It's hilarious Ray included Jefferson on his list of famous bible believers. Jefferson famously compiled his own version of the bible where he removed all of the miracles and supernatural elements. Most apologists try to go out of their way to not mention Jefferson when talking about the beliefs of the founding fathers because his deism is so well documented.
@@SamErbs The trail of tears took place between 1830-1850. Thomas Jefferson died in 1826. How is it you're claiming he somehow tried to justify something that didn't begin until a few years after he died?
@@SamErbs I think that would be Andrew Jackson..
Methinks someone deleted a particularly stupid comment.
Yep. He also wanted to get the book of Revelations completely removed from the Bible because he called it the “ravings of a madman” lol.
@@laurakp1179 yeppp! That's because it was. I'm pretty sure Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox take Revelations as metaphorical literature. Most (if not all) denominations of Protestants view the book of Revelations literally.
So much division in Christianity!
The human genitalia are perfectly positioned to be manipulated by our hands, and our fingers are the perfect shape and texture for manipulating our bits. By Ray's logic, God created our anatomy expressly for the purpose of self-gratification.
Does that mean I can start feeling less guilty?
And it shows that there’s something wrong with the design, as self-gratification requires less effort than helping someone else out with that.
@@andystokes8702 never feel guilty for that it is perfectly natural and healthy
@@kalebsatterfield2443 Many years ago I heard a comedian (can't remember who) say that 82% of men admit to masturbating - this goes to show that 18% of men are liars.
@@andystokes8702 no. No one does that but you.
"Consider the Tig Welder: it takes high voltage electricity and argon gas, and turns them into fused metal. Humans can't do that, therefore the Tig welder must have been created by someone much more intelligent than humans."
My favorite part so far is where he lists all the plants that humans literally domesticated and bred for maximum agricultural yield and gives them as examples of a divine designer.
My eye twitched a little when he brought up corncobs because domestic maize is literally one of the most important and mind-blowing examples of human selection, as the wild grass that corn derives from is so small and inedible, as well as looking nothing like modern domestic corn. The generations of painstaking selection were nothing short of incredible. This was done mainly by Native Americans, so there's the added insult of erasing their monumental contribution as well.
Many of our modern foods, were originally poisonous to us. It took humans, deliberately fixing the screw-ups that god supposedly created.
Life is trying to kill us every minute of the day. If our immune system shuts down, Life will kill us pretty quickly. So god designed Life to kill off the weak...
Hmmm, god's "love" sure seems to be really hostile to us.
I just want to point out that "stein" is German for "stone," meaning this book's chad of a host may indeed have rocks for a brain.
Petrified -wood- wouldn't.
11:30 it's so hilarious that he chose cows, bananas, apple, corn... Literally all extreme examples of human guided artificial selection. You couldn't make a stupider argument than those four.
Tell me, Ray, if bananas are created as the perfect food for people, why am I allergic to them? 🤔
As a engineered and genetically modified fruit, bananas were created.
By humans!!!
Oh Erika just said that!. I should’ve waited until I finished the video before, I commented LOL
@@budd2nd I'm aware. I was talking to Ray Comfort. Which is why I used his name...
That aside, we didn't create bananas. We created the modern bananas through selection. Almost like evolution...
@@drewharrison6433
Yes I should’ve said that. They’re clones too, aren’t they?
In my defence is very late at night here. I should be asleep, really.😴 💤
@@budd2nd Yes and no. All Cavendish bananas are clones of one another and all lady finger bananas are clones of one another but they are different varieties. If I'm not mistaken they were bred in kind of a normal fashion but there was likely some taken from "bud sports" (somatic mutations that form a branch with different genetics than the rest of the tree).
Because a talking snake tricked a clay golem into eating some fruit 6000 years ago, obviously 🙄
It truly doesn't get more circular than "creation is proof of a creator"...
Especially since the premise "painting is proof of a painter" implies the impossibility of God creating a painting without actually painting. As a consequence of his OWN argument, an omnipotent god can't exist.
And cancer is proof of a cancerour. And death is the design of a deathor. And fuck is the design of a fucker. Wait. How is sex designed? Awww... poor god. Now I know why he's so lonely: he murdered his sexslave for adultery. Ah well, lucky us for being made in his image. No wonder everything went to shit and the woman was blamed for everything.
"circular" like a plate? Or round, like an orange?
The world exists, so God must have made it! Checkmate, Atheists!
Reality implies a Realitor.
Ray is seeking his intellectual level, by writing books for children.
Captive audience that can’t articulate counter-arguments
I would like to ask you to refrain from insulting the intelligence of my kids.
He needs to keep going lower, though.
If amoeba can read, he might be getting somewhere…
Don’t insult children by comparing them to RC lol
"Fairy tale for grownups"
The projection is strong with this one.
Everything about this aside I kind of find it sad that some of Ray's listed sins include just feeling a particular feeling. Feelings are something that happen in our body and not something we do. It's very sad
That's evangelical Christianity for you in a nutshell. It's a religion of emotional and mental control.
Jefferson made his own bible without supernatural stuff. It was like 40 pages long.
I feel pretty confident in saying that Dickens would have mercilessly parodied somebody like Ray Comfort with a character like some clueless clergyman who was overly confident in the strength of his feeble arguments.
This video caused my christian mom to have an emotional breakdown, call Erica a bitch, and me a horrible human being. lmao
Damn. Wish I had the courage to show this to my YEC mom lmao
what a stinky ape!
Do apologists not know how hilarious it is when they point to a naturally occurring system in nature, and then make the wild flailing leap in logic to pretending that's evidence for supernature?
Like Ricky Gervais said, "we don't need supernature, nature is super enough"
We need to make a creationist book drinking game. My suggestions:
-"it's just a theory"
-Lucy just monkey
-missing link
-x animal doesn't give birth to y animal
Liver disease speedrun!
Look at the trees!
Don't acute alcohol poisoning is real & not worth the risk or the loss of brain cells
@@ThAdversary look at how amazing the EYE is 😂
-mutations always lead to a loss of information, therefore it's not possible for living beings to gain complexity through genetic mutation
-carbon dating is inaccurate and bad because of xyz
-this one time paleontologists/archeologists found a skeleton and believed it was a new species, when it actually turned out to be a hoax, therefore they can't be trusted
DON'T GO INTO THE BASEMENT! Haven't you ever watched a 1980s Horror movie?
Definitely an okay movie. Would have been nice while I was 10 or 11 years old I probably would have been watching it from under the bed
She went in to the basement and found Ray Comfort. And then died
@@bskec2177 Yup! Ray Comfort is definitely that fkn creepy!!
@@bskec2177 At least she didn't find a mouldering tome of ancient evil. Well, that might have been better.
@@bskec2177 I could believe that.
I wish the illustration of creation had included a lion ripping out the throat of a wildebeest, or a human covered in smallpox boils, or orcas slaughtering seals.
If Ray is correct and there is no such thing as evolution and his God created everything that would have to include all things, not just the fluffy kittens. Smallpox, cholera, syphilis, even the organism that causes the common cold. How about Covid 19 - did that evolve from previous viruses or is it one of God's created gifts for us?
@@andystokes8702 I'd bet a bob to a Bobby that Ray belongs to the camp that thinks Covid 19 is a Chinese bioweapon.
@@simongiles9749 Yes, you may be right but even then we still have the problem of how it came into existence. If it was artificially selected for in some fiendish Chinese laboratory it would still require that evolution needs to be possible. The alternative is that it was created by God but only the Chinese have so far discovered it.
My personal favourite is the Eponis beetle. Presumably it was either Monday morning or Friday evening when god designed that particular form of viciousness…
@@lidbass A good one! I am partial to the parasitoid wasps that sting prey to paralyze it, inject eggs, then let the larvae eat the prey alive from the inside out. Truly the work of a brilliant psychopath. According to legend they horrified even Darwin. So much cruelty, so little time!
Incredible that Ray Comfort's arguments for the existence of god are the same when he's talking to either children or adults
And presented in pretty much the same words. Says a lot, doesn't it?
I thought that only muslims used the painting-painter argument since the industrial age. No christian uses that argument anymore. Christians nowadays try to add a gazillion extra fallacies, like complexity and arguments from ignorance and more, to make it impossible to point them all out. If you don't have an argument, just pile more bullshit. I find it insulting to people's intelligence, but then again, people in general are insulting to their intelligence, so why give a shit - if people want to go downhill, give them some green soap.
@@stylis666 arguments fall in and out of style but that one seems to stick around
Baby's First Logical Fallacies.
Someone needs to actually make this book and teach children about logical fallacies and the basics of good reasoning! If I ever have kids I would for sure buy it!
@xaayer - HA! .^_^.
And here I was thinking it was spelled Brainstain. Must be proof of an alternate universe.
Lol
I see you are a man of the Berenstein Universe as well.
if a lactating person eats bread they're literally turning grass into milk 🤣
Not only wheat, rice, corn ,barley, rye, oats, sorgum and millet are all grasses and I'm sure there's more I've forgotten
I’ve heard that nettle soup is good.
I ADORE your Kent impression... I could watch an hour long video of just that 😂
This must be the only book in existence that was written by a baby for a baby.
Ah yes, Albert Brainstein, named after his real-life YEC Christian counterpart *check notes* Albert Einstein.
the best thing about his mistitling of Darwin's book is that he's actually published it himself. you can't tell until you see his name in the introduction of his version where he tells you that there are several competing hypotheses to explain the diversity of life and here's one of them
I love Charles Darwin "sold a lot of copies in 1859".
Classic minimisation.
Well, unlike Ray's 2000's book it is still in print!
@psychologicalprojectionist - Excellent point!
Please correct me, if i'm wrong, but: Wasn't Ray Comfort's latest defense regarding "the banana", that it was a joke from him and the atheists didn't get the joke?
This book refutes this defense.
As if anyone was fooled by that excuse...
@@nagranoth_ I would trust creationists to fall for it.
It was a joke, no wait that's wrong it's ray that is the joke
The “joke” thing was added after everyone started making fun of him. This was written BEFORE he got called out so many times for this argument that he had to claim it had always been a joke.
Also the original video is still floating around the net, I’ve seen it, and it is plainly clear to anyone with a nose on their face that he was not joking!
Also, if Ray had ever read the Dead Sea Scrolls, he would not be able to claim that they were exactly the same. That's a bald faced lie.
Ray can lie.
No surprise. YEC requires lies. Especially bald-faced ones.
I could be that he picked up that scoll 1QIsa a - the Isaiah scroll - has for 99% the same text as the Masoretic texts. Maybe not 99%, but at least very consistent with the Masoretic
The Masoretic text is considered the authoritve version of the Tanakh and is the one used for modern bible translations. Although the Isaiah scroll is pretty much the same that is not the case for all biblical texts found in the Dead Sea scrolls.
"It's exactly the same"; "it's in 500 languages"
No. Not possible. Linguists acknowledge that there is not always a one-to-one mapping of ideas in one language to another. Just Hebrew to Latin, there are huge problems and ambiguities where you have to choose between several wordings, and none of them is really more right than the others. Add to that the amount of editorial discretion applied along the way, e.g. committees and authorities choosing which books and parts of books are canon, and it's extraordinarily silly to claim the Bible is exactly the same today as it has always been.
@@davidhand9721 Ray Confort should try to make this statement in front of Rabbi Tovia Singer, who more or less rejects every other reading of the Tanakh in a language other then Hebrew. He consideres every translation as a distortion of the original text. It would be an interesting discussion between the two and bets could be set for how many minutes it takes before Confort runs off crying.
Good lord. If u ever get a PO Box I would love to send you the brainwashing books I was shown as a kid. My parents were so religious that they would sharpie and glue together pages about science and evolution in my science books for homeschooling. I would spend hours holding the blacked out pages to the lights and trying to carefully cut apart the offending pages in hopes of deciphering the forbidden secrets. My mind was most blown by the thought that my parents could possibly be lying to me 😱🤣 poor kid 😭😂
Denying children education is a form of child abuse.
That was a great idea your parents had, there's no better way to get a kid to pay attention to such things than to try to stop you seeing it 🤣
Convict digging file out of a pie. Sorta.
My parents didn't want any science books that mentioned elevation in their house when I was growing up. They missed a couple. Then we got high speed internet & I got my own computer.
@@rvoight92 elevation as in Sea level plus x? They denied...mountains??
Can't imagine that. But Poe is a thing. So...
Classic Ray! If this had remained in print, that "humans can't lactate" bit (to paraphrase) could have become as broadly popular as the famous banana clip.
Your Soviet anthem was a glorious touch when reviewing some of the graphic designs of books in the beginning!
Didn't RC say the banana thing was all a big joke after he got roasted for his video with Kirk Cameron saying the same ridiculous things verbatim? He wouldn't lie to try to save face would he?
Why did he go on tour for a decade with that garbage if it was just a joke? Ray was never a christian Standup comedian.
There is a clip of him using this argument, then years later he tried to turn it around by mocking himself over it.
The "a painting posits a painter" variation on the Watchmaker argument?
Ah, the Classics!
Conflating a mundane claim with a supernatural one is not particularly compelling.
It's even more laughable because in this case, the "painting" in question has been masterfully crafted to look exactly as if an open paint bucket fell on a canvas from being pushed by a curtain flapping in the wind, including security camera footage that it's exactly how it happened, and the painter doing absolutely everything in his power to hide all traces of his involvement.
And it isn't even dumbed down any from the way that argument is used with adults.
This really is all there is to that poor excuse for an argument.
But if u got a painter and watchmaker shldnt there b a treemaker and rockmaker? Cloudmaker? I can go on!
"If we admire a wonderful painting, we are really admiring a wonderful painter." oh, no, not at all. I think some of a certain mid 20th centuries Austrians art is pretty good. By no means or form does that mean I'm admiring that monster of a man.
He says "wonderful" paintings, so really depends on your idea of wonderful.
That artist's paintings were pretty low-tier anyway. If it weren't for his political career nobody would have remembered his art.
@@jamestown8398 I mean he was applying to go to school to learn how to paint better so of course his paintings weren’t that great. That’s the point of art school. I think he had potential and what he did with not much training was certainly better than what I can do.
Think of the watermelon. It's perfectly shaped and sized to be held in your hand. Think of the pineapple, with a wrapper you can eat.
This friggin guy, omg. I would say he's cherry picking, but I don't wanna give him any ideas.
Oh, the old judge argument. Heard that before.
"For the crime of NOT RESPECTING ME I sentence you to.. DEATH!"
"Please don't kill me!"
"But, I am a generous judge! Someone must die to appease the law, but I can sacrifice my only son in your place!"
"Huh?"
"It's ok, he'll get better. Now, will you accept my sacrifice?"
"Wait, didn't you write the law?"
"Stop talking back and have faith, or I'm going to throw you into the incinerator."
Pulling out the OG banana argument. Yep, this was definitely written by Ray Comfort all right.
Both you and Emma Thorne have read kids bible stories. A colab might be a fun thing to do. Just a thought :o)
I second that! Get after Comfort and Hovind at the same time!
O M G yes
Yes, I think "cultivar" is correct.
Also, the cattle humans depend on for beef and milk were also produced by artificial selection. The same goes for nearly all domesticated plants and animals.
Yes, it is. It's an abbreviation of 'cultivated variety'.
@@iansaxby9264 I never realized that. Thank you for making me less stupidly ignorant of the world I live in. But let's focus for a second on those domesticated plants and the life expectancy and the amount of humans in the last couple of centuries. Nah, I'm bored, look it up sometime if you didn't already know and it just slipped your mind.
Nutshell: god did a piss poor job feeding humans and we fixed that, poorly. Now we have lots of grain and gluten and sugar and sugar addiction and slow and fat people and we burn things for energy even though the sun is responsible for every time entropy increases and we see proof of that every fucking day.
We have the ability to fix all problems and we just don't care unless it affects us personally and then we just think that we can't change the world and it has been like this since forever, so we just let it and feel powerless and whine some more.
I find it amazing how much we piss on innovators that made our lives better by insulting them by just letting people distort shit with thinking errors and fallacies and just excuse it away with:" it's always been like that, how are you gonna change it?"
Well, maybe by giving the younger generation the bare minimum: a fair chance, teach them critical thinking skills so instead of having automatic thinking errors, they automatically question everything they think and someone says. Just a thought. Or just not do that and I'll eat popcorn when everyone is miserable and I stopped giving a fuck about you.
bananas weren't banana-shaped. cows weren't cow-shaped...
It'd be a lot of fun to see you take a crack at "Dinosaurs by Design" by Duane Gish. I just discovered it, and among other things you get to see a fire-breathing parasaurolophus, a baryonyx eating a gazelle, Saint George slaying a Baryonyx, and a german U-boat bombing a Baryonyx (what can I say, Gish either really loves or really hates baryonyx in particular). It's glorious, and I had a lot of fun reading it with my friends.
Is that the guy who invented the so-called 'Gish Gallop'?
@@Dragoderian yup
I've seen the Parasaurolophus image on TV Tropes.
It ain't a Ray Comfort Classic if it doesn't include his banana argument!
I love how this is supposed to be a dumbed down book to explain the arguments of god to kids but these are literally how their presented to adults. Its so perfect.
This seriously reads like an extended bible tract
GOOD JOB.
This was both HILARIOUS as well as SCARY.
Just plain horrifying thinking about all the little kids that read this.
Ray Comfort is a master at writing books for the undeveloped brain.
Here is the thing about apples. While you can plant the seeds you will not get the apple you ate. It could be tasty all the way to inedible but it will be different. So just as wrong as the banana. To get the apple you eat requires grafting of the tree that produced the apple to another tree to create the same apple.
Avocados don't fruit true to the parent plant either and there are other but i can't remember what they are
"think of the corn cob"
"im not owned! im not owned!!", i continue to insist as i slowly shrink and transform into a corn cob
I will face God and walk backwards into Hell.
I loved the cows make green grass into white milk, pretty lame if you ask me, we can turn bright orange cheese puffs into white milk 🤣 that's more impressive
"People call someone who doesn't believe in god an Atheist" -Ray Comfort. Outside discussion and debate he actually represents my lack of belief accurately, although the previous sentence was wrong.
16:40 every time I hear anyone (religious or not) railing against homosexuality, I say to myself, "methinks thou dost protest too much."
I've often wondered why an omnipotent, omniscient creator of everything would constantly create gays and lesbians if they are so abhorrent to him. It's not like they choose to be that way, that's just the way they were created. He could choose to not make people that way yet for some bizarre unexplained reason he just keeps doing it. I wonder if God has a masochistic streak.
Ray comfort: *sees his own reflection in a lake.* “Wow, what beautiful art! There must be an artist!”
I just keep asking how much more cringey can Ray Comfort get & he always amazes me at the levels of cringe he reaches.
Thing is, this is a kid's book he wrote 20 years ago and he sounds just the same as when he's accosting adults on the street today. He'd already reached the pinnacle of his arguments, no matter what age or level of understanding.
As for cringe, he's always got it dialed up to 11.
I'd say the tweet where he said that if god told him to rape and kill his children, it would be done by dawn is likely 'peak cringe,' and any other cringe he spews is just dressing.
Even if humans are designed I'm pretty sure it wasn't designed by intelligence designer. I'm also pretty sure that almost everyone who have a master of human biology can design better human.
And probably a child with a crayon could create a better human too! Albeit one that would have stuff that would probably be biologically impossible for us, like wings or gills or laser eyes capable of melting through tungsten
Oh my. Way to make me sick to my stomach.
Those YECs give us homeschoolers a bad rep.
I'd love to see Ray point out any butter that wasn't made by people.
Ray enjoys nectarines from heaven.
Finally a product that is adequately reflecting the unlimited brainpower of the Bananaman.
so it is just ray comforts street ambushes, a book, for kids.
the guilt trip starts early...
Yup. The wordiing doesn't even change.
ROFL your Kent Hovind impression killed me on the spot.
let me use ray's "logic" concerning hoaxes for a moment:
1. at most 1 noah's ark existed
2. multiple noah's arks were found over the years -> undeniable hoaxes
conclusion: the ark is invalidated.
1:05 Billy Graham book?!? My first thought was, "What the hell is that Fender guitar amp doing in GG's backdrop?"
“i have a theory of who took the last muffin” made me weep
Lmfao. He totally forgot that people indeed make milk to feed our offspring......because we're mammals 🤣
HILARIOUS!!! Thanks for the laugh. You read that book perfectly.
OMG! I have never actually been able to watch your intro before! It’s GREAT!
Someone made an apple for "people and horses" to eat?
I didn't know apple fits well horse's hand too.
Maybe he's onto something..
As much as I enjoy your debunks from your professional standpoint, this is a most enjoyable romp! You give me hope for the future of humanity Erika. Keep up the good work!
Pretty nice for Ray to write a book specifically for your basement babies
I am a deeply religious person who loves your work…
Including this awesome video! As a n observant Jew I hate pseudoscience and Xtian hegemony at least as much as you do!
Rabbi Tovia Singer's UA-cam presentations are the BEST !! He "wipes the floor" with the beLIEfs of xtians.
You're dumb to believe in pseudoscience while claiming you hate pseudoscience.
@@onedaya_martian1238 Pity they don't look in the mirror.
@@Cheepchipsable Who is they?
If you mean religious people in general I agree with you to a certain extent (though Tovia Singer does do a good job of explaining why the Hebrew Bible as written in the original language does not support the idea that Jesus is divine or the Jewish messiah). I would feel more comfortable if you clarified whether "they" referred to religious people generally (which is fine) or to us Jews in particular (which makes me feel unsafe). Thank you!
"What is it with you people and bananas?" Emma Thorne
12:23 Well excuse me, Ray. Banana is mostly tropical production while apples and corn are temperate productions, that's why the Latin America and Southern Asia are the biggest producers by a fairly large margin, that's one of the reasons why during the Cold War most Latin American countries were referred to as Bananas Republics (turns out the US wanted cheap banana to consume and dictadorships provided this through enforced free market transaction).
i sincerely love this channel. you're a great teacher who communicates these academic topics in a way that's easy to consume, and who will also describe a monkey as "about to enter into a rambunctious mode"
Lol I love this video so much. Your commentary made me smile on a day where it was very hard to do so. Love what u do 💖💕🥹
Really funny video. Thanks for your work as always Erika. 😁
My god... The setup at 10:22, the (ahem!) pregnant pause, and then your dry delivery at 10:34 gave me a bloody good laugh. I've been severely depressed as of late, and that one laugh made so much of a difference. Thank you.
There's a lot of bad stuff going on the world right now, so I appreciate this video as a bright spot out there.
The perfectly made for humans banana... unless you're allergic.. yeah, thanks god 👏😂😂😂😂
Came for the book breakdown, subbed for the intro animation.
You are such a dork I love you thank you
"Sees vinesauce reference"
Ericka, I love your videos. Keep it up.
That citation of (Dr.) Kent hovind was hilarious.
Especially as his "degree" is in religious education. And that he studied evolution extensively?
Much like I've heard some creationists claiming to study evolution in other cases, that study seems to consist of reading creationist propaganda.
The book seemed simply a condensation of Ray's usual spiel, just slightly more simplified and with pictures. Though I think his street harassment is currently skipping bananas for some reason.
Look at the orange: it is a very nice color and is the perfect size, shape and density for you to throw at people without harming them too much! Also it is very nutritious and you can eat the whole thing! Wait a minute...
Clearly it was designed by a spaceless, timeless, all powerful, knowing and benevolent being that wants to have a relationship with you and really hates it when penises touch other penises
Look at the orange: how amazing is it that it is actually orange? God make an orange the color orange so to make it easy to identify by its color!
***Actual true story: the color orange was called orange because it is the same color as an orange. IOW, the color is named for the fruit. There was not a word for the color orange until something like the 1400s.
One time I asked on Twiitter; Do we call an orange an orange because it is orange, or do we call the color orange orange because it is the same color as an orange?
A friend of mine who knows such things understood the question and gave basically the answer I said above.
@@flowingafterglow629 even better - the orange was considered to be red or yellow in color for centuries by every culture that cultivated them! Anthropology has shown that when it comes to colors, language actually has an extraordinary influence on what we can perceive.
For example, a culture that has several words to describe shades of red but no weird for yellow would invariably describe an orange as red. Or a culture that has dozens of words for green but not blue would instantly recognize a slightly different shade of green:
ua-cam.com/video/mgxyfqHRPoE/v-deo.html
I swear, my philosophy professors would have slapped the shit out of me if I created a syllogism as inane as Ray's, i.e.,
P1: Animal/object 'X' can do 'Y'.
P2: Humans can't do 'Y'.
C: Therefore, 'X' was created by a supernatural being.
This is gonna be good!
9:42 I love the implication that cows eat the grass, make the milk, then process it into dairy foods.
Yeah, that's funny.
Cows don't turn grass into cheese.
i’ve been deconstructing catholicism and my own catholic upbringing and you’re posing a TON of great questions that are really helping me do so. i am drinking lots of vodka
If dogs have dogs, how does Ray think we end up with new breeds of dogs? Does he think a husky gave birth to a Pomeranian?
Edit: Just to clarify: If each "kind" always produces its own "kind" how do we go from wolf-like dogs to the 197 breeds that exist today? Did Noah have 197 pairs of dogs, or did German Shepherds give birth to chihuahuas?
If Ray follows the Answers in Genesis crowd on this matter (as he does in others), then Noah only took one pair of wolves onto the boat. That single breeding pair are the ancestors of all modern day dog and wolf species.
However, all of those species are still dog-wolves and no dogs have ever given birth to a non-dog. To them, "micro evolution" is sensible and how we end up with new varieties or breeds of animals. Those types of breeding events can never result in a completely new type of animal, only new types of existing animals.
I'm just giving my insight as someone who was "highly educated" in these circles, in case you are generally curious; I have very good reasons to not believe in that stuff anymore. 😅
I love that intro music btw.
I love it when you dismantle their "technical literature" like this! 😊
Entertaining as usual!
Growing up as a YEC and then going to college to learn paleoanthropology... What a learning experience.
Biblical Earth is round -- flat and round like a dinner plate.
Uh, apple seeds. Plant them and you may or may not get edible apples. Edible apples are grafted onto other apple trees. By people.
I find it interesting that, in my lifetime, the teaching went from "Jesus washed away original, but you need to ask forgiveness for the ones you do" to "Jesus died for all your sin, but even so you need to ask for forgiveness". They modern message actually makes the alleged death of jesus worthless, as it got humans no change except a way to break their own first commandment and worship someone else.
In most Christian religions, the idea is more that Jesus died so all sons can be forgiven, but one needs to ask. As for the first commandment, worshipping Jesus doesn’t violate in mainstream Christianity he *is* God.
The above is just the basic explanation.
@@jamestown8398 actually, "all sins" is relatively recent. Catechism in my lifetime was very clear that Jesus fixed ORIGINAL sin, and most protestant faiths preached the same. That is why you had to confess (for catholics) and pray to be forgiven. If he died for ALL sins, you would be automatically forgiven and not need to ask (and you could basically do anything you want since you are pre-forgiven). As to the second, you make my point for me. If you have to ask forgiveness, jesus was a wasted act, and calling him gawd only buys it you being able to say you didn't break rule #1 when you pray to him.
A Death you can come back from about 30 hours later (it's "on the third day" not after three days... pretty much just friday sunset to sunday sunrise, ergo 30 hours plus minus a few minutes....) seems worthless as "sacrifice" anyway. Especially when the death was already described as ridiculously fast and incredibly less painful than for 99.999% of all such executed persons ever. Not even one day? A single afternoon? Yeah, no. crucifixion was so popular as deterrant for slave revolts and similar activities because it took ages to die from it. 4, 5 days was not unusual, sometimes even more if they kept you hydrated and you could not get heart problems from being dried out alone that is. Then the strain of keeping your body upright with feet and shoulders would cause you to slowly drown in your own lung liquids... yay! Ultimately the problems to get breath to give you any more oxygen as the lungs are filled up with liquid makes your heart go extrafast and that will kill you.
The jesus story is not even close to describing a real crucifixion and it's making the story even less impressive as an immortal being giving up on anything to "pay" for sin.
Odin sacrificed an eye to gain wisdom. He did not get it back after a long weekend!
@@Ugly_German_Truths Yeah, but nobody will give you money and obedience for "Jebud had a bad weekend for your sins". LOL
@@jamestown8398 according to the buybull jebus isn't gawd.. when jebus was supposedly crucified he prayed to gawd and asked gawd why has he forsaken him so clearly jebus didn't think he was gawd.. cretards don't ever read their cults book
Thanks for this.
Erica, you are a true treasure!
Normally I find creationism stick tiresome however I thoroughly enjoyed your read of Ray's book.
Ray tries to make out now that the whole banana thing is just a joke that only xians are in on.
He should know that apples are no longer thought to clean your teeth.
I always love Comfort's banana. It has been bred through Artificial (Human) Selection to fit in the hand. Lol
Your first sentence 🤣🤣🤣
@@markshort9098 i hate you so much right now
@@azhdarchidae66 why, do you love rays banana too? Sorry I just don't think Ray is that hot and he certainly doesn't have an attractive personality but hey whatever floats your boat
Just found your channel and this is a really good channel.
Ray is just a hoot, in a Christian fear and bullying type of way.
Many thanks - new subscriber and big thumbs up.
Pleased to have found this :)

Yass!!!!
A painting does not prove a painter, according to the Supreme Court. In an age where a computer can make an image of a depressed monkey member of a yacht club, Courts have ruled that Computer generated art is not Copyrightable. So a painting can be made by a mindless computer, but anyone, or any godling can use it.
