Confronting Ray Comfort: Debunking "Evolution VS God"

[@MegaChickenfish]

Major props to going into your background as a 9-11 conspiracy theorist. It shows emotional growth to be able to share those things and move past them rather than hiding them.

[@fuzzywuzzy1355]

The only thing you need to know to debunk the dvd "evolution vs god" is to realize that Ray Comfort made it.

[@johngotti3107]

The world hated me it will hate you also”

[@AngrySanta]

Debunking Ray Comfort is like assembling a 1 piece puzzle which reads "You have not completed the puzzle"; While it presents no challenge people still have a go at it. Ray does not care about debate, He does not care about truth, He does not care about reality. Ray just wants to preach and nothing more.

[@Hodoss]

I think the debunking is for the others, not Ray.

[@ab_ab_c]

There's nothing to debunk. Ray just shares the gospel truth with people. Evolution is an unsubstantiated & unscientific fairy tale for atheists & other nitwits. Evolution has never proven their molecules to mankind beliefs are true in any way--they have NO compelling/convincing evidence or proof & a cogent explanation. They regularly misinterpreted & misrepresented the available evidence to fit their biased beliefs & to deceive people with creative drawings because they know they can't use the fossils to convince people of their false beliefs. It's nothing but a fraud when you look deep enough into the actual available evidence.

​@@BishbudYep, and it appears it was intended for you 😊

[@thekbshouse]

What Ray will do is to ignore it. This is his living, he'll keep shoveling this shit because it's only thing he can do. There's well documented evidence of him being told what evolution is and soon after he shows up somewhere in public asking how the first dog who manages to evolve eyes could find another dog that happened to evolve eyes. Ray's cognitive dissonance is what feeds him. Being willingly ignorant is his job. That being said, this video was sublime. Well done.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

I don't think he has cognitive dissonance. I don't even think he buys the shit he's shoveling. He's just chasing dollars. If, hypothetically, he publicly accepted evolution, just imagine how the Christians would trash him and people who accept science already don't trust him. He'd have to get a job at 7-11 or something.

[@thekbshouse]

Paul L I don't think that's entirely the case. He could be making much more than he is, I think if he was in it just for the dishonesty. His cognitive dissonance is that he is preaching what he says is the truth and speaks against truth that doesn't have his particular god placed in there. If it can't fit god he'll make up shit and ignore it. From what I have heard Ray is generally a nice guy and probably good friend to have. I don't think he is the kind of guy who would do this JUST for the cash. There's people like Peter Popoff who have demonstrated to be frauds and just in it for the money- Ray isn't like that. If Ray is in it for the money, he is quite an actor and willingly does less money than he could if he went all in.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Well, I'm not going to sit and argue all day that Ray knows. I guess it's good enough that we both accept science. I can't really produce any objective evidence. I still think he's a lot more deceitful than you might think despite he's charming demeanor. Popoff was a real scumbag though wasn't he? He's still on TV in Europe and people are trying to get him off. His British TV licence was revoked but they still get him through some technicality. The bastard is still making millions.

[@musicbruv]

Videos like this show the difference between Science and creationist, the science is explained with evidence, creation just say god did it.

[@AddamMiller]

***** The only times, in scientific history, God has been proposed to explain anything...was at the edges of the current scientific understandings. In effect, in those circumstances, those who proposed "god" where, in fact, proposing a god of the gaps. Using the god concept only to explain that which was not yet currently understood about how the physical world operates. Also, when reviewing scientific history, the VAST majority of those god claims as an explanitory power, where before we understood cosmology, quantum theory, relativity, cell theory, germ theory and many other pillars of modern scientific knowledge. Those who proposed god or gods to explain nature in science, including Newton, did so from a place of ignorance. Not from a place of understanding, research and discovery. It was always used when the extent of what they could understood failed in describing a particular phenomena. So, no...science does NOT in fact testify to a god. This is simply wishful thinking on your part. A distortion of history and the scientific process of discovery. Not to mention an abject denial of the progress the scientific community has achieved in the 150+ years since god was an acceptable scientific explanation. You sir, obviously don't know what the hell you're talking about.

I have always felt that making mistakes and learning from them is a part of life. We may not like looking back at those moments, but taking the time to reflect on how you were before and how you are now can show you just how much you've grown. We grow each and every day from our experiences. My early teenage life was a very turbulent time. I suffered a lot of abuse, and I bought into peoples lies in order to gain acceptance, only for it to be turned around on me. I was impressionable, as are we all. I won't claim to understand everything. We make mistakes and errors in our judgments, especially when emotions get in the way, which I'm still guilty of allowing my emotions to get the better of me from time to time. Admitting your mistakes and conceding defeat is not "surrendering" or giving in. It's admitting you have made a mistake, and you willingly accept that you have. We should strive to better ourselves, if we do not admit our mistakes we can never correct them, and will continue to make them and look foolish for ignoring the truth. Creationists should not try to play around in a field that they obviously have no understanding of. It's as simple as that. I myself am not a Scientist, so I can't claim to fully comprehend how complex it is, and I won't pretend to.

The part where you destroy Ray's argument against evolution using "kinds" was DEFINITELY one of the best parts of this video.

neuemage False you say, really? What is your evidence for this claim, as you just offered your opinion? HERE IS MY EVIDENCE YOU'RE WRONG ! The Nazi book burnings were a campaign conducted by the German Student Union to ceremonially burn books in Nazi Germany and Austria by classical liberal, anarchist, socialist, pacifist, communist, Jewish, and other authors whose writings were viewed as subversive or whose ideologies undermined the National Socialist administration. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_book_burnings Nazi backlash and coming to America Inevitably, Einstein’s fame and the great success of his theories created a backlash. The rising Nazi movement found a convenient target in relativity, branding it “Jewish physics” and sponsoring conferences and book burnings to denounce Einstein and his theories. The Nazis enlisted other physicists, including Nobel laureates Philipp Lenard and Johannes Stark, to denounce Einstein. One Hundred Authors Against Einstein was published in 1931. When asked to comment on this denunciation of relativity by so many scientists, Einstein replied that to defeat relativity one did not need the word of 100 scientists, just one fact. www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/181349/Albert-Einstein/256586/Nazi-backlash-and-coming-to-America Here is a short list of persecuted authors by the Nazi Party who not only burned their books but also hounded them out of German public offices, universities laboratories. Others were sent to the concentration camps:- Among the German-speaking authors whose books student leaders burned that night were Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, Bertolt Brecht, Max Brod, Otto Dix, Alfred Döblin, Albert Einstein, Lion Feuchtwanger, Marieluise Fleißer, Leonhard Frank, Sigmund Freud, Iwan Goll, George Grosz, Jaroslav Hašek, Heinrich Heine, Ödön von Horvath, Heinrich Eduard Jacob, Franz Kafka, Georg Kaiser, Erich Kästner, Alfred Kerr, Egon Erwin Kisch, Siegfried Kracauer, Karl Kraus, Theodor Lessing, Alexander Lernet-Holenia, Karl Liebknecht, Georg Lukács, Rosa Luxemburg, Heinrich Mann, Klaus Mann, Ludwig Marcuse, Karl Marx, Robert Musil, Carl von Ossietzky, Erwin Piscator, Alfred Polgar, Erich Maria Remarque, Ludwig Renn, Joachim Ringelnatz, Joseph Roth, Nelly Sachs, Felix Salten, Anna Seghers, Arthur Schnitzler, Carl Sternheim, Bertha von Suttner, Ernst Toller, Kurt Tucholsky, Jakob Wassermann, Frank Wedekind, Franz Werfel, Grete Weiskopf, Arnold Zweig and Stefan Zweig. Not only German speaking authors were burned but also French authors like Victor Hugo, André Gide, Romain Rolland, Henri Barbusse, American writers such as Ernest Hemingway, Upton Sinclair, Theodore Dreiser, Jack London, John Dos Passos, and Helen Keller as well as English authors Joseph Conrad, D.H. Lawrence, H.G. Wells and Aldous Huxley, Irish writer James Joyce and Soviet authors including Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Maxim Gorki, Isaak Babel, Vladimir Iljic Lenin, Vladimir Nabokov, Leo Tolstoy, Leon Trotsky, Vladimir Vladimirovich, Ilja Ehrenburg. The burning of the books represents a culmination of the persecution of those authors whose verbal or written opinions were opposed to Nazi ideology. Many artists, writers and scientists were banned from working and publication. Their works could no longer be found in libraries or in the curricula of schools or universities. Some of them were driven to exile (like Walter Mehring and Arnold Zweig),others were deprived of the citizenship (for example Ernst Toller and Kurt Tucholsky) or forced into a self-imposed exile from society (e.g. Erich Kästner). For other writers the Nazi persecutions ended in death. Some of them died in concentration camps, due to the consequences of the conditions of imprisonment or were executed (like Carl von Ossietzky, Erich Mühsam, Gertrud Kolmar, Jakob van Hoddis, Paul Kornfeld, Arno Nadel and Georg Hermann, Theodor Wolff, Adam Kuckhoff, Rudolf Hilferding). Exiled authors despaired and committed suicide, for example: Walter Hasenclever, Ernst Weiss, Carl Einstein, Walter Benjamin, Ernst Toller, Stefan Zweig. Heinrich Heine, whose work was also burned, wrote in his 1820-1821 play Almansor the famous admonition, “Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen": "Where they burn books, they will in the end also burn people." So, do you now concede you and your opinions are demonstrably WRONG?

[@atheistsermons]

Andre Mackey We can have a discussion about this. One thing at the time otherwise our comments get too long and complicated. The Bible does associate virginity with purity on many occasions with the most vastly known example to be the virgin birth. Adultery is one of the 10 commandments. Unmarried couples having sex received the death penalty. According to Deuteronomy and Leviticus, if a virgin has sex outside of marriage, she is defiled. Of course, there are plenty of Christian denominations who reject this and come up with metaphorical interpretations, which in my opinion, is better than making virginity, or the lack thereof, an issue. Which denomination are you, may I ask?

***** You can't take things out of context in the bible. Levitical Law was done away with when Jesus died for our sins and accepted gentiles because the jews rejected Him. Sin is sin. We must pray for forgiveness, repent and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Every man sins, but we can ask for forgiveness. We can't continually commit the same sins over and over and say, "I'll just confess it again and it's okay"; that is not repentance. It is not a get out of jail free card. To truly be saved, you must repent and turn away from sin and ask God for help with this. We are saved by God's grace and we are to try our best to live a holy life. No man is/was sinless, except Jesus. I don't care what religion anyone is as long as they follow God's word, the Bible, and do no distort, manipulate or use out of the wrong context to suit their lifestyle.

Thansk again for all the effort you put into your videos and might I add I typed this up on my phone so there are more then likely typos etc.

[@Jammsbro1]

Watching hovind brainwash kids in this was disturbing and angering.

[@Tezwah]

frosted1030 The one that was in this video as jammsbro stated. We are all aware that Kent is in jail.... what was the point of your comment?

[@markymarkali]

He can't brainwash a smart kid, the problem is a smart kid is only going to be brainwashed by the dumb parent that this scum bag panders to

[@Jammsbro1]

I agree in part Mark. But I was a smart kid. Regularly the the smartest kid in class. The main problem was that while I was smart, I was also trusting and naive and had no reason to disbelieve everyone around me (family, teachers, community) I ended up being religious for twenty years. It's easy to brainwash these poor kids when it surrounds them and they see nothing other than the lies they are force fed.

[@Tezwah]

Being smart wont necessarily protect you from being brainwashed.

[@Stoneth]

This was absolutely beautiful. I applaud the work that went into this very informative video. We need more people to stand up to spreaders of misinformation like Ray.

[@Akira625]

Now this is the best reaming of Ray Comfort I've seen yet, poor Bananaman is gonna need a lot of Preparation-H from this. Well done, King Crocoduck!

[@InfinityDz]

I'm usually a calm person but that Eric Hovind clip at the end made me wanna punch him in the face. Anyway, this is a great video, however I can see now why Ray Comfort didn't bother to watch it all; you're presenting great arguments here but that guy has the attention span of a fish. Plus he knows that if he digs deeper into what you're saying there won't be a way out for him. The only way to get him to actually watch the video with seriousness is to challenge him to debunk it.

[@DodderingOldMan]

Your story of overcoming your irrational beliefs regarding 9/11 conspiracies was genuinely moving. Seriously, good for you. Now, I know my words don't mean much and that this is a cliche, but I'd recommend trying to let go of the hatred you profess for Ray and his ilk. It gives them too much power. Laugh at them, don't hate them. They're too pathetic for that.

[@belaireguy4117]

***** Thanks. My "evolution" to reason and to question was a painful transition for me as well. After all this time it was just a switch I didn't know I had was turned on. If the book is simply read as one with no presuppositions it reeks of just everything bad. My mother also had a fit but understood and I quickly stepped away and let it go. Ironically she has never read the bible though I completely understand her having the mindset she would be unable to discard. As far as your world views I often wonder the same. Thanks for your testimony my friend. It works on my "peace" to know there are others out there like me. Best to you and yours. Take care.

[@mattcumby7604]

This is the very first vid of yours that I've watched. Based on this one alone I'm subbing. I've studied biology, chemistry, and physics (not as in depth as you have it seems) and everything you say is grounded in scientific evidence and study (obviously), Enjoyed this vid and looking forward to watching more. Cheers!

[@buzzyd6873]

Probably one of the best videos I've watched this year. This video also is eye opening to how naive I am to the theory of evolution. (and possibly the majority of the population.) Either way amazing video!

[@gratefulapostate3123]

When I think of Ray Comfort I think of the quote: "It's very difficult to win an arguement with a genius, but its impossible to win an arguement with an idiot". Creationists work very hard at not understanding evolution.

[@Hamann9631]

Grateful Apostate. Actually we understand it and see it weaknesses.

[@Baud2Bits]

Great video. Ray should not sleep Comfortably at night but I suspect his cash stuffed mattress is cosy.

[@jamieaslanian885]

Coming from the U.K. I wasn't aware how abundant misinformation was in the United States. I now have a little incite to why this whole Creation Vs Natural Formation debate exists. 43% of Americans deny not what is "true", but what is obvious!

[@AymanRSaleh]

@ 31:30 I'm not sure the specimen you used to illustrate a pig belongs in the same domain as humans. In fact, it is probably more accurate to describe that specimen as a virus.

[@edgardavid1653]

Man I've seen a couple of vídeos by you and I always get the feeling I'm getting schooled. Sir, you're not a youtuber, you're an educator. Keep up the AMAZING Work!

[@Snailman3516]

that last part when eric hovind ripped up a textbook made me angry. now I know how big of jerks these guy are.

[@thephysicsgamer123]

I don't think Ray's going to be able to sit down for a few weeks after this.

[@Reignerific]

As a New Zealander, I deeply apololgise for this fool's idiocy. I promise New Zealand is a progressively secular nation and for the most part, does not subscribe to this rubbish.

[@kristinaplays2924]

Maybe that's why he fled to America XD

[@scorpiogenius]

Very true. This idiot from NZ and the other colossal moron Ken Ham from Australia, defaming both great secular nations internationally. Ham always makes it a point to flaunt his Australian origins and it is really pissing people off here in Queensland. What brand ambassadors we've got for our nations! fml...

[@kristinaplays2924]

Why would you ever leave NZ? Isn't it the most beautiful country in the world?

[@igs8698]

Your 'fool' comment against Ray is just?, good? and right?. Jesus sternly warned us not to call anyone a fool. "You have heard that it was said to them of old, "you shall not murder", and whoever murders shall be in danger of the death sentence. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother without a cause, shall be in danger of the death sentence. And whever says to his brother, Raca (empty head) shall be in danger of the Sanhedran. But he who says 'you fool', shall be in danger of the fires of Hell." Matthew 5. Are you not afraid of the judgement of God? has God got such little esteem in your estimation that you can live and speak as you want regardless of His instruction?

[@CynicalBastard47]

+Gerhard It's not his instruction. The bible was written by men.

[@danyboy1120]

Thank you for this video. Truly thank you know this is 8 years old but from someone who was indoctrinated to Christianity for 15 years, and forces to ignore any secular science this makes me feel vindicated for leaving Christianity behind.

[@bigq2696]

Bro I’m not even a Christian but it’s people like Ray that makes me stay away from Christians and not wanna be one.

[@spiritbx1337]

The advantage of doing what ray does is that it requires 0 knowledge to be "right" in EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT, he knows every single answer ever asked in the world by simply mentioning God. It's like that kid in primary school telling everyone about how much he knows about sex by making stuff up, just to try to look cool.

[@hannuala-olla4302]

To "God made it" only poses a follow-up question: "How god did it?"

[@anzwertree]

Ray Comfort is by far my favorite young earth comedian.

[@3rett115]

Wow, that was epic. Very informative, educational, entertaining, and moving. It's beyond amazing that one person produced such an accurate and concise video. Bravo!

[@GeraldAllen]

Santa, Easter bunny, tooth Fairy and God are all childhood fantasies. Please grow up and be adult.

[@thekenny1175]

Belief that there is a Creator is as old as man is. It is childish, however, to claim that everything can come from nothing because you don't want to be accountable to God for all of your sins. needGod.com

[@GeraldAllen]

***** Then who made god? It had to be something because it didn't come from nothing. It did come from the heads of man and perpetrated by greedy men who wanted to control others, just like it is now. Christians love to control the lives of others. And just who said that the universe was nothing? Not a scientist, there is no such thing as nothing in science. Not even in a vacuum.

[@thekenny1175]

Gerald Allen God is eternal. He has no creator. He always has been, and always will be. Your statements on nothing are irrational.

[@GeraldAllen]

***** Like your magic book? Gods have come and gone. This one also will pass. He is as believable as the Easter Bunny.

[@redrock6488]

***** The are over 1000 different gods worshiped in the world today and over 33 thousand DIFFERENT Christian denominations that all have very different opinions of what the bible actually says. I would say that it is very " irrational " of you to feel that YOUR opinion is the only right one. You are using an ancient book written by unknown authors that even Christians can't agree on.

[@servals2384]

Thank you for the video, it was very educational and stirring. {The music was also nice}. I cannot believe that a grown man could stand in front of so many children and deny evolution so easily. Being a major dinosaur lover, I was extremely irritated by that man's actions. If it weren't for his disgusting behavior I might pity him for his ignorance.

[@Phoeni08]

Great video. I truly feel for you as you are obviously getting a lot of hate from many people who disagree. I was wondering, as I'm quite sure you are a scientist, what particular field do you work on? I'm a geologist, and although I do have some basic grasp of the other sciences I found you have a great skill in presenting them in simple ways.

[@KingCrocoduck]

Thanks :) I'm a physicist

[@Hamann9631]

Santiago Lopez. "hate"? He is getting people destroying his bad logic and weak arguments. He is getting clear refutations of his lies.

[@simonlee962]

your eloquence gives me chills. Your explanation of the method of science by prediction and falsification was elating. Never before have I been satisfied with a video attempting to dismantle creationism. The method is strong within you. Keep up the good work.

[@Desertphile]

Only a large black banana comforts Comfort.

[@rayelgatubelo]

Unfortunately, he couldn't get one to save his life, and is forced to rely on the likely impotent Kirk Cameron for that. Ho!

[@WildwoodClaire1]

those are too flacid for Ray's comfort.

[@Longbowgun]

KC You have taught me much about science. As a new skeptic and new atheist (science actually proves that we invent gods. My "AH HA!" moment was after watching "Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman: Did we Invent god?") I had wrongly assumed scientific facts were immutable. You have given me much to think and read about. Thank you for this video.

[@KingCrocoduck]

Thanks for watching :) consider subscribing.

[@pragyanandanbanjare193]

My first video which started questioning beliefs, then I watched Atheist experience and soon became Atheist. A proud atheist

[@toby1439]

It doesn't matter if you are Creationist or not. The fact is is that these documentaries aren't really good at all. They don't have good film and source structure to be a legitimate Christian documentary. I've seen better documentaries that have the Creationist or Intelligent Design narrative. This one however is not one of them.

[@rapturas]

Some people will only believe in their truth, no matter how overwhelming the odds are against them, and of course it is easier for them to continue the lie than to admit they were wrong! From what I can tell, a person that believes in god or the super natural tends to believes it because they "feel" it is right. Emotions seem to be able to override a person's ability to think critically and when they lack a basic understanding of science then it is no surprise that a person's imagination fuelled by emotions goes wild.

[@Rignasty15x]

Amazing video, will definitely be showing it to anyone who doesn't understand evolution!

[@AlaaBanna]

Man, thank you! I have watched and enjoyed every minute of the the video, especially the bogus about "same kind" Ray Comfort keeps repeating, When I saw the original video Ray didn't like the bacteria example.. I mean come'on what else does he want? he's using a non-scientific term and claims that nobody is answering him. Anyway this video is just the perfect answer. Thank you again!

[@CassiniGalaxy]

We had similar experiences King Crocoduck only my conspiracy theories revolved around Planet X and ancient aliens. Your story was almost word for word on what I went through. Please keep making videos--you're very good at articulating and I enjoy your logic.

[@WildwoodClaire1]

Devastating! Brilliant! Well done!

[@KingCrocoduck]

Thanks Claire :) Do you forgive me for mistaking minerals for rocks?

[@THEMAKDON]

No thank you I don't believe in magic

[@Susky97]

Nice video, KC. I am a teacher and for the most part try very hard to steer clear of any mention of religion in my classroom, other than for dramatic effect or as a case study in English literature topics. None of my students know I am an atheist because I never advertise this to them. I would like to be able to discuss things as openly as you do here, but it would be hypocritical of me to do so. At any rate, I am happy there are people like you challenging the fundamentalists of the world. Keep up the good work.

[@KingCrocoduck]

I might recommend the channel Grappling Ignorance to you. He too is an atheistic English teacher, and he protects himself by never showing his face. Perhaps he can provide you with some inspiration :)

[@Susky97]

King Crocoduck Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check the channel out.

[@smb123211]

That is very sad. Religion is uniquely universal and human and probably the greatest influence on human existence. The idea that we should avoid the Bible - the greatest influence in Western art, music and literature - strikes me as cultural suicide. When I was a kid (a zillion years ago) we studied religions in public school, dressed in costumes (surely politically incorrect) and made a notebook about each one. As an atheist, I don't get it.

[@Andrath]

smb123211 I actually recommend to people to read the Bible. All of it. We need more atheists.

[@smb123211]

Emiel Kollof I look it from a cultural viewpoint. To purposely guard against mentioning probably the greatest influence in Western culture seems almost insane. It's as if one were to teach astronomy without mentioning gravity or genetics without mentioning genes .

[@jhhwild]

To creationists a "kind" are two animals that look similar, they see that dogs and coyotes look similar and thus are the same "kind" however, a cat looks different from a coyote therefore isn't the same "kind". They go by looks, not scientific facts. If there is specialization in a bird they see the two as the same "kind" because it still looks like a bird. They want to see a bird change into a crab or something which isn't how evolution works.

[@xMoonstaniccax]

Until this man stops being paid for what he does, he will never change his tune. I am also petty convinced he knows most of his arguments are total bullshit, but will never admit it due to the pain it would cause his wallet.

[@xMoonstaniccax]

Also i doubt he will understand your use of the large words in your vocabulary lol

[@KingCrocoduck]

xMoonstaniccax It's a good thing that knocking sense into him wasn't my purpose then :)

[@xMoonstaniccax]

King Crocoduck Good job either way, i like your stuff

[@danielbentley8779]

As a Christian our ministry is simple. We tell you what we believe and we are supposed to leave the decision up to you. We aren't supposed to convince you. What we all believe is our choice. You have the right to think the way you do and I have the right to think the way I do. If you want to ridicule me than that's your choice. But true Christianity can't accurately be compared to conspiracy theorists. Jesus told his followers to go to the uttermost parts of the world. If we are rejected than we are supposed to move on. Jesus told his followers to go to the entrance of the city and dust off their clothes. Jesus understood that our message would be a choice and if those listening did not accept than they were not worthy of the message. If you do not want to see the message than I'm giving you the opportunity to leave... ... ... ... The message is this. Every person is has broken God's moral law. And as criminals we have a price to pay for our crime. We are all guilty of disobedience and lying. None of us are moraly perfect. So God in his love for us gave up his only son. His only son, Jesus, left his home to come to this Earth as a man to die. When Jesus died he payed for the crime that we've all committed. Only Jesus could do this as a moraly perfect man. Jesus did this so that you could have a relationship with God. If you want to have that relationship with God than you must accept Jesus. How to accept Jesus? You accept him by accepting Jesus for who he claimed to be and for what he claimed to do. You must confess that Jesus is the LORD of your life. And that Jesus died to pay for your crime against God and that Jesus rose again from the dead and is still alive today. This is the message Jesus told us to go and preach. If you accepted Jesus than now you should be baptized in order to let others know that you are now a follower of Jesus. The scripture that I used: Romans 10: 9-11 John 1: 12-13 John 3: 16 If you did not accept Jesus than that is your choice. And now I move on without bothering any one else.

[@nathanglazier7460]

no there is no point messaging ray or posting comments to him on his youtube videos. all he ever does is repost the same messages he's posted 100s of times (despite being repeatedly corrected) and then starts trying to climb his 'moral high ground'. he truly is the pidgeon that you really don't want to play chess with. he WILL knock over the pieces, defecate on the board, and fly home to the DI to claim victory.

[@longfellowrocked]

KC, you have provided the simplest and easiest to understand explanations of scientific theory, it's purpose, and of Evolution to date in this video. Each of your arguments in themselves are logical and act as building blocks to the more complex theories. I must admit, however, that at times I felt somewhat embarrassed because of my ignorance, in light of your obvious mastery in understanding the subjects you explained...sometimes feeling a bit like a child being led by the hand. :P Anyway, great job..it was thoroughly insightful and enjoyable. I would like to discuss a theory of logic with you some time..if you EVER have the time. :) Thanks again for this great video.

[@typicalvirgo2324]

Love the video. Just next time use a few more Layman's terms or at least put a glossary of terms in the description. I had to rewind a few times.
