- Land Hermit Crabs. Explain that Creationists! @KentHovindOFFICIAL and @MattPowellOFFICIAL can you explain?
Darwin and evolution can!
A gorgeous creature that demonstrates how nonsensical both the creation and the flood myths are.
To ask why hermit crabs do what they do, is to ask why humans do what they do... it is programmed in them and with every program there's a programmer
LOL. Got evidence?
Incorrect there is no program that animals operate from they operate from behaviors and those behaviors are learned from the other animals in the group. This is why there are animals that get adopted by other species and then behave more like the adoptive species than their own. If they were programmed by a programmer that would not occur.
First you have to show that there IS a programmer, not just assume that there is one
If it is programmed by your god then all human behaviour is acceptable - god programmed it after all. Therefore there is no sin. If you want to argue that god gave us free will, then you'll have to explain how a program can give free will - no program can be written that permits free will.
Are you saying God is a nerd?
I don't know anything about nightmares and creationists, but I do love fluffy little hermit crabs ❤
You'll have to be very clear in your explanations, when you get home and tell the guys at the local pub, "I went to the Maldives and caught crabs." Their first question will be, does Mrs. S know about that.
Well, the answer is right there.
The first two hermit crabs came right from the coast to the arc.
After that, it was mostly dry land, and plenty of dead shells because of all the snails that died during the flood.
Then, when they got to a river, the female crab swum in, laid her eggs, and got out.
Some of those eggs swam out on the far side until they got to wherever they are today.
As to the uneveness, that's just micro evolution along the way.
As to *why* the great space wizard would do that, well, he is just mysterious.
Just because it makes no sense to you doesn't mean he didn't have a reason.
The needless complexity is there to create wonder in man.
See?
When you no longer care about facts or evidence and are willing to accept preposterous stories and impossible coincidences then anything is possible.
No more of a nightmare than a banana.
I got a giant one of these from a neighbor who didn't want it anymore. I loved that big boi. Built it a giant multilevel terrarium with 3 "biomes." It was a surprisingly gentle crab; it never pinched me and tolerated my preteen over handling. 20 years later, and still remember that crab very fondly.
Wow 👌
That crab definitely traded up. 😉
There was no death before the fall therefore no empty shells.. They simply could not have existed in Eden.
They would have used baby coconut shells... or something. ;p
Latest news on Hermit Crab Channel One: “This giant hand of a species, just slightly more intelligent than us is the crab creationists’ worst nightmare. Our reporter on the tiny island in the Indian Ocean film this sensational encounter with a British tourist the other day. And now over to our weatherman, Hermit Crabman. Will tomorrow be as sunny as today? …..”
Reality is a nightmare to creationists, flatearthers, etc.
The London underground mosquito is also a creationist's nightmare
Regardless of any arguments, they are super cute little critters 🦀❤
Totally agree!
Bethesda thought the same thing and fave us hermit crabs literally big as trucks
Can you just do nature docs? I love these little guys! They look more like arachnids than crabs.
Nice to see considerate crabs for a change, I mean all the sea crabs are just too shelfish to part with anything. 😁
Boy, the wildlife in Blackpool is incredible!
Besides disproving the creation story this is a very interesting and informative video. Just shows that even at my age there's plenty of new things to learn. Thanks Mr. Sensible.
My pleasure! They are fascinating.
Absolutely fascinating creatures but i suspect not quite what Mrs S had in mind as a romantic getaway.
She assures me she had a romantic time... i didn't see her much...
Mr. S has to work, so he can deduct the trip as a business expense.
@@MrSensibleHistoric Dont't tell me - it was the cook?
@@MrSensibleHistoric That's because i was showing her my Japanese Spider Crab. Ooo er Misses.
All life is a creationists nightmare, but they will do as they normally do, lie and claim goddunit, because it is their answer to every question.
2:30-ish It's like a chain of humans moving house. If the one on the end can't move, the chain disintegrates.
Exactly!
I have always loved these small buggers. I used to collect them in a bucket and feed them here in Norway. They were the aquatic variants. Me and my brother also tried giving them a new house and we got to see one who took up the new house. That was amazing to watch. Just as you saw, several smaller ones were waiting in line. We saw this in a small ocean pond.
But what about Jayne Mansfield and the lobsters?
Lobsterisimus Bumbakissimus?
Actually Cenobita is not a genus of crab but a kind of crayfish, but "hermit crab" is still its correct english colloquial name.
I couldn't help myself to mention this for I'm a decapode crustacean nerd keeping dwarf shrimps, crayfish and mangrove crabs - so please forgive me.. 😅
I love these little critters - but one genus of land hermits becomes a nightmarish creature way too large for any shell when getting mature, able to crack coconuts.
Its species name is Birgus latro - you should look it up, it's a fascinating animal.
The idea to bring them up as an argument against the creationist bullshit is absolutly brilliant, thanks Mister S.!
I have spenthours looking at them amazing things!
@@MrSensibleHistoric
Absolutly! The evolutionary adaptability of crustaceans is incredible, especially in regards of their more derived forms, crabs in particular. They conquered such a broad variety of vastly different habitats, from deep sea trenches to woodlands, some genera like vampire crabs even living arboreal.
In addition some genera are showing complex social behaviour including a "language" of knocking on things, almost like morse code.
Signs of a rudamentary intelligence got observed, such as purposefully "surfing" a tank filter's current, repeating it over and over again for no apparent reason which was interpreted as playing behaviour which would necessitate the capability to enjoy things, something which was thought to be possible for "higher forms" of life only.
One could say that some crabs are for crustaceans what octopuses are for molluscs - they will learn to identify their keeper from afar by his steps, and if one is sensitive enough they might even come to take treats from their keeper's hands or tweezers and enjoy getting carefully rubbed with a tooth brush, harlequin crabs in particular.
The more primitive forms of crustaceans are fascinating as well - Triops ("tadpole shrimps") didn't change much for about 200 millions of years when they emerged in Gondwana when splitting from Lepidurus, a lineage reaching back even further into the devonian and still being around to this day.
They prefer very shallow, often temporary bodies of water such as puddles, that's why their eggs can remain fertile for years and even decades in completly dried out substrate. As soon as they are in contact with water and exposed to light their larvae will hatch after about 24 hours.
I fell in love with decapodeans when I visited Sri Lanka for the first time as a teenager where they are abundant, and I won't ever forget when we checked out the beach on our first day, a white beach of ten kilometres hemmed by coconut trees without any sunshades or humans besides us, a tropical paradise.
My eleven years old younger sister ran around to collect shells and my father filmed with his camcorder.
Finally she returned to him to present a particularly beautiful shell she had found, and she proudly held it to the camera when suddenly something unexpectedly came out. She shriked loudly and the poor land hermit who just wanted to take a glimpse of whoever was interrupting his siesta turned into a flying hermit from one moment to the next.
It was hilarious and to have it on camera made it even better.
I like to imagine he gets revered now by his descendants as the first of them who got airborn - maybe his name was Orville. 🤣🦀
There are over 850 species of Crabs, more than 330 of Crayfish and 75 species of Lobster.
There are land and totally marine Crabs (all need water to reproduce). There are also Crabs that live in fresh water, as well as many Crayfish that do the same.
Were there distinct Crab, Crayfish & Lobster Kinds on (or off!) the Ark or was there just a Crustacean Kind aboard (or under). (Er... What about Shrimps & Prawns?).
Anyhowever, I really don't believe that all the disparate species evolved in just 4000 (odd) years. Crustaceans are EVERYWHERE in our oceans and most freshwater systems.
Neither do I believe that ANY of them would have survived a global flood, because OSMOSIS would have killed almost all marine life. Only very simple life would have survived it.
Creationism is just silly. It is utterly gutted by the connectedness of all the sciences.
@@tonythedwvyer
I largely agree - but there indeed are genera of terrestrial crabs which don't rely on water to reproduce, at least not more than us.
The more common and primitive method of reproduction (as practiced by crabs living in water, in mangroves, on shores, or fully terrestrial on smaller islands as the pretty famous populations on Christmas Island with their mass migration to the coast) are nursing their eggs in a poach formed by their modified tail which is bend under their carapax until the larvae are ready to hatch.
If it is a semiaquatic or terrestrial crab the female will then go to the water and release them depending on species directly into the ocean or a body of freshwater. They will live plantonic and go through several stages of developement freely floating until in case of saltwater crabs a miniature crab will end up at the bottom and returns to coast/riverbank while in case of varieties living in brackish water and/or freshwater close to the sea the larvae will get carried out into the sea living plantonic, but depending on stage remigrating back in direction of less salinity.
To breed such crabs is a challenging task because the salinity in a tank needs to get carefully reduced in just the right amounts.
In nature they will return to their adult form's habitat, brackish water if they are mangrove crabs, first brackish and then freshwater in case of crabs living further up the streams. Each stage of development is adapted to a specific range of salinity. The last stage, a fully formed miniature crab will arrive in its final habitat.
But a percentage of terrestrial crab species as vampire crabs belongs to the derived type of procreation - the mother will carry around her eggs on land until fully formed miniatures will hatch.
These baby crabs would drown under water pretty quickly if they don't manage to leave it. These crabs can get bred in a terrarium and are fine with just a little puddle of water barely deep enough to get fully submerged for occasionally rehydrating and keeping their breathing apparatus moist. In nature an arboreal succulent or a big leaf collecting rain water can be sufficient to achieve this, and because they are living in rain forests such opportunities to take a small bath are abundant.
In a terrarium a small bowl does the job, but one has to take care to allow the juveniles to climb out again.
These crabs can be found far away from any actual body of water, just like woodlice which are crustaceans as well - isopods adapted to the same range of habitats as crabs, from the deepest oceanic trenches to dry land as long as there is some moisture available.
Another example of the primitive versus the derived type of procreation are freshwater dwarf shrimps:
The genus Caridina needs to migrate to the sea as larvae by getting carried with the stream just to migrate back in direction of decreasing salinity while maturing while the genus Neocaridina which is almost the same in appearence and adult ecology hatches fully formed and adapted to freshwater which enables it to access habitats not connected to or too far away from the sea.
The derived type of procreation is another example of decapodean adaptibility, but all in all it doesn't matter here anyways - creationism can't be reconciled with the existence of these creatures, no matter what.
Again: I didn't want to "teach" you, I'm just so fascinated by these animals that I couldn't help myself to bring up the derived type of terrestrial crabs. 😅
We are totally on the same page here.
Thanks for your reply and have a nice weekend! 🦐
@@kai_plays_khomus Wonderful, I learned something. I'll go look them up! I was unaware of the Vampire Crabs etc.
My interaction with Crabs has mostly been underwater, but I've met land Crabs in Jamaica. :) I've seen drowned ones there. They'd fallen into swimming pools.
The original hermit crabs had their own shells, but one day along time ago on a Tuesday afternoon at around 4 p.m. a female crab ate a forbidden sea apple and from then on, as punishment, god forced them from their shells to forever use other shells for homes.
Ahh! That explains it!
Humans, Lunar Moths (The most beautiful of all Moths, emerge from their cocoons with no mouths), Damsel Flies, all cursed by God.
I read that too, in Genious 1:17 .... The prequel to the bible. I am waiting for a sequel - The Bible Strikes Back. The critics say it must be simnply awsome.
Despite wanting to see one, I have never done so. You lucky person to be playing with them!!! And so many of them.
But I have always thought the creationist's nightmare was the Platypus, or maybe the Echidna. They are located far from the middle east of course. The Platypus only living on fresh water rivers. Their bodies having elements reptiles, birds and mammals. But they lay eggs and suckle their young from patches of skin that just ooze milk.
It seems that the creationists have a few nightmares to confront!
And this was our Sir David Attenborough's section of the expedition!
Kent and Matt will at the very best present a silly laugh and like a crab silently move sideways out of field of view.
Are you kidding? They’re going to double down!
‘You’ve never seen a crab evolve into a crow, therefore evolution is false! War-turr!’
Mr S., that was absolutely beautiful. I've seen the odd hermit crab but never so many at once.
Well, see, it's according to it's kind. There.
I saw a YEC the other day on Gutsick Gibbon's channel. He was on another channel later.
Anyway, he's 17, and he is trying to fit YEC with hominin evolution. The problem is that he wants all this rapid change to have happened within 6000 years.
I've heard other YEC's talk about accepting the small changes from "kinds" that were on the ark. The point is, I'm sure there is a creationist out there who will gladly ignore the issue with having billions of years of evolution fit into their 6000 year young earth timeframe, and they'll do it by appearing to "accept" some science, but ignore the rest.
Hmm, I wonder if there are any other movements on youtube who like to do that...
You're 17 year old acquaintance might benefit from the channel called "The Truth Hurts". The young man who runs that channel, who appears to be about 25, was born into a Jehovah's Witness family but left it when he tried to reconcile biblical "facts" with scientific evidence. He describes the process well in several videos.
By the way - there is an interesting parallel between male humans and hermit crabs:
Some wear "it" to the left, others to the right side. 🤣
It's caused by their body spiraling either clockwise or anti-clockwise to conform to a shell's interiour, so they need to find a shell fitting not only their size but also their individual anatomy.
I think it was Stephen Jay Gould who once found several extinct species of snails on a beach. They were fossil shells occupied by hermit crabs. He found the area at the beach where the fossil shells were eroding out of rock from the wave action. Pretty damn cool.
That's confusing! Early extinct hermit crabs were found fossilised in Jurassic fossil shells of ammonites & gastropods. I don't think Gould discovered this himself.
She Shells Sea Cells Buy The She's Sore!
Dang it! I don't think I'll ever get that one right!
🤭
Excellent Mr S. could not have plained it better myself. You are truly a genius, far too good for all these idiots who think they are clever enough to know it all. I salute you Sir!
Thank you Lorna! Very kind!
God never had crabs
because he ain't real.
Sir David Attenborough is soon leaving his shell behind, are you interested in taking it mr Sensible?
Giving David Attenborough a run for his money!
Actually, Mr. Sensible would be an excellent replacement for Sir David, wouldn't he!
Glad to see you’re enjoying the local fauna, got to wonder if it would like a fine cheddar
I've read somewhere (Hesekiel 6:17, I think) that hermit crabs especially like grilled Halloumi cheese with Retsina wine.
To play devil's advocate here, it could be said that God had an interest in recycling.
Shells eventually break down given enough time. No benefit is gained by "keeping them in use" until it happens.
@@wallyman292 Fair enough
Did God also create empty winkle shells when it created hermit crabs?
He had gotten the technology to do that on day .... 17! Then it was too late ...
What did Mrs. S. think of all your crabs?
She did ask where i caught them...
I'm a rational person so I'm not a creationist, but I know what they'll say in response to all of your questions. Here it is:
"God works in mysterious ways".
If the crabs cue for a shell by waiting for another crab to vacate their shell, does that mean the crab is able to plan ahead and predict the actions of other crabs.
Them hermit crabs are so cute! c:
Wow! An expedition which gives the lie not just to flerfers but also creationistists (I add an extra -ist because they do the same to the word ‘evolution’, so they seem to like the suffix). Way to go, Mr Sensible!
They always lose it when you ask about aquatic creatures on the Ark.
"these guys are scavengers"
so, flat earthers are hermit crabs?

Awwww... what a bunch of little cuties! Especially that last one - so teeny and cute! And I had no idea that they would wait for another, bigger one to come get the bigger shell so they can take over the shell the bigger crab leaves behind - that's freaking fascinating! Thank you

Brilliant video my friend, as always. Such simple things, viewed through intelligent eyes and using logic and reasoning, show us our wonderful universe. Flerfs are pathetic.
Thanks Gunt!
The critters that produce the shells also do not grow at a rate that is compatible with hermit crab development; another nightmare creationists have no answer for other than "well it musta been yet another miracle that suitable shells appeared out of nowhere".
You're on a hell of a holiday!
Clearly this creature is an abomination ;-)))
Thanks Mr Sensible, you made me discovered a new type of Hermit crab, I knew about the one living in the water, but never about the one that only live on lannd. Great Video

@@Soundbrigade I would not be surprised.
Why the creator made them is a trivia question to answer. They look so cute running around with scavenged shells. If they did not exist and you could create the would you not do that? I would. So they creat or made them because the creator liked the idea of hermit crabs.
"Why the creator made them is a trivia question to answer."
and the answer is, he didn't. and he didn't create us humans either, our ancestors created him because they couldn't explain the world around them. it's easy to say "god did it!" checkmate, religiotards.
Tbf, I would make them, too. And pallas cats! "The face is fierce, but the body is round"!
(But in all seriousness, Genesis just makes no sense, the more you compare it with what exists, it just gets sillier and sillier.)
So you would make an animal with an unfeasibly complicated life cycle, that lives large parts of it’s life in total fear and stress because it is vulnerable to predators, and risks dying while giving birth, just because they are ‘cute’? You’re about as evil as YHWH him/herself!
Note: on writing this about hermit crabs it occurred to me that it’s also quite a good description of human beings!
It think we can all agree that these and all creatures are fascinating, often very beautiful and worth protecting for future generations to enjoy.
Where do the shells come frim?
Spot on, mate.
That is right, if the Bible is right God had to create some animals with shells first and let them die before he created hermit crabs that need a shell from a previous living animal... and when we talk about creatin, at what dey did God create angels, cherubs, daemons and vevils and why did ne made them so horrible scary for humans?
Scary because they come from human imaginations. You think there's a horror movie industry that's based completely on real things that we don't see? How do the movies manage to get the images for things not seen?
Why do demons in Asian mythology look nothing like demons in Mediterranean mythology?
Also if God chooses not to reveal himself to us to protect our free will why do we not see demons everywhere demanding worship? Surely they don't care about our free will.
According to the superstition, yhwh created the heavenly hosts prior to creating the earthly realm.
So, before the evening and the morning of the first day.
As to why they are scary, that is just because they are not of this realm.
He did not create the heavenly hosts in his own image.
For that, he created man.
He created the creatures of this world to be a delight to the eyes of man.
But the heavenly hosts were not created this way.
They were to created to inspire awe in man: true, genuine, terrifying and engaging awe.
