Professor Dave Explains

Professor Dave Explains

Welcome! I have a knack for explaining stuff and I want to share some knowledge with you.

I received a BA in chemistry from Carleton College, and performed graduate studies in both synthetic organic chemistry and science education at Cal State Northridge, receiving an MA in the latter. Prior to this I taught for about a decade in various high school and undergraduate settings, specializing in organic chemistry but also teaching general chemistry, physics, and biology.

This channel is for students at the high school and undergraduate level, but it is also for members of the general public who just want to know more about the world and how things work. My goal is to increase science literacy in our society, so please share these tutorials with anyone that you think might enjoy them. Happy learning!

    Thank you so much for making this video, i saw some of his stuff on my home page as i was binge watching solar related science videos during the solar storm, and at first glance was terrified at what could happen, i am glad this seems to be incorrect, not enough people are skeptic like you are and it shows, keep doing what you do.

    These guys will never debate you - or any academic scholar - in a million years. They preach Scripture and are experts on fallacies and confusion. Truth be told, if you do debate them live, they will likely win that debate - simply because they will turn the burden of proof on you and will deny whatever response you give them as illogical or wrong (even if it's not). Their target audience is gullible Muslims who request them to debunk scientific claims going against Quran/Islam, so they will come up with any fallacy they can to keep the masses accepting of "atheists dumb, Islam logical". If they find you too problematic to deal with, they WILL threaten you too. Here's a video for reference of how these Dawah guys are nothing less than dangerous gangs: m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/paqfk9eamrrdqJs.html&pp=ygUSSWpheiBhaG1lZCB0aHJlYXRz

    It's not true that the stars can't affect us from that far away. They can, and do so electromagnetically. If they couldn't, we wouldn't be able to see them 😁 But yes, astrology is horse manure.

    TL;DR: Kent has so little knowledge that any argument Dave presented, which didn’t address the absolute lowest level of understanding of biology, was completely misunderstood but Dave was ignorant to Kent’s ignorance. This is a very frustrating watch because you can see Kent’s thought process and reasoning but it only makes sense to him due to a complete lack of understanding of biology. Unfortunately I don’t think Prof. Dave realised during the debate just how ignorant Kent is. For example when Kent says, how does a dog “come from” an amoeba, he’s assuming a dog was a direct offspring of some arbitrary amoeba individual. Believing this, it would be completely unreasonable to argue in favour of this notion. However, of course, random mutations and shuffling of genetic material across many generations resulted in etc etc etc… Another example is Kent’s argument of ‘new information’; he thinks let’s say A C T/U G produced A C T/U G F. But again he doesn’t really conceptualise what ‘information’ is. The ‘building blocks’ did not mutate or change through evolution, the new ‘information’ is the new combinations of those building blocks (AAGGTC -> AAG*C*TC).

    If God exists and you belive, you gain eternity After death. If he exists and you don’t belive, you have eternity seperate from him (hell[not a nice space]). If he doesnt exist and i belive in him, I lived a good life (no anxiety, following the moral standard). If he doesnt exist and I don’t belive in him, then nothing happens after death and I could live my life as I wanted to. Please guys just read the Book of John in the bible. It takes like 1h and it could change your whole life to the better. God is real and he loves you. We live in the last days

    15:00. Another mistake. The original author is not Augustine, but Lactantius. Lactantius, Divine Institutes. 3.24.1 Well now: when philosophers opine there are people beneath our feet in the antipodes, are they talking sense? Is anyone so silly as to believe there are people whose feet are above their heads? Or that things on the ground with us hang the other way there, and crops and trees grow downwards, and rain, snow and hail fall upwards to the ground? No wonder the Hanging Gardens are counted among the seven wonders of the world when philosophers produce hanging fields, cities, seas and mountains! Augustine, City of God 16.9, merely says that there is no evidence that the southern hemisphere is inhabited; he insists there is no scientific objection.
