I was a creationist fundamentalist Christian until a few years ago, and it was only through the internet that I learned better. I'm turning 60 this year and am so grateful for sites like yours for changing my mind. I am an Atheist now and proud of it! Keep up the great work you're doing. People can, and do, change their minds when faced with factual information that they might never have been exposed to otherwise.

To the chief Musician upon Mahalath, Maschil, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. King James Bible Pslams 14:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. "Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good." Psalm 53:1 So Hello Fool! You are younger than I by a few years and I dare say we BOTH will see the truth of God's Word soon enough! If I am right, even though I have lived a wicked life before I was redeemed,then I will come into be reward BUT if YOU are wrong and now despise God and His free gift of His ONLY Son to have died for your WICKED sinful life,then you will be judged to a devil's HELL I guess. Since I am not your judge but God will be your judge,then I cannot know 100% if you will be destroyed in hell with Satan ad his fellow fallen angels,but I would say you are in a good position to be destroyed to the uttermost!

This is a really bizarre concept to me. I went to a Catholic school for 9 years and exactly because I was taught proper science is why I never believed anything that was taught in religion class. I got a better education than probably 90% of people I'd estimate. I went on to be accepted to one of the top 10 academic high schools in America. I guess it depends on which denomination you were raised with?

Either way as far as the oldest date for The Flood. I know of some Young Earth Creationists who believe Earth and most of The Universe is as much as 30,000, even 40,000 or of years old. If Noa's flood for them would be scaled similar to the 6,000 year timeline then countless YECs should probably and do in fact believe The Flood happened 12,000, 20,000, or 35,000 years ago.

Evolution is very much analogous to aging. At the age of 13, you’re considered a teenager but you’re not going to look, feel or think any differently than the day before your birthday, you’re not abruptly going to experience a boost in height, grow more body hair or have your voice deepening, it’s a gradual shift. When you reach an age where (in your society) you’re considered a legal adult, you’re not magically going to shift from a hormonal, emotionally volatile teen into an enlightened and responsible adult in 24 hours. And once you’re past 18, your physical development will be even slower, you’re not going to abruptly shift from being in your prime to being a middle-aged guy with graying hair and whose physical skills start to fail him, nor will you abruptly shift from a middle-aged guy into a decrepit old senior overnight. Again, it’s a gradual shift, and you’ll only notice the difference if you compare pictures or video footage of yourself that’s 5-10 years old compared to your current self.

Noah was a wise old man who lived long ago near the shore in a valley that was prone to floods. He owned some land, some animals and a barge. One day there was a large storm so Noah put all his animals on his barge and went out to sea to escape the coming flood. When it was over a reporter saw the barge with Noah and all the animals and wrote a story about it and every year the story got bigger and bigger until it finally made it into the Bible. True story.

Another thing that disproves Noah’s flood (and creationism in general) are cave paintings.

You mean the Epic of Gilgamesh and its predecessors? Well, yeah, that, we know that the story isn't original, but there's more than that, other supposed flood myths don't give credence to the Noah's flood because they involve different characters, take place in different times and often involve different and contradicting elements. For example, the Slavic myth involves two male individuals, a trickster called Kurent and a giant named Kranjac, surviving the flood by climbing atop of the highest mountain, which for some reason wasn't flooded. The Egyptian flood myth doesn't even include water, but instead suggests a berserk goddess killed so many people that the world drowned in their blood. The Chinese flood myth records a local event instead of a global one, the Indonesian myth says that gods survived the flood by climbing into the sky, and most of them don't even involve gathering animals into a giant boat, while some actually involve gathering of plants instead.

As all of what I have crudely written here is true. just forgive the spelling and the grammar 30 minutes no heartbeat 8 minutes no blood flow did something truly awful to me. and it took me years to recover from it but I never did quite . I come from a family of atheist. this happen to me 43 years ago I was just 26 Back then I knew just almost nothing about God heaven or hell except what I seen on tv or radio and what I was told about Jesus was when I was 12. it was told to me by an elder of a church. That I met when my mum took me to see him At the time My mother was an atheist and she would not go in to the church So we met the church elder after the service out side the church. My mum took me to see him he was a Paediatrician and for the last three months night after night I was I was being pulled in to Hell by a huge being later I found out it was a demon, it was covered in what look like mould. And it had a four posted solid gold crown on it head the size of a dustbin lid. I was pull in to a pit of blue and Gray burning fog This was Hell it would burn my skin off and with ever breath my lips mount and lungs would get burnt then grew back again instantly to be burned of again ans again. This went on for night after night I wake up I would wake up screaming in my mothers arms. But going to a church this time was a one time event only. I never went near a church again till I got married to my wife Jenny 18 years later Because she was and still is a christian. I become a christian. The NDE happen 14 years later when I was 26 from start to finish this has so much information in it I cant fit it all on here information that confirms what I tell you here to the best of my knowledge is true. I had to have an surgery to save my life Medical report showed I was so ill during surgery my heart had stop they took turns doing CPR for 30 minutes till they called it I was then left with out a heart beat for a further 8 minutes I found my self floating on the ceiling of the operating room. I was then pull though the wall First off We are conceived Body Soul Spirit our soul controls our body but it can not function without a body So when we die for a while our soul is out side of our body. When our soul goes to heaven or goes to Hell it is given a new body. I was pull in to heaven I was put in a new body. There I notice that that had no genitalia at all. I seem to be dressed in a roman like toga. In heaven I met thousands upon thousands of my ancestors And I seem to be able to communicate with each and ever single one of them. They all seem also to have no genitalia and the first thing I notice was the woman had no breast . The next thing I notice was My ancestors seem very concerned about me. Then they started to move away from me. I then notice there was a man with two other man beside him (I later learned that the two other men were angels) This man was kneeling on the ground with his back to me He look like he was looking at moving photos then I notice they were photos of me of when I was a boy of 12. 13 years ago . Then he come to the photos of me talking to that church elder. The photos showed me after talking to the elder I truly believe in Christ. When he seen this he look up at me and smiled. I could now see his face I can still see the love in his eyes. I ask him for his name he told his name was Emmanuel . At the time I never heard that name before so I did not know that, I was speaking with Christ himself .. When my ancestors found out that I was not going to Hell . They were very happy. One of them showed me how to crate a white marble stone slab. After I made it. I was siting on it when Emmanuel walk over to me and told me I have to go back. As I had to finish off my purpose what ever that was I keep saying no! No! No! Please but he sent me back any way It was then I felt my heart beating in my chest my ancestors then started to move away from me very fast I later figured out You see when he started my heart up my soul was now connected to my mortal body my mortal sinful body. And my body was full of sin. I floated though the wall in to the operating room and started sinking in to my cold dead body,. it was like sinking in to cold mud. Then I fell asleep and later woke in recovery. I was fighting to take off the oxygen mask when I notice I was not in heaven any more all around me was darkness they later put me back in the wards. they wanted to give me a shower It was then I was able to look at my body in the mirror I notice there were a dark patch marks on the back of my arms my legs I was told that it was congealed blood laying under my skin. I knew I had the NDE but I did not know that I had acutely died on the operating table. And that I had been dead for thirty eight minutes. I was still very weak as I had lost over 40 kilos. When I tried to tell people about this they really did not want to know But ever though it been over 40 years I still remember ever bit of it.

One of the most common traits I find about Evolution, Dichotomies, Increments, and so on, is that people who are less educated, especially religious people, tend to ignore increments. For them, you're either a Leftist or a Republican. There is either socialism or The Constitutional Republic. "Species turn into something else or they don't change at all! Ha! I just disproved evolution!" No, you simply proved how unintelligent and ignorant you are. One of the most aggravating things about these types of people is that the idea of increments flies right over their heads. These are the same people who don't understand that it's possible to have a Constitutional Republic and a capitalist country with certain socialist elements, and vice versa. The reason why is because to them, any acceptance of contrary belief is deemed as a sort of defacto "heresy" that's then turned into a scape-goat and burned with the rest of the things they deem "unholy". This isn't just a Far Right thing either, anyone on any side of the political, (or scientific/evolutionary side) can be effected by this closed minded hypocrisy. What you'll notice about people who are less educated is that they tend to shy away from things that run contrary to their established beliefs and that they run on an authoritarian system. They also require scape-goats. Why? Because when we were in the primitive ages, we needed a way to relieve tension in rival groups that occurred due envy and eventually caused chaos and mob rule. Scapegoats would help restore peace in these groups by giving members a common cause to rally against, even though it was arbitrary. I have a hypothesis that they gravitate towards this because they don't have it within themselves to reasonably manage their own urges, desires, etc. so they need an oppressive system to keep them in line. An un-reasonable non-negotiable system for un-reasonable non-negotiable people. This of course goes back to the fact that religion reverses everything because you can see the primitive human mind rearing its ugly head in these religious groups who single out and funnel their hate at the so-called sin. What I hate about this the most is that there's absolutely no incentive to adapt our conscious minds and become more civilized. Instead, people are not only allowed to play to the primal instinct but they are rewarded for it.

As far as the oldest date for The Flood. I know of some Young Earth Creationists who believe Earth and most of The Universe is 30,000, even 40,000 or of years old. If Noa's flood for them would be scaled similar to the 6,000 year timeline then countless YECs should probably and do in fact believe The Flood happened 12,000, 20,000, or 35,000 years ago. So some YECs may believe the migration from The Ark took up to several thousand years.

Aron, (I will always endeavor to get your name right.) I believed evolution even before I started watching your videos. However, like many of my fellow Americans, I didn’t understand it well at all. I have now been watching your videos and have been a subscriber for well over a year. In that time I have been educated on the wonders of life more thoroughly than I could have ever imagined. I have been armed with mental weapons against ignorance and dogma. I have even come to understand just how connected we are with some of the most primitive and ancient life in the history of the earth. But most of all, I have come to (at least) some understanding of how extraordinary this world truly is. You sir have helped open my eyes to a universe more wonderful than any creator could have ever conceived. I doubt you will ever see this, let alone take the time out of your busy schedule to read it. But regardless I would just like to say thank you. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and dedication. Don’t let them get to you, keep up the good fight!

Reading all the comments to videos/discussions like this one really makes me wish sciences were mandatory in each semester as long as someone is in any level of school. It seems like the main problem with getting non-science people to understand this stuff is that it's impossible to explain years' worth of studies in a few paragraphs. They don't get just how complicated it all is, both the way cells and organisms function and how important mutations are in all of it and how many different ways mutations can even occur. There's just SO much to it, but it all makes sense if people would just spend the time to educate themselves. One course here and there is nowhere near enough. It wouldn't even scratch the surface of all the information that is currently known about this topic. It's not enough to answer all the recurring questions that seem to constantly come up with people who don't get it. It's only until finally higher level university courses are taken that maybe a person who so strongly disbelieves it all would finally get it and see just how much work has gone into seeing whether or not evolution is true, which there is no doubt that it is. Still, it's awesome to see videos like this one where people who took the time to understand it all are able to explain the gist in very simple terms. Also, the other major problem is that religious people who don't believe in this stuff have every single thing they believe in coming from a background where they can pull out one sentence or a phrase from one single book written by an author who is completely unknown (if it's not unknown, there is zero way of knowing the credibility of the person who wrote this one book) and say that that quote is fact. So when asking questions about science-related things, I would think most of them or many of them expect to be given a direct quote from one of our science books that will directly answer their very complex question. They don't even realize how complex their question is because that is not what their book is like. In sciences, the facts we currently know and keep working on finding are based on so much information from completely independent sources that one human life would not be enough to read through all the books and research papers written over the years to prove these facts and theories. There are so many of them, each one explaining the many different ways in which scientific facts or theories came about. This is why years' worth of university courses are required to get a decent understand of this stuff and many years more of studies (or even a lifetime is required) to become a specialist in scientific fields. The independent sources coming to the same conclusions to support the theories is extremely important, because no matter where in the world you're from or what your background is, every single time you will come to the exact same conclusion. If someone provides scientific evidence that what you believe is incorrect, there is excitement, because you can test it and see whether you were wrong about your theory and instead they are right by attempting to reproduce their work in your lab. If it works, that's a HUGE cause for excitement - possibly. Or it could be due to some kind of error in the way it was tested, in which case that would be discovered after a while and that study's conclusions would be thrown out the window. If, however, it was repeatable by others, it could very well lead to a new discovery, new law, new fact or new working theory. If the book about your religion is true.... would you not think that it would work this same way? That no matter where a person is born, they would believe the exact same things as you? Would your god not put you in a world *already* full of people who believed in your same god? If there was a god that created all people, why wouldn't they just create the perfect world for you and not give you 'enemies' who believe in other things. It's such an insane thing. I've tried so many times to read the Bible and some other religious texts and couldn't ever get past the first few pages because it just didn't make any sense. It always sounds more like a story, because people can interpret what ever they want in which ever way they please. It's like a poem where people have to figure out what is really meant by this or that section of the book. Why not spell out exactly what is meant instead of in a wishy-washy way? Why would anyone need to suffer in order to make your god happy? The crazy notion that we have to experience suffering and make huge sacrifices in order to appreciate what we have is complete insanity. As a child, when you didn't know about any of the cares in this world, when things seemed perfect... did you never think how wonderful it would be if we were born into heaven? If god (which ever one you believe in) is truly as powerful and mighty as you believe and can create all the things he's said to have created, why the heck wouldn't he just make you born into that thing they call as your version of heaven? Why through the ages did people have to fight for it and die for it and suffer in hopes of earning something that's not even guaranteed. Have you ever really spoken to a dead person to see whether what that one book told you was even true? Any living person today who tries to convince you that it's true hasn't either. I can guarantee that. Near death experiences don't count. A person who's been dead for a long enough time to be truly declared dead, who has started to decompose and with fair certainty would have made it to heaven if that really exists. Because that too is a huge issue to me with religion... people claiming to have seen heaven. If you came back from a few seconds or minutes of being dead, I doubt that would be enough time to suddenly get transported to this heaven. It just makes no sense. There are zero ways to prove it. Someone saying they saw it is not proof. It could be hallucinations. Why pick your version that you wish was the truth over something that's more likely, which is hallucination.... only because you want to believe what you believe. That's the thing about science. There's no 'belief' in it. There are so many ways to test whether what someone says is actually true or not. And if currently there isn't a way to test it, people can work at that and eventually find a way to test it. With religion there is nothing of this sort. It's just... wait until you die. That's it. If we were wrong, you won't know about it anyway. Why on earth would you believe in something like that? Potentially wasting years of life worshiping something that most likely doesn't even exist. Other people told you it does, so you spent your entire life believing it instead of working on truly getting to understand the world we live in, including yourself and how you work. Also, with science, people stop and think about how having children will impact the future. The world's population is growing unbelievably fast. There's huge competition for jobs, for housing, soon enough for food, etc. Typically (I know this is not always the case all the time, I'm not trying to say it is, but more often than not) religious people tend to have larger families. When i was younger I always dreamed of having a large family, but it simply doesn't make any sense. Why create more people for your kids to compete with once out of university. Why create more people, who inevitably will create more pollution, require more food, create more waste and garbage. There isn't an unlimited about of space on this planet. At some point we are going to run out of space. If you think "hey, but we're going to Mars soon and that'll solve all our problems." No one's ever lived on Mars and the only people who will be able to afford to go there at some point (if it even proves to be a non-suicidal mission) are the rich people. Most of our kids will stay here on Earth and will have to live in all the waste and pollution that we're creating. But sorry, back to science: it brings people who really understand it together. Those who have no background in it, only power and money, are the ones who tend to abuse it and use it in all the wrong ways. The scientists working in the background, trying to understand the world, those people LOVE learning from each other, it doesn't matter where in the world they come from. How is that not more beautiful and more worth spending time understanding and learning about than one book that has no credibility other than people telling you to believe it. Just because they say you should. In science you can play with science, you can actually SEE what science books talk about for yourself by conducting your own experiments. Test them out, play around with it, it's beautiful! And best of all, you'll understand more about the real world that we currently live in than you ever would through one single book written who knows how long ago, before anything about the world was even truly understood.

Aron, I really think you should turn this series into a book just like you did with the FFoC series.

Hey there Aron, as a China major I would like to chime in. It is the majority of Chinese people in China that believes that the Chinese is a special race of people. Even that it is better than the others. Han superiority. It is awful, but the government has been pushing that idea.

I try very much not to be prejudice, and I no not hate Chinese people, but I do NOT trust the Chinese government at all. I think they are dangerous and getting more so.
