I'm supposed to debate this guy on Tuesday. The question is, "What is the most recent common ancestor of humans & monkeys?"

You guys were very helpful with a previous video script. For this next one I'm working on, I think I need to hear from some nerds who know something about computers and how to measure comparative complexity.

Yesterday, I got the following email: To which I replied: Imagine having the exact same conversation repeated point by point at least once a week every week for 25 years and counting, correcting the same mistakes every single time; except that those mistakes are never acknowledged and will...

For the last couple months, I've had great fun steamrolling Kent Hovind's seminar of [supposed] "Lies in the Textbooks". I've already done 17 episodes plus an intro correcting his many errors there. Supposed lies #18 and #19 both concern the Urey Miller experiment. I have my script for #18...

Someone posted the following message on a Creationism group on Facebook. I replied with the following video explaining what micro and macroevolution really are. That led to another attempt on this forum to explain evolution to a creationist.

I recently received the following email: While creationism contradicts all of science, and even contradicts itself, there are no contradictions in evolutionary theory whatsoever. I challenge you to produce one. You can't. I’ll be happy to. I’m writing this reply from the passenger seat of my...

PhD geneticist creationist defies all expertise to say that evolution is impossible. Oh, but he thinks the flood really happened.

The way science works is as an investigation, NOT a belief. We propose hypotheses which must be testable and potentially falsifiable, meaning there is some way to prove it wrong, if it is. There is no way to prove it right, because declaring anything to be the absolute truth tends to close our...

I'm still doing those conversations. I'll be happy to explain evolution to you. Let's start by assessing what you know already. So please explain how you think evolution works, and we'll go from there.

I'd say it is more important to teach actual factual truth as well as critical thinking instead of credulity. When I went to Prague, my host told me the Czech Republic was the most atheist country in Europe. So I'm surprised and disappointed to hear religious extremism coming from there. But I...

There could hardly be any sense debating you on an issue you don't know anything about. My policy is that I will not accept any challenge issued by someone who nominates themself. Some collective group has to identify themselves and choose you as their champion against me. That said, I would be...

I have noticed that every logical fallacy has been used as an argument for God and that every argument for God is a logical fallacy, meaning an argument that is fundamentally flawed, illogical, and thus invalid. For example, the fallacy of equivocation is using two different definitions...

This conversation began on Twitter, and I moved it here because it is not possible to discuss anything of depth on Twitter. I live in Texas, where some people actually think they were born Republican, and that they owe loyalty to the party of their birth. How anyone could have that impression...

A year or so ago, one Tim O'Neill wrote a blog post critiquing my debate with Tyler Vela on the topic of "Has Christianity Historically Been in Conflict with Science?". You can read my account of that debate here: The new blog post—the one that is so critical of me—is called “Aron Ra gets...

Someone just sent me a PM that is a little hard for me to understand. The guy won't tell me what he thinks his point is, and I have no idea what he's on about.

Someone contacted me asking for a video interview on a number of topics. Below are his list of citations. THE HISTORICAL PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPT OF GOD, TAO, FORCE, OR SPIRIT Proslogion - St. Anselm of Canturbury https://www.uta.edu/philosophy/faculty/burgess-jackson/Anselm,%20Proslogion.pdf...

Someone emailed me accepting my challenge. Just for clarification, that challenge is: I will prove that biological evolution is the truest, best explanation there is for the origin of our species, and that it is the only explanation of biodiversity with either evidentiary support or scientific...

Dennis Prager, the talk-show host behind the YouTube channel, "PragerU" posted a video showing how he has been duped into believing and promoting Intelligent Design "theory". I have already rebutted a number of his earlier videos, one where he said that atheism is irrational, another when he...

Now that this forum is up and running again, allow me to launch with another example of the insanity I get in email every day. So I replied: And this was his response: I may post a response to all this, once time allows. In the meantime, I'll leave this to any parties interested in engaging this...

In the chat of a debate on the Non-Sequitur show, Christian Wentz said that I was closed minded for saying that professional scientists shouldn't bother reading the propaganda posted on AnswersInGenesis. So I asked him, "can you show something AiG has ever published that you can show to be...
