As opposed to the scientific community doing everything it can to sniff out christians and fire them, so that the scientific community is "whole" and a farce?

As a Ukrainian girl, who was raised in a very religious protestant (evangelical) family. When me and my sister were younger our parents often showed us this movie and other American christian movies like "God is not dead" etc And back then those movies appeared to be pretty good to me, I would think like: "wow, this guy just completely destroys evolution! If only atheist watched this movie and listened to his arguments they would all convert to Christianity. And this thing with chicken and egg is so cool and smart!" And now looking at those films again I just realize how cringy and stupid they are, and that those "arguments" can't even be considered arguments, leave alone convince somebody. I started deconstructing my faith about a year ago, ( war became the trigger that made me reconsider my values and beliefs) I'm 18 years old I still live with my family, and I must say that it's not easy, because Christianity is something that I was taught to build my life around, I'm still on this way. I started learning about evolution recently, basically all I was taught about it by my parents was: "those stupid scientists believe that we evolved from chimpanzees, so when they will teach you about this in school don't believe it, you can even get a bad grade for these lessons and we won't be mad at you" so I never took it seriously. And now I am learning from basics and your channel helps me sooo much!!! You explain those things in such a simple language that even me, non native English speaker without much knowledge of the topic can understand it. Keep doing it, please.

Despite the genetic change the fruit fly still remained a fruitfly, it didn’t evolve into a praying mantis. You can’t test or observe something that happened supposedly 60 million years ago. You can test what the Bible says... “In the beginning God made them male and female.” Evolution doesn’t make any provision for females. It’s sexist, unscientific and downright dumb. Isaac Newton said “Atheism is so senseless.” That’s the father of science. But you don’t want to hear about that because you’re in love with your sins. The only reason atheistic evolution is popular is because it gets rid of moral accountability to our Creator. If you died today, where would you go? Heaven or hell? Have you lied? Stolen? Used Gods name in vain? Jesus said “whoever looks at a woman and lusts after her has committed adultery already with her in his heart.” Have you looked with lust? Had sex outside of marriage? If so, the Bible says that God sees you as a lying thieving blasphemous fornicating adulterate heart, and you have to face God on judgement day. Acknowledge your sins. You know you’ll be guilty and end up in hell. That’s not Gods will. He loves you so much that He provided a way for you to be forgiven. Though we broke Gods law, Jesus stepped in and paid the fine. Then He rose from the dead and defeated death. Today, repent (confess and forsake your sins) and trust in Jesus, and you’ve got Gods promise that He’ll dismiss your case, forgive your sins and give you eternal life as a free gift. Make sense?

Imagine having an unlimited budget (evolutionism has nearly unlimited budget) and still having low standards of science (required to be low to believe in evolution).

I can’t thank you enough for doing what you are doing. I was raised Baptist and went to private Baptist church run schools up until 6th grade. I was legitimately told by my teachers that “scientists lie about the age of the earth because they don’t want to submit to gods authority”. We were never taught how creation was scientifically sound, just that scientists lie. We used to regularly host Ken Hamm and I would eagerly attend his seminars. Beyond 6th grade I was religiously exempted from the evolution section of my science classes. And I was lied to. I was lied to about how evolution worked. I was lied to about how the universe worked and I was conditioned to accept facts without proof. The thing that knocked me out of my deliberate indoctrination and brainwashing was that Ken Hamm is STILL using the same outdated premises of evolution to discredit it. It was learning that evolution itself has changed and adapted when new information was received that help me realize Ken was just running a smear campaign and an outdated one at that. I’m 35 years old. Ken’s arguments are at least 30 years out of date. Minimum. Science has come SO FAR. I’ve begun through your channel and others like it to finally understand what evolution truly frames and how all the pieces fit together. AND IM 35. There are so many adults like myself who truly just don’t know enough to understand WHY evolution has such a strong case. I cannot thank you enough. I was brainwashed and shown films like these you’re debunking constantly as a child. It means the world to me to have someone like you take the time to assist me in untangling the brainwashing I’ve received in churches through my life. I wish I could support financially at this time but I’m unable to. But I sure will like and subscribe! Please please never stop. You don’t know how important your work is.

I’m guessing that this is the REAL REASON for the scarves 🧣. However, this makes no sense with regard to the locations worn. Modern college women are some of the least dressed people imaginable. Club wear is designed to be sexy, but also serves to permit the skin to breathe, especially when one is dancing with 300 other people in the room. Now, a freshmen’s get-together might be bit more modest, but not at a public university as portrayed in the movie. I see nothing but psychological “modesty projection” and can’t help but feel a church pastor’s wife had an input for the costumes worn by the college women. If all those gals weren’t from the same cult-err, church- women’s group, I’d be surprised.

That struck me as awful too. The parent witnessed the incident, but did nothing to make things right for the victim. The correct thing to do (as an atheist parent) is to tell your child to return the stolen item and apologize. If they won't, you return it and apologize for them, and further punishment may follow depending on your parenting style. Make things as right as you can for the victim, and teach your child that this behavior is not acceptable. But no, budget Shaggy's parent lets him keep the coin (as far as we are aware), so theft is OK but you got to make it good with Jesus afterwards with some serious kneeling-based god-knob sucking. What a wonderfully ethical lesson to help your child not be a total dick, not.

In all honesty, once you strip away a lot of the grandstanding and fancy phrases, a decent amount of this religion is built around justifying abusive relations. To me, that is likely the entire reason the character of 'Satan' was invented in the first place (he didn't exist before a certain point in the religion, no matter how they try to claim otherwise). It's not enough to have flowery promises of a 'better place,' so they created this big, nebulous evil god to scare people into staying. It's also why a lot of the loudest 'preachers' are constantly demonizing things they don't like, because at this point the 'threat' of 'eternal damnation' isn't enough on its own anymore.

Since Forrest decided to be obsessive about women wearing scarves, here's a timestamp list and ongoing count of scarves in this episode: 2:29 9 observable scarves 3:30 6 scarf occasions 3:45 2 scarf spottings 4:52 1 scarf counted 5:47 3 scarves, oddly less than the first class. apparently most people didn't get the memo about being able to pass the class just by showing up 17:56 magnificent note on what the scarf budget is, some rough googling shows that their budget was $600,000, and typically around $5,000 goes into budget for a lower budget movie with no big costumes like this, given that the average cheap scarf costs $10-$15 on amazon, and there are 23 scarves, all the good scarves I found were in the range of $100. This gives us a range of 230-2,300, so possibly half of the estimated budget went into scarves (realistically much less but possibly) 20:03 scarf party once again showing the 6 scarves counted earlier 31:07 Ally/ali/alli/aly I have no idea how to spell her name has murdered 3 scarves as shown in the miniature highlight reel 32:38 1 future victim is shown with what I believe to be a scarf not seen before 33:46 the next eight scarvers have been chosen for the sacrifice, the cult is now beginning to spread 35:15 a large group without scarves, the sacrifice has occurred and a new group must now be chosen 50:50 the next 1 has been selected, the birth of scarf god is nigh 23 scarves given to feed the scarf god in total, we shall see in the sequel: Bible 2: Scarf Jesus Rises Again where this plot point goes

On small scales, these changes are barely noticeable (you and your parents), but on large scales, they are very different (you and dinosaurs). Scales are measured by generation, not years. When does a dinosaur give birth to a non dinosaur, then? That's the fuzzy line, and we rely on taxonomy for that. I won't pretend to know about that except that it has to do with the ability to reproduce. I would like a clear definition of "kind," especially from those few that don't believe in evolution at all.

Rachel deserved better, she deserved the ability to think for herself and either deconstruct and go back to Christianity or leave the faith. But then, there'd be the option she does leave, and that can't be allowed. You will never escape far enough.

Like many of us, she went off to college and was exposed to new ideas that challenged her beliefs. Unfortunately, her dad caught wind of this and personally made sure to destroy any chance of her having a social life or escaping indoctrination.

You can always take the tryhard road of going low/no contact with the abusive ones while becoming reasonably well read in theology, biology, astronomy, and physics to at least have interesting conversations with the more pro-social fam without them shaking your confidence. Sometimes the cord just has to be cut to live a more fulfilling life though. If they're going to be overbearing they can be overbearing far away from me, ya know? Their controlling behaviour ain't your fault, that's their own damage.

this comment describes perfectly what happened to me, my mom found out I was atheist about two years ago, we had our arguments and discussions and eventually there was some semblance of peace between us and she accepted that I would not be rejoining the church, literally a few weeks ago, I got ambushed by her and my sister with them telling me I am lost and why I listen to atheist programs instead of religious to find out the truth... The only answer I had for her is because I don't like being limited and confined in my exploration of life and existence...

This to me was always a red flag with religion. If you have to constantly ensure somebody isn't exposed to ideas outside of one specific doctrine, that means you don't have the answers you say you do. If there was one single divine 'truth' every doubt and every question would inevitably lead you back to confirmation of that truth. It would be unassailable and no rational person would ever become an atheist, or at least not stay one for long.

​​​​@@user-fo8ey1ix6f Lol youre about 80 yrs behind. And there have been studies for decades that show the biological basis of transsexuals brains with or without hormones, . Yes we can alter biology that is the entire basis of medicine. Not just sex characteristics that's old hat since ww2 ( and transsexuals were actually required to use the bathroom of their transition sex in order to be approved for hormones until 21st century). Weve been running that society for nearly 100 yrs, this is the real red pill (in fact the entire red pill concept was invented by trans ppl as a metaphor for being trans ROFLMAO) But in fact from the invention of fire we have been engaged on a species wide effort to liberate ourselves from biology. But we are altering biology in a great many ways more cutting edge than gender. Thats mid 20th century. You'd be amazed what we can do. Robots made of cell cultures of nerves "head cheese" that make brainless decisions. Computers fueled by bacteria. This is the problem with conservatives and why they always fail and lose culture. They're always late to the party, because they never find out about anything until its already been debated to death, studied, and become assimilated. Only then do they even know about it. Its inherent to it. In fact gender was destined to stop being very meaningful due to the industrial revolution. Because only agricultural societies reward having more than a few offspring. Both in societies that occur before (hunter gatherers) and after (technology) farm based society, gender was egalitarian and roles are fluid and pragmatic based on individuals. But you're changing the subject. The truth is even without high school, there is a Huge attrition rate among evolution deniers, because people have access to all the worlds information now and reject it as adults. Evangelicals are a sick twisted cult secretly led by Evil, if anyone is. Denying evolution is not a prerequisite or norm in religion or Christianity. Nor does evolution claim there is no God. In fact its only whacky Evangelicals who seem to have a problem with science. Mainline Protestants, Catholics, Eastern Orthodox accept science and evolution without it threatening their faith. As well as Conservative and Reform Jews.

This is just my personal theory as a person who grew up in a cult: There's probably so many scarves in this movie because they wanted to cover up the women that they thought had low cut shirts, because some of these people have to be extras that didn't know what they were getting into so they just showed up and the director went oh we can't let you have a v-neck that's too revealing! For context we (girls) weren't allowed to wear sleeveless shirts to school because *that* was too revealing...

I low-key find it so funny how Christians movies almost always have a bunch of women in scarfs no matter what the setting. It's most likely because the outfits they wore probably had a v-neck that "went to low" for a christian movie, and the director told them to cover up 😂😂😅

Everyone knows that women, and only women, wear scarves every day during the months of August and September, but as the weather gets colder fewer scarves will be worn.

That father got lucky. In some states, not leaving someone's property when told to gives them the right to shoot you.

This reminded me of the scariest episode of Star Trek TNG. Q was up to his usual shenanigans and showed Picard, the primordial soup. There was a longish lead up but then it just went 'ploop' and life never formed on earth. That stuck with me to this day.

"[Rachel] is a model student, she's always studying, and she's only been to one scarf party." I would like to submit a complaint to HR. I feel like our biology professor is coming to our parties and counting the number of scarves. And it's making me uncomfortable.

Went to a christian school for 13 years, been away from it for 6, and today was the first day I've ever heard the word 'abiogenesis'. That concerned me more than anything in this movie did.

So it's the first time you heard the term Abiogenesis? Christians don't hide that term, we know what evolutionists believe. The problem is there is no evidence for Abiogenesis. NONE!! We actually have a law of Biogenesis that says life only comes from life. So if we do true science, and not make up imaginary stories that we have no evidence to support, we see that Abiogenesis has no science to support it. If you believe that lightning struck some water and created DNA, the most advanced digital code in the world that we know of, with workers that all work together to copy the code, check for mistakes, machines that read the code and builds chains of building blocks, and then machines that fold the protein into the right shape, and electric motors, ATP synthase, with a rotor and stator, that creates the energy needed for the cell, of you think all that happened because some lightning struck some water, you need your head checked. It's not possible, but besides that lightning can not create life, lightning would obliterate any potential cellular life. And they have zero evidence to support it, yet they believe it. That takes alot more faith than to believe an intelligent mind created it. So now that you know the term "Abiogenesis", how does the prove lightning struck water and created the most advanced digital code with instructions to build life and also the machines that must read the code and build the proteins?

I had a similar experience myself. I didn't get a good explanation of what evolution even was in my entire grade school life. The textbook I was given literally used the watchmaker argument. When I made it to college and the teacher discussed the topic of evolution, I found it actually wasn't as complicated as I had been led to believe. I'd highly recommend finding resources to get a general understanding of the topics, just so you can understand what the subjects actually say for yourself.

Universities do the same thing to their younger faculty (and possibly the well-established faculty members as well, I left for greener pastures before I got to that point). Students are taken advantage of because they need an education. Faculty are taken advantage of because they have a passion for helping students. The universities themselves are often teetering on the edge of viability. There is an entire industry built around education that is taking advantage of every side.
