@Ken North , I just love to watch Christians say it's impossible for something to come from nothing. Then squirm while making special pleading arguments exempting the biblical god from their own criteria.
What makes this all even funnier is that I just saw an apologist argue that science saying that minerals in rocks were part of the chemical process leading to life is "scientific proof" of the Bible - y'know, 'cause of the "made from dirt" stuff 'n' all.
@@whoviating, Had one tell me they could prove God exist. So told her to pick something from the Bible and prove it. She picked Noah and the flood and her proof was she saw it in a movie once. Religion needs it's followers to be naive and gullible in order to survive.
I mean, technically, and based on my rudimentary understanding, abiogenesis IS the evolution of non-organic matter into amino acids, and then into self replicating RNA.... due to environmental conditions and pressures. .. so I could understand the confusion in semantics... but let's not give the snake oil salesmen credit for using that semantic confusion to spread disinformation, misinformation, and just straight up lies... they absolutely refuse to learn the science bc they risk tainting their foundational beliefs with the truth, bc that would mean admitting they've lied and don't deserve the attention they've garnered. Then have the audacity to insult our intelligence and honesty. Literal willful ignorance.
@Nicki Adulting kind of, but not really. In some definitions of evolution, sure, but in the biological term, no. Abiogenesis refers to the emergence of life from chemistry yes. But evolution is a process by which generation based change occurs in organism populations. One is chemistry creating living things the other is change in the offspring of living things over several generations. Though change over time and development of new things which can be used as a definition for evolution like the evolution of human languages. I think abiogenesis falls there more easily. In general, just remember they are similar, even connected but not quite the same, and while one leads to another one is not technically the other.

Scientist: Rocks and minerals played a key part in the origin of life. Matt Powell: "Hurr durr, came from a rock" The flood myth is a huge part of Matt's faith. And when a large number of animals are kept in prolonged confinement, manure inevitably plays a key part in the story. If we apply Matt's reasoning, we can clearly see that his faith came from shit.
That's still one of the dumbest strawman that both he and Kunt Hovind refuse to stop saying. I mean, they do realize a potion of our body chemistry is minerals, right? And that their god literally made people out of dust and dirt? Who am I kidding, of course they know, they just don't care. Grifters and charlatans, both of them.
Word of advice for Matt Powell: If you can prove existence of God, don't waste time on RUclips or TikTok. Go straight to the media and become the most famous individual that ever lived. Fame and untold riches await for anyone that can succeed, where 2000+ years of apologetics and theology failed.
@@jeb6314 have you not seen the 1994 documentary, _Junior_ that follows Alex Hesse, an Austrian-American scientist who agrees to undergo a male pregnancy?
@@AnnoyingNewsletters No, I haven't heard of that. I have wondered if some folks who have sex-change surgery would try to get pregnant. Even then the person would be currently female, only formerly male.
The point that's often missed with Powell, Kunt Hovind, Ray Cumfart, William Lie Craig and co is that they're pursuing a business model. Being "uneducated" or "stupid" isn't the issue. They're knowingly manipulating a vulnerable audience to make money.
I agree with most of them, but I genuinely think that Matt believes every word that comes out of his mouth. Hes a zealot and that makes him all the more dangerous.
@@marcusreading3783 Yeah. MP is either a brilliant actor or his earnest seriousness is genuine. I often think he's trying to persuade himself that what he's committed himself to is actually true.

@@marcusreading3783 I disagree. Sometimes it is visible how hard he is trying to keep a straight face while spewing out the most blatant lies.

7:48 The quoted article is not a scientific paper written by scientists an published by a scientific journal. It's a popularisation of science, written by a third party. I just thought I'd make that clear.
@@grip4us which is why his claims on everything we "believe" is disingenuous at best. Pop science is fine if you want a quick overview, but the details tend to be more nuanced and slower to progress to a conclusion that's not even concrete, particularly the way laypeople might understand it. And he's even mischaracterizing THAT to arrive at a garbage talking point to deliberately lie to people already on his side. Because the line in HIS book about false witness doesn't apply to him, apparently. Which is something we see a lot of in Evangelical Christian leadership. They can break whatever commandment they want.
He's a child. Brainwashed from infancy to stay as childish as possible. People say he believes in magic, "nuh uh YOU believe in magic!". People say believing in god is stupid, Matt says "nuh uh YOU believe in god because YOU'RE stupid!". People point out that faith is bad, Matt responds with "UR MOM". He's lashing out because he's so brain-dead that he doesn't understand _why_ people are saying those things to him. He's incapable of empathy and comprehension. Like an infant, crying because Mom yelled at him to stop beating the other kids with their toys. It's borderline psychopathy.
When I was pregnant the ingredients for my baby came from the food I ate. Does that mean babies come from food? No! So neither does life come from the rocks which provided the ingredients
quit feeding the baby food and give it just pure clean water, see if it continues to grow... babies come from an egg and sperm cell it grows due to food which is made of elements and compounds from the ground which is the results of rocks breaking down and organic materials breaking down and reforming in the shape of food. And all of this came from stars exploding over the last 13 billion years...

I recently had a short, but intense argument with a fundamentalist street preacher. The man was just like Matt Powell, completely ignorant about science and evolution. After ten minutes of trying to have a measured conversation with him I simply walked away. I will simply try to avoid such people in the future. They are fanatics and in the case of Matt Powell, seriously dangerous!
He's actually called for the lawful summary execution of anyone who's homosexual, and it wasn't hyperbole, he absolutely meant it. Up to that point I thought he was just an ignorant bible literalist, but he's a spiritual brother of the Taliban. If he could turn the country into a theocratic dictatorship he'd do it.
@character THats nice. Is there a point in there or are you just quoting fiction at random? I can do that to. The 'perfect being', you said? Well.... I have to tell you the honest truth, as I see it. In this world, nothing perfect exists. It may be a cliche, after all... but it's the way things are. That's precisely why ordinary men persue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation.... But ultimately, I have to ask myself: what is the true meaning of being perfect? And the answer I came up with was: nothing. Not. One. Thing. The truth of the matter is, I despise perfection. If something is truly perfect, that's it. The bottom line becomes. There is no room for imagination. No space for intelligence. Or ability. Or improvement! Do you understand?! To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness! Always strive to be better than anything that came before you, but not perfect. Scientists agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are. We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp and trying to reach for something that, in the end, we have to admit, may in fact be unreachable! In other words... You may think that we operate on the same level, but you are wrong. The moment you talked about perfection, you embraced an impossible concept and already lost to me.... that is, of course, if you are indeed a scientist, at all. -Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Bleach episode 300. See?
I am so confused... What was that little skit Matt did at the end there? I don't even know what he was supposed to be doing, and I'm not convinced he knew either.
Good analogy Patrick Linford. Rocks are involved, and pretty much essential but, so are a lot of other factors, sunlight for example which plays it's part in many different ways alone, then all the other things that all had to come together and were almost bound to under the right conditions somewhere in this vast universe over the billions of years this one's been here for.

I fell asleep in the back of class, and I'm not a young earth creationists, or even a theist. I think that would take indoctrination, and it's not just what you are taught, but the way you are taught to think. If you can think critically and avoid logical fallacies, you can be sleepy and have ADD without being a complete jerk like this bafoon. Anyways he defiantly went to private school for Christians .
I'm not nearly qualified to debate this subject as well as Aron Ra or Professor Dave, but if I was, and I faced young Mr. Powell, I would only call him by his full name, Mathew. I would make it clear to his face that I'm using his full name because when an adult corrects a child, they always call the child by his full given name.
God is magical in every aspect of Its being. Theologians downplay this because it makes them look childish (and, dare I say, insane). But in reality, a rejection of magic is a rejection of God. If no magic, then no God. There is NO magic.
They somehow don't understand that magic and miracles are synonymous, so they get quite defensive when we point out that, _God did it_ circumvents an actual explanation, instead insisting that it was magically created.
Magic is, almost definitionally, altering reality, against the laws of physics, to make the impossible possible. How they think making a universe "out of nothing", or multiplying food, or making water wine, etc. isn't literally magic is beyond me.
We're viewing the master builder of straw men. Note his technique and the utter vacuousness of his stare. What concentration! The magnitude of his mental gymnastics to come up with a half-coherent point 1 in 1000 attempts.
There is only one space I know of where someone needs to create something out of nothing, and that is the space between Matt's ears. That void is clearly the best example of vacuity.
Someone who believes in magic, an invisible man living in the sky, a dead man rising from the grave and flying up into the sky telling others to grow up. You just gotta admire the hypocrisy and self disconnect.
He is wrong about the explosions only creating chaos and destruction. I'm a welder, and there is a process where we use explosives to weld different sheets of steel together across the whole surface. Also we make an orb out of flat stee plates, it looks kind of like a hexagon but in 3D. Then we put a charge inside of it, make the banger go bang and, presto. You have an orb. Check the footage out on line. Also, is Matt a troll? Like the king of trolls? Because if so, amazing!
LMAO. I do not know if you realized that you used a clip of Lucifer talking to Sam from the show Supernatural but I am dying.....That is hilarious. Well chosen image!
Only 2? Hasn't he read any of the creation myths from ancient religions? They're always good for a laugh, especially the Egyptian creation myth where their god's staff of creation, ahem, overflowed shall we say.
Jesus literally claims to be a door. As a carpenter, he'd be the expert on doors, so we can trust him to be correct about this. If you bury a door in water, it will rise again. Doors float, so if they could walk, they could walk on water. It makes sense to *_nail_* a door a *_cross_* a threshold.
I assume quote mining is allowed for bible thumpers like Matt and Kent (and all the others), because... god... bible... you damn atheist are not allowed to use that god-given tool of deliberate lying.
Oh, he so obviously knows he's talking out of his bottom. His body language, the look, the tone. Nothing about him waffling on about those articles was genuine. It looked like a school kid who didn't finish their project making stuff up by citing some impressive words they heard so far and filling in the gaps by making stuff up from there.
I take issue with you calling Matt a spanner. Those are useful and may contribute to a positive outcome. A spanner has the potential to make someone’s life better. 🔧
Funny how these people constantly tell you that science is false or is wrong, but SUDDENLY, the SAME science that is always false and wrong ALSO for some reason "proves" the existence of "god".
Concerning Matt's little skit, I think he oversold the "guy looking clueless and confused" character role. He really didn't need to try and act any different from normally, and he would have nailed that.
When did articles in populist media become the same as a scientific paper? Also, the argument against his claim is in the very next line of at least one of those.
The life came from rocks thing is one of the only arguments of theirs I understand and have some sympathy for. It is technically true, it's just grossly oversimplified. Most of the components that make up life did come from rocks. The issue is one of semantics. They then twist this to make it sound like we think rocks magically turned into life which is going too far. It's hard to correct though since the core of their nonsense is true, life is made of the stuff that came from rocks. So just telling them that we don't think that is technically us lying. We do think that life came from rocks.
@@terrencelockett4072 Yes, it is, but the fact that it's a semantic argument IS the problem. Just dismissing it by claiming it's not true is technically lying because it's an issue of semantics. It's misleading, not false.
It's funny how Matt and Kent never mention Genesis 2:7 ("And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.") when they talk about science talking about evolution? Matt: "It's rediculous to believe life came from rocks." Also Matt: "God made man from dirt."
10:49 Come on SkepTick, we both know why apologists NEVER listen to what atheists (or skeptics) actually say about what they ACTUALLY believe. It's far more fun to tell your followers what you want atheists to believe than to learn what atheists actually believe. This has been going on all the way back to Paul, see Romans 1:20 for details.
So much projection. I play video games and watch anime. Do I think the characters are real? No. It's just fun escapism. I almost feel bad for Matt as I see a guy who never grew up & still believes that he has an imaginary friend along with the monster under the bed.
Knowing Matt, he probably thinks that makes you childish, while being completely ignorant about teh incredible ADULT stories that come from both. I've actually been seriously tempted to get that video where he said that we shouldnt listen to people who still like 'nicolodian' and splice in clips from the Anime on the people he was talking abouts walls to make a point that no, those are NOT for kids.

British insults are pretty good but you really should specifically reach for Scottish insults because they take the British insults and bump it up a few notches! Lol
Usual answer: he/she/it always existed, timeless. Doesn't answer any question, but usually silences a few people. The next question is, if god was timeless and always existed, why did he decide to create the universe when he created it? Why not earlier, why not later, why at all, why only one? But I know, a human is not able to understand god's ways, the usual answer of apologists. That however would raise the question, if humans can't understand god's ways, how can apologists claim to understand them?
Matt: " Atheists believe man came from a rock."
Me: " Says the man that believes man came from dirt."

E) someone who will pay afterlife infront God F) someone if he is right mostly he will Be NOTHING once death but if there is God and we are right and his or her heart will stop he will not know what to do once God will ask "why you did not believe in me" (what would you say?) (What a fool) G) someone who will feel strong now to deny God but hopefully he will not need, because if he will get down, depressed, older, alone and closer to death God is only things he get, but he is so stupid to do not get now H) someone who doesn't not even have an actual community I) someone who see atheist on Internet the term atheist and go writing some shit because he got no community... L) someone who deny his creator which we called lier m) a godenier so a lier by definition...
M) is someone who decide to do not have by purpose a sacred things as God and for free (what a poor person!)

You are playing with the fire, your problem Godless Fool!

Scientist: Rocks and minerals played a key part in the origin of life.
Matt Powell: "Hurr durr, came from a rock"
The flood myth is a huge part of Matt's faith. And when a large number of animals are kept in prolonged confinement, manure inevitably plays a key part in the story.
If we apply Matt's reasoning, we can clearly see that his faith came from shit.
That's still one of the dumbest strawman that both he and Kunt Hovind refuse to stop saying. I mean, they do realize a potion of our body chemistry is minerals, right? And that their god literally made people out of dust and dirt? Who am I kidding, of course they know, they just don't care. Grifters and charlatans, both of them.

He also believe god made Adam out of mud, thus, mud is a key part of his belief, so mudman matt here thinks he's made out of mud

Word of advice for Matt Powell: If you can prove existence of God, don't waste time on RUclips or TikTok. Go straight to the media and become the most famous individual that ever lived. Fame and untold riches await for anyone that can succeed, where 2000+ years of apologetics and theology failed.
He could be as famous as the first man ever to get pregnant. Neither is remotely possible.
And until you CAN prove the existence of God, STFU Matt and quit annoying people.

@@AnnoyingNewsletters No, I haven't heard of that. I have wondered if some folks who have sex-change surgery would try to get pregnant. Even then the person would be currently female, only formerly male.

Daily reminder that Matt Powell has a giant inflatable banana named Dr. Peel in his backyard that he's taken as a lover.
Don’t rag on Dr. Peel like that.
I dunno, that implies consent on the banana's part.
Matt must hate Scimandan. And there's a lot of hate in him..
Matt is DREAMING that Dr. Peel would be his lover. Dr. Peel won't ever allow that to happen.
@@Kualinar Dr Peel probably deflates when he sees Powell approaching him with that look in his eyes.😃
The point that's often missed with Powell, Kunt Hovind, Ray Cumfart, William Lie Craig and co is that they're pursuing a business model. Being "uneducated" or "stupid" isn't the issue. They're knowingly manipulating a vulnerable audience to make money.
I agree with most of them, but I genuinely think that Matt believes every word that comes out of his mouth. Hes a zealot and that makes him all the more dangerous.
@@marcusreading3783 Yeah. MP is either a brilliant actor or his earnest seriousness is genuine. I often think he's trying to persuade himself that what he's committed himself to is actually true.

@@marcusreading3783 I disagree. Sometimes it is visible how hard he is trying to keep a straight face while spewing out the most blatant lies.

@@eisbombenterror Oh, I am well aware that he likely knows that hes lying on some points, but he absolutely believes the absolute tripe he spouts about minority groups and I 100% believe that he believes hes doing the 'right thing' by lying about those things to bring people to god.

OK,I watched that bathroom skit like 5 times and I still can't figure out what he was trying to do.
7:48 The quoted article is not a scientific paper written by scientists an published by a scientific journal. It's a popularisation of science, written by a third party. I just thought I'd make that clear.
Good to know!!!
He never quotes from the original papers, he always goes to popular press reports.
@@grip4us which is why his claims on everything we "believe" is disingenuous at best. Pop science is fine if you want a quick overview, but the details tend to be more nuanced and slower to progress to a conclusion that's not even concrete, particularly the way laypeople might understand it. And he's even mischaracterizing THAT to arrive at a garbage talking point to deliberately lie to people already on his side. Because the line in HIS book about false witness doesn't apply to him, apparently. Which is something we see a lot of in Evangelical Christian leadership. They can break whatever commandment they want.
I swear the projection coming from Matt Powell can light up a movie theatre.
I find him too dim to light up a doll house never mind a movie theatre.

Several theaters! It's a massive amount of projection!
He's a child. Brainwashed from infancy to stay as childish as possible. People say he believes in magic, "nuh uh YOU believe in magic!". People say believing in god is stupid, Matt says "nuh uh YOU believe in god because YOU'RE stupid!". People point out that faith is bad, Matt responds with "UR MOM".
He's lashing out because he's so brain-dead that he doesn't understand _why_ people are saying those things to him. He's incapable of empathy and comprehension. Like an infant, crying because Mom yelled at him to stop beating the other kids with their toys. It's borderline psychopathy.

quit feeding the baby food and give it just pure clean water, see if it continues to grow... babies come from an egg and sperm cell it grows due to food which is made of elements and compounds from the ground which is the results of rocks breaking down and organic materials breaking down and reforming in the shape of food.

After ten minutes of trying to have a measured conversation with him I simply walked away. I will simply try to avoid such people in the future. They are fanatics and in the case of Matt Powell, seriously dangerous!

@character THats nice. Is there a point in there or are you just quoting fiction at random? I can do that to.
The 'perfect being', you said? Well.... I have to tell you the honest truth, as I see it. In this world, nothing perfect exists. It may be a cliche, after all... but it's the way things are. That's precisely why ordinary men persue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation....
But ultimately, I have to ask myself: what is the true meaning of being perfect?
And the answer I came up with was: nothing. Not. One. Thing.
The truth of the matter is, I despise perfection. If something is truly perfect, that's it.
The bottom line becomes.
There is no room for imagination. No space for intelligence. Or ability. Or improvement! Do you understand?!
To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness! Always strive to be better than anything that came before you, but not perfect. Scientists agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection!
That's the kind of creatures we are. We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp and trying to reach for something that, in the end, we have to admit, may in fact be unreachable!
In other words...
You may think that we operate on the same level, but you are wrong. The moment you talked about perfection, you embraced an impossible concept and already lost to me....
that is, of course, if you are indeed a scientist, at all. -Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Bleach episode 300.

Matty is evidence of what happened to the kid in high school who fell asleep in the back of the chemistry and biology class.
Fell asleep, yes. But from _huffing the fumes._ While eating his lead paint chip sandwiches.
I fell asleep in the back of class, and I'm not a young earth creationists, or even a theist.

God is magical in every aspect of Its being. Theologians downplay this because it makes them look childish (and, dare I say, insane). But in reality, a rejection of magic is a rejection of God. If no magic, then no God. There is NO magic.
They somehow don't understand that magic and miracles are synonymous, so they get quite defensive when we point out that, _God did it_ circumvents an actual explanation, instead insisting that it was magically created.
Magic is, almost definitionally, altering reality, against the laws of physics, to make the impossible possible. How they think making a universe "out of nothing", or multiplying food, or making water wine, etc. isn't literally magic is beyond me.

Jesus literally claims to be a door.

Being British myself I laughed at all the insults lol ;)
LOL A bit of a plonker??? That's a bit of an understatement.
When did articles in populist media become the same as a scientific paper?
Also, the argument against his claim is in the very next line of at least one of those.
The life came from rocks thing is one of the only arguments of theirs I understand and have some sympathy for. It is technically true, it's just grossly oversimplified. Most of the components that make up life did come from rocks. The issue is one of semantics. They then twist this to make it sound like we think rocks magically turned into life which is going too far. It's hard to correct though since the core of their nonsense is true, life is made of the stuff that came from rocks.
So just telling them that we don't think that is technically us lying. We do think that life came from rocks.
The problem here is, if you're truly reading the scientific data behind the topic, it's almost dishonest to try and make that semantics argument.
Maybe rocks come from minerals _(the components)_ being pressed together..
@@terrencelockett4072 Yes, it is, but the fact that it's a semantic argument IS the problem. Just dismissing it by claiming it's not true is technically lying because it's an issue of semantics. It's misleading, not false.
It's funny how Matt and Kent never mention Genesis 2:7 ("And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.") when they talk about science talking about evolution?
Matt: "It's rediculous to believe life came from rocks."

10:49 Come on SkepTick, we both know why apologists NEVER listen to what atheists (or skeptics) actually say about what they ACTUALLY believe. It's far more fun to tell your followers what you want atheists to believe than to learn what atheists actually believe. This has been going on all the way back to Paul, see Romans 1:20 for details.
So much projection. I play video games and watch anime. Do I think the characters are real? No. It's just fun escapism. I almost feel bad for Matt as I see a guy who never grew up & still believes that he has an imaginary friend along with the monster under the bed.
Knowing Matt, he probably thinks that makes you childish, while being completely ignorant about teh incredible ADULT stories that come from both. I've actually been seriously tempted to get that video where he said that we shouldnt listen to people who still like 'nicolodian' and splice in clips from the Anime on the people he was talking abouts walls to make a point that no, those are NOT for kids.
Considering the bible's contents and assuming them to be true, his imaginary friend IS the monster under the bed.

I find it difficult to laugh at this guy, no matter how ridiculous some of his arguments are. He has such a hateful, poisonous views it's tough to lighten it, you know?
I hear you. He's a toxic, lying POS and he's been perfecting his act to sound more credible. People listen to these kinds of Aholes and that is bad for humanity.
Anytime someone mentions the big bang when talking about atheism, they're immediately disqualified from adult conversation.
Does Matt really not understand the science or does he not understand that reading the entire paper is necessary to really know what's in the paper?
They aren't even real scientific papers. They're just random articles he found on the Internet.
God damn, this thumbnail is something else 😂
He not only came from a rock, he still has them in his head!
"Thank Granite" and "Granite damnit" are now in my vocabulary. Thank you, Matt lol
British insults are pretty good but you really should specifically reach for Scottish insults because they take the British insults and bump it up a few notches! Lol
It's so painful to listen to him being so close to getting it…
How can you boldly defend something you can't prove? Dude is funny 🤣
So who created God? Or did he just poof into existence.
Magicked itself maybe!?
Specially pleaded into existence
Usual answer: he/she/it always existed, timeless. Doesn't answer any question, but usually silences a few people. The next question is, if god was timeless and always existed, why did he decide to create the universe when he created it? Why not earlier, why not later, why at all, why only one? But I know, a human is not able to understand god's ways, the usual answer of apologists. That however would raise the question, if humans can't understand god's ways, how can apologists claim to understand them?
Matt Powell “Scientists tell us that rocks beget life.” Tell me Mr Powell, what does your bible tell us the humans were made from?
