I was born and raised Catholic, no one from mainstream Catholicism believes in creationism. These are all ultra conservative Christian sects like evangelicals that believe this sort of crap.

If you don't know the difference between the Anglican church and the Roman Catholic church, you have no business commenting on this article.

"This is the kind of abuse that we're talking about" ????? Someone saying you are wrong isn't abuse.

You must differentiate between 7 day creationism, which is not credible and the fact that there is a creator who has created the universe through the Big Bang, evolution etc. now, I know full well that theistic evolution is not a scientific theory but it explains why the universe is so complex and perfectly formed. Other theories such as multiverse theory are equally non scientific. Philosophy attempts to explain the complexity of the universe because stuff don’t make itself.

It's no more fanciful to believe the world is flat, the moon is made of cream cheese whatever than it is to believe in a universe creating God.

Creationism is more of an evangelical protestant thing. I’ve never met a single catholic creationist. A brief search of pew forum seems to support this observation

Creationism mocked by a priest who follows a religion 1. which killed people just because they found earth was round ? 2. Which projects that earth was created first and then god said let there be light and then it lit up ? 3. Which believes that that messenger himself is the god but still killed by fellow humans who he preached ?

He can MOCK because nobody opposes him.

Prior to the emergence of the science of geology and early studies of strata and fossils, there was no such thing as "creationism", because no alternative view yet existed. It was pretty much just assumed that the Bible could be read as a literal account of the age of the earth. Christian scholars in the 17th century started looking for evidence of Noah's flood, they were in for a major surprise. The first ones searching for evidence of the Great Deluge were called Neptunists, because they could see evidence of erosion in land formations. Then came the Plutonists who could see volcanic and tectonic activity in land formations. Eventually, they ALL saw something very awkward - none of what they were seeing could happen from the biblical account of a young earth. The birth of geology was the death of young earth creationism, even if there's always a new young earth creationist born just yesterday rolling in town. It is no coincidence that with the rise of evolutionary theory, there has been a marked increase in life-expectancy, population growth, and a decrease in mortality from illness. Yet, there will always be those who will keep moving the goalposts, because science never offers the complete certainty of knowledge that theocrats claim to have. They will find some gap in our understanding of nature not explained by modern science to suggest that criticizing science supports creationism, and when a fruitful explanation eventually appears that in some way advances medicine and technology, they will just keep moving the goalpost and not explain why their creationism has never produced anything fruitful.

he literally looks like a demon saying all that lol all cuz hot young girls are around him.

Some people believe in the existence of a sky fairy and foster the idea on young, impressionable children’s minds. It’s called indoctrination. A disgraceful practice, because they can offer no evidence for one’s existence.

"Abuse of young people," says the Literal. Catholic. Priest?! Is introspection "taught" where he works? Irony?

He didn't mean it but he obliterated that guy. Daaaaaamn.

Old religious orders deny scientific evidence. Surviving ones update their story.

Amen.

I would be that old priest's bedfellow ANY day. He is a SMOKING hot fella!

Evolution is an interesting theory.

I am willing to be that this priest truly is not a believer in Jesus if he refuses to accept the Word of God. He is a fraud as a priest.

Does anyone understand the last sentence of this awesome priest ? I somehow heard him say that "to teach young people things that are not true is abuse" ?

Not unusual to have a priest in the CofE or RC Church who doesn't believe what God has clearly revealed, in fact most of them are heretical unbelievers. This gentleman is an ignoramus.

You don’t “believe “ evolution, you understand it

There is more evidence for creationism than there is any other plausible theory. The belief that we evolved from monkeys is absurd. However, I’m certain that some of us did

What is science? He says when we know it is not true .... When I study there was 9 planet, my Son is studying it is only 8. In just 20 years time one planet disappeared. As you investigate with your limited equipment and knowledge , things keep changing. You are just exploring God's creation , you are not the creator...

:)

Ultimately how do you know if anything is true?

It worse now than 13 years ago

I know a lot more atheistic creationists and flat earthers than religious ones. They just believe it's the government doing it.

I'm happy that they aren't on board with the extremist fringe stuff - which I knew - but this is still enough hypocrisy to drown a galaxy. ALL the Judeo-Christian myths are harmful. ALL of them are a business at best and a cult at worst. Don't let progressive-sounding nutters try to give you a dollar bill soaked in cat vomit.

I like this man. He’s an upstanding chap.

0:55.... so all of his followers must be childless adults ?

What has been crazy to me is the number of people I've spoken to who believed that the earth was only 3000 years old. Every year. ... Think about it.

He would be shocked if he opened his holy book...

the only reason there is a perception that religious people are creationists is because of the US and its idiotic brands of Christianity which does not reflect Old World beliefs.

Friendly fire will not be tolerated

The priest is like an elder David Mitchell. The same furious logic. Brillant.

CLICKBAIT ALERT!! CLICKBAIT ALERT!! No one mocked creationism in this video. At all.

"Does the lady want to carry on speaking" I'm anti religion and all, but that was just plain rude and sexist too. As if being a lady is an insult.

imagine calling yourself a Christian and saying the Bible isnt true thats just insane...guys like this are saying man's word holds more authority than God's word

Henry Drummond said the bible is a good book but its not the only book in Inherent the Wind...that is to say if one denies science and replaces it with convenient "religionism" then one practices ignorance

If you have to use an extremely ridiculous argument, you might not have a very good argument.

Quite clearly a strawman argument

This only goes to show that there are a large number of religious people who do not REALLY believe in their own religious tenets.

This is a good man, he has given his life to a religion, but when we know that parts of the religion are straight-up false he chooses to tell kids the truth instead. That said, without the creation myth doesn't the whole book series fall apart?

The Meg looks small, I expected to be bigger to be honest

A firm believer in God myself, I've never understood those who reject our biological and physical history. They are undeniable truths. Physics are extremely well-established and should honestly be a point of confidence for the faithful. Clearly something is at work to prevent new laws from popping into existence at random and to keep a set of habitable rules, both of which are intelligent by definition. But to say that the earth was made by magic is to miss the entire beauty of creation

Well how ignorant of the facts is this priest? He hasn’t a clue and banding myths alongside truths is despicable. With DNA and esp mitochondrial dna, we now know the creation account to be absolutely true.

Yeah laugh, but none of you have been to the moon to see if whether it’s cheese or not

A rare case when I have deep respect to a priest.

He never said anything against creationism. The Bible is clear who created the Earth.

Christianity (New Testament) is built on Judaism (Old Testament), and Islam (Further testament) onto both. They all call/believe the others mistaken about the same God's 'wishes' and history relates would kill each other, and within their own 'group' in the name of their peaceful loving God/Allah through taking offence in not very extreme circumstances. The key word is testament-what people believe through others telling, much of it ridiculous-ask Galileo!
