      I agree so let’s observe the US as a whole over the course of its history and examine the morality, crime of the nation. If you look back only 70 to 80 years you start to see a big shift in metrics that are detrimental to any culture, just about all of the issues are a direct result from our departure from the word of god.
      - divorce rates spike
      - crime goes up drastically
      - people are in need of more financial assistance
      - mental health issues spike
      So the written word of GOD is powerful, you can’t begin to fathom the power he has, you are looking at rocks trying to determine what ?? You have the written word that literally proves his existence just by the order it brings as well as the prosperity.
      That’s evidence

It was very foolish for him to have thrown such a statement out there because it's such an OBVIOUS lie. The problem is, it is PROVABLY wrong because he HAS seen the evidence, yet he simply overlooks it in lieu of his pet theory.

      Just as there are atheists who are not scientists, so are there Christians who are scientists and vise-versa.

    This will explain why Bill Nye believes the way he does.
    Two of today's most popular scientists, Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson, each claim Sagan as their inspiration. 
    How would you like to have Carl Sagan as your astronomy professor? For Nye, this was reality. While Nye was studying at Cornell University in the late 70s, Sagan was his astronomy professor. Nye learned much about the universe from Sagan, saying that his lectures were like Cosmos episodes. At his 10-year class reunion in 1987, Nye told Sagan about his idea for a TV show that he wanted to gear towards children. Sagan advised him to “focus on pure science, kids resonate with pure science.” Bill Nye the Science Guy premiered in 1993, winning numerous accolades (including 19 Emmy awards) and inspiring a generation of future scientists.
    Nye later went on to be the CEO of The Planetary Society, an organization founded by Sagan. Now, Nye gets to continue part of Sagan’s legacy. If you grew up loving Bill Nye’s show, you owe much of that love to Carl Sagan.

      @@Mastermirror89 Unfortunately for me, when Carl Sagan's Cosmos was first aired, I missed about 3/4 of it. At the time, I worked a rotating shift, was often at work when it aired, but, more important....at the time my airhead 1st wife controlled the TV, wasn't interested in anything educational, so I often retired to my room and read. Even after all of this time, I still haven't watched many episodes, however.......one I did see showed a close up of Saturn's marvelous ring system. Above the rings was a tiny pale blue dot...our earth. That was a fantastic photo and a chill just ran through me even now thinking about it....our entire earth reduced to a tiny pale blue dot.
      On an aside....I never saw my first total solar eclipse until 1979, when I took a week off of work w/o pay and drove 1000 miles to do so. I was so thunderstruck, the following year I went to Kenya to view my 2nd....and, so it has gone.
      My 2nd wife is very intelligent and interested in astronomy.....three years ago we did a five country tour of South America, did a lifetime dream of mine by walking the steps of Machu Pichu, ended up witnessing a total solar eclipse low over the snow-capped Andes Mts from Argentina, and set while still partially eclipsed....my 10th and my 2nd wife's 4th. In a few years, one will pass right through the town of Sydney (her home country) we plan to be there.

      Exactly. I challenge every Christian to watch this debate and still have the same beliefs at the end. It is perfectly ok to believe that their may be "a higher power" but to follow this and other huge organized religions blindly is foolish. Almost all of the bigger religions have an agenda they are pushing in one way or another. Look at the ark encounter for example. 100 million dollars to build and it's around 50 bucks a pop for a ticket. If they really wanted to help others they could have donated that money elsewhere. And the sad part is that is only one scheme. Can you imagine what else is going on in the name of "god"?

      Scientific method is based on factual information that we currently have to predict or measure a viable theory or outcome that is in rational/logical coherent agreement with what we already know. Christianity has no information or fact except a book written thousands of years ago by multiple different people who weren't even there when the "events" unfolded. The bible is not a platform for any kind of evidence. The scientific method is based in real things, the bible is a bunch of compiled stories that has been edited, filtered through, rewritten, translated, passed down by word-to-mouth over multiple generations(oral communication) and on top of it all it speaks of magical events that has never occurred since and likely never will. And the only "evidence" we have is what Christians like to call "faith". In other words, there is no proof that a single word in the bible is true. There is nothing in there that points to the validity of the written information.
      The problem is they're indoctrinated to believe that even the mere act of questioning the written events is a sin. It's how the devil gets you, and then you burn in hell. Carrot and stick. Heaven for the good obedient sheep, and hell for anyone who thinks it sounds like a bunch of fictional nonsense.
      I was a Christian for no less than 20 years. I understand how difficult it is to wrap your head around, but as soon as you understand how utterly ridiculous any religion is, you'll start living your life free of fear and restriction from vague rules set in place by old conservative story writers in a culture that is almost identical to that of Islam. People were stoned, wars were fought. All in the name of a fictional deity. There is no proof that god exists, and there never will be. It's a system that deliberately keeps you from asking questions, because the mere act of asking questions will make people see how void of subjective truth the book really is.
      Faith is another construct of infallibility, created only to excuse the lack of any kind of useful information. It's a huge circle jerk of cult-like brainwashing designed to make gullible people not ask questions in fear of eternal damnation, or in some versions of Christianity simple for go the chance to get into "heaven".
      There are so many different religions, and many of them state they are the right one. Even within Christianity itself you have 30000-43000 denominations who all claim their way is the only true way to interpret the bible and if you don't follow them, you're going to hell.
      Silly? No. It's not silly, it's completely insane. Brainwashing is really difficult to undo, which is why we see so many Christians willing to (sometimes literally) kill for their "faith".
      There is no proof of gods existence. If you could show real infallible proof, the unbelievers would have to be the ones who so blatantly choose to ignore fact. But what's even worse is that even the very existence of a god, doesn't prove that the bible is "the word" of said entity. Organized religion is essentially organized brainwashing, and the world will never know peace until we are allowed to be skeptical about the information we're presented.
      Who wrote the bible? Even the first scripture is written at least 70 years after the very last events of the bible are said to have occurred. And the hebrew bible is said to be from 6th century B.C. The bible is not a historical scripture, nor is it any kind of reliable source of information which is why you need "faith" in the first place (religious indoctrination and brainwashing).
      You can't make a sensible argument to any religious person that will make them see the systematic cuckery of their belief, because it's made as a loop stopping them from thinking rationally about it's objective truth.

      And when I look up "trust" here's what I get: "Firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something."
      "Reliability" is a keyword here, because that's how science works, it is based on the reliability of evidence and test results, the ability for it to support a theory. If the evidence supporting a theory or scientific belief is no longer reliable and no longer has the ability to support it, and there is new, more reliable, evidence that contradicts, then the theory goes.
      Science.
      (And in case you're wondering, yes there are scientific beliefs, better known as hypotheses or predictions inferred and extrapolated from current evidence and data.)
      The reverse is true with religious books. If new evidence disagrees or dares to disprove the infallible truth of your chosen deity / deities, then the evidence goes.
      You can "observe" your god answering prayers (what about the times when it doesn't?) just like I can observe fairies moving my keys, or the right thing happening at just the right time (coincidence).

If a scientific theory is supported by evidence that is no longer reliable, or the evidence no longer has the ability to support it, then the theory goes and is replaced with a better theory that is supported by more reliable evidence.
      Science.
      (And yes, there are scientific beliefs, in case you begin to wonder. Better known as hypotheses or predictions inferred by current evidence and our understanding of things.)
      The opposite is true with any religious book and belief. If you find evidence that dares suggest your belief, your identity, is wrong, and the mighty infallible writings of your chosen deity is wrong, then the evidence must go.
      Science starts with questions to find answers, religion starts with answers and never questions it. So much for freewill.
      You can "observe" your god answering your prayers just like I can observe mice with fairy wings moving my keys so I can't find them. What about all the times your god didn't "answer" your prayers? Was it saying "no" or was it because you are praying to nothing?
      Every week I can "pray" for it to rain on Thursday, and every Thursday it doesn't until one week it does.
      Remember, correlation ≠ causation.
      And are those things in the bible coming to fruition because of divine influence? Or is it coincidence? Maybe it's the religion's devout followers making it happen? I sometimes see my favourite number appear in the world but that does not mean it has some spiritual meaning or any other signifigance.
      Apophenia would be another very appropiate word for you here. Look that up.

      Are you actually saying that because people there's 'documents' about the ark that there is more solid evidence for the ark than there is for evolution because no one has written any documents about it??
      WOW.
      First off, the documents you seem to be talking about couldn't have been written at the time of evolution because it's happening all the time and takes MILLIONS of years. Secondly, there are also documents of the Greek heroes who fought Cyclopes and gorgons, so by your logic this is proof of them also. Thirdly, evolution does not have 'documents' but it has actual evidence like fossil similarities and layers, similarities amongst living organisms, and DNA testing.
      If you want to learn more about the evidence for evolution, I recommend this site: necsi.edu/projects/evolution/evidence/evidence_intro.html

You cannot win a debate against creationists. They make up their own rules without having an understanding of the scientific process.
      Like Ken's response to Bill saying we don't know what was before the big bang and that we are working to find out. Ken's response was something along the lines of "There is a book that says what happened. It's called the Bible" and Ken wants to leave it at that. Nothing more, just God did it and that's it.

Honestly, you don't even have the speech recognition skills of a fourth grader.
      You ask me for proof, yet give none yourself. I made no claim that science knew what came before; you did. You cannot ask me for proof then think you'll change my mind without proof of your own. And before you say The Bible and I retort and you say I wasn't there, you weren't there when they wrote the Bible either, so with your upcoming argument I suppose you would see yourself in the right when we would be on the same, level playing field. You claim I'm the victim of groupthink, but you believe a book that can't even be backed up by experiment. My science textbooks can be backed up by experiment. Burn them and erase all scientific memory to present and we'll eventually reach the same equations and conclusions; burn all the Bibles erase memory of Christianity and you will see that other religious texts will arise. The fundamental difference between the Bible and our science is that we can back ours up with experiment and can recreate what came before, whereas the Bible simply cannot be proven. You say we can't prove our science, but we are getting a lot closer than you are to proving the Bible.
      Before you say that I blindly believe science, take a step back and realize that all of Christianity is based on believing a book that nobody alive today has witnessed being written. You can't say my argument is invalid because I wasn't there because I can say the exact same thing to you.
      Thing is, religion will come and go, but the laws of our universe won't change. Things will still feel attraction to each other, and take away our knowledge we will still come to the same conclusion. Take away the knowledge of a God and people will come up with other gods and not return back to the same idea of the previous one.

      The whole point should not be, “this side is right because A” or “You’re wrong because B,” as we love to do in this day and age, but rather the ethical and practical implications explored behind each possibility. The Bible, dare I say, is perhaps the most misunderstood piece of literature in the history of mankind, and that, just there, forms the epitome of our issue:
      If we cannot come to accept the truth that the same God depicted in the Bible, is in fact, the highest regard for pure love and other-centered sacrifice anywhere we could possibly look, we will always find ways to deny His existence; at the end of the day, no one knows what happened at the birth of the universe, nor when it came. It is completely unfair to show accusations to one another’s beliefs, as though they are inherently wrong and stupid, when no amount of presented evidence could ever surely convict.
      Instead, look at our alternatives. In the eyes of the atheist, life will carry on, mundane and pointless, until eventually, without hope for anything more, the last flame will die out. We are nothing but an pathetic speck in the vastness of indifference.
      The Bible, when studied carefully, and under the societal norms and cultural expressions of the times it was written, tells a much different story. We were created by a God who cares only for us, making us like Him, able to think of someone else, feeding off His love for spiritual sustenance and living in perfect harmony with the world of plentiful pleasures all around us. We were given purpose among our relationships, designed to let our relationships flourish with other beings, human and animal, along with that all-consuming love for God, for life itself.
      Not only that, but we are promised an eternal life at our fingertips! One of a restored humanity and world, the way it was meant to be, finally. No more pain, He says. No more suffering. No more tears, for the former things have passed away.
      Like a loving father to the orphan, husband to the widow, He will not abandon us. This is what He promises in the Bible.
      Now, take a step back, drop all predispositions and bias as much as possible, setting aside perceived evidence and prejudice. Let your heart guide you, and I guarantee that you will be drawn to God of your own accord. If you are not, then you are mistaken of His character. In fact, we all are. The devil reveals his strategy in scripture as the only way to get us to flee our creator: by sowing distrust and suspicion.
      Any way you slice it, without eye-witness accounts, we can never know what happened. But what we can control is what we believe, in faith no matter which road you take.
      So which road will you take? The one that claims with gusto to be nothing more than a dead end filled with meaninglessness and emotional agony? Or the one that promises eternal life, overflowing with joy and the deepest form of satisfaction, to scratch that itch you cannot seem to on your own? They’re both leaps of faith. You can bet I’m putting my eggs into the basket that is not hanging by a dwindling, dying thread. I’m not staying in a world whose sun is destined to burn itself out. I’m going with my Father, who has promised me and you good things only, if we choose it.

      I'm glad you realize that, DW, and I hope that you return to check out the great amount of well established empirical evidence on this thread which strongly supports Creation and the Flood, just as narrated in the Bible. I found this thread relatively recently, following a dozen or more Creationists who really know the evidence well, and who share it on this thread. Three of them, Cynthia, Peter and 007Truthseeker have taught evolution, so it's especially fun to read their comments and responses.

      The NC-B puppet which responded to you may delete that response as well as the two comments just before yours and his own response to one of those comments, so I'll provide copies and respond to them, starting with his response to you: "The creation and flood myths of Genesis are incompatible with entire disciplines of science - quite literally everything we have learned through scientific research in more than 200 years. The so-called laws of nature are for the most part 19th century approximations for relationships between measurable parameters. Maxwell's equations are pretty good."
      He loves those hyperbolic rants about myths, when we're not talking about myths. We're sharing well established evidence of many kinds, the entire fossil record, all of earth's geological features, all of the published results of radiometric dating, not just the most recent ones which are much more careful to cross-check to avoid revealing how erratic and highly inaccurate all radiometric dating techniques are. His basic tactic is to claim to be a professor of geology, so that he can bully others, but he lies so childishly that he gives away his true educational level, somewhere in primary school level. Even children older than, say, ten, know that constantly making flat statements that he can't back up with any facts, is counterproductive and entirely unconvincing. He's also been caught in some atrocious lies, lies so childish that even a ten year old would know better, so we all ignore his rants and attacks.

    • @markthomas7957
      @markthomas7957 Před 2 lety

      His previous comment used a very familiar tactic: ""He deleted his lie about the dinosaur fossils in the Ashley beds, since it was childishly false." No, Rog. I went to the most recent science, downloaded and read the original 19th century publications on the surficial geology and paleontology of South Carolina, and demonstrated that you, Roger O. Littge, are talking nonsense. Every damn claim you have made was roundly debunked. Your response? You have yet to read a single primary source, preferring instead to rely on the false claims of creationist knuckleheads. If you continue to believe that dinosaur fossils are present in the Ashley Formation, go right ahead. Provide a legitimate source. [That's right. You have no source. Making stuff up isn't evidence, Rog. How the f*ck did you ever function as a physician? No wonder you were struck off.]"
      Notice that he copied and pasted a quote from someone else pointing out that he deleted his earlier lie about fossil evidence which supported Creation and the Flood, then ignored the content of that quote and babbled about how he investigated "the science." That failure to address the point which was made by the person pointing out his childish behavior, first lying about something and then deleting it to hide his lies, demonstrates that the point was valid. He had no other reason to delete something except that it was a lie, or else he would have left it to inform and edify readers. That's not his goal, to edify and inform readers, though. He just wants to annoy those who share evidence here, since we have made him look so foolish day after day for years.

    • @markthomas7957
      @markthomas7957 Před 2 lety

      Then he re-posted perhaps his very favorite attack phrase: "The lying continues. Roger Littge aka Cynthia Albrecht-Tom Braun-Rod Byer-Robert Erst-Fred Fowler-FreeLion007-Zack Garrit-Robert Heber-Dad Lovelace-Stan Marris-Susan Mills-Paul Stern-Mark Thomas-Peter Weber-007TruthSeeker are one and the same person, cutting and pasting the same false claims over and over again from more than a dozen fake CZcams accounts. It makes no difference how many times those claims are shown to be not true. This person is impervious to facts and reason. A nutcase.”
      He's re-posted that exact phrase many hundreds of times, as in just about every day, for years, sometimes more than once per day. The way it starts is, frankly, hilarious: "The lying continues.." Truer words were never written, since this whole rant is a pathetic lie, combining personal attacks with ludicrously ironic lies about how others supposedly re-post the "same false claims over and over again," when that is precisely what he has done for years, oblivious as to how demonstrative this behavior is, of a child at work.

    • @markthomas7957
      @markthomas7957 Před 2 lety

      Then, his response to that hilarious rant was helpful, though not in the way intended: "Why do I delete my posts? To draw attention to the patently obvious fact that one person (Roger Littge) is single-handedly responsible for the vast majority of posts. Mr Littge appears not to understand that no amount of gaslighting will change reality."
      Notice that he admits deleting his posts, which is a refreshing change from his constant lies, but then claims that his deletion of his rants will somehow "draw attention" to his fixed delusion about how all Creationists are just that one person that he attacks endlessly. How his deletion of his own comments and responses, could demonstrate anything other than shame at realizing, too late, how embarrassing and shameful they were, simply demonstrates his lack of contact with reality.

    The Ashley Phosphate Beds of North Carolina.

    • @susanmills875
      @susanmills875 Před 2 lety +4

      I'm pleased to see you mention the Ashley phosphate beds of North Carolina, since they have revealed human fossils and artifacts as well as dinosaur fossils, according to Professor F.S. Holmes, who found quite a few fossils in those beds and wrote about his findings. He was an atheist, though, and, like others mentioned here in recent comments, blind to the obvious inferences to be drawn from finding human fossils and artifacts as well as hadrosaur fossils in the same Ashley phosphate beds, which is that humans coexisted with dinosaurs, indicating that evolution never happened and that claims about many millions of years are wrong, and sadly destructive to realizing what is really going on, how we got here, what our purposes are, what our fate is; the important issues.

    • @susanmills875
      @susanmills875 Před 2 lety +4

      Professor Holmes demonstrated how some atheists react when faced with concrete evidence right in front of them which indicates that humans coexisted with dinosaurs and the corollary inferences I just mentioned: he threw the first human fossil he found, an adult humerus, in the river, to make sure no one ever found it, again. That showed how overwhelmed he was by the fossil he himself found, that he would throw it away since, as a paleontologist, he knew it was in situ in the Ashley beds, not buried long after the formation of the formation, which conclusively demonstrated contemporaneous existence of humans and the hadrosaurs, plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs, the fossils of which had also been found in situ within the Ashley stratum. That was too much of a shock for him to deal with it in a mature, professional paleontological manner, but he subseqently found more human fossils and artifacts within the Ashley, and didn't throw them away.

    • @susanmills875
      @susanmills875 Před 2 lety +3

      Still, Professor Holmes, being the professional paleontologist that he was, could not simply publish his findings of human fossils and artifacts as well as hadrosaur fossils in the same region of the same Ashley formation. He had to dream up an atheistic scenario about how the human fossils must have been washed into the Ashley, along with all those dinosaur fossils for which it was famous, supposedly long after the dinosaur fossils had washed out of whatever stratum in which it had been encased and also into the Ashley formation. As you can imagine, no one has bought that theory. Paleontologists have ignored his findings, realizing how lame his theory was to explain human and dinosaur fossils in the same stratum, and not wanting to engage in any official discourse about his findings, since they indicate so clearly and unambiguously that humans coexisted with dinosaurs. Creationists occasionally mention his findings, and many videos are available on this same site, which discuss the Ashley phosphate beds and other helpful findings.

    • @susanmills875
      @susanmills875 Před 2 lety +1

      Don Patton, for one, and Ian Juby for another have uploaded videos which describe and explain the Ashley phosphate beds and other findings which strongly support Creation and the Flood. Don has covered the Creationists' dinosaur track in Texas, which is crossed by a human track, attracting the attention of a group of people who returned with equipment to remove tons of rock and soil to expose more of that dinosaur track. They even connected the dinosaur track to another portion of it some yards away, revealing the world's second longest dinosaur track, exposing some fourteen more human prints in the process, indicating that the human prints were clearly in situ, like those of the dinosaur, and not fabricated as some activist Atheists claim.

    • @susanmills875
      @susanmills875 Před 2 lety +1

      Don also photographed the removal of several members of the "Malachite man group" of ten modern fossilized human skeletons discovered in situ in the Dakota formation by the bulldozer operator, David Fuller over a period of some twenty years, and uploaded those photographs into some of his videos which are available on this site. It's a fascinating story, complete with a thief, Lin Ottinger, stealing the first skeleton that Mr. Fuller found and called Malachite man, reflecting how well fossilized it was with copper based minerals, since the open pit mine made use of the richness of copper in that area's rocks. Ottinger called it "Moab Man," and we have seen attempts to fool people in recent weeks by various activist Atheists on this and other threads, using that name just like Ottinger used it back then to try to fool people.

      That's helpful, since it illustrates how little you know about carbon-14 dating and radiometric dating, which is used on some kinds of rocks, while carbon-14 dating, which I guess is what you referred to when you wrote: "carbon dating: exists" to show how smart you are, refers to carbon-containing things such as wood, tissue, coal and the like.
      I would point out a great deal of empirical evidence which strongly supports Creation and the Flood, but that would probably be wasted effort.

Ironically, carbon-14 dating has been used to prove that the earth is very young, since significant amounts of C-14 have been regularly discovered within diamonds. Significant amounts of C-14 have been discovered in coal, too, which was supposed to be many millions of years old, but coal is not as impermeable to C-14 as diamonds are, so atheists can claim that the C-14 could have worked its way into the coal specimens in which C-14 was discovered, but they can't claim that C-14 could have diffused into the diamonds which have been found to have significant amounts of C-14.

      I imagine that AiG needs to fend off a lot of hostile feedback. They protect rank and file employees with an email firewall. That said, it is definitely the case that Ken Ham is not in the least interested in contrary opinion. He and his ilk subscribe to a brand of Christianity called 'presuppositional apologetics'. The Bible is quite literally divine revelation. No defense of that position is needed. And any apparently contradictory evidence is obviously misinterpreted. Hence such claims that we're all looking at the same data, but according to different worldviews; and the distinction between observational science (OK) and historical science (evolution, not OK). We can't know about the latter because we weren't there. All such rationalization is of course nonsense.

      Observational science is the science of observing one thing(s) over a certain period of time. For example, you decide to track the population of ants in an ant farm for a certain period of time. You see that the ant population changes in compensation of the amount of available food, air, and other necessary biotic factors. You then conclude that ants rely on these factors for life. Observational science is direct observation through a physical mean (technology, sight, e.t.c.). Otherwise, its not observational science.
