You mentioning Eric and "straw men" made think that Eric would be perfect for playing the "Straw Man" in the Wizard of Oz. I can picture him singing "If I Only Had A Brain". 🤣😂
The most unrealistic part of this film is that Eric’s character got a job at a museum with a statement of belief contract AND and chastity/purity requirement and still shows up to work having no clue what a Christian is.
I once had to take a lie detector test to get a job driving a dry-cleaning truck. I would have been happy to lie about all that stuff if the pay was good. As far as knowing what a Christian is, I'm pretty sure their idea of that isn't much like mine.
@@hamletksquid2702 I hope that didn't scare you off from proceeding. Lie detector tests aren't even real. :-P Just answer their questions as you normally would.
@@CamdenBloke - I went to the appointment so the company would have to pay for it, let them wire me up, and answered the first question (What is your name?), then I stood up and starting yanking things off me. I'm not interested in working for any company or person that treats employees that way. I've also walked out of "stress interviews" where you're facing directly into the sun and two other people behind you keep interrupting your answers. Those were for better jobs than driving a truck. If a company won't even bother to try to appear like a decent place to work, why bother?
@@hamletksquid2702 Years ago I was applying for a job at a nursing home and they wanted me to sign a profession of faith. Uh-huh. More like uh, no. I was there to take care of the sick and dying, not to go to church.
@@harrietharlow9929 - I probably would have signed such a thing when I was young, having grown up in a Catholic family and even going to a Catholic school for a few years but never really buying any of it. It was just stuff you had to memorize for tests, more like "Yeah sure, I'm a Catholic" than anything serious. I wouldn't now, in fact I'd walk away as politely as I could.
The real problem is the casting. We've all seen Eric for years and know him. His playing a skeptic comes across as disingenuous. It's like casting Mel Gibson as a rabbi.
lol i don't think it matters who is cast. When the "evolutionist" is so easily swayed and so scientifically illiterate it's gonna come across as a bit dishonest.
I wonder what the crowds they attract are like? Do groups of atheists come to take a tour and laugh at the exhibits or do they bar such people from their establishment? I mean, that would be counter-productive since you're trying to convert atheists? How are you gonna do that if you deny them entry? How do they even check? Or is the park just for believers, supposedly learning about the stuff they already believe in? Maybe it's exclusively for brainwashing kids?
@@Jack_Slate There are several videos on here, of atheists going to that theme park. They do video diaries and generally point out how ludicrously inaccurate anything the YEC’s “call” scientific actually is.
eh not really its dumb and I dont like it but it does count as a museum "a building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest are stored and exhibited." religious stories count as culturally interesting to Christians.
Every time something embarrassing happens I have to pause and pace around the room to shake it off. I'm about halfway through the video and my step counter claims I've walked a couple marathons so far
Silly me. I genuinely thought it’d be just like the movie and the museum would come alive and demonstrate how God did everything. But no, once they get into the real material it’s just the same boring lecture creationists always give. And as bad as most movie parodies are, I’ve never seen one where it’s just the characters referencing the movie and making jokes that real people make. This might be a true story they decided to make into film.
It's because they are pushing a narrative using videos and cartoons or similar to lure children or young teens to be brainwashed into believing this creationist crap.
"Belief in Evolution", this is what's bothering me the most about creationists and other religious fanatics. They are so brainwashed, that they have no concept of "knowledge", everything is just "belief". "You have to believe, have faith". That's all they know. Science is just another belief system for them. They honestly think that we are taught to simply believe in the things science shows, because that's what they're taught about their religion. Blind belief and faith. It's infuriating.
You could say the same of the human variation deniers. Those, including the great Erika, who associate race realism with "Hitler." The leftist-atheist crowd who are Kumbaya, We are the World, and refuse to acknowledge that we are not all the same. Given the choice, I'd take a Creationist over a Race Realism denier any day of the week.
The YECs use the intentional tactic of saying atheism is a "belief" or "faith", do they can falsely present themselves as an alternative option. Keep in mind, they're real target audience is not science minded people or atheists, it is their own congregations. They are intentionally and tactically reindoctrinating their own flock with out right lies, quote mining, cherry picking and weaponizing ignorance.
@@ericdondero5810 more cringy right wing virtue signalling. We get it Eric, your on the right wing side of politics, you don't need to virtue signal it all the time.
Well, when you're so inherently dishonest as to recycle your dad's super-outdated, poorly-researched garbage, and try to pass it as your own material... I kinda imagine that you'd have to be a half-way okay actor to not crumple with despair whenever you tried to present it to any other living, breathing human being.
I think he's a notch up from "not bad." He was genuinely good at acting. You can say a lot about that parody video. But it was well produced and quite entertaining. These are not your grandpappy's creationists. They're getting well-versed and quite modern. Good for them. They're not the enemy. They enemy are those who deny human variation and do not recognize the huge differences in modern Homo sapiens.
33:40 That sounds like an idea for an interesting story. A primatologist is cursed to either accept YEC or be trapped in YEC museum forever as a ghost. Maybe the protagonist finds a way to communicate with the guests and teach them actual science. To lighten the mood a little bit maybe make the protagonist also befriends the ghost of one of the fossilized creatures that wants to be displayed in a real museum.
@@ps.2 ok then cause it was that one break from reality that totally threw off enjoyment of the movie for me since everything else was totally reality 😇
Not only is Eric referencing Night At the Museum with "Gigantor", but that original movie's use was itself a reference to an early 60s cartoon called "Gigantor". It's definitely fresh grist for the young kids watching.
My nieces have watched Gigantor and my 8 year old niece is a fan of Night at the museum. We have the internet and kids watch old stuff. That said my daughter wasn’t interested in watching anything more than about a year old when she was that age.
My best guess for a character from the 1800's knowing about Gigantor is that the miniature cowboys were manufactured in the 60's. That's probably more thinking than that movie deserves, I know.
@@hamletksquid2702 Well that or he wasn't actually referencing that character, but rather just using the name as a generic term for someone who's gigantic. "Gigantor" is a terribly generic name after all, I think it wouldn't be much of a stretch for someone to come up with it independently.
I see you spoke the truth there... You left out the "s" in the second to last word of your sentence... I hope those cells will replicate and heal your pain.
Insert Billy Madison quote here.....Mr. Hovind, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
I remember that MAD magazine actually did a parody poster titled "Charles Darwin's Night at the Museum" not long after the Creation Museum came into being. Unfortunately, the one scan I've been able to find of it online isn't very high-resolution, but it was hilarious nonetheless.
This is how all young earth creationists solve their problems. Everything is a miracle. Which means there is literally no way to counter them because any problem can be solved by magic.
You know, I sometimes speculate what'd happen if ex. a chocoloate bar is missing and one of their children is caught, err, seen with a lot of brown residue on their fingers and around the mouth. And claims that "GhhmdhmhhhGoddidit!" But then I guess it's better for our "eternal souls" not to eyewithness the following minutes.
When I was brainwashed by young-earth-creationists, the line of reasoning I usually heard was "If we can't take the first 6 chapters of Genesis literally, then we can't take any of the Bible literally." Therefore, I suspect that the reason the topic of YEC is so important to them is that it allows them to continue believing, for example, that men should rule over women, that homosexuality is a sin, and that they are an oppressed minority set against the "scientific establishment". If YEC is false, then the Bible is not meant to be the literal guidebook for our lives and society, and they have no excuse for all of their other beliefs.
Did you know that Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all Abrahamic religions. They all believe in the same God. The God of Abraham. However they can't agree on a doctrine and if one is wrong then they're all wrong.
When I heard you say the 2006 movie is 15 years old, my heart sank a bit. I swear the 90s were only a decade ago. What the hell happened to the time? I'm going on 30 and didn't even realize it
1st, I had to zoom in on your avatar, very clever. If you wanted me to think it was a Japanese mons pubis… mission accomplished. 2nd, god you are so right. I am as of yesterday officially in my mid 30s, and it’s hard to believe that this came out in 06(although I’ve never seen it, I remember it), although much less hard to believe creationists have a sense of humour 15 years behind. Sort of a North Dakota vibe to how up they are on trends (no offence). Erica did an awesome job at pointing that out.
I watched night at the museum after going through the Washington DC museum complex for the first time and have very fond memories of that time. This "movie" is blasphemy!
AronRa is one goofy SOB. His presentation is awful. I'll admit, he knows his human evolution. Like Erika, he's got his facts straight. But the obsession with attacking Christians is just cringe. The enemy today are the leftists, the woke crowd, the politically correct Nazi brigades who when they disagree with something, label it as raaaaaaacist.
YEC's love to bring up that one particular man who was kept in the zoo (I forget his name atm) but they completely forget that the man who STOLE HIM was in Africa as a MISSIONARY
As a doctor of ancient history, the whole 'what evolution leads to' is a bizzare take from a historian's standpoint: we only have to gaze at ancient history to see a plethora of cruelty and barbarism committed against various peoples for a whole host of reasons. Evolution as an idea and a science is very young for our species, and yet we have been able to commit great evils against one another prior to its arrival for millennia. What is also amusing is that violence has decreased dramatically over the long term (despite what various media would have you belive). So much for the wickeness of evolutionary theory.
The best analogy I have for this scenario is that one adult understands how Santa Clause works and another adult comes along and talks him into the childhood interpretation.
I once worked with a guy, who was a creationist. Our company got new software, called Evolution (for the finance department). He simply refused to learn how it works because he didn't agree with the name.
I'm going to take a moment and appreciate the the Avengers theme being played on kazoos. That brings back memories of high school when we played the Star Wars themes in band and in choir we had kazoos for a song. A handful of us would occasionally march to the Imperial March to math (the teachers joked about placing bets on which theme we'd play each day) lol.
The part where you’re like: “who we can only assume is his wife… or husband *wink*” made me literally laugh out loud. Such beautifully unexpected comic timing 👍🏼 @6:39
I always imagined hell to be a room with a children's flute choir playing ABBA songs, but a never ending visit at the creation museum is also a good candidate... Thanks Erica for making me laugh. Very entertaining, as always. Greetings from Germany
How about a never-ending Disneyworld line? You'd be trapped in the Florida heat and humidity of summer, mid afternoon with the sun beating down on you, with little children screaming and crying in every direction, barely any room to move, and you never reach the end of the line. Now that would be hell 😂
Ngl, I don't blame them for choosing night at the museum. Imo that movie has aged well. And it's absolutely the only museum themed franchise with any legs
At 11:45 . . . Adam is older than Eve , but Eve has hair that goes all the way down past her TATAS. Adam has his hair clipped and beard is trimmed up. SO , whom is Adam's barber ?
I have to hand it to Eric, I got a solid chuckle out of "Don't step on any kids." Other than that, everything about this movie is terrible and everyone involved in making it should feel bad.
I confess that I have a bit of a soft spot for Eric Hovind because every time I see him, I think of his father gleefully describing beating him for being afraid at the dentist's office, and worse, saying that he *wanted* Eric more afraid of him than of the dentist. My heart hurts for that little boy. It makes me think that maybe Eric came to believe and parrot all this garbage as a way to avoid further "attention" from his monster of a father, and if that's the case, I have some sympathy and believe he might be salvageable. On the other hand...Well, he peddles this BS for $$$, very lucratively, just like his father does, so.... I dunno. Whatever Eric's real story is, lying like this and refusing to learn (just like his dad) is not right, so I have to deduct some sympathy points from him. As for the "arguments" here...I love how they glibly think that the speed of light isn't/wasn't constant, as if that wouldn't entirely destroy a good portion of what we know is true when it comes to physics and the nature of the universe. Also, the "no apes have white sclera" thing makes me angry, and I have no idea why. It's not the only creationist "argument" that isn't easily disproven by a simple image search, but for some reason it's the one that pisses me off the most.
I totally agree with your assessment of Eric, but is he still peddling the YEC BS? I haven't seen anyone cover him recently, and his abusive father seems to have taken on Matt "Dr Peel" Powell as a surrogate son. If Eric was still around and prepared to support his father's BS, why is Matt Powell taking his place?
If Eric were to change sides someday and admit he was wrong, the atheist community would welcome him with open arms. But he makes too much money to give up the grift.
I love your videos so so much! My first boyfriend and his entire family were young earth creationists, and I was eventually bullied into that 'it's a valid theory' position just to keep the peace. Wish I'd had these videos 20 years ago, not that I could have convinced him to watch them lol
19:58 I'd like to point out that their "Gorilla" Lucy display has eye whites. Just saying. Or maybe that's just the lighting, but it certainly looks like there's whites around those eyes to me.
So when Erik hovind's face popped up I actually thought to myself, "and he even looks a bit like Ben Stiller!" So it was just very, very sad when he tried to compare himself to Chris Evans
Honestly, I think Erika would make a great ghost at the creation museum. Wandering the halls, wailing and weeping at the inaccurate exhibits, popping up to scare little children at the Lucy model with detailed explanations of foramen magnums and valgus knees, appearing behind Ken Ham and whispering in his ear that rainbows are gay and there's nothing he can do about it. Just absolutely torment the suckers. Edit: "Night at the Creation Museum" would make a great Cards Against Humanity card.
Excellent review as always. I did watch Night at the Creation Museum, and I did play the suggested drinking game, and now I'm very drunk. F in the chat for all the poor fundie kids who are expected to watch this abomination sober and unironically.
I can only imagine what it would be like to have you and Emma Thorne in a livestream talking about Kent Hovind. I'm guessing it would involve a lot of laughter.
To the films credit, he DOES only awaken at the end when he accepts Jesus and stuff, so him falling asleep is likely a metaphor for his remaining doubts keeping him from awakening from his materialistic slumber or something
Erica... Do you have a "go to" book on evolution that you would recommend to a laymen? I'm particularly interested in where difference species broke off from one another, and what that likely looked like. I was just watching your video about bananas. Makes me thing that we had a common ancestor with bananas at one point, and broke off. Doesn't make sense to me. Thanks
All living things on earth are ultimately related to each other. Bananas and humans are only very distantly related, but we are both eukaryotes, making us more related to each other than to say, bacteria.
@@schrodingerscat3741 I guess I have trouble understanding where (in that instance) the break off would've happened. What was the thing that would've broke off, and become a banana on one side and eventually a human on the other?
@@jayvansickle7607 Er, the break off happened before human ancestors became animals and banana ancestors became plants. I don't quite remember if that was before or after either group gained multicellularity, but I think it was before. Basically, our common ancestor with a banana was a microbe.
I second AronRa. but basically the way to start understanding plants and animals is, a bacterial cell is very simple, while Eukaryotic cells are much more complicated with things almost like bacterial cells inside - mitochondria and/or chloroplasts. because Plants, Animals, Fungi, and "Protists" all have mitochondria, we can tell they are more similar to each other than to bacteria and probably they had a common eukaryote-like ancestor that existed before mosses, nematodes, or modern yeasts. Visualise a rather vast diversity of microorganisms that all have a bunch of things in their cells bacteria don't have, to the point it's like, "whoa, Linnaeus had no idea how much there is beyond plants and animals, how do we even sort all these", but it's also very uncanny how this 'having organelles/plastids' thing is very consistent among them. This is basically what we find if we take microscope pictures from various bodies of water. a mess of ~17 possible categories of life where the distinction between "plant-like" and "animal-like" is sometimes fuzzy. Wikipedia has a nice tree diagram illustrating this, although the rest of the article is a bit advanced: wikipedia/ wiki/Eukaryote#Phylogeny said another way: you have to understand how a single-celled yeast is similar to one generic cell from your body before you understand how a human is distantly related to a banana. the transitional groups (the tree or "ocean sample" above) are mostly very small organisms.
Thanks Erika for all of your videos ! I discovered you not long ago this year and I totally enjoy your videos. You are enjoyable to listen, your animations is awesome and your level of knowledge is astonishing. I don’t recall everyone pieces of information you say but it’s so interesting ! Hope you’re having good time in the end of this year !
"Believe in our lies or else we'll lock you in here forever." Um, how would that convince anyone to truly convert? This fanciful plot is about a ghost trying to coerce someone into a cult.
That beginning animation sequence uses on of my all time favorite songs from one of the most amazing albums I have ever had rhe privilege to experience, and I am SO GRATEFUL to see such brilliant music represented in such an amazing way! Brava!
Erika, your the best at setting and twisting the knife. Your humor keeps me coming back time and again. Between laughs you always provide the lastest data. Thank you, and keep those knives sharp.
It's so surreal watching these creation museum videos now cuz it was such a big part of my life. I was homeschooled with AiG material as my science classes
"A light-year is a unit of distance, not time" is the physics equivalent of "A tomato is a fruit, not a vegetable." Everyone knows, but some people still say it as if not everyone knows.
Yes, please cover Night at the Ark Encounter!! It has nothing to do with the movie, though. I just love watching you dunk on stuff like this!! Oh, and about Shaffee's threat in the movie, you could just say like Eric did in the movie, "I'll think about it," act as if you've accepted YEC, then leave and never come back. What is Shaffee going to do?? Sneak into your dreams while you're asleep at home?? Nah, he'll be too busy haunting the next dude who falls asleep at the museum!!
Kind of new to your channel, really enjoy it so far. But I have to say, you knocked it out of the PARK with your intro/theme song and video. I’m sure you were like, hey let’s make a cool scientifically accurate kinda funny video with a good random song…but like, I seriously go back and rewind over and over to keep watching it because…it’s moving. Seriously it’s so so good. It kinda makes me want to cry! Keep up the great work educating our populace and disabusing them of ancient nonsense. But if it doesn’t work out…go into theme song production. Or tell the person who put that together (if it wasn’t you) that they should be doing it full time if they’re not already.
Notice how they use a caged human as an example of evolution being racist, but when they show that you can make Lucy appear more “intelligent”, they give her white skin.
25:39 I am visiting Percy now. The expansion of the universe is well understood. Why do you think Hubble was build? Spritzer was build? And why the hell was James Webb build? (I am going to do that a wee bit more as I have time at hand) XD Erika, your stuff is awesome!
One of the snaps cut directly into an ad. An ad for an English prof teaching a course on reading Genesis, from the bible, as an online class. I was shocked.
I was actually born in 2006 (I’m 15) and I have watched Night at the Museum at least three or four times. For whatever reason my teachers in elementary school used to play it almost every year when there was a pizza party type occasion. Why that movie? I have no idea. I guess they thought it was educational but funny enough that we’d actually sit and watch.
Even if we grant them the entirety of Genesis as literal and historical, and granting them all the other miracles as miracles that don't need a scientifically plausible explanation, there's still plenty of other things in the rest of the Bible that are either 1) historically inconsistent, or 2) internally inconsistent
My uncle has worked as a security guard for about 20 years and confirmed to me that you would never start a job without knowing what it is your guarding. You have to go through background checks, interviews, and walkthroughs.

"Night at the museum is an old movie" I feel personally attacked.
The changing speed of light argument drives me nuts. The speed of light is part of the Einstein field equations if you change the speed of light you alter the force of gravity.
Not to mention the most famous E=MC² - at the speed of light you'd need to fix the creationist starlight problem, fusion's energy output would be increased so much the stars would blow themselves apart. And it's in Maxwell's equation too. Change the speed of light and you're screwed with the permeability and permittivity constants. I don't know what /that/ would do to physics, but at the very least it's going to throw off electron interactions so much that chemistry as we know it wouldn't work. I don't know if they could even stay in their orbitals - matter might just collapse into some exotic degenerate state. A lot like the Hovind family.
@@vylbird8014 yes. For a philosophy hell bent on saying the universe was deliberately and finely tuned, YECs seem more than willing to suggest that one of its' key levers can be cranked on whenever it suits their needs.
@@BenjaminSteber It's impossible to disprove though. No matter how ridiculous the implications of their claims, they can respond to any and every criticism the same way: "God made a miracle happen." Changing the speed of light would explode the stars? "God held them together." Changing the speed of light would cause all matter in the universe to collapse into exotic material? "God stopped that happening."
@@vylbird8014 so god can change the laws of physics to bend reality backwards in order to suit his supposedly perfect book but chooses not to heal children dying from cystic fibrosis? He lost my worship.
I can’t wait to watch this when I get off work! I pity those who either love Kent Hovind or are burned by him but still buy into the same YEC crap. I no longer feel sorry for Cindi Lincoln because she still clings to the same notions Kent supports. This is even after Secularists came to her aid while other Christians and Creationists barely did.
I thought that everybody who works at these places had to sign a form declaring that they were basically creationists. Or are security guards somehow exempt? Not that that is the least believable thing about this ‘film’…
Gigantor was an archaic reference for Night in the Museum...it was 80's dubbed anime from 70's Japanese TV stock I think...it was a boy and his robot trope if I remember right...
I’m an anthropology major taking biological anthropology courses for the first time this semester, and I stumbled upon this channel and went down a rabbit hole of watching every single video. I absolutely love it. the sheer rage and spite-fueled work is just so entertaining😭
I'm sure everybody here screamed out the same "SCREW YOU AIG" when they teleported to the Ebenezer skeleton. This place really has way more than it deserves.
The funny part is that many android phones in the same price range have as good if not better cameras. iPhones just marketed into a form of social signaling so well that people see non-iphone and think "broke".
Thanks for your vids Ericka. The meme edits are funny and the science is solid. I used to be a YEC but i ventured outside of my cacoon and saw how both biblical and scientific scholarship refutes YEC completely. This channel makes me feel nice compared to the YEC Christian circles I frequent since I still follow Yeshua. Im working hard to find a community of believers that aren't still trapped in YEC but that's pretty difficult where I live. Fundamentalist baptist is the only game in town :o|
these AiG videos are incredibly therapeutic for me. so as much as i hate to ask you to sacrifice the brain cells, i’d personally love a Night at The Ark Encounter review. AiG was the main source of YEC propaganda in my youth so watching your take-downs is doing wonders for my inner child. your full museum review has become a bit of a comfort watch. thank you for all you do!!!
I would check Africa if I were you. I've heard of a case of people eating grass because their preacher told them to. People being exploited like this is rampant there it seems.

Two approaches couldn't be more different. If science finds unexpected results the model changes, real truth seekers would never plead for a miracle when reality contradicts you.
26:45 There's a problem here - he appears to accept that the universe is roughly the size modern astronomers say, but then says that this only proves that 'a big god, a very powerful god, made something like this'. This is a huge admission - if the universe had been the size and shape described in the Bible (a semispherical dome comprising the East Mediterranean centred on Jerusalem and set on pillars over a primordial ocean and with mechanical windows to admit rain) he would say that it reflected the authors' inspiration (though other Ancient Near East cultures had the same 'half-bowl' view of the cosmos). Since it is almost incomprehensibly larger, operates on entirely different principles and is not noticeably centred on anything human-related, he instead switches to the proposition 'well, the Bible's not an astronomy textbook, science just provides how grand God's designs are'. Of course this is an exact parallel of the theistic evolutionist position. Decentering Earth as God's primary creation was historically even more controversial than evolution and could be argued to lead to undesirable social consequences ('we're tiny and meaningless, let's rob a bank!'). There are even creationists today who are more extreme than the Creation Museum and would absolutely argue the Earth is flat and the centre of the universe.
I am sure Eric would have had a very comfortable night at the Creation Museum, considering he had all those straw men to rest upon.

“Naked people? What kind of museum is this?” Has Eric never been to a museum? Ok yeah probably not.
The fact that they call that circus sideshow a Museum shows that.
The real problem is the casting. We've all seen Eric for years and know him. His playing a skeptic comes across as disingenuous. It's like casting Mel Gibson as a rabbi.

@@Jack_Slate
There are several videos on here, of atheists going to that theme park. They do video diaries and generally point out how ludicrously inaccurate anything the YEC’s “call” scientific actually is.
eh not really its dumb and I dont like it but it does count as a museum "a building in which objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest are stored and exhibited." religious stories count as culturally interesting to Christians.
Dealing with Creationist is like playing Chess with a modern dinosaur.

It's like playing chess with someone who thinks it's a checkerboard.

Interesting that spreading the "truth" requires so many lies.
I suppose if you get someone to strongly believe a preposterous lie, it severely limits the pool of people they are willing to donate their money to.

Have you tried just reading the comments?
Silly me. I genuinely thought it’d be just like the movie and the museum would come alive and demonstrate how God did everything. But no, once they get into the real material it’s just the same boring lecture creationists always give.
And as bad as most movie parodies are, I’ve never seen one where it’s just the characters referencing the movie and making jokes that real people make. This might be a true story they decided to make into film.
It's because they are pushing a narrative using videos and cartoons or similar to lure children or young teens to be brainwashed into believing this creationist crap.
Fundies are not known for a sense of humor. But then they're fanatics. I prefer to learn real science and learning in general.
On behalf of rational humans everywhere, your sacrifice is appreciated.
Oh Lord have mercy for what she endured, my you have strength for the sequels
"Belief in Evolution", this is what's bothering me the most about creationists and other religious fanatics. They are so brainwashed, that they have no concept of "knowledge", everything is just "belief". "You have to believe, have faith". That's all they know. Science is just another belief system for them. They honestly think that we are taught to simply believe in the things science shows, because that's what they're taught about their religion. Blind belief and faith. It's infuriating.
You could say the same of the human variation deniers. Those, including the great Erika, who associate race realism with "Hitler." The leftist-atheist crowd who are Kumbaya, We are the World, and refuse to acknowledge that we are not all the same. Given the choice, I'd take a Creationist over a Race Realism denier any day of the week.
The YECs use the intentional tactic of saying atheism is a "belief" or "faith", do they can falsely present themselves as an alternative option.
Keep in mind, they're real target audience is not science minded people or atheists, it is their own congregations. They are intentionally and tactically reindoctrinating their own flock with out right lies, quote mining, cherry picking and weaponizing ignorance.

Well, when you're so inherently dishonest as to recycle your dad's super-outdated, poorly-researched garbage, and try to pass it as your own material... I kinda imagine that you'd have to be a half-way okay actor to not crumple with despair whenever you tried to present it to any other living, breathing human being.
Yeah he's not bad. But like, he has experience right?
I think he's a notch up from "not bad." He was genuinely good at acting. You can say a lot about that parody video. But it was well produced and quite entertaining. These are not your grandpappy's creationists. They're getting well-versed and quite modern. Good for them. They're not the enemy.

That sounds like an idea for an interesting story. A primatologist is cursed to either accept YEC or be trapped in YEC museum forever as a ghost. Maybe the protagonist finds a way to communicate with the guests and teach them actual science. To lighten the mood a little bit maybe make the protagonist also befriends the ghost of one of the fossilized creatures that wants to be displayed in a real museum.
It’s incredibly similar to a book series that also has an anime adaptation called The Saga of Tanya the Evil.
😁
Surely they’d eventually become a poltergeist from all the bottled up rage? That could be a whole heap of fun.
WAIT wouldn't ERIC had to of signed a contract proving he was a YEC before he could even be a security guard?
*had to have, not had to of, but yeah, most likely.
I guess he could lie on his application.

@@ps.2 ok then cause it was that one break from reality that totally threw off enjoyment of the movie for me since everything else was totally reality 😇
Not only is Eric referencing Night At the Museum with "Gigantor", but that original movie's use was itself a reference to an early 60s cartoon called "Gigantor". It's definitely fresh grist for the young kids watching.
Gigantor is a flerf (watch Conspiracy Catz and SciManDan to find out who)
My nieces have watched Gigantor and my 8 year old niece is a fan of Night at the museum. We have the internet and kids watch old stuff. That said my daughter wasn’t interested in watching anything more than about a year old when she was that age.
I didnt see your comment and said the same thing basically awesome...it was after school staple..lol..
My best guess for a character from the 1800's knowing about Gigantor is that the miniature cowboys were manufactured in the 60's. That's probably more thinking than that movie deserves, I know.
@@hamletksquid2702 Well that or he wasn't actually referencing that character, but rather just using the name as a generic term for someone who's gigantic. "Gigantor" is a terribly generic name after all, I think it wouldn't be much of a stretch for someone to come up with it independently.
the only good thing about watching that "movie" is knowing other rational people have sacrificed brain cells watching it a well.
Shared pain is doubled pain.

Insert Billy Madison quote here.....Mr. Hovind, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”
Guilty as charged. Fortunately, the booze cabinet wasn't locked, and I am filled with the spirit.
I remember that MAD magazine actually did a parody poster titled "Charles Darwin's Night at the Museum" not long after the Creation Museum came into being. Unfortunately, the one scan I've been able to find of it online isn't very high-resolution, but it was hilarious nonetheless.
I have no fear of their film propagandizing too many people. It’s too childish and homemade to interest adults and too boring to interest children.

To quote Waldorf in The Muppet Movie: I've seen detergents that leave a better film than this!
This is how all young earth creationists solve their problems. Everything is a miracle. Which means there is literally no way to counter them because any problem can be solved by magic.
You know, I sometimes speculate what'd happen if ex. a chocoloate bar is missing and one of their children is caught, err, seen with a lot of brown residue on their fingers and around the mouth. And claims that "GhhmdhmhhhGoddidit!"
But then I guess it's better for our "eternal souls" not to eyewithness the following minutes.
@@qwertzundefinedapfel3830 oh, I can tell you from experience how that goes.
When I was brainwashed by young-earth-creationists, the line of reasoning I usually heard was "If we can't take the first 6 chapters of Genesis literally, then we can't take any of the Bible literally." Therefore, I suspect that the reason the topic of YEC is so important to them is that it allows them to continue believing, for example, that men should rule over women, that homosexuality is a sin, and that they are an oppressed minority set against the "scientific establishment". If YEC is false, then the Bible is not meant to be the literal guidebook for our lives and society, and they have no excuse for all of their other beliefs.
It's all about social control. Their entire religion from top to bottom is about authority and obedience, there isn't anything else in it.
@@LimeyLassen Finally someone said it
You know? I agree with them. If we can’t accept the first few chapters, why should we accept ANY of it?
Did you know that Christianity, Islam and Judaism are all Abrahamic religions. They all believe in the same God. The God of Abraham. However they can't agree on a doctrine and if one is wrong then they're all wrong.
"The correct interpretation of Christian doctrine is not, and never has been immune to change over time".

As a doctor of ancient history, the whole 'what evolution leads to' is a bizzare take from a historian's standpoint: we only have to gaze at ancient history to see a plethora of cruelty and barbarism committed against various peoples for a whole host of reasons. Evolution as an idea and a science is very young for our species, and yet we have been able to commit great evils against one another prior to its arrival for millennia. What is also amusing is that violence has decreased dramatically over the long term (despite what various media would have you belive). So much for the wickeness of evolutionary theory.
The best analogy I have for this scenario is that one adult understands how Santa Clause works and another adult comes along and talks him into the childhood interpretation.
@A2343 Wft is this nonsense?
@A2343 I’m not convinced. People have been saying that for thousands of years
I once worked with a guy, who was a creationist. Our company got new software, called Evolution (for the finance department). He simply refused to learn how it works because he didn't agree with the name.
I'm going to take a moment and appreciate the the Avengers theme being played on kazoos. That brings back memories of high school when we played the Star Wars themes in band and in choir we had kazoos for a song. A handful of us would occasionally march to the Imperial March to math (the teachers joked about placing bets on which theme we'd play each day) lol.

I always imagined hell to be a room with a children's flute choir playing ABBA songs, but a never ending visit at the creation museum is also a good candidate...
Thanks Erica for making me laugh. Very entertaining, as always. Greetings from Germany
ABBA isn't so bad.
Hell is an infinite long corridor with rooms where you occupy one each. Heaven is the same corridor where the JW:s walk down and knock on the doors.
ABBA !! Yeah that would be really horrible
How about a never-ending Disneyworld line? You'd be trapped in the Florida heat and humidity of summer, mid afternoon with the sun beating down on you, with little children screaming and crying in every direction, barely any room to move, and you never reach the end of the line. Now that would be hell 😂

I have to hand it to Eric, I got a solid chuckle out of "Don't step on any kids." Other than that, everything about this movie is terrible and everyone involved in making it should feel bad.
I confess that I have a bit of a soft spot for Eric Hovind because every time I see him, I think of his father gleefully describing beating him for being afraid at the dentist's office, and worse, saying that he *wanted* Eric more afraid of him than of the dentist. My heart hurts for that little boy. It makes me think that maybe Eric came to believe and parrot all this garbage as a way to avoid further "attention" from his monster of a father, and if that's the case, I have some sympathy and believe he might be salvageable. On the other hand...Well, he peddles this BS for $$$, very lucratively, just like his father does, so.... I dunno. Whatever Eric's real story is, lying like this and refusing to learn (just like his dad) is not right, so I have to deduct some sympathy points from him.
As for the "arguments" here...I love how they glibly think that the speed of light isn't/wasn't constant, as if that wouldn't entirely destroy a good portion of what we know is true when it comes to physics and the nature of the universe. Also, the "no apes have white sclera" thing makes me angry, and I have no idea why. It's not the only creationist "argument" that isn't easily disproven by a simple image search, but for some reason it's the one that pisses me off the most.
I totally agree with your assessment of Eric, but is he still peddling the YEC BS?
I haven't seen anyone cover him recently, and his abusive father seems to have taken on Matt "Dr Peel" Powell as a surrogate son. If Eric was still around and prepared to support his father's BS, why is Matt Powell taking his place?

19:58 I'd like to point out that their "Gorilla" Lucy display has eye whites. Just saying. Or maybe that's just the lighting, but it certainly looks like there's whites around those eyes to me.
So when Erik hovind's face popped up I actually thought to myself, "and he even looks a bit like Ben Stiller!" So it was just very, very sad when he tried to compare himself to Chris Evans
America's ass, indeed... 🐴
Honestly, I think Erika would make a great ghost at the creation museum. Wandering the halls, wailing and weeping at the inaccurate exhibits, popping up to scare little children at the Lucy model with detailed explanations of foramen magnums and valgus knees, appearing behind Ken Ham and whispering in his ear that rainbows are gay and there's nothing he can do about it. Just absolutely torment the suckers.
Edit: "Night at the Creation Museum" would make a great Cards Against Humanity card.
Excellent review as always. I did watch Night at the Creation Museum, and I did play the suggested drinking game, and now I'm very drunk. F in the chat for all the poor fundie kids who are expected to watch this abomination sober and unironically.
Not only are the kids going to love the Night at the Museum (2006) references, I'm sure they'll appreciate the Click (2006) plotline rip-off as well.
This video just makes me wanna go back and watch the actual night at the museum
6:34 its a museum in the same way that a looney toons wax museum is a museum. And even thats giving them a lot of undeserved credit.
I can only imagine what it would be like to have you and Emma Thorne in a livestream talking about Kent Hovind. I'm guessing it would involve a lot of laughter.
I like how accepting creationism is literally depicted as falling asleep
To the films credit, he DOES only awaken at the end when he accepts Jesus and stuff, so him falling asleep is likely a metaphor for his remaining doubts keeping him from awakening from his materialistic slumber or something
On an unrelated note, I love your intro!
Great video, props to you for enduring that atrocity of a movie for educational purposes!
Erica... Do you have a "go to" book on evolution that you would recommend to a laymen? I'm particularly interested in where difference species broke off from one another, and what that likely looked like.
I was just watching your video about bananas. Makes me thing that we had a common ancestor with bananas at one point, and broke off. Doesn't make sense to me.
Thanks
Aron Ra is on RUclips and he goes over how we’re related to other organisms.. or you could google phylogenic tree . Yes bananas and humans are cousins
All living things on earth are ultimately related to each other. Bananas and humans are only very distantly related, but we are both eukaryotes, making us more related to each other than to say, bacteria.
@@schrodingerscat3741 I guess I have trouble understanding where (in that instance) the break off would've happened. What was the thing that would've broke off, and become a banana on one side and eventually a human on the other?
@@jayvansickle7607 Er, the break off happened before human ancestors became animals and banana ancestors became plants. I don't quite remember if that was before or after either group gained multicellularity, but I think it was before. Basically, our common ancestor with a banana was a microbe.
I second AronRa.
but basically the way to start understanding plants and animals is, a bacterial cell is very simple, while Eukaryotic cells are much more complicated with things almost like bacterial cells inside - mitochondria and/or chloroplasts. because Plants, Animals, Fungi, and "Protists" all have mitochondria, we can tell they are more similar to each other than to bacteria and probably they had a common eukaryote-like ancestor that existed before mosses, nematodes, or modern yeasts.
Visualise a rather vast diversity of microorganisms that all have a bunch of things in their cells bacteria don't have, to the point it's like, "whoa, Linnaeus had no idea how much there is beyond plants and animals, how do we even sort all these", but it's also very uncanny how this 'having organelles/plastids' thing is very consistent among them. This is basically what we find if we take microscope pictures from various bodies of water. a mess of ~17 possible categories of life where the distinction between "plant-like" and "animal-like" is sometimes fuzzy.
Wikipedia has a nice tree diagram illustrating this, although the rest of the article is a bit advanced: wikipedia/ wiki/Eukaryote#Phylogeny
said another way: you have to understand how a single-celled yeast is similar to one generic cell from your body before you understand how a human is distantly related to a banana. the transitional groups (the tree or "ocean sample" above) are mostly very small organisms.
Thanks Erika for all of your videos !

Hope you’re having good time in the end of this year !
It's amazing to me that this had better cinematography and production value than Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas which was actually shown in theaters.
"Believe in our lies or else we'll lock you in here forever." Um, how would that convince anyone to truly convert? This fanciful plot is about a ghost trying to coerce someone into a cult.
Oh man, what content. Thanks for the videos, these creationists sure know how to pump out the garbage.
The "creation museum" is not a museum.
It is a county fair carnival mid-way side show.
And nothing more!

Oh, and about Shaffee's threat in the movie, you could just say like Eric did in the movie, "I'll think about it," act as if you've accepted YEC, then leave and never come back. What is Shaffee going to do?? Sneak into your dreams while you're asleep at home?? Nah, he'll be too busy haunting the next dude who falls asleep at the museum!!
I'm calling BS on Eric filming this on his phone with NO production crew.
Yeah that's BS. As bad as it is, it required more resources than a smart phone.
Kind of new to your channel, really enjoy it so far. But I have to say, you knocked it out of the PARK with your intro/theme song and video. I’m sure you were like, hey let’s make a cool scientifically accurate kinda funny video with a good random song…but like, I seriously go back and rewind over and over to keep watching it because…it’s moving. Seriously it’s so so good. It kinda makes me want to cry! Keep up the great work educating our populace and disabusing them of ancient nonsense. But if it doesn’t work out…go into theme song production. Or tell the person who put that together (if it wasn’t you) that they should be doing it full time if they’re not already.
Notice how they use a caged human as an example of evolution being racist, but when they show that you can make Lucy appear more “intelligent”, they give her white skin.

One of the snaps cut directly into an ad. An ad for an English prof teaching a course on reading Genesis, from the bible, as an online class. I was shocked.
I was actually born in 2006 (I’m 15) and I have watched Night at the Museum at least three or four times. For whatever reason my teachers in elementary school used to play it almost every year when there was a pizza party type occasion. Why that movie? I have no idea. I guess they thought it was educational but funny enough that we’d actually sit and watch.
I am addicted to this intro.
"someone help me understand what's going on inside my mind 🎶"
Even if we grant them the entirety of Genesis as literal and historical, and granting them all the other miracles as miracles that don't need a scientifically plausible explanation, there's still plenty of other things in the rest of the Bible that are either 1) historically inconsistent, or 2) internally inconsistent

The changing speed of light argument drives me nuts. The speed of light is part of the Einstein field equations if you change the speed of light you alter the force of gravity.
Not to mention the most famous E=MC² - at the speed of light you'd need to fix the creationist starlight problem, fusion's energy output would be increased so much the stars would blow themselves apart.
And it's in Maxwell's equation too. Change the speed of light and you're screwed with the permeability and permittivity constants. I don't know what /that/ would do to physics, but at the very least it's going to throw off electron interactions so much that chemistry as we know it wouldn't work. I don't know if they could even stay in their orbitals - matter might just collapse into some exotic degenerate state. A lot like the Hovind family.

Thank you for this, it really is very enlightening.
Nowhere on Earth are people so easily duped as in America. The Land Of The Gullible.
I would check Africa if I were you. I've heard of a case of people eating grass because their preacher told them to. People being exploited like this is rampant there it seems.
@@Jack_Slate As someone who lives in Africa I can confirm that the christians here do anything in name of there
god. Although local religions are also a bit wacky like the Rastas which demand that you wear Potato sacks as clothing.

Two approaches couldn't be more different. If science finds unexpected results the model changes, real truth seekers would never plead for a miracle when reality contradicts you.
24:27 light year is two things. Distance as in the amount of space covered in a year by light. And time. A. Year. (Thanks Erika)
I like the part when the "astronomy expert" implies light travels faster than the speed of light :)

26:45 There's a problem here - he appears to accept that the universe is roughly the size modern astronomers say, but then says that this only proves that 'a big god, a very powerful god, made something like this'. This is a huge admission - if the universe had been the size and shape described in the Bible (a semispherical dome comprising the East Mediterranean centred on Jerusalem and set on pillars over a primordial ocean and with mechanical windows to admit rain) he would say that it reflected the authors' inspiration (though other Ancient Near East cultures had the same 'half-bowl' view of the cosmos). Since it is almost incomprehensibly larger, operates on entirely different principles and is not noticeably centred on anything human-related, he instead switches to the proposition 'well, the Bible's not an astronomy textbook, science just provides how grand God's designs are'. Of course this is an exact parallel of the theistic evolutionist position. Decentering Earth as God's primary creation was historically even more controversial than evolution and could be argued to lead to undesirable social consequences ('we're tiny and meaningless, let's rob a bank!'). There are even creationists today who are more extreme than the Creation Museum and would absolutely argue the Earth is flat and the centre of the universe.
