Meh. From a technical perspective I couldn't get past a few seconds of the disinterested voice that could barely form a complete sentence confidently and without a lot of pauses.

As for the subject matter, no one cares. Last Thursdayism is so last Thursday.

But regardless. The fact remains that dad has to add to the Bible in order to make the Bible work. The bible supports not one of his ideas about how physical forces or space/time or whatnot might have worked differently in the past. He just starts, as always, with the presumption that the Bible must be correct, sees that physical reality disagrees with that, and then works his way to an explanation for why things look the way they do but actually aren't the way they are in order to say "see the Bible was always right all along."

Booooooring.

What I don't get is why atheists cling to this forum. Lol, it's like you guys get your liveliness from going to CHRISTIAN forums and making '2000 year old book' and 'god doesn't exist comments'.
1. This particular subforum is about science, the '2000 year old book' is quite unscientific, though many like to use it as if it carries weight.
2. Most atheist here are agnostic atheists, as far as I'm aware, and don't claim that god does not exist. Even rarer is comments about that.
3. As for why I'm here on this forum, I love to immerse myself in other persons viewpoints, the larger the difference the better.

If you are interested in studying mental illness, you can go to an asylum, or you can just try to reason with religious persons. Coming here saves bus fare.

That's quite a cruel thing to say, especially to someone who already doubts our sincerity here.

If you want to know about Christianity, where better to go than christianforums.com? If you want to know about Creationism, where better to go than an open forum, with a dedicated 'Creation & Evolution' subforum?

And, to be fair, it is a 2000 year old book; what's wrong with calling it that?

If they changed we would notice.

If we can't tell it happened then, how would we notice now? You base your assumption of noticing on the idea that the function of the equipment we use never changes? Frustrating, isn't it?

Eh, pass

Honestly, it's not even you. I'm always weird about seeing people I only know from boards on Youtube. Just feels weird seeing the person behind the post. I guess I kind of like a level of detachment.
Yes, it can be a bit weird. There are some people on here that I have a mental picture of, but surely doesn't match.

Any comment on my youtube video?

Pre-suppositional nonsense, mixed with spiritualism woo and psudeo-science.

You've demonstrated no evidence for your claims or support for your assumptions. Without these, the content in the video is meaningless.

If you're going to posit that reality is different from observation, inference and deduction, you need to substantiate your assertions.

Maybe I ought to hire a female.

But regardless. The fact remains that dad has to add to the Bible in order to make the Bible work. The bible supports not one of his ideas about how physical forces or space/time or whatnot might have worked differently in the past.

It all came from the record there actually. There is no other explanation for how it all really happened that I have even seen. None.

He just starts, as always, with the presumption that the Bible must be correct, sees that physical reality disagrees with that, and then works his way to an explanation for why things look the way they do but actually aren't the way they are in order to say "see the Bible was always right all along."

One must start somewhere. I'll start with God thanks. The Alpha is a great place to start. Better than inventing foolish specks from which the universe was spawned.

Baloney science is unscientific! That is so called science that purports to be real science that makes diabolical claims about where the world and man came from.


2. Most atheist here are agnostic atheists, as far as I'm aware, and don't claim that god does not exist. Even rarer is comments about that.
Ha. get out more. We see that all the time here.


3. As for why I'm here on this forum, I love to immerse myself in other persons viewpoints, the larger the difference the better.
That's OK.

How?

How would you know that what you had previously observed was correct then but not now? How would you know that what youre observing now is accurate?
Science has been around the block a few times baby. Not like they got here last week.

I think it's cute that you have an opinion that's completely contradictory to the facts. You did tag this video as comedy and entertainment, right?
False allegation and vague as well as empty of content. Even comedy has something we can laugh at.

If light had changed or other things it would leave traces.

You have equipment you don't use?
