Author | Topic: You Tube Videos on Evolution/Creationism | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tram law Member (Idle past 4704 days) Posts: 283 From: Weed, California, USA Joined: |
Id like to propose a list of you tube videos that help explain evolution for the Links And Information forum. Some people respond better to videos than to scholarly articles.
I'd like to start with this series of videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wv6kgjOEL0 It's called "15th Foundational Falsehood of Creationism Pt 1" There are a total of fifteen parts to this series on evolution. Each part, except the last part, is ten minutes long and the last part is divided into two parts each ten minutes long. Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Add "on Evolution/Creationism" part to topic title.

I recommend this for both believers and non-believers. This is a very good proces of a person who once was a christian but is not anymore. It explains step-by-step.
While this is not about evolution, I think the whole proces is very important for believers to understand science and for non-believers to understand creationists. https://www.youtube.com/user/evid3nc3?blend=1&ob=4

Ah yes, Aronra.
I'd recommend all of his videos, f you want to watch all of his "foundational falsehoods", here's the link Further, I'd recommend:
And that's all I can think of for now. Also, check out these guys "friends" on youtube, there's usually some pretty good stuff on those channels.

Why does he try to explain that it is scientifically accurate to call evolution a theory all throughout both videos, but then ends the video with ''evolution is a FACT'' ???
Also, Fred Hoyle wasn't a creationist as the guy says in his video. Which would seem pretty obvious given that he was a proponent of the steady-state theory in cosmology, which says that the universe never had a beginning (obviously contradictory with any definition of being a ''creationist'') Edited by slevesque, : No reason given.

There is the Theory of Evolution and that fact that evolution happens... so it is both.

Also, Fred Hoyle wasn't a creationist as the guy says in his video. Which would seem pretty obvious given that he was a proponent of the steady-state theory in cosmology, which says that the universe never had a beginning (obviously contradictory with any definition of being a ''creationist'') Mind you, I've not viewed the video. But Fred Hoyle is on record as an opponent of "chemical evolution", offering panspermia as his alternative, and is widely quoted by creationists and IDists, especially his "tornado sweeping through a junkyard assembling a 747 by pure chance". From the Wikipedia page on him (Fred Hoyle - Wikipedia):
quote: And earlier in the same article:
quote: So Hoyle would be better labelled an IDist, even though he was motivated by an form of religious belief. Interestingly, he co-authored his panspermia book, Evolution From Space, with Chandra Wickramasinghe, who testified at the 1981 Arkansas creationism trial on behalf of the creationists. PSAnd the theory of evolution and the fact of evolution are two different things. The fact of evolution is that evolution has happened, whereas the theories of evolution are attempts to explain how it happens. Those are two separate questions that need to be addressed separately, such that you cannot disprove the fact by attacking parts of the theories. Even Dr. Duane Gish of the ICR acknowledges that in his use of philosopher of science Larry Laudan's article that was critical of Judge Overton's pronouncements about the nature of science in his opinion for the 1981 Arkansas trial: lack of a mechanism to explain a phenomenon does not disprove the phenomenon. Of course, Gish only wanted that to apply to creationism and not to evolution. So then, the two questions are:1. Did evolution happen? (the fact) 2. How did evolution happen? (the theories) {"Links and Information" forum - Not the place for debate on the video content.

Recently someone embedded the first of four Richard Dawkins videos concerning religion run schools in the UK. At the time I watched the first 3 and intended to get back to the forth. Now I can't track down the containing message.
But, using the power of the almighty Google, here is that video.: Moose Edited by Minnemooseus, : Tracked it down via Google.

try looking for Faith schools.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

What does that have to do with the topic? Faith schools in England?
How does a faith school have to do with evolution/creation? Creation is taught in Home schools, the equivalent of faith schools in the US do teach evolution. I don't know maybe I am missing your point? I do know the Richard guy in your vid is hilarious as his inability to analyze all the angles, and only present this skewed view.

One of his points is that creationist talking points, and outright creationism is taught at some Faith Schools. In the UK, home schooling is rather rare - going to a Faith Schools is much more common. And there are potentially more faith schools, with an even laxer curriculum on the horizon. All great places to find loopholes to get blatant creationism taught at taxpayers expense.
Richard Dawkins writes: Some faith schools, as I discovered while making my recent television documentary, use their state-subsidised freedoms to undermine the teaching of science. It should be unthinkable in the 21st century to have a state-funded school whose science teachers believe the world is less than 10,000 years old, yet that is what I found So yeah - I think it's sufficiently related.
