There is a delineation between random mutations (copying errors) that are too slow to account for diversity and the random shuffling of alleles to form a new set of dominant and recessive traits in the genotype of an embryo. Further, these random copying errors in the genome accumulate and there are not enough for humanity to be billions of years old -- it fits a shorter time span of 6-10 thousand years.

I had a revelation two decades ago when I asked a creationist why he kept using such unconvincing claims and arguments and he replied: "That's only because you're not convinced yet." I realized that Creationists don't care about the truth or validity of their claims, but only how convincing they sounded. As a result, not only do they never even think of trying to validate a claim, but will also continue to use a false claim WHICH THEY KNOW TO BE FALSE as long as they still think that it sounds convincing. True to form, that same creationist continued to use a false claim (sodium in the oceans) on a new forum member despite having conceded it to be false when I disproved it to him.
@@CaptainAbmerica The various elements and minerals in the ocean are in equilibrium, not continuing to increase indefinitely. The figures creationists used were RESIDENCE TIMES, how long a substance remains in the ocean before precipitating out, but they misinterpreted that as how long it took to get to the present levels. Even Dr. Henry Morris (co-founder of the ICR, "Father of Flood Geology", co-creator of "scientific creationism") in presenting this argument briefly regarded aluminum's residence time of one hundred (100) years, vocally wondered what that is supposed to mean, and then disregarded it since that would mean the oceans are only 100 years old and left it off his list of residence times. This claim has been around since before 1980 and has been refuted repeatedly for just as long. And please note that it was enough for that creationist to voluntarily agree that it was false, though that didn't keep him for continuing to use it despite knowing it to be false (hence deliberately lying).
Erika, I find you adorably brilliant. Your humor infused with an incredibly high command of the English language make your posts so informative and entertaining. This is all in addition to your scientific acumen. Thank you!
01:28:31 I have to appreciate the fact that not only does _"Gish Gallop"_ come across to the listener as exactly what it is without them having to know anything about YEC or Duane Gish, but probably more than that is the fact that even creationists regularly (incorrectly) use the term as well. They've tried to fire back with no ammo. My favorite is the _"Dillahunty Dodge"_ which is when you directly answer the question that they asked, but they don't like the answer so accuse you of being as dishonest as they are. It's an aspect of what I call _Cargo Cult Apologetics_ where they've seen their claims get shot down, but don't understand why and try to mime the win.
this is why aig funds 'research', so that they can say 'research show' or 'scientists say' semi honestly. they have some qualified people who are willing to use their knowledge to fabricate whatever their funder wants.
The fact that apologist organizations, such as AIG and many others, have acquired Phd. scientists to generate pseudo science for the Creationist agenda is not surprising. It simply demonstrates the human condition that even a scientist with a Phd. can be corrupted with enough money. These apologist organizations are tax free religious organizations, the same as churches, and are not subject to IRS scrutiny or audit, so bags of cash move freely under the radar.
50:05 What gets me is seeing the audience listening and not suspecting they're being lied to and the fact that this is literally what she can see, she is looking at those people who are trusting her to tell them the truth, while blatantly deceiving them and telling them to NOT check the sources.
Ooh, the "read just the first sentence of an abstract" bit of dishonesty really gets my goat. It's like the truncated Darwin's eye quote business. Maddening. >.
It's simple. If peer-reviewed science supported the YEC hypothesis and biblical literalism - then that would be the position adopted by ALMOST ALL scientists. In reality, we observe that ALMOST ALL scientists vigorously dispute and actively oppose these positions. The initial claim is thus disproved by reductio ad absurdum.
Peer-review science supports YEC models and hypotheses. There's no reason to suggest that it would be true that almost all the scientific community would adopt it. Absolutely not. If a YEC is discovered in academia they are discriminated against. YECs do not get funding. YECs are lambasted in the media. YECs are not given charity. YEC directly relates to one's faith convictions, so there is more than merely scientific commitments and resistance.
@@wesleycolemanmusic YEC gets lambasted BECAUSE it is completely unsupported by the peer-reviewed literature. Have you actually read any literature on the subject of geochronology in reputable journals? I have.
@@wesleycolemanmusic the YEC narrative is no different to the geocentric or FE narrative in the levels of scientific denialism. It's just arguing with Galileo instead of Darwin.
Would be great to see someone just do the genetics math in a video. Who cares how many folks can follow it, but I think more folks than we think could.
All these Science v. Creationism channels NEED a math video every once in a while just for rigor. And of course to laugh at the math from "creation scientists".
@@chaotickreg7024 On my educational channel I just posted stuff on conditional probability. Bayes'Theorem is next. Hoping Godless Engineer watches and maybe a Collab regarding how Dr. Carrier's using it for mythicism.
Gibbons has obviously never done the math, or has and flat out lied to all of you because a human's genome is 12% longer than a chimps genome. Her "we are 95-98% genetically similar" claim literally can't be true. No matter how much she complains, she's still wrong!
I think the reason they try to avoid saying "it's a miracle," is because they know the appearance of scientific backing makes their ideas more appealing. The power and popularity of science is understood even by those who wish to deny its conclusions.
I think it is because they still want to get their crap into schools, and to do that they have to pretend it is somehow related to science. They're dishonest scum.
I think it's to insert themselves into the education system. They assert that they're the ones getting the science right, therefore they have a legitimate right to be taught in classrooms. If they relied on miracles that would mean their teaching religion, not science, and the courts don't allow that to be taught. But if they can snow school boards and a few judges into believing creationism is an alternative scientific theory then they can demand that schools teach the controversy. That really raises the stakes and makes debunking the creationists an urgent project to protect our education system.
The thing that is so ridiculous is one only has to be an interested amateur, such as myself, to see how problematic 6 day creationism is. There are human cities and civilizations that date older than 6,000 CE. Jericho date back to approximately 9000 CE.
Well, they claim that all geological dating methods are flawed and inaccurate. They don't really have any good arguments as to how that is possible, but that's their justification nonetheless. They can obfuscate all the scientific evidence that supports geologic dating methods by misrepresenting it to their viewers, but there's no way to explain how the most essential and profitable industry in the word (fossil fuel industry) manages to reliably supply oil and gas to us without any method to predict where fossil fuel deposits are. They would have to resort to a global conspiracy involving every person who works in the fossil fuel industry, so instead, they just refuse to answer any questions about it and avoid the topic entirely.
I've never seen Lying For Jesus as a tactic worth pursuing. Why would anyone want to be persuaded by someone who has no integrity?

Subscribed to these two fine channels to show them the love they deserve. Thank you very much again, Ericka for alerting us to these fine gentlemen, and for another great video.
So it's particularly fun when they make a claim that involves god being deceptive - can't imagine asynchronous speed of light coming about any other way, for example.
I’m loving that the ads I’m getting, during your video is for the Dismantled (not) documentary that you are systematically debunking. So your advert revenue is coming from them. That’s hilarious I’ve watched it every time it pops up. Watched in its entirety. No skipping the ads for me, not this time.
What's even more ironic is that the reason 'believer' ads often show up on anti-religion sites is because they know the latter are so much more popular than their own religious sites! So they figure they'll get more 'bang' for their advertising dollar by posting on these anti-religion (or rationalist/critical thinking) sites, even given the odds against any of those who frequent such sites following up their ads are HUGE! 🤣
42:10 I might be off the mark here, but I have a hypothesis on why they didn’t want to make it excessively clear his involvement in GMOs. I would guess that the target audience of their documentary probably does not have fond opinions of GMOs. They could be hedging their transparency of his research in order to prevent that conflict.
Wow, I was very impressed with the discussion of the one way vs two way speed of light. The first time i heard of that proposal, it struck me as unlikely that it is indeed an unfalsifiable proposition, and I was half expecting to hear a scoffing tone that "of COURSE we've proven the speed of light is synchronous". But no! You accurately (as far as i know) indicated that the synchronous convention is equally unfalsifiable, illustrating a familiarity with the subject I did not expect from non-physicists. Well done. I award you one Van de Graaff.
One thing I appreciate is that where the creationists may have a point, you all do give them credit, but I don't think they would do the same for you and admit where you are right.

FYI, night diving does require a separate certification. But I wouldn't exactly call it impressive. 12 year olds can get certified for night dives. Most places won't even check an adult. So it's just, really pathetic to try and use it as a flex of any kind.
Actually as long as you have an open water cert or above you can go night diving but a specialist course is recommended for safety purposes but it is really just 3 night dives with an instructor so not exactly difficult if you're already open water certified
41:05 Dr. John C Sanford's masters and doctorate are stated to be in "Plant Breeding/Plant Genetics" in his resume. Looking at this publications his doctorate work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison appears to have involved potato breeding, for example Sanford & Hanneman (1981) "The use of bees for the purpose of inter-mating in potato" American Potato Journal 58:481-485. He was also involved in a number of cultivar patents for varieties of strawberry and raspberry while at Cornell. This is unsurprising since plant breeding is the main commercial application of plant genetics.
Dr. Sanford reveals an important, or should I say devastating blow to evolution. The human genome is devolving, as each generation mutations are increasing.
Its the dishonesty of these people that bothers me the most. I grew up with many dishonest people, so I have a special contempt for such people. You basically can't have a conversation with such people.
As a former Young Earth Creationist who used to follow ICR & Dr Carl Baugh, I do not really understand why AIG has boxed themselves into agreeing with the actual order of the fossil record & saying specifically which layers were created in the flood.
Oh, sweet, you've got it all on a playlist, now! I can play it all together, and catch up on bits and bobs I missed the first time. Yay! Thanks, you three! I appreciate this so very much! Give 'em hell!
Regarding Dr. Sanford being titled as Plant Breeder, I believe that there could well be a large crossover between the YEC community and the anti-GMO community, so they have wanted to avoid possible connections to GMO development.
A scientist investigates the evidence to try to figure out what caused it to be there. A creationist looks at evidence to see how they can make is support the conclusion they already have. For this reason there are no creationist scientists - there are at best creationists who are highly trained in a scientific field. Can we please all stop calling them scientists?

I loved the thing about Dr. Snelling hiding cracks in the folds of rock formations, because it brings up one of my favorite contradictions in creationist arguments. According to Ken Ham, there were 85 "kinds" of dinosaurs on the ark. But when were those dinosaurs fossilized, and when did they diverge into the 700+ named species known today (with more being discovered regularly, now that fossil beds in China are being explored)? Because, if I'm remembering correctly, AiG claims that everything older than what we recognize as 2.4 billion years ago is considered to be flood geology. Which means that ALL KNOWN DINOSAUR SPECIES were buried in the flood. Even CMI, who states everything below the K-T boundary is flood geology, would have to admit this. Assuming, of course, that they were actually willing to do something other than ignoring the issue by addressing each issue in isolation and refusing to look at the overall context. So yeah, that's just my thought on creationist contradictions.
My guess is they'd say they diversified before the flood, were fossilised in the flood, and then went extinct shortly after the flood. That way they can throw all the fossil taxa before the flood and all the current ones after.
@@Hailfire08 Problem is, that runs directly counter to Ken Ham's assertion that there were 85 dinosaur "kinds" on the ark. If they diversified before the flood then every one of the now 1,000+ (yes, the number has grown since I last looked) had to have been on the ark. But the whole point of using "kinds" is Ken wants to limit the number of dinosaurs on the ark. He thinks he can get away with 170 (85 pairs), but not 2,000 or more. To do that, though, he literally has to ignore his own teachings regarding the flood boundaries.
@1:36:00 that connections lists at the YEC sites is why I remind everyone about the "Kulturkampf" aspect of antievolutionist, which has been a core obsession with them for the last century or so.

For Mr Lisle. The more distant a galaxy is, obviously it will look younger because the light you see comes from further back in time. The only problem with the speed of light is that galaxies aren't moving away from us faster than the speed of light, rather the space between galaxies is expanding faster than the speed of light.
If you're going to make a claim like that, you should include the bible verses you're referring to so people can go see for themselves. As the old saying goes, "if I had a nickel for every time someone made the claim that 'it's in the bible' I'd be a millionaire"

As a huge Homestar Runner nerd, literally every time one of you mentions Dr. Tomkins, I say (out loud) "Tomkins, how do you be so short?" in the voice of the Teen Girl Squad.

Not the first time I've heard this before, I heard the same thing when I was a kid.
I had a revelation two decades ago when I asked a creationist why he kept using such unconvincing claims and arguments and he replied: "That's only because you're not convinced yet." I realized that Creationists don't care about the truth or validity of their claims, but only how convincing they sounded. As a result, not only do they never even think of trying to validate a claim, but will also continue to use a false claim WHICH THEY KNOW TO BE FALSE as long as they still think that it sounds convincing. True to form, that same creationist continued to use a false claim (sodium in the oceans) on a new forum member despite having conceded it to be false when I disproved it to him.
How exactly did you disprove the salinity in the ocean argument?
@@CaptainAbmerica The various elements and minerals in the ocean are in equilibrium, not continuing to increase indefinitely. The figures creationists used were RESIDENCE TIMES, how long a substance remains in the ocean before precipitating out, but they misinterpreted that as how long it took to get to the present levels. Even Dr. Henry Morris (co-founder of the ICR, "Father of Flood Geology", co-creator of "scientific creationism") in presenting this argument briefly regarded aluminum's residence time of one hundred (100) years, vocally wondered what that is supposed to mean, and then disregarded it since that would mean the oceans are only 100 years old and left it off his list of residence times.
This claim has been around since before 1980 and has been refuted repeatedly for just as long. And please note that it was enough for that creationist to voluntarily agree that it was false, though that didn't keep him for continuing to use it despite knowing it to be false (hence deliberately lying).
Erika, I find you adorably brilliant. Your humor infused with an incredibly high command of the English language make your posts so informative and entertaining. This is all in addition to your scientific acumen. Thank you!
01:28:31 I have to appreciate the fact that not only does _"Gish Gallop"_ come across to the listener as exactly what it is without them having to know anything about YEC or Duane Gish, but probably more than that is the fact that even creationists regularly (incorrectly) use the term as well.
They've tried to fire back with no ammo. My favorite is the _"Dillahunty Dodge"_ which is when you directly answer the question that they asked, but they don't like the answer so accuse you of being as dishonest as they are. It's an aspect of what I call _Cargo Cult Apologetics_ where they've seen their claims get shot down, but don't understand why and try to mime the win.
this is why aig funds 'research', so that they can say 'research show' or 'scientists say' semi honestly. they have some qualified people who are willing to use their knowledge to fabricate whatever their funder wants.
The fact that apologist organizations, such as AIG and many others, have acquired Phd. scientists to generate pseudo science for the Creationist agenda is not surprising. It simply demonstrates the human condition that even a scientist with a Phd. can be corrupted with enough money.
These apologist organizations are tax free religious organizations, the same as churches, and are not subject to IRS scrutiny or audit, so bags of cash move freely under the radar.
50:05 What gets me is seeing the audience listening and not suspecting they're being lied to and the fact that this is literally what she can see, she is looking at those people who are trusting her to tell them the truth, while blatantly deceiving them and telling them to NOT check the sources.

I watched that part three times
Creationists think they have to be sciencey because people are more educated and don't go just the "miracle" route.
More likely they do it because the sciencey words sound more convincing to the less educated.
This is evidence that science is winning. The enemies of science are forced to use the language of science to avoid looking like complete fools.
Ooh, the "read just the first sentence of an abstract" bit of dishonesty really gets my goat.
It's like the truncated Darwin's eye quote business.
Maddening.

If they didn't have quote mines they wouldn't have any quotes. Don't be too harsh on the Lil fellas at AiG and elsewhere.
It's simple.
If peer-reviewed science supported the YEC hypothesis and biblical literalism - then that would be the position adopted by ALMOST ALL scientists.
In reality, we observe that ALMOST ALL scientists vigorously dispute and actively oppose these positions.
The initial claim is thus disproved by reductio ad absurdum.
Peer-review science supports YEC models and hypotheses. There's no reason to suggest that it would be true that almost all the scientific community would adopt it. Absolutely not.
If a YEC is discovered in academia they are discriminated against.
YECs do not get funding.
YECs are lambasted in the media.
YECs are not given charity.
YEC directly relates to one's faith convictions, so there is more than merely scientific commitments and resistance.

Raises hand.
All these Science v. Creationism channels NEED a math video every once in a while just for rigor. And of course to laugh at the math from "creation scientists".
@@chaotickreg7024 On my educational channel I just posted stuff on conditional probability. Bayes'Theorem is next. Hoping Godless Engineer watches and maybe a Collab regarding how Dr. Carrier's using it for mythicism.
I do a bit of math from time to time. Nothing super complicated, but just to check to see if the creationist claims check out. They never do.
Gibbons has obviously never done the math, or has and flat out lied to all of you because a human's genome is 12% longer than a chimps genome. Her "we are 95-98% genetically similar" claim literally can't be true. No matter how much she complains, she's still wrong!
"The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it." -- Brandolini's law.
I think the reason they try to avoid saying "it's a miracle," is because they know the appearance of scientific backing makes their ideas more appealing. The power and popularity of science is understood even by those who wish to deny its conclusions.
I think it is because they still want to get their crap into schools, and to do that they have to pretend it is somehow related to science. They're dishonest scum.
I think it's to insert themselves into the education system. They assert that they're the ones getting the science right, therefore they have a legitimate right to be taught in classrooms. If they relied on miracles that would mean their teaching religion, not science, and the courts don't allow that to be taught. But if they can snow school boards and a few judges into believing creationism is an alternative scientific theory then they can demand that schools teach the controversy. That really raises the stakes and makes debunking the creationists an urgent project to protect our education system.
The thing that is so ridiculous is one only has to be an interested amateur, such as myself, to see how problematic 6 day creationism is. There are human cities and civilizations that date older than 6,000 CE. Jericho date back to approximately 9000 CE.
*BCE
Well, they claim that all geological dating methods are flawed and inaccurate. They don't really have any good arguments as to how that is possible, but that's their justification nonetheless. They can obfuscate all the scientific evidence that supports geologic dating methods by misrepresenting it to their viewers, but there's no way to explain how the most essential and profitable industry in the word (fossil fuel industry) manages to reliably supply oil and gas to us without any method to predict where fossil fuel deposits are. They would have to resort to a global conspiracy involving every person who works in the fossil fuel industry, so instead, they just refuse to answer any questions about it and avoid the topic entirely.

So they figure they'll get more 'bang' for their advertising dollar by posting on these anti-religion (or rationalist/critical thinking) sites, even given the odds against any of those who frequent such sites following up their ads are HUGE! 🤣

"Creation science" now there's an oxymoron.
42:10 I might be off the mark here, but I have a hypothesis on why they didn’t want to make it excessively clear his involvement in GMOs. I would guess that the target audience of their documentary probably does not have fond opinions of GMOs. They could be hedging their transparency of his research in order to prevent that conflict.
Wow, I was very impressed with the discussion of the one way vs two way speed of light. The first time i heard of that proposal, it struck me as unlikely that it is indeed an unfalsifiable proposition, and I was half expecting to hear a scoffing tone that "of COURSE we've proven the speed of light is synchronous". But no! You accurately (as far as i know) indicated that the synchronous convention is equally unfalsifiable, illustrating a familiarity with the subject I did not expect from non-physicists.
Well done. I award you one Van de Graaff.

41:05 Dr. John C Sanford's masters and doctorate are stated to be in "Plant Breeding/Plant Genetics" in his resume. Looking at this publications his doctorate work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison appears to have involved potato breeding, for example Sanford & Hanneman (1981) "The use of bees for the purpose of inter-mating in potato" American Potato Journal 58:481-485. He was also involved in a number of cultivar patents for varieties of strawberry and raspberry while at Cornell. This is unsurprising since plant breeding is the main commercial application of plant genetics.
Dr. Sanford reveals an important, or should I say devastating blow to evolution. The human genome is devolving, as each generation mutations are increasing.
American Potato Journal is exactly where I would expect Sanford to be publishing.

your intro is perfect, I love it, I've sought it out for its own merits.
Regarding Dr. Sanford being titled as Plant Breeder, I believe that there could well be a large crossover between the YEC community and the anti-GMO community, so they have wanted to avoid possible connections to GMO development.
I can confirm I grew up in that insanity and they’re the cure autism with goat milk crowd a lot of the time🙄
It's kinda fun watching these three geeking out so enthusiastically.
A scientist investigates the evidence to try to figure out what caused it to be there. A creationist looks at evidence to see how they can make is support the conclusion they already have. For this reason there are no creationist scientists - there are at best creationists who are highly trained in a scientific field. Can we please all stop calling them scientists?
When it comes to contradictory solutions for the same problems, it goes back to the old saw that one of the best reasons to tell the truth is because it's so much easier than trying to remember all your lies.

I'm ready to see Dr Dan "dismantle" the book Traced. I found out my parents have a copy
So I was raised/homeschooled in YEC, and iirc Back 2 Genesis is a production company affiliated with AIG who sells their video materials at homeschool fairs. I remember looking at their booth at my state’s homeschool fair back in 2004-ish.
I loved the thing about Dr. Snelling hiding cracks in the folds of rock formations, because it brings up one of my favorite contradictions in creationist arguments.
According to Ken Ham, there were 85 "kinds" of dinosaurs on the ark. But when were those dinosaurs fossilized, and when did they diverge into the 700+ named species known today (with more being discovered regularly, now that fossil beds in China are being explored)?
Because, if I'm remembering correctly, AiG claims that everything older than what we recognize as 2.4 billion years ago is considered to be flood geology. Which means that ALL KNOWN DINOSAUR SPECIES were buried in the flood. Even CMI, who states everything below the K-T boundary is flood geology, would have to admit this. Assuming, of course, that they were actually willing to do something other than ignoring the issue by addressing each issue in isolation and refusing to look at the overall context.
So yeah, that's just my thought on creationist contradictions.
My guess is they'd say they diversified before the flood, were fossilised in the flood, and then went extinct shortly after the flood. That way they can throw all the fossil taxa before the flood and all the current ones after.
@@Hailfire08 Problem is, that runs directly counter to Ken Ham's assertion that there were 85 dinosaur "kinds" on the ark. If they diversified before the flood then every one of the now 1,000+ (yes, the number has grown since I last looked) had to have been on the ark.
But the whole point of using "kinds" is Ken wants to limit the number of dinosaurs on the ark. He thinks he can get away with 170 (85 pairs), but not 2,000 or more.
To do that, though, he literally has to ignore his own teachings regarding the flood boundaries.
@1:36:00 that connections lists at the YEC sites is why I remind everyone about the "Kulturkampf" aspect of antievolutionist, which has been a core obsession with them for the last century or so.
