My fellow skeptics, please shut the hell up be quiet for a moment and listen to me. There are plenty of alternative explanations. You don't need to be grasping at straws to rebut this. For example...

Someone talking on a cell phone in 1928?
When there were no other cell phones to talk to.
When there were no cell towers to transmit a signal.
Ever heard of a walkie talkie? Or she could have been talking to her starship or something. You're seriously going to rebut this by presenting a strawman?
And why did she absolutely have to be talking to someone in the future? Couldn't it just be the case that she, a time traveler, be talking to someone from her own time but were at that moment in another city in the same time as she was? What about cell phone towers, you asked. What if it was a satellite phone and the people of the future had a satellite orbitting Earth at the time?
The point is when we talk to creationists we already get enough headaches when they try to make rebuttals that completely miss the main points. And in this particular case, the main point this guy in the video was trying to make WASN'T that the woman was holding specifically a cell phone that required towers. The point was that she was holding a communication device and dabbling away wirelessly, something that she couldn't have been doing in 1928. Try to rebut that.
So, again, my fellow skeptics, please don't sink down to the level of creationists on this. There are plenty of alternative explanations that make more sense. We don't need to sink down to the level of creationists and just throw out anything that comes to our mind.

I doubt time travle is possible to many paradoxses.
go back in time and destroy the primordial soup, what happens if it is gone humans cannot exsist and time travle does not happen if time travle does not accure the soup cannot be destroyed.
I doubt that we could ever fly. Too many complications. For one, we'd have to be flapping our wings just like the birds, and people aren't birds.

Lighten up and laugh a little.
You somehow make all creationists disappear and I'll lighten up. In the mean time, I'm always on the verge of a breakdown.

Re: Fail
I know this is a lite topic, but if this is your real attitude, then you have a long way to go to become a skeptic.
