    Dr George Wald, in his Nobel acceptance speech said that there are only two possibilities for the origins of life, spontaneous generation or divinecreation. Spontaneous generation was disproved 100 years ago. But that leaves us with only one alternative, and as we cannot accept that on philosophical grounds, we continue to choose to believe the impossible that life arose by chance from nothing.

    And yet, just last year, my autoplay put on an AIG video while I was cooking. And the EXACT arguments I made, presented exactly the same way, using the same exact facts, is what I heard coming from the video.
    It was then that I realized, creationists ARE *actual* scientists. Not "fringe lunatics" as college indoctrinated me to believe they were.

But hardship is one avenue that does bring some people to their knees before God Almighty begging for redemption.

      Also, consider that Darwin lived during the Victorian era, a time of ambivalence about imperialism. We in the United States were not at all ambivalent about imperialism: we staged a revolutionary war. But the upper class of British society were to some degree had mixed feelings about the subject, some notion of oppression as well as opportunities afforded their colonies. Darwins ideas about upper races, and lower races had its appeal: survival of the fittest sounded good, given that you assumed yourself to be the fittest. Darwin said this in a letter to one of his colleagues:
      "I could show fight on natural selection having done and doing more for the progress of civilization than you seem inclined to admit.... The more civilized so-called Caucasian races have beaten the Turkish hollow in the struggle for existence. Looking to the world at no very distant date, what an endless number of the lower races will have been eliminated by the higher civilized races throughout the world."
      Life and Letters, I, letter to W. Graham, July 3, 1881, p. 316; cited in Darwin and the Darwinian Revolution, by Gertrude Himmelfarb (London, Chatto and Windus, 1959), p. 343.
      That evolution is racist isn’t hidden; it’s in the title of Darwins book on evolution:
      “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or _the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life”_
      Some people insist the word “race“ is taken out of context, but, in light of Darwins correspondence with others, there is no doubt concerning the meaning of the word. Evolution is racist.
      It occurs to me. This is part of the reason the “elite class” in the United States and elsewhere, believe in evolution.

    10:54 it ends up making more because of genetic mutations in organisms. Genetic mutations create random changes in an organism that are are either beneficial or harmful to the organism. Mutations are then selected through natural selection. Speciation is the result of two organisms can no longer produce fertile offspring. This could be the result of many factors including changes in behavioural patterns or geographic changes. The phrase “everyone is unique” is an excellent example of mutations. I have longer arms than most people, some people are born with an extra chromosome, some people are extremely tall. The list goes on. If we selected for these mutations, let’s say we let only people with certain mutations exist like for example, some people can see a broader spectrum of light. Over many years this mutation will become a dominant gene until another useful mutation is selected in which the cycle will continue.

For example: Take two scientists that are studying the universe. One believes in an Almighty God and the other does not. The one that does Believes in God will put his findings under the lens of the Bible. Where as the non believing scientists will develope a theory that he just cannot explain. He then may do 1 of 2 things. He will either become so frustrated that he cannot explain or prove his theories and spend the rest of his life time trying. 2 he will surrender and say. An Almighty Creator is the only thing that I can prove . So it is very important what mindset is applied before one test their ideas. Now I don't know about you.

I believe that He conducted his studies as a means to refute the Bible. This became a dangerous a concept in which the most evilist one uses to deceive people and tear them away from God which is his chief goal. I further believe that an evolutionist begins his study from the bottom up meaning with his finite knowledge of ideas he has at that time. Where as a creationist begins his study from the top down meaning with the knowledge he has of an Almighty God at the time he began his study . I realize this may be a difficult concept to grasp . Now as a Christian I have studied God in my church Bible study and I have found that our human ways are totally opposite of Gods. For example:
      Some people believe that Archeology proves the Bible, where as I believe the Bible proves Archeology ! So you see it is all about the mindset.

    As an atheist, it's interesting to me to watch these videos, because while they do have some truth in them, they always leave out a bit of information that's crucial to understanding why they're wrong. In this video, the missing bit is genetic mutations. This is gonna be a long comment, so the TLDR is that genetic mutation is extremely common and if it happens in exactly the right way (which is very likely given the timespans evolution deals with) you can get a 'new gene,' something that this video stressed as being impossible. Genetic mutation is actually extremely common in the form of point mutations, where one DNA pair (DNA is composed of four nucleotides - cytosine, adenine, guanine, and thymine. Adenine will bond with thymine, and cytosine will bond with guanine, and when you stack enough pairs on top of each other, you get the double helix of DNA, where one strand will be made up of all of the respective nucleotides of the other strand - for example, one strand could be ATCG, and the other strand opposite would be TAGC) is somehow messed up in the copying process. It might have been removed, replaced with another pair, or there might even be an extra imposter pair. This is important because of how DNA functions. DNA is a set of instructions to make proteins, and the proteins are made up of amino acids. There are 21 amino acids, but only 4 nucleotides, so when the instructions are being read in the ribosome, it reads 3 nucleotides at a time, and each combination of 3 nucleotides is going to correspond to an amino acid. There are 4 possible nucleotides though, and if you put them in a combination of 3, that's 4^3 possibilities, which is 64 - more than the 21 nucleotides. This means that there are repetitions - AAA and AAG both make lysine, for example. This is a sort of padding, so that some point mutations, such as replacing an A with a G, or vice versa, have no effect on protein production. However, AAC is asparagine, and this would mean that that one section of DNA is gonna make a different protein. What about addition or deletion of pairs, however? Well, that's gonna be even worse - that would shift the ENTIRE DNA strand over one, so if you had a strand that before was AACAAA, which would make asparagine + lysine, and you added a G at the start, you'd be making glutamate + glutamine, and whatever pairs came afterwards would also be shifted by that extra adenine at the end. Sorry if this was all way too complicated, but the idea is that if you have these genetic mutations happening, and you give enough time for them to keep happening, you could in fact get a reptile with wings. This is also pretty obvious just by looking at the fact that some animals that are parts of the same group have genes that the other animals don't, but at the same time they share a ton of other genes which make it obvious that they're part of the same group - flying fish and sharks, for example, couldn't be more different, but they're both fish.

    • @kube572

      If it's more intuitive, to use the guy's card dealing analogy, imagine you accidentally rub the paint off of one of the cards - that would mean that whatever decks you make that come from that card might now be blank, and that fold might be bred into, making a whole new deck with all blank cards. It's a weird analogy that obviously doesn't work with dealing cards in real life, but the idea is that you're breeding the cards? Again, its a weird analogy.

    The deck of cards analogy is very helpful because it illustrates a key difference between both camps. AiG proposes that cards from the same deck are shared and mixed together, while evolutionists claim that each generation (or, rather, each member of that generation) is effectively copying - and sometimes mis-copying - genetic information from the previous generation’s deck. This allows for the possibility of mutations, and also doesn’t imply that the parents’ genetic information is used us after they have two children.
    This ‘copying’ rather than ‘reusing’ theory also explains how the Tarot deck of cards (with different symbols) emerged through the copying of traditional playing cards.

      Yes, the deck of cards analagy is very helpful, especially the Tarot deck.
      Originally added as a triumphant (trump) suit to traditional cards, they were then much much later attributed (aptly for the purposes here) to divination, the practice of seeking knowledge of the future or the unknown through supernatural means!
      Or, in other words, adding or replacing plausibility with numinousity.
      AiG proposes the ideological prime creation of the kingdom of heaven and the earth.
      While nothing can be substantiated or proven upon the first, it can and has been regarding the earth.
      If the earth was without form and void, it would have to have been previously with form and sound, but then deteriorated.
      There would also have been no waters, and certainly no deep.
      Our planetary system is a solar system, not a terranus system.
      Night and day exists because our planetary axial rotation exists.
      And so on, and so forth.

    I find it curious that he mentioned mutations and forgot to mention positive or even neutral gene mutations. Not every mutation results in something bad happening, if that were the case, then there would theoretically be a "perfect" genome somewhere out there, zero flaws, but that would have been at the beginning of gene based life. Take for instance, the ability for humans to drink milk from non humans, its not a normal trait, it was a random mutation that came along. Doesn't seem very negative to me, it seemed to actually help as it expanded the sources of calcium and other minerals humanity can gain access to.
    Gotta love people claiming to have questions that drive 'X Community' crazy, then proceeding to ignore the information that doesn't prove their point. It's not the deck of cards that dictates the traits of an organism, its the combinations in which they are played in the game we call life. Take a look at a chart that has the combinations of amino acids in DNA, some of them give different results, some have multiple trios that give the same result. This results in some mutations being positive, some neutral with no effect and some negative.

      I was thinking the same thing. Not as detailed as you, but, he ignores Downs Syndrome. Which is the result of an extra added chromosome to someones DNA. While not good, it shows that "Cards" can be added to a deck. And he doesn't deal with the fact that, in a given population, an animal or plant from 1 species can successfully mate with an animal or plant from another species. Thus adding cards to a given deck. And mutations happen. So, while on it's face [pun intended] the card analogy is compelling, I don't think it works in the natural world. Clearly, it doesn't because I think dog DNA from Wolves alone, doesn't have all the variations we see today. Unless wolves are like DNA master class with every possible combination built within. There's no way a wolf pack would ever naturally have a Pug, Lab, or Great Dane looking dog in the mix. Those must have been natural mutations, changes to what was to create what is. Now, was God part of that? Or did God create the system that allowed for that. I think that's a better question.

And, of course, there are things like transposons, pseudogenes, and endogenous retroviruses, all of which give very strong evidence for common ancestry, and which contradicts the "baraminology" concept of some kind of "mutations limit" between "kinds" ("baramin" - which literally has no scientific definition at all; indeed, creationists can't even agree among themselves what these supposed "baramin" are - except of course they all agree that humans constitute a "baramin" because of Adam and Eve in the creation myth in Genesis).

    Wow - what a simplified version of science to fit a belief. He makes the argument that man bred dogs for 300 years and none of them have feathers so therefor, evolution which occurred over millions or billions of years isn’t valid scientific argument. He does throw in mutations but equates mutations to always being inferior. Granted 99 out of 100 (or maybe 999 out of 1000) mutations may cause weakness or death to the animal, the 1% or 0.1% that have a favorable mutation, would have a significant advantage over the rest of the species. As these animals breed and additional mutations occur over thousands of years, the animals can develop into a very different looking and functioning creature.
    So using flawed logic and simplified science he is simply saying “you cannot prove 100% that evolution is real and therefore the belief in a supernatural being is more believable” is not something that provides any sway to my understanding.
    This is a good argument for those that have already decided in a supernatural being to explain everything that doesn’t have a simple answer. It will further enforce the belief in those that refuse to do the hard work of thinking. There are clearly scientists that do not believe in evolution from a single cell to the complex life we see today and they have their theories which are well thought out and arguable. But universally it is acknowledged that life has been changing for over a billion years. The argument above does not address what can happen in a billion years and watching this gives me the feeling of a semi-knowledgeable adult talking to a classroom of second graders.

    I'm 48. A Genetics graduate from 1997. I said all this 30 years ago.
    Speciation isn't possible by natural selection. Natural selection is easy to understand. For 12,000 years humans bred animals and plants. And the illiterate farmers for generations understood intuitively "manual selection"
    You missed this: partial sterility (outside any geographical isolation factors) is necessarily part of speciation. And the highest amount of speciation occurs in rain forest and coral reefs where there is no geographical isolation. But speciation means partial sterility which natural selection MASSIVELY selects against . IE it doesn't matter how big your muscles, if you can't mate 100% efficiently compared to your peers

    Around the 12:20 mark he sort of nails what apologists try to hide about evolution, which is "mutations" occur, but the mutations occur on something that already exists leading to a growing branch of the evolutionary tree. This is why big cats are related to small cats or wolves related to dogs, or humans related to other primates. There is no wild production of something completely unrelated to the original gene pool. You don't go from a fish to a human on the next mutation and what determines a new species is when the mutations soon make it impossible to have offspring with the original species who had the mutation. While this mutation often requires thousands of years to directly observe it, there are things that do create new species that are observable in our lifetime. Apologists like to call this micro evolution and of course agree that this exists but claim that because we cannot observe macro evolution, it does not exist. Sort of ironic isn't it considering we cannot physically observe God yet that exists. There is no micro and macro evolution, there is just evolution. While evolution does dispel the Adam and Eve story, it doesn't rule out the existence of Deities, only that evolution could have been their solution to the formation of life in our universe. There are Christians who accept the true science of evolution while still accepting the Christian religion.

    Science holds no belief system, so referring it as “secular”, sounds as ridiculous as it is. “Science” helps you make this show possible: the electricity, the lights, the cameras, the internet, CZcams, etc. All done by science, not secular science, or “Christian/biblical Science” (whatever that is?)

Jesus is the new Adam, literally redeeming the human race, being the perfect sacrifice and the firstfruits of the resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:16-23
      So Jesus believed in the account of Genesis literally, Jesus literally believed that He would die for the sins of many. And Jesus atoning for the sins of mankind is only possible in there was a literal Eden and literal Fall. No Fall, then why is Jesus necessary? No forbidden fruit, then why is creation corrupted? And if creation is corrupted by means other than man’s sin, then why does God hold us accountable for our evolutionary nature (horniness, violence, racism- we’re just animals after all)? So I believe in the Bible and do not believe that mankind evolved from any other creatures. I believe that Adam literally sinned and thus brought death, and Jesus literally defeated death and thus brings life. That is what the gospel is all about.
      If its not true, then Jesus Himself was a liar, and why would you follow a man who either lied, or was delusionally false about human history and God’s existence/plan.

    Microevolution equals macroevolution, accepting one will inevitably lead to the other, evolution doesn't stop at some time it goes on forever as long as the creature's lineage exists, it is a process that lasts millions of years because each major mutation is small and almost non visible, we only see those changes when the species already separated completely, it is similar as to how we don't see the changes in our body from when we are a baby to when we are an adult, you can take photos but there will not be a "transitional" photo that is gonna make it clear when you stopped being a baby or a kid, that's what happens to the transitional fossils that we have, they are so similar to us genetically and physically that when you make a line with all of them chronologically located it all leads to a clear pattern of evolution over the millions of years that they existed to the bones of us living today, I would be happy to see you guys trying to debate with someone with at least basic knowledge of evolutionary biology because I'm certain that those arguments wouldn't last a minute.

    A great Maxim is this “DO NOT learn all you know about evolution from Creationists!”
    However, as the video demonstrates, you CAN learn something about evolution from Creationists but there’s a catch!
    If you only listen to Creationists, how can you separate: The correct from the incorrect, The wheat from the chaff, and The truth from the lies and fill in the missing perceptions? It's not easy unless you can see some light.
    This might help.
    1) Note that no mention is made of the possibility that "Beneficial Mutations" can sometimes if rarely, occur and be Naturally Selected. That adds NEW information to the gene pool.
    2) Note that no mention is made of "Gene Duplication". This is a significant mechanism via which beneficial mutations can be retained without loss of the original function. That's ADDITION not SUBTRACTION.
    3) Remember that the scientific model of reality includes plenty of evidence that the Earth is some 5,000,000,000 years old and not 6,000. No surprise therefore that some very slow evolutionary mechanisms have not been observed in the last 1000 years.
    4) Note that whales have vestigial hind legs indicating evolution from land animals.
    5) Remember that vaccination works via the natural selection of random mutations to DNA. Consequently, a vaccinated Creationist who denies the possibility of beneficial mutations is a walking contradiction.
    6) Remember that the analysis of tell-tale genetic markers in DNA has led to the conclusion that Chimps are our closest relatives and our common ancestor species lived some 6,000,000 years ago.
    7) Creationist commentators know all this. Ask yourself why they never mention it.

      @Aron Gladden Check out the evolutionary history of the Covid 19 pandemic. A number of new strains have evolved since 2019 (That's less than a million years :-)). The mutations involved were not beneficial for us but they sure gave the virus many new leases of life. So you are quite wrong. We have seen many "Beneficial" Covid 19 mutations since 2019.
      Vaccination has saved billions of lives and our modern world would not be possible without them. They work via the natural selection of beneficial mutations to DNA.
      Perhaps you don't know about "Endogenous retroviral markers". :-) Those markers and the genetic molecular clock are how we know that chimps are our closest relatives and that our common ancestor species lived some 6,000,000 years ago.
      As for "all scientific evidence" you don't seem to know about the evidence in Geological strata, tree rings, ice cores, radiocarbon dating, Uranium decay dating, the fossil record, and the correlations of all that with the Milancovitch Cycles. Have you been skipping your homework assignments?

      I note that you don't deride the significance of the cross-correlation seen between the various dating methods and their correlation with the Milankovitch cycles. Does that mean you don't know about these things.
