Have an awesome day and never stop learning!
Every single time apologists say that they have came up with an argument to "destroy atheism" then you already know that the argument is not going to hold any merit.
Its always some form of an old argument.. its never new. This book is so old and crusty.. theres nothing that it can say or do that hasn't already been done.
OMG, if I hear another Kalam argument or any similar variant, I'm gonna 😱 scream!
DesTROYING atheism! PROVING God is REAL! Factual EVIDENCE! Scientists HATE this One Simple Trick! [NOT CLICKBAIT!!!]
Yea, these people are all pretty much the same.
Yeah, it is hard to beat a constantly growing pool of knowledge with a single old collection of stories. Cherry picking get you only so far.
Its always the kalam cosmological, teliological, or some kind of morality argument as if we haven't heard those things 500 times
“This is an example of someone being so far behind, that they think they’re in first place”
That’s gold.
It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect.
Atheists are all headed towards hell.
Actually it's bronze, they'd love to think it's gold though
@@phillipanderson7899 💀
@@DownhillAllTheWaydunning Krueger applies to people who know SOMETHING about what they’re talking about, not this guy
Every time an apologist claims they have undeniable proof it always seems like a 20 year old episode of the atheist experience. They don't have any new ideas, they just keep on recycling the old ones and guys like Forrest come up with new entertaining ways of calling BS on them.
Yeah Matt from Atheist Experience is at the point where he gets mad before the apologists even get to their dumb point because he's heard them so often that he just automatically knows the path they're gonna take, and he's almost never wrong.
That's how dumb these people are. They think they came up with something, and instead of researching this they immediately think they discovered something that somehow, millions of smarter people before them just totally missed.
That actually happened to me once, I came up with the idea for an electric motor, went online to research this "new" contraption, and found out it's actually 200 years old ^.^
Maybe it's not actually stupidity, but hubris. Either one is bad though.
The fact remains that ATHEISM is all about the murder of logic/intellectual suicide. Atheism is the equivalent of saying mud, star dust or NOTHING has the INTELLIGENCE, POWER, PURPOSE, RESOURCES & MEANS to produce LIFE, INTELLIGENCE, LOVE, CONSCIOUSNESS & MORALITY, including the human being, plants & animals, including ALL the co-existent DESIGNED bodily systems (circulatory, respiratory, reproductive, pulmonic, digestive, skeletal, muscular, nervous, body (skin), etc., etc.) intertwined in order and co-dependence in the human body and THAT SAME DESIGN seen in MILLIONS of other animals. Atheism = mental illness.
Sounds awfully familiar to flearthers.
@@johnscaramis2515 because conspiracy theories are a religious ideology in their core.
@@Nerobyrne When someone comes up with a new idea, the first thing they should always do is: Check if it's actually new. If it is, the second thing they should do is: Wonder why it hasn't been done before. (RUule number one for engineers, why has noone build this before?). And only once you pass those two tests, THEN you start thinking about your very own new idea.
Of course rule number two does not mean that everything that hasn't been done before automatically has a critical flaw and therefore should be discarded. But chances are if you just found a revolutionary new transport system that is cheaper, faster and less prone to damage than cars, trains, boats AND planes, there's probably a critical flaw in your idea.
My only advice to you, Forrest, is to MAKE MORE CONTENT! Your Reacteria videos are awesome and the world needs more of them. Keep it up man! I really enjoy your videos!
I recommend listening to his podcast!
Its really interesting and also explains why he cant just make more Videos, as hes hella busy
@@Killroy007 I was about to suggest the same lmao Forrest is still a student and has projects and papers to write. I appreciate the few videos he does make since I know how busy he is.
@@Killroy007 yes the podcast is brilliant!
Seriously, I absolutely love his content. But that I get that he's busy!
@@Killroy007 wait...
What podcast????? O_o
I NEED IT
+ what is it about
It's not even voluntary at this point, I just reflexively click reacteria the moment it crosses my eyes and enters my notifications
That's the nicest way I've ever heard of essentially accusing someone of forcing you to do something against your will... lol ;-)
I didn't even know that it was reacteria; I saw Forrest on the thumbnail, I tapped it(phone and tablet).
Same
@@zemorph42 definitely! Love all his stuff. ;-)
right?
Even animals realize that there are laws of physics. You wouldn't see dogs jumping off cliffs, would you? Dogs doesn't need deep understanding of gravity, to realize that if they jump from somewhere high, it will hurt, and the bigger the fall the worse is the injury. Guess biblical people didn't realize that thus they were flying of cliffs, until the Bible mentioned nature's regularity. Guess until than they expected every cliff jump to end differently...
Yeah I think most humans know that,some animals literally made the words laws of physics
Some animals made an explosion that explodes gently to ride to space.
And let's not forget, Moses went to the top of the mountain to speak to God and returned with the 10 commandments, one of which was, Thou shalt not kill. This gem was then imparted to the Israelites. I wonder if this came as something of a surprise to them or whether they had already worked out that killing each other was probably not such a good idea.
@@andystokes8702 It's worse than you think. The commandment was not "thou shat not kill" but "thou shalt not murder". It was a commandment not to do something that they'd already decided they shouldn't do. Killing people was still fine, by the way, as long as it didn't legally count as murder - such as going to war or executing gay people.
@@Grim_Beard Not just war and executing gays either. It also extends to people wearing clothing of mixed fibres, sowing 2 different crops in the same field, gathering sticks on the wrong day of the week, stoning to death your disobedient children, the list is quite extensive.
The science road trip was cool, but more Reacteria would be great, too.
Isn't this the guy who said he "proved gravity"? LMFAO
@@kevc5510 no that was Isaac Newton
@@kevc5510 why are you spamming lmao
@@kevc5510 Ok, MAGA. Go worship Trump. No reason to take you seriously.
@@kevc5510
Nothing is proven in science. See mathematics.
Hey, I interacted with him earlier this year. We had a back and forth where he defended genocide. He then sent me a link to one of his UA-cam videos...where he defended genocide
And it really shows how warped his morality is.
Dennis is an example of why you shouldn't take your bible lessons as science
True
Or ethics. Since he apparently thinks that ethnic cleansing is a totally legit thing to do.
Its possibly MUCH worse than that:
If, as this videos suggests, he believes that ethnic cleansing and mass infanticide are justifiable, then Dennis is a psychopath.
@@joachimschoder yeah we just skipped right past that....
And of why you shouldn't take Bible lessons
Dennis's reasoning:
Harry Potter's book says that he breathes. He indeed breathes, therefore we should fear the Dark Lord and worship the Chosen One.
😮you’re right!
The greatest trick Voldemort has ever played is convincing humanity he isn't real.
Awesome video, Forrest!
Btw:
That pooping gardening gnome is a “caganer”. A typical thing from the Spanish region of Catalonia. You can see the “cag..” written on the base.
I’m really excited that this Catalan cultural feature made an appearance in one of your videos!!
Thanks so much for your work!
There's also a Pixaner, the "pisser"!
Isn't this the guy who said he "proved gravity"? LMFAO
@@kevc5510 anyone can prove gravity, just drop something ^^
Or ... I dunno exist on Earth ig
@@kevc5510 Even you can prove it.
Oh, wow. I was expecting a zero or a negative number. The garden gnome caught me completely off-guard.
I felt 'delightened' by Dennis's revelations.
Thank goodness for Reacteria switching the light back on.
The day is always great when Forrest posts!
it really is. Forrest has a way to really make the world better
True
@@shanewilson7994 if he were my teacher, I’d be so excited to go back to school
Sure is, Forrest is awsome
"Secret Science" feels like an oxymoron
Yeah
That's like a thing in 40K
It's like Nostradamus prophecy, where it can only predict stuff that already happened.
I love how these apologists think their limited number of arguments haven’t been recycled and completely debunked thousands of times. They really think it’s this brand new revelation that will completely overturn the entire scientific community
This is positively the most confrontational and disrespectful debunking I've ever seen..... Subscribed
I love it when the debunking is disrespectful, religion doesn't deserve any respect.
It's been a crazy day in American politics, so I'd like to thank you for a fantastic reprieve. Science just soothes the soul, ya know?
Greetings from Oregon
It really does
Greetings from big Texas
And Olivia Newton John's death. RIP.
🥺
@@jquest99 Yeah, that provoked an avalanche of people singing out loud "suck my dick" ("chupa la callampa") around these parts. It's funny how different places experiment culture.
for real tho... and Hello from little 'ol Forest Grove, Oregon 😀 ... my deepest sympathy if you hail from any of our state's RED counties ... its pretty much a dead even 50/50 split here in the Grove.
Yeah, the day probably ended in a y.
Ok for all the “Bible is a science book” believers, I’ve got few simple challenges for you! 1) use Bible science to correct your eyesight defects 2) Practice oral hygiene as it was done in the Bible 3) Use the same type of plumbing as it was used in Biblical times to practice your daily grooming 4) Obtain and preserve your food using Biblical time methods 5) Communicate and commute with the means used by Moses n Co.
A bit “uncomfortable” ain’t it? I wonder if you can guess, why the Bible didn’t even know how to make a sewage system and running water! The pagan Romans knew this better, didn’t they. 😏🙄🤷🏻🤦
Step 1: wait for God to provide
Step 2: complain about being sick of quail and wanting something else
Step 3: you now have infinite quail :D
@@storyspren loooool
This has nothing to do with the Bible? This is just common practices of back then
@@vicinitrix927 "This is just common practices of back then" Not really, the Romans were miles ahead of them in every sense.
@@farrex0 Greeks too
The titles of the videos in 1:50 are... "extra fun" right now. 🙃
Thank you, Forrest! We needed some freshies; I've been rewatching the Tiktok livestream and Ask an Atheist Day all week while I pack up for a PCS. Keep em coming, sir.
Forrest is one of the smartest dudes I have ever seen. Along with Aron Ra and Gutsick Gibbon. YEC will lose in spectacular fashion ever time. They need to give up
@@AbsenceOfLogic he just gives facts and that's enough to be logical.
It takes a true genius to notice that the sun goes around the Earth, which is spherical. That sounds sarcastic, but in the US it’s kind of true.
@@Leith_Crowther yeah, but you know, the US is some kind of anomaly. It's like a rolling joke over in Europe how Americans know shit about anything
@@Leith_Crowther the Earth goes around the sun i hope you meant to say.
@@bortgov8624 I meant to say that. Too much stupid is already rotting my brain, perhaps.
That bit about him being so far behind that he thinks he's in first place is a very real phenomenon. I've noticed that a lot of times the people who think they have a groundbreaking new argument are actually just recycling arguments from the past that have been strongly disproven, but they don't realize it because nobody has talked about it in so long since it was shot down already. It's like finding a really shitty old movie at a Blockbuster and thinking it's something new and original cos everyone intentionally forgot about it.
Dennis is appealing to the Herschel Walkers of the world...
Point: Heliocentrism (which can be determined by observing the night sky and being willing to think outside of the box) is described in certain verses of the Rig Veda, which predates any of the Biblical/Talmudic texts, so I guess that we should all start worshipping Indra as a Creator God who makes the Earth orbit the sun using an invisible force despite the fact that even modern Hindus don't consider him a Creator-tier god.
Eh best play it safe and remain neutral right?
@@phoenix0166 ,
I agree... we might annoy the spirits actually responsible for those orbits!
Cause, if you trace the development of spirituality it will always come back to 'ancestors' and such kin.
Bro! I've been waiting for a new one of these. Your awesome Forrest. My favorite science communicator on UA-cam.
Hi Forrest. Immediately after watching your video, I visited his channel to check the playlist and what a surprise when I saw one of the thumbnails with a title "Are the Marcos really thieves?". Im from the Philippines so I checked the video, it was empty so I just read the "article" in the description. In his own words (verbatim) below, this sums up what he thinks about the 20-year dictatorship of Ferdinand E. Marcos under which thousands disappeared, tortured and killed. The atrocities and corruption under the martial law imposed by Marcos are fully documented including court decisions and records.
"The thing is, no matter how infamous a family is or a person, no matter how notorious they are for misdeeds, corruption or evil through court conviction-one thing is sure, the court isnt the final arbiter of who is guilty or not. The court isnt the final judicial authority in matters of determining who is evil or not. It would always be God Almighty as final determinant in his jurisdiction and judicial right as ultimate judge."
Defending Marcos is a topic in one of his free religious books.
Sigh.
I mean, after seeing that he titled a video "defending Israel's ethnic cleansing", could you REALLY say you were surprised?
And if the Marcos love Jesus, they get into heaven according to their worldview 🙃
Hey, it's been a month and I'm starving for more reacteria! Thank you for making these
Yeah like the one they about the expansion of the universe is actually referring to the creation of the sky.
“Bible said the Earth is a circle” is a favourite of doorstep proselytising Jehovah’s Witnesses - I’ve heard it in two different countries. The disappointment when I pointed out that the Earth is in fact a sphere and that “circle” implies the Earth is flat, was equally tangible both times.
Damn it Forrest, I was about to go to sleep!
Jokes aside, love your content, there is always something interesting and cool to learn in your videos.
I don’t need sleep. I need answers
never joke about going to sleep.... ;)
@@bunnykiller I’m me from the future. I slept none. I needed answers. Answers that I would never get.
Poor, poor Dennis. I really do hope he offered this challenge with the intention of actually learning something upon his challenge being accepted and completely dismantled. But, something tells me that isn't going to be the case, and he's simply going to ignore everything you've just attempted to teach him and continue peddling his absolute nonsense.
he's a Zionist, he's immune to knowledge.
These people are so insane it's hard to find someone more off their rocker.
he is prob just trying to spread his channel
@@Henrik_Holst And sell his book.
The chance for Dennis putting this up to learn things is equally as high as god being real. It's zero.
@@EskChan19 People always remember that God exist, they won’t remember you.
The Vatican's admission that this planet isn't the center of our local system is only a year older then I am. ...
Trying to defend/justify biblical texts leads people to make increasingly absurd claims and the denial of obvious and proven facts.
Dennis looks like even more of a war crime apologist nowadays...
Just like Stalin apologists
I woke up and saw this video. Watched it and now my day is awesome. All thanks to your incredible energy and enthusiasm Forrest. I love you. Keep up the good work.
I’ve seen literally every video you’ve made and guest starred in and yet I still need more Forrest Valkai content
Pooping Garden Gnome out of 10 is just a bit generous I feel.
But I guess you had to take some mercy on Dennis.
Hey forrest! I love how excited you seem to get talking about science. It gets me excited and inspired too. I love reacteria you awsome
Nice one Forrest.
Just wanted to say I've been really enjoying learning from you on ACA shows and the line so keep it up if possible :)
What I love most (apart from all the scientific accuracy of course) is his 🤷 move. Makes me 🤣 each time.
I'm beginning to think earth may be square.
Hi - As an Israeli, we don't claim this person or his stance on ethnic cleansing - he is a horrible human being. We want peace and co-existence, and it's a shame the vocal minority with such disgusting views about other human beings is allowed a platform like that.
"We want peace and co-existence"
The voting majority of you clearly don't. You keep electing monsters.
How come I never hear any Israelis standing up and condemning the murder of children?
@@mg-ew2xffirs of all this conflict is way more complicated that it seems please believe me when I tell u it's not that easy. Second of all yeah there are people like this, but unfortunately we still don't have a doable solution, I really recommend reading about this conflict if you want to get a full answer
@@mg-ew2xf What a moronic statement. Like saying "I never heard Germans condemning the holocaust".
pooping garden gnome pretty high rating for this one imo
Love your videos so much more than the call in shows. Those must be a bit easier, not so much editing and writing. But you get to ramble on and that is what we love you for ❤️
Sending love from a fellow Okie. Keep doing what you're doing dude.
Thank you for all that you do, Forrest. You have helped me so much on my learning journey and have given me a reason to care about answers and invest myself in the wonders all around me. I’m so grateful for the internet and for your channel. Been trying for so long to properly break away from the stagnation I’ve grown up surrounded by and to see you thriving in a place like Oklahoma means a lot to me. It brings me hope. Really, thank you :)
Ps. Road trip video is incredible! Would recommend
Have a wonderful day!!!
Cheers 😽
I was under the impression that the church acknowledged Galileo was right in about 1929, but in 1992, finally, publicly & officially apologized to him.
I liked that analogy "so far behind that they think they are in first place".
Wtg. Thank you for another great video. When would it be obvious already that science beats ancient myth for any practical purpose?
Isn't this the guy who said he "proved gravity"? LMFAO
I grew up in one of the most conservative Evangelical Christian Churches on the planet... Throughout my childhood I had sooo may questions that no one could answer including the clergy... I kept getting sucked back into the church due to my desire to keep my relationships with family and friends... In my late 20's I was an adult Sunday School Class teacher... When I reached 30, I could no longer abide the lie and left the church... I had a close friend that ended up being the head pastor of the Church I grew up in and he asked that we meet and discuss why I left the church... We spent 3 hours discussing it and by the time we were done, I had used the Bible to prove that Christianity was false, and he agreed with me... I used this tactic several times when church people of various denominations dropped by my front door to evangelize... In about 50% of the cases, I had them doubting their faith in a way that they never had before and some outright agreed with me... IGNORANCE!!!
Just wanted to give ya a heads-up, Forrest! 😁 Viced Rhino and Suris gave you a shout-out on their recent Watering Hole video on whether sex is binary or bimodal. Super interesting stuff.
I highly recommend looking into the field of Epi-genetics....
Quite interesting when you consider how it alone would influence the concept of 'binary sex.'
Added:
To be fair, I wonder how many people arguing for this Binary Sex concept have studied normal Genetics...!
For they would notice the glaring problem with Binary Sex to start with: It isn't a single Gene but several, of which my favourite is Sox-9, that handle the process of sexual development over multiple points as an embryo. The X and Y categorization that a lot of people want to use is the whole chromosomes on which these vital genes simply reside. The fact we have several genes all working together to determine some very specialized tissues... amazing, quite beautiful if you ask me.
I, honestly, think the 'error' rate of around 2% is down right miraculous when you consider all of what is actually going on.
- Not a biologist, just really really really love genetic expression and how it goes "wrong."
@@lostbutfreesoul Amazing indeed. 😁 Thanks for the info!
WOW have the Israel videos aged…
As if they weren’t already bad enough!
Beautiful! Incredible! I got so excited when I saw this upload.
Can we get a video where you unpack a bunch of the things in the Bible that are either proven false or obviously morally wrong? I love when you point those out and a compiled list would help me talk about this in a more educated way, since I don’t really have time to read and interpret the whole Bible right now.
Wow. Dennis was freaking ripped to shreds. That's impressive
His argument was also really stupid though, and he's an apologist so it's not THAT impressive. That's like being impressed that a university professor is better at maths than a preschooler.
I've watched many of your videos, and developed a bad habit of not leaving a comment 😅.Thank you for devoting a larger part of your life to helping others better understand science. I admire people like you, who aim to educate people like myself, who seek truth. 🥂Cheers to debunking ridiculous claims while slowly being driven insane by them 🤣.
Jesus is the truth .
I loved your road-trip video! It was cool to see the land, and hear you get all excited about it! Would so be down for more videos like that, reacteria is still awesome too!!
First person I’ve subscribed to. I love how he teaches so much that I just want him to learn about every single thing there is to know about science because I love all these videos. Especially the “history of everything” video.
I love watching creationists trying to use the Bible to justify their anti-science beliefs. Bc I take classes from people who have PhDs in biblical scholarship and the ancient near east and it’s agreed upon by experts that the Bible is a literary, cultural work put together over hundreds of years-and that’s just the Old Testament, which was canonized 1,000 years after major parts of it were written. It’s not meant to be taken literally, but as a representative of a cultural group’s worldview and legendary past.
Loved your science road trip. More please
Rewatched and this is just so good Forrest - thank you.
Please, if the bible was scientific, there wouldn’t be so much incest within its pages. Dennis’s violent views on Palestine are downright disgusting and speaks volume to who he is as a person.
I mean incest doesn't really have anything to do with scientific accuracy. It's not scientifically accurate at all of course, but not because there's incest in the book.
@@EskChan19 A god that was indeed all knowledgeable would not have advocated for incest in the first place. The bible was written and translated by superstitious primitives at the time.
Thank you Forrest! I adore your channel !
Seriously, Schools are heavily flawed, i hope Forrest reacts to
the new GOP-Video of "Some More News"!
A Video that epicly talks about the Flaws in the Schoolsystem
for over an Hour!
So excited when Forrest puts out a video 😁😁
Another great video Forrest. Thanks for all your hard work.
It’s not really his fault, he’s just regurgitating information that was indoctrinated to him. When you learn in a closed circuit, you’re stuck with limited knowledge. Thanks for your vid’s, keeps things honest.
No, he has been corrected many times. He has been proven wrong many times. Many average christians simply don't know better or were indoctrinated. But as a professional apologist you know better. Professional apologists know that they are wrong but still play along, because it gets their books sold, and christians are very easy to sell a lot of junk if you make them think it's to help god.
@@EskChan19 I agree.
Surely doesn't help that this particular course of circular logic begins with an admonition not to seek knowledge. It is literally the first commandment in the Bible: Be ignorant!
God tells you that he is literally above you.
I would really love one of these Reacteria episodes on Long Story Short. It's basically a PragerU equivalent channel, and the videos are well-made. The arguments...not so much.
The only thing flat earthers have to fear is sphere itself.
Thank you for all the videos! Debunking and educating at the same time
I need to take a break from watching videos about apologists soon. I'll end up with brain damage from all the face palming..
Dennis knows that Microsoft Office's PowerPoint exports slideshows as video, right?
Woah there! That pooping garden gnome is fantastic!!!
You had me hooked in the first minute. Well done!
The garden gnome was a nice touch.
I'm surprised you scored him that high 😀
Yeah, it should've had a belt of toilet paper wrapped around it, to immortalize the "free software" watermark. xD

I don’t comment much here but I wanted to say I really love the eternal optimism you give off. You always feel like a glass 1/2 full kind of guy and I really appreciate that about you.
There was someone who told me that the Bible knew about Pi, because a passage mentioned making a stone circle 21 stones around and 7 stones across.
That’s like saying the Bible knew about Rayleigh scattering because it said the sky was blue.
Exactly, also like saying the bible knew me personally because it talked about mark.
The genius of bible writers is that they make it ambiguous enough that you can interpret it to whatever context you want
That's not pi, it's just 3.
I literally scared my birb off my head when I gasped seeing the notification for a new Reacteria.
whats a birb?
@@bunnykiller from an internet search:
*Birb is a slightly daffy word from the same school of internet absurdity that gave us LOLCats (“I Can Haz Cheezburger”) and Doge (“Much Meme, very cute. Wow.”) Yet unlike these online gags, or memes, birb functions as a category rather than a stock character. It is roughly akin to “doggo”*
I wonder why he had a bird on his head though
The problem is not when somebody is a simpleton, the problem arises when the simpleton considers itself a genius.

That Dennis guy is as sharp as a marble that's for sure.
This is just what I need to finish the day
I read the title wrong and mixed the words with the thumbnail so I got, "Is the Bible flat?"
I was going to say a shitpost about the curvature of the bible cover but then I paused and realized that I don't have any idea if the original bible was actually in scroll form. I'm gonna have to go look up when book binding was invented.
because your misread question's answer might very well actually be "the bible was scrolls and therefore not flat originally, flat bible is a modern invention" like the levels of hell coming from italian bible fanfic.
@@neoqwerty Thank you for overthinking this for me. ❤
hell yeah new Forrest video!
Dennis is the kind of person who thinks that humanity did not exist prior to the Bible.
Astronomy was a big part of Kazakh culture before colonization, planets, stars and milky way is even named bird passage, it's fascinating how many nations around the world teached, learned and discovered science but some humans still thing everything spins around their old book
It all points to Jesus.
Pooping garden gnome/10
I may be a devout Christian, but man do I enjoy a good creationist take down
Same mate
I really enjoy your clear and concise videos. I love how you debunk creationists with such understanding. Thank you.
@8:22 "insects do have four legs, but they also have two more, check mate atheists!" - Bible literalists probably
Will always be fascinated by the horror stories Americans have.
Not to say Australia lacks these sorts, but when ~40% of the population identifies as Agnostic or Atheist....
Never saw anyone back home get disowned by their family over simply not following the same man in the sky myth!
You forgot the part where what a dead guy may or may not have said many moons ago is the sole justification behind many laws (whether Jesus or the founding fathers). Stuff is wild over here in the States.
But those are religions that are TOO fundamentalist, or too extreme. In most big cities in the US, nobody cares if you believe in God or not. I'm an atheist and there are people in my family who believe in God. They don't mind that I'm atheist. Take Jehovah's witnesses (around the world. They are so mean that they "disown their own sons or daughters all because of their religion)
Yeah it's really weird. I live in a place where nearly everyone has rejected religion or don't consider it an important aspect of life whatsover, and nobody would bat an eyelash at you "coming out" as atheist/agnostic. Welcome to the club they'd say, really. Churches are literally falling to pieces because there's no longer devotees visiting them. You may come across people such as myself who have been baptized by their parents out of habit but are non-practitioners or non-believers. Looking at the US having real issues teaching evolution or sex ed in school is quite concerning. Or overturning fundamental human rights laws based on religious beliefs... It's terrifying actually. The US exerts a lot of influence like it or not, and fringe right-wingers and conservatives everywhere are feeling validated and empowered by all this stuff happening and are coming out of the woodwork to make a living hell for everyone else with functioning brain cells.
@@xen0bia There's also this almost religious reverence around the "right to firearms", the flag/Constitution and conservative figures too by a fair number of people where I live (and I am in a more liberal county in the US so take from that what you will). In some cases it teeters on, if not falls deep into, the types of behaviors you'd expect from a Scientologist enclave or a doomsday cult. I am not even exaggerating. That is the crazy part. The Internet had made it pretty easy for extremists to meet and for people to fall into bubbles. Factor in the lack of emphasis of critical thinking and logic in place in US schools nowadays (basically factory worker mindset), a strong us-vs-them mentality ingrained by our very system, and all this enabling of extremism that has been allowed (ie. certain political leaders not telling fascists to take a hike) you've got a recipe for well what we have. When I say weird I am really underselling it.
@Peabrain The Victorious I'm pretty sure Australia would not take him back even if he returned sailing a perfect copy of Noah's ark that passed through a hurricane undamaged and then parted the Pacific Ocean lol
Can't wait to watch you and ShannonQ on the 14th!
I adore your super highlighted Bible. Thank you for being so freakin awesome.
Be more like Forest👍🏼...Don't be like Dennis👎🏼
Your vids helped me realize Christianity doesn't make sense and that evolution does. Thank you. Keep it up!
this is SO satisfying to see.... maybe there is still hope for humanity. Welcome to the side of reason.
Amen 😌
Three Popes have publicly announced the acceptance of Evolution by themselves and the Roman Catholic Church.
The most recent; Pope Francis in October 2014, when addressing the Pontifical Academy of Science, urged all Catholics to accept Darwinian Evolution.
Evolution doesn't actually conflict with Creationism. Christianity does make sense when you take the Bible in context.
@@nicholasemjohnson47Agreed, if you take the Bible in the context of a mythical fiction story with a message. Star Wars is another great story of good vs. evil and how to conquer evil with "The Force".
forrest, your podcast is awesome
i especially liked the episode when you made guacamole
This may be tangential, but my favorite mathemetician is Eratosthenes, because he measured the circumference of the Earth 3000 years ago...using the Sun, some sticks, shadows, and math. Then, 3000 years later, we proved he was correct (minor margin of error, only off by a matter of meters), using freaking satellites and lasers. What a legend.
i still want my isotope (and allotrope bc they are even cooler) podcast ep. ;-;
I can't read because my brain read this as "isopod" and I was going "what's an allopod", then re-reading got me "isotape" which confused me even more.
I do hope that you get your isotope and allotrope podcast episodes though. I'll knock on wood for you.
Bro I’m from Israel, what the hell are those videos that this guy posted? I’m in shock 😂😅
He wasn't an Israeli
Pretty epic; a quick Reacteria video for me to watch during breakfast!
It’s insane how smart ancient people were….
7:32 "....the bible contains ******vague******** refences...."
