Why Do People Laugh At Creationists? Now 36 YouTube Videos!

[Fat Man]

UPDATE

When I first posted this topic, there were only 30 videos in this series.

Then back in Fri Jul 09,2010 some more videos were added for a total of 33 videos.

And then I discovered a 34th new video recently added to this series.

Well today (March 14,2011) I discovered 2 more new videos.

In the future, if any more new videos are added to this series, then I shall BUMP this topic back up to the top again.

In the meantime, without further ado, I present . . . . .

WHY DO PEOPLE LAUGH AT CREATIONISTS?

========================================

Here is another another one of my collections of YouTube videos on the controversy of Evolution verses Creationism or "Intelligent Design" or ID.

Again, I want to make it clear, as I have in my other topics on this subject, I fully endorse freedom of religion, but I'm against all attempts to insert Creationism or "Intelligent Design" or ID into the science curriculum in our schools.

Creationism, or "Intelligent Design" or ID is NOT science, and therefore, it has been ruled unconstitutional to teach it in a science class.

NO, this in NOT censorship!

You don't teach Astrology in an Astronomy class. Astrology is NOT science. It is a pseudo-science involving casting horoscopes, therefore Astrology has no bases in science.

You don't teach Alchemy in a Chemistry class.

You don't teach Phrenology in a class on the Neurology of the human brain.

And you don't teach magic in a Physics class.

Therefore, since Creationism, or "Intelligent Design" or ID is NOT science, it can not be taught in a classroom where Evolution is taught.

Another myth that needs to be scotched right now is the myth that "Evolution = Atheism" this is also false.

Here is a quote from a video, the first in a series in another topic The Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism - 17 Videos which I had posted at:

http://www.sportssuck.org/phpbb2/viewto ... f=7&t=1797

For decades those behind the creationism movement have tried very hard to portray the illusion that one cannot accept evolution and still believe in God. They know better, but they still want you to believe that evolution is atheist, and that it is either evolution without God, or God creating without evolution. Thatâ??s been their central claim since the creationism movement began. But this supposed controversy never was about whether or not there is a god. Most people believe there is a god, and they believe he is in control of all the seemingly-random events of our lives. This is true of most of the people who accept evolution also. Most of them believe in God as well, and they believe that God is in control of evolution; that evolution, like every other system in nature, is part of Godâ??s design.

The early pioneers of evolutionary science were all initially Christian, (including Darwin) and many leading proponents of modern evolutionary science are still Christian today. For example, microbiologist Dr. Ken Miller, (who testified against intelligent design creationism in Kitzmiller v. Dover) -is a Catholic. Another outspoken proponent of evolution, Dr. Robert T. Bakker, (who has PhDs from both Harvard and Yale) is not only one of the leading, and most recognizable paleontologists in the world today, but he also happens to be a Bible-believing Pentecostal preacher; though he interprets Genesis differently than literalists would. In his book, Bones, Bibles and Creation, he says that to treat the Bible as though it were common history is to degrade its eternal meaning. One of the earliest geneticists, Theodosius Dobzhansky was an Orthodox Christian who many times professed his belief that life was created by God, but that nothing in biology made sense except in light of evolution. All these men agree that even if there really is a god, and even if that god is the Christian god, and even if that god created the universe and everything in it, =which they all believe- evolution would still be at least mostly true, and creationism would still be completely wrong.

Of all the developed nations throughout Christendom, only the United States has a significant number of creationists, and theyâ??re the minority even here! Every other predominantly-Christian country tends to regard creationism as an incredulous, (if not insane) radical fringe movement which is an almost exclusively American phenomenon, and not taken seriously anywhere else. Poll after poll continues to reveal that, around the world, most â??evolutionistsâ? are Christian, and most Christians are evolutionists. So evolution is not synonymous with atheism, and creationism isnâ??t synonymous with Christianity either. Most creationists arenâ??t even Christians! There are millions more Muslim and Hindu creationists than Christian ones.

Regardless which religion they claim, creationism can be collectively defined as the fraction of religious believers who reject science, not just the conclusions of science, but its methods as well, and I mean all of them, from uniformitarianism and methodological naturalism to the peer review process and requirement that all positive claims be based on testable evidence. These people rely instead on blind faith in the assumed authority of their favored fables. In all cases, creationism is an obstinate and dogmatic superstitious belief which holds that members of most seemingly-related taxonomic groups did not evolve naturally, but were created magically, -that plants and animals were literally poofed out of nothing fully-formed, in their current state, unrelated to anything else â??despite all indications to the contrary.

So, there you have it. Evolution does not equal Atheism.

Yes, I believe in God, but I also happen to be an evolutionist.

As I had mentioned a few times before, I'm in the process of converting to Judaism, and even my Rabbi supports the teaching of Evolution, and even he says that Creationism, or "Intelligent design" or ID has no place in a science class.

There are even some Christian Fundamentalist who also say the same exact thing. They too agree that Creationism is NOT science, no matter how much they may believe in Creationism, or Intelligent Design, they also agree that it has no place in a science class.

It is only a few radical proponents of Creationism or "Intelligent Design" who have been making waves and they have often resorted to outright lies, fraud and deception to force Creationism or Intelligent Design into the science curriculum.

Also, I must also add, in defense of Charles Darwin . . . . .

He never use the phrase "survival of the fittest", here is what he actually said.

"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the
most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."

Charles Darwin

Also, Charles Darwin would have been appalled by the concept of Eugenics, and Hitler's concept of a "master race" and the extermination of other races. Darwin actually says that it is diversity within a species that insures the survival of a species. The more diverse a species is, the better it's chances of survival, therefore, the extermination of any race reduces the amount of diversity, and actually threatens the continued survival of a species.



Anyway . . . . . with all that having been said . . . . .

let us now proceed to the 30 upcoming You Tube videos by Thunderf00t.

Oh! Before we proceed, let me lighten things up a bit with a joke. Humor is always good.

This is a kind of religious joke, but it's cute!

THE TAILGATER ~

A man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.

The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.

As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.

He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell. After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.

He said, I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him.

Then I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk.

Naturally... I assumed you had stolen the car.

(BUDA BOOM! Cymbals crash, and drum roll)

OK, that was cute.

Now, let's go on to the You Tube videos by Thunderf00t, and as the say . . . . .

ON WITH THE SHOW!!!



I have also included a few quotes, and I also include some images, and screen-shots from the You Tube videos for illustration, instruction, and also for amusement.

(CORRECTION Stars in galaxy, half a trillion, not half a billion.)

Woops! Nobody is perfect! Even a scientists might make a mistake with an occasional slip-of-the-tongue, nobody is perfect! But at least educated people will admit to making a mistake, and take steps to correct it.

Let's go on! Shall we?

First, Kent Hovind, a so-called "Creation Creationists" says that "these scoffers are willingly ignorant! Dumb on purpose!

Then he goes on to ask "is it possible to cover the earth with water?" then he says " Well, theoretically, one drop or world will cover the water, uh, one drop of water will cover the world, if you spread it real thin."

It turns out, that if you were to cover a sphere the size of the earth with a thin layer of water, only one water molecule in thickness, it would take 150,000 tons of water.

Therefore, a single drop of water can not be spread out thin enough to cover the earth with a layer of water only one molecule in thickness. So, he is off by a factor of a trillion!



Kent Hovind claims to have a PhD in science, but he is a complete fraud.



He has been convicted of tax fraud and is currently serving a 10 year prison sentence.



So much for his claims of being a man of God when he's a liar by the town clock!



Here is the unaccredited "University" where he got his phony PhD. In his case it means, Post-hole Digger!



This is one of those typical phony Diploma Mills.

http://www.rationalresponders.com/kentHovind

Part of a superb series of videos exposing the funny stupidity of creationists and why they deserve to be laughed at. In each case the creationist statements are shown to be outrageously stupid by even the most rudimentary knowledge of science.

In this episode it is shown why Kent Hovind (the convicted fraudster and young earth creationist who is currently serving 10 years in jail for tax fraud) deserves the title "King of Morons"

Correction, the thickness of the Hovind ice sheet should actually be 400 km rather than 1000km. However this approximation does not change the core of the argument that no light can penetrate beyond at best the first one km, or the fact that it would have cooked the Earth on falling down, and drowned it permanently.

OK, my comment here.

Fat Man says . . . . .

Kent Hovind contends, that before the Genesis flood, there was a canopy of ice, or water several hundred kilometers thick pressing down on top of the Earth's atmosphere.

Now, assuming that there was about 400 kilometers of water or ice sitting on top of the atmosphere. The weight of all that water would compress the atmosphere so that the atmospheric pressure at sea level would be about 80,000 (that's 80 thousand) times as high as it is now!

The water canopy would be about a few meters above our heads, the atmosphere would liquefy under such tremendous pressure, and Noah, his family, and all the animals on the ark would have a great amount of gas dissolved in their blood. That is because an increased atmospheric pressure would greatly increase the amount of gases dissolved in a liquid.

Now, we know that ocean life has adapted to the extreme pressures at the bottom of the sea, so life could have adapted to the extreme atmospheric pressures as a result of the ice canopy pressing down on the atmosphere. That is assuming that Kent Hovind is correct in his assertions of a canopy above the earth before the flood.

This means that when the water canopy collapsed, causing the great flood, the Earth's atmosphere would rapidly expand outward, and cause an almost sudden decrease in atmospheric pressure, and this is what would happen to Noah and every living creature on the planet.

KABOOM!!!



Yeah, this is what would have happened to Noah, his wife and kids, and all the animals on board the ark!

Pretty gruesome! Eh?

In this episode it is shown how one of the icons of the creationist movement 'Dr Dino' or Kent Hovind confuses even basic biological terms and processes such as base pair, chromosome, gene, genome, molecules and processes such as reproduction. The crazy thing is these are all taught at in high school biology. Hovind would have certainly failed the class he claims to have taught for 15 yrs. Not only that but it shows how absurd Hovind's claim is that when people say he 'doesn't have a real degree or any qualification for him to stand in the academic arena' that they are just trying to divert the subject because they are 'losing the argument'.

In this episode it is shown the creationist organization The Discovery Institute use their willful ignorance of DNA as 'evidence' that DNA is designed. The callow argument is simple to counter in that take an object such as a beach, ignore everything you know about beach formation, make some bogus calculation to show that it can't happen 'by chance', then conclude that Neptune, Lord of the sea did it.

It is also highlighted that the creationist organization, The Discovery Institute seems to have an irrational fear of sworn testimony. An interesting phobia given that mean that even though they are the chief proponents of intelligent design, and that they were enlisted in professional witnesses in the Dover vs Kitzmiller trial, they all withdrew at short notice (presumably sensing the inevitable humiliating rout of creationist/ intelligent design), and then started grousing that the ruling was all the fault of the judge.

In this episode it is shown the creationist organization The Discovery Institute and other creationists such as Kent Hovind (the convicted fraudster 'Dr Dino') share a common feature of willful dishonesty in that they are happy to misquote famous people to make it sound like they support creationism (quote mining). This dishonesty was particularly obvious in the dover vs kitzmiller trial where it was found that the ID proponents and creationists Bill Buckingham and Alan Bonsell put simply lied their asses off in court to attempt to disguise their true intent of teaching creationism in school.

In this episode it is shown how Johnathan Well, fellow of the creationist organization The Discovery Institute is willing to be willfully dishonest in representing the Cambrian explosion as 'disproving evolution'. He simply omits the rather important fact that the Cambrian Explosion didn't just come out of the blue, but as a response to a stimulate, probably the relatively recent fact that the Earths atmosphere had finally swapped over from reducing (makes life tough for multi-celled life) to oxidizing (good for muli-celled life). This change was thanks to about a billion years of photosynthesis on algae and the suchlike, another rather important point that Wells just ignores.

Part of a superb series of videos exposing the funny stupidity of creationists and why they deserve to be laughed at. In each case the creationist statements are shown to be outrageously stupid by even the most rudimentary knowledge of science.

In this episode it is shown how Venomfangx is revisited to demonstrate to creationists that just because you can read something off the web, that doesn't make it true, or make a good substitute for an education. What is even more surprising is that anyone could find the materials of Venomfangx convincing. It's a shocking example of how vulnerable the uneducated are to the wiles of a confident adolescent who they wish to be telling them the truth.

The abysmal understanding of Venomfangx of radiometric dating is highlighted (Ive left 14C out of this). Some of his statements are appallingly poorly thought through. Notably his statement that decay rates of nuclear isotopes are not constant and can be accelerated by a factor of a billion. If this were true, there would be no problem with long term radioactive waste storage as we could 'de- radioactify' it in seconds to weeks. The willingness of Venomfangx to use his lack of understanding of radioisotope dating to 'prove' its wrong is also highlighted. For instance his idea that radiometric dating doesn't work on open systems is as stupid as saying watches can't be used to keep time, unless they have batteries in them.

It is also highlighted how the creationist organization The Discovery Institute has dropped the term 'intelligent design' in their latest video, where they do not utter it once. Creationists are ultimately antisocial polluters of the fountain of knowledge at the heart of our civilization. They are willing to do anything, including pissing in the fountain of knowledge itself to try to discredit the discoveries of mankind that conflict with their bronze age religions.

In this episode it is shown how little respect creationists have for the western value of free speech. Repeatedly caught either censoring comments with zeal, or simply not allowing them. This trend goes across the board from the scientifically illiterate creationists, to the hub of the intelligent design movement, The Discovery Institute. Its further found that many of the earlier 'Why do people laugh at creationists' videos (particularly parts 3, 4 and 5, mainly containing material from the convicted fraudster and Young Earth Creationist, Kent Hovind), despite having an open comments section, have been targeted by creationist flagging campaigns.

Yup that's right, they had the latitude to present whatever argument they wanted, and what did they do? Embark on a flagging campaign. Evidently this is what some creationists think the strongest argument for creationism is.

In this episode a creationist animation is taken to task, I suspect it originates from 'Way of the Master'. The format is simple, creationist present 'information' to a scientific illiterate who is magically convinced by all the creationists painfully unconvincing ideas.

A segment of the creationists ideas are taken to task and given the treatment they deserve. These include explaining why it is not reasonable to say u believe in micro-evolution but not macro-evolution, why a religion based on works promotes antisocial behavior, why scientists do not 'concur' with scripture of any one bronze age religion etc.

In this episode a creationist animation is taken to task, where they claim 'proof' evolution is a flawed theory. It turns out to be comically poorly thought through, even for creationist 'proofs'. They claim the moon is receding 3in per yr, twice as fast as it currently is, they then assume this recession for 4 billion yrs and get the moon should have receding 1200 billion inches. Yup, they multiply 4x3 and get 1200.

Now these are actually fairly wide error bars, and this is explored in a humorous fashion in what else creationists could 'prove' with their factor of 200 error.

In this episode the suspension of Venomfangx by the Muslims is examined. There is a certain Karma in seeing a petty little tyrannical censor such as Venomfangx getting impaled on the very censorship weapon he gleefully used on others, however there are bigger things at stake here.

I shed no tears for VFX, as he fell to the censorship he dogmatically used on others. Further these are the same creationists who run flagging campaigns against my videos marking all the comments as spam- even though they have a free and open forum to say what they want. I un-flag all the comments, but it is primarily for this reason why I have asked people who support the message of free speech propounded by this video to rank and favorite it.

In this episode Ben Stein is taken to task over his inability to distinguish science from free speech. Stein claims that those who question evolution are discriminated against, whereas in reality this 'discrimination' is merely people getting held accountable for demonstrating their pathetic grasp of both the scientific method and scientific literature.

In simple parody terms it would be like a medic claiming that 'I don't believe in sterilizing medical instruments, and if you say otherwise you are discriminating against me, and censoring my free speech.'

The scientific literature is an open arena. Anyone who can sustain their claim with research and reason will get a fair hearing.

Creationists think the only reason they cannot compete in this arena is due to prejudice, when in reality it is merely the fact that they don't do ANY research, let alone anything worthy of being published.

In this episode Ben Stein is again taken to task over his mindless spin doctoring (not dissimilar to his 'universities are fortresses of nonsense' line), his inability to distinguish science from free speech, his inability to distinguish science from fantasy, and his ignorance of why supernatural is intrinsically not a part of science.

But most of all because Stein seems blissfully unaware that Darwin has his place in history because he was the first to propose the Theory of Evolution. Stein seems to think that all fields of science were started by Darwin and are subject to 'Darwinism', abiogenesis, thermodynamics, physics, astronomy, the big bang, 'inorganic matter becoming organic life' (chemistry?) and so on.

Put simply this man made a documentary on evolution, without actually knowing what evolution is. Oh yes, that does mean that stein more than qualifies for another episode of 'Why do people laugh at creationists?'

In this episode Ben Stein is again taken to task over his mindless spin doctoring (not dissimilar to his 'universities are fortresses of nonsense' line), most annoyingly his statement that 'science leads to killing people'. What I find most disturbing is that the Christian audience and host were seemly un-phased by this opinion. Have they no sense of perspective?

Add this to steins scaremongering/warmongering where he is arguing that the US military which constitutes about 50% of the military spending of the world is grossly inadequate and 'worn down to the nub'.

Part of a series of videos exposing the funny stupidity of creationists and why they deserve to be laughed at. In each case the creationist statements are shown to be outrageously stupid by even the most rudimentary knowledge of science.

In this episode Jonathan Wells of the creationist organization The Discovery Institute is taken to task over his bizarre assertions that the inability of a burst cell to spontaneously reassemble means that abiogenesis must be impossible. The bacteria is a modern organism....the end product of 4 billion years of evolution. It is a complex organism and as such can compete in the biosphere using the fast reproduction 'strategy'. The reason bacteria are around today is they are vigorous reproducers. Jonathan Wells seems to be attacking the proposal that 'MODERN bacteria were the first life on Earth', which is in reality a straw man that exists nowhere outside of Wells's mind. The reasoning is similar to that used by Ken Ham, that you don't get abiogenesis from blended frogs. All of this seems to be ignoring the key factor that the biosphere is a harsh competition. There is simply no niche where abiogenesis could get a grip where it simply would not be out competed by life that has been around for 4billion yrs.

This episode is significantly different from previous episodes in that it has a political background.

The vice presidential candidate for the Republican Party this year is the creationist Sarah Palin. The presidential candidate himself is 72 years old, and if he dies, that means that there will be a dangerously ignorant, hard core religious nut running the United States.

Given that Palin doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is (the source of one of the biggest US foreign policy blunders in recent history), and thinks that praying for soldier will protect them, I thought this worthy of a rather unusual episode of WPDLAC.

Here the obscene hypocrisy of Venomfangx (aka Poster-boy for Creationist Stupidity (PCS)) is highlighted.

Stating how 'limited' he thinks scientific naturalism is while enjoying the standard near heavenly standard of life that scientific naturalism allows.

This looks particularly obscene when it is contrasted with his theological beliefs that 'amputees don't deserve their arms, we deserve to die'.

Here a bunch of Christians, specifically, jezuzfreek777 are taken to task over statements about the bible being the most scientifically accurate book in the world or similar.

I was spoiled for choice for material here. Clearly there are websites around that put out this crap, and it's greedily gobbled up by the believers who obviously never even bother to check any of it, much less actually read the bible.

It really is jaw dropping that there are people so gullible that anyone takes this sort of thing seriously, let alone that they can fill an auditorium with such people as is evident in the first Hovind clip.

Why do people laugh at creationists (WDPLAC) is a series of videos exposing the funny stupidity of creationists and why they deserve to be laughed at. Typically creationist statements are shown to be outrageously stupid by even the most rudimentary knowledge of science.

In this episode the origin of morality is addressed, particularly with respect to arguments of the big time Christian apologist Ravi Zacharias. Zach is notably called out on his dishonest techniques. These notably include the favorite of the creationist, the conversation with the Ivy League professor. Zach, just like the convicted fraudster Hovind loves using this device.

Naturally the honest approach would simply be to present ones argument.

However if your argument is shite, then this approach will likely be ineffective.

People like Zach make the play on the argument from authority. It is therefore essential to establish himself as an authority figure. This is why in the full interview Zach spends minutes building up the picture of how all these university students were keen to see him, and how electric the atmosphere was etc. Basically the only purpose of the story is to suggest to the audience that the man is an authority and his argument therefore probably has credibility- its basically a diversion to prevent harsh examination of his argument. Given the audience response the technique is clearly quite effective.

Zach is again called on his use of diversion when delivering his proof (basically listing points of agreement, saying god did it, then re-listing off the points of agreement). On close inspection it turns out that his entire argument is basically there are morals, so god must have made them.

This is of course a hopeless argument from ignorance, and EVEN IF IT WERE TRUE, its a immoral proposition that a divine being allows evil as a contrast agent.

It is then described how societies cannot exist without some form of morals (basically behavior towards other members of the society). It doesnt take a very long look at nature to see these behaviors in other animals, or why such behaviors are naturally selected for.

Why do people laugh at creationists? (part 30)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpL1dmfVoGA

Following Casey Luskins flapping on the video Challenging the Discovery Institute to Discover, Luskin has earned himself the honor of being the subject of Why do people laugh at creationists Part 30.

The Discovery Institute has all but abandoned intelligent design (the re-branding of creationism - see video) as a lost cause, they even go on record saying they don't think it should be taught in schools!

They initially set up a peer review journal of their own (Progress in Complexity, Information, and Design) but abandoned it after they got called out on the lineage of intelligent design to creationism.

Luskin helped set up intelligent design and evolution awareness clubs, but stated that the management believed the designer was the God of the Bible, and then happily goes on camera and states that intelligent design has nothing to do with religion, despite all the diagrams he has connecting the two on the IDEA web page.

What really astounds me about these guys is they have utterly lost, and yet they don't have the dignity to accept that they were wrong graciously. Instead all you get is a bunch of bitter misfits doing their best to sow disinformation and throw as much mud as possible but for what gain? All I see is a bunch of jerks committing spiteful intellectual vandalism for their personal gratification. Really what do these people hope to gain by pretending there is controversy where none exists?

Haha, Ray Comfort what a joke.........same with Palin. Lol, one of my favorite promoters of science, education and evolution, Richard Dawkins did a Ray Comfort impersonation(Comfort's Banana Vid) during one of his guest lectures. The crowd(and me) laughed hard. And that's how I was introduced to the simpleton named Ray Comfort.

Also, Charles Darwin would have been appalled by the concept of Eugenics, and Hitler's concept of a "master race" and the extermination of other races. Darwin actually says that it is diversity within a species that insures the survival of a species. The more diverse a species is, the better it's chances of survival, therefore, the extermination of any race reduces the amount of diversity, and actually threatens the continued survival of a species.

At a fundamentalist Church of Christ* I was a member of in my early 20's, the preacher there taught against evolution, saying things like, "if you tell people they came from animals, they'll act like animals," etc. Well, turns out this preacher went statewide with a "Patriot Pastors" movement and even garnered national coverage in 2005. Among his "demands" that he wanted the government to adopt was that all public schools must teach that Hitler was an "avid evolutionist"".

Alas, the right Reverend Russell resigned from his pastor's job at the Church of Christ in 2007, after, among other things, falling behind on income taxes:

http://www.plunderbund.com/2007/10/12/s ... v-russell/

hmmm...guess he forgot that "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's" rule from the Bible, no?

*Couple of side notes: I have long since left this church (16 years ago this month) and no longer hold these beliefs (I never equated Hitler with acceptance of evolution, in any event). Also, since Earl has mentioned is own membership in a Church of Christ on the forums, I wanted to stress that this is NOT the church or movement he belongs to, and the views of Russell Johnson and his cronies should in no way be seen as a reflection on Earl. Just wanted to avoid any misunderstanding there.
