it's actually not too hard if you learn and limit the conversation. Start learning by finding an online bible with search capability and find any references to your chosen topic were christians are hypocritical. read up as much as possible, then Go find a comment related and start taking them apart. They will try to deflect to something else, but don't let them. Stay on topic, or at least limit it to areas you know. An example is when life begins. Many christians will claim life begins with conception, therefore abortion is murder. But the Bibles says life begins with first breath in many places. It also outlines the penalty for harming someone vs. causing a woman to miscarry and treats it more like a lose of property. The Bible describes a christian ritual to abort an unborn child if the husband believes it isn't his that involves the mother being given bitter water by a priest. I recommend you read related articles too before starting. Do I believe the extreme view that abortion should be legal up to first breath? of course not, but I don't think the opposite extreme of no abortions even in cases of rape or danger to the mother's health is right either. I'm not arguing the right or wrong of it as much as I'm arguing their hypocrisy of using the bible to backup their views when they don't realize the bible says the opposite and they don't even know it. searchable bible online www.biblegateway.com/ www.dailykos.com/stories/2014/3/19/1285933/-Bible-Life-Begins-at-Breath-Not-Conception
Because most "theists" don't actually know their own Bible... They cherry pick the bits that they like and leave the rest. Namely the Old Testament... And a lot of them, like this angry individual, are clearly messed up! Having the audacity to believe that their religion dictates the fate of the WHOLE of Humanity! I mean there were plenty of much older, much more established Civilizations kicking about, who were completely unaware of this very Middle Eastern phenomenon of Judaism! So how do THEY fit into the picture? The answer is that they don't! Judaism / Christianity back then, only had a direct impact on a very small part of the world. And it was thanks to Roman conversation to Christianity, along with its brutal conquests why Christianity spread through Europe like a plague.
@@samjones8332 Holy crap, that's a wall of pointless text. You have a completely wrong understanding of atheists. Why would an atheist not care about an extraordinary thing? An atheist would look into it and NOT conclude it must be a god since there is no other explanation. All things in our world didn't "plop" into existence, not an accident as rolling dice. I don't know why you guys always think that way. Earth had Millions and Billions of years to evolve. It's narrow thinking to believe there must be a god who did it. The god in the bible acts like a human with godlike power. It's just a collection of more or less historical stories. Actually ridiculous that so many people base their whole life on that without any real proof. Humans invented religion, it was a good thing for many people, but some humans used it to gain power and money. And it caused and still causes pointless wars, violence, mistrust and harms children and families. And you fall for it too.
@WTF Again? , Do you believe in gravity??? You cannot "see" it, but you feel it's effects, right??? Defy it and you will die. Now, you do understand we Catholics believe in a very "visible" GOD (Colossians 1:15-21) who walked among us, and whom impacted history so much that we determine time based off of His life (BC/AD), right??? Ultimately, what if someone could predict family lineage, how, when, where and the circumstances around your birth BEFORE your birth??? Would that be a mere "accident" to you or something "divine"??? Welcome to the logic, FACTS and TRUTH about Jesus Christ. How about 355 prophecies fulfilled??? www.accordingtothescriptures.org/prophecy/353prophecies.html The "odds" of a "man" fulfilling all these prophecies and resurrecting from the dead are about the same mathematical odds of this "cause and effect" universe happening by "accident". What are the mathematical odds of just fulfilling "8" prophecies let alone 355??? czcams.com/video/Za_eBcMsYl8/video.html

When I started watching the Atheist Experience I wasn't an Atheist. The more I watched the more I came to understand what being an Atheist was about. But what really caused my conversion were the Theist callers. Their questions and statements made me question my "faith" more than anything the host said. Their lack of knowledge to support their claims was shocking.
@Stacy Caruso The hosts will often make the point that it doesn't matter who calls them, the arguments are always the same and don't hold up. They've had callers who thought they were extremely intelligent (but who were mostly fast talking). See czcams.com/video/cDmQINlntJ4/video.html for an example
Getting less skin cancer where there is lot of sun is advantageous and getting more vitamin D where there is little sun is also an advantage. Evolution is really simple. And sometimes the mutations are just neutral. Not sure what is so hard to understand for it.
@@NetAndyCz That's right. It's such a beautifully simple theory, and yet it explains the vast diversity and complexity all around us. Selective breeding - especially when applied intensively as in agricultural plants and animals, seeking to maximise desirable traits and minimise undesirable traits - is the evolutionary process exploited and accelerated to the point where it happens fast enough to be observable. How any Christian farmer, dog-breeder, etc., can deny evolution is ... inexplicable, because they're observing and applying the very process that they deny. Under natural circumstances, i.e. without human intervention, the same process occurs but in a slower and more haphazard fashion. individual plants and animals that possess traits which prove beneficial to them in their particular environment tend to fare better than those who lack those traits, so they're more likely to breed and have offspring who are likely to also possess the beneficial traits. It's summed up as "survival of the fittest", with "fittest" meaning "best adapted" in that context. The element of random mutation keeps new traits coming, both positive and negative, and new traits are either added to the mix or eliminated completely naturally, determined by whether the organism thrives or fails. It's incredibly simple, and no magical "god" ingredient is required :)
Then how do you explain Eskimos? They're Asian descent but have been there forever, but still have dark skin? I know you're right but was just wondering.
His hair loss is gods punishment for non-belief. Checkmate atheist. So, all you heathens better repent before god floods the world with baldness. He who repents will go to heaven and receive the most luxurious full head of hair god can bestow upon mankind, oh yeah, and salvation too.
It drives me *nuts* when apologists claim slavery back in biblical times wasn't anything like American slavery. As if Spartacus revolted because he was an indentured servant. As if gladiators didn't fight to the death in the arenas because they had a choice. Fucking historical revisionists.
+TheCurmudgeon it is actually taught to them in church, a way to make the bible seem more humane, but when i bring up that the biblee says go buy your slaves from the country around you, they do not have an answer for that
The more I watch these types of videos the more I learn about the bible but the irony is, the atheists are teaching me , not the religious zealots. Keep up the good work
Why does it matter that the guy is bringing up only black and whites for his example. It does not matter that he is using blacks and black or whites or white and green or white on pink. It seems you people always get to eventually incite someone as being racist or what or as stupid for bringing up their point. What the guy there probably were getting at is the what same question that stumped Dawkins awhile back in a video, about the transmutation of the animal genome to the human genome; and where is the example that represents the Atheist claim, to where more information is sufficed about. Either way it were pretty hilarious watching Dawkins worm his way about the whole question. I don't know why the better form of ignorance always suffices its self in the form of calling someone a racist, just for asking questions there. Atheism is all about racism, by the relativism it promotes. Your motif about things promotes no diversity at all. Do as thou wilt. It is all cut from Satanism in its oh main format. You cannot have evolution any other way, oh other than in Satanism, etc. You all are the worst of the racism. Because you are willing to lie to prove your point across in intellectual dishonesty. Our DNA would show the break from animal to human. But there has never been one good piece of information, where one could here cite that humanity came from animals and or fish or trees or whatelse that you great wealth of there preponderates need to source and site and eventually source and prove your observation. There should be millions upon millions of transitioned Man/Ape skeletons about if we came from apes etc. But science has not shown us one as of yet here. Go to, thewhitepurenote.blogspot.com, read a book by a Christian Logician.
@@therooster2526 Faith is a realm of ignorance, there is no truth or wisdom to be found in such a place. The path to truth is littered with the bodies of the ignorant and the path to atheist is littered with bibles. Free yourself from the fear of god for this fear only exists within the realm of ignorance. If there was credible evidence for the existence of god faith would not be required, period. You can try and twist it any way you want, it is what it is. That is why the numbers of the faithful are in rapid decline. Religion and god can't stand on it's own merits in a modern time of science and knowledge.
Surely the conclusion of evolution should be the opposite of racism, we are all related, and the colour of your skin shouldn't be seen as any different than having different coloured eyes.
I kind of wish that these guys had given him the scientific answer for gradients of skin color. It all comes down to your body's attempts to balance sun damage prevention against Vitamin D production. We need Vitamin D, and in order to get it, we need to absorb sunlight. But on the other hand, absorbing sunlight can damage the skin. Depending on where you live, you need to have just the right amount of melanin (pigment) in your skin so that you won't suffer too much sun damage and can still absorb enough sunlight to produce Vitamin D. So in environments where there is an abundance of sunlight, like Northern and Central Africa, it's better if the skin produces a lot of melanin; there is so much sun that they need to block most of it, and will not lack for Vitamin D in the process. The end result is darker skin. But in areas where there is less sunlight like Scandinavia, the skin cells can't afford to block the sun as much because then Vitamin D deficiency could become a problem, and since sun damage isn't as much of a danger, it's better if less melanin is produced. The end result is lighter skin. This is not a question of which race is inferior or superior, but a question of what kind of environment each skin color is best suited to. But EVEN THEN because of our modern capabilities the question is moot; white people living in sunny regions can wear sunscreen, and black people living in darker regions can take Vitamin D supplements. Biologically speaking, our differences are irrelevant even when you do account for location. Everybody wins.
prospectus yes, it absolutely is more complicated just as you describe. Of course you must understand that the assumption I'm making here is that the overwhelming majority of people reading this are going to be laymen, and so I kept this at a rudimentary level, not as an entirely comprehensive and thorough exploration of how race works (come on, is this a CZcams comment or a biology textbook), but rather as small piece of the puzzle. Merely using the geographic distribution of populations according to melanin concentration as an illustrative example of how natural selection among humans is being misinterpreted by the creationist in the video. The point isn't to make a biologist of everyone that reads it, but to make a case for why evolution (again, at the layman's level) wields explanatory power in conversations about race without actually arriving at racist conclusions, as a creationist would have us believe.
I have read studies that say this melanin has more to do with the amount of sunlight rather than temperature. But, obviously the most powerful sunlight is in the tropics.
The worst part about this is 'William' will go away claiming victory. He'll say they got angry because they couldn't answer his question or something along those lines, and interpret that as 'proof' he was right. The religious have this wonderful ability to interpret things solely to suit themselves. But then, that's how religion works, isn't it? Denial of facts, denial of reality, everything based on faith and interpretation.
@David Mullis All homo sapiens that exist are descended from black homo sapiens. Homo sapiens originated in Africa, and only when humans emigrated outside of Africa did we begin to become less dark. And Artimus is right, a lot of non-African humans that currently exist have Neanderthal DNA mixed in with the homo sapiens DNA.
He should have been asked: "what makes a brown cat more evolved than a red one?" Maybe this could have had helpe him to understand the stupidity of his question...
Dark skin was first. Lighter skin is a recent mutation. Regardless, the caller tried to divert the conversation to a racist direction. Thanks Matt for not letting him take it there.
We all started off with darker skin, some of us migrated away from the equator, less pigment in the skin allows more sunlight absorption for the production of vitamin D, these lighter skin people survived better and had children thats how we got lighter skin
I'm white (European decent, German to be more precise, first generation Australian on my fathers side, blah blah blah), but evolution has failed me. My body doesn't convert vitamin D from the suns rays, so I need a lot of vitamin D supplements. Anyway... yes, that is basically the way it works. It's not like one is more evolved than the other, or that it's a meaningless change, but we changed based on different environmental pressures. It's as simple as that, but the guy that called in to the show obviously failed basic high school biology. ^_^
Thats a little coincidental, im first gen australian for my mums side, which come from the UK and europe, and my dads side has roots in austria a couple hundred years back
azsxdcfvgbhnjmhn O_O My dads side in Germany has been traced back (under the same name, direct line) to the 1200s, moved to Aus after WWII. We even had a town that was named for us, and our own church (yeah, I know... scary). We've just recently been tracing back the family line, and it's a pretty tight family tree on my dads side, with most males of the family that carried the name only having one or two children. Got hold of the family crest recently too, and it shows that we were high nobles, a step under royalty... once upon a time. We're a long way from that now though, lol. And yes, my grandfather on my dads side served in WWII under the Nazis, but he was only a radio operator. Before anyone asks, I'm not sharing my family name to strangers online. I still thought it might be interesting though.
i dont know to much about our history but ive been told we moved from austria to england and then got sent over on convict ships for stealing food or something, wish i could find out more but dont know where to look
azsxdcfvgbhnjmhn Ancestry.com is usually a good place to start. That's what my dad and brother have been using to track down a lot of family members. I haven't used it myself, but you can apparently get birth, death, and marriage records through them... although the problem is that some may be in other languages, and my German is very limited. There is a cost, but I've been told the first month is free. A good friend of mine has recently started using the site too, and he's even found out that one of his ancestors over 100 years ago got a divorce, and the reasons why (wife cheated while the husband was off at war, had a baby as a result... it was reasonably detailed). ...not that I'm here to advertise the site :P Hope that helps. Oh, and no stealing, I don't know where you'll be sent to from here if they catch you. ^_^
Lighter skin also helps us keep the heat in as we moved north. Dark colors radiate more heat. And our noses changed a little to allow northeners to heat the air up better before it reaches the lungs, as I've understood it. I've also heard it's got something to do with different humidity.
Well yes, although the whole subject is a lot more complicated than that. Populations travel, disperse, interbreed. And don't forget that even during the lifetime of what we now call humanity, the continents have drifted, and have been subject to constant climate change. Scotland was once on the equator, for example. So all this talk about UV solar lighting, vitamin D etc, is only part of the story. Can't believe the stupidity of the caller.
Shorey: not just cold, but also dark. Eskimos, Innuit, are often darker-skinned than Europeans. Because it's brighter there with lots of reflected light and fewer gray days.
@smith lovy Melanin is beneficial to a degree. Being exposed to the sun is necessary for the body to "create" vitamin D, lack of melanin helps to make easier to synthetize vitamin D, and that's why different skin tones are present today.
There's even a name for it: Divine Command Theory. And it actually goes back to Socrates, well before Christianity. I'm paraphrasing, but in Meno he writes about whether "a thing is loved by the Gods because it is holy, or holy because it is loved by the Gods."
Conor Corrigan That is easy. It's what's good for yourself and society as a whole. We have learned that it is preferable to not hurts others, we have learned that pleasure is preferable to pain, and quite a number of other things. Don't try to make this out to be something mystical, because it just isn't (although this last comment isnt directed at you but Steven McDoughnut)
it's astounding how many excuses religious people will make to deny their religion's evil, twisted views....tap dancing around the issues with excuses like context, time period or some new covenant making the old testament useless, none of which actually mean anything and none of which take away from the sheer savage medieval brutality of the bible
Jesus did not change the law. But he came so that we longer had to follow the law to be saved. That doesn't mean we can run around and do whatever we want, in fact, it's impossible to obey the law. God knows that. When you accept Jesus, you receive the Holy Spirit, which helps you not to break the law - something humanly impossible to do. Jesus also serves as the final sacrifice for all sin - which is why Christians don't have to slaughter animals. If someone does not follow the law, they are not truly a Christian, and therefore are a "hypocrite". No real Christ follower is a hypocrite, only those who say they love Christ, but in reality are only in it for the "get out of hell free card". I love Jesus as a bride loves a husband. If she loves him, she will do what he asks, not because he demands it, but because she genuinely wants to make him happy. In turn, Jesus, as the perfect bridegroom, will not make ridiculous requests nor will he beat his bride. If I went into it just for heaven I would be like a golddigger - I'd be marrying a husband only for his money, and having nothing to do with the fact that I actually love Him.
Paul Warburg Wow a no true Scotsman fallacy with a side of creepy descriptions of your relationship with your "husband", Jesus. Thanks for the inadvertent awkward humor. Just do not let them stone you for a love you can not consummate. You do remember your groom beat a fig tree for not providing fruit out of season When he comes home drunk and angry don't blame me. I tried to warn you.
It really shows how much better these guys know the bible than most of the religious guys. Then again, I suppose it's pretty common when you have to answer the question "why don't you believe in god/bible?"
And therefore they can twist it and deceiver the unlearned Christian. Unlearned Christians are sitting ducks for these vultures. I am not unlearned and expose them with ease as evil deceivers
You haven't managed to expose the square root of sod all so far. You HAVE made lots of claims of being able to expose things and destroy atheist arguments, but having debated you a few times, I just haven't seen it. If you claim to be "not unlearned", start by working out the fundamental difference between "deceive" and "deceiver".
You fail at the first hurdle Strengthinweakness1. Not a promising start. Atheism is the rejection of the theist claim that a God exists, because Theists have not met the burden of proof. If you claim that any God exists then the onus is on you to provide reasonable support for that claim. Until you do, it is not rational to believe it. I now invite the mighty Strengthinweakness1 to support the claim that a God exists, since your putting yourself up against atheism, which is only the rejection of the god claim.
We all evolved from teh Jebus. He turned water into bread or soemthing and from there evolution started with the 11 wise men, and each race came from one wise man or something. All God's work. It says that in Wayne 45:76 in teh Bible. The Bible is true because it says so in the Bible. Actually, I'm feeling a little confused. I'm going for a lie down.
Is this caller serious? Black and White aren't seperate evolutionary lines. We all started as black (originating in Africa) but as we migrated further north (or south for the southern Hemosphere) we had to adapt to the colder environments that experienced less sunlight. Black skin needs A LOT of sunlight to produce vitamin D (Energy) so places like Africa are great for that purpose and it's also why people are darker-skinned closer to the equator. However, White skin don't need as much sunlight so as we settled in lands with little sunlight, we Evolved/Changed/Adapted, whichever you prefer, to need less sunlight in order to prosper. This is so basic knowledge I'm amazed he don't even know. Sometimes I wish the hosts would just tell them these things instead of playing around with them.
The caller(william) is yet another example of how religion in general, and christianity in particular creates ignorant and immoral bigots. :O/ Katalyzt
Proving the theory of Evolution wrong, doesn't change the fact that Evolution exists. Proving Evolution doesn't exist, doesn't prove a God. Proving there is a God, doesn't prove is your God. Proving is your God, doesn't prove your view of it is the right one.
JOHNSON DAILY I think there is enough evidence for God. He shows himself through near death experiences, healings, and testimonies from people around the world. God bless
@@rodt9779 Yup. all of those are unverifiable evidence, and as such, should be dismissed by any rational means. The problem with testimonies is that people can lie, forget, or confuse their own expirience with something else, specially if they are biased into thinking its a supernatural event from the begining.
Bob Rabbins I agree I didn’t show much evidence in my original post so I will do that now... Near death experiences There are a few reasons we know NDE’s are not just hallucinations or dreams and are in fact proof of a spiritual world. According to the worlds largest study of NDEs from Southampton university people have recorded conversations and other details accurately while they are brain dead. This simply isn’t possible with a hallucination. Also people have seen Jesus in completely different cultures without ever hearing about him. This isn’t possible with a hallucination showing the possibility of a spiritual world Healings People have been cured of cancer, blindness, deafness and many more diseases. These are scientifically proven to have taken place, however, they are not repeatable in experiments I will get to this later. We don’t see other Gods performing these healings in the scale the Jesus does though highlighting Jesus as the one true God. You can’t heal missing limb because they are already missing. Testimonies Again like i said earlier people have had visions and experiences from completely different cultures. Also you have brought up ufo sightings but I do t know if you know this but it is common knowledge in the alien abduction community that saying Jesus’s name will immediately stop the experience showing that the aliens are just demons. Also this is shown in sleep paralysis. The only way to stop sleep paralysis right away is using Jesus’s name. I do believe most other testimonies that claim to see other Gods too. God even says you shall worship no other Gods before me which highlights the existence of other Gods. The reason Christianity is the one true religion is because only Jesus and God have been shown to have more power Ofer the various other Gods. Logic There is a reason most of these experiences are personal and let me explain. The reason God can’t outright prove himself scientifically would be to keep free will. If we knew 100% God existed without any thought that would remove free will because we wouldn’t have the option to not choose to not believe in God. However we can know 100% God exists if we humbly seek him. I promise you within the next week that you will see God if you humbly seek him. The reason people and even atheists (like myself) convert to Christianity isn’t because of evidence but rather God shows himself to us. I know God exists as much as I know my mom exists Message The reason we need Jesus is because we are all sinners. We have all lied stolen and broken the other commandments. If we tried to get into heaven based on our works we would fail every time. This is why Jesus died on the cross for us. He took the punishment for our sins so we could legally enter heaven and not be sent to hell. God loves you and will welcome you into his kingdom at anytime. God bless.
Why do some cats have white fur and others black fur. Its just variation. We have no problem understanding they are both cats but for some reason different 'races' confuses people. You can call white and black cats different races but that would be stupid. its just variation in a species...just as hair and eye color.
that is an evolutionary mechanism. Species that use the same ecological niche are competitors for the same ressources. So the more similar two species are the more aggression comes into play. cause it's a feature of evolution that the same ecological niche can not be used by the two different species (when they are in the same region). So when ever the differences between two races are high enough to cross the line from where the individuals start to see somebody that does not belong to their race or species anymore, they start to exclude the others from their society. Btw this explains also why the hate against asian people never was as extreme as against blacks. because the obvious skin color and very different culture are easily recognizeble for our brain where as asian eyes are not. It's an ancient mechanism to ensure we stay the dominating species in our ecological niche
Caucasians and asians actually have dna from homo-neanderthalensis, and (in the case of asiatic races, they have dna from both) homo denisovans. There's also a good possibility that the original humans of either of the three species were neither white, or black, that our skin colors are simply later adaptations/mutations. The differences between races are a little bit more complex than the color variations in cats.. though this caller was bringing this up as a front for religious beliefs, and was as ignorant of the subject as the average person. Don't take my word for it though, do some research. There were black light and dark skinned early homo-sapiens, homo-neanderthalensis, and homo-denisovans, just as there are light and dark skinned chimpanzees and bonobos. The issue with this topic is that both sides of the argument are often operating from self bias, or the intention of finding evidence to support what they think is equality and fairness.
evolution is based on advantages .. its an advantage to have black skin in areas around the equator to protect you from UV radiation , the further north or south you go from the equator it becomes an advantage to have paler and paler skin to be able to produce Vit D .. natural selection/evolution is based on tiny advantages that allow you to survive just that little better . You have six kids , five survive because you are equipped for the conditions ,someone else has 6 kids but 3 die before they reach 10 yeas old because they are not so well equipped for the conditions.. at this point you have a genetic advantage
I've heard this dodge before. Problem is they still keep trying to get the Ten Commandments displayed in schools, courthouses, and other public spaces. As long as the cavalcade of immorality in their holey book keeps getting pushed on us they get to own all the shit in it. Anything less makes them look like the dogmatic dumbfucks that they are.
And yet... the god of the bible changes throughout the bible. WIth a major one between the 'old' and 'new' sections. Source: I've read it, unlike most Xtians - who simply regurgitate excerpts given to them by preachers.
I'm stunned that so many theists have not read, nor understood, their own holy book! Time and again, they do not admit to the atrocities written into their bible, or even worse, attempt to justify them...truly amazing!
I'm a Christian, but let me answer. I'm only like 5 minutes into the video, but here's how it happens. 1) Selective pressures. More sunlight means you get more vitamin D. Problem with this is you get Cancer easier. So people with a mutation that increased the melanin levels in the skin allowed those people to live longer, thus have more babies. So around the equator, where you need protection from skin, you have people are selectively favored if they have darker skin. This means less cancer. Unfortunately, this also blocks the amount of vitamin D you absorb. The good thing is that you get more sunlight, so they still got plenty of vitamin D. 2) Now, if you look at the people that move further north, the need for cancer protection lessened because of less direct sunlight. Also, you get less un further north, so you NEED more light to get more vitamin D. So now you see where selective pressures further north means that you need less melanin, thus lighter skin, so that you get more vitamin D. 3) The exception to this are the inuits. People that live very far north, yet still have dark skin. So they will get less Vitamin D from the sun because they have darker skin. BUT.... they have a diet that is rich in vitamin D from the fish and such that they eat. So, the selective pressures for need from Vitamin D didn't put pressure to evolve lighter skin. Remember, evolution doesn't have a goal. It's just a series of mutations, and some are favorable. Some mutations are more favorable than non-mutations. Those are selected, and those people live longer and have more babies, thus the mutations are further perpetuated. pretty simple really.
Great answer and exactly how I understand this as well. Now, answer the other question: When is owning another person as property you can pass down to your sons morally justifiable?
emptyhand777 funny isn’t it how the mind partitions rational thinking ! like a consideration of genetic factors due to environmental changes and then throws all that out of the window to state a religious belief
@Bob Rabbins I know, the kind of slavery where you might survive several days after your master nearly beat you within an inch of your life. Oh those were the days, eh?
The "covenant" was also only between the "deity" and Jewish MEN. Women were not included in the religion. No wonder the whole book is so unjust, murderous and misogynistic!!
Let's get one thing straight. All the people of the earth had black ancestors. This is because humans evolved in the Great Rift Valley of East Africa about 160 to 200 thousand years ago, and spread out across the world from there. This means we are all of African Heritage, even those that evolved a lighter skin tone in order to synthesize more vitamin D when inhabiting areas of the planet where sunlight was weaker. This includes the Chinese, some of whom like to think their ethnicity evolved independently, but genetics have shown this to be nonsense. They didn't. Chinese are just as African as the rest of us.
Y'alls dont unnerstand! We wuz all tha same till god dun split us up at the Tower of Babble! That's wen we dun got wite pepul, blak pepul, an Ashin pepul! How kin ya not see that maeks more cents then evolushun!
Paula Catlover whatever color they were, we were the same color. there is a good documentary where a guy traveled the world taking dna samples. it showed the greatest diversity was in africa. there can be more diversity between two africans than between a white person and an asian. or an american indian or a person from india. the best chance to evolve a new line of humans would be to isolate africa and wait 100,000 years.

Hell yeah...My hero!!!!!! Matt I haven't seen this in awhile and when I watched this again it was even better than the first time.......Thank's, you ol' god less heathen.
Heavier evolutionary pressures as man migrated north forced a diversification from the original population. That simple sentence could have ended the whole "debate". It was fun to hear the rant, though.
Also, stating that one group cannot be "more evolved" is incorrect. If a group more closely represents the original group that both populations originated from, does it not stand to reason that that group could be called "less evolved"?
AFDozerman You are right. Your phrase "If a group more closely represents the original group" doesn't make any sense because it has never been proven what color the original group had i.e. nobody knows if the original ape (or apes) was blue, black, pink or even albino.
AFDozerman That sentence wouldn't have ended the conversation because William is a moron focused on "race", which is simply a superficial, cosmetic thing that only other humans really care about at all and if you really look at it, the only people that truly care, tend to be racist. He seemed to be trying to imply that black and white people were a different species, which is asinine. We wouldn't be able to interbreed if we weren't the same species. Why else would it matter what pigmentation another humans skin has? I've never understood why so many people are so focused on such a tiny, trivial thing as skin pigmentation. It's so incredibly ignorant... People seriously need to get over the "race" issue, there is only one race/species and that is Homo Sapiens.
AFDozerman There isn't an organism on Earth that is more evolved than another. "More evolved" is a subjective term. Evolution merely describes the current genetic makeup of organisms vs prior generations. If one group evolves less protection from the sun than another, making them less alike to the original group than the other, that doesn't make them "more evolved." If anything it could be argued that they'd be less evolved. But again, there is no such thing as more or less evolved. Every organism on Earth is 100% evolved.
If organism 'A' has accumilated more benificial mutations over a set ammount of time since it and organisim 'B' diverged from 'C', can it not be said that A is more evolved than B?
Keep up the wonderful videos you do Matt! I so enjoy watching you destroy the idiots that call into your show! I would absolutely love to talk to you! One of these days I may call in just to say hey! Again my friend, thank you so much for what you do!! 🙌👏👍‼‼👍👏🙌
Class 8 Biology 1)More Production of Melamin darker the skin. 2)More closer to the equator more the production of melamin due to more direct sun rays. 3)Explains both sun tan and Black,Browns and whites. Pay attention in your class.
CampfireAddict same place. Darker skin in sunnier places so brown eyes do better in sunnier places as well. Blue eyes, hazel etc are a lack of melanin I believe or even a genetic defect so blue, hazel green eyes are actually inferior.
God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son". Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on ." God said, "No!". Abe said, "What?" God said, "You can do what you want Abe but the next time you see me comin' you better run!" Well Abe said, "Alright. Where you want this killin' done?" "Out on Highway 61!"
Fun fact: Biological race does not exist. The social perception of race is based on phenotypic traits and cultural factors. Genetically there is no indicator that defines race. We look a little different but genetically we're pretty indistinguishable.
@@davisbrown8679 #facts. Im meant the level of racism in America is making a lot of black people reconsider going back to segregation or Africa. Some white people seem to misunderstand morality or justice as if they need a holy book to tell them.
Skin pigmentation changed due to the migration from Africa to Europe over 100 of thousands of years . Skin had to lighten to produce vitamin D as the amount of UV light got weaker. Skeletons found in Europe have revealed bone disfigurement a form of rickets coursed by the lack of vitamin D. So migrating to different parts of the world has produced different skin colours. This also disagrees with creationists that everyone descended from Noha and his family As not enough time to give all the different skin colours.
roy douce Just like with Adam and Eve. I mean, we have Native Americans, Africans, Middle Eastern, South Asian, Central Asian and Japanese, Native Australian, and Caucasian. How can these vastly different skin pigments all come from Adam and Eve merely 6,000 years ago? Just like with merely two "kinds" of Cat, like a Cape Lion and a Scottish Fold, breed and create all the Felids. Yeah, such a well substantiated theory we all agree on. Right, haha. Creationists often state that "macro-evolution" doesn't happen because there are no new species being born. And they label new species as species that cannot mate with their parent species. And that's where they're wrong. All species within the same Genera (thus also including subspecies) can interbreed effortlessly. They may not all be fertile, but they can breed with species of the same Genus. And they claim two "kinds" of, for example, a Cat (Family: Felidae) were on the Ark and procreated all the Felids in the world today. From the Cape Lion to the Snow Leopard? From the Giant Cheetah to the Marbled Cat? So, they would argue that two mere organisms of similar Family would evolve into 199 Species and Subspecies of all Felids, not counting all the subspecies of the Felis Catus, the Domestic Cat. If I would add them the number of Species and Subspecies in the Felids would reach well over 300. The time it takes for a single group of Species to split up and evolve into several different subspecies would be possible in a few thousands years. But 4,000 years is still a very short period of time to breed all those Species and Subspecies. Well, if mankind helped a bit, like we did with the Domestic Cat, we'd easily have over a thousand different Subspecies of all Felidae. I mean, the main reason why there are so many Domestic Cats is because we bred them for our desires. And perhaps also because the Egyptians saw them as divine creatures. Hm, perhaps religion has its good uses. Without their religion, cats would probably never have been domesticated. If we'd do the same to the five Subspecies of the Lion, and we'd domestive them, we could also create new Subspecies into the hundreds. That would render them helpless in the wild, though. A Domestic Cat set loose in the wild has very little survival chances. But if Creationists argue that a single pair of Felids/Cats is enough to produce the fifteen Genera of Felids we have today, with well over 199 Species and Subspecies *in the wild*, with only 4,000 years of time, I really need to grasp onto a lot of faith to believe that. And this is just an example of a Family that has very few Genera. Take Bees for example, there are easily a hundred Genera alone. And each Genus has easily a dozen Species (some even over a hundred Species like the Andrena Genus). There are easily over 20,000 different Species and Subspecies of Bees. That's easy to understand when you know that a Bee is not a Genus, or Family. Bee is actually a Clade between Order and Family. So Creationists are going to tell me that Noah only brought, what, two bees aboard his Ark? Two bees that created the 25,000 different Species and Subspecies within just 4,000 years? And them YEC's with their kinds and preaching that animals only breed after their own kind and blablabla. Not denying a God here, but what they're preaching is proven to be wrong. If each kind only bred after its own kind, then how come not all (very few actually) are able to breed with bees from different Families? Oh yeah, that's because your pseudo science can't explain that. That's why we resort to the accepted and proven mainstream science that gives us medication, space shuttles, hoverboards, vaccines, jet engines, water turbines, a freaking particle accelerator, .... Wow, just realised how much I've just written.
I am not near the scientist I'd like to be. (I am engineer, however, if that means anything.) I know I am not saying all of this exactly correct, but . . . Diversity in species is influenced by, among others, climate. The idea is that black people became black due to the environment in which they lived: Very bright, hot, and arid. They wore little clothes due to the heat. Bodies became taller and thinner to reduce the amount of sunlight striking it. The hair became thick and kinky to shield the scalp from the sun's harmful rays. Pigmentation became dark in order to alleviate the amount of nutrition (I think it is vitamin K??) entering the body. Conversely, those humans who migrated north to colder, foggier areas developed shorter wider bodies in order to collect more sunlight. The skin lost pigmentation for the same reason since they were wearing much more clothes due to the colder temperatures. Why would you need hair if you always wore a hat? Asians developed fat around the eyes. It helps protect the eyes from the extreme cold. It also assists them in squinting when staring across the bright snow-white planes of the tundra. Anyway, I got all of this from Discovery Channel, and they did a MUCH better job explaining it than I did. p.s. - Matt Dillahunty - I LOVE your shows!! ALL of the hosts are just spectacular. Thanks for what you do. FINALLY!! A branch of intelligence to which to cling. It's refreshing!
If we came out of Africa then I would imagine that our ancestors were black skinned, as some humans moved away from Africa to cooler less sunny climates so over time the black skin gradually turned lighter.
- Skin color is one of the most superficial changes we can possibly undergo. So while the different races did have a period of generally isolated and separate evolution (which is now coming to an end), it was not long enough for anything more than merely superficial changes if that is the only clear difference we really have. Also, there are probably not many human populations, tribal or otherwise, where intelligence would not be evolutionarily advantageous. Sure, some ethnic groups seem "built" for a purpose, like long distance running, or have more large, over-muscled phenotypes than your average human population, but in no population has being smart ever been anything other than an advantage. Why would any population ever get statistically dumber than any other?
- I guess I did neglect one group. Lack of intelligence IS rewarded by most churches, so is rampant reproduction. By that metric, they are probably decreasing their average intelligence faster than any other group!
I love when Matt demonstrates he knows the bible better than anyone calling in and he uses their own book against them.
Me too😂
it's actually not too hard if you learn and limit the conversation. Start learning by finding an online bible with search capability and find any references to your chosen topic were christians are hypocritical. read up as much as possible, then Go find a comment related and start taking them apart. They will try to deflect to something else, but don't let them. Stay on topic, or at least limit it to areas you know.
An example is when life begins. Many christians will claim life begins with conception, therefore abortion is murder. But the Bibles says life begins with first breath in many places. It also outlines the penalty for harming someone vs. causing a woman to miscarry and treats it more like a lose of property. The Bible describes a christian ritual to abort an unborn child if the husband believes it isn't his that involves the mother being given bitter water by a priest. I recommend you read related articles too before starting.
Do I believe the extreme view that abortion should be legal up to first breath? of course not, but I don't think the opposite extreme of no abortions even in cases of rape or danger to the mother's health is right either. I'm not arguing the right or wrong of it as much as I'm arguing their hypocrisy of using the bible to backup their views when they don't realize the bible says the opposite and they don't even know it.

@Viktor Tandofsky Misinforming? Religions are different, sure, but the Bible says what it says.
Because most "theists" don't actually know their own Bible... They cherry pick the bits that they like and leave the rest. Namely the Old Testament... And a lot of them, like this angry individual, are clearly messed up! Having the audacity to believe that their religion dictates the fate of the WHOLE of Humanity!
I mean there were plenty of much older, much more established Civilizations kicking about, who were completely unaware of this very Middle Eastern phenomenon of Judaism! So how do THEY fit into the picture? The answer is that they don't! Judaism / Christianity back then, only had a direct impact on a very small part of the world. And it was thanks to Roman conversation to Christianity, along with its brutal conquests why Christianity spread through Europe like a plague.

You have a completely wrong understanding of atheists. Why would an atheist not care about an extraordinary thing? An atheist would look into it and NOT conclude it must be a god since there is no other explanation.
All things in our world didn't "plop" into existence, not an accident as rolling dice. I don't know why you guys always think that way.
Earth had Millions and Billions of years to evolve. It's narrow thinking to believe there must be a god who did it. The god in the bible acts like a human with godlike power. It's just a collection of more or less historical stories. Actually ridiculous that so many people base their whole life on that without any real proof.
Humans invented religion, it was a good thing for many people, but some humans used it to gain power and money. And it caused and still causes pointless wars, violence, mistrust and harms children and families.
And you fall for it too.
@WTF Again? ,
Do you believe in gravity??? You cannot "see" it, but you feel it's effects, right??? Defy it and you will die.
Now, you do understand we Catholics believe in a very "visible" GOD (Colossians 1:15-21) who walked among us, and whom impacted history so much that we determine time based off of His life (BC/AD), right???
Ultimately, what if someone could predict family lineage, how, when, where and the circumstances around your birth BEFORE your birth??? Would that be a mere "accident" to you or something "divine"???

When I started watching the Atheist Experience I wasn't an Atheist. The more I watched the more I came to understand what being an Atheist was about. But what really caused my conversion were the Theist callers. Their questions and statements made me question my "faith" more than anything the host said. Their lack of knowledge to support their claims was shocking.

@Stacy Caruso The hosts will often make the point that it doesn't matter who calls them, the arguments are always the same and don't hold up. They've had callers who thought they were extremely intelligent (but who were mostly fast talking). See czcams.com/video/cDmQINlntJ4/video.html for an example

Skin pigmentation changes in response to climate and how intense the sun is in a given area.
Getting less skin cancer where there is lot of sun is advantageous and getting more vitamin D where there is little sun is also an advantage. Evolution is really simple. And sometimes the mutations are just neutral. Not sure what is so hard to understand for it.
@@NetAndyCz That's right. It's such a beautifully simple theory, and yet it explains the vast diversity and complexity all around us.
Selective breeding - especially when applied intensively as in agricultural plants and animals, seeking to maximise desirable traits and minimise undesirable traits - is the evolutionary process exploited and accelerated to the point where it happens fast enough to be observable. How any Christian farmer, dog-breeder, etc., can deny evolution is ... inexplicable, because they're observing and applying the very process that they deny.
Under natural circumstances, i.e. without human intervention, the same process occurs but in a slower and more haphazard fashion. individual plants and animals that possess traits which prove beneficial to them in their particular environment tend to fare better than those who lack those traits, so they're more likely to breed and have offspring who are likely to also possess the beneficial traits. It's summed up as "survival of the fittest", with "fittest" meaning "best adapted" in that context.
The element of random mutation keeps new traits coming, both positive and negative, and new traits are either added to the mix or eliminated completely naturally, determined by whether the organism thrives or fails.
It's incredibly simple, and no magical "god" ingredient is required :)
Then how do you explain Eskimos? They're Asian descent but have been there forever, but still have dark skin? I know you're right but was just wondering.

That was going on years before Darwin published Origin.
Christians do that a lot.
Why does it matter that the guy is bringing up only black and whites for his example. It does not matter that he is using blacks and black or whites or white and green or white on pink. It seems you people always get to eventually incite someone as being racist or what or as stupid for bringing up their point. What the guy there probably were getting at is the what same question that stumped Dawkins awhile back in a video, about the transmutation of the animal genome to the human genome; and where is the example that represents the Atheist claim, to where more information is sufficed about. Either way it were pretty hilarious watching Dawkins worm his way about the whole question. I don't know why the better form of ignorance always suffices its self in the form of calling someone a racist, just for asking questions there.
Atheism is all about racism, by the relativism it promotes. Your motif about things promotes no diversity at all. Do as thou wilt. It is all cut from Satanism in its oh main format. You cannot have evolution any other way, oh other than in Satanism, etc. You all are the worst of the racism. Because you are willing to lie to prove your point across in intellectual dishonesty.
Our DNA would show the break from animal to human. But there has never been one good piece of information, where one could here cite that humanity came from animals and or fish or trees or whatelse that you great wealth of there preponderates need to source and site and eventually source and prove your observation.

If there was credible evidence for the existence of god faith would not be required, period. You can try and twist it any way you want, it is what it is. That is why the numbers of the faithful are in rapid decline. Religion and god can't stand on it's own merits in a modern time of science and knowledge.
Aborigine genocide started at 1790 and charles Darwin was born at 1809.
I always hate it when people use the "evolution leads to racism" argument.
Surely the conclusion of evolution should be the opposite of racism, we are all related, and the colour of your skin shouldn't be seen as any different than having different coloured eyes.
I kind of wish that these guys had given him the scientific answer for gradients of skin color.
It all comes down to your body's attempts to balance sun damage prevention against Vitamin D production. We need Vitamin D, and in order to get it, we need to absorb sunlight. But on the other hand, absorbing sunlight can damage the skin. Depending on where you live, you need to have just the right amount of melanin (pigment) in your skin so that you won't suffer too much sun damage and can still absorb enough sunlight to produce Vitamin D.
So in environments where there is an abundance of sunlight, like Northern and Central Africa, it's better if the skin produces a lot of melanin; there is so much sun that they need to block most of it, and will not lack for Vitamin D in the process. The end result is darker skin.
But in areas where there is less sunlight like Scandinavia, the skin cells can't afford to block the sun as much because then Vitamin D deficiency could become a problem, and since sun damage isn't as much of a danger, it's better if less melanin is produced. The end result is lighter skin.
This is not a question of which race is inferior or superior, but a question of what kind of environment each skin color is best suited to.
But EVEN THEN because of our modern capabilities the question is moot; white people living in sunny regions can wear sunscreen, and black people living in darker regions can take Vitamin D supplements. Biologically speaking, our differences are irrelevant even when you do account for location. Everybody wins.
I'm not sure if that's accurate, but it's very interesting!
kaizersolze look it up
looks pretty accurate to me
prospectus yes, it absolutely is more complicated just as you describe. Of course you must understand that the assumption I'm making here is that the overwhelming majority of people reading this are going to be laymen, and so I kept this at a rudimentary level, not as an entirely comprehensive and thorough exploration of how race works (come on, is this a CZcams comment or a biology textbook), but rather as small piece of the puzzle. Merely using the geographic distribution of populations according to melanin concentration as an illustrative example of how natural selection among humans is being misinterpreted by the creationist in the video. The point isn't to make a biologist of everyone that reads it, but to make a case for why evolution (again, at the layman's level) wields explanatory power in conversations about race without actually arriving at racist conclusions, as a creationist would have us believe.
prospectus yeah the whole "different ape" thing is just so ridiculous, I laughed out loud at that bit
melanin , simple answer, hot climates have more melanin , light skins in colder climates. a very general analogy .
you're welcome my friend. there are a lot of very ignorant people out there.
I have read studies that say this melanin has more to do with the amount of sunlight rather than temperature. But, obviously the most powerful sunlight is in the tropics.

@David Mullis you're right some of you were once neanderthals
@David Mullis All homo sapiens that exist are descended from black homo sapiens. Homo sapiens originated in Africa, and only when humans emigrated outside of Africa did we begin to become less dark.

you can feel in the tone of his voice instead of saying "Blacks" he was itching to say the n-word
The answer is a group of us moved into colder climates which made their skin lighter in order to absorb vitamin D from the sun
Correct
Not exactly. The amount of melanin in the skin is not linked to the cold. However, both are directly dependent on the amount of direct sunlight.
Perfect!
How is possible that I'm tall and my brother short if we came from the same parents?
Now, that's some bulletproof logic, right here
We all started off with darker skin, some of us migrated away from the equator, less pigment in the skin allows more sunlight absorption for the production of vitamin D, these lighter skin people survived better and had children
thats how we got lighter skin
I'm white (European decent, German to be more precise, first generation Australian on my fathers side, blah blah blah), but evolution has failed me. My body doesn't convert vitamin D from the suns rays, so I need a lot of vitamin D supplements. Anyway... yes, that is basically the way it works. It's not like one is more evolved than the other, or that it's a meaningless change, but we changed based on different environmental pressures. It's as simple as that, but the guy that called in to the show obviously failed basic high school biology. ^_^
Thats a little coincidental, im first gen australian for my mums side, which come from the UK and europe, and my dads side has roots in austria a couple hundred years back
azsxdcfvgbhnjmhn O_O
My dads side in Germany has been traced back (under the same name, direct line) to the 1200s, moved to Aus after WWII. We even had a town that was named for us, and our own church (yeah, I know... scary). We've just recently been tracing back the family line, and it's a pretty tight family tree on my dads side, with most males of the family that carried the name only having one or two children. Got hold of the family crest recently too, and it shows that we were high nobles, a step under royalty... once upon a time. We're a long way from that now though, lol. And yes, my grandfather on my dads side served in WWII under the Nazis, but he was only a radio operator.
Before anyone asks, I'm not sharing my family name to strangers online. I still thought it might be interesting though.
i dont know to much about our history but ive been told we moved from austria to england and then got sent over on convict ships for stealing food or something, wish i could find out more but dont know where to look
azsxdcfvgbhnjmhn Ancestry.com is usually a good place to start. That's what my dad and brother have been using to track down a lot of family members. I haven't used it myself, but you can apparently get birth, death, and marriage records through them... although the problem is that some may be in other languages, and my German is very limited. There is a cost, but I've been told the first month is free.
A good friend of mine has recently started using the site too, and he's even found out that one of his ancestors over 100 years ago got a divorce, and the reasons why (wife cheated while the husband was off at war, had a baby as a result... it was reasonably detailed).
...not that I'm here to advertise the site :P
Hope that helps. Oh, and no stealing, I don't know where you'll be sent to from here if they catch you. ^_^
We all started out black, the humans that moved away from the equator got lighter skin which helped them gain the vitamin D they needed from the sun.
Right. Life began in Africa, not Iceland.
Lighter skin also helps us keep the heat in as we moved north. Dark colors radiate more heat.
And our noses changed a little to allow northeners to heat the air up better before it reaches the lungs, as I've understood it. I've also heard it's got something to do with different humidity.
JOHN MENUIS he never said life began in africa
Well yes, although the whole subject is a lot more complicated than that. Populations travel, disperse, interbreed. And don't forget that even during the lifetime of what we now call humanity, the continents have drifted, and have been subject to constant climate change. Scotland was once on the equator, for example. So all this talk about UV solar lighting, vitamin D etc, is only part of the story.
Can't believe the stupidity of the caller.
You have to love when people think evolution is like a video game in which you level up over time.
Imagine how excited that one guy was when he turned white! LOL
It’s evolution, Pokemon style!
black people who stayed in Africa or hot areas needed melanin, Europeans didn't as it cold AF
Shorey how the fuck is this guy so dumb?
Shorey: not just cold, but also dark. Eskimos, Innuit, are often darker-skinned than Europeans. Because it's brighter there with lots of reflected light and fewer gray days.
Thought this was common sense. Wtf is wrong with this dude.
Sickle cell anemia is more common in black people too.... A mutation in a gene I think.
@smith lovy Melanin is beneficial to a degree. Being exposed to the sun is necessary for the body to "create" vitamin D, lack of melanin helps to make easier to synthetize vitamin D, and that's why different skin tones are present today.
Christians think that anything that God does is intrinsically good..
And that is why they fail
There's even a name for it: Divine Command Theory. And it actually goes back to Socrates, well before Christianity. I'm paraphrasing, but in Meno he writes about whether "a thing is loved by the Gods because it is holy, or holy because it is loved by the Gods."
Christians don't just think that anything that GOD does is intrinsically good they know what GOD does is intrinsically good. They did not fail.
Steven McDonough So who defines what is good then, if it isn't God, according to you?
Conor Corrigan That is easy. It's what's good for yourself and society as a whole. We have learned that it is preferable to not hurts others, we have learned that pleasure is preferable to pain, and quite a number of other things.
Don't try to make this out to be something mystical, because it just isn't (although this last comment isnt directed at you but Steven McDoughnut)

it's astounding how many excuses religious people will make to deny their religion's evil, twisted views....tap dancing around the issues with excuses like context, time period or some new covenant making the old testament useless, none of which actually mean anything and none of which take away from the sheer savage medieval brutality of the bible
No Old Testament? That would mean no Genesis>no original sin>no sacrificial loop-hole> no Jesus or New Testament.
Jesus did not change the law. But he came so that we longer had to follow the law to be saved. That doesn't mean we can run around and do whatever we want, in fact, it's impossible to obey the law. God knows that.
When you accept Jesus, you receive the Holy Spirit, which helps you not to break the law - something humanly impossible to do. Jesus also serves as the final sacrifice for all sin - which is why Christians don't have to slaughter animals. If someone does not follow the law, they are not truly a Christian, and therefore are a "hypocrite". No real Christ follower is a hypocrite, only those who say they love Christ, but in reality are only in it for the "get out of hell free card".
I love Jesus as a bride loves a husband. If she loves him, she will do what he asks, not because he demands it, but because she genuinely wants to make him happy. In turn, Jesus, as the perfect bridegroom, will not make ridiculous requests nor will he beat his bride. If I went into it just for heaven I would be like a golddigger - I'd be marrying a husband only for his money, and having nothing to do with the fact that I actually love Him.

It really shows how much better these guys know the bible than most of the religious guys. Then again, I suppose it's pretty common when you have to answer the question "why don't you believe in god/bible?"
And therefore they can twist it and deceiver the unlearned Christian. Unlearned Christians are sitting ducks for these vultures. I am not unlearned and expose them with ease as evil deceivers
You haven't managed to expose the square root of sod all so far. You HAVE made lots of claims of being able to expose things and destroy atheist arguments, but having debated you a few times, I just haven't seen it. If you claim to be "not unlearned", start by working out the fundamental difference between "deceive" and "deceiver".
Fluffykeith Present an atheist argument and be prepared to defend it
You fail at the first hurdle Strengthinweakness1. Not a promising start.
Atheism is the rejection of the theist claim that a God exists, because Theists have not met the burden of proof. If you claim that any God exists then the onus is on you to provide reasonable support for that claim. Until you do, it is not rational to believe it. I now invite the mighty Strengthinweakness1 to support the claim that a God exists, since your putting yourself up against atheism, which is only the rejection of the god claim.
strengthinweakness1 What the heck is an atheist argument?
Atheist: I don't believe in a god/gods.
Theist: I do believe in a god/gods.
Argument over.
We all evolved from teh Jebus. He turned water into bread or soemthing and from there evolution started with the 11 wise men, and each race came from one wise man or something. All God's work.

Hello my son.
Clear AF!!
Is this caller serious? Black and White aren't seperate evolutionary lines.
We all started as black (originating in Africa) but as we migrated further north (or south for the southern Hemosphere) we had to adapt to the colder environments that experienced less sunlight.
Black skin needs A LOT of sunlight to produce vitamin D (Energy) so places like Africa are great for that purpose and it's also why people are darker-skinned closer to the equator. However, White skin don't need as much sunlight so as we settled in lands with little sunlight, we Evolved/Changed/Adapted, whichever you prefer, to need less sunlight in order to prosper. This is so basic knowledge I'm amazed he don't even know.
Sometimes I wish the hosts would just tell them these things instead of playing around with them.
I don't accept the fact life started in Africa. It started in the Arctic

Bob Rabbins yeah true. Matt said even if Jesus was real he still wouldn’t worship and serve him
JOHNSON DAILY I think there is enough evidence for God. He shows himself through near death experiences, healings, and testimonies from people around the world. God bless
@@rodt9779 Yup. all of those are unverifiable evidence, and as such, should be dismissed by any rational means.
The problem with testimonies is that people can lie, forget, or confuse their own expirience with something else, specially if they are biased into thinking its a supernatural event from the begining.
Bob Rabbins I agree I didn’t show much evidence in my original post so I will do that now...
Near death experiences
There are a few reasons we know NDE’s are not just hallucinations or dreams and are in fact proof of a spiritual world. According to the worlds largest study of NDEs from Southampton university people have recorded conversations and other details accurately while they are brain dead. This simply isn’t possible with a hallucination. Also people have seen Jesus in completely different cultures without ever hearing about him. This isn’t possible with a hallucination showing the possibility of a spiritual world
Healings
People have been cured of cancer, blindness, deafness and many more diseases. These are scientifically proven to have taken place, however, they are not repeatable in experiments I will get to this later. We don’t see other Gods performing these healings in the scale the Jesus does though highlighting Jesus as the one true God. You can’t heal missing limb because they are already missing.
Testimonies
Again like i said earlier people have had visions and experiences from completely different cultures. Also you have brought up ufo sightings but I do t know if you know this but it is common knowledge in the alien abduction community that saying Jesus’s name will immediately stop the experience showing that the aliens are just demons. Also this is shown in sleep paralysis. The only way to stop sleep paralysis right away is using Jesus’s name. I do believe most other testimonies that claim to see other Gods too. God even says you shall worship no other Gods before me which highlights the existence of other Gods. The reason Christianity is the one true religion is because only Jesus and God have been shown to have more power Ofer the various other Gods.
Logic
There is a reason most of these experiences are personal and let me explain. The reason God can’t outright prove himself scientifically would be to keep free will. If we knew 100% God existed without any thought that would remove free will because we wouldn’t have the option to not choose to not believe in God. However we can know 100% God exists if we humbly seek him. I promise you within the next week that you will see God if you humbly seek him. The reason people and even atheists (like myself) convert to Christianity isn’t because of evidence but rather God shows himself to us. I know God exists as much as I know my mom exists
Message
The reason we need Jesus is because we are all sinners. We have all lied stolen and broken the other commandments. If we tried to get into heaven based on our works we would fail every time. This is why Jesus died on the cross for us. He took the punishment for our sins so we could legally enter heaven and not be sent to hell. God loves you and will welcome you into his kingdom at anytime. God bless.

Because he'd point out that the caller's "Darwin told people to kill Aboriginal Australians" example was _blatantly wrong._
Why do some cats have white fur and others black fur. Its just variation. We have no problem understanding they are both cats but for some reason different 'races' confuses people. You can call white and black cats different races but that would be stupid. its just variation in a species...just as hair and eye color.
Dark people need more sun to produce sufficient vitamin D. Pale people burn easily in hot climates & we came from Africa first.
This is called, "G E N E T I C M U T A T I O N S".
that is an evolutionary mechanism. Species that use the same ecological niche are competitors for the same ressources. So the more similar two species are the more aggression comes into play. cause it's a feature of evolution that the same ecological niche can not be used by the two different species (when they are in the same region). So when ever the differences between two races are high enough to cross the line from where the individuals start to see somebody that does not belong to their race or species anymore, they start to exclude the others from their society. Btw this explains also why the hate against asian people never was as extreme as against blacks. because the obvious skin color and very different culture are easily recognizeble for our brain where as asian eyes are not. It's an ancient mechanism to ensure we stay the dominating species in our ecological niche
Caucasians and asians actually have dna from homo-neanderthalensis, and (in the case of asiatic races, they have dna from both) homo denisovans. There's also a good possibility that the original humans of either of the three species were neither white, or black, that our skin colors are simply later adaptations/mutations. The differences between races are a little bit more complex than the color variations in cats.. though this caller was bringing this up as a front for religious beliefs, and was as ignorant of the subject as the average person. Don't take my word for it though, do some research. There were black light and dark skinned early homo-sapiens, homo-neanderthalensis, and homo-denisovans, just as there are light and dark skinned chimpanzees and bonobos. The issue with this topic is that both sides of the argument are often operating from self bias, or the intention of finding evidence to support what they think is equality and fairness.
A black-furred cat isn't statistically more likely to steal your wallet
evolution is based on advantages .. its an advantage to have black skin in areas around the equator to protect you from UV radiation , the further north or south you go from the equator it becomes an advantage to have paler and paler skin to be able to produce Vit D .. natural selection/evolution is based on tiny advantages that allow you to survive just that little better . You have six kids , five survive because you are equipped for the conditions ,someone else has 6 kids but 3 die before they reach 10 yeas old because they are not so well equipped for the conditions.. at this point you have a genetic advantage
I just commented the exact same thing 😂
@Wizzy ofc You clearly have no idea what the word 'theory' means in the scientific context.
The name, "New Testament" has nothing to do with a new covenant.
I've heard this dodge before. Problem is they still keep trying to get the Ten Commandments displayed in schools, courthouses, and other public spaces. As long as the cavalcade of immorality in their holey book keeps getting pushed on us they get to own all the shit in it. Anything less makes them look like the dogmatic dumbfucks that they are.
There is ownage, and then there is complete and utter disembowelment. Matt just did the latter to this stupid caller. Beautifully done.
Damn I got scared when Matt shouted "SHUT UP"
But I get the reaction. Hate when people want to talk, ask questions and wont even listen to the anwsers
"I don't see them evolving the same progression" he is a good example of someone who has a stunted rate of evolution....socially speaking of course.
I think the caller’s MAGA hat is too tight.
The Bible also says that "God does not change." So any change is automatically illogical.
And yet... the god of the bible changes throughout the bible.
WIth a major one between the 'old' and 'new' sections.
Source: I've read it, unlike most Xtians - who simply regurgitate excerpts given to them by preachers.
I'm stunned that so many theists have not read, nor understood, their own holy book!
Time and again, they do not admit to the atrocities written into their bible, or even worse, attempt to justify them...truly amazing!
You and the other two billion christians sometimes make me want to kill my self from the stupidity in your 'logic'
+Picklemaster77
ME and the other 2 billion christians?
Do you not understand sarcasm when you see it?
+Alistair Curmudgeon He does not understand
I'm a Christian, but let me answer. I'm only like 5 minutes into the video, but here's how it happens.
1) Selective pressures. More sunlight means you get more vitamin D. Problem with this is you get Cancer easier. So people with a mutation that increased the melanin levels in the skin allowed those people to live longer, thus have more babies. So around the equator, where you need protection from skin, you have people are selectively favored if they have darker skin. This means less cancer. Unfortunately, this also blocks the amount of vitamin D you absorb. The good thing is that you get more sunlight, so they still got plenty of vitamin D.
2) Now, if you look at the people that move further north, the need for cancer protection lessened because of less direct sunlight. Also, you get less un further north, so you NEED more light to get more vitamin D. So now you see where selective pressures further north means that you need less melanin, thus lighter skin, so that you get more vitamin D.
3) The exception to this are the inuits. People that live very far north, yet still have dark skin. So they will get less Vitamin D from the sun because they have darker skin. BUT.... they have a diet that is rich in vitamin D from the fish and such that they eat. So, the selective pressures for need from Vitamin D didn't put pressure to evolve lighter skin.
Remember, evolution doesn't have a goal. It's just a series of mutations, and some are favorable. Some mutations are more favorable than non-mutations. Those are selected, and those people live longer and have more babies, thus the mutations are further perpetuated.
pretty simple really.
Great answer and exactly how I understand this as well.
Now, answer the other question: When is owning another person as property you can pass down to your sons morally justifiable?
emptyhand777 funny isn’t it how the mind partitions rational thinking ! like a consideration of genetic factors due to environmental changes and then throws all that out of the window to state a religious belief
Of course he’s going to say slavery is okay with context, he believes there is a more advanced skin color. 🙄🙄🙄
@Bob Rabbins I know, the kind of slavery where you might survive several days after your master nearly beat you within an inch of your life. Oh those were the days, eh?
The "covenant" was also only between the "deity" and Jewish MEN. Women were not included in the religion. No wonder the whole book is so unjust, murderous and misogynistic!!
Let's get one thing straight. All the people of the earth had black ancestors. This is because humans evolved in the Great Rift Valley of East Africa about 160 to 200 thousand years ago, and spread out across the world from there. This means we are all of African Heritage, even those that evolved a lighter skin tone in order to synthesize more vitamin D when inhabiting areas of the planet where sunlight was weaker.
This includes the Chinese, some of whom like to think their ethnicity evolved independently, but genetics have shown this to be nonsense. They didn't. Chinese are just as African as the rest of us.
Y'alls dont unnerstand! We wuz all tha same till god dun split us up at the Tower of Babble! That's wen we dun got wite pepul, blak pepul, an Ashin pepul! How kin ya not see that maeks more cents then evolushun!
Pat Doyle I LoLed ^^^ :-D Nice work!
Paula Catlover Oh, but our human ancestors, all of 'em, were definitely black. Why? You don't have a PROBLEM with that, do you?
Paula, are you racist? It's only skin colour. Yes, they were black because they needed to be.
Paula Catlover whatever color they were, we were the same color.
there is a good documentary where a guy traveled the world taking dna samples. it showed the greatest diversity was in africa. there can be more diversity between two africans than between a white person and an asian. or an american indian or a person from india. the best chance to evolve a new line of humans would be to isolate africa and wait 100,000 years.
"I did both!" Damn! That was good.
Geography, depending on how much or how little sun our ancestors where exposed to!

Underground Gamer So what
@@americanpatriot8426 so you're a POS. What?
Heavier evolutionary pressures as man migrated north forced a diversification from the original population. That simple sentence could have ended the whole "debate". It was fun to hear the rant, though.
Also, stating that one group cannot be "more evolved" is incorrect. If a group more closely represents the original group that both populations originated from, does it not stand to reason that that group could be called "less evolved"?
AFDozerman
You are right.
Your phrase "If a group more closely represents the original group"
doesn't make any sense because it has never been proven what color the original group had i.e. nobody knows if the original ape (or apes) was blue, black, pink or even albino.
AFDozerman That sentence wouldn't have ended the conversation because William is a moron focused on "race", which is simply a superficial, cosmetic thing that only other humans really care about at all and if you really look at it, the only people that truly care, tend to be racist.
He seemed to be trying to imply that black and white people were a different species, which is asinine. We wouldn't be able to interbreed if we weren't the same species.
Why else would it matter what pigmentation another humans skin has?
I've never understood why so many people are so focused on such a tiny, trivial thing as skin pigmentation.
It's so incredibly ignorant...
People seriously need to get over the "race" issue, there is only one race/species and that is Homo Sapiens.
AFDozerman There isn't an organism on Earth that is more evolved than another. "More evolved" is a subjective term. Evolution merely describes the current genetic makeup of organisms vs prior generations. If one group evolves less protection from the sun than another, making them less alike to the original group than the other, that doesn't make them "more evolved." If anything it could be argued that they'd be less evolved. But again, there is no such thing as more or less evolved. Every organism on Earth is 100% evolved.
If organism 'A' has accumilated more benificial mutations over a set ammount of time since it and organisim 'B' diverged from 'C', can it not be said that A is more evolved than B?
This got to be the best of Matt's rants so far.

Wow I was tuned in
Skin pigmentation changed due to the migration from Africa to Europe over 100 of thousands of years .
Skin had to lighten to produce vitamin D as the amount of UV light got weaker.
Skeletons found in Europe have revealed bone disfigurement a form of rickets coursed by the lack of vitamin D.
So migrating to different parts of the world has produced different skin colours.
This also disagrees with creationists that everyone descended from Noha and his family
As not enough time to give all the different skin colours.
roy douce Just like with Adam and Eve. I mean, we have Native Americans, Africans, Middle Eastern, South Asian, Central Asian and Japanese, Native Australian, and Caucasian. How can these vastly different skin pigments all come from Adam and Eve merely 6,000 years ago?
Just like with merely two "kinds" of Cat, like a Cape Lion and a Scottish Fold, breed and create all the Felids. Yeah, such a well substantiated theory we all agree on. Right, haha. Creationists often state that "macro-evolution" doesn't happen because there are no new species being born. And they label new species as species that cannot mate with their parent species. And that's where they're wrong. All species within the same Genera (thus also including subspecies) can interbreed effortlessly. They may not all be fertile, but they can breed with species of the same Genus. And they claim two "kinds" of, for example, a Cat (Family: Felidae) were on the Ark and procreated all the Felids in the world today. From the Cape Lion to the Snow Leopard? From the Giant Cheetah to the Marbled Cat? So, they would argue that two mere organisms of similar Family would evolve into 199 Species and Subspecies of all Felids, not counting all the subspecies of the Felis Catus, the Domestic Cat. If I would add them the number of Species and Subspecies in the Felids would reach well over 300.
The time it takes for a single group of Species to split up and evolve into several different subspecies would be possible in a few thousands years. But 4,000 years is still a very short period of time to breed all those Species and Subspecies. Well, if mankind helped a bit, like we did with the Domestic Cat, we'd easily have over a thousand different Subspecies of all Felidae. I mean, the main reason why there are so many Domestic Cats is because we bred them for our desires. And perhaps also because the Egyptians saw them as divine creatures. Hm, perhaps religion has its good uses. Without their religion, cats would probably never have been domesticated.
If we'd do the same to the five Subspecies of the Lion, and we'd domestive them, we could also create new Subspecies into the hundreds. That would render them helpless in the wild, though. A Domestic Cat set loose in the wild has very little survival chances.
But if Creationists argue that a single pair of Felids/Cats is enough to produce the fifteen Genera of Felids we have today, with well over 199 Species and Subspecies *in the wild*, with only 4,000 years of time, I really need to grasp onto a lot of faith to believe that.
And this is just an example of a Family that has very few Genera. Take Bees for example, there are easily a hundred Genera alone. And each Genus has easily a dozen Species (some even over a hundred Species like the Andrena Genus). There are easily over 20,000 different Species and Subspecies of Bees. That's easy to understand when you know that a Bee is not a Genus, or Family. Bee is actually a Clade between Order and Family.
So Creationists are going to tell me that Noah only brought, what, two bees aboard his Ark? Two bees that created the 25,000 different Species and Subspecies within just 4,000 years? And them YEC's with their kinds and preaching that animals only breed after their own kind and blablabla. Not denying a God here, but what they're preaching is proven to be wrong. If each kind only bred after its own kind, then how come not all (very few actually) are able to breed with bees from different Families? Oh yeah, that's because your pseudo science can't explain that. That's why we resort to the accepted and proven mainstream science that gives us medication, space shuttles, hoverboards, vaccines, jet engines, water turbines, a freaking particle accelerator, ....
Wow, just realised how much I've just written.
I am not near the scientist I'd like to be. (I am engineer, however, if that means anything.) I know I am not saying all of this exactly correct, but . . . Diversity in species is influenced by, among others, climate. The idea is that black people became black due to the environment in which they lived: Very bright, hot, and arid. They wore little clothes due to the heat. Bodies became taller and thinner to reduce the amount of sunlight striking it. The hair became thick and kinky to shield the scalp from the sun's harmful rays. Pigmentation became dark in order to alleviate the amount of nutrition (I think it is vitamin K??) entering the body.
Conversely, those humans who migrated north to colder, foggier areas developed shorter wider bodies in order to collect more sunlight. The skin lost pigmentation for the same reason since they were wearing much more clothes due to the colder temperatures. Why would you need hair if you always wore a hat?
Asians developed fat around the eyes. It helps protect the eyes from the extreme cold. It also assists them in squinting when staring across the bright snow-white planes of the tundra.
Anyway, I got all of this from Discovery Channel, and they did a MUCH better job explaining it than I did.

And here, my Mom still keeps using other amazing people's testimonies to woo me to christ.
If we came out of Africa then I would imagine that our ancestors were black skinned, as some humans moved away from Africa to cooler less sunny climates so over time the black skin gradually turned lighter.
Pretty much, yeah.
- Skin color is one of the most superficial changes we can possibly undergo. So while the different races did have a period of generally isolated and separate evolution (which is now coming to an end), it was not long enough for anything more than merely superficial changes if that is the only clear difference we really have. Also, there are probably not many human populations, tribal or otherwise, where intelligence would not be evolutionarily advantageous. Sure, some ethnic groups seem "built" for a purpose, like long distance running, or have more large, over-muscled phenotypes than your average human population, but in no population has being smart ever been anything other than an advantage. Why would any population ever get statistically dumber than any other?
- I guess I did neglect one group. Lack of intelligence IS rewarded by most churches, so is rampant reproduction. By that metric, they are probably decreasing their average intelligence faster than any other group!
mdfouru Epic! lol
The problem with ignorant people is they don't know they're ignorant and almost always certain of their beliefs.
One of your best rants ever! You eviscerated him!
Discussion of Evolution. GONE SEXUAL
Closer to the equator, more sun exposure = darker skin. That's it. And it's a change that happens fairly quickly. It's not a mystery.
Kinda true but not for the reason that you think. And it has got nothing to do with UV resistance contrary to what Joe said.
The Laws About Slaves reads like an owners manual for slave masters.

I feel like Matt knew this was guna go off the rails the moment he brought up "black and whites"
