- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Ken Ham and his team have a weekly "news" show, reacting to the news stories of the day from a Christian young-earth creation perspective from the Answers in Genesis staff at his Creation Museum.
I join Ken Ham, Georgia Purdom and Bodie Hodge as they discuss a poll that reports increased rejection of Biblical womanhood and more during Answers News, broadcast live from the Creation Museum.

Hey there! So a couple of you called me out for making an error in my statistical analysis of the Gallup Daily Tracker Poll, so here's a correction: The stat "30% of 18-24 year olds" was in reference to the percentage of LGBTQ+ poll responders in that age category, not the percentage of the general population. That was a misstep that both the source doc, Ken Ham, and I all made. I also divided this "30% of 18-24 year old" stat by the "58% of LGBTQ+ poll responders ID'ed as women" stat, which was definitely not how that was supposed to have been done. Whoops!
TLDR: I took the "30% of 18-24 year old" at face value, without considering that the initial article (and the Ham & AIGs crew) might have been misunderstanding or misconstruing the data, then fell into the same trap myself, which led to other shinanegans.
Thanks for catching that, and stay skeptical, kittehs!
Vi, you're so awesome. I appreciate everything you do.
You say you're non-binary trans
I had assumed trans meant someone does not identify as the gender they were assigned at birth, so I'm curious as to what non-binary trans means (If I'm wrong in my assumptions, please tell me)
I also do not know what non-binary means, though I thought it referred to someone who does not identify as male or female, but I'm not sure if that's correct (correct me if I'm wrong)
I'm just asking because I'm curious and I'm not very knowledgeable in the subject (most of my friends are cis-gendered)
@@zombieguy4444 You're correct! Trans means someone who does not identify as the gender they were assigned at birth. Since my gender is "nonbinary" and that was not my assigned gender at birth, I am trans!
Not all non-binary people feel the trans label is for them, but many do. Thanks for the question :)
Today I found out that VI even looks awesome as a cartoon figure.
And reconfirmed that people will believe any statistic, if they think it proves something they want to hear.
Btw about the 'trendy' trans ..EVEN if that would be true, so what?
They will stil identify as 'trans' no matter the reason.
Who are we to say that they are 'less trans' ?
@@ViRoseLaBianca
Not to sound mean, but ye are the reason I no longer watch Talk Heathen. Also, this was the only Paulogia video I could not stomach to watch to the end.
-'tis only fair that I also give reasons for the dislike; Ye are touting science, yet in LBGT+ issues and in yer own standing, the standards of science and reason simply morph into feelings.
Trans does not mean; "someone who does not identify as the gender they were assigned at birth". (under the assumption that the short "trans" applies to transgender)
It means transitioning from male to female or vice versa, ye simply yet again made up things to suit yer opinion.
I really did like the content and the excellent co-hosts, but yer SJW standing and `feelings-and-opinions-as-facts´ attitude that others also entertained.. made me turn away.
When I admitted to being atheist to relatives... my cousin recommended watching Answers in Genesis.
Good idea... certainly reinforcing my atheism.
Ooo, that's not exactly a gold standard.
Bruno, I hope you sent them links to Paulogia.
@@annk.8750 No, but I'll suggest it next time I see them.
Ham and AiGs lol
Did you tell them it reinforced your atheism?
If this poll is true, the poll doesn't likely mean that there is a huge uptick in the number of LGBT population, rather just the number of people willing to admit it.
I'm with you in that
Well, they have to figure ou that they are LGBT first, too.
& less terrified of coming out to family and friends in recent years!
All the poll actually shows is that women aren't as into men as earlier generations thought. Several reasons completely apart from sexuality or gender:
1) Struggling working poor. You KNOW you can't afford a child, so it is off the radar.
2) You want to find out who you are BEFORE you bring up a child (to whom you wish to be a good role model and not regret them for "taking you away from the things you love"), so you pursue work or charitable work (or, indeed, missionary work) so you can work out what you want to be and not resent your children interrupting that.
3) Following God. Look at nuns, priests and monks, taking vows of chastity "to be a bride of christ". Surely they would want women to hold off on breeding if they think that God might be calling them
4) They have options. They don't have to get pregnant "to get a man" to look after them.
5) Men going their own way, meaning "only ever a-holes and chads", putting them off a serious relationship.
6) Refusal to join into the "oversexualised modern era". Requires you fight against "making everything about sex".
And so on.
Social media
"The only one in that list that wouldn't be interested in men is Lesbians"
Asexuals: Am I joke to you?
Asexual people were already totally ignored in that list :p Unless they're listed under, what was it, popular trans or some shit? XD
@@stylis666 I do wonder if AiG would even acknowledge asexual people as existing or as you suggested just lump them in to a completely inaccurate and made up category.
@@Sage-Thyme LOL Well, as you can see from my comment, I expect them to lump asexuality in with something made up _if_ they acknowledge that it exists, but yeah, my bet is on willful ignorance and denial. We all know that that has their preference.
@@Sage-Thyme Heck, PAUL acknowledged being asexual in his letters, allowing/encouraging marriage for those who were unlike him.
@@rudra62 Thanks, that's interesting, I do wonder if AiG would do the same. From what I've seen it'd harm their narrative to accept anything that isn't heterosexual. But obviously AiG does not speak for all Christians.
"No family, no children, no future."
No future for _who?_
Humanity? Nah, there's plenty of humans for _humanity_ to have a future.
Christianity?
America?
The mythical America that is supposed to have existed when Ken was young. They have to keep making new impressionable minds to imprint with this myth,
@@akizeta Because it sounds to me like a snappy modern boiled-down catchphrase version of the 14 words, maybe just without the "white" part.
If they think this is a problem they should look into Japan's population problem.
The epitome of selfishness, isn't it. The future doesn't count unless you infest it with your ignorant spawn. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here with no family by choice, knowing that if I DID decide to have children one day, I would be dooming them to cancer in their 30s, on top of being raised by a dad who is either a) dying of cancer or b) dead of cancer.
"Pro-life" indeed. People like Ham make me sick for a lot of reasons; the selfishness is just icing on the shit sundae.
@@EdwardHowton Yass.
I am a 64 year old man who plays computer games and lives in my daughter's basement. Maybe I should ambush Ken in his comment section to throw his demographics off.
ha!
You sir, are a hero of the people.
The legend lives. Never change.
Please do!
Please do, that'd be amazing.
"A great Christmas grift!", hilarious!! 🤣🤣
The best Christmas grift is watching PhD Giggles laugh at everything she thinks Ken would find ridiculous.
There's a big difference between the number of people who will say "I'm gay/bi" and who will say "I've experienced same-sex attraction an nonzero number of times in my life," and I have a feeling that the 30% statistic is taking that approach with both sexuality and gender.
Same
It's funny how often people who say "I would be a bad parent" are the best parent material there is.
they're the most critical of their own actions and more concerned with the wellbeing of others, so it makes perfect sense
Exactly! People who are certain they're great parents, even perfect parents, are downright scary; they will not see their mistakes (which we all make), and are often abusive.
But we are still the best judges of our abilities and inclinations, and must act accordingly.
So, if someone believes they would be a bad parent, no matter their reason, and they cite that as a reason to forgo parenthood, BELIEVE THEM. There is always the "what if you're wrong?" part. If they do not get pregnant or get anyone pregnant, there is no one to suffer, no matter how great a parent they would have made. However, if they do have a child, and they are a bad parent, that child suffers.
It's not like human population is going away...
@@rudra62 A person's reason, #1 reason, may be something they do not discuss, ever. Someone who is childless can be a great babysitter or family friend, the proverbial honorary "uncle or aunt", a great resource. In my younger days I said I loved other people's kids, they went home. They never saw me when I was out of patience. I could never have been a "good parent" 24/7.
It's because it's easier to adapt to situations if you're well aware of your limits or if you're being critical of your actions.
And of course some are better parents by simply choosing to not procreate at all...
I absolutely ADORE Vi. They're one of my favorite humans. Seeing the two of you working together makes my heart happy.
In love here
YAY!!!!!
I would really love to see where the word "chromosomes" appears in the Bible. Please, Mr. Ham, show me. I'm giddy with anticipation
Psalm 139:13
Specifically DNA recombination.
@@markc4176 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Can you please point out which part talks about DNA? Because you don't need to know about DNA to write that, and it doesn't say anything that can be specifically identified as DNA. All this says to me is, "God forms people inside the womb," which, yeah, babies grow in the womb. That's not related to DNA at all.
@@markc4176 i read that, i fail to see how "For thou hast possessed my reins(created my inward parts): thou hast covered (created) me in my mother’s womb." Says anything about DNA or genetics. All that says is that God apparently creates people in the womb.
@@trikitrikitriki formation within the womb includes the recombination of DNA of the mother and the father to create a new strand of unique DNA. You cannot have the formation without that occurring at the beginning. Are you claiming that DNA is somehow not involved-or worse: that just because the Hebrew text doesn’t spell out a recently created English word that it negates the entire Bible?
What an excellent day it is when a new Paulogia video with my favorite Talk Heathen host as a guest is released. Thank you Paul and Vi!
I live in Japan, and in the recent census, they had to kind of lay down rules for what counts as a "household", because so many families live together with multiple generations, but not necessarily quite in the same house... shared kitchen and common area, but separate floor and bathrooms, for example; or even a completely separate front door. I think they eventually defined "household" if they have like, their own budget, but it's still pretty vague.
Last time I saw Paul, he declined to be bribed to show us Vi‘s avatar. Finally, we get to see it. Nicely done!
30% of women under 25 who met David Shor had a sudden revulsion to the idea of sleeping with him... He just has terrible chat up lines and weird questions.

"Dire implications" oh no everyones comfortable enough to come out
Oh dear!
People are accepted!
But what about jebus!
"it's not about thinking about other people or leaving a godly legacy"
What could possibly be more selfish than worrying about your legacy? That you're concerned not just about what people think about you now, but what they'll think about you perpetually into the future? I'm not saying worrying about one's legacy is inherently a bad thing, though I personally don't really care what people think about me after I'm dead. But it's by no means a selfless act.
That said, why does wanting to identify on the outside how a person feels on the inside preclude someone from being selfless? How does that prevent someone from caring about others? Or even the legacy question! LGBTQ people leave legacies, some of which are biological legacies. And in many cases they even leave "godly legacies" as quite a few LGBTQ people are believing Christians and even clergy. It's not what Ham and company would feel to be "godly", but who made him the judge of such things?
I think our legacy is different according to each person we've interacted with. We're the extras, the villains and the heroes in different people's stories. I most likely will never have kids (I'm in my 30s and don't have any and don't plan on any) and I don't think that makes any difference. How we treat other people lives on until miss remembering, miss interpretations and just plain forgetting happens. Things I've done are already in books and documentaries with some sections about me specifically and none of them capture who I am as a person. The desire to be remembered I understand but to think your biological offspring are your only legacies I don't. It's almost as if those people don't see their kids or other people as individuals.
@@SonOfTheDawn515 Agreed. I have kids, but I don't see them as my legacy. Why would I put those pressures and expectations on them? Why is it their responsibility to make me look good? Talk about self-centered.
@@TerenceClark I think there are two kinds of legacies. There's certainty the selfish endeavor of wanting to be remembered a certain way which I don't get either. But there's also the legacy which is something you make or start that will continue to do good (whatever that means for you) in the future. And I think that is a noble endeavor.
That said, I agree that kids should not be one's legacy. While they could be (and sometimes are) used to continue that second type of legacy which I called noble, they should be free to follow their own path.

Honest question: I *think* understand non-binary & trans. Vi used the term "non-binary trans" to describe themself & I don't quite understand. Seems like a contradiction because trans is not identifying with the gender you were assigned at birth & non-binary is ignoring gender roles. What am I missing?
Just commenting to see if you get an answer because I'm curious too. Trying to understand the labels. 39 straight and not many friends so I don't meet a very diverse group of people
Being trans means not identifying with your assigned gender at birth (AGAB) and being non-binary means that you're a gender that is not a part of the typical binary of man or woman. A non-binary person is going to be trans as well since people are assigned male or female at birth. I suppose it could be possible for someone to be assigned non-binary at birth and then continue to identify with that which would make them a cis non-binary person, but that's not really a thing that happens.
@@NathanPlaysGames1234 oh that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation.
@@NathanPlaysGames1234 Thanks for the explanation, but I'm still not completely wrapping my head around it & I feel I lack the skill to communicate why, at least in writing.

Ken Ham is woried about people not being married. So when were Adam and Eve married. Acording to Ken thats where he came from.
Ugh. Attend a jehovah's witness meeting, they spend 5 minutes on the bride and groom and 40 minutes on Adam and eve.
Or Mary and Joseph or rather Mary and the holy ghost knocked her up out of wedlock
Very good point who could actually marry them
Must have happened off camera ; )
According to christians, Adam and Eve were married by God. Didnt seem to be a very good marriage though, since it started the fall of humans from God's favor and produced kids that murder each other out of Jealousy. Adam and Eve didnt seem to be very involved parents, and they sure as hell didnt produce "Godly offspring".( whatever that means)
Any other bi people feeling incredibly validated by vi? They are lovely and just made me happy like i needed this today 🖤
Not I.
She's insulting to cis men.
I can actually buy that 30% stat. About 3 in 10 women i know are either straight up bi, or are curious.
Seems a bit overblown to me, but maybe. You have to take into account that it's much much more socially acceptable for a female to admit to that kind of curiosity that than a male.

Such a great and entertaining episode! Vi makes any show great but this already great show was brought to a higher level today.
Sadly I did hear it first. Thank you for taking the time to spell it out. There has been an explosion of controversy in social media where these ideas don't actually matter. What matters to many is who's side are you on.
28:53 @Vi Rose La Bianca You messed up the math there. If 30% of all respondents are LGBTQ+, then it is totally reasonable that 30% of (the 58%) women are as well. It just means that about 30% of (the 42%) men are, too. So it just means there is no statistical difference between men and women in the percentage of LGBTQ+ people.
You absolutely cannot take 58% of 30% there. If only 17% of all women were LGBTQ+, 48% of men would need to be, to still get a total of 30% of all respondents.
I thought so too, so I went to find the poll. I believe the link below is the one they were talking about. The way it presents the data is really confusing to me. I don’t see a number anywhere to indicate what % of the national population is LGBT but broken up state by state the categories went from “below 3.7%” to “4.5% and above”. The 30% number seems to be saying that 30% of the LGBT respondents were in that age range, not that 30% of respondents in that age range were LGBT
williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/visualization/lgbt-stats/?topic=LGBT#demographic
@@photosynthetichermitcrab Indeed, AiG totally misrepresented the statistics. This poll says between 4% and 10% of the population are LGBTQ+, depending on the state, and of those who identify as LGBTQ+, 30% are in the mentioned age range. So while Vi’s math was off, their suspicion that the percentage should be way less than 30% was spot on. What AiG did there is just laughably bad, as they could have easily catched their error by just reading the next table.
Just heard it and yeah you're right
“Trendy Trans” sounds like a terrible attempt at naming a product line to make it seem “hip”. “This is what you young people like, right?”
It's those damnable Trendy Trans Tiktok Teens!

I've run into a few, actually. Milo Stewart comes to mind.
"Trans trender" is the term I'm used to hearing. People use it in a derogatory way, but I say more power to them. People should be free to choose to identify in any way that they feel most comfortable with, as long as they're not displacing people of vulnerable populations. I'm even fine with people proclaiming a transracial identity AS LONG AS they are transparent about it and don't try to abuse systems made to benefit the historically disenfranchised. Like that one lady in Spokane who pretended to be a black person when she was actually of European descent with no recent dark-skinned ancestors, but she tried to register for school as someone of African decent, which was the WRONG way to go about things, because that's an attempt to enroll in a way to grant herself access to advantages that are meant for historically disenfranchised African Americans, not transracial European Americans who identify as African American. IF she had been ENTIRELY transparent and been clear about her genetic heritage and made it clear that she was NOT seeking access to special benefits for her identity and that she was only trying to live the lifestyle that felt most genuine and complete for her then things would have been fine from my perspective. I understand how being discluded from benefit programs for those of African descent could interfere with the completeness of one's transracial identity, but certain programs just don't make sense to enroll in, like how a transexual shouldn't enroll in medical benefits programs meant to treat reproductive cancers that they could never get, a transracial person shouldn't try to benefit from programs that are meant to benefit people with specific socioeconomic ills related to their ancestry.
Omg awesome dynamic duo!!! More!!! Also thanks for making Ken somehow less horrible, I think its important to know what weird schenanigans hes up to. However this is the only way I can watch AIG without looking for objects to shove in my ears... my skull/brain matter thanks you both.

Only women aged 25? That’s not a lot of women, relatively speaking
Let LGBTQ+ people who want to adopt raise children. Why are we making it difficult? There aren’t enough families willing to adopt, and I was abused by straight people in the system, so it’s not like heterosexuality makes you a better parent
@@Gloomdrake The best for this children is to be with their biological parents but it isn't always possible for many complications and it is usually the parents that are the cause of these complications...
Someone's paraphilic partner isn't the best choice as a parental figure and one role can only be done once, there are only two, father and mother.
@@idealthinker5435 not always true. I have seen many abusive biological parents.

Love Vi. They're very informed. Another good episode, Paul.
I have met women who identify as "lesbian" yet have occasional heterosexual relationships with men. If 99% of the people you're attracted to are women, and 1% are men, you might still call yourself a lesbian. According to Kinsey, it's a continuous spectrum. The lines between categories are fuzzy lines.

"Live your life so that when you lose your job, the whole world doesn't dance in the streets", available on Amazon as a T-shirt (I ordered 2).
in the southeastern US, especially rural areas, it's still fairly common for multiple generations of a family to live on the same property with some of the homes on the property being multi generational. this is not weird. i don't know when it became weird.
Great video, as always. And lovely to see you too, Vi.
Vi was definitely the highlight of this one, they were just nailing point after point.
At 5:05 Vi talks about the imagined "actual" breakdown of the 30% stat and attributes it to Dreher, but the image shows the quote comes from Andrew Sullivan -- a weirdly Catholic & conservative gay writer. Or is the background image not telling the full story?
19:14 - Hooboy... The Duggars. When their show started, my state was happy to say "They're ours!" two seasons in and Arkansas was planning on giving Missouri the land they were on since they were on the border to avoid being connected to the Duggars.
Hyperbole I know...but it's funny to me.
The thing that bothers me about their little graphic is that the arrow on the male symbol points straight up and not off to the right. Oh yeah, and that it doesn't prove anything.
29:30 rising age of marriage could also reflect being in college debt and not ready to buy a house to settle down in...
Just saw this related Tweet: "people my age aren't having a lot of kids because one of our 9 roommates usually objects" @cableknitjumper (Nov. 25, 2020)
Worth noting that Andrew Sullivan, who wrote the tweet mentioning "trendy trans", is openly gay himself.
And a Christian, albeit one who seems uncomfortable with the teachings he believes are in the Bible. Here he is with Hitch, who I believe eventually became Andrew's friend: ruclips.net/video/LRVbfEDTd_A/видео.html
Sorry to spam, but I remembered this from Hitch:
_Andrew Sullivan, who is probably my most reactionary Catholic friend, proposed a tiny thought experiment. He said that if you hear the Pope saying he believes in god, you think, "The Pope is doing his job today." But if you hear the Pope say he's really begun to doubt the existence of god, you begin to think he might be on to something._
This is from memory, so... ☺️
If 30% of women are lesbians why am I single 100% of the time? 😭

As somebody who came to faith in my thirties after spending my entire upbringing as a convinced atheist, I find this the most affirming thing ever
Awesome episode!!! I love both of y'all!!
29:15 - you can’t just multiply the percentages like that. It still works out to around 30% LGBT.
Exactly, 58% being above 50% means if you were to do the math it would mean women are more than 30% LGBT. Not less.
I had a similar thought
Although on looking at the williamsinstitute site. The 30% is saying that 30% of LGBT individuals are between the ages of 18-24. Not that 30% of individuals between the ages of 18-24 are LGBT. So to get the number we are looking for we would have to do a whole lot of math with more numbers about the US population as a whole.
whenever I hear the explanation of difference between sex and gender I get jealous. In German there is only one word for both which makes discussion way harder.
If it makes you feel any better, English speakers conflate the two words at their convenience to be cruel to one another, to win arguments, etc. It's a mess.
German has terms for biology and psychology does it not? Sex is biology and gender is psychology. Invent new words that combines the terms biological and psychological with that word that is sex and gender to help differentiate the terms.
@@andrewstoddard6717 of course it has, but saying biologisches Geschlecht and soziokulturelles Geschlecht or psychologisches Geschlecht is annoying and rare. There is a trend to use Gender for gender and Geschlecht for sex, though.
@@hamanime I forget how German words stack like that. LOL
I’m bi. Married 2 different men. First one sucked. My husband now is the love of my life-even with all the hardships we are facing right now.
I have 2 children who are both adults and going on with their lives. I never wanted kids. But they turned out to be the best thing in my life. I’m 53, and being a mom made me super happy.
So AIG is full of it. Some of us LGBTQ want marriage, happiness, and children!
Ken's content makes me feel things. It makes me feel tired. Ken is like that one kid in school who always had a joke to tell, and it was almost always at someone else's expense, and you would hear it a thousand times before he got tired of telling it. Scratch that, he's not *like* that kid, he is that person in a very literal way as soon as you remove the age and location.
What does "We answers find in our genesis" mean? That's as odd as "Don't dead open inside."
"Don't dead open inside" I love it. 😆😂😁
Many Christian Creationists / Biblical literalists view things in black and white. Life is lived in shades of gray.
Everyone loves Vi, including me!
Paul's not so bad either
It is more important that there is a world for the next generation than that of increasing the numbers of the next generation.
Just to make a small correction, I'm actually in the attic not the basement.
I know this is old but I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed this.
Education at school level tends to be a long way behind where the society is. So in an age where science and psychology have got gender as a spectrum of states, school curricula are still teach the 2 human genders (male and female). Part of this I suspect that this is due to out dated text books, and part is due to the inertia of society in general.
And a huge chunk of it is due to fundamentalists on school boards who will not allow any teaching beyond their narrow boundaries. And a few parents. Many parents are horrified to realize their Christian board members are a completely alien sort of "Christian", indoctrinating everybody's kids to their limiting view.
I have had lots of women who are happily married in strait relationships with children say that they sometimes fanatized about kissing other women. Doesn't makeput them right down the middle of the kinsey scale though.
I would still consider them bisexual or bicurious, just with a preference for men
Or, a woman IS bisexual and has chosen monogamy with a male partner.
In source material really describe him as a democratic scientist or did they mix up the word with demographic?
Love you Vi, love you Paul. I have a comment from a conversation with a bi millennial girl...and it's this.
If your bi-sexuality could be counted between one and a hundred as your own perception and you stated you were the number 50, and you met a b-sexual person and they see themselves more 65...no drama. But think about the numbers now...1 to 99...99 to 1. The possibilities are endless...as are human beings.
The need to have a name is ridiculous...and I'm 60 and I get it.
So....to all those who struggle with their sexuality....I say BE YOU, FOR YOU FIRST. fuck the haters, they will always hate.
You know you are beautiful on the inside, you know you are
I wonder what they count as bisexual. People who have experimented once or twice?
@@annk.8750 can you see the rabbit hole you're standing at the edge of? the need to label it all? does it matter? are you happy in your skin? and if it's just to get off? if it works it works.
the biggest sex organ is between your ears....your brain, if it don't work upstairs etc
Calm down, Peter. I'm not the ones doing the labeling, but presumably the ones doing the survey did.
Oh that whole science says genetics equal gender pisses me off so much, especially when there's a molecular biologist on their panel. FFS in genetics we have terms such as genotype and phenotype because what is suggested genetically isn't what you actually get when taking into account things like environmental factors.
Even if you ignore the mental side of gender, there's more than two combinations of X and Y chromosomes (XX, XY, XXY, XYY, XYYY, etc.) *plus* there's a big difference between genotype and phenotype. Genotype is what's in your DNA. Phenotype is how your body grows. They aren't always the same thing. Case in point, there's a thing called Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, where you have XY chromosomes but you develop as female. People with AIS are usually born with a vagina rather than a penis. But they don't have ovaries and don't grow breasts in puberty. Then there's people with XY chromosomes, born with undescended genitalia, which outwardly looks like a vagina, but then a penis and testicles descend at puberty. Imagine being told your whole childhood, "You are a girl", and then at age 13 you find out you have XY chromosomes. Or being told your whole childhood, "You are a boy", and then at age 19 you find out you have XYY chromosomes. That's just a few examples. And I haven't even talked about the mental aspect at all, just the physical side.
No matter how you define "gender" or "sex", there's more than two categories.

V was a great guest. You should see if you can get them on more often.
7:15 I think that's it exactly. I didn't know the term non-binary until my mid 30s (about a decade ago) so I didn't identify as trans because of ignorance. Also, how do I become a "trendy trans" person instead of a "boring trans" person?
I truly do not understand the power of identification, attaching gender or other traits as a base of personhood. I don’t get it and likely never will. I see it as a defeat of a sort.
My son is 18 and starting college this fall. He's not interested in getting a girlfriend anytime soon and neither is any of his female friends looking either (I don't know if he knows any trans individuals right now). The teenage/young persons in my son's group of friends, which includes 2 young lesbian women, are generally nerdy, video gaming individuals who don't feel the need to have to go out and marry and give grandchildren for their parents. I am learning much these days as I'm past the half-century mark and am learning concepts and such we couldn't conceive of when I was young. It is an interesting time to live, admittedly not fair to everyone which is sad, but interesting in that their are new ideas to learn such as though around sex and gender, etc.
So, until I discover if I have XY chromosomes or XX chromosomes I can't identify as "male" or "female"?
and if it turns out your XYY, XXX, or XXY or just a solo X, what does that mean? The chances of that are really low, but these people exist. Heck, most XYY people go their entire lives without knowing. (having a solo Y is fatal, and the pregnancy self-aborts. But hey, God made them that way.)
@@bskec2177 what is your source for this?
@@andrewstoddard6717 For what part? Having odd number of sex chromosomes is very rare (less than 1 per 1000). "XXY" is referred to as Klinefelter's syndrome. Single "X" is called Turner's. XYY is unnamed, and has only a few minor symptoms, as is Trisomy X (XXX). I learned this in a University genetics course in the 90's, and I just double checked it online, in case the information had changed in the last 20 or so years. It hadn't. You are of course, free to do your own research.
@@bskec2177 this is new information for me, so I am asking out of curiosity.
@@andrewstoddard6717 That's fair. When most people are taught the basics in school, they just learn XX is female, and XY is male. They don't learn about all the variation. This is to keep the topic simple enough for students without getting into all the details. The issue is when people get a little information, and think that's all there is.
It is important to remember that this variation in chromosomes has no apparent influence on sexual orientation - ie, having these variations has no impact on whether a person is straight, or somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectrum.
It was once explained to me that biological sex may be binary, but gender isnt. Part of the reason the rainbow flag has been adopted by the LGBT movement, is that on the spectrum, each colour fades into the next, without there being distinct boundaries. A person can have a female brain, within a male body, or vice-versa, and that's what trans is. It's not a choice, and dealing with that can be extremely difficult. People don't get to choose what their attracted to either. Male, female, both, or neither. It's a spectrum of differences.
This was very interesting. I always want to understand more. Thank you.
Hey I was wondering what to do for breakfast and here you are!
You know I have to ask. How big are basements in the US that you can fit a whole desk with I assuma a not too small computer in them. In my parents‘ basements there‘s barely room for one person to be able to turn around.(I live in bulgaria btw)
In America most basements have the same dimensions as the house. (Bottom floor) It has been my experience that basements in Europe are what Americans would call cellar.
@@DoctorMeh thanks for the info.
@@DoctorMeh
And in some states, houses basically don't even have basements or cellars. The soil type makes it relatively impossible without getting rid of all of the soil and replacing it.
Does anyone remember record stores?
I used to work in one.
Artists were filed by genre, then alphabetical.
The “genre” part caused some issues.
The philosophy of the owner, if they had their way would be not to have any genres, but most customers would hate that and wanted some division of genres, so the store tried to keep them as simple and all encompassing as possible.
Rock- which included pop, rock, prog, metal, etc.
Soul- which included soul, funk, hip hop, etc.
Dance- which included techno, house, trip hop, etc.
Jazz- which included swing, bebop, etc.
And so on.
Some customers would be upset, because a band they really identified with, wasn’t filed in their separate proper Metalcore genre and was lumped in with other metal and rock.
Most customers heard a song they liked, wanted to buy it, and had no interest what sub genre the band identified as.
If you started explaining it, their eyes would glaze over.
You had other artists like Prince, who’s entire catalog lived in the Soul genre, even though some of his albums were , rock or pop, or even Jazz.
To keep all of the artists catalog together, they would stay in the genre they started or were most know for.
The people who had no interest what sub genre something was classified as weren’t bad people, they just had no interest in it.
They supported the artist, but didn’t care about the minutiae.
The people who were really passionate about the differences between sub genres and what was Black Metal Vs Death Metal also weren’t bad people. It really mattered to them and how they identified themselves.
In my experience, both groups were fine with the other, but they probably weren’t going to change the others opinions or interests.
Then you had the other group, who thought all secular music was bad and should be gotten rid of, or censored or said it was ruining society and should be banned and called them names and insulted them.
That’s something altogether different, than the people who just couldn’t & probably never would be able to wrap their head around, there being a difference between “Rap” & “Horrorcore”, even though they may like or at least be supportive of the artists right to be either.
Reminds me of books. I love Half Price Books, and usually just wander around grabbing a variety of things. Sometimes I get hooked on a series, and once I had started in Fantasy for an author, worked my way through Science fantasy and Science fiction, Paranormal, even Romance (and others), finally going to the front desk and asking; it was in Horror. I was so startled the clerk laughed at me; I could see it (sort of), but obviously would have filed it elsewhere. This kind of thing can be very open to interpretation. Then we have crossovers.
Why is it an insult to live in a basement? I don't live in my parents basement, but I basically like being in my owns basement.
The best argument I've seen to refute the pro-life stance is this. Say someone was dying of kidney failure and you had the perfect kidney to give them that would save their life. Humans don't need two kidneys, so aside from the surgery and recovery period, it would not impact you if you gave up that kidney, and it would save that other person's life. Regardless, you aren't obligated to give that person your kidney because you have a say over what happens to your body. Even if you're dead and definitely don't need those organs anymore, they can't be taken from you without you consenting to it prior to death. A womb should be viewed in the same way - nobody should be able to use it without your consent.
I am a historian of the family and I just want to point out that the 'ideal' godly family that people like Ham point to, early marriage and just parents and their children, and is very time and cultural specific. What we call the North-West European Marriage Pattern that came to North America with the European colonists has new families formed at marriage, but it was relatively late (about 26-28) and, as the name suggest this did not really apply in Eastern and Southern Europe. Age at marriage came down in the US in the nineteenth century because of prosperity and easily available housing and stayed much that way in the economic expansion of the twentieth century. The reason age at marriage is rising now is because of poverty and a lack of housing, not because people want to live with their parents and definitely because they are 'losers'.
I am now over 60 years old. If all the women who told me they did not want children back in the '70s when they were in their 20's, all of them had kids.
"...women over 60...", followed immediately by "...the poll was limited to women 25 and under...".
Uh...
Ah yes.
Generalisation~
Ken's problem is that we don't live in a static black and white world, but he and his sidekick can't accept change and spectra.
Society is changing, religion is dying out in western cultures, and his easy money source is drying up.
The world is not going to suddenly depopulate in a couple of generations just because people can't afford housing or prefer to live alone a little longer than in Ken's generation.
As an atheist, I need to commit to my deconversion by examining the baggage I was socialized with from religion. It is my opportunity to expand my knowledge and develop more open-minded opinions.
Paul meets all the coolest people....

Some Mormons still discourage mixed-race marriages on the basis that the children of the mixed marriage are not as well-off, because of things like discrimination. “It’s for the children” was a big theme to keep races from mixing even after the Mormons allowed blacks after 1978 to hold the priesthood. Separation of the races was a main belief of Mormons before 1978, and still is an underlying belief of Mormonism.
The position of AIG seems to be, boys play video games all day women do not. So to transition all one would need to do is adjust the amount of time they play video games. Simple. I wonder how they would react considering by that standard I have transitioned many many times in my 43 years.
*There is only one person more protective of hiw Twitter account than Ken Ham is, and that person lost their job.*
OOF.
The US average children per household has actually fallen below 2. It's now about 1.9.
There are few things Vi said that I did not understand.
1) What do they mean by non-binary trans?
2) Why would it be a positive thing if 30% of young women were LGBTQ+? Wouldn't it be just as positive if 100% of them were hetero women?
they identify as transgender. the type of transgender they specifically identify as is "non-binary". binary means two, so man/woman. non-binary is literally anything outside of the two.
your second point is a bit.. sus. but think of it this way. it means fewer people are afraid of identifying as not het. If everyone is fine with being het, and het, that's fine...? but if 30% of your "gets" are actually scared of being outed LGBTQ+ people? That is bad.
