I am a South African (SA) and I have taken an interest in atheism, which I didn't know exists. my own family treats me like somehow I am doing something wrong by not believing in the bible or its nonsense, which I have been force feed into believing from childhood and I remember that at some point in my life, I use to take church serious for the sake of making my mother proud since she believes heavily on these fables along with some relatives not everybody thou. almost plus or minus 22 years of my life not once have I ever felt this power that these people speak of, when they pray for me I don't feel jack but it was weird with people around me claiming that they've been saved to find them doing the exact opposite of being saved a few days later 😂, even my own family, as a child I've always known that things don't poof out of thin air cause if they did, that would still happen now and I've always known we were apes some how but as a child I never understood how but as I matured and gained knowledge of evolution, life made way more sense and thanks to the education system and AronRa I'm sure ill never believe in majestic stuff, but here in SA people REALLY value spiritual superstitions, with sangomas ( witch doctors ) somehow knowing the unknowable, predicting peoples life-threatening experiences accordingly and using muthi and witches using muthi are said to be able to cause every disease and misfortune under the sun but this use of medicine to achieve its objectives, has some form of spiritual activities tied to it, and I've heard numerous people saying it works. never did for me thou. As soon as they find me watching AronRa they all just get angry and aggravated, shouting saying i must switch Aron off, living with superstition people is fuckin irritating.

But with science, unlike religion, there was always a hint that reality is just a bit too hard for your 6th grade brain to understand. The quantum electron orbital wave function exists, we just can't teach it until you understand multi variable calculus, differential equations, etc. With religion, there are no answers when you probe deeper.

"Do believers just believe without a thought? Have they never examined these stories to realize irreconcilable inconsistencies with their interpretations?" Genesis Apologetics didn't put this video together by accident. The "myths" it's trying to "debunk" are basically what any reasonable person, raised in the echo chamber of young earth creationism, would notice immediately upon actually reading their Bible. Literally page 2 will have contradictions with page 1. This is trying to do damage control and paper over the plot holes using arguments that sound sophisticated enough for a believer to let their guard down and keep the faith. A lot of it is in the genre of "who do you believe, me or your lying eyes?". But for people stuck in a totalitarian system of thought like YEC, sometimes they choose the obvious liar because it's very uncomfortable and possibly complicated to leave it behind.

Our generation has been given event predicted by the Bible (Old Testament). It says that after the Jews were judged for worshipping other gods by God, they would be called back from the world wide dispersion back to the Promised Land. They would make Jerusalem their capital again; make the barren land (forced to take a sabbath by God) fertile again; have trees planted on the hills again; and even talk/use Hebrew again. All the prophecies concerning what would happen to the Jews if they turned away from God and worshipped other gods were fulfilled: death, defeat, enslavement; destruction of Jerusalem; expelled from the Promised Land; world wide dispersion; world wide hatred and despise. All these prophesied events have happened EXACTLY as the 3,000 year old Biblical text said it would happen. In the last 80 years from the ashes of the Holocaust, Israel became a nation; the Jews from all over the Earth came back to the Promise Land; Jerusalem became the capital again; fertile farms fill the land; and even the Hebrew language is used in Israel again. === This proves that the God of the Bible is real/exists and is today involved in human history.

That whole how the tiger got its stripes fable is applicable in another place in genesis. The ancient people who wrote these stories actually did know something about animal husbandry. They knew how to butcher animals and they knew what their bones and skeletons looked like. They knew that many large mammals had a penile bone, or baculum, that helped them have and maintain an erection for mating. And they knew that humans did not. The baculum looks a lot like a rib bone. And ancient Hebrew had no word for baculum. They also knew what their male genitalia looked like. They knew that there was a scar-like line from the head of the penis, or glans, right down around the scrotum, across the perineum (or taint) to the anus. The people telling the creation story to each other explained all that with the removing the rib from the man (no baculum) and closing up that place (the scar-like line) and through refinement we have todays “How come man’s doesn’t have a baculum and has something that looks like a scar on his naughty bits” as the “Adams rib from the side” fable.

While I'm at it, it doesn't really explain on what day of creation the birds that can't fly showed up, like penguins, emus, dodos, and kiwis.

Because the bible is screwed up. Simple According to Genesis, in what order were the land animals, man, and women created? This “simple” question has two different answers. According to Genesis 1:24-27, God creates the land animals (vv. 24-25), and then man and woman (vv. 26-27). However, in Genesis 2:7, God creates man, and then in v. 19 creates animals, and in v. 22 creates woman. Thus, the commonly heard idea that Genesis 2 is an elaboration upon Genesis 1, filling in various details, does not work-the two accounts tell different stories.

Essentially because the writers of the bible had no notion of taxonomy. They thought of animals in terms of what they do, rather than what they are.

What gets me is the verbal and mental gymnastics and the sheer effort the Biblical creationists put into promoting these ancient myths - and that anyone can still find them even remotely believable. If these idiots were putting out "educational" videos about the supposed reality and literal "facts" about Santa Claus and his flying reindeer, floating fantastical theories about the "physics" of reindeer flight and Santa's ability to visit every chimney in the world in one twenty-four-hour circumnavigation, not one human being above the age of five would give them a moment's consideration. They wouldn't even rise to the level of a joke.

The existence of hunter gatherer societies kind of contradicts the notion of agriculture being a punishment for the fall. The Garden of Eden seems more like a story of choices. The fundamental one is whether humans remain animals, blissfully unaware of their personal mortality, or if they recognize the frailty of their existence by empowering their sense of self, the ego. But the ego needs comfort si it invents god and invents its special place in "god's plan". Hey-presto! Religion.

I like people who legitimately just want to help people and make the world a little better than it was before. It's shameful that someone as moral as Aron will have to struggle to build a channel while most Christian Nationalist extremists will be rewarded for pumping out misinformation and religious and political propaganda.

You know, the fact that Jesus taught almost exclusively in parables (according to the gospels anyway) really takes away from the idea that the accounts in the Torah that he referenced were literally true. The stories he referenced didn't need to be literally true for him to make the points he was trying to make when he referenced them - he was using them as analogies in the first place. The idea that Jesus referenced things written in the Torah means Jesus believed it was literally true really ignores Jesus's teaching style. I didn't even find that a convincing argument when I was a Christian. BTW, this is me granting them the gospels for the sake of argument here.

43:20 there is an argument that can be made that we are at the centre of the universe. The problem with the argument is that it works no matter where in the universe you are. It goes as follows: The universe was once very small and expanded essentially equally in all directions. Therefore wherever you are in the universe, you are at the point where the big bang happened. And since light travels at a finite speed, from our perspective we are at the centre. If you wanted to be dishonest you could easily use the fact that when we look out at the universe we find a giant sphere centered on us, the very edge of which is a "barrier" beyond which we can not see because the universe didnt exist before that. Which fits perfectly with their dumb worldview.

AronRa, the problem is that you NEVER heard the entire story of how Adam and Eve were created... the story is very abscure, so I will tell it now.. Adam alone in the garden, his head was in his hands and obviously depressed. When God entered the garden he looked down upon Adam and asked Adam what was wrong. Adam explained, " Here I am in the garden, care taler for all, I weed the garden, remove thorns from paws, yet all the animals have mates, but I do not. So God said unto Adam, " I will make you the most perfect mate. Your mate will know your every need and attend it before you even ask. She will never argue because you and she will be of one mind. She will aid you in all your tasks in the garden with out complaint. So Adam asks, " What will this cost me?, and God replies, "an arm and a leg..." Adam then teplies, "What would I get for a 'rib'"... And now you know the rest of the story...

Many christian apologists know the myth of Adapa and Enki… They KNOW these myths are a direct threat to the “originality” of their loved bible stories. You can read christian apologists bending backwards to either discredit the ancient myths or trying to highlight differences. No, we never say the bible writers just copied those myths. We say they were the backstory, the culture, the inspiration and the link to their own myth. Those ancient myths were around for hundreds of years before the Hebrews composed their own. You CANNOT deny those Mesopotamian myths were before and first, they are the link to the bible myths. And christian apologists go nuts when we highlight that.

@@FreeSnoww pointless. Human history may seem as linear but we evolve in cycles. Myths aren’t lies in a sense of people making shit up. Humans always dealt with issues like life, death, evil, etc. so we (collectively speaking) invented stories to explain those deep and obscure realities of life. Ancient cultures developed stories that became ingrained in cultural symbols, a very fertile cultural soup of stories, myths and traditions. Of course Adam and Eve story is basically a myth, of course the jesus story of death and redemption is mythical BS. But they are BS not because there were lying to us, or disregarded historical facts, they are a colourful way to explain things they didn’t know better (and stories are more interesting). Your dilema of either historical or fabricated is pointless. False dichotomy. Myths explained things they way those peoples were able to understand them. It was true to them in that sense. But in the big picture, they took from each other, they borrowed ideas and symbols (maybe not even knowing it really). In that sense I say Adama is older than Adam story. And there are many more myths that made this rich soup for the bible myths to emerge. But if you believe literally there was an Adam and an Eve and a garden and all that, well, hope you do not….. I’m pretty sure nowadays we know better and we don’t need those myths.

@@Dan_C604 I’m saying, where do you draw the line between historical figures and myth. You claim there’s evolution “cycles” and it not linear, but it’s implying you think history to be subjective to each teller rather than having an absolute basis. Also modern history would be all in the current evolutionary cycle. Anything else would be over 10000 years old and of uncertain record. You’re discussing details of the account which are certainly questionable, but are you claiming nothing ever happened and it’s all “myth” or tale, or that some details may have been lost over the years through translations with fictitious/allegorical elements and it up to us to extract the facts. I’m asking do you think Jesus and his apostles ever walked the earth? Clearly Adam is a relic of the past consistent with Sumerian history, so you either ignore and throw it all out and say they’re stupid wrong and no way it was ever actual and they made up figures, or you fit it into a universal model. Idk, I just think it’s hubris and ignorance to take cultural traditional stories, and thousands of years later claim things that were recorded, as being false despite no relationship or credence given. I get being skeptical and analytical but we’re agreeing it’s all unfounded bs just authors coming up with things to write and there really is no “history”

According to Genesis, in what order were the land animals, man, and women created? This “simple” question has two different answers. According to Genesis 1:24-27, God creates the land animals (vv. 24-25), and then man and woman (vv. 26-27). However, in Genesis 2:7, God creates man, and then in v. 19 creates animals, and in v. 22 creates woman. Thus, the commonly heard idea that Genesis 2 is an elaboration upon Genesis 1, filling in various details, does not work-the two accounts tell different stories.
