She looked at the evidence, changed her mind, AND corrected what she had put out so others would not be harmed by the misinformation? It's like she's an actual scientist or something.
And an intellectual honest individual, 😊, damn
Wow, crazy, no way???!!!
...like an honest, Honorable person in ANY Ptofession...
Ironically this is the critique that YEC have about science. As if it’s not a feature
@@yoeyyoey8937 YEC can never admit that they are making up sh*t. Apparently their science is based on mythology and will remain there.
Literally rewatching this because Erika doesn't deserve a viewer slap for having the best integrity on YT.
6:19 I think it's more accurate to say "Young Earth Creationists are stuck between a rock and a wet place" 🤣 (updated for accuracy - Erika already told us to be mindful of the difference 🤦♂ that was my bad)
Same.
Agree
What integrity?
@@frankhuggins9733 the fact that she made a mistake and is owning and correcting the information she put out pertaining to it.
Erika owning up to and correcting her mistakes is part of what makes this channel so good. Come on, my fellow gentle and very modern apes, let's reward the good behavior with views and likes.
Agreed! Much love to Erika!
yep, something YEC won't do
it's called intellectual honesty, if she didn't it's fuel for someone wanting to discredit her. This shouldn't be commendable behavior it should be EXPECTED, that we live in an era like this is more telling of ourselves than anything. Being right for the sake of being right (while wrong), I have a "christian" friend that loves to bring up how stupid evolution is, her proof "it's stoopid" lol.
Totally agree. We all make mistakes, nothing wrong with that. Admitting a mistake is always the best thing to do and will get you more respect.
As a proper scientist should.
It’s honestly a bummer that he’s NOT a creationist because I remember thinking, “Huh, a creationist that is willing to acknowledge problems and admit that they don’t have the answer.” I was genuinely impressed, and it made me question my bias against creationists. But of course, he’s not even a creationist, so I still have yet to find a competent and reasonable YEC.
Yeah, it was oddly almost a point in the guy's favor.
You can find honest creationists, but honest YEC? I'm not optimistic.
It's because every creationist who is concerned with the truth will eventually come to the conclusion that creationism is wrong.
I try to still be positive in acknowledging that at least a yec journal allowed a non yec to publish!
@@Maryum.Batool 100% good point
I was a young earth creationist until my late 20s. Homeschooled and lied to all my life, but luckily my desire for my "beliefs" to be true outweighed my fear of some deity torturing me. Now in my 40s I'm convinced there are only two types of young earth creationists; the liars, or the gullible. There is no way anybody can be a young earth creationist and spend any time at all testing their beliefs.
@AaronParker1977
It is awesome that you have worked to educate yourself out of your indoctrination.
I have an immense sympathy for anyone indoctrinated into religion as a child. Period. I consider it abuse - On the part of the institutions who continue to push out propaganda, using blatantly manipulative theological rhetoric, and misrepresentations of reality, wrapped in toxic messages encouraging 'othering' of anyone not affirming the 'truth' of their specific cult's interpretation of scripture.
I also have an immense amount of respect for anyone who, having doubts of some kind, sets out on n an intellectually honest mission to find out what is true, in spite of their genuine fears, or terror, even, if Hell was invoked to reprimand, and prevent them questioning what they were taught to believe.
I can't pretend to know what it's like to go through, but I imagine that it has to be very difficult to say the least, and emotionally overwhelming at times. (I know a lot of factors go into that, but still)
And I agree wholeheartedly, with your closing statement, particularly as it pertains to the institutes/ organizations that spew this toxic sludge onto the masses.
The fact that it is literally refuted by _all_ of examinable reality, means that they are being _very intentional_ in so consistently misrepresenting it.

It's a big ask to get someone to test their beliefs, when the evidence might turn their whole world upside down. But the Bible itself says that righteous people test the scriptures, priests, and scribes, because sometimes they lie. I'm an atheist, just mentioning what the Bible says, because it's such a good point.
@@Sarcasticron i yhink iy says test the spirits, because satan can appear as an angel of light, it says
im sorry your youth was stolen from you. there is so much practical good that the world needs that is denied and resisted by magical thinking and creationism in particular. just look at gaza for the ultimate conclusion of beliefs rooted in mysticism & zealously followed. that's how we get things like zionism and manifest destiny.

No. Mud is a substance that is formed rather quickly. Without it occurring naturally from grass development, I wouldn’t need to edge my yard or use the grass I edge out to have enough dirt to fill up the sinkhole.
Commitment to honesty and accountability!? Concise offerings of factual information? The low-key sass of a person with the brains to back it up!?

I would not call her concise. Comprehensive is more correct, in my opinion.
@@neil2796 I'll allow it!
@@neil2796-- Seconded. Erika is an ape of many talents, but concision is not one of them!
It's such an uphill battle when the core of creationist logic is "God did it with magic."
at least regular creationists say it with their whole chest - YEC pretending to do science about it is what really gets me
The problem is that is their core but then they lie and say it's scientific, and lie about the evidence to pretend it all works together.
Once it goes into non-science its not really worth arguing. God is inherently a metaphysical concept, science isnt MEANT to prove or disprove that kind of thing.
@@somethinginthepinesYes, science is about the natural world, and the deity of the xtians is a supernatural claim. I've heard many of them say this, but then say we still have to believe in their claim. I'm not sure how much logic they accept in their world view. 😊
Not really. Laughter is the response and a demand for proofs that are acceptable to all, not just people with faulty wiring in their heads.
I like how they use evolution to explain the variety of life after the flood, while contradicting everything we know about it.
@adrianpintea9675
The kicker is how much ground they've ceded over the years, as it has become more and more difficult to find ignorance holes to claim victory from.
The rapidity with which the prototype "kinds" would have to evolve, to produce the diversity we currently see, in uh 4000ish years, is comically absurd.
It's as gloriously stupid as the idea that the entirety of the planet's tectonic activity over billions of years, that results in the current lay of continents and mountain ranges, we have today, happened within a single year.
I've still never gotten an answer as to how the "kinds" held all their genetic variation in until after the Flood, so Noah could take those basic kinds on board.
Except the dinosaur kinds, apparently, who diversified tremendously to have so many species in ~1000 years since creation.
@@makeshift_quill I know! I know! There were many types of animals back then, just like there are now, and Noah just took a wolf-looking "dog-kind", a medium-sized "cat-kind", and so on with him. That makes the animal population on the ark about 50 animals at most. Then they all diversified again after they landed because Gawd did it..
See? I can be a koo-koo too. lol
@@makeshift_quillApparently Adam managed to name all the animals kinds. But that would mean that could not have been any new kinds.
It is also interesting that when describing the behemoth and the dragon to Jobs, they use description of the animals and not the name assigned by Adam. It is almost like they are describing a mythical creature!

@@glenecollins ultimately no argument rooted in logic can be applied because the system of thought is based on magical exceptionalism and arbitrary rule making. these ideas aren't grounded in rationality & therefore cannot meaningfully be addressed in rational terms. that's where every conversation has to start. we agree that creationism is totally made up & there's no defending or explaining it.

Favorite preclusionary argument: light from stars are redshifted by the maximum speed of light (which is found by testing laws of electromagnetism) and the distance for light to travel takes millions upon millions of years for the stars to even get to use, not just form. It relies upon the speed of light being constant and that hydrogen gives out a specific frequency (which is easily able to be measured in science labs today!)
This one is also my favorite!

LOVE this woman!!! She's THE best!!!
why yes, i will happily let erika fill my ear holes again :3
honestly, i think my favorite argument against young earth creationism is actually an anthropological one. we several completely disconnected myths about seven sisters, referencing a group of seven stars; except if you look for them today there only appear to be six. that’s because two of them got so close together from our perspective, they appear to just be one star, and likewise, the ancient myths all have one of the sisters disappearing for some reason. therefore, it makes sense to conclude that the stories were around for so long that they originated when you could see all seven, which is much longer than 6,000 years ago

Dug my comment up from the old video.
Proboscideans are my favorite YEC preclusion. Due to their gestational periods, the fact that twins are EXTREMELY rare, and food requirements, you'd need a hyper-mega caffeinated form of evolution that would result in one of the parents birthing at least TWO NEW SPECIES over their lifetime! And that says nothing about getting them to the population levels we know they've had.
Here for the replay

Algorithm-based engagement for my favorite gentle and of course very modern ape and the commitment you show to honesty and accuracy every video and every correction to a video you make.
Something so critical to the hearts and minds aspect of this crusade: The scientists and scholars delving into the natural history of our planet are not doing it to disprove the existence of God.
Yes they are. This is basically trying to claim the earth created itself. Which is really stupid.
The preclusion argument that I can repeat most easily is proboscideans.

Bonus engagements for correction and revisits - thanks for another educational half hour of crafting.
I just talked to some very devout Christians this morning and was reminded how everything that resembles a coincidence, irony, and anything unexplainable by their current level of education is evidence of the presence and direct action of God. Scientific inquiry doesn't even appear on the horizon of their world view, let alone earn actual consideration.
The same may be said of Trump supporters backing a mad non-scientist over reality.

My free contribution. I appreciate the corrections. It should be a standard for all things to keep content up to date and correct.
This reminds me of Bunnell Avenue, a huge upper level trunk passage in the Roppel Cave section of the Mammoth Cave System of Kentucky. A massive passage ends in calcite-covered breakdown (sparkling milky white and very pretty, but impenetrable). The pretty flowstone plug (still wet and active) goes from floor to ceiling and completely blocks this massive 5 to 10 meter high by 2 to 5 meter wide canyon.
As you walk/crawl up the gentle slope of the calcite plug near the overall ceiling of the passage, up on the left side there's a place where a big tributary of the same original passage branches off. The regional dip (incline) of the Cumberland Plateau is very minor, about one degree. So in cave passage formation, you have little meanders in the path of a passage, even places where the passage becomes "braided", different levels diverging and then reconnecting a few tens of feet further. Same process by which surface rivers meander in their courses, only in the cave, all the older routes of the river are preserved as the upper levels of braided passages.
So, looking at this little tributary, which isn't blocked by calcite, you think, what if it reconnects with the main passage but past the calcite plug? The calcite plug is massive, but its trickle-feed of water that deposits calcite is probably a point-like local structure, because of some local vertical crack that brings water in from the surface right there.
Looking at the top of this little branch off to the side, you can see over the top of the ancient clay fill, the last sediment load the passage ever carried. You can see for tens of meters further until your light is lost in the gloom. The clay comes within maybe 20 cm of the ceiling. Less than a foot. It's way too low to belly crawl. But you're laying on a 1 meter thick clay bank. Why not just dig a trench in the clay until it's tall enough to crawl through?
I asked if it was okay to try and dig a trench, and the leadership said, with a wink to each other, you go ahead and try it. So I did it, three separate trips with a crew digging a bit each time. What we found was, when you attack this with a camp shovel and a couple of paint scrapers to see if you can trench your way through, at first you can slice the clay into nice square "bricks" and drag them down the passage to dump. But pretty soon, with your body agitating the clay around you, it starts yielding up all this suspended moisture, and it all turns the consistency of chocolate frosting, and then honey. (Vocabulary word: thixotropy). Just a complete oily mess.
Whatever digging I did up in the ceiling of Bunnell Avenue back then (1991), someone else can continue, I'm done. We probably advanced six to eight feet, and there might be hundreds to go.
The oldest passages in Mammoth Cave are about 10,000,000 years old, and this might as well be one of them. It took time for that sediment to accumulate (see Gutsick video above), and even more for the passage to be finally abandoned as the upstream passages that supplied it broke through into lower levels, and left the mud load free to drain (albeit sitting on a very low gradient limestone floor), and slowly become clay.

Thanks for teaching me about the origin of clays.
creationists are basically saying that because you can see milk being turned to cheese with fermentation and time, that it can turn to cheese a day after going bad.
My favorite analogy is when they claim that things like volcanic ash can form layers of the geologic column very quickly, so it's silly to think it would take millions of years to get what we have. It's akin to saying that a cheetah can travel 50 miles in under an hour, so it's silly to think that a turtle needs multiple hours to travel the same distance.
Well exactly. You're comparing science to magic. If the universe had a magical origin, then yeah, all those aeons long processes happen in the blink of an eye
@@RollingCalf This bears repeating. It's incredibly common for religious people, or basically any believer in pseudoscience, to falsely assume that everyone thinks in the same way that they do, because information bubbles are strongly encouraged to prevent people from learning about things that preclude their false beliefs. But while it's significantly less common, atheists who follow science still sometimes make that same mistake. And when the mistake is made and not noticed, communication completely breaks down.
The one place I see this done the most is with the "religion requires magic" retort. A lot of people seem to think this is somehow an argument against religion, when to the religious mind, it's evidence FOR religion. "Magic doesn't exist" is not an axiom, and should not be treated as such. It is a conclusion that can be tentatively reached after investigating numerous claims of magical things and finding that not a single one is real in any meaningful way. And given that Christianity and a lot of other religions have magic strewn throughout them, if any of those religions were true, magic would _necessarily_ be real. You can only conclude magic is NOT real by proving the religion wrong. Which should now make it clear why it's a bad way to argue that it MUST be wrong.
Incidentally, every time someone makes this claim to a theist, they're accidentally supporting the "these people have an anti-supernatural bias" accusation, because it looks for all the world like they're saying "you can't be right because if you were right it would mean magic has to exist, and it doesn't", which is absolutely garbage logic.
So....do be more careful, everyone, with what arguments and proofs you provide for atheism and/or against theism. There are enough really strong arguments that we don't need to rely on the bad ones.

I was born from my parents, so you can technically say that I "evolved from" them, but that's stretching the term to places it doesn't really belong. Individuals don't evolve, ever. Once you're born, whatever you're born with is what you have for your whole life. Then you have a kid and that kid is always themselves, with part of you, part of the other parent, and a few tiny bits of randomness thrown in.
Sometimes those random changes make things worse, and if so, then the unfortunate truth is that the child that was born with that problem may not survive into adulthood. This is tragic, but it DOES happen, and when it happens, the harmful mutation is never passed on to anyone else. Neutral ones and positive ones are more likely to be passed on, and so over time those ones actually stick around. That's how we get a slow but steady upwards trend of beneficial mutations. Because the bad ones end up destroying themselves.
That should hopefully help you understand what evolution actually is a little bit better. There's still a lot I haven't talked about, so if you want to know more, I'll be happy to share what I know. I can explain a really good way to tell the difference between common design and common descent, for example. That one might interest you. Let me know.
Intellectual honesty and integrity are the pinnacle of human behavior. You are model. Bless you.
If Gorillaz were gorillas, would that make them Gorilla Gorilla Gorillaz?
Only if Murdoc is renamed to Magilla.
@@NeutralDrow Gorilla Gorilla Magilla Gorillaz? This is madness!
So I thought they were supposed to be weird ape people of some sort but apparently they're human.
So just standard-variety ape people.
This video was my introduction to your channel, and it’s the tops! Instant sub!
Erika, I'm saying this as a joke, but it did happen. One of my co-workers when talking to our supervisor complained she was having trouble staying on top of things. His response was that she should get a taller chair. Now they were working on getting additional staff, so they were not unsympathetic to the situation.
Well done. I love your integrity and your body of work.
Oh no my favorite part of the intro is missing!!!!!
Just in case anyone's wondering whether to re-watch, I reckon Gutsick Gibbon has added enough new commentary to nake it worthwhile. And I certainly gleaned a few facts I missed first time round.
I have a photo of myself at Natural Bridges in Utah, taken by a fellow student while I attended geology field camp in 2005. Basically, it's hundreds of feet (vertical) of sandstone. There are small fossil shell fragments spread throughout, but basically it's all sandstone. This is not something you'll get from a single huge flood. Not really "the mud problem," but it's related.
@@robertlittle7314 it's not something you get from a little river. Sorry dude, you're looking at evidence of the flood
@@cosmictreason2242 on the contrary, it's evidence against a single major flood. Think about it. It's all sandstone, for all practical purposes. Look at the remains after a small flood. You're not going to find sand accumulations covering that kind of surface area, let alone vertical depth. Think about the conditions required to produce *only* sandstone on the scale of Natural Bridges. Big flood, we should find particle sorting of similar scale in adjacent regions, but that is not what we observe
The first time I heard of the "heat problem" was on the "WildwoodClaire" YT channel. Radioactive decay, continental drift, the formation of limestone, the various flood basalts on the planet each of these things alone would melt the surface of the earth several times over, if it happened in the short time period.
