@@bryanjarboe8920 Wasn't the flood for 40 days and 40 nights? Not exactly a short amount of time spent underwater. Edit: I have been corrected (it's longer).
When you have an entity that can do everything, then everything is acceptable. The moment people, even just for the sake of argument, accept the flood, everything goes down the toilet. I myself can imagine lots of plausible reasons that could explain all of these questions, including "god jus did it". There's no point debating these people directly.
sometimes it happens unintentionally. when i was 20, i stayed at a fancy hotel in nashville, and for breakfast, i was handed a kids menu. the girl thought i was 14. when i told her my age, she apologized and made sure i got free breakfast for her mistake.
@@rocketsummer Felt, I’m 22 and literally look 13. When I was 19, I went to a diner with my then-girlfriend, now-fiancée, and her mother and was handed a kid’s menu. I was embarrassed, but it is funny looking back on it lol. A few years later at 21 I was at a restaurant ordering a cocktail, and the poor server was just awkwardly trying to explain to me that it had alcohol in it while I was literally holding my ID out for him to check. It’s funny, but MAN does it get annoying sometimes.
EVERY LIVING SUBSTANCE WILL BE DESTROYED BY YOUR STINKING GOD. But I heard nothing about taking seeds to preserve all plant material. Did Noah also save the LEPROSY VIRUS and all the other INNUMERABLE SOURCES OF DISEASE. THANK YOU GOD FOR POLIO.
I really don’t understand why Ken Ham is a climate change denier. Humans ruining the earth today fits well with the whole “human sin ruined Eden” part.
Ikr it's so easy to just go with science about a decadent excessive society bringing a global flood on itself. Like, our fossil burning and methane releasing is doing that.
because its hard to both believe that god killed almost all of humanity and the world itself for humans being too sinful after telling noah to make an ark, while also believing that humans are currently "sinning" by ruining the earth right now. If human caused climate change is real why would god not be stepping in when in the bible he used to step in constantly during such situations? its easier for him to simply say "well humans must just not be doing that then" than it is for him to give an answer that makes any sense at all. When youre committing a crime (in this case its not actually illegal but purposefully misleading children into becoming science deniers SHOULD be illegal), the smartest thing you can do is "Deny, deny, deny". Whether its denying evidence, accusations, or the whole idea itself. Also, im sure you could probably connect him to being at least partially funded by some oil company as well if you dug deep enough, but thats just me assuming at that point
I went to Mennonite highschool that taught young earth creationism. The proudest moment of my highschool career is the time we went to see Ken Ham speak at Cedarville University and I ended up full-on, mouth-agape, head-back sleeping through the whole presentation.

I feel so, so bad for any child walking through these exhibits. They trust their elders to teach them about the world.... and are fed lies. :/ I remember being in a Roman history museum (I grew up in Germany, dime a dozen in the western, Roman part) and asking my teacher why some exhibits said that they may not be accurate. "If they are not accurate, why are they here?" - "Because this is the best we know right now. In a few years, someone might find something new and they need to change things. That's how natural science works - it keep growing." Thank you, Frau Petrenko.

your depiction of god in the dramatic reading of noah's ark is absolutely incredible, both in the visual art and in the voice. somewhere between somewhat soothing and absolutely terrifying, perfection
Yes! It really was amazing. I wasn't even sure if she animated that, because it looked so artistic and like it was made by a professional. I didn't know she was so multi-talented
I think that, no matter one’s stance on religion or creationism or science, we can all agree on. And honestly, it fits perfectly with how God is portrayed i. The Old Testament. It simultaneously calls to mind Moses hearing God in the burning bush and Elijah hearing the still, small voice.
My dad for years had been talking about taking us. He leads a very faith-based life but he’s also 100% a scientist, doctor, lover of astronomy and physics. He was excited to hear of a theology-based museum with supposed scientific backing. We went and he was so sad when he saw their “facts” when there are a lot of real, irrefutable scientific facts that align with many Christian ideas. When we got to the 30 minute line for the anti-abortion exhibit, he just sadly told us he was sad it wasn’t what he expected and left.
This is legitimately sad because this is exactly the kind of person that I want to be in charge of any religious I iconography in the world. I'm so sorry that your dad was disappointed!

Not the person I expected to see here, but hey, one of my favorite pony theory channels also has issues with these creationist misinformation “museums”. Sweet.
I just associate the place with Jojo and Bloodborne, because that's what my friends and I were discussing on the way there. I kid you not, that was more informative and spiritually fulfilling than anything Mr. Ham presented.
I grew up in the Jehovah's witness cult and was taught the heart literally was responsible for emotions, that the universe was billions of years old, but life was created 35000 years ago. That if we knew how old Adam was when Eve was created then we'd know when Armageddon would come. The Grand canyon was made by Noah's flood. I'm still haunted by the fact that my parents believed that crap and thought it was their duty to teach it to us. They were intelligent, resourceful, moderate people who taught me many great life lessons, so how did they think any of that made any sense?
I was one of those children. :/ The "ministry" made me dread the thought of leaving for fear of eternal damnation. Thankfully I wound up doing just that.
@@XraynPR that's true. In a way maybe I've become guilty of that. I can't think of a single reason why I'd ever believe in any god. Yet I have people telling me I'm foolish for dismissing the idea. Life is strange.

I spent 8 years in the Navy and know a little something about floating around on the water. When I saw the 500ft Ark and was told that only 8 people tended to thousands of animals on it my BS meter went off the charts. If they built this thing to show people how how Noah did it according to the Bible ,it had the opposite effect, It's simply not possible. Given the amount of work that would need to be done it was hysterically absurd to see a display of Noah's family quarters and scenes of them lying around painting pottery(in an Ark being tossed around on the water) And oh BTW, the bulbous bow featured on Ark, wasn't a developed technology until the early 1900's. and would have been pointless on a vessel with no propulsion.
@@highroller-jq3ix And they'd be wrong. They can easily contend lots of things, but every single time when they argue scientific principles, they are wrong.
@@BrianS1981 How do you demonstrate that they're wrong? I didn't suggest scientific principles but rather the concept of miraculous, divine intervention. Nor are creationists always wrong when they invoke scientific principles. As long as scientists and other scholars with actual credentials accept the possibility of god magic, there will be an unholy alliance between science and woo.
And the bulbous bow only developed because warships were at that stage beginning to go fast enough that the bow wave created by their passage through water became big enough to impede speed or in rough seas even cause capsizing.
22:58 kind of makes me have chills in an unsettling way. How clean and professional it looks, it's easy to be mislead by something that looks so 'scientific' if you're not educated on the subject. Those poor kids are just there having a good time and have no idea they're being lied to.
Holy shit. If you pivoted to exclusively making videos that animate Bible stories in that same style, I would absolutely be here for it, forever. That Noah animation fucking slaps.
I am impressed. But also, the way Yahweh is portrayed in the King James Book of Genesis, along with your processed voice for him, makes him out to be a Homicidal Monster. Please, prove me wrong.
When their own website unironically brags about their ark being a "miracle of modern engineering" and that wood was sourced from several continents, none of this surprises me.
“The creation museum is nothing but a sermon masquerading as science. It is a pill that only those who already have a prescription could possibly swallow.” Excellent writing there, Gutsick Gibbon.

I have a super christain family and just recently while visiting kentucky we went to the ark encounter and the size of the build was impressive. my dad knew that im not really a beleiver of the relegion told me to be sentitive and not get all annoying atheist. but while walking through it I was seeing them push the idea of dinosaurs with humans. earth being only 6000 years old, and it was kinda disturbing how they depicted people not part of the relegion being idiots who loved voilence and doing bad things and themselves to be these pure nice people just trying to spread the truth. I try not to be an annoying atheist who just shows up and screams my opinion but the entire time I was walking through I would see these blatant lies and how there telling this to kids. entire sections of the place trying to prove that carbon dating isnt real or there was only one ice age. it was kinda culty.
They 100% must know that they are lying , I don't understand isn't this a horrible sin to specially lie to children. And dumb parents who have no business home schooling teach this to their kids as facts.
My dad tells me to “shut up” all the time. I proceed to yell louder when he says that. People don’t get to tell you to “shut up.” It is your 1st amendment right to say what you want to. He wants to spread lies, then I will fire back harder. If my dad wants to be a tittie-baby about it and be butt hurt that’s on him.
I remember I went to a planetarium on a field trip when I was 8. I remember feeling really astonished and wowed because I just learned so much about the world, and the stars, the solar system, all that stuff. Then when I got home and started telling my parents about it, they shut me up. They yelled at me that the world isn't billions of years old, etc. Kinda killed my young dreams of being any type of scientist.

It’s really funny that they include „Polygamy“ in the humans-did-this-section, since I’m pretty sure that some of Gods favorite post-flood chads had multiple wives too…
@@austinapologetics2023 Polygamy was encouraged and written into the guidelines in the old testament, it was even part of how to treat one's slaves. Kind of similar to how it was stressed that it was important not to honour any of the other gods. That christianity blatantly isn't monothiestic is another fact that these kind of theists like to gloss over.
@@nickryan3417 of course Christianity is monotheistic. Do you know what the Hebrew word for God "Elohim" means? Also I have to say your interpretation of the Old Testament is very interesting. Many scholars would argue that the opening chapters of Genesis contains polemics against polygamy, such as Adam and Eve being one man and one woman, the sins of man prior to the flood, and the tower of Babel.
@@austinapologetics2023 Monotheistic? Hahahaha. Let's start with the current religious rituals around begging for blessings from "the father, son and the holy spirit". Well, that's three for starters. Oh, so "the son" isn't really a god, so more of a demi-god then? That's still a pantheon of three. Add to this the borged saints that were stolen from pretty much every culture that christianity sublimated that previously were local gods, spirits or deities that somehow, very conveniently, changed into something christian rather than their previous meaning. The books of the old testament clearly mention the other gods. Polgamy was very much not consistently frowned upon and the passages about the social responsibilities of a man, with a wife, who gets one of his slaves pregnant having to marry and look after the slave as well? Well, that's polygamy isn't it? Or is your interpretation that because they were slaves they didn't matter. The passages on how to treat slaves very much did not condemn the taking, owning and use of slaves. The Hebrew word "elohim" is considered to be both plural and singular and the context of its use dictates how it should be interpreted in every instance. Languages can be quite flexible like that and the people of Israel were very definitely neither caucasian nor North American. What point were you trying to make about the name? Other etymologies of the names used for the main abrahmic god related to this god being the god of war, and above all other gods. That doesn't really relate to monotheism either does it? What happened to these other gods? Well, rather conveniently they were either renamed "saints" or they were absorbed into one of the others. Renaming local temples or churches is hard to do, much easier just to corrupt the meaning and to keep the name.

@@TrentsPolitical You might want to use "she'll" (contraction for "she will") rather than "shell" (hard outer covering). Also, consider "wrongdoings," rather than "wrong doings." Since it's a proper name, "christ" should be capitalized. "Gods" is the plural form of "God." The possessive form would be "God's."
People been adding to the bible since the start. It's 100% all made up and crumbles under scrutiny. The ark now looks absurd. Because its plain to see its unworkable as per the story.
I was raised in a similar environment (minus the Christian schooling) and I recall once when I was little I was sitting on the floor looking at my hands and feet and I ask my creationist father "Don't our feet kinda look like mutated hands?" and his response is literally just "No." XD
I really appreciate how compassionate this video is and how you place the blame not with individuals who are fooled by inaccurate information from so-called experts, but with the leaders of this movement who know better. I was homeschooled and taught young earth creationism, and while I no longer believe in that world model I have found it difficult to reeducate myself due to the scornful and abrasive nature of most content debunking it. It was truly a gift to be able to learn about this topic from someone who wasn't going out of their way to make me feel like an idiot, so thank you.
There is plenty of straightforward talk about this subject which is not presented with rhetorical hand grenades. You can easily avoid 'abrasive' and 'scornful' if you want to. I drifted from my childhood's very weak participation BY MYSELF, merely reading "Just the facts, sir/ma'am" science books which said "Here's the Science, choose what you want."; NO reference to the Bible or it being wrong. I was not an O'Hare disciple or any other anti-religion True Unbeliever.f Those books and magazines HAD to be 'non-abrasive' and 'non-scornful' because of the cultural and religious attitudes at that time in most of the US. The Truth is, it was the Fundagelical Christians I grew up around (grandparents, etc.) who were the 'abrasive' and 'scornful' people, adding in 'intimidating' and 'emotionally blackmailing'. One side of the family came from a 'citified' Protestant church, and it was those EDUCATED people who gave me the room to question and investigate, not the Proto-YEC, country folk relations ... the country folk were also the ones who despised "Schwartzers" and "Chews", too, but not the city folk.
I would also recommend the UA-cam channel Forrest Valkai if you want to "undue the creationist nonsense" and learn real science. He explains everything well for beginners.

@@nebulan You should read some conservative Old Testament scholarship like Kenneth Kitchens, John Walton, Michael Heiser, Ben Stanhope etc. There are parts that are not primarily focused with history, one example being Genesis 1-1, which is highly polemical, but that isn't the case universally.

I always love it when somebody is able to remove the Bible from its use as a cute Sunday school storybook or *shudder* a science textbook and treat it as what it is. The folklore and mythology of an ancient civilization.
@@WildCard-ze3tm, well said. It seems very hard for YECcies to grasp the fact that the text in any bible is the product of many authors over many hundreds of years and is meant, I would like to think, to be a tool to help people be better people to others, better shepherds..... better than our primal instincts favor. As an aside, I found poignant the first art panel (01:09:15), the one where the Ark is underway, bearing down on a poor sinner clinging to a tree. That poor soul may have been one of the contractors, having recently put the final touches on the Ark. What do you think he was thinking at that moment ("Helluva severance package!!") More importantly, how many YECcies would fail to see that man clinging to a tree or, if so, fail to think of him as their neighbor?

Oh my god, bro, I've been looking everywhere for any footage of the homophobic video game, but I literally couldn't find it anywhere. I can finally show people that I was not making that up. Thank you so much for including that. Also the books in their gift shop (creation museum) are genuinely so funny to see. My personal favorites were "The gender and marriage war" with a burning wedding cake, and "Homosexual war" with very menacing text. It's so ridiculous I just find it funny
The "gender and marriage" thing reminds me, I've never seen Answers in Genesis talk about transgenderism, but I can totally picture a plaque at the creation museum like: NATURALISTIC EVOLUTIONARY WORLDVIEW: Humans can change their gender whenever they feel like it. BIBLICAL CREATIONIST WORLDVIEW: God created all the kinds as male and female, including humans. Which one matches what we see in reality?
this is so funny for me personally because when i was like 12 my super hardcore christian grandmother took me and my little brother to the ark because i was super into my edgy atheist phase and she wasn’t about to let that slide. she kept up a strong front until the dinosaur kennels, and after that exhibit she had to admit that she maybe wasn’t ‘that kind of christian.’ small victories i guess. we also rode a camel i don’t know what that had to do with anything but it was fun.
I dont get why they have such a hardline view on them living together. You could just as easily had them be like sailor tales where people told campfire stories inpsired by the ancient bones of the dinosaurs
@@ethanstyant9704 The issue for inerrantists is the Bible text itself. It states unambiguously that all kinds of animals were saved in the ark, no exceptions. If the Bible says so, they have to come up with an explanation for this, and that was their solution in this case.

Blessed indeed. Unfortunately you can be safely and securely indoctrinated through a specific lens of a homeschool ‘education’, even more so without proper teaching of critical thinking skills and something called the scientific method to guide my thinking and actually reasoning with my ideology. And yeah, I didn’t have access to proper science textbooks and education until middle school. I’m glad I quickly became much more secular as soon as I reached the age of developing reasoning abilities, despite many others not having that chance because of plenty of factors uncontrollable.
That was seriously killer, and it's definitely the kind of book that her monkey persona would carry around. I'm actually quite curious to see what specific genus of hominid it is.
And it would also be kind of interesting for it to be a homited because it would be a real unique "fursona" as you call it. The only way that a mascot for a creator could be considered furry relatives if they themselves are part of the fandom even if it's just by name only. The Jewish man who I forgot his name from the game grumps is more of a furry than this person, he literally has the head! But in any case I definitely believe it's some sort of hominin with a lovely blue raspberry color theme. I'm also kind of disappointed that they don't have that intro for every other one of their videos and their animated little friend doesn't come out to help explain, this is literally the only one I've seen.

I laugh when I consider how the super speedy male/female Sloth kind crawled off the Ark and immediately started making their way to Central America (where coincidentally their ancestors are buried) through flood destroyed barren lands and once there they immediately started to evolve into a entirely different tree dwelling species. Another thing....all trees/shrubs/grasses were destroyed...what did all these animals eat when they left the ark.
The answer to any question could and probably always will be that God just "miracled" it to work? How did koalas get back to eucalyptus trees in australia? God had some angels carry them there obviously. How were there still Eucalyptus trees on Australia? Because god told them to be. And the eucalyptus trees were like, "Yes sir!" and spontaneously appeared fully grown. Whatever nonsense you want to imagine, that's how it works! The entire continent of Australia was right next to were the ark landed and after all the Australia specific animals climbed on board god picked the entire continent up and carried it to the southern hemisphere. But then the unicorns made fun of him for skipping leg day so he picked up all the unicorns and hurled them into the sun for mocking him. And he told Noah to leave that part out. And Noah was like, "Ok. But can we talk about how all my grandkids are supposed to bang to repopulate the earth?" And God was like, "No, we are never going to address it."
When you consider the sheer number of species on the earth & the impossibility of gathering two of every type, you realize the flood story is just that: a story.

This hits so close to home for me. I was in private christian school my whole school life and we were taught the world was only about 5-6k years old and dinosaurs died out after getting off the ark and there wasn't enough food for the plant eaters. Soon after the meat eaters died out. This was taught as SCIENCE. It wasn't until late high school I saw the Cosmos series and my eyes were open to all the lies I was taught lol. I'm not against religion but I feel like it shouldn't be mixed with science and called truth.
First of all. The part about the dinosaurs were stupid they never existed in the first place so how could they be on the arc. But if cosmos made you an atheist you must be 14
@@quattrobajeena135 I never said Cosmos made me an atheist. It was a bunch of smaller things that just kinda added up over the years.

Ikr? Only time I'm interested in bible stuff is when it's presented as a cutscene in an indie horror game. It fits so well, I want to see more of this haunting deity and the horrors he has done to the world he created.
Just to compare how overpriced it is: You could visit the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum and Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam and still have money to spare and learn more truthful things. Or for about half the money visit a fairy tale theme park and have more fun ;) And you'd think that even for one year, 9 km of extra water pressuring on the ground would leave geological marks everywhere on this planet... and we do not seem to find those... Lastly consider that it rained for 40 days and 40 nights and in that time, about 9000 metres of water must have fallen... forget heating the earth... that would have been too violent for any floating vessel.
I read that someone calculated how hard it would have had to rain to flood the earth with water deep enough to cover Everest, in only 40 days and night. Essentially, it would have been exposing every square inch to the equivalent of industrial pressure washer. INCLUDING THE PROVERBIAL ARK. So, not only would a ship the size of the Ark, made of WOOD, have the structual integrity of Kleenex, the wood it was made of would have been eroded to the point of complete destruction in short order by the sheer intensity of the incredibly strong rainfall. Then there are all the other problems with the Ark story.... like how did animals separated from the embarkation point by OCEANS get aboard, how could the ship have possibly been provisioned, what did the animals and Noah's family eat after disembarking, how could a ruined ecology restore itself before everyone starved, etc. There are always lame excuses, though. Whatifisms and couldabeens and mightvehappeneds galore, and none of it even supported isn their book of fairy tales. They're LITERALLY making it up as they go. And now the 'Creation (exhibit... not a museum!)" doubled down by building a companion attraction - the Ark Encounter. Good grief. And gullible marks line up to hand over their hard-earned money to these charlatans.
@@xaenon Ah, there you are with your "science". The bible does not mention Everest therefore it does not exist. As a result the water level does not need to be as high... Probably doesn't mention any other really high peaks either therefore this will reduce the required deluge level to... ooh, roughly 5,600 metres. That's getting on for half the 9km required previously and therefore much more likely to be entirely real. Now, where are my dried frog pills?
The wooden Ark was too long to stay afloat on the stormy seas without electric bilge pumps. The methane gas from the tons of animal waste was toxic and combustible.
The idea that there are people out there who have nostalgic memories of the Creation Museum tells me two things: 1. I'm old 2. I've gotten used to how shitty the world is
47:15 "How'd you like to work for 50 years and then die? You can't even spend the money." Comrade Todd is spittin' some truth at the Creationist museum.
The absolute self own of the Ark Encounter they did by showing how the Ark could be built, by hiring a boatload of construction workers and then having them use modern tech.
The true insanity of YEC is that the ENTIRE charade essentially boils down to "OK, I can read basic science paper summaries, and it's essentially impossible to deny all this evidence, but like, abiogenesis is scary and weird and I like god so I'm going to devote my ENTIRE LIFE to mental gymnastics to make YEC work."
I love the idea of the heat problem. It's something I never thought about before and pretty much puts the hammer down on the ark story and makes all the other work on refuting this myth moot. Remember, when someone brings up the ark, present the heat problem and shut them down. It will then all come down to "God handled it with a miracle". At that point, ask why, if a miracle was required for this, didn't God just use a miracle to clear away His "mistake" and avoid the suffering of innocents. You won't win the argument but you'll leave them with something to think about later.
The "miracle" being that Creationists actually still thought "the world" was _the whole planet_ even after the New World and the Round Earth were discovered, instead of the same obvious political sense of "the world" used in the expressions "Old World", "New World", and "Third World" that is the form of use seen throughout the Bible (round Earth = you won't see everything on the planet from a high mountain like when Satan showed Yeshua "the kingdoms of the world"); it's "the world" not in the sense of a planet but in the sense of a geographical region or the dominant empire or culture; Mesopotamia, a _known flood plain,_ in Noah/King Ziusudra's day, the Roman Empire in Yeshua's day as "Satan" at that point was Zeus/Jupiter, chief Pagan god of the Hellenic Greco-Roman "world" according to the rest of the New Testament, hence making him "the god of that world" who could give "all its kingdoms" (anyone who worshipped the Greco-Roman gods led by Zeus/Jupiter) to Yeshua if He would defect from His Father in Heaven, and submit to and worship Zeus/Jupiter, which sounds an awful lot like the religious syncretization that happened when Christianity became the religion of Rome and conquered the world.
An even better suggestion is to ask them why god created lucifer (satan) if he knew that satan would be the cause of billions of people being damned to hell.
It starting to rain as you approached the Ark Encounter isn't an "irony of ironies", it's just thematically appropriate. The irony of ironies would be if the Ark Encounter were closed due to flooding.
Or that time when the ark was damaged by heavy rain and Ken's insurance wouldn't cover it. "Act of God" has never been such an appropriate term of art.
Unsurprisingly, The Ark Encounter has been closed due to flooding multiple times since it first opened. Also unsurprisingly, The Ark Encounter would’ve float even if it weren’t anchored to the ground, because the reinforced concrete and structural steel used in its construction weigh much more than the water it would displace even fully submerged.

One astronomical fact. Most stars that we can see with the naked eye, or with a small telescope aren’t billions of light years in distance. Those stars lie within our own Milky Way Galaxy, and are hundreds to thousands of light years away. Ironically, because we are inside of the Milky Way, many huge parts of it are not visible to us, especially in the visible light part of the EM spectrum. And the Milky Way has a diameter of about 100,000 light years. The most distant object we can see with the naked eye, under sufficiently dark skies, is the Andromeda Galaxy, about 2 or 2.5 million light years away. We don’t use parallax to measure the difference, but other “standard candles” such as Cepheid variable stars. With a decent telescope we can see more distant galaxies, tens and millions of light years away. To see really distant galaxies, one’s that are billions of light years in distance, we need pretty powerful telescopes. But we can observe them, and to measure their distance, we use observations of a certain type of supernova to calculate their distance.
Parallax is still used for measuring distance within about 100 parsecs. Without it, the astronomical distance ladder would be incomplete. For very far objects, their distance is calculated by assuming their velocities (and therefore redshift) are dominated by cosmological expansion according to Hubble's law.
@@1358Paco That’s correct. One other way to measure distant galaxies is by observing Type Ia supernovae, which have an absolute magnitude (inherent brightness), and then comparing that with the apparent (measured) magnitude, and thus arriving at a highly accurate distance. This was how two independent teams (about 20 years ago now) somewhat accidentally discovered the fact that the expansion of the universe is actually accelerating. As yet, we still don’t know why this is happening, and it is attributed to “dark energy”, a name chosen because we just don’t understand it as yet. It also gave us a more precise date of the universe, about 13.8 billion years. Hopefully, the James Webb Space Telescope will allow us to learn more about the early universe, and these topics.
Muses are non biblical, so a place celebrating their inspirational role for culture AND science obviously is anathema to the sort of culture that would love nothing more than to build temples from the skulls and on the corpses of their perceived enemies. Including those promoting culture and science like a real museum would do.
I think you could really have an impact on changing some people's minds in this non-debate. You are non-combative, very likable, fun to listen to and funny, and most of all, your content is chocked full of facts and details that cannot just be brushed away with some silly retort like "dogs produce dogs". I just want to encourage you to keep making content like this. The more the better. I think the way you approach this topic might at least cause some people to consider the possibility that it is ok to believe and accept reality.
Absolutely. I'm considering showing this video to some of my Creationist friends. As an ex-YEC, I've experienced first-hand how absolutely insane the consequences of that """worldview""" can be, and so it's hard for me to see people I care about still believe in it. But it's also really difficult to get out of that mindset (it's basically a cult mindset), because being presented with facts for evolution feels like an attack. her good-natured humour could do a lot to make people feel less emotionally fragile in the presence of facts for evolution. (Also, since some YECs out there don't like AiG, interestingly enough, exposing AiG as fraudsters might actually be a pretty sound first step.)
She's fighting the wrong fight. Creationism vs. Darwinism is so 1990s. This is 2021. The fight today is over leftists pushing Kumbaya crap Out of Africa theory vs. Multiregional origins. Erika and her clan are losing the Out of Africa battle, so they naturally lash out at an easy target like Christians, Young Earth folks.
It woud make no difference. These people have decided that what they belive is right and no matter what you say or evidence you give it wil not change their minds. They have to come to it themselves.
There's literally civilizations that where around during when this flood supposedly happened, and thousands of years before leading up to and after it happened, and they were just fine. To beleive this actually happened and is true is ignorance beyond understanding. It's also a story, like the Moses story that was taken from an older account from another culture. I am continually shocked that people are truly this ignorant.
The "non-believer visits the Ark Encounter" video is like a rite of passage at this point. But I've never seen one that's such a head on, detailed takedown while also giving a nod to the artistry and experience. I've seen maybe 4 or 5 of these at this point. No offense to some of my favorite Atheist creators, but this one sets a high bar on all fronts.
Atheist creators???? Now there is a contradiction in terms if ever there was one. Still just a reflection of the intelligence level of those who believe we came from a rock!!!
Or that women were made from the rib of a man? And that, because ONE woman disobeyed God that ONE TIME, all women have to suffer and often die in childbirth for a millenia? Dosen't sound very smart and logical to me.
After release from the Ark, it was extremely self-sacrificing of the carnivores to go hungry and desist from feeding on live herbivores and each other, in order that all species would have plenty of time to breed and regain their numbers That's what I call taking one for the team.

Last summer, I visited these two “museums” as part of a long road trip. I cannot recommend going there enough. I have been to over 30 countries and have lived in three. In all my travels, I’ve never seen anything as strange and surreal. It was fascinating to observe the people there. As far as what these two places were trying to convince visitors of (most of whom were already convinced) and the “science” that they created out of whole cloth, at first I found it hilarious, then troubling, then enraging, then exhausting, then numbing, hilarious again. In all the countries I’ve visited, have never felt like I’ve done such a deep dive into a totally different culture. I felt like a foreigner there, even though I am an American. The only thing that will make me forget that experience is amnesia, or Alzheimer’s, or dementia, or death.
1:14:12 I hadn’t heard the flood myth in a while, but it’s a great reminder how unabashedly evil God really is. According to your book, you committed the greatest genocide the world ever knew and yet still claim to be all-benevolent.
As someone who’s lived all their life in a heavily Calvinist Christian area, I actually didn’t know that young-earth creationism is on its way out. I assumed the majority of Christians believed it. It’s nice to know that’s not the case.
Not only that, it´s a phenomenom almost unique to the United States. I´m a peruvian catholic, and has lived most of my life in Venezuela. I actually did my high school in a medium town in Venezuela´s agricultural region and NEVER met a creationist. When I started hearing about them I could hardly believe it, I thought it was some kind of silly joke. Same thing with flat earthers...
I used to be both a Calvinist and Young-earth Creationist. I've gotten out of both ideological mind-traps. One of the keys in these ideologies is convincing the "faithful" that they, and only they, have the "true understanding," and "if only all Christians could be so enlightened."
A while back, Ham had to fight his insurance company because of "flood damage" to his ark from a huge rain storm. I find that hilariously ironic.

Ikr it's so easy to just go with science about a decadent excessive society bringing a global flood on itself. Like, our fossil burning and methane releasing is doing that.
because its hard to both believe that god killed almost all of humanity and the world itself for humans being too sinful after telling noah to make an ark, while also believing that humans are currently "sinning" by ruining the earth right now. If human caused climate change is real why would god not be stepping in when in the bible he used to step in constantly during such situations? its easier for him to simply say "well humans must just not be doing that then" than it is for him to give an answer that makes any sense at all. When youre committing a crime (in this case its not actually illegal but purposefully misleading children into becoming science deniers SHOULD be illegal), the smartest thing you can do is "Deny, deny, deny".

She definitely nailed it, but since you didn't capitalize "god" and "noah," you're probably circling the drain to Hell.
I think that, no matter one’s stance on religion or creationism or science, we can all agree on. And honestly, it fits perfectly with how God is portrayed i. The Old Testament. It simultaneously calls to mind Moses hearing God in the burning bush and Elijah hearing the still, small voice.
My dad for years had been talking about taking us. He leads a very faith-based life but he’s also 100% a scientist, doctor, lover of astronomy and physics. He was excited to hear of a theology-based museum with supposed scientific backing. We went and he was so sad when he saw their “facts” when there are a lot of real, irrefutable scientific facts that align with many Christian ideas. When we got to the 30 minute line for the anti-abortion exhibit, he just sadly told us he was sad it wasn’t what he expected and left.
This is legitimately sad because this is exactly the kind of person that I want to be in charge of any religious I iconography in the world.

That if we knew how old Adam was when Eve was created then we'd know when Armageddon would come. The Grand canyon was made by Noah's flood. I'm still haunted by the fact that my parents believed that crap and thought it was their duty to teach it to us. They were intelligent, resourceful, moderate people who taught me many great life lessons, so how did they think any of that made any sense?

I spent 8 years in the Navy and know a little something about floating around on the water. When I saw the 500ft Ark and was told that only 8 people tended to thousands of animals on it my BS meter went off the charts. If they built this thing to show people how how Noah did it according to the Bible ,it had the opposite effect, It's simply not possible. Given the amount of work that would need to be done it was hysterically absurd to see a display of Noah's family quarters and scenes of them lying around painting pottery(in an Ark being tossed around on the water)
And oh BTW, the bulbous bow featured on Ark, wasn't a developed technology until the early 1900's. and would have been pointless on a vessel with no propulsion.
Well, creationists can easily contend that the bulbous bow was developed and then forgotten and that god currents provided propulsion.
@@highroller-jq3ix And they'd be wrong. They can easily contend lots of things, but every single time when they argue scientific principles, they are wrong.
@@BrianS1981 How do you demonstrate that they're wrong? I didn't suggest scientific principles but rather the concept of miraculous, divine intervention. Nor are creationists always wrong when they invoke scientific principles. As long as scientists and other scholars with actual credentials accept the possibility of god magic, there will be an unholy alliance between science and woo.
And the bulbous bow only developed because warships were at that stage beginning to go fast enough that the bow wave created by their passage through water became big enough to impede speed or in rough seas even cause capsizing.
To be fair, you don’t really need propulsion when you’re just floating until the flood ends. They weren’t really sailing anywhere.

Weren't they condemned for polygamy, like Solomon, Gideon, David etc.
@@austinapologetics2023 Polygamy was encouraged and written into the guidelines in the old testament, it was even part of how to treat one's slaves. Kind of similar to how it was stressed that it was important not to honour any of the other gods. That christianity blatantly isn't monothiestic is another fact that these kind of theists like to gloss over.
@@nickryan3417 of course Christianity is monotheistic. Do you know what the Hebrew word for God "Elohim" means?
Also I have to say your interpretation of the Old Testament is very interesting. Many scholars would argue that the opening chapters of Genesis contains polemics against polygamy, such as Adam and Eve being one man and one woman, the sins of man prior to the flood, and the tower of Babel.
@@austinapologetics2023 Monotheistic? Hahahaha. Let's start with the current religious rituals around begging for blessings from "the father, son and the holy spirit". Well, that's three for starters. Oh, so "the son" isn't really a god, so more of a demi-god then? That's still a pantheon of three. Add to this the borged saints that were stolen from pretty much every culture that christianity sublimated that previously were local gods, spirits or deities that somehow, very conveniently, changed into something christian rather than their previous meaning.
The books of the old testament clearly mention the other gods. Polgamy was very much not consistently frowned upon and the passages about the social responsibilities of a man, with a wife, who gets one of his slaves pregnant having to marry and look after the slave as well? Well, that's polygamy isn't it? Or is your interpretation that because they were slaves they didn't matter. The passages on how to treat slaves very much did not condemn the taking, owning and use of slaves.
The Hebrew word "elohim" is considered to be both plural and singular and the context of its use dictates how it should be interpreted in every instance. Languages can be quite flexible like that and the people of Israel were very definitely neither caucasian nor North American. What point were you trying to make about the name? Other etymologies of the names used for the main abrahmic god related to this god being the god of war, and above all other gods. That doesn't really relate to monotheism either does it? What happened to these other gods? Well, rather conveniently they were either renamed "saints" or they were absorbed into one of the others. Renaming local temples or churches is hard to do, much easier just to corrupt the meaning and to keep the name.

There is plenty of straightforward talk about this subject which is not presented with rhetorical hand grenades.
You can easily avoid 'abrasive' and 'scornful' if you want to.
I drifted from my childhood's very weak participation BY MYSELF, merely reading "Just the facts, sir/ma'am" science books which said "Here's the Science, choose what you want."; NO reference to the Bible or it being wrong. I was not an O'Hare disciple or any other anti-religion True Unbeliever.f
Those books and magazines HAD to be 'non-abrasive' and 'non-scornful' because of the cultural and religious attitudes at that time in most of the US.
The Truth is, it was the Fundagelical Christians I grew up around (grandparents, etc.) who were the 'abrasive' and 'scornful' people, adding in 'intimidating' and 'emotionally blackmailing'. One side of the family came from a 'citified' Protestant church, and it was those EDUCATED people who gave me the room to question and investigate, not the Proto-YEC, country folk relations ... the country folk were also the ones who despised "Schwartzers" and "Chews", too, but not the city folk.

Oh my god, bro, I've been looking everywhere for any footage of the homophobic video game, but I literally couldn't find it anywhere. I can finally show people that I was not making that up.

My personal favorites were "The gender and marriage war" with a burning wedding cake, and "Homosexual war" with very menacing text. It's so ridiculous I just find it funny
The "gender and marriage" thing reminds me, I've never seen Answers in Genesis talk about transgenderism, but I can totally picture a plaque at the creation museum like:
NATURALISTIC EVOLUTIONARY WORLDVIEW: Humans can change their gender whenever they feel like it.
BIBLICAL CREATIONIST WORLDVIEW: God created all the kinds as male and female, including humans.
Which one matches what we see in reality?
this is so funny for me personally because when i was like 12 my super hardcore christian grandmother took me and my little brother to the ark because i was super into my edgy atheist phase and she wasn’t about to let that slide. she kept up a strong front until the dinosaur kennels, and after that exhibit she had to admit that she maybe wasn’t ‘that kind of christian.’ small victories i guess. we also rode a camel i don’t know what that had to do with anything but it was fun.

@@ethanstyant9704 The issue for inerrantists is the Bible text itself. It states unambiguously that all kinds of animals were saved in the ark, no exceptions. If the Bible says so, they have to come up with an explanation for this, and that was their solution in this case.

I laugh when I consider how the super speedy male/female Sloth kind crawled off the Ark and immediately started making their way to Central America (where coincidentally their ancestors are buried) through flood destroyed barren lands and once there they immediately started to evolve into a entirely different tree dwelling species. Another thing....all trees/shrubs/grasses were destroyed...what did all these animals eat when they left the ark.
@SeaPin that’s good. The sloths and koalas wouldn’t have made it a mile from the big wooden ark. Ha ha!!!!
The answer to any question could and probably always will be that God just "miracled" it to work? How did koalas get back to eucalyptus trees in australia? God had some angels carry them there obviously. How were there still Eucalyptus trees on Australia? Because god told them to be. And the eucalyptus trees were like, "Yes sir!" and spontaneously appeared fully grown. Whatever nonsense you want to imagine, that's how it works! The entire continent of Australia was right next to were the ark landed and after all the Australia specific animals climbed on board god picked the entire continent up and carried it to the southern hemisphere. But then the unicorns made fun of him for skipping leg day so he picked up all the unicorns and hurled them into the sun for mocking him. And he told Noah to leave that part out. And Noah was like, "Ok. But can we talk about how all my grandkids are supposed to bang to repopulate the earth?" And God was like, "No, we are never going to address it."
Yes. It’s laughable
When you consider the sheer number of species on the earth & the impossibility of gathering two of every type, you realize the flood story is just that: a story.
Maybe noah delivered them all back to their homes like santa?

Just to compare how overpriced it is: You could visit the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum and Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam and still have money to spare and learn more truthful things. Or for about half the money visit a fairy tale theme park and have more fun ;)
And you'd think that even for one year, 9 km of extra water pressuring on the ground would leave geological marks everywhere on this planet... and we do not seem to find those...
Lastly consider that it rained for 40 days and 40 nights and in that time, about 9000 metres of water must have fallen... forget heating the earth... that would have been too violent for any floating vessel.
Maybe Noah invented scuppers.......lol
I read that someone calculated how hard it would have had to rain to flood the earth with water deep enough to cover Everest, in only 40 days and night. Essentially, it would have been exposing every square inch to the equivalent of industrial pressure washer. INCLUDING THE PROVERBIAL ARK.
So, not only would a ship the size of the Ark, made of WOOD, have the structual integrity of Kleenex, the wood it was made of would have been eroded to the point of complete destruction in short order by the sheer intensity of the incredibly strong rainfall.
Then there are all the other problems with the Ark story.... like how did animals separated from the embarkation point by OCEANS get aboard, how could the ship have possibly been provisioned, what did the animals and Noah's family eat after disembarking, how could a ruined ecology restore itself before everyone starved, etc.
There are always lame excuses, though. Whatifisms and couldabeens and mightvehappeneds galore, and none of it even supported isn their book of fairy tales. They're LITERALLY making it up as they go.
And now the 'Creation (exhibit... not a museum!)" doubled down by building a companion attraction - the Ark Encounter. Good grief.
And gullible marks line up to hand over their hard-earned money to these charlatans.
@@xaenon Ah, there you are with your "science". The bible does not mention Everest therefore it does not exist. As a result the water level does not need to be as high... Probably doesn't mention any other really high peaks either therefore this will reduce the required deluge level to... ooh, roughly 5,600 metres. That's getting on for half the 9km required previously and therefore much more likely to be entirely real.
Now, where are my dried frog pills?
The wooden Ark was too long to stay afloat on the stormy seas without electric bilge pumps.
The methane gas from the tons of animal waste was toxic and combustible.
I think it's telling that it costs DOUBLE from Disney.
The idea that there are people out there who have nostalgic memories of the Creation Museum tells me two things:
1. I'm old
2. I've gotten used to how shitty the world is
47:15 "How'd you like to work for 50 years and then die? You can't even spend the money."
Comrade Todd is spittin' some truth at the Creationist museum.
The absolute self own of the Ark Encounter they did by showing how the Ark could be built, by hiring a boatload of construction workers and then having them use modern tech.
The true insanity of YEC is that the ENTIRE charade essentially boils down to "OK, I can read basic science paper summaries, and it's essentially impossible to deny all this evidence, but like, abiogenesis is scary and weird and I like god so I'm going to devote my ENTIRE LIFE to mental gymnastics to make YEC work."
I love the idea of the heat problem. It's something I never thought about before and pretty much puts the hammer down on the ark story and makes all the other work on refuting this myth moot.
Remember, when someone brings up the ark, present the heat problem and shut them down. It will then all come down to "God handled it with a miracle". At that point, ask why, if a miracle was required for this, didn't God just use a miracle to clear away His "mistake" and avoid the suffering of innocents.
You won't win the argument but you'll leave them with something to think about later.
The "miracle" being that Creationists actually still thought "the world" was _the whole planet_ even after the New World and the Round Earth were discovered, instead of the same obvious political sense of "the world" used in the expressions "Old World", "New World", and "Third World" that is the form of use seen throughout the Bible (round Earth = you won't see everything on the planet from a high mountain like when Satan showed Yeshua "the kingdoms of the world"); it's "the world" not in the sense of a planet but in the sense of a geographical region or the dominant empire or culture; Mesopotamia, a _known flood plain,_ in Noah/King Ziusudra's day, the Roman Empire in Yeshua's day as "Satan" at that point was Zeus/Jupiter, chief Pagan god of the Hellenic Greco-Roman "world" according to the rest of the New Testament, hence making him "the god of that world" who could give "all its kingdoms" (anyone who worshipped the Greco-Roman gods led by Zeus/Jupiter) to Yeshua if He would defect from His Father in Heaven, and submit to and worship Zeus/Jupiter, which sounds an awful lot like the religious syncretization that happened when Christianity became the religion of Rome and conquered the world.
An even better suggestion is to ask them why god created lucifer (satan) if he knew that satan would be the cause of billions of people being damned to hell.
It starting to rain as you approached the Ark Encounter isn't an "irony of ironies", it's just thematically appropriate. The irony of ironies would be if the Ark Encounter were closed due to flooding.
Or that time when the ark was damaged by heavy rain and Ken's insurance wouldn't cover it.
"Act of God" has never been such an appropriate term of art.
Or the grumpy old man in the sky blasting it out of existence cos he was having a bad day
Unsurprisingly, The Ark Encounter has been closed due to flooding multiple times since it first opened.
Also unsurprisingly, The Ark Encounter would’ve float even if it weren’t anchored to the ground, because the reinforced concrete and structural steel used in its construction weigh much more than the water it would displace even fully submerged.
I'm coming back about a year and a half after my first viewing of this video.

One astronomical fact. Most stars that we can see with the naked eye, or with a small telescope aren’t billions of light years in distance. Those stars lie within our own Milky Way Galaxy, and are hundreds to thousands of light years away. Ironically, because we are inside of the Milky Way, many huge parts of it are not visible to us, especially in the visible light part of the EM spectrum. And the Milky Way has a diameter of about 100,000 light years.
The most distant object we can see with the naked eye, under sufficiently dark skies, is the Andromeda Galaxy, about 2 or 2.5 million light years away. We don’t use parallax to measure the difference, but other “standard candles” such as Cepheid variable stars. With a decent telescope we can see more distant galaxies, tens and millions of light years away.
To see really distant galaxies, one’s that are billions of light years in distance, we need pretty powerful telescopes. But we can observe them, and to measure their distance, we use observations of a certain type of supernova to calculate their distance.
Parallax is still used for measuring distance within about 100 parsecs. Without it, the astronomical distance ladder would be incomplete. For very far objects, their distance is calculated by assuming their velocities (and therefore redshift) are dominated by cosmological expansion according to Hubble's law.
@@1358Paco That’s correct. One other way to measure distant galaxies is by observing Type Ia supernovae, which have an absolute magnitude (inherent brightness), and then comparing that with the apparent (measured) magnitude, and thus arriving at a highly accurate distance.
This was how two independent teams (about 20 years ago now) somewhat accidentally discovered the fact that the expansion of the universe is actually accelerating. As yet, we still don’t know why this is happening, and it is attributed to “dark energy”, a name chosen because we just don’t understand it as yet.
It also gave us a more precise date of the universe, about 13.8 billion years. Hopefully, the James Webb Space Telescope will allow us to learn more about the early universe, and these topics.
I can only assume that the word ”museum” has no value for YE creationists.
Edit: The noah cartoon is amazeballs.
Muses are non biblical, so a place celebrating their inspirational role for culture AND science obviously is anathema to the sort of culture that would love nothing more than to build temples from the skulls and on the corpses of their perceived enemies. Including those promoting culture and science like a real museum would do.
I think you could really have an impact on changing some people's minds in this non-debate. You are non-combative, very likable, fun to listen to and funny, and most of all, your content is chocked full of facts and details that cannot just be brushed away with some silly retort like "dogs produce dogs". I just want to encourage you to keep making content like this. The more the better. I think the way you approach this topic might at least cause some people to consider the possibility that it is ok to believe and accept reality.
Agreed. We need more like her to counter these claims, and less TJ Kirk's.
Absolutely. I'm considering showing this video to some of my Creationist friends. As an ex-YEC, I've experienced first-hand how absolutely insane the consequences of that """worldview""" can be, and so it's hard for me to see people I care about still believe in it. But it's also really difficult to get out of that mindset (it's basically a cult mindset), because being presented with facts for evolution feels like an attack. her good-natured humour could do a lot to make people feel less emotionally fragile in the presence of facts for evolution. (Also, since some YECs out there don't like AiG, interestingly enough, exposing AiG as fraudsters might actually be a pretty sound first step.)
She's fighting the wrong fight. Creationism vs. Darwinism is so 1990s. This is 2021. The fight today is over leftists pushing Kumbaya crap Out of Africa theory vs. Multiregional origins. Erika and her clan are losing the Out of Africa battle, so they naturally lash out at an easy target like Christians, Young Earth folks.
It woud make no difference. These people have decided that what they belive is right and no matter what you say or evidence you give it wil not change their minds. They have to come to it themselves.
JAJAJA
There's literally civilizations that where around during when this flood supposedly happened, and thousands of years before leading up to and after it happened, and they were just fine. To beleive this actually happened and is true is ignorance beyond understanding. It's also a story, like the Moses story that was taken from an older account from another culture. I am continually shocked that people are truly this ignorant.
The "non-believer visits the Ark Encounter" video is like a rite of passage at this point. But I've never seen one that's such a head on, detailed takedown while also giving a nod to the artistry and experience. I've seen maybe 4 or 5 of these at this point. No offense to some of my favorite Atheist creators, but this one sets a high bar on all fronts.
And it was done intelligently, thoughtfully. I was very impressed. She's very gentle, not brash. I enjoyed the video immensely.
*AMEN!*
--- umm...
Atheist creators???? Now there is a contradiction in terms if ever there was one. Still just a reflection of the intelligence level of those who believe we came from a rock!!!
@@eddiegood1776 Aren't you a Christian? Don't you believe we were made from dirt?
Or that women were made from the rib of a man? And that, because ONE woman disobeyed God that ONE TIME, all women have to suffer and often die in childbirth for a millenia? Dosen't sound very smart and logical to me.
After release from the Ark, it was extremely self-sacrificing of the carnivores to go hungry and desist from feeding on live herbivores and each other, in order that all species would have plenty of time to breed and regain their numbers That's what I call taking one for the team.
I would have just been told, God made them not eat each other. Good old don't question God :/
@@Highraven God tranquilized them to eat later, like the lions in the lions' den with Daniel, because God is an Alien, ancient astronaut theorists say yes! #AliensDidIt
Must all have gone pescetarian I guess
What did the lions eat.?
The Unicorns.
Excellent point!
I love that the ark encounter skimped on the wood and didn't use properly treated wood neither did they seal the wood to protect it. It's facade, cause that's all that "boat" is, is deteriorating so fast.
It's about the story of the flood not treated lumber
@@timsmith530 First you have to prove that story true. Which we know is scientifically impossible. So, really it's a bullshit story.
@@BaronFeydRautha Same as your comment
@@timsmith530 Lulz. That's all you have to defend your super being? "Nuh uh". Really?
Try again! You can do better than that
This attraction surely would've sealed my the fate of any chance my parent's had in keeping me "in faith" when I was a kid. I was already asking hard questions by 8ish yeas old. The moment my eyes and ears were exposed to these "explanations", it would've been over.
I feel like this theme park probably has an unexpected opposite effect on some people.
The road to atheism is littered with Bibles ❤
@@undrwatropium3724I was raised in a very Orthodox Christian community.
The most honest believers among us were the women. Women are told they are not allowed to touch the Bible.
You know how people say say “Fear the Lord” but they never actually mean to be scared of Him? With your ark story art, I think I get what they’re talking about. I would love to see more Bible stories told with art so cryptically and slightly macabre.
i mean yall are pure trash an ignorance. if there were a god he would have already wiped you out an made something better. like cats an maybe he wouldve begun marring the pedos who run these media outlets for fun. im trying to figure it out but it looks kinda obvious if there were a god they created this prison called earth for really bad beings to be safely locked away from existence
I rarely comment on UA-cam videos, but this was way too good to pass. As someone with a degree in biblical studies, I love it when biblical pseudo-scholarship gets obliterated like this.
Congratulations on your thesis!
Nice to see Christians that have reason. The old ways of brutality and holy war is (mostly) gone, and a good, true Christianity that respects the teachings of Jesus has come forth.
@@diegorincon4673 minus the SDA pastor saying 'gentelmen, the best woman to rape is your wife' and then the ya know conversion camps. The sexual assault of people in churches in general and then all the strangely religious residential schools. But yeah all that we can sweep under the rug and ignore because some religions are being a bit more quiet?
No, religion is a curse and should be destroyed.
@@concentricmachining4636 im former SDA myself... r/hermancainawards
I have heard of Biblical Scholars who are indeed atheists as well.
Sometimes the former leads to the latter.
Last summer, I visited these two “museums” as part of a long road trip. I cannot recommend going there enough. I have been to over 30 countries and have lived in three. In all my travels, I’ve never seen anything as strange and surreal. It was fascinating to observe the people there. As far as what these two places were trying to convince visitors of (most of whom were already convinced) and the “science” that they created out of whole cloth, at first I found it hilarious, then troubling, then enraging, then exhausting, then numbing, hilarious again. In all the countries I’ve visited, have never felt like I’ve done such a deep dive into a totally different culture. I felt like a foreigner there, even though I am an American. The only thing that will make me forget that experience is amnesia, or Alzheimer’s, or dementia, or death.
1:14:12 I hadn’t heard the flood myth in a while, but it’s a great reminder how unabashedly evil God really is. According to your book, you committed the greatest genocide the world ever knew and yet still claim to be all-benevolent.
As someone who’s lived all their life in a heavily Calvinist Christian area, I actually didn’t know that young-earth creationism is on its way out. I assumed the majority of Christians believed it. It’s nice to know that’s not the case.
Same, I only found out last year that it wasn't a majority position
Get out more often. It'd be good for you.
@@campfireaddict6417 I’ll keep that in mind :)
Not only that, it´s a phenomenom almost unique to the United States. I´m a peruvian catholic, and has lived most of my life in Venezuela. I actually did my high school in a medium town in Venezuela´s agricultural region and NEVER met a creationist. When I started hearing about them I could hardly believe it, I thought it was some kind of silly joke. Same thing with flat earthers...
I used to be both a Calvinist and Young-earth Creationist.
I've gotten out of both ideological mind-traps.
One of the keys in these ideologies is convincing the "faithful" that they, and only they, have the "true understanding," and "if only all Christians could be so enlightened."
