Hammurabi & Eggs (feat Digital Hammurabi) - (Ken) Ham & AiG News

[@terryriley8963]

Jumping between your guests Dr. Josh and Megan to the AIG panel is like listening to two highly intelligent, experienced and informative people to then watching Homer Simpson with Dumb and Dumber sat next to him making stuff up to try and give the impression they are intelligent, experienced and informative people.

Note that the Polynesians used knotted string 'nets' to make maps of the stars as navigation aids at sea. Remember that not all communication and records are "writing".

[@DBCisco]

@Clade Starfish Exactly. Even in the 20th century we used punch cards for massive amounts of high speed communication, data storage and advanced calculations.

[@pete_lind]

Your pagan habits is still here when church saved them ... Xmas is pagan origin , as is easter , mid summer , halloween , cinco mayo a.s.o Maya strings , those are made from material that nature can destroy very fast , there is no natural fabrics that last even 10 years when exposed to the elements . Mayan culture was gone when Europeans arrived to central America , or we would know about their cities roads and fortresses that have been found lately . Same that has happened with Egyptian culture that had fortifications 1000 year before Europeans . Chinese did not say a word of the wall to Marco Polo , and few others Europeans that visited Chine around same time , when they wanted to forget that costly part of their history . Like Americans replaced their horses to cars , today roads are not made for horses , so clearly Americans never used horses ... thats a valid argument , but not true .

[@yamiyomizuki]

@Clade Starfish i think you mean the aztec codices, the mayans had pretty much collapsed centuries before europeans arived

[@yamiyomizuki]

@Clade Starfish you are very definitely thinking of the aztec codices, there were aztec codices which were destroyed. We actually have a decent amount of written work from the mayan era because it was carved in stone. Paper would not have survived unattended in that climate long enough for the spanish to get to it.

[@yamiyomizuki]

@Clade Starfish i googled it and yes there apparently were mayan codices. For future reference don't use wikipedia as a source 8f you want people to take you seriously.

I. LOVE. That. You. Drew. Her. Breastfeeding!!!! Just... thank you, that was beautiful!!! I know it's not the point of this video, most people probably don't think it's a big deal, but I've seen it be a big deal, so I'm SO. HAPPY. You celebrated her feeding her child!!

[@chadatchison145]

I love Megan! Her wit, humor, and beauty captured my heart. :) Josh you're cool too. You both have a pleasant easy charm.

[@otrame]

Can I just say, I love that Megan nursed her baby like it was just something that women need to do now and then. Also, I have been fascinated by Georgia for a while now. She clearly has her own ideas about things and just as clearly sits on them, or as my dad used to say, bites her tongue. Sometimes she clearly has a sore tongue. However, I don't feel sorry for her. No one is holding a gun to her head.

[@simongiles9749]

One of her own ideas is that she clearly can't stand Bodie; it always amuses me the look of contempt that she tries to hide whenever he speaks. But, like you, I don't feel at all sorry for her.

[@dragongirl7978]

Watched this again because it's really interesting, but the linguist in me is dying a little. The whole thing about Adam being intelligent so of course he could write... What does intelligence have to do with writing? There are modern humans who are perfectly intelligent but speak languages that don't have writing systems. Writing systems are constructed when there are reasons to do so. If Adam existed and only had his family to communicate with, he wouldn't have had any reason for a writing system. If I'm remembering correctly, writing systems started when trade became common, in order to take inventory and write receipts. Also, if Adam wrote some kind of creation story (which he wouldn't have been there to see, since he was created last), that would have happened before the Tower of Babel. Assuming every spoken language had a writing form (sorry, the linguist in me is dying more than a little now), anything Adam wrote would have been incomprehensible to people after the tower of Babel, since... presumably God would have also confused their writing systems. And Moses was after the tower of Babel, so he wouldn't have been able to use anything. Even apart from the glaringly awful ignorance of how languages work, their narrative isn't even self-consistent. If they stopped to think it through for ten minutes they would realize how stupid it sounds.

[@williambarnes5023]

Ants have a writing system.

[@EdwardHowton]

I'm curious. What are these languages that people speak but don't have writing systems? I tried to think of one but I came up dry... or at least, until I remembered the carnie language from The Black List. Would that be one of them? I'd really love to know more.

[@dragongirl7978]

@@EdwardHowton Well, generally the languages without writing systems aren't going to be ones people have heard of, because if the speakers join the global community, they usually either develop a writing system (often by adopting another alphabet and adapting it) or start speaking a more dominant language (which is the leading cause of language death). But they're very common in more isolated areas with indigenous people, such as the Amazon, parts of Africa, and even parts of China. One trend in the linguistics community is to seek out these languages and make a record of them before they die. One of my professors in my masters program spent a lot of time researching languages in South America near the Amazon. Also, with the notable exception of Cherokee, I think most Native American languages don't (or at least didn't) have writing systems. According to statistics, there are almost as many unwritten languages as written languages, though that's likely to change as things become more global.

Also, If the Bible is so important to a god, there should be something about the writing and editing of it.

Love this episode so much. There are real social consequences to the doctrine of full biblical inerrancy over what the text actually reads as.

[@seanmcdonald5365]

This is my first video here, Megan is absolutely hilarious 😂 I love this collab

[@justsomeguy2825]

When I was a devout Christian reading the Bible. I went in with absolutely no bias or presuppositions,(or background information on science) and I came away with the interpretation of Genesis speaking in obvious metaphors, because I could recognize the way the Bible used the words in later books. Reading Joshua, I recognized the conquest writing, and during Revelations, I recognized the apocalyptic language. What really kicked me down the road to athiesm us when I met evangelicals like Ken Ham, who would rebuke me because I didn't take a literal interpretation a Of the Bible all around. Even according to the Bible, it doesn't contain absolute truth, it doesn't even know that a mustard seed isnt the smallest.

[@monus782]

Sounds alot like my story, except I come from a church that claims to be compatible with science for not taking Genesis too literally. That is, until I found out through its more fundie members that that I was supposed to believe Adam and Eve were real people. It was here I realized that if you take them out of the picture most of traditional Christianity falls apart no less because what exactly did Jesus come down to die for? To undo Adam's sin.

[@Nickelini]

26:46 "I think the Holy Spirit obviously breathed the maps at the end of the Bible" -- LOL!

[@alisaurus4224]

Those were some of my favorite parts to look at when bored in church… or read the naughty parts, like Genesis 38

[@Argeaux2]

This is my favourite Paulogia thus far for a couple of reasons. 1. I have a theological degree. It reminded me why I found the bible so fascinating to study, which was mostly to do with some of the interesting stories in it. I became atheist while studying the bible. 2. I also studied history, and it was great to hear how archeology doesn't necessarily back up biblical accounts. I already knew that, but it was interesting to hear it stated in such a simple manner. Keep up the good work, everyone!

Megan’s statement at 12:35 about how she reads the Bible should be the intro to every religious literature course and Bible study. That is the way I have felt, but never expressed it so well. I think that was the kind of thinking behind Asimov’s Guide to the Bible

12:00 These people are terrified of anyone reading the Bible critically. They want you to simply read it in such a way that it will support THEIR interpretation. If they were buying a car, would they trust that the sales person is being honest? Or would they examine his claim critically? If you have something that is true, a critical examination will show it to be true. The only reason to avoid a critical examination is if you think it might *NOT* be true. If the Bible were true, it doesn't matter what way you read it, you will see that it is true. When they say "Read it Biblical" they mean just ignore anything that contradicts what you believe.

Actually the Inca Record keeping system is rather amazing. The Khipus recording system of weaved, colored and knotted strings. It COULD be a complete writing system and if not was a sophisticated system of recording information. TRying to figure out how it worked is an ongoing research project. Probably the best known researcher on the Khipus is Gary Urton who c. 20 years ago was a recipient of a MacArthur "Genius" grant. Urton's theory is tat the Khipus record information in a way similar to a Computer binary code. I can recommend two books by him Signs of the Inka Khipu, (2003) and Inka History in Knots, (2017).
