Why Do People Laugh At Creationists? Now 36 YouTube Videos!
Posted: Tue Jul 21, 2009 6:26 am
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
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.

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.
Why do people laugh at creationists? (part 5)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvprBLhJx_o
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?

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

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

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.

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.
