It’s also noteworthy that if indeed the Sun & Moon actually “stood still” from a human perspective, that surely would have been an EXTRAORDINARY EVENT that would have affected the ENTIRE EARTH’s population, and yet no record of such a bizarre phenomenon is recorded by any other civilization that I know of.
@@fredhammer98340 It literally says that they stopped the sun and moon so they could have an extra day meaning if the sun did stop spinning then they won't have an extra day because the sun stopped not the earth so the only way for the sun to stop and give extra day on earth is if they thought the sun orbited the earth(Ignoring the fact that if the sun ever stopped orbiting the milky way galaxy the solar system would be fkd entirely because the sun's motion when orbiting the galaxy helps balance the stability of the solar system)
@@fredhammer98340 I think his sun stopping logic is not good.. because if they claim itya miracle then there is no problem with them . And second is earth can be stationary relatively to earth .
@@xS146roar The only miracle is that for most of the bible claims there is no fucking evidence outside of it. As if god decided fuck evidence, I will act as grand as possible and then only let 1 or 2 people see it.
@@kevinjensen2071 So let's look at kjv, joshua 10: "14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel.""

Makes more than clear why faith healing by prayer doesn't work: jahweh's not interested, he's a warlord.
@@peteralleyman1945 - the contradiction is that the Lord listened to King Hezekiah after that verse which said He never listened to man again. The sun going backwards is even more outrageous than it standing still.

Oh my, JWs were taught this and no one questioned the logic of the story. We all drank the koolaid, without batting an eye. We were totally spoon fed, while Watchtower laughed at our gullibility.

Esther, I was born into and raised United Pentecostal and left that weird, sick toxic cult at eighteen years of age.

My parents even followed my example a couple of decades ago and while they are still Christians, they are much happier and better people for having done so. 👍

I recall hearing this Bible tale when I was a 5th grade student in Catholic school. When one student asked the teacher (nun) how God managed to stop the earth's rotation without killing everyone, she replied, "Where is your FAITH!" For my entire studentship in Catholic schools, that was the nuns' favorite dodge for getting out of the onus of providing answers to difficult questions.

In terms of crazy myths, I preferred that time Maui caught the sun and made it slow down, since he did it to help people instead of commit genocide. ;)
Plus Maui died trying to secure immortality for *all mankind*, not just his little in-group, and unlike that other guy, *he stayed dead*. Thanks for this video, Kool-Aid.
Got to remember, telling lie's is OK with God and Jesus as long as it glorifies god and or accomplishes a purpose. Same with killing and all the other commandments.
Don’t forget the part where Jonah cares more about a vine than the people he was tasked with saving. And Yahweh *knew* he would be that selfish, and appointed him *anyway*.

@@HolyKoolaid As you mentioned the rule on "slaughtering homosexuals" in the video, i thought i'd mention something that i have realized: It may actually have been a rule against Male Rape originally, and not against homosexuality. After all, the wording is "man that lies with man as man lies with woman". It is *not* "man that lies with man", implying it would be ok for men to lie with men ... Furthermore, there are quite a few tales and indications on how the old Testament semites treated their women, i mean, at least one version of the Ten Commandments put the wives in the same category as OWNED CATTLE ... and when Lot is hosting a stranger or two that's supposedly angels, and the mob outside wants to ... "know" them (assumably rape them), Lot offers the mob HIS DAUGHTERS? Do i really remember that correct? And then were the case of a man that let his wife get gangbanged, and afterwards he _chopped_her_up_in_pieces_ ...... So, "man lie with woman" was probably *_entirely without consent_* but due to this not actually being spelled out back then, it eventually became interpreted simply as "sticking your dick in" instead, as they had no idea what was originally meant in the law.

Fun fact; Cambridge researchers announced that they have pinpointed the date of the biblical account of Joshua stopping the sun - which they claim is the day of the oldest eclipse ever recorded - to October 30, 1207 BCE, exactly 3,224 years ago. This is from an article written by David Sedley so take a look at it for yourselves: www.timesofisrael.com/3224-years-later-scientists-see-first-ever-recorded-eclipse-in-joshuas-battle/ See most modern English translations, which follow the King James translation of 1611, usually interpret this text to mean that the sun and moon stopped moving,". “But going back to the original Hebrew text, we determined that an alternative meaning could be that the sun and moon just stopped doing what they normally do: they stopped shining." This interpretation is supported by the fact that the Hebrew word translated ‘stand still’ has the same root as a Babylonian word used in ancient astronomical texts to describe eclipses.

@@darkwingduck9704 To be more specific; Eve coming from one of Adam's ribs, Adam being molded from clay, the entire Noah story, parting of the Red Sea. There are a number of events that are completely impossible, even if we give an allowance for poor translations.
@@palladin1337 God used Adam’s rib to form Eve to show that they were actually the same created being, two halves of a whole. The female was not created as a separate being, second to the male. She was formed as part of the initial man, to show the she too was made in the image of God. That said, it seems the issue you have seem to be with the premise of a God, since without God you're right these things are impossible but I find many things which takes place in the bible to be improbable to have even been made known to the ancient civilisations and writers unless God is inserted, for example the the foreknowledge of proper sanitary and hygienic procedures undertaken by the Israelites in the old Testament which people in the late 1800 werent even aware of or the reason behind all the food laws.

The Amorites were probably wearing some kind of armor. Almost all soldiers in the bronze and iron ages would have worn at least helmets if they could get them. Hail almost never kills anyone, but I can guarantee it NEVER killed anyone wearing a piece of metal on their heads. Also the shields they would have probably been using to deflect arrows would have been pretty effective against hailstones too. Even without armor, they would have almost certainly had shields. Even if all they had was a wicker shield (which were used in some places at that time, effective against arrows, but not much else), it would have kept them pretty comfortable in a hailstorm. I guess the Bible authors thought the Amorite soldiers were just naked in the field.

@S Gloobal Let's just take for instance, the 2 most popular lies which people worship. Most of the world's population are either christian or muslim. Christians claim that Jesus is god as part of the holy trinity and that he came to earth and died to save us. Muslims claim that this is preposterous, that christianity has been corrupted by man over the ages (lies) and that Jesus is not a god but was actually a muslim prophet. They both purport to have knowledge of the truth through divine revelations. One god encourages drinking wine, the other forbids it. This is just one example of opposing commands. Jesus can't be a god and not a god. Somebody must be lying. We know by the doctrines that neither could possibly be divine revelations and could only be archaic lies created by primitive men (who only knew the most minuscule fraction of what we know now) to wield power over primitive people. This doesn't take into account all of the other lies people worship and espouse which contradict the 2 most popular ones. The overwhelming majority of the world's population worship, espouse and abide by lies. The world is full of arrogant, ignorant, delusional people and that is why it is so messed up.

We must content ourselves here with the assurance that the hypercritical attitude which previously obtained in respect of the earlier historical traditions of Israel has no longer any justification.

I think that’s referring to God granting someone’s request to extend a day. You want to compare scripture against the rest of scripture before you jump to conclusions. There are tons of scriptures about God answering prayers.
@@blakeavila4409 I think one of the points in the video was: We are quite unsure about anything in the Bible, every detail can be interpreted vastly different because it's a vaguely written book of fiction, non of it really provable or found in other non religious documents Thus, comparing scripture to the scriptures it stands in context with is in case of the Bible comparing previous interpretations to form your next best guess
Little Loner Yeah, that’s a common misconception, that we can’t know what God meant. But we can, by the method I previously mentioned, and by knowing the cultural context of the words. Basically translating it from Hebrew into english, translating Hebrew culture into your culture, and then looking at the rest of the Bible for verification that your meaning is consistent with the whole book

You don't have to have Faith to perpetuate a religion, as much as you have to have a clever knack for convincing people that lies are actually Truth. One thing I will give Christians credit for is this: They are some on _The_ best people at taking something that is obviously none-sense; & making a case for it in a way that convinces people otherwise. That actually is a very powerful skill for one to have. & Christians have mastered it. You know, if you're clever enough you can convince the world that two plus two equals anything but four. That doesn't make it true. It only means that you have power over people. This is why I say that you need not Faith to keep a religion alive, as much as a clever ability to convince people that lies are Truth. With modern Christianity in America, its more about mastering that skill, than it is about having Faith. -& this is _why_ I snicker when I hear the famous Christian phrase, "Well, ya just gotta have Faith!"
"Lord, may I ask you what you are planning to do with the Amorites?" "Not your business, Gabriel, but... I'm thinking about making them drown in their bath tubes." "Divine idea, but..." "But???" "Not invented yet." "Oh, for my sake! This foolish one-directional time I created makes me mad.Then plan B." "I beg your pardon, my lord..." "It is going to be a tough day, Gabriel, get prepared, for HAIL IT IIIS!!!" "Heck, not again... I do hate impossible missions this guy comes out with over and over again."
Its talking about magic. The claim is made that God made it happen, so any physical events that would have occurred were also suspended. Magic isn't real so the story is absurd.
It’s always amazed me since I was a six year old kid, an age that I can remember clearly, how so many can willfully ignore the obvious. But for me it’s not the errors in the bible, but rather the infinite omissions that are the bigger problems.
It took me until age 7 to realize that grown ups actually believe in the crap they tell children. And I always thought they told me those stories so I would finish my plate.
The admission by most mainstream biblical scholars that Adam and Eve never existed, kind of puts a dagger in the whole idea of original sin, and the subsequent need for a savior, doesn’t it?

One of my favorite Bible fails is the Genesis timeline. This would make a great Bible fail video. I've have friends meticulously write out the timeline in Genesis to "prove" the Earth is 13,000 years. Not the 4.5 billion it actually is. I ask them about all the evidence for the real age of 4.5 billion like fossils and geology and they just smile and say you need faith, its what the Bible says it is.
The kind of people you want to meticulously apply all the rubbish in Leviticus to. Deny their asses the right to be buffet Christians and stone them for eating shellfish and mixing cloth fibres.
It's funny, but I never thought that the definition of 'faith' was 'attack science and lie about known facts'. Creationists must use a different dictionary from the rest of us.
@@nromk Well, Bishop Usher calculated it according to all the generations mentioned in the Bible's Old Testament or something like that. That's where the 6000 years old Earth idea comes from. And most creationist, all that I heard of by the way, use that number. And it's of course nonsense
@@alejandrovillalba3143 that number is mentioned nowhere in the Bible, Usher used numerology to get to his conclusion, and like even the Jews believed that the age of the Earth was beyond human understanding and most importantly people shouldn't read the Bible to find out the age of the Earth or the Trinity, they should read it for the same reason they read Harry Potter, to pass the time
This man is clouding your judgement. The Sun orbits the center of the galaxy at the same time the Earth is orbiting the Sun. If the Sun stops moving the daylight is extended and that does not require the Earth to halt. Also angels have always been God’s messengers.
Most the Christians I know wouldn't say your taking it out of context they'd say "that's the Old Testament" and go on to talk about how we shouldn't focus so much on the Old Testament and instead focus on New Testament. I always found that strange how they were so eager to divorce there current version of Christianity from the acts and beliefs presented in the book they claim to study and understand

Nothing Fails Like Bible History - Episode 3 How much power would it take to stop the rotation of the planet Earth?
m = mass of Earth = 5.97E+24 kg r = radius of Earth = 6.37E+06 m ω [omega] = angular velocity of Earth = 1 rev/d = 7.27E-05 rad/s I = moment of inertia = to be determined
I = 0.4mr² I = 0.4(5.97E+24 kg)(6.37E+06 m)² I = 9.70E+37 kg∙m²
KE = rotational kinetic energy of Earth = to be determined
KE = 0.5Iω² KE = 0.5(9.70E+37 kg∙m²)(7.27E-05 rad/s)² KE = 2.56E+29 J
For comparison . . . 5.50E+24 J = total energy from the Sun intercepted by the planet Earth each year 6.00E+25 J = upper limit of energy released by a solar flare 3.80E+26 J = total energy output from the Sun (in all directions) each second 3.80E+28 J = kinetic energy of the Moon 2.56E+29 J = rotational kinetic energy of Earth 3.30E+31 J = total energy output of the Sun each day
The calculated number, 2.56E+29 joules, is the amount of rotational kinetic energy possessed by Earth by virtue of the fact that it turns once a day. Any mechanism to stop Earth's rotation would have cause the planet to lose at least that much ENERGY. Since power is energy per unit of time, how much POWER such as task would require would depend how much time is allowed to do the job. In a nutshell, the more power used, the less time would be required to do the job.
To stop Earth's rotation within 1 day would require 2.97E+24 watts of power.
To stop Earth's rotation within 1 hour would require 7.12E+25 watts of power.
To stop Earth's rotation within 1 minute would require 4.27E+27 watts of power.
To stop Earth's rotation within 1 second would require 2.56E+29 watts of power.
For comparison . . . 5.30E+24 W = estimated power of the "Tsar Bomba" hydrogen bomb detonation 5.50E+25 W = estimated total power output of a Type-II civilization on the Kardashev scale 3.85E+26 W = luminosity of the Sun 3.31E+31 W = approximate luminosity of Beta Centauri 1.23E+32 W = approximate luminosity of Deneb

Again, I like how you ask the questions many religious people aren’t willing to go deep into. I appreciate it. I still like the biblical stories. I’m personally not a fan of the belittling, but I get it. I still believe there is a lot to learn about humanity through the religious text of multiple religions. I enjoy mythology, which is what I now view Christianity as.
I enjoy the stories too (in the same way I enjoyed the Iliad and the Odyssey). My goal isn't to mock the people, but I do laugh at ridiculous ideas sometimes and I can come off as belittling, so that's a fair criticism.
Holy Koolaid I appreciate the response. I hear you. I think there are silly ideas and weird stories in every religion/mythology. The indigenous people where I live believe all sorts of outlandish things but no one mocks them or tells them it’s silly, rather they “respect” it. When it comes to all of these stories I think it’s only really silly when you think it’s real. Seeing it as a story that holds meaning makes it more interesting.

"Without doubt the greatest injury of all was done by basing morals on myth. For, sooner of later, myth is recognized for what it is, and disappears. Then morality loses the foundation on which it has been built." Lord Samuel
OK, so maybe God stopped the spin of the earth (and it's rotation around the sun, presumably?) AND also held the ocean in place, AND held the moon in place, AND fixed the momentum issues with everything/one on the earth's surface, AND magicked away any other issues that come from stopping the earth. ...But if he could do all that, then why not just smite all the Amorites instantly and call it a day?

You are not an archaeologist or researcher or scholar, you are lifting work from others and just regurgitating it on UA-cam, so I wouldn't act so smug and juvenile because academic work changes constantly. What you're saying with so much sarcasm today could be proven wrong tomorrow which is why most professional adults learn to control themselves and not shriek and giggle like children when explaining things they have learned. You are presenting good information, but you seriously need to grow up a little. This will improve your delivery as well as broaden the audience of your channel which, it may surprise you to hear, is more diverse than a group of purple-haired atheist college students which is what you seem to be making your target demographic. Sorry if it came off as harsh, but that's the way real life is. Aside from that, keep working hard and improving.

I think this series is great and I've learned some interesting things but to be fair the reason there is so much wrong in the Bible is not NECESSARILY that there is no God. There may not be, BUT theoretically there could be a God and he/she/they just doesn't choose to dictate the Bible. Humans are therefore writing the Bible over hundreds of years and humans aren't all knowing. So some uneducated guy who doesn't know anything about astronomy writes that the sun and moon stopped and of course they didn't. But it has no bearing on the existence or nonexistence of God or gods. To be clear I am not saying God exists and if you prize the scientific method above other beliefs then you need proof. But I'm just saying this Bible story doesn't weigh into that, one way or another. I always figured most of the old Testament are to teach something like Aesop's fables. Aesop doesn't mean a fox really talked or anything like that. Maybe the writer was just poetically saying that if you have faith in God nothing is impossible.

The amazing thing is that very few Christians do, I thought that it would be compulsory, obviously not.
I guess if they do they see the madness in it.
It’s also noteworthy that if indeed the Sun & Moon actually “stood still” from a human perspective, that surely would have been an EXTRAORDINARY EVENT that would have affected the ENTIRE EARTH’s population, and yet no record of such a bizarre phenomenon is recorded by any other civilization that I know of.
The Sun is orbiting the center of the galaxy. It didn’t say the earth stood still.
@@fredhammer98340 It literally says that they stopped the sun and moon so they could have an extra day meaning if the sun did stop spinning then they won't have an extra day because the sun stopped not the earth so the only way for the sun to stop and give extra day on earth is if they thought the sun orbited the earth(Ignoring the fact that if the sun ever stopped orbiting the milky way galaxy the solar system would be fkd entirely because the sun's motion when orbiting the galaxy helps balance the stability of the solar system)

Also note how none of the civilisations around at the time mention that inexplicable yet very noticeable astronomical event.
Which is why some explain it as a refraction of light, not an eclipse or stoppage of the earth or Sun.

I recall hearing this Bible tale when I was a 5th grade student in Catholic school. When one student asked the teacher (nun) how God managed to stop the earth's rotation without killing everyone, she replied, "Where is your FAITH!" For my entire studentship in Catholic schools, that was the nuns' favorite dodge for getting out of the onus of providing answers to difficult questions.
Yes, like the ability to fly in Peter Pan, they rely on believing for their stories work. If something does not add up, you just lack faith.

As you mentioned the rule on "slaughtering homosexuals" in the video, i thought i'd mention something that i have realized:
It may actually have been a rule against Male Rape originally, and not against homosexuality.
After all, the wording is "man that lies with man as man lies with woman".
It is *not* "man that lies with man", implying it would be ok for men to lie with men ...
Furthermore, there are quite a few tales and indications on how the old Testament semites treated their women, i mean, at least one version of the Ten Commandments put the wives in the same category as OWNED CATTLE ... and when Lot is hosting a stranger or two that's supposedly angels, and the mob outside wants to ... "know" them (assumably rape them), Lot offers the mob HIS DAUGHTERS?
Do i really remember that correct?
And then were the case of a man that let his wife get gangbanged, and afterwards he _chopped_her_up_in_pieces_ ......
So, "man lie with woman" was probably *_entirely without consent_* but due to this not actually being spelled out back then, it eventually became interpreted simply as "sticking your dick in" instead, as they had no idea what was originally meant in the law.
You know, this content makes it even more entertaining when people try to quote religious text as 'evidence' for their beliefs.
Awesome work, man. I hope you can keep doing what you love.
Fun fact; Cambridge researchers announced that they have pinpointed the date of the biblical account of Joshua stopping the sun - which they claim is the day of the oldest eclipse ever recorded - to October 30, 1207 BCE, exactly 3,224 years ago.
This is from an article written by David Sedley so take a look at it for yourselves: www.timesofisrael.com/3224-years-later-scientists-see-first-ever-recorded-eclipse-in-joshuas-battle/
See most modern English translations, which follow the King James translation of 1611, usually interpret this text to mean that the sun and moon stopped moving,". “But going back to the original Hebrew text, we determined that an alternative meaning could be that the sun and moon just stopped doing what they normally do: they stopped shining."
This interpretation is supported by the fact that the Hebrew word translated ‘stand still’ has the same root as a Babylonian word used in ancient astronomical texts to describe eclipses.

@@darkwingduck9704 To be more specific; Eve coming from one of Adam's ribs, Adam being molded from clay, the entire Noah story, parting of the Red Sea. There are a number of events that are completely impossible, even if we give an allowance for poor translations.

That said, it seems the issue you have seem to be with the premise of a God, since without God you're right these things are impossible but I find many things which takes place in the bible to be improbable to have even been made known to the ancient civilisations and writers unless God is inserted, for example the the foreknowledge of proper sanitary and hygienic procedures undertaken by the Israelites in the old Testament which people in the late 1800 werent even aware of or the reason behind all the food laws.

The Amorites were probably wearing some kind of armor. Almost all soldiers in the bronze and iron ages would have worn at least helmets if they could get them. Hail almost never kills anyone, but I can guarantee it NEVER killed anyone wearing a piece of metal on their heads. Also the shields they would have probably been using to deflect arrows would have been pretty effective against hailstones too. Even without armor, they would have almost certainly had shields. Even if all they had was a wicker shield (which were used in some places at that time, effective against arrows, but not much else), it would have kept them pretty comfortable in a hailstorm. I guess the Bible authors thought the Amorite soldiers were just naked in the field.
They could have been naked! You know how those heathens are!(I heard they like to eat puppies for breakfast!)

@S Gloobal Let's just take for instance, the 2 most popular lies which people worship. Most of the world's population are either christian or muslim. Christians claim that Jesus is god as part of the holy trinity and that he came to earth and died to save us. Muslims claim that this is preposterous, that christianity has been corrupted by man over the ages (lies) and that Jesus is not a god but was actually a muslim prophet. They both purport to have knowledge of the truth through divine revelations. One god encourages drinking wine, the other forbids it. This is just one example of opposing commands. Jesus can't be a god and not a god. Somebody must be lying. We know by the doctrines that neither could possibly be divine revelations and could only be archaic lies created by primitive men (who only knew the most minuscule fraction of what we know now) to wield power over primitive people. This doesn't take into account all of the other lies people worship and espouse which contradict the 2 most popular ones. The overwhelming majority of the world's population worship, espouse and abide by lies. The world is full of arrogant, ignorant, delusional people and that is why it is so messed up.

You don't have to have Faith to perpetuate a religion, as much as you have to have a clever knack for convincing people that lies are actually Truth.
One thing I will give Christians credit for is this:
They are some on _The_ best people at taking something that is obviously none-sense; & making a case for it in a way that convinces people otherwise.
That actually is a very powerful skill for one to have. & Christians have mastered it.
You know, if you're clever enough you can convince the world that two plus two equals anything but four.
That doesn't make it true. It only means that you have power over people.
This is why I say that you need not Faith to keep a religion alive, as much as a clever ability to convince people that lies are Truth.
With modern Christianity in America, its more about mastering that skill, than it is about having Faith.
-& this is _why_ I snicker when I hear the famous Christian phrase, "Well, ya just gotta have Faith!"
"Lord, may I ask you what you are planning to do with the Amorites?"
"Not your business, Gabriel, but... I'm thinking about making them drown in their bath tubes."
"Divine idea, but..."
"But???"
"Not invented yet."
"Oh, for my sake! This foolish one-directional time I created makes me mad.Then plan B."
"I beg your pardon, my lord..."
"It is going to be a tough day, Gabriel, get prepared, for HAIL IT IIIS!!!"
"Heck, not again... I do hate impossible missions this guy comes out with over and over again."
what's a bath tube?
@@donlarsenjr2332 A horrible typo.
@@lxathu lol! God bless! J/K
7:50 ...WTF That's kinda scary.
Its talking about magic. The claim is made that God made it happen, so any physical events that would have occurred were also suspended. Magic isn't real so the story is absurd.
WARNING: Jumpscare at 7:51 🙈
It’s always amazed me since I was a six year old kid, an age that I can remember clearly, how so many can willfully ignore the obvious. But for me it’s not the errors in the bible, but rather the infinite omissions that are the bigger problems.
It took me until age 7 to realize that grown ups actually believe in the crap they tell children. And I always thought they told me those stories so I would finish my plate.
The admission by most mainstream biblical scholars that Adam and Eve never existed, kind of puts a dagger in the whole idea of original sin, and the subsequent need for a savior, doesn’t it?
DO THE QURAN NEXT
I like how I'm getting commercials for Christian stuff on this channel lol . They will stop at nothing to push their lies. I'm loving this channel by the way. Keep up the amazing work.
Sun standing still would be a global event. Why isn't there any non-biblical accounts where scholars wondered why the sun is standing still?
Love this series. Look forward to more!
Thanks. :)
There’s a simple and obvious solution, that my Christian friends rattle out when things get too ridiculous: “with God nothing is impossible”. Yep, the perfect smack-down answer when the going gets tough.
Ahhahahahah so true
Does this mean he can make a square triangle?
Literal interpretation of the bible is one of the most destructive things to the faith. Whether religious or not, ignore scientific fact in defense of your faith is stupidity.
Great research. It's funny to think that I used to believe all this, until videos like yours! Thank you!
7:50 Thanks for the nightmares, Mr. Koolaid.
Sorry.

You thought that the movement of the sun was controlled by Gravity, but it was me, DIO!
One of my favorite Bible fails is the Genesis timeline. This would make a great Bible fail video. I've have friends meticulously write out the timeline in Genesis to "prove" the Earth is 13,000 years. Not the 4.5 billion it actually is. I ask them about all the evidence for the real age of 4.5 billion like fossils and geology and they just smile and say you need faith, its what the Bible says it is.
The kind of people you want to meticulously apply all the rubbish in Leviticus to. Deny their asses the right to be buffet Christians and stone them for eating shellfish and mixing cloth fibres.
It's funny, but I never thought that the definition of 'faith' was 'attack science and lie about known facts'.
Creationists must use a different dictionary from the rest of us.
Except the Bible never mentioned the age of the Earth
@@nromk Well, Bishop Usher calculated it according to all the generations mentioned in the Bible's Old Testament or something like that. That's where the 6000 years old Earth idea comes from. And most creationist, all that I heard of by the way, use that number. And it's of course nonsense
@@alejandrovillalba3143 that number is mentioned nowhere in the Bible, Usher used numerology to get to his conclusion, and like even the Jews believed that the age of the Earth was beyond human understanding and most importantly people shouldn't read the Bible to find out the age of the Earth or the Trinity, they should read it for the same reason they read Harry Potter, to pass the time
Did other peoples record this as sounding event? No, because it didn’t happen.
Bible literalism/history: it's true until demonstrated false, then it's metaphorical and you're taking it out of context
This is awesome. I’d take aesop's fables over the bible any day of the week.
What about greek myths?
This man is clouding your judgement. The Sun orbits the center of the galaxy at the same time the Earth is orbiting the Sun. If the Sun stops moving the daylight is extended and that does not require the Earth to halt.
Also angels have always been God’s messengers.
Why is it always a Christian thing and not a Jewish thing? It's a Jewish book.
Trent Horn rebutted this video, and it’s a good one. Everyone that watched this video should check Trent Horns video out.

Thanks a lot bro! 👍🏼
Blake Marb no problem 👍🏽
@@rcwarrior868 And the excuse is magic did it..... LOL
talk about lame.
Most the Christians I know wouldn't say your taking it out of context they'd say "that's the Old Testament" and go on to talk about how we shouldn't focus so much on the Old Testament and instead focus on New Testament. I always found that strange how they were so eager to divorce there current version of Christianity from the acts and beliefs presented in the book they claim to study and understand
Yeah.And Jesus said that if you see him you've "seen the father"(Yahweh).
They forget their Top Ten List of Things not to do are in the OT. So, they wanna stop focusing on it, great. They *need* those rules in order to be good anyway. Fear of their imaginary friend and his BDSM dungeon after death I guess.
@@shriggs55 Jesus is Yahweh, Son of El.
He is the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, the God of Israel.
He is God the Son, the Son of God, who did not come into existence with the birth of His human avatar, but rather existed alongside His Father before the creation of the world.
"Ignore the mean old OT and focus on the sweet loving NT" is bullcrap, the NT is even stricter than the OT and Jesus isn't saving you from His mean old Sky Daddy, Jesus was the mean One all along saving you from _Himself_ while Sky Daddy was minding His own business!
@@autobotstarscream765 Yep!
My first year in high school, we had Religious Instruction. (1 year only.) I kept asking questions, the teacher told me to ignore the OT and just read the NT. I was dumbfounded, I couldn't understand why they would delete half of their book. At the time I didn't realise what an epiphany that moment was, and how it led me to become an atheist.
Also about it being an eclipse.
The dude asked god for more daylight.
So how does an eclipse solve that problem for him?
HEY HEY HEY!!! That’s enough with the logic now. We don’t do that around here.
Excellent work. Love your passion. You deserve more recognition. It will come. It takes time for word to get around. Just stay with quality production.
Love your content! Excellent video, keep up the excellent work!!
Nothing Fails Like Bible History - Episode 3
How much power would it take to stop the rotation
of the planet Earth?
m = mass of Earth = 5.97E+24 kg
r = radius of Earth = 6.37E+06 m
ω [omega] = angular velocity of Earth = 1 rev/d = 7.27E-05 rad/s
I = moment of inertia = to be determined
I = 0.4mr²
I = 0.4(5.97E+24 kg)(6.37E+06 m)²
I = 9.70E+37 kg∙m²
KE = rotational kinetic energy of Earth = to be determined
KE = 0.5Iω²
KE = 0.5(9.70E+37 kg∙m²)(7.27E-05 rad/s)²
KE = 2.56E+29 J
For comparison . . .
5.50E+24 J = total energy from the Sun intercepted by the planet Earth each year
6.00E+25 J = upper limit of energy released by a solar flare
3.80E+26 J = total energy output from the Sun (in all directions) each second
3.80E+28 J = kinetic energy of the Moon
2.56E+29 J = rotational kinetic energy of Earth
3.30E+31 J = total energy output of the Sun each day
The calculated number, 2.56E+29 joules, is the amount of rotational kinetic energy
possessed by Earth by virtue of the fact that it turns once a day. Any mechanism to
stop Earth's rotation would have cause the planet to lose at least that much ENERGY.
Since power is energy per unit of time, how much POWER such as task would require
would depend how much time is allowed to do the job. In a nutshell, the more power used,
the less time would be required to do the job.
To stop Earth's rotation within
1 day would require
2.97E+24 watts of power.
To stop Earth's rotation within
1 hour would require
7.12E+25 watts of power.
To stop Earth's rotation within
1 minute would require
4.27E+27 watts of power.
To stop Earth's rotation within
1 second would require
2.56E+29 watts of power.
For comparison . . .
5.30E+24 W = estimated power of the "Tsar Bomba" hydrogen bomb detonation
5.50E+25 W = estimated total power output of a Type-II civilization on the Kardashev scale
3.85E+26 W = luminosity of the Sun
3.31E+31 W = approximate luminosity of Beta Centauri
1.23E+32 W = approximate luminosity of Deneb
oh come on next you will be trying to tell me humpty dumpty didnt really fall of a wall
This video is an absolute gem.
If the earth 🌍 stopped spinning 😵💫 there would be no centrifugal force. Everything would be crushed by gravity
Maybe they got really high and time seemed to slow down that way?
Getting really high would explain a lot of Bible stories.
I hope one day you have the resources to churn out one of these videos every day, great job and keep up the great work. We need separation of church and state more so now than ever before.
Ah, logic...and reason...and facts...those are foreign concepts to religious types. LOL
These videos are so well done! Keep up the great work!
God, never listens...pretty common for figments of imagination
As my teacher said, god does listen, the problem is when he answers, that means something must be going on in your head.
Again, I like how you ask the questions many religious people aren’t willing to go deep into. I appreciate it. I still like the biblical stories. I’m personally not a fan of the belittling, but I get it. I still believe there is a lot to learn about humanity through the religious text of multiple religions. I enjoy mythology, which is what I now view Christianity as.
I enjoy the stories too (in the same way I enjoyed the Iliad and the Odyssey). My goal isn't to mock the people, but I do laugh at ridiculous ideas sometimes and I can come off as belittling, so that's a fair criticism.
Holy Koolaid I appreciate the response. I hear you. I think there are silly ideas and weird stories in every religion/mythology. The indigenous people where I live believe all sorts of outlandish things but no one mocks them or tells them it’s silly, rather they “respect” it. When it comes to all of these stories I think it’s only really silly when you think it’s real. Seeing it as a story that holds meaning makes it more interesting. Like an art form where the artist is telling us a truth about life while using creative licence to express it.
Thanks for being open and willing l.
@@bigbossignition Yet very many amongst apologists spend Millions (at least) to propagate those myths as literal truths dumbing down large swaths of the population and for the most of them directly promoting and supporting the bid for absolute power of a demented tyrant .
So I believe one should belittle this crap without any compunction whatsoever , and as for those that would argue that the text should be read as metaphorical one should insist they clarify their ethical stances in light of their interpretation of their sacred text and explain how those comport with their actual behavior .
@@claudeghendrih762 Ridicule is our best weapon.
@@bigbossignition hey there hope you're well. Just one question, what meaning do you get from the slaughter and death of hundreds of thousands of people?
Remember "god" made the world, plants/animals etc but didn't create the sun till the 3rd day... so same problem. How were there even days sans the sun?
We would have to ask the "talking snake" LOL
Well considering his son became a zombie and flew up into the sky...bibletard will say God kept them alive till then by his magic
“Just ask holy spirit for his guidance”.
why only pick on Christianity? Don't Jews believe this? What about Islam? What about other non-mideast religions? (I am a non-believer)
"Without doubt the greatest injury of all was done by basing morals on myth. For, sooner of later, myth is recognized for what it is, and disappears. Then morality loses the foundation on which it has been built." Lord Samuel
Look man. Yahweh does what she wants. Total G.
CYCHIATRIC. I appreciate your joke attempt, but YHWH, the Abrahamic god is male
OK, so maybe God stopped the spin of the earth (and it's rotation around the sun, presumably?) AND also held the ocean in place, AND held the moon in place, AND fixed the momentum issues with everything/one on the earth's surface, AND magicked away any other issues that come from stopping the earth.
...But if he could do all that, then why not just smite all the Amorites instantly and call it a day?
FYI: In some languages, "hail" can also be meteorites, which can cause lethal impact. But still, nope, didn't happen.
I can’t wait for more videos on this! I love the facts
FYI
In Quran there is a story of flocks of birds carrying clay stones and dropping them on top of an army from Ethiopia with elephants who marched to destroy Kaba .
So similar story with hails !😮
Keep the real truth coming. Love this series.
This series rocks
Plus… is there a written account BY THE AMMORITES of that battle? (Cricket sounds…)
Thoroughly well done and the visuals were spectacular!
I just found your channel as a recommendation and I’m so glad you exist. Your personal story of de conversion is awesome! I was a lifelong believer and converted 3 years ago.
Glad you found freedom! Just as an aside, have you heard of Seth Andrews and his creation "The Thinking Atheist"? Holy Kool Aid was on his podcast a while back. He is a more serious guy but a lot of heartfelt material goes into his work. He was a christian radio host and a believer well into adulthood. He is also a brilliant guy with a buttery-smooth voice.
I appreciate the research and effort you put into your videos, but you're a little too histrionic for my taste. It's fine to have some energy and humor, even a little sarcasm, in your videos, but you have the personality of a snarky middle-school kid that's learned something he can one-up his teacher with. You are not an archaeologist or researcher or scholar, you are lifting work from others and just regurgitating it on UA-cam, so I wouldn't act so smug and juvenile because academic work changes constantly. What you're saying with so much sarcasm today could be proven wrong tomorrow which is why most professional adults learn to control themselves and not shriek and giggle like children when explaining things they have learned.
You are presenting good information, but you seriously need to grow up a little. This will improve your delivery as well as broaden the audience of your channel which, it may surprise you to hear, is more diverse than a group of purple-haired atheist college students which is what you seem to be making your target demographic. Sorry if it came off as harsh, but that's the way real life is. Aside from that, keep working hard and improving.
This series is awesome, keep up the good work
I got a PragerU v UA-cam ad. This is happening quite a bit lately. To me at least. You, Goddless Cranium, Suris the Skeptic. Am I the only one?
They're putting ads on "religious" videos
It's the algorithm. It doesn't discern whether it's pro or anti. Certain words trigger certain commercials.
They have a multi-million dollar budget. They're pumping out propaganda and targeting our audience with gigantic religious ad campaigns. That's why I'm trying to push back so hard.
@@HolyKoolaid Thank you. This is something religion has done since it's conception. Prager has just figured out another way to reach younger people with their nonsense propaganda. I'm greatful for your hard work!
@@HolyKoolaid I may don't like them, but I will give them this. They don't back down so easily.
Brilliant! Clever, well presented and very difficult to argue with.
Loving this series ❤️
I think this series is great and I've learned some interesting things but to be fair the reason there is so much wrong in the Bible is not NECESSARILY that there is no God. There may not be, BUT theoretically there could be a God and he/she/they just doesn't choose to dictate the Bible. Humans are therefore writing the Bible over hundreds of years and humans aren't all knowing. So some uneducated guy who doesn't know anything about astronomy writes that the sun and moon stopped and of course they didn't. But it has no bearing on the existence or nonexistence of God or gods. To be clear I am not saying God exists and if you prize the scientific method above other beliefs then you need proof. But I'm just saying this Bible story doesn't weigh into that, one way or another. I always figured most of the old Testament are to teach something like Aesop's fables. Aesop doesn't mean a fox really talked or anything like that. Maybe the writer was just poetically saying that if you have faith in God nothing is impossible.
