Thousands of viewers say Dave's videos have helped them succeed in both high school classes and college courses - he's reached and helped more students than most other teachers ever will. If that's failure, we should all hope to fail so successfully. He does not call himself Doctor Dave - he's not a doctor. He calls himself Professor Dave, which is an accurate use of the title, since he doesn't pretend to be a Professor at a university (a job title which means different things in different countries, and sometimes doesn't even require teaching), but is definitely an online Professor, a job description of a person who teaches at a high level. I've known a lot of people with PhDs who couldn't teach - and people without PhDs who were excellent teachers. They knew how to ask productive questions as they studied new subjects, how to get to the fundamental facts and ideas of new subjects, how to put it all together into a coherent whole, and how to then teach it to other people. A whole set of unusual skills.

Oh and they think they sing good. Iwent to HS about a half mile from the Creationist Research Institute in El Cajon and was fortunate to elude their clutches. Fortunately my Southern Baptist parents had "lapsed" after the revolt in the ideology of the church in the 196O's -between "liberal" anti-racist reformers and the literalist pro-segregationist factions. So I didn't go to the Greenfield church of the creationist rapture preacher and their ilk. I think the kids of Morris, Gish and others attended my school. But I don't recall evolution, as such, being taught at all in Biology...what I acquired was mainly from the text book and library books. And my family lived overseas in Africa for a time (1965-69) and my Engineer father (a big rock-hound) took our around to several hominid fossil and archeological sites. (Olduvai, Laetoli -before the footprints were found- Olorgesailie, etc ). We met the famous Louis S.B. Leakey who showed us around the Coryndon Museum in Nairobi and even into the collection cabinets. Because of that experience I followed everything I could get my hands on Early Man and the Time/Life series on Evolution. That's how I ended up going to UC Berkeley and getting my degree in Biological Anthropology, with heavy emphasis in Geology- Paleontology and Genetics. But I recall when I was. in HS that I wrote critical book reports on Velikovsky, Van Danikan, and some Cryptozoology books. So I had a debnking critical nature even then.

Indeed. It’s so liberating to finally hear someone outright call these people what they are. Idiots. There’s no reason that we should have to handle grown adults with child gloves because they’re so scared of the real world that they would rather live a fantasy.

[@MOSMASTERING]

Absolutely. Never Change.. we all should follow the example in challenging people like this. I'm willing to ignore levels of stupidity in general, but nobody should let ANTI-intellectualism slide. These are scary people that actively want to dismantle the education system to bring everybody down to a level of simpleton that follow like witless sheep willing to believe in their lies and fairytale. They want to (and have succeeded) in pushing this shit down children's throats whilst removing genuine science or anything that could lead to a contradiction in their ancient book (ie Science!) I feel sorry for anybody born into this cult that are then never given an opportunity to develop critical thinking skills. Sadly they inherit additional personality traits of the Christian community - such as hate, a superiority complex, rudeness, intolerance, sexism, homophobia and eventually becoming salesmen that attempt to absorb other people into it all. These are horrible and dangerous people that fully believe they have 'God' on their side. If they practiced what they preach, they would use empathy and love to help people over to the side of saviour, instead they'll put you down and laugh that you're going to burn in a lake of fire for all eternity. It's always these little digs, putting people down. For example, why is "Professor" in quotes? You're a Communist and Anti-semite? And... "haha" luckily, not gay! Isn't it funny thinking someone will be tortured forever. Even if they were right, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with this community. I also wouldn't trust them around children.

[@benheikes9100]

Yes! Never relent, these creationists are the most dangerous group in our current Democracy. Make no mistake about it, these people want to bring us back to Puritan times, and they want to see “sinners” punished. They will lie their little Christian asses off to get people to blindly follow this bs. I used to be a Rogan guy, now I’m just pissed at all of these people for platforming endless grifters, and creating a profit model around these lies. These people have no interest in real knowledge. I know this from experience, I was raised conservative Catholic. I will protect the innocent, but I was an alter boy…and while I was not personally abused, I saw another alter boy get ushered into the priests changing room for what was a very inappropriate amount of time. I witnessed the lies and the abuse, and the control….all of it…. If there is a hell, it will be full of these liars, not gay ol’ prof Dave!

i would argue religion is based in some form of science-- social sciences. religion is like culture-- it generally conforms to human social and emotional needs and some environmental factors, but very little else. it brews up existential theories and rituals, arbitrarily chooses some and discards others based on a kind of collective storytelling which serves to bond and enrich the group, but also tends to make claims that are provably untrue when social needs bleed into the territory of science. to condemn it entirely would be missing the point of what social systems like this provide to people, why people choose this over science to begin with (yes a lot are coerced and indoctrinated, but some are not, and its popularity proves it is attractive in some way). it has patterns that pop up throughout history that would exist without historical precedent or not, but they are patterns of human thought and behavior, not any specific material claims. religion, like culture, should be preserved as wonderful creations of humanity like the rest of the arts, but the way people use religion to spread debunked misinformation and oppress minorities and the underclass is especially dangerous. and also very funny when they try to speak authoritatively on the physical sciences, which have never in the entirety of the universe's life cared about humans or what they would like to believe

The series was REALLY hard to find, which is weird for such a big channel. Firstly, I only heard about it when he mentioned it in this video (so much for notifications amirite), so I went to Dave’s channel in search of it a few days later, went to playlists, saw literally hundreds of videos, none of which had that title… so I had to go back to this video to see the title and then search those EXACT words cuz using only some words didn’t work (another red flag). Then when I went back to watch more, I couldn’t find the fng thing again without going back through my history, at which point I immediately saved it to my playlist (which I should’ve done from the getgo). But it’s actually a tactic dirty people use to censor content… they use bots to “mass report” content, so YT will automatically stop ‘recommending’ it while they investigate all the ‘complaints’, then by the time they clear the video it already drew WAY less interaction than it would’ve otherwise and gets pushed down the algorithm list. I seriously think some funny business went into censoring this series, so I actually bought a super chat just to recommend Dave re-upload it… cuz would it really shock anyone to learn orgs like DI and/or the people who fund them in an attempt to institute theocracy wouldn’t be below doing dirty sh*t like that?

@ it’s also possible it got pushed down because the videos are quite long I actually found Dave through the video compiling the series, because I watch lots of long science video essays (like Milo Rossi, Clint Laidlaw, etc.)

[@fishbroccoli69]

man, i used to watch your videos back in high school to help me on my bio and chem tests, this is a huge throwback to see your videos again, and i’m very intrigued by your debunking videos! it’s so cool to see you again!

[@Bondrewd_The_Based]

@Orthosaur7532 Deuteronomy 6:16 is probably the most straightforward example. Asking for God to jump through whatever hoops you want to prove his existence is sin. It's also one of the sins Satan tries to con Jesus into doing in the New Testament. The whole point of faith is that it doesn't require evidence. You believe it, that's it.

18:08 _"Due to being totally incompatible with orbital mechanics"_ No joke, a few years of playing Kerbal Space Program intuitively taught me more about orbital mechanics than 17 years working at NASA. And that's only partly because I've never worked for NASA, most of the credit goes straight to KSP.

[@TerryOCarroll]

Yeah, KSP doesn't teach you the math, but it does give you an intuitive understanding of how things work. It teaches you what the math *means*.

[@brendanrockwood6535]

Same here

[@christopherbgsted4749]

Yeah, I wish we had a place where someone could illustrate greater phenomena in an intuitive way as such. Imagine a Kerbal space program for every type of science, readily available in one place. We could teach intuitive physics and chemistry at rapid rates and make it so fun and easy to learn how the world works to even less mathematics inclined people. It would be incredible for our world

Wait till you discover playing enough principia mod gives you intuitive understanding of n-body physics, low energy transfer and reference frames

[@jarrethdragon1399]

One of my favorites is when they try arguing that science changes so it isn't accurate, but the entire basis of science is that we don't know and are trying to figure shit out. Meanwhile, the Bible is all about "knowing the truth", but how many times has the Bible AND Christianity changed? That doesn't bode well for the book and religion claiming to "know the truth"

It almost sounds a bit impressive when you realize that some cancers even manage to spread beyond their host and basically become a new species.

You're a rare breed, Dave--an intellectual hero in a dark era of ascendant, willful ignorance. I'll watch the series. It was actually my revulsion over creationism that long ago turned me into a pro-choice, pro-union, anti-imperialist, secular-humanist, pinko queer! So I guess I owe some thanks to the troglodyte crowd. BTW, I'm personally crestfallen that you're not gay, but then almost 55 percent of my most esteemed friends are righteous straight guys. So you're in good company. I am, too.

There are plenty of answers to the problem of evil which can satisfy a believer. From Augustine to Libniz, Irenaeus to Dostoyevsky, whether you believe them or not isn’t so relevant.

It's no use being formally educated and qualified, but with thinking skills of a reptile! Edward de Bono had it right, stressing that thinking skills trump formal education.
