This is a very good quote but I would not go quoting Lincoln in regards anti racism. He was a very staunch anti black and anti indigenous racist. He was, in short, a white nationalist.
He also has been quoted as saying that if he could have resolved the issue without freeing the slaves, he would have. He did not believe in equality for black people. Unfortunately.
Liberals are so virtuous. I liked when they set up their snitch lines and forced people to take experimental injections because the government told them to. Also, paper and cloth masks are highly effective against airborne viruses.
Also, that quote about slavery being a loving intimate, healthy relationship? 🤢🤮 I'd like to see him volunteer to be on the slave end of that dynamic! He wouldn't last a day!
As a historian (not of the slave trade in America, though), I have to ask if the "intimate relationship" part is based on the romanticization of sexual relations between masters and the people they enslaved, which were neither consensual nor romantic.
@@elizabethmoore3529it's either that or just the romanticised and entirely incorrect view as slavery as a voluntary thing that black folk *chose* because they wanted to be civilised and it was better than being a free man in the barbarian wasteland of Africa. Or both, could always be both
His idea of slavery sounds more like BDSM role play, not real slavery. That makes me think he is into things that many who listen to him would call "unchristian".
He wouldn't last a day in a loving, consensual BDSM relationship in any of the roles. He'd find a way to 🤬 it up, regardless of the agreed upon dynamics.

I was unfortunately taught from a homeschool curriculum that was heavily influenced by Wilson growing up. Seeing more and more people talking about him in recent years has been surreal. He is a vile person, and though I know he has no remorse or embarrassment for the things he's done, it's good to see more and more people shedding a light on all the harm he has and continues to cause

To be fair - and GG addressed this - many Christians do accept most science and make it fit in with their "faith" worldview. It's the Young Earth Creationists that really double down on the willful ignorance.
Doug Wilson was raised by an evangelist, and is the perfect example of religious indoctrination. He is walking evidence that religious indoctrination is not only effective, but can be dangerous.
The Big Picture 00:00 Preamble: Yech, it's YEC, or: _Genesis is not set in stone, only stone is_ 12:50 Pt I: The Age of the Earth 17:49 Fossils: Sports of Nature 19:05 Diluvialism 20:40 What's Up With Rocks 22:46 Impossible Monsters 25:58 Real Geology, _in your face!_ 27:49 Radiometric Dating 33:15 Pt II: Evolution 48:07 Back to YEC 1:05:13 The Eye (Hopefully i will complete the timestamps with future edits)
Genesis BELONGS TO THE JEWS. The Fundagelical Christians need to keep their mouths shut about what it says. Kinda funny that the several 'Teaching Torahs/Tanakhs" I have in my religious library have footnotes/commentary EXACTLY POINTING OUT THE FACT GENESIS IS LITERATURE as 'official policy' as far as they are concerned.
It's worth mentioning that the reason the eye is 'famously' not irreducibly complex is because it used to be the creationists favorite mic drop evidence of irreducible complexity. And so scientists were like "Hold my beer.", got to work, figured out how each step would be beneficial and matched each step to living organisms (as explained by Erika). And so most 'educated' creationists moved on to other examples...most of which then ALSO got disproven.
A bit of history. For a couple of centuries it was usual for sons of upper-middle class families to follow a common pattern: the eldest would inherit the estate, others would enter the navy or army, and others would enter the Church of England. This latter would bring with it a home and a relatively stress-free life. Such vicars (etc.) often took on intense hobbies - writers, poets, artists, scientists of all sorts. William Buckland is an example, as might have been Charles Darwin, except that history intervened and he never became a vicar. So - never assume that such people were any more deeply religious than others of that age.
It baffles me how people can rule “by faith” (by coping that when they die there is nothing through lying to themselves) in 2024 with all this easily accessible information. Even if you were brought into religion at a young age, you grow up and become an adult and still just decide to not question it? I hope people come to their senses.
@@mandtgrantnah, the events supposedly happened in the Stone/Bronze Age, but the Pentateuch was written pretty well into the Iron Age, probably being in its more or less current form around 500BCE or so. Likely none of the Hebrew Bible was written in the Bronze Age, maybe some oral traditions are that old but even that seems unlikely to me
59:00 -ish my favorite response to the mouse trap problem is the pitcher plant, nature already did it, and the way it evolved is pretty well known, but the way nature does things is significantly different from the way engineers do things. the pitcher plant evolved since it could live and survive without the ability to catch prey, then evolved it as a secondary source of nutrients, and since became dependent on it, allowing it to survive in it's niche of low nutrient soil. this is actually very similar to the evolution of sex that was mentioned earlier, since there's a period where transitional species can do both sexual and asexual reproduction.
It took me a couple minutes to remember who Doug Wilson is, and, as always, I'm disappointed he exists. But I appreciate you covering him nonetheless. It's important to talk about these shitheads and I very much appreciate your hard work covering this horrid piece of work.
Creationists cannot help pointing out things as counter arguments that are addressed in the first chapter of On the Origin of Species. They're things that Darwin researched and covered extensively and used to argue for the conclusion he came to, and then creationists come along and go, "but what about...."
As an autodidact my advice is to fact check yourself constantly even if you have formal training or education in a field. The rate of advancement in some fields is constantly falsifying things we accept as given.
Very little of the "science" I was taught in school has turned out to be accurate in the light of further discovery and research. From feathered dinosaurs to the complete debunking of the theory of race by modern genetics to how the electrical fields of eukaryotic cells work, modern scientific results are much more dependable, much more evidence based, and much less crude than what we were taught. There are still way too many assumptions in most scientific fields, but eventually the false assumptions will be replaced by actual facts and the assumptions that turn out to be true will be backed by valid evidence. So yes, regularly check what you think you know - some of it will turn out to be false, supplanted by better and more careful research results.
@@nycbearff Usually the stuff in school is just a really simplified version of a significantly more complex topic anyway. It's more about giving you to the tools to know the concepts, so that you can later deepen those understandings and maybe even specialise.
@@nycbearff Properly taught, specifically to children through HS, science isn't about what is 'fact', it is about teaching the method of finding best fit explanations for observed phenomena based on evidence and experimentation. If you were taught that X was fact, then you had a bad teacher(s). Science has always been evidence based. I hope you meant to say that it is now informed by 'more evidence' instead of 'more evidence based' which is not the same thing at all.
I just wanted to say I love the video clips you sprinkle throughout your videos. I've been terminally online since 1996 and yet you always have several i haven't seen.
You are a gem of a person that you will keep at this. The unwillingness of these folks to read science books and just "think" drives me nuts. I hope you are seeing great success at changing minds. Your thoroughness is simply amazing.
I’m so lucky that even back in my church-going days, I went to a Science (big S) affirming church. When I asked one of my friends what he thought about the whole young earth thing, he just laughed and said “That’s for people who don’t know how to read literature.” Thanks for continuing to fight the good fight. I devour your content!
I was fortunate to have access to great public schools back in the 60s and 70s. Teachers would haul our butts to the Chicago Field Museum and Museum of Science and Industry. Graduated with degree in nuclear engineering. It's astounding to see the creationist skepticism surrounding radioactive decay and radiometric dating. The nuclear power plants I worked at could not have operated unless radioactive decay mechanism were thoroughly understood and predictable with mathematical models. This spills over to medical radiation therapies, atomic bombs, nuclear submarines, simple smoke detectors, and many other areas where radioactive isotopes are used to our benefit, including the benefit of creationists. We live in an odd world.
My goodness, there's something "specifically" comprehensive and satisfyingly generalized about this video. Erica takes your hand like Peter Pan to take flight and roam the dazzling constellations of ideas, facts and processes. After the celestial tour, I felt intellectually refreshed and mentally sharpened.
I really get the feeling that over there in the US you are seeing the emergence of your very own Taliban equivalent. Whenever extreme religion gets into power, then countries fail and fail very fast. I fear for you and the rest of us if that should ever happen.
You and Owen Morgan/Telltale posted a video about this guy within 24 hours of one another. Holy crap. He's got some really messed up takes, I'm looking very forward to watching your video on this now.
I just want to say that I learned a LOT from this video, and it was so interesting! I couldn't care less about Doug Wilson or creationism, but it was fun to hear about the findings and examples of evolution in a deeper way than I had before. :D
Erika, you bring up dozens of well researched, undeniable, rock solid pieces of evidence for the old earth that make it look like only the most backwards and self-deceiving - some would say unintelligent - people would believe in a young earth. But have you considered: MIRACLES! I rest my case.
Just yesterday, I double checked this channel to make sure I hadn’t missed notifications for any videos… I was really hoping you’d put something out soon. Wish granted! Thank you!❤
Less than five and a half minutes in, and you've already made me laugh so hard that I've tried twice to like the video...only to see that I already had.
Just another Christian chiming in to say if you ever thought that you might never change anyone's mind about things like YEC, you definitely might. Personally, it led me to humanistic Christianity. And that move followed me to being much more liberal, overall. Not every deconstruction project lands in the same place, but it did move me away from a worldview that put benevolent atheists on the wrong side of morality and malignant Christians on the good side.
Morning Erika. I had the good fortune to learn stratigraphy and the underlying principles of evolution from Dr. A.C. Scott, a palaeobotanist, a devout Christian an a man of intellectual integrity. The problem lies not with Christians, but with insecure people whose 'beliefs' compensate for a collective inferiority complex of biblical proportions. Love the shirt. Natural History Museum, South Kensington?
My natural environment: A hospital, my bed in my home. I don't seem to do so well outside either of these environments. I'm told that if I try to get anyone to take me somewhere else, I will die. It doesn't keep me from wishing. But holding a kitten is as much of a dream as coming face to face with an australopithecine. Both would be wonderful, and neither will ever happen. Still, I love life, and find it well worth living. I would also like to go to college and study one of the wealth of subjects they have to offer. That is also a dream, but I can try to learn as much as I can, by reading, and by learning from people who have had the fortune to study at university, such as Erika, the Gutsick Gibbon. I don't know that I understand it all, or even a reasonable tiny amount. But I'm trying. I know it makes a lot more sense than most of the world's religions do. Even the hospital holy men don't want anything to do with you if you don't have money, are not related to someone living who has money, and if a lot of your biology doesn't match up with what their ancient books tell them. That's the diference between the holy men and the men of science. That I don't match up with how their books say a person should be is makes me of great interest to them. They want to figure me out biologically, while the holy men just want to ignore my existance.
Phenomenal video Erika! Can not wait for part 2. I hope you know how much you're appreciated for sharing your wealth of knowledge in these videos. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
That Augustine idea that the 7th day is still in progress profoundly affected me. Didn’t even know that was a possible interpretation. This is the damage that biblical literalism does, it dampens and crushes metaphor and meaning and turns a painting in color into an inflammatory greyscale newspaper photo
"The old guard is stubbornly adhering to the old paradigm, don't bother me with the data" Are they hearing the words they are saying?!? Do they really not see the irony of that coming out of their mouths?
Damn... between you, Dave, Forrest, and so many others, I've heard a TON of stuff debunking YEC, but this video has a bunch of stuff I didn't know previously. Thanks Erika!
Thank you so much for referring to centuries as 1600s rather than nth century - that makes it do much easier to switch between specific years and ranges of years, IMO.
This drives me to distraction. Decades are referred to as 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, etc., using the same format to refer to centuries leads to endless confusion just for the sake of making it _seem_ a little simpler.
@Matt_The_Hugenot I cannot remember having ever come across someone using "1900s" to refer to just the decade unless they were listing decades or specified "the decade of the 1900s". Do you have examples you could share?
@@Matt_The_Hugenot It seems like it's very rare that someone says 1900s and specifically means 1900-1910. In that very rare scenario they go out of their way to say "the first decade of the 1900s" to avoid the obvious confusion with the period between 1900 and 1999. Or "the early 1900s" works too. When someone says the 18th century I have to stop and verify to myself that they actually mean the 1700s.

Your resume is wild, the craziest part is that you have time to run a full time RUclips channel. Congratulations on all your success. Your an inspiration to anyone who doesn't think they have time to do something that is important, but feels like they dont have enough time. Your killing it!!!
'Proudly ignorant' is a fair description of too many theists 🙂
To be fair - and GG addressed this - many Christians do accept most science and make it fit in with their "faith" worldview. It's the Young Earth Creationists that really double down on the willful ignorance.
Doug Wilson was raised by an evangelist, and is the perfect example of religious indoctrination. He is walking evidence that religious indoctrination is not only effective, but can be dangerous.
A 2-hour Gutsick Gibbon video?! Yes, please!
That's the first part of a deep dive??? Very yes please!

(Hopefully i will complete the timestamps with future edits)
The coffin of creationism is all nail. Genesis can go back to its intended use: as literature.
Genesis BELONGS TO THE JEWS. The Fundagelical Christians need to keep their mouths shut about what it says.
Kinda funny that the several 'Teaching Torahs/Tanakhs" I have in my religious library have footnotes/commentary EXACTLY POINTING OUT THE FACT GENESIS IS LITERATURE as 'official policy' as far as they are concerned.
It's not a coffin; it's a dying animal in the middle of retaliation.
How do you have a message that is two weeks old when this videos been out for only three hours?

@@dragonspartan9031 Gotcha thanks.
It's worth mentioning that the reason the eye is 'famously' not irreducibly complex is because it used to be the creationists favorite mic drop evidence of irreducible complexity. And so scientists were like "Hold my beer.", got to work, figured out how each step would be beneficial and matched each step to living organisms (as explained by Erika). And so most 'educated' creationists moved on to other examples...most of which then ALSO got disproven.
Well actually the explanation goes back to Darwin.
@@hedgehog3180 Exactly, he wrote a whole chapter on it, and creationists just quote the opening sentence.
A bit of history. For a couple of centuries it was usual for sons of upper-middle class families to follow a common pattern: the eldest would inherit the estate, others would enter the navy or army, and others would enter the Church of England. This latter would bring with it a home and a relatively stress-free life. Such vicars (etc.) often took on intense hobbies - writers, poets, artists, scientists of all sorts. William Buckland is an example, as might have been Charles Darwin, except that history intervened and he never became a vicar.
So - never assume that such people were any more deeply religious than others of that age.
Just an aside while watching, I'd like to express my appreciation for how much Erika has improved as a science communicator and presenter.
It is odd that people say they want truth, as long as the truth lines up with a book written in the iron age. Truth is the goal. The end.
The part they're talking about is actually bronze age, but yeah
It baffles me how people can rule “by faith” (by coping that when they die there is nothing through lying to themselves) in 2024 with all this easily accessible information. Even if you were brought into religion at a young age, you grow up and become an adult and still just decide to not question it? I hope people come to their senses.
@@mandtgrantnah, the events supposedly happened in the Stone/Bronze Age, but the Pentateuch was written pretty well into the Iron Age, probably being in its more or less current form around 500BCE or so. Likely none of the Hebrew Bible was written in the Bronze Age, maybe some oral traditions are that old but even that seems unlikely to me
@@BobbyHill26You’re right. The only parts of the Hebrew Bible definitely from the Bronze Age are a few parts of Psalms.
@@Vorcupine Some people do.
59:00 -ish
my favorite response to the mouse trap problem is the pitcher plant, nature already did it, and the way it evolved is pretty well known, but the way nature does things is significantly different from the way engineers do things. the pitcher plant evolved since it could live and survive without the ability to catch prey, then evolved it as a secondary source of nutrients, and since became dependent on it, allowing it to survive in it's niche of low nutrient soil. this is actually very similar to the evolution of sex that was mentioned earlier, since there's a period where transitional species can do both sexual and asexual reproduction.
It took me a couple minutes to remember who Doug Wilson is, and, as always, I'm disappointed he exists. But I appreciate you covering him nonetheless. It's important to talk about these shitheads and I very much appreciate your hard work covering this horrid piece of work.
Honestly, I thought the man had passed away.
I'm bitterly disappointed ☹️
I'm only 2 minutes in and when that whole time has been spent laying out the credentials, you know you're in for a ride.
And it gets surprisingly rough by the 10 min mark.
😩
WHooo! More Gutsick Gibbon content to craft to!!!
Creationists cannot help pointing out things as counter arguments that are addressed in the first chapter of On the Origin of Species.
They're things that Darwin researched and covered extensively and used to argue for the conclusion he came to, and then creationists come along and go, "but what about...."
Omg!!!! I've missed your stuff so much
Agreed. It is a shame that we get this wonderful group of lessons because of a ridiculous close-minded man.
I have been binge watching older video's just to console myself
As an autodidact my advice is to fact check yourself constantly even if you have formal training or education in a field. The rate of advancement in some fields is constantly falsifying things we accept as given.
Of course.... I could be wrong.
@@BrianStevens-y6hlike calling an archbishop an arc-bishop or putting subtitles saying John Fell (Biship of Oxford) instead of bishop? 😂
Very little of the "science" I was taught in school has turned out to be accurate in the light of further discovery and research. From feathered dinosaurs to the complete debunking of the theory of race by modern genetics to how the electrical fields of eukaryotic cells work, modern scientific results are much more dependable, much more evidence based, and much less crude than what we were taught. There are still way too many assumptions in most scientific fields, but eventually the false assumptions will be replaced by actual facts and the assumptions that turn out to be true will be backed by valid evidence.
So yes, regularly check what you think you know - some of it will turn out to be false, supplanted by better and more careful research results.
@@nycbearff Usually the stuff in school is just a really simplified version of a significantly more complex topic anyway. It's more about giving you to the tools to know the concepts, so that you can later deepen those understandings and maybe even specialise.
@@nycbearff Properly taught, specifically to children through HS, science isn't about what is 'fact', it is about teaching the method of finding best fit explanations for observed phenomena based on evidence and experimentation. If you were taught that X was fact, then you had a bad teacher(s). Science has always been evidence based. I hope you meant to say that it is now informed by 'more evidence' instead of 'more evidence based' which is not the same thing at all.

I just wanted to say I love the video clips you sprinkle throughout your videos. I've been terminally online since 1996 and yet you always have several i haven't seen.
You are a gem of a person that you will keep at this. The unwillingness of these folks to read science books and just "think" drives me nuts. I hope you are seeing great success at changing minds. Your thoroughness is simply amazing.
I’m so lucky that even back in my church-going days, I went to a Science (big S) affirming church. When I asked one of my friends what he thought about the whole young earth thing, he just laughed and said “That’s for people who don’t know how to read literature.”
Thanks for continuing to fight the good fight. I devour your content!
Love your content. Reignited my love for Anthropology!
I was fortunate to have access to great public schools back in the 60s and 70s. Teachers would haul our butts to the Chicago Field Museum and Museum of Science and Industry. Graduated with degree in nuclear engineering. It's astounding to see the creationist skepticism surrounding radioactive decay and radiometric dating. The nuclear power plants I worked at could not have operated unless radioactive decay mechanism were thoroughly understood and predictable with mathematical models. This spills over to medical radiation therapies, atomic bombs, nuclear submarines, simple smoke detectors, and many other areas where radioactive isotopes are used to our benefit, including the benefit of creationists. We live in an odd world.
And yet there are NASA scientists who claim to be Christian.
I saw the thumbnail and got a good laugh, but then I looked down and was shocked when I saw it wasn't a video from The Onion.
I deeply appreciate you shining a light on this topic. The anti-science danger posed in the upcoming election cannot be overstated.
Phenomenal. Such an informative video. I love this! ❤
one of the most, if not the most cogent arguments i've ever heard. very impressive; this one will go far.
I subscribed before I knew there was part two but I’m looking forward to it.
My goodness, there's something "specifically" comprehensive and satisfyingly generalized about this video.
Erica takes your hand like Peter Pan to take flight and roam the dazzling constellations of ideas, facts and processes.
After the celestial tour, I felt intellectually refreshed and mentally sharpened.
Specifically generalised. I would say, definitely maybe?!
@@tilestwo haha yep you got the idea :)

I really get the feeling that over there in the US you are seeing the emergence of your very own Taliban equivalent.

One of your best vids, looking forward to the sequels!
You and Owen Morgan/Telltale posted a video about this guy within 24 hours of one another. Holy crap. He's got some really messed up takes, I'm looking very forward to watching your video on this now.
I caught this fact too.
The work you put into this video...Fantastic.
Part 2 sounds like it’ll be a good time.
Spoiler alert
I just want to say that I learned a LOT from this video, and it was so interesting! I couldn't care less about Doug Wilson or creationism, but it was fun to hear about the findings and examples of evolution in a deeper way than I had before. :D
Erika, you bring up dozens of well researched, undeniable, rock solid pieces of evidence for the old earth that make it look like only the most backwards and self-deceiving - some would say unintelligent - people would believe in a young earth. But have you considered: MIRACLES!
I rest my case.

Oh yeah! A long one, I'm buckled in and ready for the ride!🎉
Less than five and a half minutes in, and you've already made me laugh so hard that I've tried twice to like the video...only to see that I already had.
The alcoholic cat clip caught me off guard I must say! 🤣
oh great! A "quick rundown" video, i'm so glad to watch it real fast
Well put together and excellent content. Thanks a bunch.
Amazingly comprehensive! You ought to seek out Wilson's debate with Hitch.

Bloody amazing as always, Erika.
Yeeessss finally! Something awesome for the drive home from work
"Those are relevant because I myself am a woman."
...wait, seriously? But I don't see a pink bow in your hair!
Just another Christian chiming in to say if you ever thought that you might never change anyone's mind about things like YEC, you definitely might. Personally, it led me to humanistic Christianity. And that move followed me to being much more liberal, overall. Not every deconstruction project lands in the same place, but it did move me away from a worldview that put benevolent atheists on the wrong side of morality and malignant Christians on the good side.
Morning Erika.
I had the good fortune to learn stratigraphy and the underlying principles of evolution from Dr. A.C. Scott, a palaeobotanist, a devout Christian an a man of intellectual integrity.
The problem lies not with Christians, but with insecure people whose 'beliefs' compensate for a collective inferiority complex of biblical proportions.
Love the shirt.
Natural History Museum, South Kensington?
Your Memeology is on point XD
This is my first time watching your channel. Exceptional work. You’ve got a new subscriber.
My natural environment: A hospital, my bed in my home.
I don't seem to do so well outside either of these environments. I'm told that if I try to get anyone to take me somewhere else, I will die. It doesn't keep me from wishing. But holding a kitten is as much of a dream as coming face to face with an australopithecine. Both would be wonderful, and neither will ever happen. Still, I love life, and find it well worth living. I would also like to go to college and study one of the wealth of subjects they have to offer. That is also a dream, but I can try to learn as much as I can, by reading, and by learning from people who have had the fortune to study at university, such as Erika, the Gutsick Gibbon. I don't know that I understand it all, or even a reasonable tiny amount. But I'm trying. I know it makes a lot more sense than most of the world's religions do. Even the hospital holy men don't want anything to do with you if you don't have money, are not related to someone living who has money, and if a lot of your biology doesn't match up with what their ancient books tell them. That's the diference between the holy men and the men of science. That I don't match up with how their books say a person should be is makes me of great interest to them. They want to figure me out biologically, while the holy men just want to ignore my existance.
Excellent video, Erika! Thanks for your thoroughness!
Hey, Professor! Was wondering what you have been up to for the last little bit. I knew it was going to be something good! 😮😊
Phenomenal video Erika! Can not wait for part 2.
I hope you know how much you're appreciated for sharing your wealth of knowledge in these videos.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
That Augustine idea that the 7th day is still in progress profoundly affected me.
Didn’t even know that was a possible interpretation.
This is the damage that biblical literalism does, it dampens and crushes metaphor and meaning and turns a painting in color into an inflammatory greyscale newspaper photo
Glad to have more videos from you!
I like how you uploaded this seemingly right after the anniversary of when Usher's proposed creation occurred.
Thank you for all of the information. I enjoy every one of your videos to the very end.

"The old guard is stubbornly adhering to the old paradigm, don't bother me with the data"
Are they hearing the words they are saying?!? Do they really not see the irony of that coming out of their mouths?
They do. The question is do they think their target audience sees the irony. The answer is no. Sadly they are correct.
“I might base my worldview on a 2000 year old book but it's definitely the scientists who are the old guard.”
Don't think I've ever sat through a 1 hour+ video in one sitting before. Excellent work

Yes and the ones who kept their religion separate were good scientists.
I love what you are doing. Keep it up. You are a candle in the dark.
Thank you so much for referring to centuries as 1600s rather than nth century - that makes it do much easier to switch between specific years and ranges of years, IMO.
This drives me to distraction. Decades are referred to as 1900s, 1910s, 1920s, etc., using the same format to refer to centuries leads to endless confusion just for the sake of making it _seem_ a little simpler.
It's used rarely, but if you say the first decade of the 1900s or the 20th century, you would be referring to the 00s. It's just how the words work.
@Matt_The_Hugenot
I cannot remember having ever come across someone using "1900s" to refer to just the decade unless they were listing decades or specified "the decade of the 1900s".
Do you have examples you could share?
@@Matt_The_Hugenot It seems like it's very rare that someone says 1900s and specifically means 1900-1910. In that very rare scenario they go out of their way to say "the first decade of the 1900s" to avoid the obvious confusion with the period between 1900 and 1999. Or "the early 1900s" works too. When someone says the 18th century I have to stop and verify to myself that they actually mean the 1700s.
@@somethingelse4424Actually it’s the year ca. 13.8 billion.
