Science falsely so called documentary

Anything good? I don't watch video much becasue of it's propaganda potential.
And no one ever provides a transcript, and I don't have a video bible to check
any comments made. Becasue of the cost of making a video, there is often
a profit motive for any video made.

In this case, the production costs are evidently not that high.
Still, a transcript is needed to buy an hour and a half of my time.

Propaganda potential? Are you not able to discern between what is fact and what is not? The documentary is made through donations, there is no profit motive.

Correct. As a marketing graduate, I can tell you
how to combine images and sound and what
scientifically tested "buttons" to push to
persuade you into almost anything.

If you know the principles of persuasion, that can help
you to spot them being abused.
Here are 6:
reciprocity,
commitment/consistency,
social proof,
authority,
liking
and scarcity

If you know them well enough then you are safer from being persuaded.
If you don't understand them, then you can be more easily persuaded.
You might know the last one as "Jesus will return any minute now!"

I use that one as "People die suddenly, all the time. Best to get your ducks in a row."
But it's real for me. When I was 13 my very cute lab partner at school "Becky" died from pneumonia inside of a week.

I see this where people just want to read a "24 hour become a expert" book on how to become an expert in 24 hours and then demand a 6 figure salary...they don't want to do the legwork.

Watch the video.

This will not work on someone who uses the bible as the authority and not marketing.

If you want to suggest a specific 3 minute interval, I can talk about that.
There is an excellent reason that man has added reference numbers to scripture in spite of being specifically warned not to. It's so that people can reference the same passages easily.

Sure we are, and this is clearly propaganda. It's not even necessary to watch the video--the title gives it away: "Did God create the world or did the world create itself?" Just one more sorry attempt to promote the lie that the creation/evolution controversy is about theism vs. atheism.

I'll wait for the book to come out.
Your video is packed full of persuasion methods, beginning to end.
I skimmed through it with the sound off. That's the only way I watch
propaganda videos. For example, at 1:07:46 there is a list of names.

It could be all fictional, but a 'List of names" is "social proof"
and one method of persuasion.

There is an example of persuading yourself that you are correct.
It's self delusion, and helpful for "getting things done" in many cases.
It's the
US vs Them
method.
All I asked for was one specific claim out of an hour and a half video.

Or someone who already has a plan.

The evidence of special creation is overwhelming. No need for yet another presentation to convince.

Survival depends on US vs Them. If I cooperate with Them, I'm doomed.

Evolution is the most evil theory ever devised.....

Why? What evil does it do?

It gets children to believe they are more evolved than others and have the right to shoot them in the head...... after all, they are just animals and it is survival of the fittest.....

To believe in evolution, then believe one human can not evolve into a better human than another would be contradictory, yes?

Animal husbandry can be found in scripture and is the same basis for evolution of all animals. Changes to the environment cause changes to the population. We all know that.

I don't know that you're doomed, but am willing to watch the experiment.
For example, I've lived directly across the street from a gay man for almost 20 years. I can't see that he is lawless in any aspect of his life. So people who claim that he is in the category of murderer ....simply, are wrong. Reality bites.

Science shows that gays are not living lawless lives. Being the same age as Jeffrey Dahmer, I've researched this.

I have a gay nephew who I love dearly. He is seriously screwed up (being gay probably contributes but is not the real reason), but he is not dangerous.

Great video... thanks for sharing!

The Theory of Evolution suggests no such thing. Individuals do not evolve, populations evolve.
