Once, years ago, I criticized you for what I believed to be an error in your logic. I never expected you to respond, yet you did. You showed me how flawed my own viewpoint was. I can honestly say you're the reason I dropped my baseless beliefs and embraced logic. Thanks Aron, truly.
Glad to see ya on the real side of reality, n not believing in an alternative reality. Welcome to the light my friend 💯🤘.
I think it involves statistics. What if someone considers the formation of the stars to the evolution of life "creation'"? It shows that the position you took isn't clear. You can't argue from it.
You can't assume literal creationism for the whole of bible believers. That's only a tiny part of them.
Same problem with the description of the earth being a circle that's placed in nothing. That's part of the view people had, not a geometric failure. There was no such thing as geometry. The horizon/skyline is a circle around you. The astronomical movement of the earth through space doesn't take away the solid ground you stand on, which only moves during earthquakes. What is now known as the gravitational field of the earth was seen as the establishment of the earth, likely on multiple pillars because everything falls down so that's required. Only birds can float. Most logical question today would be on what those pillars are standing, but nobody was there in the time, only a few philosophers.
@@EnthusiasticTent-xt8fhWell assuming your comment about all the imperfections of the universe being caused by sin reflects your beliefs then you evidently don’t understand any logic at all.
(If you’re not a creationist nut then I apologize for that assumption lol.)
I honestly can only say that AronRa helped *YOU TO GET OUT BY YOURSELF* so don't diminish your own thinking.
That's a terrible reason.🤯 Because now the next Bozo that comes along with an argument you like better might switch you back to being a theist. The only reason you should believe in Bigfoot is if someone shows you demonstrable evidence for Bigfoot. Not because someone talked you into believing in Bigfoot or talked you out of believing in Bigfoot. Tangible Evidence!
Arab ex-Muslim atheist here, and I must thank you for your hard work in exposing the Abrahamic religions and their fallacies, Aron.
Can you think of one field of science that was not founded by Bible-believing Christians? I can only think of the discovery of DNA (discovered by two atheists). Other than that, what has your atheism, which you falsely label as ‘science,’ ever produced?
In fact, even DNA was a continuation, not of Darwin (who has been scientifically wrong and useless), but of the Christian monk, Mendel. Even Darwin proved himself wrong, saying that, if his theory is correct, there should be innumerable transitional fossils. Yet, atheists cannot find one that is not without controversy - even among evolutionists! Can you name even one? Therefore, according to Darwin, his own theory is false.
You cannot say that I did not warn you. God will judge every lie and every treason. If you want to live without morals, if you go into eternity without God, know that hell plays by its own rules. In fact, Jesus said that there will be torturers there. Hell is eternal and it lasts forever. Yet, Christ died on a Cross so that you can be made right with God. Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
Welcome to the dark side.
Now, you don't need to believe in invisible people lie gods, angels, demons, smurfs.
I recommend continued to read holy books, learning about cults, science (physics, chemistry, biology, archeology, etc).
The more you know, the better the picture is.
That's incredible. You're very brave to be so open and honest. Has the impacted your personal life? Any fear of the punishment for apostasy by some crazy person?
If you're up for it. I'd certainly love to hear your story, how you escaped etc, whatever you want to share. So many are in your position but afraid, if more people made it public (safely, talk in the dark, voice disguiser). It certainly helped me! Thank you for your bravery.
You're a fool for listening to this Atheist asshole. and you're going burn in fire and brimstone in hell for all eternity. have fun asshole?
If the medical world were to use the Bible as a reference, our life expectancy would quickly drop back to about 30 years.

@@wilsontexas there are no untested shots
@@Soapy-chan It's historical fact, history and science denier.
@@wilsontexas I am not denying history and science though.
Well, at least I think you talked about the china V, but maybe you meant something else, and if so, please tell.
@@Soapy-chan They skipped the normal vaccine approval process since it was fasttracked because of the "pandemic"
The whole "Blood is the life of the flesh" one is so incredibly funny to me.
How on earth could ancient people have figured such advanced scientific knowledge as "If something bleeds a lot it dies"?
This reminds me of another Jehovah Witness story when I attended their version of Sunday School at age 12 or so. One time they passed out these cards for us to carry in the case of an accident and we were rendered unconscious. It was card stating we refused any blood transfusions or organ donations even to save our lives because we were Witnesses. Not only did I REFUSE to sign mine, I tried to talk the other kids out of it too, stating it was child abuse.
That was my last Bible study class I ever went to in my life.
Experience and common sense!!!! Science itself is a product of philosophy. It's man first, then Science - not the other way round.
Almost as profound as "If someone looks gross, send them away."
and how is stuff alive that has NOT got the same blood? like e.g. insects?
Same thing as "nostrils" as the Noah passenger list criterion... yeah, it's much more obvious with mammal noses, but pretty much everything alive past the very crudest multicellular families breathes, including fish.
Doesn't this once more show the bible was not written for/through/by an all knowing "creator" but by superstitious and mostly ignorant people from long ago that had no idea how breathing works or thinking or blood circulation?
The whole part about how the Bible could've saved millions during the Black Death is mistifying to me; What particular religion does Ray think medieval Europeans practiced?
@@ConontheBinarian😂 ironic how the Christian god did not contribute one new scientific fact/invention
Insert something about how Catholicism is satanic and banned the Bible
@@paroxysm6437 Well, duh, _obviously_ he doesn't want to reveal too much. So he goes with the big hitters like appearing in toast. That's how you know he means business.
Well at that time in Europe they were mostly all Catholic, and according to Evangelists like Comfort, Catholics are super icky pagan Mary-worshippers, so his whole schtick is probably, blah blah the Catholic Church suppressed knowledge of hand washing or something something
@@plattbagarn😂😂😂
The longest wooden hull ship ever built was a six-masted schooner named "Wyoming" that launched in 1909. With a deck length of 350 ft, it was shorter than the 300 cubits of Noah's Ark. She was so long that the planks would twist and let water into the hold, so pumps had to run constantly in order to keep her afloat. Noah had no such pumps. In 1924 she floundered and sank with all hands aboard.
Thats what happens when you don't praise the great wizard in the sky.
Also, it had to be braced with steel beams.
Well an ark isn't exactly a ship, it's a large barge. Different stresses, unpowered, unsteerable. Now I would like to see someone build the bible ark and actually launch and recover it.
@@SaanMigwell Technically I think box is a better description of what "ark" means than barge. Regardless, a wooden vessel of the length described would have absolutely taken on water.
Interestingly, an apologist named Ken Hamm built a "replica" of Noah's Ark which is landlocked, and basically just an expensive museum of lies, and they made an insurance claim a few years back due to, of all things, water damage caused by rain. I'm not making that up.
@@SaanMigwell Wouldn't work either. Ship's hull is a purpose-built structure *made* to withstand the stresses sea put on it. Yet it still needs human operation in rough seas - which sometimes is still not enough and ships sink. Now put something like the Ark in the rough seas and... what do you think would happen to it?
I can actually admire how well Ray Comfort plays the role of a sweet, innocent, naive and nerdy Christian, while knowingly and blatantly lying about what the Bible authors actually wrote. It is a testament to the lack of any real effort on Christians to read the Bible for themselves, relying instead, on the con men that profit on their apathy.
@rboland2173 🤔There would be so much more pizza!!!!😂🤣🤣🫠🫠🫠
Sorta like Diaper Don claiming to be a Bible reader. Why do I, as an athiest, feel like screaming, "God help us."
Christians are indoctrinated since childhood so it's a built-in audience already for conmen like Ray Comfort to exploit.
However, he would be broke as $#!t trying pull that business in largely non-religious secular countries.
Which probably it explains why he stopped selling secondhand cars in his home country of New Zealand and moved to the United States running a cash cow ministry.
Good news is, Religion is dying in the United States, so the religious pool for these conmen to fish is shrinking.
@rboland2173 Don't we already have "Pizza balls" or something like Pizza 'Hot pockets' already?
@rboland2173seriously deep dish.
I’m from WV and currently work with a guy who is in his mid 50’s. He is convinced that T-Rex never existed. I gave up trying to reason with this guy. I used to think that if people were shown evidence that they would change their minds. Man, was I wrong…
People can’t choose what meets their standard of evidence, but they can choose their standard of evidence. That’s how they get themselves into crappy positions.
So just T-rex? So all the other tyrannosaurids are real to him?
@@filonin2 I think that’s because that’s the only dinosaur name he knows. He probably thinks they’re all fake. 🙄

I like the cozy coffe shop background. Feels like being back in college, studying at the coffee shop just outside the gates to campus and having Aron as a study-buddy. 😊
That gate probably leads to the 6th circle of hell.
@AronRa What’ll be the next series on cladistics, after Homo sapiens, snakes, arachnids, and whales? 😊 Nautiloids and squids? 😃Or brewer’s yeast and Drosophila? ✌️

The kid said he doesn't know why people laugh when he mentions Ray Comfort? He must not know why Ray is called the Banana Man?!
Remember the saying "There's a sucker born every minute"?
As AronRa said, it's been decades for him and others to prove Ray Comfort wrong. But that kid was not around long enough to have found any of these yet.
He probably just was told 'watch this, it's great' and now was confidently going to take on someone with three times the life experience.
It still takes time to get rid of these memes (ideas), as there are still people in bubbles that never heard a consenting view.
@@Cau_No "There's a sucker born again every minute."
why exactly IS he called 'the banana man?'
@@skarnak1Look at your hand! It is perfect holding a banana!
(okay, the other way around 🧐)
@@skarnak1 A simple search of "Ray comfort banana" is all you need to do to figure that one out. You could also look up "atheist nightmare" as that is what he called the banana, until he learned that it is the product of selective breeding at which point that skit became a pure comedy routine of his.
This is why I’m a channel member. When Aron says he will do something, he does it. While I admired that kid’s bravery in the previous video to go live with you, I also started to feel bad for him with how badly he was owned throughout that entire video. I don’t think he realized how badly he was in over his head. Great work as always Aron, keep it up.
I'm catching up on channels I've been waiting on to upload new stuff. This way I have a few videos to binge in a row. I'm going to watch that debate next. My hope is that the kid walks away and starts to think about all this stuff more critically. He SEEMED amenable to that, not that he would dig in his heels and become even more entrenched in his flawed thinking. I have a feeling that kid thought, "the mantle of God is upon my shoulders and His wisdom shall not fail me!" Yeah, that always ends up not happening. Funny how that always happens...
About Ray: "He hath given himself to the Lord and the Lord hath provided." Translation "He found a grift that has made him very wealthy off the naive."
"I don't understand why people laugh at Ray Comfort." Two Words, Banana Man.
"Nana Ray, lyin' for God
dont call him that, he will go bananas
To be fair, how else but by Godly intervention/design could a banana have been perfectly engineered into the perfect shape and size to fit into a man's anus??? Evolution? Pfah, humbug. Selective breeding? We'll just ignore that fact. Coincidence? Rubbish! Clearly there was a benevolent invisible magical creator skydaddy wanting us to know the joy of shoving fruits up our sphincters!
Lol why's he referred to as the banana man?
@@Dylans503I'm sure a search engine will bring you all the information you need. It's based on a really stupid "fact" he said.
Nearly spat out my dinner at the solar-powered germs bit 😂
Well, that made my day...

Ray: "Nothing has a half evolved eye, or ear, or leg, or brain."
Aron: Laughs, "Wrong again. [...] There are many examples of animals still having intermediate forms of eyes..."

"...or leggs..."
Shows video of a walking batfish.
"...or brains!"

"That are not as well developed as other associated animals."

My message repeatedly is this. As a Beyond 🎯 Targeted Individual that is a '65 model, all factory equipment (a rarity) I say the 7 virtues are innate. Somehow these directions and virtues (such as Charity over greed and Temperance over Gluttony for example) are LOST in the transition. I have ample proof of these differences. Visitors👽👾👻👹 seem to take the 7 sins to extremes that have brought this world to its current state, whatever you would prefer to call this trainwreck of greed, lust and envy. There are a million actions I would never take for the sake of greed (money) or pride (inferior superiority). And it is not human nature to commit these atrocities. Meat suits lack integrity and karma has arrived in the form of clones silently replacing the unaware suits like a thief in the night.
Loved the one with Ray, spot on
Wrong it's Aron Ra, which by the way is a bullshit name. that is ignorant as fuck. but you can keep listening to him if you like being lied to. that's up to you but I'm glad I know better.
@@user-dp8gb9zu8v Accusing someone of lying when you have no evidence to substantiate that accusation is an ad hominem.
@@Tornadopelt
I'm not accusing him of lying, he is lying. and I can prove it, however I'm not going waste my time trying to prove it to you. because it would take good deal of time. and you probably wouldn't be convinced anyway. because you would just side up with the liar anyway.
Comfort and Kirk Cameron talking about the banana as "proof" of design is both unintentionally hilarious and heartbreaking.
The biggest thing that bugs me about Ray is that he is far more focused on winning arguments than changing minds. So they show the shot of the atheist on the street who has been silenced by the fallacious argument, and they never looked remotely convinced. Instead, they just look sorta irked to realize they've been chatting with a douche. Meanwhile, more skilled people can use fallacious arguments and completely change people's minds, at least some of the time.
Comfort appears to be focussed only on making money from his 'flock'. He seems to know how to fleece believers, certainly.
@@Jabbatic I guess I never realized he was doing all that well financially. If that's the case, then I'd say you are absolutely right.
@@verdatum- according to what financial statements are available online, it is estimated that Living Waters Ministry, the company that Ray Comfort is CEO, has an annual income of about $2.2 million dollars, which is over $6000 per day.
I'd say Banana Man is doing quite well financially.
@verdatum
I'm convinced a big part of Comfort's motivation is a pathological fear of death, and the finality of it.
So much of his schtick is trying to get people to go along with his prompts that they're terrible, and they'll die without getting into heaven.
Like I don't think it seems to matter to him that they affirm his Biblical vote is correct, per se, but that they agree that they had better be good with his god when they die. No matter where in his lies about biology he starts at, he quickly shifts to this dying thing.
And I'm not getting that he is trying to save souls from hell, his methods and BS word games don't mesh with that idea, to me. He just seems to _need_ people to affirm his notions about dying, like the more people he can have agree, the more likely it is that his fantastical wishful thinking about heaven will be true.
That's what I get from Comfort anyway.
Cumfart is filthy lying grifter and he knows it.
Come on Aron, saying biblical healthcare is as bad as american healthcare is really unfair. To the bible. At least the writers of the bible didn't know any better.
Politicians and right wing voters know better?
@@theunholinesswithin70 ?
😂
@@theunholinesswithin70 The "left wing" voters are the ones who are keeping the party behind the KKK, behind the "institutional racism" in policing (uncle bad touch himself wrote the "Tough on Crime Bill" which is cited for said "instuttional racism" with Mr Stop-And-Frisk himself putting his name in on the Democrat side last election), who have kept blacks in poor crime riddled slums using their absolutely total and uncontested power over those districts to ensure they get to keep maximizing the exclusion to the 13th Amedment that permits slavery of prisoners (Like how kamala harris would keep black people well past the end of their prison terms to use them as slave labor for the state), and pushing for pro-crime edicts to destroy the working class and ensure everyone is a poor entirely dependent slave to the totalitarian government they endlessly give more and more power to.
Instead of blaming the other peasants, blame the people who have bought and paid for both sides of the political lines and own the media that openly admits that their job is to control what you think (Legit, an MSNBC anchor literally said that). Instead of trying to make everything a tribalistic "Us vs Them" just like the old religions do with anyone that disagrees with them apply some actual skepticism to all forms of "power" be it religions, political, media, everything.
I love how the "skeptics" stopped being skeptical, the people in the camp of "reason" have lost all reason, the "Free thinkers" are now mind-slaves to the billionaire media narrative, how those who once cared about scientific facts are now some of the most fervent science deniers.
As a side note, the US Healthcare system is broken but also the world leader in care and breakthroughs as well as speed. The UK makes you wait weeks for emergency care, the Canadians are telling war veterans to kill themselves because of their PTSD, and the quality of care across the world is objectively worse in almost every other country. Yes the US Healthcare system is genuinely beyond cartoonishly evil and the insurance con makes it criminally expensive (The list price of my recently broken arm's repairs all together no doubt totals over $200,000, a simple 30-45 minute helicopter ride, which was required because the local ER was an absolute clown show, is $70,000), it is genuinely superior in most cases to the rest of the world in terms of quality and speed. There is a reason so many doctors from abroad come to the US, and money isn't the only one (Though certainly a factor).
Who deals with healthcare today?@@bobair2
I don't know about anyone else, but the way Comfort describes Aristotle coming to the conclusion that the earth is a sphere, sounds way more inspiring to me than "this book told me about it".
He really let's it shine through how much he doesn't care about the human mind and what it can accomplish.
Very brazen of Ray to read and show the part that describes Behemoth's tail as moving like a cedar, then say the tail must be large, because cedars are large.
Reminds me of how serial killers sometimes leave clues, because they kinda want to get caught.
I love his example that the Bible says to wash your hands... But Jesus came along and said there's no need to wash your hands.(after you use the bathroom) It's what comes out of your mouth that makes you sick. Not what goes in. That worked out wonderfully 🙄
I forgot that verse! Yuck. You’d hope people would guess he was speaking metaphorically that time.
@@mintybadger6905Since he was being accused of a literal physical act, it seems unlikely.
No wonder antivaxx people have issues with washing their hands.. Damn You, Jesus!!
He said that in regard of how the Pharisees were using this as a ceremony with the intent to show others how “religious” they were. Jesus was arguing against the religious hypocrisy of the people, not the act of washing hands.
@juanranger4214 Thank you for bringing some sense to these keyboard ranger comments.
Oh, the irony of ray comfort making a video on scientific facts while simultaneously denying all of science, biology and geology 😂
It is a good thing he has learned how to circumnavigate the intellect.
@@n0etic_f0x yeah, he just takes on science when it suits him lol
That isn't wrong. People should challenge science. I hope he does somehow disprove biology and geology, then we have learned more.
Since some people can't scroll down past the 3rd comment before replying:
This dude isn't even close to disproving biology or anything. He isn't even doing science. I was simply saying it would be awesome if a field of study was truly "destroyed" because that would probably mean we have obtained some truly incredible knowledge.
@@Gandhi_Physique yeah, challenging science on the basis of unfounded obviously erroneous assumptions and presuppositions, if you make a claim that multiple fields of science are wrong then you should at least provide some valid reasoning or perhaps even provide a hypothesis with better and or more explanatory power, but all ray comfort has got is “some book written by ignorant morons in the Middle Ages says a thing”
@@RyanGhezawi Yeah, I didn't say he was remotely close to doing so lol
Just over here trying to imagine what a raccoon’s god belief would consist of.
I think banana man will use the raccoons washing with running water as a proof they were created by god. Without adressing the question why all the other animals don't wash their hands with running water of course.
“We didn’t need god to tell us this, raccoons figured this out, and they don’t even have a god” 😂
Birds wash themselves in birdbaths and puddle and they don't know anything about scripture either ,lucky birds .
My aunt is 67 and a believer. She didn't know that we orbit the sun, and that the sun is the biggest thing in our solar system. I was shocked. She had retained a bible based world view, and was ignorant of science. I sorrow for those who read the book of lies, and don't learn actual facts.😮
If there were actual facts in the bible, Then christians would have predicted cosmology before galileo. Read the works of martin luther, And the charges against giordano bruno, And it's abundantly clear the bible without science leads you off the edge of a flat earth.
My wife thought that the Moon somehow gives out its own light, and her uncle was shocked to find out that our Sun is a star.
They, and their extended family constantly fall for all kinds of scams and conspiracy theories, and still, that doesn't motivate them to learn science or be more sceptical.
that's scary that she knows so little about actual science at the age of 67. I mean, in this day and age?? What, was she home-schooled or something?
That's like the majority of people in 3rd world countries

Leviticus talks about rinsing with water, but it never mentions soap.

This green screen background is hilarious to me. I’m just imagining Aron showing up at some random couple’s apartment and insisting on filming in their living room while they just go on about their business.
If Aron showed up at my house and insisted he film in it while I go about my day I would oblige. I mean, I don't KNOW know Aron, but I know him enough to trust he won't do anything untoward. If he was a total stranger that would be a different story.
I hope that Konner sees this and finally realizes how people like Ray Comfort have conned him all this time.
I think it is SO entertaining that Ray-ray-bananaman feels the need to go to islamic apologetics/excusegetes for ideas. The “science” in the koran, with blood-clot babies, sperm from the ribs, moons splitting, and all that, has been a trope now for quite a while.
Thank you for being one of the forward-thinkers and putting in the time to make our lives more educationally relevant.

Here you go Baller. Enjoy the Cog Dis. Let’s do a simple thought experiment using simplified math and the supposed velocities of globe-thinking:
The globe model's supposed avg orbital speed of earth around the sun: 67,000mph, & the globe model's supposed rotational speed of earth at the equator: ~1000mph
To simplify the thought experiment, assume the rotational axis of the earth is perpendicular to the plane of it's rotation around the sun.
Then at 12 noon, standing on the equator your total velocity including orbit speed + rotational speed would be 68,000mph in the direction of the orbit. Simply standing in that same place for 12 hours until midnight would have to then place you on the opposite side of the ball moving at only 66,000mph (orbital speed - rotational speed). That would mean a 2000mph deceleration/acceleration over 12 hours or 166mph change every hour. ...not to mention if you stayed in that same spot for another 6 months it would have to be dark at "noon" and mid-day bright at "midnight." Deceptively simple, but so obvious when you look.

thank you for doing this. after seeing the young man mention this 10 scientific facts video, i went straight to it and watched the whole thing, and couldn’t believe how many people actually found the video to be good information that makes sense. the whole video was ridiculous
I honestly think that at least part of it is Ray's presentation, at least in his "studio" videos (as opposed to his far more blatantly dishonest "man in the street" videos). He's got a fairly calming tone, which undercuts how much disinformation he's actually laying out. He may have the most gentle gish gallop out there, and for people who are already primed to believe him, it doesn't take much to suck them in.
A Mesopotamian clay tablet that dates back to 2200 BC describes three healing gestures”-washing the wounds using boiled water, making the plasters, and bandaging the wound. In ancient Egypt we we have even more advanced practices setting wounds draining and the natural antibiotic nature of honey. We lost a lot of knowledge in medieval times. The Ancients had so may medical techniques it would take too long to mention.
I think you've just been watching Kevin Hicks' latest video!
Paleo folk knew about the antiseptic properties of honey. Egyptians also used wine, and it was incorporated into their mummification process.
@@RichWoods23 He's good, isn't he
@@kellywalker1664Thats right. How many times have we seen aboriginal Hunter-gatherers today use local herbs for infections.
We also lost a lot because of the witch persecution the Catholic church did.
Historically women were the ones who handled most healing and had a lot of knowledge about herbs and stuff passed down to them by the previous healers.
The fact that healers of course got a lot of respect was something the woman hating church could not let be.
Hence branding them as witches and painting them as evil.
Fun fact: a decree to kill cats because they were "of the devil and witches familiars" probably made the black plague a lot worse since there weren't enough cats left to keep the vermin population under control.
it is wildly common i see people claim the quran or the bible is completely true and compatible with science. and it just baffles me. they either have no idea about science or they havent read their holy book. because there is no way someone can think like that while having any idea about science amd their holy book

That the Egyptians knew more than the Hebrews about Pi and Diabetes is a wee telling.
People say “what’s the harm in letting people believe” but the problem is that most religions are full of really BAD things. If people believed that there was a nice god that might be a different story. But as it is, just letting people believe whatever without challenging it gives us stuff like Saudi Arabia or Evangelicals.
To be fair, raccoons are quite intelligent. Which puts them a few steps above Ray Comfort
Rocket is a genius compared to him.
I thought if I was to try and make a line graph about one 'unclean' person, everybody and everything they touched and so on. The number of birds slaughtered, the amount of laundry, and the amount of isolation could be mind boggling. Where does it stop? How is any of this possible? I think if someone tried to follow the rules about what to do if they were 'unclean' would go bonkers in a short time. What does the bible have for us? Mental instability.
It is unclean turtles all the way down.
I haven't heard Ray Comfort's voice in a long time, can't say I missed it.
Has anyone seen that video called "satans guide to the bible"? Its an hour and a half long and animated kind of like south park. Really awesome stuff and was 10 years in the making.
Just one note on number 3: The original story, from western India, likely the Indus Valley, has the same characters, but is more realistic. The ark is circular, hence it cannot capsise. When they say pairs of animals referencing their "world," they mean it in the small sense, as in, "You are part of my world," i.e., "a part of what I know." That's why people used to say, "the *known* world," because they knew there was more yet to be known to themselves.
So, somewhere in western India, a man had his sons help him make a huge circular raft, into/onto which he and they could load pairs of all the animals they found useful, should a flood come. A monsoon ensued, a flood came, they loaded up the farm and family, floated around, the rain subsided, the waters went down, and they found themselves on high ground, from whence they continued their lives, presumably using the boat materials to make their homes. Their descendants populated the local land. The End.
And then the story went west, and into Gilgamesh, among others, and thence west again, into the Hebrew Bible. Good stories get shared and modified, as you know.
Meanwhile,

What gives you the impression that circular boats can't capsize?
this is an excellent video format for you! Would love to see more like this. The intro debate leading to this video was the absolute cherry on top.
Hey AronRa, thank you for the humanist work you keep doing. I hoped i could suggest you make videos about the psychology of belief. Rationality, fallacies but looked at from a neuralogical, brain science perspectives perhaps with intellectual representatives of those fields to tell us and maybe show us research and studies showing why people do what they do on biological and chemical level. If people don't understand the rationale, perhaps the biology will be more convincing to those that appeal alot to authority. Hoping, not demanding. Shouts Out from Uganda. "The pratt list hits different when one is actually open to the thoughts.😂"
I second this. It's an area about which I'd love to learn more.
I think many get indocrinated/brainwashed as children. Such conditioning is extremely difficult to break. They're taught to believe from a very, very young age. And they're taught so much, and so strongly, that they just can't break out of it. Part of this teaching is psychological in how it's done, too.
@@skarnak1 The more the reason to understand these underlying processes that lead to this. What neural pathways light up, how do they light up, how environmental conditions affect which parts leading to so and so and so on. I mean an extra solidification in an understanding of things just makes it easier. This might be personal but i find it easy to comprehend things once i know how they operate.
I really enjoyed your series about how the flood couldn’t have happened. It was a real eye opener for me! Thanks for keeping up the good fight.
@EnthusiasticTent-xt8fh No. Watch his Noah's Ark video about how thousands of animals couldn't have gotten to iraq, swimming thousands of miles across oceans. There's 0 way those animals could have been redespersed, either. Penguins and polar bears can't live in Iraq. Thousands of animal remains that were supposedly on the ark have never been found either. No kangaroos or penguins or sloth remains have been found trying to get back to where they came from. Now do this times THOUSANDS of animals! It's a story, bro
@@EnthusiasticTent-xt8fh Of course! "Magic" explains everything!
Because it explains nothing.
I remember when I was younger -- people would discourage me from reading the bible alone.
They would always mention having the "proper translation/interpretation".
Then I realized it's because they only wanted me to read certain books or just a few chapters of a book --- "Cherry pick" ...
There are so many parts of the bible people won't go over in bible studies & such.
(I understood why when I read through the entire bible -- I genuinely studied it & even considered going to trinity or moody to further my study)
But if you question them -- that's a big no no or I don't know any better. #FOH
Religion = Control/ rule over the mass of people. 💯
That is crazy. Reading by urself is THE best way to learn. I read the Bible at least 30 minutes a day. I still find new things every day. It is awesome!!!
@Jin - same here.
I fully expected to go to seminary at Brigham Young University.
But I made the mistake of reading the Bible myself, cover to cover, which gradually made me realize there are contradictions in the Bible, and contradictions with demonstrable reality and recorded history.
Asking these questions got me answers like "you just need to have faith and God will reveal the truth", which of course he never did.
I read the Bible cover to cover, twice as a believer, twice while in my crisis of faith, and twice since becoming an atheist.
@@Starhawke_Gaming So u find these contradictions and run away. Hmm. I can't lie. I saw contradictions too. It is hard not too. The Book is bigger than War and Peace and written by many authors over a span of thousands of years.
Those contradictions made me dig deeper and investigate what was going on. I found that what I thought was a contradiction was not.
Having said that, I do frequent channels like this partly because people raise some interesting questions about the Bible and faith. There is 1 that I am currently stuck on. But, I know the answer will come to me. It always has. But if it doesn’t...
True. Big part in losing my faith was that I read the Bible on my own. Without scholars preparing a soft landing from the harsh words. And without skipping a lot of the really horrible, ridiculous, alienating and self-contradicting passages.
@@jamesmiller7457 - perhaps you missed the part where I DID lament, research, dig deeper, and beg God for answers and my religious leaders for answers, for approximately 10 years, before finally figuring out that it is all just folklore and faerie tales written by men, and not the divinely inspired word of God.
God didn't invent man, man invented god.
I like the background, though the rain sound makes me a bit sleepy. 😅 Always fun to see more dismantling of Ray's arguements.
The cat was cute.
Aron, I thank you for all that you do. Thank you for the time you take to study, write, and record to share your knowledge and debunk mythology.
I have been an atheist since August, and I'm so ashamed to have once been a Christian.
You've helped me to think more rationally, for which I thank you so much.
Welcome! Go easy on yourself; indoctrination and in-group thinking are very powerful. Religion is comforting and fulfills many of our basics needs while soothing our greatest fears. ❤
@erinelizabethmsw5137 The comfort derived from faith does not substantiate the existence of the divine, rendering it irrational.
@@Johnmhatheist I was speaking to your shame. Personally, I don’t think a history of religiosity is anything to be ashamed of. While religion itself isn’t logical, it’s no surprise most living people have some sort of faith. It fulfills primitive needs, wants, and desires like social safety, explaining what can’t (currently) be known, and soothing existential dread. Some people seek truth and logic and are able to leave their faith. Others can’t. Good for you for being able to. And thank goodness for people like Aron who help!
@erinelizabethmsw5137 I truly apologize. When you mentioned how "comforting" religion is, I thought you were a theist trying to defend it. Please forgive me.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I honestly also see the 16 years I spent as a Christian, I say 16 because I was baptized at the age of 10 and became an atheist at 26, as embrassing, but it's an advantage since I know the Bible so well. I even preached the gospel for a few years in hispanic churches of Christ all over the state of Texas and even various parts of Mexico. I use the Bible to show how mythological and stupid it is.
@@Johnmhatheist No worries! I looked back at my original post and thought, yikes! Not clear enough! 🙈
I really did enjoy the young man stepping up and debating Aaron. However, this was like watching your local boy scout troop taking on the Army 10th mountain division.
I get that, but it’s still refreshing when someone puts their money where their mouth is. That involves the inherent risk of looking like a fool or even - Roland forbid - learning something.
@leithcrowther6086 absolutely agree 👍
I always love the 'circle of the earth' thing. Somehow describing the earth as a shape that is I'm pretty sure by definition flat proves it's actually a globe. Makes a lot of sense.
He must be thinking the ancient Hebrews didn't have a word for sphere. If they thought it was a sphere, they would have written "sphere".
@@JoeyGee1000 Even if they technically didnt have a word for sphere, they probably had a word for ball. Or rock.
that old lady impression was gold
Never mind some periods can be abnormal and last more than a week, due to things like POCOS, fibroids, etc.
When he said "it's by Ray Comfort" I laughed too XD
I love Aron's videos. He simplifies the scientific process for someone like myself who barely graduated High school. Plus Aron makes the banana man look like an a$$ is an extra bonus. Thanks Aron!
I can listen to this man talk all day long.
Minor nitpick, Earth doesn't rotate at 1000mph because you don't rotate in mph. You rotate in rpm or rads/s or something similar.
Consider that linear speed varies over the planet with the poles having 0mph and around 1042mph at the equator.
I love how at the end, the kids says, oh. I know that was from a previous discussion, but nicely done.
Love your intelligent takedown of various apologists!
And your understanding & explanations of science, biology, chemistry, physics & other topics you discuss
I thought I was watching this video and then it disappeared, only to re-appear again before my eyes, LMAO! Hope it stays this time! 😊👍
I really appreciate your deep dives into stuff like this. As a Formon (former mormon), the KJV is still rattling random verses around in my head. Thank you, sir! ❤ from the PNW :)
There's a reason why most flat-earthers are also Christian fundamentalists.
there is also a reason that if given fifteen seconds to rant, they'll take a pop at public schooling.
stupid is as stupid does.
You have such a succinct way of putting things. It is both simple and elegant, but still thorough in its execution. You really are brilliant.
Its comforting to know that if I ever get really broke, and I'm willing to throw out my integrity, I can become a YT apologist and lie through my teeth to make a living.
The Wholly Fables aka the Bible. As a scientific book😂😂😂😂😂
At least Christian’s aren’t building secret tunnels under their churches
@@sleepisthecousinofdeath7395 You certain about that? History, architectural surveys, existing ruins, archaeology, etc, etc continue to show that quite a few Christians have been surprisingly busy little burrowers under their own (and other) religious structures in the past. Such naughty little children! Digging like rabbits, trying to breed like rabbits... brains like rabbits?
@@sleepisthecousinofdeath7395 How would you know? They are secret lol
I am reminded at times like this that the people who wrote this were nomads crossing deserts, where washing with water was a luxury. Truly they lived in primitive conditions. Ignorant, too.
Great video.
It's sad and mind-boggling to see that, in this 21st century, so many people are compelled to polish the turd that is the Bible.
Keep up the good work, Aron. I was raised in a fundamentalist denomination and was an ordained Christian minister for decades. The apologists know they're being intellectually dishonest, as I did.
I found it amusing you used the word 'turd' as the original authors used this concept but 'hidden' in statements like 'l am the bread of life'= 'l am full of turds'. These Romans made bread mixed with their own turds and fed it back (the multitudes) to the starving Je ws. The word 'lump' = turd...so it's all through the NT! So what you said is quite appropriate.
It's not a turd, though. The Biblical writings are still profound only contempt for the ancients and drastic modern misunderstanding would have otherwise.

@@ishmaelforester9825 what you are reading in the bible are ancient Sumerian and Egyptian mythology and philosophy... later it was Greek! The NT was a satire about a 'jesus' being a saviour when he was an enemy of the author. This author and the other family members had 💩 jokes about 'jesus' all through the NT.
@@ishmaelforester9825 Yes it's a turd.
A genocidal narcissist God who condones and engages in barbarity.
The "nice" passages don't compensate. Aesop's fables are more profound minus the garbage.
What happened to original upload?
7:12 Did Ray call Ignaz Semmelweis “Agnus”?😂 Sheepish much?
I just now stumbled onto this video from Aron. I like the vibe, especially the coffee shop background! You are a bit refreshing from Matt Dillahunty, who continually gets frustrated from theist callers and reduces himself to needlessly shouting expletives. Than you Aron!
I often aspire to reach the level of intellectual maturity, understanding, and class that you have Aaron. You’re a big idol for me. I often do not speak openly about my atheistic views in part because I could never get my message across like you do. Well done.
The “hanging on nothing” is directly translated from the Hebrew as “absolutely nothing”.
This is what always used to get to me back when I was an apologist. Gravity is FAR from an “absolutely nothing”.
The momentum of the elliptical trajectory speed of earth’s 67,000 mph due to being bound to our sun is FAR from an “absolutely nothing”.
Our sun’s elliptical trajectory speed of 489,000 mph around the astronomical gravitational Milky Way, that our earth is unavoidably bound to follow, is FAR from an “absolutely nothing”.
The milky way’s momentum of 1.3 million miles an hour, that our sun, and our planet, is unavoidably bound to follow, is FAR from an “absolutely nothing”.
Quite the contrary.
So, I’m guessing their “god” would rather lie than actually educate.
Thank god he doesn’t exist, but rather human’s desire for genuine knowledge , and its subsequent understandings does.
I called out Ray Comfort years ago. I was surprised when he responded, not denying the fact I’d called him a charlatan. The only truth he’s ever spoken😂
Your video with the old earth creationists correcting the young earthers is really enjoyable. I watched a discussion with young earth creationists and old earth creationists and they spent half of the time arguing on what a day is.
Found you from the line. Love the energy you bring. You inspire me to be a better person. Thank you Aron!
The moment he said "Ray Comfort" I knew we were in for some lulz.
Also, no matter how many times I hear it that intro music slaps.
😊
One of the absolute best on RUclips or anywhere.
Fantastic information
The book is definitely wrong as it never talks about the earth resting on the back of an endless succession of turtles. It is, of course, turtles all the way down. 🐢🌍🤣😂
Aron! I love the ambient background. The cafe and rain keep me from banging my head on the table to Ray's voice
that "oh" when he realised that his entire reality was false and hed been lied to was priceless
you can literally hear him realise that the last attempt wasn't a gotcha. ooooof
There were two arc's, Noah's and Fred's. Fred's sank. Fred had all the dinosaurs. Too bad, isn't it!
And all the telephone sanitizers.
I knew it. Damnit Fred, you're the reason I can't ride my pet parasaurolophus around looking all badass! Son of a bitch Fred, you should have built the God™ Boat not your stupid human boat! I'm about to go Veruca Salt over here..."But daddy, I want a dinosaur. GET ME A DINOSAUR NOW!!!"
Correction, Fred only had half od the dino's, on half an ark - hence it sinking. His ex had half of the other dino's and ark, the entire house, all of Fred's sheckels (even those that he made before he first met her), the kids, the pet dog, and nasty rugged sex with Fred's lawyer - hence him only having half of the dino's and half an ark... Fred got screwed harder than his lawyer screwed his ex.
It's nice to see intelligent conversation on the matter of fictional characters, I enjoy listening to your work while I work.
Beautifully done. Thank you, sir.
@AronRa Thank you for the work that you do.
The quarantine story bothers me a bit:
They quarantined people suffering from the plague in the 14th century. Initially for 30 days, but later for 40, giving rise to the term quarantine.
Great video AronRa. You addressed each point head on and was on point.
Hey!
We're in that series about how noah's ark can't have happened XD
We're on that playlist!
Nice! ^^
My actual freedom and fulfillment came when I dropped religion I am so grateful I didn’t waste my entire life on it
I saw this video yesterday! Must have been a divinely inspired prophecy?
Hi, interesting facts. Love to listen to you. By the way from which game is the background video? The one with the cafe and the ppl working at their laptops. Is it a Sims mod?
I love this interaction! Aron, YOU are so awesome for taking your time with this young and bright mind.
Great work
Aron Ra and Potholer54 on the same day. But Christmas was last month!
Wow. Just wow. Best video in a long while debunking crazy ideas
As soon as konner said "Ray Comfort" I just about fell over laughing!
Great stuff. I covered this Ray comfort nonsense. He hit me with 3 copyright strikes that i beat......The video is absolutely silly
Im surprised to hear you say that Sauropods were "pretty stupid" after having recently watched an interview with R.T.Bakker, who spoke of them being rather intelligent based on their familial habits derived from fossil footprints, egg clutches etc. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on this.
Thanks for the videos, they've entertained me for many an hour 😄
I like the way you punch holes in Bible logic.
Thank you for helping me see more of the" light."
Racoons don't wash their food to clean it, but they have an incredible sense of touch. They'll often wet their paws to feel food out which can help food memory. They also often hunt small creatures in water, where sight/underwater sight may fail them touch does not. Great video as always.
