A Ray Comfort book is a good argument for unintelligent design.
Ray Cumfart.
Also a good way to shave off a few IQ points. Which is probably intentional. Ray doesn't do well among people with more than a couple of brain cells to rub together.
@@paris466 or the ability to think rationally
I didn't see the 'un' and every cell in my body went into losing-hope-in-humanity mode
@@paris466 Good point! If it were some political issue or other debate where the solution might go either way, you'd expect a similar split in opinion between educated people and dumb people. But belief in creation sharply DROPS the more educated a person is, and usually you want a country to be led by the best possible people. So this Creationist belief becomes suspect on its demographics alone.
anyone citing ray comfort as a source on science data is immediately dismissable from adult conversations.

"There's 250 million letters in your book, could that just come from nothing?" Given like 3.5-4 billion years to accumulate, I'm surprised there isn't MORE letters in the book. They talk like evolution is like Pokemon, the big bang happened, and then everything that is currently existent sprung forward exactly how it is now. They simply cannot wrap their minds around exactly how LONG it took for things to get this far.
People underestimate big numbers in general.
256bit key (If we magically converted all energy of the sun with the efficiency of the latest technology into computation it would not be enough to crack it)
strength of a thousand men (just me times 1000 would already result in lots of "world of cardboard" situations)
car speed (almost all accidents can be traced back to "someone did something very stupid" and if all of them where reported on TV we would need a few extra channels just for the national level)
@@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece Exactly, creationists be like "I can't imagine such big numbers, therefore, the age of the Earth/evolution timeline/etc. isn't real".
Small brain syndrome is what i call it. It is hard to picture how large earth is for a lot of people, I still struggle even when messing around with Google maps. I even photoshoped a circle before to help me in my daily graphic art life, I make a circle where every pixel is 1 mile on earth and its just crazy how many thousands of miles it takes to make up earth. Even on the individual pixel per mile scale, the tallest building is just a tiny fraction of 1 of those small pixels.
Something that helped me really get a scale for earths size was a road trip from Oklahoma to LA. This trip felt like we was never going to get there, its a little over a day of driving. I compared that length on Google earth, and I barely scratched the surface of this massive planet.
Above all, they ignore the massive number of constraints forced upon particles by conservation laws, quantum mechanic, general relativity in the form of differential equations.
To be fair, they think the Earth and entire universe is only around 6000 years old. Obviously in reality a grand total of fuck all noticeable evolution happens in that kind of time scale. Unfortunately most of them are so entrenched in the young Earth idea that they just reject everything outside of it. All we can really do is to attempt to sow they seed of doubt in their minds and if we succeed we can gently pull them back to reality. Of course they're also conditioned to believe that's exactly how the devil works so yeah...
I DoN't uNDerStaND DnA, tHeRe FoR gOd.
Pretty much all of this Creationist argument.
I call "I don't understand X, therefore you are wrong" the flat earther argument.
Yep
I don't understand nature and why my crop failed, therefore gods, demons and curses and my neighbor must burn at the stake.
I'm embarrassed to look at myself in a mirror because I don't have the rugged good looks and perfect bone structure of Professor Stick.
You can't spend centuries denying science and then decide overnight you want to use science to prove your god.
You can, if you are creationists :-)
And they did it so it is completelly possible to do :-)
@@nalim27 You're right. I guess they evidently can do that.
Sure, they can! I mean, they look stupid doing so, but they're still allowed to. 😹
When I look at myself in the mirror I believe...that it's time for a haircut.

Opposite for me. I shaved after a year and regret everything
But your wearing a helmet? so how would you know if you need a hair cut then?
@@coldboltlighting1237 Uh I take it off. Lol.
@@mando9364 hmmm maybe
Wow. He drops Ray Comfort as a scientific source, then shows one of Ken Ham's AIG Answers books? You know, the books responsible for Paulogia being an atheist?
Up to the last time he handled him, Viced Rhino was under the impression, this guy is one of Hovind's school of non-thinking.
Now it seems he's collecting from all over the place ... just wait for him to get settled with some followers ... Waco anybody?
"DNA as an information system is as basic as it gets" ... but ... it's an acid. It's right there in the name!
Get out.
Not bad :)
iswydt ;)
DNA was impressive.... and then i went to University to study biotechnology
It's still impressive, but doesn't mean anything about the existence of a god.
So Jebus can write our DNA book, but he had to mortal men to write the bibblé.
Yeah, a nice shiny book with no typos and no possibility of a paper-cut would have been an impressive book that leaves no doubt that there is a Jebus.
When your references come from Ray Comfort, you have already lost the argument.
If Ray Comfort told me water was wet I would question it!
I would feel a moral obligation to find out for myself.
lmaooo true
When DNA is evidence of God. Then the length of the genome would be an indication of which form of life God cares more about. The world record holder is The adder’s tongue fern with 1262 chromosomes (human have 42). therefore it would be more likely that if God built something in his image it would be the fern.
God is a fern CONFIRMED. All Praise the Almighty Fern God.
Oh, so it wasn't any burning bush Moses saw, it was a burning fern!
@@DiscipleOfHeavyMeta1
Plants for the Plant Throne, fern for the Fern God!
They know they are lying. They are deliberately trying to obfuscate the topic to make it look ridiculous, confusing and unfounded. Make no mistake, the "professional" creationists don't care about truth, honesty or science. They want too sell you their books, videos and seminars and to do that, they manipulate and lie. That's about it
Humans actually have 46 chromosomes
Re: the question of if a book can make new books, the answer is no. But a book *can* contain instructions to build a printing press. People with access to the right resources can build that printing press then use it to make copies of the book. That's why DNA alone doesn't make something alive; there needs to be biochemical machines in place to read and implement the DNA and make copies of it.
😂The onion thing, fascinating creations, indeed! I love them as caramelized dices or rings. Isn't the onion THE symbol for CREATION itself?! Sweet and savoury and pungent at the same time, the layered structure, the singularity, the potential to bear a new plant. I bow before thee in awe.
How about cakes though? Everyone loves cakes. Or a parfait?
The Adder's Tongue Fern has 1,440 chromosomes...
@@Dracopol I think I need to try a new diet(y).
Why didn't you just say that his first premise about DNA is an argument from incredulity? I am still amazed how many people still use that argument and not see that problem with it.
They don't know what incredulity means so it won't work on them
i cant imagine your argument makes sense, so its disproven! checkmate!
It's the argument from John Cleese pointing out stupid people don't understand how truly stupid they are.
@@UlshaRS I don't think I know that one. Is it a Monty Python thing, or from something else? I would love to hear this one.
4:10 Every time I hear someone say "Impossible" I usually dismiss that person while pretending partial interest. 😁
Just because you don't know, or cannot imagine other explanations doesn't mean it's impossible, after all, with so much stuff that we don't know we don't know, there's room to explore.👍
Absolutely. These morons are reminiscent of the fools who said man will never fly. About early aeronautics prior to the Wright brothers.
I was about to argue back about just using the word, but you know, you're right! Somebody worth listening to is at least likely to describe what _kind_ of "impossible" something is. Saying e.g. something is self-contradictory or that it doesn't add up. I for one wouldn't stop at "impossible", basically any time I use that word it's that it _seems_ impossible and I'm prompting the other person to continue explaining why it isn't
@@emdivine 👍
@Steve McQ have you tried imagining them having said "inconceivable!" instead of "impossible!" ? ;-)
@@irrelevant_noob Well, "Inconceivable" certainly beats "impossibru" 😁
Huh, I see Satan in the mirror if I try hard enough.
Hail Satan!
Ave Satana
@@PirateAgonistes I thought of the woodland critters from South Park when you said that
"Oh look at DNA. It's so complex, it's impossible to happen by chance. Therefore God done did it!"
They can't help but strawman, can they? Nobody says DNA wrote itself from nothing.
Ahhh - the prophecies of Jesus - none of which can be confirmed as actually having happened independently of the writers' knowledge of the purported "prophecy."
It's impossible to rule out that the writer didn't create the stories based on their knowledge of the OT, rather than the OT prophetically predicting what Jesus would do and what would happen to him, not to mention whether he tried to make himself be the fulfilment of prophecy by acting as the texts described.
That's a video all on its own to be sure.
I told exactly that to a young woman, a Jehova's witness having come with an older woman, when I had asked her for her most compelling argument for the existence of Jesus and she said "the 300 prophecies".
In my memory she just stared at me, and the other woman grabbed her and ushered her to a hurried retreat. I had the impression I had made an impression and it was now time to do a new reprogramming of the young one.
Do we even have plausible evidence the guy existed?
@@feedingravens I haven't seen any christian at my door for years ... maybe it was because of that one time I opened with my hair in front of my face and growling soemthing about blood sacrifice ...

Biologist 1: "you got that tube of DNA anywhere?"
Biologist 2: "D-what?"
Biologist 1: "you know, the instruction book for life"
Biologist 2: "oh yeah! Why didn't you just say that to begin with?"
"Your DNA, and even that of animals..."
Sigh... we ARE animals... DNA doesn't work differently for non-human life...
Belief in God leads to circular reasoning.
And circular reasoning leads to belief in god.
Or worse but very little actual reasoning
DNA is arcane magic.... until you go to college and study the damn thing and find out its as complicated as cereal
stick don't look at me like that
I've always found the analogy of computer code or an instruction book to be misleading. For both of those it is important that everything is very precise and in a very specific order. If you swapped two chapters of a book then it no longer makes any sense, but if you swapped the position of two genes it would still be fine. Each gene is more or less a self contained thing, so if one small thing changes it doesn't break everything (unless it removes/adds a nucleotide rather than changing it).
I love complexity arguments. If I throw a hand grenade into a junk yard, I can create enormous complexity. It won’t be very well organised, but it will be highly complex.
Love and respect from a fellow bioinformatician!!!
i love the book analogy - imagine a book made of four letters only. i couldnt even think of a sentence made of four letters.
There was something about four letter words though. :P
Take someone who's fully illiterate and never saw modern technology and put it in front of a computer and tell him all what the computer can do, explain him how it make billions of calculations per seconds in billions of transitors and whatever he need to be explained to fully grasp how a computer work but without ever explaining him the history of computers and how it was created, nor the full supply chain behind it.
HE WILL NEVER BELIEVE THAT A COMPUTER WAS CREATED BY A HUMAN.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Arthur C Clarke
i think its the exact opposite.
if someone is fully illiterate, you can tell him anything is created by anyone, he has a huge change of believing you.
for example, you can tell him that human created the sun, build the moon,
you can tell him the earth is flat, and the world is ruled by lizardmen.
you can tell him that there is a flying spaghetti god,
he will believe even without proof.
mere computer is just way too easy.
@@nogarder you don't understand my point, I'm not talking about lying to the guy, I'm talking about showing something REAL and very very complex and obfuscate the long origins of it.
The goal is to show that an apparently impossible device so complex to build is actually looking very feasible once you learn how it became to be.
AND HE WILL BE RIGHT. BECAUSE there is not exist human who can create modern computer. Modern computer was created by many humans over few decades. Not by human.
@@TommyCrosby i think it's a 3 part development.
when someone knows very little, everything seems quite possible with enough effort.
after gaining some knowledges, he/she would find out that a lot of things are just impossible.
but when learned more, he/she would know that some of those seems impossible are actually possible.
kinda like Dunning-Kruger curve.
so to have someone believe that computer can not be made by the human race,
he must know some basic stuffs about design and manufacture process, but not too much.
Ok, so today I learned that the phrase "Ray Comfort explains it..." causes me to break out in uncontrollable giggling.
Every time I repeat the phrase in my head, laughter follows.
You could have just said he quotes Ray Comfort and ended it there. 🐯
I love this argument. Comparing DNA to language to prove it couldn’t have come from nothing, despite language literally coming from nothing.
yep, humans just started randomly adding more sounds to other sounds and arbitrarily agreeing they meant something
Of course! I knew there was something special about onions that would make them taste so good.
They taste good? We know the same onions?
@@TheBluePhoenix008 Blasphemer! How dare you doubt the deliciousness of onions. You know they taste great in your heart but you just want to sin by not eating them.
@@gwahli9620
Some people though interpret the onion as more than its raw, unskinned state. Some want to peel away the layers of intricacy and dissect it. Others take a huge cleaver to the onion and dice it up until it hardly resembles what it was in the first place, mixing it with other ingredients.
Can we live in such a world if the true state of the onion is mangled like that?
4:45 ish - Did you know that vinegar has to know how to read baking soda in order to volcano? WHOOOOAAAAAHHHHH
Don't look at me with that tone of voice Sticky 😑😏

"Intelligent Design" Where you will die as long as you can exhale the CO2 and your "Design" won't tell you about the lack of Oxygen...You will just drift off. That's some really Intelligent design right there.
Gotta love that the majority of this guy's video is the arguement from large numbers.

Arguments from incredulity are never impressive, but this guy managed to be somehow worse.

@@baileyjerman5573 yeah that's pretty accurate
@@baileyjerman5573 except not every group has a holy book that tells them to do that

Ignorance of DNA is truly staggering. I once met a man who believed all your memories are encoded in your DNA.
I always find it funny when people seem to think that something is impossible because it was highly improbable to predict. Winning the lottery is highly unlikely. Winning every lottery drawing for the past year is that much more unlikely. Nonetheless, there were winning numbers for each of those drawings and no matter how unlikely the outcome, those numbers were drawn in that order.
He went to Ray Comfort?
And followed up with the Bible?
Well, it is more honest than quote mining Darwin.
Ray Comfort's banana meets Professor Stick's onion.
Chromosomes were discovered in the 1800s and by 1880 were recognized as the vector of heredity (see Wikipedia on chromosomes.) The elucidation of their composition as DNA and the structure of that molecule came much later.
A simple question: how simple DNA must be in order for it not to appear as created by god?
And since regardless of the complexity and structure creationists would still assume that it's created, the argument is meaningless.
The problem with all of this is that they forget that it is lots of "baby steps" over millions and millions of years, it isn't something that happened over the course of a day or year.
When you think about the amount of copy/paste errors, duplications and mutations, it's very hard to call DNA a good information system.
Claim: "It would be impossible for something as complex as the universe and nature to form by accident."
Answer: "Yet here we are."
Our existence is proof that it does happen.
I looked in the mirror apparently I’m a vampire, all I could see was my father, and I didn’t even know know he was in the room..
My favority part of this whole video is when the god banger did the “blows my mind” gesture and sound effect.
Cause encountering something that blows your mind is CLEARLY evidence for the christian god.
The silent slow pan in made me spit my coffee.
I like these more funny edits when they thrown in here and there like 0:45. Makes those videos a little bit more light weight! Keep on the great work
It never fails to amuse me how these clownationists try to project their self-importance into anything positive like they were a part of it, such as right from the start he states that WE discovered DNA and this "I am' belligerence carries on throughout.
How come they don't accept that we are not special ? That we are in fact just the last survivors of our species. The only ones to make it this far.
Oh shit personal incredulity well I'm fucking convinced 👍
I had no idea your degree was in bioinformatics! I’m working on a PhD in bioinformatics right now. Dope.
The onions more complex because of it's parody news status.
I looked in the mirror and I believe....
In myself, not god.
I was pretty sure he had a single digit IQ before he proved it by quoting Ray Comfort.
The odds of Professor Stick starting the video with the exact phrase that was just explained to me by Tom Scott, in the video I watched right before this one ...
That book he's waving about is by Ken (Grifter) Ham.
as someone with a chronic illness, i ask questions like you asked at the end a lot. 90% of the time, im told its satans fault somehow or "god works in mysterious ways". the other 10% dont answer at all.
its very frustrating because usually, "its satans fault" directly translates into "its *your* fault". im not christian enough or whatever, so im basically being punished.... with a disease i was born with?
my chronic illness is the main reason im atheist. at least, it was the catalyst for me looking into the questions id had my whole life about religion. no loving god would put a child through what ive been through- especially not in a world where people would blame ME in its name. thats cruel and unusual punishment for a crime I'm not even aware of.
Looked at myself in the mirror and didn't see anything intelligent. Still not a believer.
"onions have 5x the dna" yes.. yes.. fear our onion overlords. They will soon uproot and walk the earth, and prepare us in variety of ways in their own delicious foods.
Tbh though I had no idea that food even has dna
Ah yes, the good old "me am dumb so smart sky daddy"
I feel confident in saying that the Lord of the Rings trilogy has more letters in it 😅
Sounds like that guy is saying, "I don't have the intelligence and aptitude to understand science 💯%, so god."
i suddenly realize a huge problem.
if he believes so deeply that god made human perfect, it could lead to one terrible conclusion: those who are not perfect by his standard, are just not human.
or to extend, by his definition, those who don't believe in THE god he believes, are essentially not human.
this is very dangerous.
Well, something similar happened at wwII, where Nazis believed that other nations and races (especially the jews) are less than a human. The consequences certainly weren´t pretty.
@@veronikamajerova4564 that's total madness.
Thankfully, he's got the charisma of a moldy sponge, so he probably can't do _too_ much damage.
He didn't reference Comfort's book, did he?
Dismissed!!
Complexity is the very opposite of an indication of design. Ask any competent engineer, and s/he will tell you that things are designed to be as SIMPLE as possible to perform the desired function.
There are 100 billion rocks in Earth. It's impossible to have just appeared from nothing. Obvious evidence God is a troll.
Thre ius God. God is something. But something can't be created from nothing ... so God do not exists.
Screw the onion, don't coastal redwoods have 7 copies of each chromosome?
To paraphrase George Carlin: This is not the work of an all-powerful god, but of an office temp with a bad attitude.
"I am a temp but I deserve a permanent job. After all, my Ph.D. was in the Feminist Ecology of Airborne Molluscs..."
Creationists.... Yikes
I honestly don’t understand how people believe in a god. The lack of proof is just so big that it makes my head hurt every time I talk to a creationist
Thanks for the video :)
As if banana-man in a good source to cite on DNA.
Let's give Rosalind Franklin much needed recognition into the study of DNA.
Indeed, the woman deserves a lot of credit.
It sounded like he said "It is impossible just to have a beard from nothing."
To all not so smart people that still use the “argument from complexity” as a proof of their specific god:
1) Is your god more complex than the things he created?
If yes - then he has to have a creator because he’s “too complex to not have an intelligent creator”
If no - then you admit that more complex things could be created by less complex things - therefore you cannot actually deny that evolution happens! Also this means your god could not be intelligent as intellect is a property that demands complexity way above something like a stone has but your creator is less complex than a stone by your own admission!
2) Even if I agree with you that everything was created by a deity of some sort - that none specific deity is still way far from your particular “personal” God! You still have a lot of work to do to actually convince me that it is indeed your god!
So one day I was talking with a medical friend of mine about the health system we have, (political opinion left out) and the design of the human body. This friend of mine said you are an engineer, how would you design the human body. I thought about it and said 'I would have to think about the over all aspect of the way the systems inter act to make an informed decision.' To this some other person there said 'no human engineer could out preform gods work!' I looked at this person, and said why are you here at this medical center? 'Cancer treatment, why?' I smiled and looked at my friend and said what a great way to destroy a human life by a god.' we left. Peace
3:30 -- all the questions as to why DNA has copying errors and such can be easily waved away by a Christian with the simple answer, "Because of the sin of Adam and Eve. It was perfect but became imperfect after they sinned."
Of course, the whole book comparison serves two purposes: 1. To toss in big numbers and imagery to make it seem complex and amazing, and 2. To draw a direct connection to something we know is created by minds to make the jump to DNA being created by a mind.
yeah, but they usually dont use the sin argument much because it can easily refuted with gods omnipotence. i think they more often argue that its the will of god to test people in his endless wisdom, like being specially chosen to suffer for a good place in heaven.
You can confound the Christians with this poser, "But how DOES sin change physical objects like DNA sequences. Can it happen again? I mean, people are sinning all the time and they don't get more deformed like the Cronenbergs from Rick & Morty. So what exactly are the rules of this new Sin Mutation Science?"
@@Dracopol -- there are umpteen articles online from different Christian groups that teach the whole "sin is in the genes" idea. Since no one has a sample of what Adam's untainted DNA was, no one can say what changes occurred after the Fall. So all we have now is the 'corrupted' DNA within all humans that leads us to sin. It doesn't have to change every time a person sins. It already has the sin nature, as is, that leads us to sin. It is naturally passed on to our children in the DNA. And no one can get rid of it unless they are 'saved' and die, then are reborn in a new body without the corrupted DNA.
Just to clarify. I don't believe any of that. Just passing on what they teach as a friendly FYI.
@@Kevin_Williamson Thanks for telling me you don't believe it because it is a FRIGHTENINGLY seductive philosophy! :-)
I wasn't convinced when I was a Christian and I'm certainly not now. Oh man he just cited Ray Fucking Comfort. Wow.
Rather than leading me to gawd, looking in the mirror makes me think, "Fuck me! Is this thing accurate?"
He must get his small mind "blown" all the time! and to quote a "genius" like Ray Comfort?! HAHAHA
I feel like calling DNA “the instruction book for life” is only valid if you’re trying to teach middle schoolers the most basic of introductions of genetics. I may be wrong, but try this analogy: the bumps and holes on a hill are a complex instruction book, telling a ball exactly how to roll down the hill
6:52 actually God drinks a lot and is known to work while drunk.
It was the force! Because.... THE FORCE!
I hate people like this. They speak as an authority on a subject they know nothing about
God so carefully made me in the womb he forgot to turn my heart on and I spent 8 days ICU 🥰
The funny thing is that the Bible, is a book that with every reproduction changes and grows and lessens to fit the respective believer's point of view so the Bible in a way disproves his point. HI-LA-RI-OUS
Also let us bow down to the HIGHER BEING: The Marble Lungfish that has 44 time more DNA than us so it must surely be more complex and higher and more advanced than us 😛
Fuck me, if someone is stooping to the level of quoting Ray Comfort to support their argument, you know they've got nothing.
On the book thing.
We literally have books written by AI which mostly (not always of course) make sense.
Grammarly does more than just find errors... it creates new ones
The claim that the universe is fine tuned for humanity potentially implies that it is fine tuned to maximize human suffering.
you can't talk about DNA and completely ignore the fact that DNA comparison is literally the best evidence of evolution!
Of course you can do that. It's stupid, but that never stopped them.
