I came accross this Ted talk by Erika Debeneditcs from MIT. I know that the title seemed like almost as if she is an ID-creationist, but she is not. She has a PhD in biological engineering, focusing on synthetic biology and directed evolution to design new proteins for numerous applications...

Systematics has come a long way since the pioneer work of Linnaeus. More recently, a phylogenetic approach to systematics (called cladistics) now classifies organisms explicitly according to their ancestral relationships. Previously, taxa could be paraphyletic, polyphyletic or monophyletic, but...

Just watched this video from the discovery institute by Stephen Meyer. It's just 10 minutes long, but I can summaries it as such. BACKGROUND: Michael Behe says that the bacterial flagellum (or rather all versions, there isn't just one) is irreducibly complex, i.e. it is an assembly of multiple...

Several months ago, I made series of long replies to the youtuber "Our Changing Climate" under his video about Monsanto. I do not particularly care for Monsanto (now part of Bayer), nor any other amoral mega corporation. However, I am fully aware that Monsanto and the so-called "GMOs" are often...

Something different for a change. I was just messing around Youtube to pass the boredom of lockdown, and then I saw a short clip from Real Time with Bill Maher. While I often like a lot of the stuff from his show, mostly from the comedy, I am still very wary since Bill Maher has a record of...

So yeah, recently Otangelo had conversations with Dan (Creation myths) and Dapper Dino (and after show) on Irreducible complexity and how to scientifically test it. Not surprisingly, he is completely off the mark on nearly everything. And explaining why this is the case to Otangelo often goes...

Yes, it is long story short (LSS) again. If you are new, I have talked about him and the videos he makes for the Discovery Institute before. More recently here, and on the main thread here. For almost a year now, me and Ration alMind have collaborated together with Jackson Wheat to make response...

A while back I started a thread on a guy on youtube called "Long Story Short" (I will be using the abbreviation LSS from now on). He makes short animated videos, the art style of which (as I've noted before) look very appealing, but the arguments he makes against evolution are so painfully...

It has been a while since I have posted something on the League of Reason. A lot has changed indeed. For more than a year now, along with others I have helped with Jackson Wheat as an editor for the scripts of his videos. Last year in August, we came across a channel that had (at the time) only...

This video explains my position on the use of Nuclear Energy. It's also an indirect response to AronRa's (seemingly) anti-nuclear power position as revealed by the answer he gave to my question during this hangout on Dragnauct Sylva's channel. As explained in the video, most of it isn't...

I have come in contact with a creationist youtuber Standing For Truth (SfT) and he wants to have a talk with me and others in the near future, although I have yet to get a response from him to know exactly when he wants to talk. I have listened to him multiple conversations with people like...

Recently, a youtuber called G Man made this challenge: Before I go into this, I will tackle some of the mistakes that G Man makes and a few problems that I have in the 2 minute video challenge. First: Yes, cells are indeed complex. Much more complex than G Man would probably be aware of. But...

Now before any American starts to criticize the title, read this first. Remember when Trump said during his campaign that he will ban all muslims entering the U.S. and everyone, including Trump supporters, didn't took that seriously, nothing but a marketing ploy to pander more voters? Well, it...

Just wanted to see what y'all think about the video I have made. My first that I have put on youtube.

I don't want to spam ToL. If this goes against the rules of ToL, I see no problem having it removed. I just wanted to see what y'all think about the video I have made. My first that I have put on youtube.

I am currently a bit bored so I have put this thread for anyone that wants to ask a question about evolution (my topic of interest). So go ahead, I will be happy to teach you and if anyone knows the answer to a question, feel free to provide an answer.

I went on Steve McRae's hangout last day and I disagreed with Steve on wether a human zygote is a human. I think a human zygote is a human by cladistic classification. Any organism that is descendant of a clade is a member of that clade. A human zygote is an organism that descended from the...

Last night, I had the pleasure to listen to a discussion during the hangout Open Discussion #171 on youtube channel "Debate Colosseum". I listened for not more than five minutes of the guy called Christian Hillbilly (CH). The typical creationist falsehoods of "information" and 99% mutations...

On youtube I am in an argument with someone arguing that sexes or genders shouldn't be treated as equals since a man and a women have definitive differences. Sure, we are a dimorphic species, that is still no justification for inequality with regard to treatment and rights. After arguing for a...

Not long ago, I noticed this video made by someone I just recently have known. There are a few things I disagree with Steve and I tried to explain my position to him. So did several others apparently, which he wasn't quite happy about it. He calls the atheist who disagree with him "militant...
