I've recently developed a bad habit of arguing with creationists in Youtube comments.

Although I was raised a young-Earth creationist, I never understood why people thought we were close-minded (I don't believe I was ever close-minded; just ignorant--as soon as I was presented with the counter-points to all the creationist rhetoric I had grown up with, I changed my mind). I felt like evolutionists were the ones that were close-minded, what with their refusal to consider the possibility that a creator could have done things. I never realized that there was powerful evidence and convincing arguments out there that demonstrated how silly young-Earth creationist models are, and exactly how "grasping at straws" most of their defenses are.

Anyway, these you-tubers are absolutely fucking ignorant, and my attempts to have a rational, enlightened, and logical conversation with them are consistently being met with ignorance, misinterpretation, arguments that went out of style in the 19th century, and worst of all, extreme condescension. I got up at 2:30 this morning to let my sick dogs outside, and read a comment that made me so frustrated I couldn't go back to sleep. So now I'm going to be relying on caffeine to get through P-Chem. This is unhealthy; I need to stop, but I just can't stand being talked down to by people who have absolutely no clue what they're talking about, and refuse to believe that they don't know everything.

Help me stop.


You do realize that like 90% of atheists are just as retarded as 90% of young earth creationists right? If you want a logical debate then talk about it somewhere else, youtube chat is like walking into a hipster party and talking about mainstream anything.

The majority of christians (myself included) don't actually believe in young earth creationism and no church I have ever been too has included it in their list of what they believe and have never heard anyone talk about it in any message. The whole modern young earth belief system didn't even arise til much later in christian history. The simplest argument against it is talking about how we can see stars that are billions of light years away and that we are observing an event that happened billions of years ago. They might suggest something like "The speed of light was infinite" (which doesn't fix the problem) or "It's not actually billions of light years away" (which we can prove using physics) or "God makes it appear that way", but then ask why would God falsify history to support his creation? They will never be able to answer that question, no Christian I ever convinced has been able to and shouldn't be able to. Then also talk about the passage about how God carefully prepared his creation for people and the fact that it doesn't matter if God created us in 6 days or 6 billion years since to God, the passage of time is nothing and that the very first chapter of genesis is actually written in a poetic style unlike the rest of geneis and that the word "yom" actually means week, year, age, along with day and that in context, the word ordering is actually more likely to mean an age (or long period of time) rather than literal day. Here's a great pdf explaining the the understanding of the words and that a better translation should be "a second time" instead of "the second day" to fit the way that ancient hebrew is understood. http://www.godandscience.org/youngearth/yom_with_number.pdf

Like I said, don't do this on youtube, no one has ever been convinced of anything they read in youtube comments. If you want a good discussion, find a physics major who is a christian (trust me there are plenty). They are more likely to have a good discussion than some random youtuber.

Creationists (of any religion) must be the most ignorant people on earth. If you got any knowledge of natural sciences you'd know that you must reject ALL science in order to accept creationism.

Hopefully mankind grows away from this religion thing soon enough.

My best friend is a YEC with a Ph.D in Biology. It's totally bizzare, but you can actually have an intelligent conversation with him because he knows enough about evolution to respect it and the evidence that it comes from. He has much more highly developed arguments than anyone else I've ever talked to, and it's actually intellectually engaging to see how he fits his conceptions of God and religion together with his knowledge of science. I don't agree, but he's intelligent and open-minded enough to have a rational discussion with you about it.

That's what I don't get about these kids online. Every one of them thinks they understand evolution perfectly, but then they repeatedly insist upon saying things like "So one day a fish decided to drop gills in favor of lungs..." and "don't tell me that isn't how it happened, I've seen the videos."

Maybe when I was 17 or something I had fun getting into internet arguments that I knew would never be resolved but these days I prefer to just give people a lot of blunt force trauma with one or two really insulting comments and then think about how cool I am for a while.

are you talking sense in a religion thread? OUT OUT OUT!

seriously though, nice post. i think the best evidence against 7 day creationism is the bible itself. there are bits of genesis that clearly aren't meant to be literal, and the more you study them the more you see that most of the meaning only comes if you assume that it's a metaphor,

for example, on "days" 1-6 there is morning and evening but on "day" 7 when God rests there is no beginning or end. so at the beginning God's plan was for there to be rest for all time, until sin came.

meaning taken from the assumption that these are not literally days.

In the interest of full disclosure I was raised Seventh-day Adventist, and young-Earth creationism is implicit in their theology. The seventh day of the week is held to be the literal sabbath of the creation week, and it is considered apostasy to change the holy day to Sunday or any other day. As you can see, destroying the creation week destroys one of their fundamental doctrines (it's in the name of the denomination, after all), and so people go to ridiculous lengths to validate their belief in a young Earth. The universe argument is easily dismissed by saying that the "sun moon and stars" section of Genesis 1 and 2 are only referring to our immediate celestial surroundings. Scientific truths that can be accepted with only minor theological adjustments are always welcome; the line is drawn when they cannot be accepted without destroying foundational doctrine.

sad to hear that's what they believe. I don't think arguing will ever change their minds though, cause as you've said, they've tied up their belief in everything that's true about christianity (don't know if you'd still agree with me there) with this strange belief in creationism..

i think the only way to talk to people there is to show them that what they believe about God doesn't necessitate believing that 6400 years ago God created fossils.

Go on the Flat Earth Society forum for "intelligent" discussions. It's basically a bunch of pseudo-scientists VS a bunch of pseudo-scientists that believe the Earth is flat. Both sides have a lot of fallacies in their arguments and there are countless threads that go nowhere. Somethings they say on both sides come out from thin air.

I talked to my cousin a long time ago about the forum, and he laughed and said my friends are part of it. I said "WAIT! you have friends that believe the Earth is flat?" and he answered "Of course not, I thought it was well-known that they are a bunch of trolls..."

Honestly, when I was like 10-15 year old and started browsing the internet, I thought it was my duty to argue with everyone I thought were wrong. Now, I know better, it's a waste of time. Everyone on the internet will never change their minds. If you want a serious discussion about anything with someone, it is better to do in private. Arguments on the web are all governed by Godwin's Law anyways.

I didn't really say anything about the truth of the beliefs. My original comment contrasted opera and crunkcore but I changed it because I thought people would react with bias about one being more worthwhile than the other without thinking about the reasons why that might be the case.

Yeah, I've seen their website before. I remember a thread where one of the guy had compiled "evidence" about "The Conspiracy" that included mentioning that every single chevron in the logo of every airline company in the world is "one-fifth of a pentagram." Hilarious.

Perhaps I expect people to be willing to consider new evidence because I was willing to consider new evidence? Is that terribly naive?

hey, i made my first ever post in a religion thread (had just started learning BW and had nothing to contribute to the strat discussions, but felt i actually knew something about religion!)

yeah.. they tend to be pretty horrible, before my time, but hilarious when i stumbled on this:

LOL, I remember RebelHeart and his blogs... Man that discussion really gets my blood boiling...

Btw, to Christians, why can't Zeus be the god, or Odin, or Xenu, or spaghetti monster?

The majority of christians (myself included) don't actually believe in young earth creationism and no church I have ever been too has included it in their list of what they believe and have never heard anyone talk about it in any message. The whole modern young earth belief system didn't even arise til much later in christian history. The simplest argument against it is talking about how we can see stars that are billions of light years away ....


In the interest of full disclosure I was raised Seventh-day Adventist, and young-Earth creationism is implicit in their theology. The seventh day of the week is held to be the literal sabbath of the creation week, and it is considered apostasy to change the holy day to Sunday or any other day. As you can see, destroying the creation week destroys one of their fundamental doctrines (it's in the name of the denomination, after all), and so people go to ridiculous lengths to validate their belief in a young Earth. The universe argument is easily dismissed by saying that the "sun moon and stars" section of Genesis 1 and 2 are only referring to our immediate celestial surroundings. Scientific truths that can be accepted with only minor theological adjustments are always welcome; the line is drawn when they cannot be accepted without destroying foundational doctrine.


Yeah, certain denominations do. I go to a "non denominational" baptist church, but the pastor doesn't believe in literal 6 day. Also went to an evangelical church and same thing. The only protestant churches i've heard of that believe it literally are mostly fundamentalist churches which have other significant problems.
