      Seriously though, I think that because "sea monster" is such a vague term, it's possible to define it in such a way that would make them real.
      For example, if someone said "I consider collosal squids to fit the definition on sea monsters and therefore there are sea monsters that are real" I would not argue with that. And I don't think that emma would argue with that, either.
      Basically I'm not trying to disagree with emma's stance, I'm just nitpicking the title. Also, I'm writing this comment before watching the video, so I don't know emma's stance

    The logical explanation for the Japanese sea creature is that it is literally a joke made up by people on 2chan (the Japanese precursor to 4chan). It's really difficult to explain the nuance, but they wrote it like ニンゲン (ningen) in katakana rather than 人間 (ningen) to make it sound more like a creature than just literally the word human in Japanese.
    Also, it's pronounced with a hard 'g' sound.

    Biblical conspiracy theorist is a great term. It gets to the heart of it: Taking parts of the Bible literally and then massively over-reading outside context in to the text.
    It's also nicely differentiates from the conspiracy theory that is Young Earth Creationism, as that's another semi-literal Bible reading but puts the conspiracy outside the text and instead on 3rd parties who disagree with whatever YEC view is being taken.
    It also nicely incorporates flat earth conspiracies, either in a YEC or non-YEC vein that are Biblically derived.
    Again, great term that we should use more often as a community where it's apt.

    Oh my goodness, Emma, thank you for that one! Huge praise must be heaped upon you. Enduring this even once is torture, so I can't imagine how could get through it twice. As an extremely grown man, I will testify that I was indeed crying--from laughter. I have countless musician friends who can reproduce that noise perfectly using any number of sundry instruments or devices, I'm sure. You've most certainly sharpened your wit over the years, and there were countless examples in this one. I was loudly laughing out loud several times here, and so I thank you again. And as always...
    God damn it, Connla!
    (I hope you don't mind me usurping your bit. It was just such a sweet piece of schtick, and I'm sorry to see it go. However, I'm happy that you now have enough supporters that you can no longer read them off at the end. I have only a few surmises as to how it all got started, but I'm sure glad it did!)

    Ningen doesn't exist, that photo underwater with no face and looking like a submarine is a Photoshopped concept of the creature. Some people were diving in the Antarctica in 1960s and they reported it seeing a creature looking like it was 30 meters. It was even in the night and someone in the early 2000s made that Photoshopped image.
    The Bloop was an iceberg but, the most interesting part was that it was very close the location of where Cthulhu are sleeping in the corpse city of Rlyeh.

    Thank you for my Saturday afternoon giggle!
    Two thoughts from this (mainline Protestant) biblical scholar/pastor:
    1) The modern Hebrew word for whale is “leviathan” (transliterated, since I don’t have a Hebrew keyboard on my tablet)
    2) Adding to your list of things that the bible is not - not written by a single author in a single time period. There is no singular description of the leviathan in the bible, just as there is no singular description of a dragon in modern English-language literature.
    (And a bonus 3rd thought - I’m very disappointed that Joe didn’t explore the leviathan as described in the book of Job into his video. Here, leviathan is something feared by people, yet part of a litany of things that God created and that God delights in - Job 41 describes the fearsome leviathan, but it has to be taken in the context of Job 38-41. But I guess moving beyond prooftexting would risk destroying his worldview.)
