I was glad she inserted the rare admission that historically scientific fact is often overturned by newer evidence, methodology and/or theory. These are becoming less frequent either by resistance from establishment or ever increasing knowledge base. The internet and social media have reshaped us fatter than any single event in history, for better or worse. But science can now share ideas and findings as they're happening. Hopefully scientists are beginning to see this as opportunity rather than the old model of guarding info as a commodity to be hidden away until it can be revealed in effort to bring fame to the individual. Isn't that ironic as most science is funded by the taxes of all of us. I'll get it my soapbox but end by saying how exciting this new age of research is even for us laypeople.

@@davidclaytonfreeman3306 I'm going to push back on the idea that scientists horde information. There may be some percentage of them that do, and possibly for some good reasons besides just self glory, but scientists, in general, seem quite willing to sharing information. Plus, at some point, their work needs to be peer reviewed if their findings are going to be taken seriously and the fame you claim they seek can be showered on them.

@@saviourjc We currently have Satellites that can see way back over 13 billion years towards the beginnings of our Universe, a time when Galaxies didn't even exist yet in our Universe, and only certain elements like Hydrogen and Helium existed. We now know exactly how Stars like our Sun were formed, and what all life on Earth is made of. *And that's by the way with our old Satellites like Hubble. The new version of Hubble (J Webb) makes Hubble seem like a payphone compared to a new iPhone. No need for God's, Demons, Ghosts, and Devils anymore.

I met someone once who was in every outward particular a perfect Neanderthal. It happens that I massaged his shoulders, and found that his bones were much thicker than anyone else's I'd ever felt (and being a massage therapist, I'd felt more bones than most people), which was also consistent with Neanderthal ancestry. He was a social worker, by the way. This was during a period when I had occasion to meet several, and he was the nicest and most empathetic.

Yes that IS what our brains are doing. Speech is thought. On one side we have those who suppress speech (i e. suppress thought) in favor of merely EMOTING at the world. And of course, emotion standing alone crowds out logic, reason, and concern for facts---indeed, emotion originates in the most primitive parts of our brain...the limbic system. The modern SJW resides primarily---sometimes exclusively---within that limbic system. This explains why democrats increasingly despise free speech, facts, and reason.

I have no problem listening to progress and discoveries regarding evolution. I'm also very comfortable with my faith in God and do not consider myself "brainwashed". As the evolution scientist works to refine the discovery so does a believer refine their belief as they live. Believe me there is more to God than the first chapter of Genesis. I'm waiting for the day a scientist can explain to me how for instance the pancreas developed, other than the go to "billions of years" of evolution. No my point is that something with specific purpose does not accidentally mutate into existence. How does the body know it needs to monitor blood sugar? How does the pancreas generate insulin which can reduce it? How did the electrical connections fall into place for the brain to trigger it? Billions of years just can't be the answer.

@@jensraab2902 When you begin with a pre-ordained, literally god-given (well, in his opinion...) conclusion, no facts will ever change your mind. Creationists start out with a belief, then try to make the data/observations/facts seem to support that belief - as well as trying with all their might to poke holes in other possible explanations. Convictions make convicts - hardcore belief systems harden your intellectual core so that the light of truth can't penetrate it.

One big issue I have with evolution (besides the fact that evolution theories keep changing) is what she said. "The amount of data that we have is only a painfully small fraction of the total story of our evolutionary history...very very incomplete". Basically, what we know is far too small for us to form any valid conclusions. In the meantime, I'll stick to creation rather than assuming I understand the entire ocean because I've been in a bathtub.

While we aren't at the pinnacle of scientific understanding, there's more evidence for the theory of evolution than for the theory of gravity (relativity) at this point. If you still want to reject it that's fine, but which creation story would you go with? There's more than 1 creation story out there.

@@goodday512 I'll go with the Christian Bible's account. We have more evidence for the existence (and authenticity) of Jesus Christ than we do of Shakespeare, yet there are billions who don't believe in Him. The presence of some evidence does not equal validity for so many reasons (interpretation of such evidence for example). I don't "reject" evolution as a whole, I just can't accept something that even the authors have often changed their thoughts about, and acknowledge is severely incomplete. Especially since as a Christian, I believe my eternity is at stake here. I know this opens a can of worms, but I have my well thought out reasons.

@@goodday512 Without even doing much further research, there are thousands of manuscript and historic records, including those from at least three major worldwide religions that may not always like each other (Christianity, Islam and Judaism) and many historic references of Him that date back thousands of years. Compare that with the few dozens there are of Shakespeare even though Shakespeare lived in a far more recent and advanced time where records were much more available.

@@topsydoddle1 Please name me just one extra-biblical contemporary reference to a living breathing Jesus Christ. We don't even have an eye witness account of him. But the thing is, even we could definitively demonstrate Jesus did exist, that still gets us nowhere near demonstrating that he had supernatural powers.
