blood with the 300+ wounds (scourging) depicted in the Gospels The post mortem flow of blood, particularly from the crown to the nape of the neck indicating the prone position of the body.
*The latest research using the best technology of the 21st century proves beyond any doubt that it is the burial cloth of Christ.* ruclips.net/video/cpaZcVagTFk/видео.html But it could never be sufficient to convert the closeminded unconvertible cynics and career atheists whose hedonistic lifestyle and ego CS Lewis said "has locked the gates of hell behind him."
BTW, our faith doesnt rise or fall on the authenticity or otherwise of this amazing relic but I can well understand why staunch deniers and cynics dread that it is GENUINE. *This evidence involving 1000s of hours study for what seems undeniably to be the burial cloth of Christ will never be admitted by a cynic* and his unwavering faith and obvious obsession with his naturalistic worldview.
The truth of Christianity on the other hand, doesn’t rise or fall on one ancient relic. To that end, the Church has been keen for science to confirm or refute one way or the other, its authenticity. Even if all the evidence points to it being the burial cloth of Christ deniers will always convince themselves that it couldn’t be. That would be ego destroying and a complete paradigm shift in many ways. An atheist funded study of a cloth placed on a mannequin recently claimed not surprising that the shroud was a fake. Whatever that means? All the evidence (above) with the actual cloth has apparently been iginored
And of course the Biblical confirmation *_4 Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus'[a]head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself._*
Clearly the only valid conclusion is that science has confirmed beyond any reasonable doubt the burial cloth of Christ, but there will be nothing that would convince the closeminded cynic. *"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. ... but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God."* 1 Corinthians 1:18 ruclips.net/video/_wxaCUnC0Kc/видео.html&lc=z13bdtcyonmwcrb4q04ce5b4gwueej3z3y40k.1541374458650578&feature=em-comment

The best counter argument fr creationists is at the very beginning of the Bible: the OMNIPOTENT God created the world in 6 days, and then he needed to REST for a day.
(how Bible disproves the Bible)
jurban - as a young child just yearning for knowledge (ex: we had a dictionary that explained musical notation that just turned me on...so, I became a musician cuz of that book). I was so turned off to religion immediately just from the fact that this great invisible creator of my world didn't want us to "eat from the Tree of knowledge" ... I saw thru the sickness that first day of Sunday school. Christianity is the scourge of the planet. I so ran the other way and keep educating myself still even at 66 yrs old. never surrender to the lies of christianity.
Creating the entire universe, which is billions of lightyears across containing billions of stars with billions of planets around them: 5 seconds. "He made the stars also."
Creating a tiny dirt clod orbiting Sol in the Milky Way Galaxy: *5 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 55 seconds.*
the Hebrew word for day has multiple meanings, it can mean "period of time,". Look at long-day creationism and stop scoffing. Scoffing is for morons.
It's not about how long it took. It's about a need to rest by a being that has infinite powers, and therefore strength. Do you see a contradiction here?
All creationism is bollocks, long or short. Instead of adjusting theories to fit facts, they adjust facts to fit a theory.
re: "multiple meanings for "day".." claim. Try asking a rabbi about that.. in the Torah, it specifically says: "It was evening, it was morning, the first day"....

The Christian god is the penis and the Christian goddess is the receiver of the penis. They are the sword and the sheath of myth. The sheepfold/sheep gate is the vagina and the cattlefold/cattle gate is the womb (holy of the holies). Noah's ark/arc is symbolic of the womb of heaven (cattlefold). Cattle were taken into and off of the ark (Age of Taurus). The "death" of Moses marked the moving from the Age of Taurus to the Age of Aries. Aries (Joshua) replaced Aquarius (Moses) at the spring equinox. The winter solstice moved from Aquarius to Capricorn and the summer solstice moved from Leo to Cancer.

Not going to happen. If I was him, I would just leave the shithole and tell the morons who live in it to go fuck themselves.
[insert positive supportive comment here]
for example: "Get 'em, Aron!"
or
"your calm, low-key delivery really smokes it"
@AronRa the video is a few years old, but want you to know you (and those few like us) have likely saved my life. I'm an RN, biologist, and I feel constantly like I'm the insane one - surrounded by all this madness. From one atheist biker (one state west) to another, thank you brother - keep up the good work and activism you do so well. Also former law enforcement, it's disgusting how permeated with religion both LE and healthcare are as careers. Again, thank you for being a voice of sanity.
Incredible intelligence and knowledge here people! Aron is simply amazing and honest!
Thanks for uploading this, you've been instrumental in helping me break out of a 30 year conservative religious background.
I'm still digging through all the data to identify concrete facts, but I'm well on my way thanks to your efforts.
slayer1am Can you explain why you broke out?
Excellent!
Good man. We're on the same journey. You're not alone. Keep seeking truth.
slayer1am , are you now a conservative atheist like me?
@@ratmgant Sorry it took me 2 years to see this comment, dunno why I didn't see it before. It's a bit of a long story, I'll link a post from my blog that might cover the question a bit better. slayer1am.blogspot.com/2017/09/my-path-from-fundamentalist-evangelical.html
NEVER GIVE UP NEVER SURRENDER ARON !!!
This guy debating the likes of Mike pence, would be like einstein debating nesferatus
Liked this video. Where is the “absolutely loved” button?
AronRa Rocks.
"Bible Science" from the people who brought you dry water, and diet lard.
Judging from the inescapable fact that we need videos like this to debunk nonsense, I'll bet I could go online and sell a line of flavored "diet waters". Are you old enough to remember the "Pet Rock"? ; )
I found your channel because I watched one of your debates on the non sequitor show, and while I'm from Western-Europe and as such maybe not a member of your target audience, I thoroughly enjoyed this series.
He briefly touched on something which deserves much more attention: flooding due to ice-melt after the glaciation.
Places which were dry lowlands for 180k years of human history, were taken by the sea over the last 20k years.
Everything that's less than ~120m deep today, was land.
Cities would have been at rivermouths. All the land around them was the breadbasket of ancient cultures, and the oldest we know of are recent, only remnants of survivors and others displaced.
We know that the last 30m to present day sea levels was taken incredibly rapidly, between 8k to 6k years ago. A meter per century, fast enough to be noticed over a lifetime.
At the same time we know that just about every major river system experienced apocalyptic sudden huge floods, scouring the bedrock and washing everything out to form sandbars. Evidence of these huge glacial ice-melt upland lakes is everywhere, and they all broke loose during the same time, some of them repeatedly.
Its no wonder we have all these flood myths.
Everyone 7k years ago either was or knew someone who was affected by flooding of either sort, and all the elements of the truth are there, they just never got the stories right.
There was no global inundation of all lands or great rainfall. There was globally, vast lands taken by the sea and probably many old empires washed away or land taken by the sea, and there were huge disastrous sudden flooding catastrophes aplenty.
Our understanding of human and protohuman history starts when we get industrious about underwater archeology.
All the sites above modern sea levels have been gone over. If there's word of whole stoneworks underwater, that's an old city site with no recent construction or pilfering. Think of what we'll find in their middens, or engraved structures or tablets or even libraries if any survive and we're very lucky.
Looking in from the UK there is something slightly amusing about a nation of biblical literalists. Except some of these "young'flat'earthnoahsfloodkillthemfor loveingsomeonethereownsexfivethousandfedbyacoupleofsardinesandwhichesbringonarmagedonsosomewhodiedtwomilleniaagocancomebacktosaveahandfulofbelivers"-ists have themselves in powerful positions ! There are a few in the UK but so far these people are looked on as amusing throw-backs of when we all went to church /chapel and were told these tales by a man with his collar on back to front.
But when the US sneezes British catches a cold.......... hopefully years of distrust in organised religion and our sense of humour will preserve us.
The US needs more people like AronRa not just for its future but for everyone else as well.
This is not just the UK, France (where I live) is the same, and so is pretty much the whole world, in one way or the other. Christian fundamentalism in the US reinforces Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East and wherever it's present, it gives validity to the craziest conspiracy theories all over the world (flat earthers, "the moon landing is lie", "four or five centuries of history were actually made up by the Church during the Renaissance" and what not ... AronRa might be fighting against stupid creationists in Texas, but it affects the whole world. It is very important work.
As an Australian we get the cold too.
Cenneth Adameveson Look to Oxford. The creation of irrational religions has been a method of imperial control. Stupid people are the easiest to control according to Imperial "logic".
Cenneth Adameveson Religious influence is still strong here in the UK as well, for example the continued push for faith based schools that are permitted to discriminate based on religion and the privileges these schools receive, like free school runs for the kids whereas in normal schools parents have to pay. Or all the Bishops in the Government.. What is that about? 😳
Man... what would the world be like today if so many of our ancestors hadn't lost written language? I loved this series, though. Can't wait to see what might come in its place!
Coyote Bongwater Imagine what our world would be like if everyone simply thought things through rationally, and didn't believe made up shite? It would either be spectacularly amazing, or make you want to find nice deep hole and then pull the opening in with you.
Not likely. There will always be people misinterpret sarcasm or entertaining stories as true. It's called Poe's law named after Edgar Allen. No not really. Who knows why they called it that.

+TickTock Toe, oh thanks. I thought it had something to do with how poe folks ain't got no time for that thinking stuff those city slickers are so fond of. :) btw and FYI before I go afk is that double negatives once were a way to reinforce a negative rather than counteract it. So they say it was during Shakespeare's time.
Coyote Bongwater tge Riman Catholic Church burned most of it up. Others are in tgeir 5 mile library of stolen manuscripts.
This is one of my favorites by Aron as it has so much actual History in it and solidifies the truth of what went on back before Yahweh was "Dreamed Up" by ignorant men who wondered where the sun went every night~!! Aron has such a command of The English Language and is a perfect teacher for us to listen to and absorb it into our memories. I hope he thrives and continues to teach The Real Truth~! 👍✌
I wonder if in a couple thousand years from now (if we even survive current events) there will still be creationists and apocalyptic revelationists awaiting Jesus' return "any day now" and teaching children that these ridiculous biblical fables as true and historical fact.
nobody on RUclips says it better than AronRa
Religion,
ALL religion is Mythology.
Ancient man's *pre-scientific* explanation for the world.
and then there's Mormonism...and Scientology
Yes science was born with the rupture for explaining the world with myths and metaphysics.
The scientific method actually came from the bible. Your welcome.
@@christianmotley262 And music came from the early church too. So what?
How else would EITHER have been funded at the time?
“Science doesn’t set out to refute religion; Science sets out to discover what is true.
Religion is collateral damage.”
(Your welcome)
The Bible has ZERO scientific street cred, fundie. It says stars can fall to earth like stage lights, space is a “firmament” (dome), humans were sculpted from mud, and doesn’t even mention germs.
A fact that, ya know, could have been of some use!
PLENTY more proof.
Now what?
@@jean-louispech4921 I suspect you’re agreeing with me but I’m not certain.
The use of myths/metaphysics as an “epistemology” never actually left us. THAT is the whole reason I feel compelled to defend science in the modern world, because the faithful still CHOOSE superstition over science and will fight to prove that using logical fallacies (a scientific litmus test)..
Are you saying science came about when myths no longer served their purpose? (Depends who you ask) OR are you saying science can’t explain the world because “metaphysics” are “supernatural”, etc?
Noah's Flood actually seems pretty lame in comparison to most of these other myths.
12:52 Best part ever. I think this could be done every single video AronRa makes. Nothing he ever presents is superfluous and every point in succinct and provable. Cut and dried, to the point.
Personally I like this series. I recently came out of an evangelical home and even though I'm an atheist now I still thought that the flood happened and that men had one less rib than women, I had never thought to question them. It's series like this that help give clarification for those who want to educate themselves and explore the truth that's out there. Thank you for what you do. :)
It's kinda scary. The US is the only developed country on this planet where a politician suggesting that Creationism should be considered serious and put into school book doesn't commit political suicide. I know no other country (outside the Middle East and some countries the name of which ends in -stan) where suggesting that religion should have any say in important stuff that matters, like law or education, isn't a surefire way to get laughed out the parliament and ridiculed for the rest of your life.
Russia, and some Eastern European countries, seem to be headed toward more theocratic systems of government. Quite how Russia, which is religiously diverse, can square Orthodox Christianity setting rules for the entire nation hasn’t been explained.
Jonathan Jansen you lost all credibility with the Tower of Babel Myth. That is unless you can provide any real evidence that a tower built by primitives with primitive tools and materials could reach space without toppling over. Much less all of the magic taking place in that story. Also really? So if someone never heard of the concept of the Christian God they'd magically know? Ok then
I don't see why either evaluation or creationism should be tough in schools. Neither one can be proven to real scientific standards, you know stuff like observable, tested in a lab with repeatable test. and think of all the time wasted studying that stuff that could be used for some thing like plant life.
@Jonathan Jansen; Oh. I agree, There is only one witness to creation but none for evaluation. Besides AronRa does not believe in God so he looks for evidence that supports what he wants and will any thing questionable or open to interpretation he will use it in that frame work. The material that he uses to disprove here is used others to prove it. The premise is that the flood was so dramatic that stories were told about it but they changed over the years. However he quickly makes a statement "every one knows..." this is clearly begging the question. It is like the Emperor New Clothes as soon as you say that then no one wants to admit that don't agree because then they would look stupid when they are being manipulated. Then he goes into this thing about how many leaders believe in the flood. Now is he saying that unless you think like he does you are not qualified to hold public office? Is he saying that if a City council who thinks the flood happened can not decide about a zoning law? Is he saying that only Atheist should be in government? Does he not realize that it would be the 1500 all over again?
@@stephenodell9688
Jonathan Jansen
You're both idiots.
He explained how a factual event became a legend became a myth became a part of religion (which is just myths that people somehow still believe). He explained how "No, not everyone 'knows' this, otherwise we wouldn't have these guys in almost every political office." He doesn't state that there's no god and give evidence (you can't prove a negative), but he does present evidence on why the myth of Noah's Flood is just a derivative of another flood myth.
You guys don't care, because, as you say, you're already making the claim. You also refuse any evidence to the contrary.
Not only that, you completely missed the warning of how the collapse of an empire led to educational standards being lost, leading to illiteracy, leading to the loss of knowledge that brought everyone back down to goat-herding levels.
You wanna talk about our world going back to 1500? Do you know what got us there in the first place? The Christian religion.
How are all these cultures telling these stories if they're supposed to be dead?
Does that make them " ghost stories" LMFAO
@@tyrionlannister9273 such a bad joke but I laughed way too hard 😂👍

Couldn't resist.
I went to Mexico once and went to a church while sightseeing and there was so much gold in there that it made me think: "why dont they sell the gold to help the pore and starving", they could use it to teach them to take care of themselves and get them started

Great presentation! Thanks to the entire production crew and researchers.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have listened to AronRa tell this story numerous times but I always come back for a refresher course and to drive what he states into my old feeble mind so I can keep the facts strait. I really enjoy his narrative excellence and he is a wealth of knowledge.
Fantastic series, beautifully presented, explained simply enough for the less knowledgeable.
Also, compliments on your music choice for the credits in each of your videos.
Oh yeah, and simply for the fight that you are bringing to people like Ken Ham and his menagerie of morons, I just signed up as a Patreon. My apologies I can only do the dollar one at this time but in the future I will be raising my contribution. Again, thank you for your input of logic and reason into this world.
Um.. Aron Ra is no different than a TV evangelist asking for money. He is not producing any groundbreaking material, and the persecution complex he presents right before mentioning his patreon is a slimy trick. If you really want to help promote logic and reason why not contribute to people actually doing that like Sam Harris, or Maajid Nawaz, instead of supporting pseudo intellectuals like Aron Ra.
The fact that he uses any of his time to refute the misinformation of those seeking to peddle lies by pointing out their erroneous claims so that others may see the deception in these people is enough for me to want to aid his work. I've seen some of the work Sam Harris has done and you're right, I should find some way to support him as well in his goals to help forward knowledge. I was not familiar with the name Maajid Nawaz so I looked him up and I thank you for pointing out another that is working to forward rational and logical thought to me.
He presents a work of art and asks for support so that he may produce more art.
This particular video is not an example of his finest work, his recent series on biology is nicely done.
Both Sam and AronRa are amazing men trying to instill some reason before the US becomes a Christian version of the Middle East. But for all intents and purposes, their work isn't exactly the same. Sam is a philosopher and a neuroscientist first and foremost, as well a political analyst and a critic. AronRa is an educator and he might not be a scientist but his vast knowledge on many topics is useful to those willing to listen, his main goal is to fight against the bullshit of creationists which are desperately trying to legislate their stupid and backwards world-views. They fight the same fight in the big picture, but on micro level they are confronted with different people.
Well said.
This dude disproved the flood so many times that the poor dead horse is now a smoothie 😂😂
Thanks for mentioning the Xisuthrus/Cronos version, it's the closest in description to the Noachian story, yet Gilgamesh is the one most people know (and is not a good candidate for the original when compared to all the others).
So Job is younger than Homer? I'd love to see Ken Ham's face if that was dropped on him in public!
