The whole "where did echo-location come from" argument is not only wrong, it's highly offensive to the many partially-sighted humans who learn to use spatial perception to navigate through their world. This is not due to some kind of "Daredevil" like "superpower", it is down to developing and monitoring senses we all have when we enter a space and assess whether it is a large, empty space or a small, cramped space. It is learning to pick up on the reflection of small sounds; the tapping of your stick, the sound of your footsteps etc, to develop a sense of your surroundings. (I am aware that I am over-simplifying a lengthy and complex learning process!). Basically, if there were a need, over time, humans could develop echo-location too!

To get a human to understand something as big as a solar system or as small as a bacteria takes some bit of imagination because our brains evolved to survive in that medium world filled with things moving at medium speeds.

[@BumroyV2]

I don't know why, but I love seeing creationist pull some concept out of their ass that has nothing to do with evolution. When Dave brought up continuous environmental tracking and describing an autonomous vehicle, I immediate wondered how he imagines animals with no nervous systems, fungi, and unicellular organisms process the world around them. I thought creationists believe humans aren't animals because we're so much smarter, but apparently jellyfish have a sophisticated response system akin to a Google supercomputer.

Aron, I (almost) always enjoy your takedowns of the farcical magic models, and your choices of short clips (e.g. "you are always wrong") frequently make me laugh out loud, but this video's choice of guest is particularly amusing. Mr. Wheat sounds like he not only has such a firm grasp of the material that it's second nature to him, but also that he *can't* quite grasp how anyone could be as fundamentally misinformed as Big Wave Dave. I keep getting the impression that he's really saying something like "WTF made you think that?! What is *wrong* with you?" I'm going to have to watch some of Jackson Wheat's videos next, maybe have yet another channel subscription. If you're reading this, Mr. Wheat, I say "well done". This is well outside my expertise, so another aspect of watching these videos is learning new material, though the humor of hearing the nonsense and rebuttal of that nonsense is huge. I still have issues with the idea of "species", but that's another topic.

They even misrepresented their self-driving car analogy by implying that it uses their 'Continuous Environmental Tracking'. That is not a phrase used anywhere in the field of autonomous vehicles. It does somewhat describe the operation of the sensor suite, but is just a word-salad of their own device. There is no single buzzword for the process described, you could call it what you like and each operator tends to have their own terminology. I spent 6 years at Volvo IT working with Computer Vision for autonomous vehicles. I never encountered the term. I can find zero non-creationist references to CET in literature. Not from Volvo, not from Waymo/Google It rather makes the example redundant, just piggybacking on new tech to appear uptodate. He then proceeds to posit that animals work like computers with his repeating set of steps, its just all over the shop. Yes, if you asked me to create a fox whose coat changes colour seasonally, that is how I would lmplement that as a software engineer. But that is massively irrelevant since he is supposed to be discussing biology. Maybe it was an attempt to imply Intelligent Design, which is indeed what you get if i write the robofox software. I suspect one of their engineers had their hand on the wheel for that part of the script

[@johnb8940]

His explanation of how he thinks a transitional creature from shrew to bat would be a half formed doomed creature just helps to display their complete lack of understanding of how features evolve. They think that what we see as a fully formed appendage or trait would be built piece by piece by previous life forms instead of the way it really is in which traits gradually change over time. It isn't a "half wing" or a "half eye". And that's what they just can't seem to grasp.

Wavy Davey almost told the truth, by mistake, at the end when he said "the point of all these lessons is not to win arguments, it's to be able to reach people for Jesus Christ". In other words, what he teaches is not science and not even fact, it is faith. So why doesn't he just admit that? Because lying to Children, in order to brainwash them into his religion, is his whole purpose.

You mean like evolutionists force their religion to be taught in schools with tax payers money and lying to kids that the evolution religion actually has evidence for it when it doesn’t.

I know I'm super late to the party, but... literally the only context I've heard "constant environmental monitoring" in is robotics. I dunno if poor Wavey Davey is applying a robotics concept to evolution because he doesn't understand either of them very well, or if he-- or whoever writes his scripts for him, at any rate; I'm far too nice and willing to give people like him the benefit of the doubt-- is doing it to make animals seem more robotic/primitive and therefore make Humans more "not animals." Could be both honestly. Personally the idea of animals being reduced to the same level as a self driving car (which you can, ironically, stop with a salt circle) is just insulting to animals. If you've ever had the joy of living with a dog, cat, or obnoxious feathery dinosaur, you know they absolutely have feelings; favorite things, dislikes, desires, opinions, and complex relationships with others, just like humans do. They even have some grasp of dishonesty; dogs can learn to fake a limp for treats and affection. At least when dogs are dishonest, their motives are pretty transparent.
