Torturing myself


Tonight, for funzies, I’ll be watching a short ID creationism video and commenting on it. The video is only about 10 minutes long, so using my rough rule of thumb, it’ll take about a hundred hours to correct all the falsehoods. It’ll only take 2 minutes for me to run out of patience.

    Two minutes? Youre a better man than I am sir. I get about a minute thirty tops and I want to puke. My hat is off to you.

    Great in depth deconstruction & clip thanks.

    FWIW I’m “Platylobium Obtuseangulum” on youtube. Long story about getting accidentally logged out and not able to get back in. The nymn is from this local native plant species – see :

    One of my fave plants and species names and, yes, the ‘o’ in obtuse-angulum should be with a small rather than capital letter botanically speaking..

    Seems Creationists think if you don’t have every last peice of a jigsaw puzzle you cannot work out what the jigsaw is meant to be of..

    I thought the “documentary” with flat-Earthers on Youtube was funnier.
    Or the documentary where a guy claimed water gets sad if you yell at it.

    Frankly, I am not even sure Lukas (Deflate) – cute though he is – isn’t actually a YEC. He’s just another cocky Christian apologist who is either ignorant, lying, or both. I usually don’t bother listening to his entire schick, just get the gist, then annoy his devoted followers by debunking it.

    Reminds me of a Scottish historian commenting on the film “Braveheart”.

    Paraphrasing from memory: “There were 105 historical errors in the film and I was only 1 or 2 minutes into it”.

    Off topic,but that twat faced twat johnson is going to announce that the pandemic is over,and we can go back to
    what passes for normal in good old GB,meanwhile the Queen has tested positive for covid.

    On the subject of trilobites, Kenneth McNamara produced an elegant paper on evolutionary transition in the Early Cambrian trilobite Olenellus by the process of paedomorphosis using evidence from the fossil record. He could also relate the evolution to changes in the environment. “Paedomorphosis in Scottish Olenellid Trilobites (Early Cambrian)”, Palaeontology, vol. 21, part 3 (1978): 635 – 655. Yes the IDiots and other creationists do ignore the evidence.

    [Yes, that davidc1 faced davidc1 johnson is off-topic]

    On-topic, I watched the video (usual speedup), and that sure is better than “debating” the loons.

    I liked the video the sound mix was a little off but not terrible.these types of video critiques of idiot science are much better then actual debates with them.
    i get the feeling listening to his video that there is nothing original , all the arguments are completely derivative of others work just restated and rephrased a little with all the original errors included no research on the subject at all and no understanding of science its methods and history what so ever
    a feeble defense of his faith only

    @12 HAHAHA.oh I am so wounded.Stones and sticks.
    Whatever you say he is a twat faced twat,and he is now saying that stopping
    all covid measures is a moment of pride.

  11. John Morales says

    davidc1:

    Whatever you say he is a twat faced twat

    Exactly. He is a davidc1 faced davidc1. Means the same thing.

  12. davidc1 says

    @17 You wound me again,he is a john faced john johnson then,see how you like it?
    Not so nice when the hand is on the other foot.
