One example of a biblical error we love bringing up, is that the bible falsely claims that rabbits chew the cud. But actually, this statement isn't as false as we think it is.
Rabbits, like guinea pigs, eat their own droppings. The internal stomachs of cows, rabbits etc. are so badly designed...
Hey guys. I'm working on debunking an old creationist book (called "Life -- How did it get here? By evolution or by creation?") and I'm trying to debunk these quotes:
Googling for this "on call" magazine suggests it's either a submagazine of the Boston Globe or an "english medical...
Hey guys. I'm working on debunking Life: How did it get here? By evolution or creation?, and they have tons of quotes by supposedly famous scientists denouncing evolution. I'm working my way through them figuring out which are quote mines, which were said by creationists without credentials...
Hey guys
I always felt ExtantDodo had one of the absolute best channels for debunking creationists.
But he seems to have left youtube. (Well nowadays you can't even see when they last logged in, can you?)
Does anyone know of a way to reach ExtantDodo?
(I'm asking cause I want to get his...
So Shawn has posted a new video in which we get to see once again how defenseless children are brainwashed into believing creationism and undermining any education they might get. But let's not just cringe and move on. I'd like to debunk the video. Cause one thing you can praise about it is that...
Here's a video a christian sent me:
Well that's pretty much yelling "bullshit" all over. But does anyone have a link to a good debunking, something gullible Christians can maybe be directed to, instead of just "That's wrong, end of story"?
Is there someone here who knows a bit about...
We all know the video, I'm sure. The one where creationists ask Richard Dawkins "Can you give an example of a mutation that adds information?" and he doesn't reply for a few seconds, cause he's wondering if he should kick the creationists out. And creationist like to pretend he was stumped by...
This curiosity is still nagging me. I gotta play a big devil's advocate here.
Basically the question is: when someone does a "24 hour blogtv charity drive" or whatever: how do we know it's not a scam?
Now, chill out peeps, I don't seriously think it is one. Dprjones etc. have my complete trust...
We always jump on creationists and scold them for claiming that outdated and debunked fossils are still found in our textbooks today, or claiming that any kind of other strawmen they use came from a real textbook. But are our textbooks really that outdated? I never really checked.
I had a look...
I'm planning on translating some of the great youtube videos, and for that I occasionally need to subtitle things which are written on the screen in the original.
Windows Movie maker has a subtitling option, but it's very weird. It's hard to control where on the screen the text will end up, how...
I'm debating with a stubborn christian who thinks the astronomy around the time of Jesus' birth and cruxifiction unmistakably marked divine events. She's basing it on these videos:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Part 6
Part 7
Part 8
Part 9
Part 10
Part 11
Part 12
Part 13
Part 14
Part 15...
I hope this is in the right section. It won't let me search the forum for "abortion" cause the word is too common..
I just watched this interesting youtube video:
What do you guys think about that?
Now, I'm totally pro-choice. But it's kind of difficult to argue when they bring up something...
So, I was sitting in the car with my uncle and cousin, and they were chatting about conspiracy theories, about Obama, Zeitgeist, whatever. My cousin said that you should be at least a bit openminded toward such theories. (He's not some kind of nutjob, he was just saying you shouldn't dismiss...
