The whole "where did echo-location come from" argument is not only wrong, it's highly offensive to the many partially-sighted humans who learn to use spatial perception to navigate through their world. This is not due to some kind of "Daredevil" like "superpower", it is down to developing and monitoring senses we all have when we enter a space and assess whether it is a large, empty space or a small, cramped space. It is learning to pick up on the reflection of small sounds; the tapping of your stick, the sound of your footsteps etc, to develop a sense of your surroundings. (I am aware that I am over-simplifying a lengthy and complex learning process!). Basically, if there were a need, over time, humans could develop echo-location too!
These guys seem to live in a bubble completely unaware of how other people live. I remember another youtube channel looking at a video of a guy claiming that souls exist because we can create images in our mind, not knowing that there are people who quite literally cannot do that.
indeed....might take a long as hel time ,or demand being very lucky with some mutations... but even humans could develop hole new traits like that...if there was the pressure for it... its soothing to hear Ra still is around smacking at this dishonest stupidity. hmm..this reminds me about that female they found that actually could see parts of ..if it was infrared or ultra violet spectrum or something like that... members of species not only can 'get more' out of ther senses when having spare brain matter to process things more one might say but add some fluke mutations ontop of that...and you never know what old senses might be 're-tooled' for

Even if you have just rolled a 6, the chance of doing that was 1 in 6, and the chances of it happening next roll is also 1 in 6. All the other numbers also have a 1 in 6 chance, but it will always roll a number between 1 and 6 - EG: you won't ever get a zero or 11. So if something has a chance of happening, it will eventually happen - no matter what the odds. If something is impossible, it will never happen.

Let's be honest, that thing is a few billion years of biochemistry playing self-organizing 3D puzzles, even the experts are barely scratching the surface of what can be known about it (at least if we are interested in the very fine details. The broad strokes are at least reasonably known, I reckon).
Dave MUST know what he's talking about. After all there are beakers, graduated cylinders and a microscope (for observing microevolution?) on the table behind him.

Hey Aronra, I just want to thank you for providing me such enlightening entertainment. Watching you pawn some fools while educating those who would otherwise be misled by them... Never gets old.
Same here, I went looking for confirmation of my beliefs & found Aron’s channel instead. The information he presented combined with looking up what he was saying dismantled my faith
Love you got Jackson Wheat in to pinch hit on this video. He’s become a treasure trove for good clear videos about evolutionary topics these past years. He’s a gem of a teacher and a brilliant science communicator.
Sadly he didn’t get the classification of dogs up to date they’re now considered a subspecies of gray wolves so they’re canis lupus familiaris instead of canis domesticus
Enjoy your work AronRa. My father is a blissfully ignorant Christian and one day when I get the balls to shatter his whole reality I plan on doing it with your vids. PS post more hot wings vids LOL
Great video. As humans who live just a few decades, we have no respect for the time scales needed to develop something like a bat. We are bewildered by something so different from us and think that we must have sprung full blown from the hand of a supernatural being. If bats didn't evolve from smaller flightless mammals, where did they come from? This thinking reflects someone who absolutely refutes the ability of life to find a way and needs to explain everything with magical thinking.
I don't remember who said it but he described human brains as, ‘medium-sized creatures living in a medium-sized world moving at medium speeds and existing for a medium amount of time’. To get a human to understand something as big as a solar system or as small as a bacteria takes some bit of imagination because our brains evolved to survive in that medium world filled with things moving at medium speeds.
@@Lobsterwithinternet Another big impediment of the human brain is that it evolved in a world fraught with danger. Pascal's wager was and is a given, as in what if that moving grass is a sabre toothed cat? Thus we evolved as reactionary beings by nature, and it's going to take more time to "outgrow" these traits.
@@Lobsterwithinternet I always thought paradolia was linked more to facial recognition among Simiiaformes.

I'm really enjoying this entire series. I wish I could afford to go back to school for some kind of paleontology studies or something related in that field.
"Remember this guy, the arctic fox?" Well, yeah, I do. But that's not him. That's a coyote. Or maybe a roadrunner in a coyote costume. They do surprisingly good cosplay. And that half shrew, half bat thing... I literally face-palmed when he said that. They were gliders. Like flying squirrels. Also, have you ever seen a vampire bat run? They can move along quite well on the ground.
While roadrunners are great at cosplaying coyotes, they always give themselves away. While a coyote, or a small group of them, can make a frightening noise that sounds like there are many more of them, roadrunners can only say “meep meep!” So if your devil dog “meeps” at you, you know you have an imposter.
The funny thing is that while the Coyote seems to run on some sort of Clockwork (what a silly attempt to implore the "blind watchmaker") they show two correct photos of the Arctic Fox, making it even MORE obvious that the first one wasn't a fox... But as for the clockwork, maybe they really do not understand that biological cells do not work ANYTHING close to mechanical machines? That would explain so much of the gullibility overload that is apologetical arguments for Rocks, Trees and animals all being "designed".
@Joe Andersen Instead of copying and pasting your blather, please explain how Jesus claimed to be descended from David, through his Father, Joseph, when Joseph wasn't his Father? Jesus was lying either about his virgin birth or of being descended from David. They are mutually exclusive claims.
@Joe Andersen So neither God or Joseph are his Father? It is some guy named the Holy Spirit? That Jesus guy really told some whoppers. Oh wait, just read your "answer" again, are you saying that Jesus' Father was actually his Mother's brother? No wonder he preferred claiming God, Joseph, and this Holy Spirit guy as his Father.
Right, also religion takes no effort, intelligence, time or thought to believe. In fact it discourages all those things. Just stop thinking and blindly accept what's in this book. The exact opposite of science which takes time, effort, intelligence and thought and encourages those things.
35:50 Actually, I think that's probably the most honest Dave has ever been. He knows that what he's saying is impossible, but as long as it convinces at least one more person to maintain their belief in his preferred brand of ignorance, he's "done the lord's work".
Deceiving ignorant people is usually attributed to a different being than the one Dave claims to follow. It's funny, because the biblical Satan is far more honest and accurate than God. I do agree there was a hint of honesty in there though. In much the same way the best lies hold grains of truth.

They're hoping you're too stupid to bother fact checking. If you're stupid, you'll believe everything they say and remain in the fold. If you aren't, then they can just claim you're too stupid to understand, that you have faith, or any other strawman they can conjure.
Because if the bible is false, nobody goes to heaven. If we don't go there when we die, then the universe is big and scary and lonely, and they want to feel more important than that, like they somehow deserve to avoid oblivion.
@@DemstarAus You're giving them too much credit. It's more like, "I was taught this was true, and if it isn't, I'll feel stupid, and I don't want to feel stupid, do I'll defy any and all evidence to continue insisting it's true."
They even misrepresented their self-driving car analogy by implying that it uses their 'Continuous Environmental Tracking'. That is not a phrase used anywhere in the field of autonomous vehicles. It does somewhat describe the operation of the sensor suite, but is just a word-salad of their own device. There is no single buzzword for the process described, you could call it what you like and each operator tends to have their own terminology. I spent 6 years at Volvo IT working with Computer Vision for autonomous vehicles. I never encountered the term. I can find zero non-creationist references to CET in literature. Not from Volvo, not from Waymo/Google It rather makes the example redundant, just piggybacking on new tech to appear uptodate. He then proceeds to posit that animals work like computers with his repeating set of steps, its just all over the shop. Yes, if you asked me to create a fox whose coat changes colour seasonally, that is how I would lmplement that as a software engineer. But that is massively irrelevant since he is supposed to be discussing biology. Maybe it was an attempt to imply Intelligent Design, which is indeed what you get if i write the robofox software. I suspect one of their engineers had their hand on the wheel for that part of the script
I wouldn't call creationists stupid, but put them in one of three categories instead. - uninformed, when they have no idea what they're talking about - ignorant, when they were informed about their mistakes and dismiss the information - dishonest, when they decide to tell their demonstrably wrong ideas to others in order to sway them to their side Each of those stages are more difficult to recover from.
Odd how Dave mentions the artic fox, you know, part of the "dog" kind without mentioning why genetically, it cannot inter breed with other foxes, let alone domestic dogs, wolves, coyotes, or any other "dog kind"!
I didn’t just leave fundamentalist YEC, I was driven away by these types of people. When I started doing actual research and found out how much they misrepresent work done by scientists but don’t do any of their own actual research it drove me away.

Yeah, it's a common skill among blind people who can develop it in just months or years of their life. Is it so hard to believe that a species could have perfected it over thousands of lifetimes? Hah.
He does have a point though if you look at it from a biblical perspective. What are the odds that a locust bird develops echo location and nipples? I know a purple dragon who has calculated the odds and it's the same as rolling a 17 on a 13 sided dice 20 trillion times in a reverse row.
@@stylis666 These probabilities they throw out are always funny to me, because not only do they never show a method for how they get the numbers, but they don't even have an n, so how does it even work? They obviously don't even know how to calculate the chance of a d6 rolling 1 three times, 'cause the math is never explained. It's great.

@@forodinssake9570 It's available with him telling the story on video, and that's going to be the better version, but I don't recall which video it's in so I'll tell you. Aron was walking down a dark road one night, might have been Texas, when he saw a coyote cross the road in front of him. The he heard one cross behind him. He realizes "They're circling me" and he has nothing but the sweater on his back to defend himself. So luckily, he sees a car heading his way. And, realizing this might be his only chance to get the car to stop and get hi away from the wild dogs, he throws his arms up in the air to be as big as possible and stands out waving at the car in his big woolly sweater with his long hair and fu manchu. The car veers away and speeds off. Some time later, Aron is in town, made it past the dogs, and he gets a warning about walking alone on the back roads like that, especially given that they'd just had a Bigfoot siting earlier that night.
Thank you Aron for helping to shattering my faith years ago. Freeing me from the cognitive dissonance and denial that kept me from the truth. Keep doing what you are doing. It is vital for humanity to evole beyond the chains of "belief".
At 30:00, he says that mammoths were "much bigger and stronger" than modern elephants. This is incorrect. Woolly mammoths were approximately the same size as modern African elephants. Steppe mammoths were a bit larger, but I suspect he isn't aware that they existed.
I love the argument from seemingly impossible odds. What does he think the odds are that he was the sperm that won the race? The chances are between 30,000,000:1 and 750,000,000:1 and that's just based on average sperm counts and says nothing about the other variables.

I don't know why, but I love seeing creationist pull some concept out of their ass that has nothing to do with evolution. When Dave brought up continuous environmental tracking and describing an autonomous vehicle, I immediate wondered how he imagines animals with no nervous systems, fungi, and unicellular organisms process the world around them. I thought creationists believe humans aren't animals because we're so much smarter, but apparently jellyfish have a sophisticated response system akin to a Google supercomputer.
Keep in mind, he literally said that the eggs of the cavefish process their environment and intelligently choose to transform as a result. Not the fish; the **eggs** do it. How does he suggest that happens when they don't have any organs at all yet, let alone sensory organs? He might even be dumber than Hovind.
For a moment there I thought he had a hold of epigenetics, but couldn't get his brain around it. Like a blind man with an elephant's ear and calling it a leaf.

AUDIO WARNING: At around 16:26 the creationist video has an unnecessarily loud munching noise, which startled me badly. Please be careful headphone users
It’s relatively easy to rebut the pathetic arguments of most of these apologists. I don’t watch most rebuttal videos because they tend to be repetitious and somewhat tedious. What I love about Aron’s videos is that in the process of demolishing nincompoops he also, along with the people he brings on, teaches me new things.
His explanation of how he thinks a transitional creature from shrew to bat would be a half formed doomed creature just helps to display their complete lack of understanding of how features evolve. They think that what we see as a fully formed appendage or trait would be built piece by piece by previous life forms instead of the way it really is in which traits gradually change over time. It isn't a "half wing" or a "half eye". And that's what they just can't seem to grasp.
I had someone tell me this past week that creationists aren't lying because they don't know they're lying because they believe what they say. I responded by saying willful ignorance is lying. 🤣
I think this scientist gives Dave too much credit. Dave's "Adaptation" amounts to how foxes change color in the winter time. It has nothing to do with evolution or natural selection at all.
Dude did anyone else notice Dave used a friggin' coyote for his picture of an arctic fox before it's winter coat?? He couldn't even be bothered to catch that?
Something interesting to know is that there is a split in YEC, there is a group that believes that there were just a few "kinds" in the arc that hyper evolved into all species that currently exist and there is another one that doesn't accept this hyper-evolution, but believes in that "environmental awareness" mentioned by Dave. I suggest the video with Dr. Joel Duff at the chanel Creation Myths to understand it better.
This guy: "Remember this guy?... arctic fox?" Me: "That's no Vulpes... That's some Canis!" I wasn't sure whether it was coyote or not, but for me it was almost jarring that he called that a fox.
34:41 humans can echo locate and it is routinely taught to vision-impaired people. When trained and practiced they can use that to count the number of trees by the sidewalk simply by detecting how the road noise interacts with them.
Aron, I (almost) always enjoy your takedowns of the farcical magic models, and your choices of short clips (e.g. "you are always wrong") frequently make me laugh out loud, but this video's choice of guest is particularly amusing. Mr. Wheat sounds like he not only has such a firm grasp of the material that it's second nature to him, but also that he *can't* quite grasp how anyone could be as fundamentally misinformed as Big Wave Dave. I keep getting the impression that he's really saying something like "WTF made you think that?! What is *wrong* with you?" I'm going to have to watch some of Jackson Wheat's videos next, maybe have yet another channel subscription. If you're reading this, Mr. Wheat, I say "well done". This is well outside my expertise, so another aspect of watching these videos is learning new material, though the humor of hearing the nonsense and rebuttal of that nonsense is huge. I still have issues with the idea of "species", but that's another topic.
Ever notice creationists seem to think that somehow things like eyes, ears, and noses appear fully formed. There are plenty of creatures with underdeveloped or maldeveloped eyes, ears, and noses.

I know I'm super late to the party, but... literally the only context I've heard "constant environmental monitoring" in is robotics. I dunno if poor Wavey Davey is applying a robotics concept to evolution because he doesn't understand either of them very well, or if he-- or whoever writes his scripts for him, at any rate; I'm far too nice and willing to give people like him the benefit of the doubt-- is doing it to make animals seem more robotic/primitive and therefore make Humans more "not animals." Could be both honestly. Personally the idea of animals being reduced to the same level as a self driving car (which you can, ironically, stop with a salt circle) is just insulting to animals. If you've ever had the joy of living with a dog, cat, or obnoxious feathery dinosaur, you know they absolutely have feelings; favorite things, dislikes, desires, opinions, and complex relationships with others, just like humans do. They even have some grasp of dishonesty; dogs can learn to fake a limp for treats and affection. At least when dogs are dishonest, their motives are pretty transparent.

No, he demands you to show him something that is 50 % identical with a modern Shrew and 50 % identical with a modern bat. Basically demanding you glue half of one ontop of half of the other, and then asserting such a creature could not exist.
Well at least this video presented an argument for creation that I had never heard before. Too bad for them that it is still wrong. Enjoyed hearing Jackson's take on it all.
35:27 How do you know it was not capable of echolocation? It may not be capable of as effective echolocation, but where do you draw the line for being capable of echolocation? Most people can tell by the echo if they are in an empty room, open space, huge cavern or room full of furniture... Some people, especially blind ones, can echolocate to a certain degree and click tongue and describe their surrounding with decent precision. How can you tell the ancient proto-bat or shrew cannot do that?
"That's not how I understand the word, therefore the science is wrong." There is no limit to the arrogance of the ignorant. Exactly analogous to the Deepak Chopak (or however he spells his name, he's not worth my time to look it up).
Wavy Davey almost told the truth, by mistake, at the end when he said "the point of all these lessons is not to win arguments, it's to be able to reach people for Jesus Christ". In other words, what he teaches is not science and not even fact, it is faith. So why doesn't he just admit that? Because lying to Children, in order to brainwash them into his religion, is his whole purpose.
You mean like evolutionists force their religion to be taught in schools with tax payers money and lying to kids that the evolution religion actually has evidence for it when it doesn’t. But when kids get indoctrinated for years in schools they’re going to end up thinking that evolution actually does have evidence when it don’t.
32:28 - Damn, Genesis Apologetics can't even Quotemine right. They only highlight the things that they were trying to quotemine, and then left in everything they weren't trying to quotemine. Then they put a red circle around the word "impossible", hoping that their audience would then be unable to read the sentence *immediately* before it, and which it is a part of.
Dave: "We can't see macro-evolution at work."
Also Dave: "We can see macro-evolution in the differences we've bred into dogs."
Dave: “Darwinian evolution doesn’t work.”

Also: "Variation among populations across long periods of time is a thing, but macro evolution isn't."
And let's not forget: "New traits emerging from existing traits is magic, but my imaginary friend poofing literally everything into existence from literally nothing is science."

Because their's is not science. It's a lie which can only be defended by lies, thus their only accepted form of copping with science which washes the floor with their arcane religious mythology is via propaganda, conspiracy theories and deliberate lies. The only thing Abrahamic creationism gave us is anti-vaxxers, flat earthers geocentrists and so on.
Not to mention collecting the prizes, accolades, grants, cash, fame and almost instant conversion of millions, or billions, of people to their religion. All of which would occur if they could either prove their side, or disprove current scientific explanations...

As Paul said in 1 Corinthians 9:20-23:
‘To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law; 21to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law. 22To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some. 23I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.’

The chances of something that has happened are not infinitesimal but rather if something happened the chances are 100% because the something happened.
@@stevenleonard7219
That's not how probabilities work.
The chances of rolling a 6 on a standard dice, is 1 in 6. Even if you have just rolled a 6, the chance of doing that was 1 in 6, and the chances of it happening next roll is also 1 in 6.
All the other numbers also have a 1 in 6 chance, but it will always roll a number between 1 and 6 - EG: you won't ever get a zero or 11.
So if something has a chance of happening, it will eventually happen - no matter what the odds.
If something is impossible, it will never happen.

Let's be honest, that thing is a few billion years of biochemistry playing self-organizing 3D puzzles, even the experts are barely scratching the surface of what can be known about it (at least if we are interested in the very fine details. The broad strokes are at least reasonably known, I reckon).

Great video. As humans who live just a few decades, we have no respect for the time scales needed to develop something like a bat. We are bewildered by something so different from us and think that we must have sprung full blown from the hand of a supernatural being. If bats didn't evolve from smaller flightless mammals, where did they come from? This thinking reflects someone who absolutely refutes the ability of life to find a way and needs to explain everything with magical thinking.
I don't remember who said it but he described human brains as, ‘medium-sized creatures living in a medium-sized world moving at medium speeds and existing for a medium amount of time’.
To get a human to understand something as big as a solar system or as small as a bacteria takes some bit of imagination because our brains evolved to survive in that medium world filled with things moving at medium speeds.
Dawkins described it as living in "Middle Earth".
@@Lobsterwithinternet
Another big impediment of the human brain is that it evolved in a world fraught with danger.
Pascal's wager was and is a given, as in what if that moving grass is a sabre toothed cat?
Thus we evolved as reactionary beings by nature, and it's going to take more time to "outgrow" these traits.

"Remember this guy, the arctic fox?" Well, yeah, I do. But that's not him. That's a coyote. Or maybe a roadrunner in a coyote costume. They do surprisingly good cosplay.
And that half shrew, half bat thing... I literally face-palmed when he said that. They were gliders. Like flying squirrels. Also, have you ever seen a vampire bat run? They can move along quite well on the ground.
While roadrunners are great at cosplaying coyotes, they always give themselves away. While a coyote, or a small group of them, can make a frightening noise that sounds like there are many more of them, roadrunners can only say “meep meep!”
So if your devil dog “meeps” at you, you know you have an imposter.
@@dr.floridamanphd ...or when the "coyote" suddenly stops and picks at free bird seed, they always do :-)
The funny thing is that while the Coyote seems to run on some sort of Clockwork (what a silly attempt to implore the "blind watchmaker") they show two correct photos of the Arctic Fox, making it even MORE obvious that the first one wasn't a fox...
But as for the clockwork, maybe they really do not understand that biological cells do not work ANYTHING close to mechanical machines? That would explain so much of the gullibility overload that is apologetical arguments for Rocks, Trees and animals all being "designed".

@Joe Andersen Instead of copying and pasting your blather, please explain how Jesus claimed to be descended from David, through his Father, Joseph, when Joseph wasn't his Father? Jesus was lying either about his virgin birth or of being descended from David. They are mutually exclusive claims.
@Joe Andersen So neither God or Joseph are his Father? It is some guy named the Holy Spirit? That Jesus guy really told some whoppers. Oh wait, just read your "answer" again, are you saying that Jesus' Father was actually his Mother's brother? No wonder he preferred claiming God, Joseph, and this Holy Spirit guy as his Father.
@Joe Andersen So the Sinless Jesus lied?? I guess that is what you mean, since you failed to think.
Wait, is this guy's argument "this is complicated and I don't understand, therefore evolution is wrong?" Cuz wow.
Right, also religion takes no effort, intelligence, time or thought to believe. In fact it discourages all those things. Just stop thinking and blindly accept what's in this book. The exact opposite of science which takes time, effort, intelligence and thought and encourages those things.

They even misrepresented their self-driving car analogy by implying that it uses their 'Continuous Environmental Tracking'.
That is not a phrase used anywhere in the field of autonomous vehicles. It does somewhat describe the operation of the sensor suite, but is just a word-salad of their own device.
There is no single buzzword for the process described, you could call it what you like and each operator tends to have their own terminology.
I spent 6 years at Volvo IT working with Computer Vision for autonomous vehicles. I never encountered the term. I can find zero non-creationist references to CET in literature. Not from Volvo, not from Waymo/Google
It rather makes the example redundant, just piggybacking on new tech to appear uptodate.
He then proceeds to posit that animals work like computers with his repeating set of steps, its just all over the shop. Yes, if you asked me to create a fox whose coat changes colour seasonally, that is how I would lmplement that as a software engineer. But that is massively irrelevant since he is supposed to be discussing biology. Maybe it was an attempt to imply Intelligent Design, which is indeed what you get if i write the robofox software.
I suspect one of their engineers had their hand on the wheel for that part of the script
There's some heavy duty religious trolling in the comments.
I wouldn't call creationists stupid, but put them in one of three categories instead.
- uninformed, when they have no idea what they're talking about
- ignorant, when they were informed about their mistakes and dismiss the information
- dishonest, when they decide to tell their demonstrably wrong ideas to others in order to sway them to their side
Each of those stages are more difficult to recover from.

So luckily, he sees a car heading his way. And, realizing this might be his only chance to get the car to stop and get hi away from the wild dogs, he throws his arms up in the air to be as big as possible and stands out waving at the car in his big woolly sweater with his long hair and fu manchu.
The car veers away and speeds off.
Some time later, Aron is in town, made it past the dogs, and he gets a warning about walking alone on the back roads like that, especially given that they'd just had a Bigfoot siting earlier that night.

Something interesting to know is that there is a split in YEC, there is a group that believes that there were just a few "kinds" in the arc that hyper evolved into all species that currently exist and there is another one that doesn't accept this hyper-evolution, but believes in that "environmental awareness" mentioned by Dave.

Personally the idea of animals being reduced to the same level as a self driving car (which you can, ironically, stop with a salt circle) is just insulting to animals. If you've ever had the joy of living with a dog, cat, or obnoxious feathery dinosaur, you know they absolutely have feelings; favorite things, dislikes, desires, opinions, and complex relationships with others, just like humans do. They even have some grasp of dishonesty; dogs can learn to fake a limp for treats and affection. At least when dogs are dishonest, their motives are pretty transparent.
Oh good! More Cowabunga Dave. This is gonna be fun
Thank you Aron for keeping up the fight against Iron Age ignorance.
When do creationists even think the ice age was?
19:05 - Myriad unique forms, like Bubo the golden owl. Family friend Pat Roach, played Hephaestus the God who made the owl in the original Clash of the Titans!
Love this series!
No, he demands you to show him something that is 50 % identical with a modern Shrew and 50 % identical with a modern bat. Basically demanding you glue half of one ontop of half of the other, and then asserting such a creature could not exist.
Big wave Dave just got a Tsunami over his shit show.
Also, to shatter Dave's world a bit more, vampire bats are capable of running.
Well at least this video presented an argument for creation that I had never heard before. Too bad for them that it is still wrong. Enjoyed hearing Jackson's take on it all.
35:27 How do you know it was not capable of echolocation? It may not be capable of as effective echolocation, but where do you draw the line for being capable of echolocation? Most people can tell by the echo if they are in an empty room, open space, huge cavern or room full of furniture... Some people, especially blind ones, can echolocate to a certain degree and click tongue and describe their surrounding with decent precision. How can you tell the ancient proto-bat or shrew cannot do that?
do you put in the cheech and chong reference on on dave's TV?
Creationists have a good title as they "create" stories and quote-unquote "facts" LOL.
Thank you Aron
Aron, a sincere thank you once again for your work
YOU ROCK!
"That's not how I understand the word, therefore the science is wrong." There is no limit to the arrogance of the ignorant. Exactly analogous to the Deepak Chopak (or however he spells his name, he's not worth my time to look it up).
It’s worth noting the original videos ALWAYS have comments turned off… I wonder why
Always notice how every Creationist video on UA-cam has the comments turned off?
did anybody else keep rewinding the Dave's Not Here part?
Wavy Davey almost told the truth, by mistake, at the end when he said "the point of all these lessons is not to win arguments, it's to be able to reach people for Jesus Christ". In other words, what he teaches is not science and not even fact, it is faith. So why doesn't he just admit that? Because lying to Children, in order to brainwash them into his religion, is his whole purpose.
You mean like evolutionists force their religion to be taught in schools with tax payers money and lying to kids that the evolution religion actually has evidence for it when it doesn’t. But when kids get indoctrinated for years in schools they’re going to end up thinking that evolution actually does have evidence when it don’t.
32:28 - Damn, Genesis Apologetics can't even Quotemine right. They only highlight the things that they were trying to quotemine, and then left in everything they weren't trying to quotemine. Then they put a red circle around the word "impossible", hoping that their audience would then be unable to read the sentence *immediately* before it, and which it is a part of.
