Rebutting Genesis Apologetics = 2nd of 7 Alleged Myths

Here is a link to the whole playlist:
I am addressing this pseudoscience apologetics video, "Debunking the Seven Myths about the Bible, Genesis, and Noah's Flood":
Here is my video on Unfulfilling Prophecy
If you like what I do, please consider supporting my efforts.

After listening to this apologetic I can see how Wade / Roe can be overturned.
These people are literally insane. That’s how I see it. They are crazy.

[soriacx]

So, the apologists only source of "argumentation" is a single, looong-winded "for the bible tells me so" (insert Paulogia jingle here...)

I love how genesis apologetics goes from videos with an unfunny host lying to children, to two unfunny hosts lying to teenagers, to an unfunny voiceover lying to young adults. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

You are relentless and I applaud you for it. I love it every time you debunk the Firmament because it was exactly the thing that flipped a switch in my brain 2 1/2 years ago. It was during the video of a speech you gave years ago. Many doubts had been building over years and after several day's of watching atheist content, your description of the Firmament as portrayed in the Bible let me finally realize that none of it was true. Thank you.

Wow, just wow. I never thought about that! God supposedly created Adam and Eve naked, but once Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, making them aware of what is good and what is evil, they realized that it was wrong to be naked. So God basically created Adam and Eve wrong, or Adam and Eve did not actually have knowledge of what is actually good or evil. Never fails, I always learn something new in every one of your videos. Keep up the great work!

I always loved how God making the stars was put in Genesis like a footnote. All of those vast, incomprehensibly distant stars' creation are "documented" as such:
"He made the stars also." 😂

Gotta love the "fine tuned universe" argument, while 99.99% of the universe would kill us almost instantly.

An apologist once told me that I couldn't prove I had a brain, because I hadn't observed it... So I told him we could always get an MRI. He shut up after that...

"How can this genealogy not be historical?" - Have they not seen the Game of Thrones/ASOIAF family trees? Just by following the male line in this incestuous knot-weed, there are 24 generations, almost all with a date of birth, death, and most having a cause of death. By the gods! It's a historically accurate piece of information! Westeros must be a real place!

[simongiles]

As soon as they mentioned Mt. St. Helens I rolled my eyes so hard they nearly fell out of my head. Let's bring up Nebraska Man next, for the Tired Old Creationist Nonsense Bingo card.

Bit dodgy on the sound balance, this one, BTW. My right ear at least enjoyed Prof Stavrakapolou and Dr Baker. But nevertheless, a solid and strong rebuttal of the usual utter creationist drivel.

It's amazing that most Christians scoff at Mormons for believing what they do, when Moses's and Joseph Smith's interactions with their claimed god are remarkably similar

[Soapy-chan_old]

16:50 by this logic, the Lord of the Rings story is historical. And we also got an actual writer's name and movies to solidify this.

[Sirkykesoftherealm]

It’s funny, I remember being in wonder at the genealogy of the Bible. Now I realize it’s just as fanciful as the line of Durin from Middle Earth. I think I’ll stick to Tolkien for my fantasy instead of the bible thank you. Always enjoy these educational videos 👍🏻

Mom was a church gal, and her 13'th birthday gift was a bible. Dad was not. I think he only went to get married and once or twice since. When dad was 93 and not enjoying life any more he decided to "take the black pill". It was most peaceful. He declined the minister and asked that "nobody say a prayer for me". He was looking forward to the next great adventure, had no regrets and I believe he lived life the right way. I miss him.

the poster of "the evolution of religions and myths" is a nice touch

[jimmythebold]

How could JRR Tolkien's stories, with their detailed timelines, NOT be a

[BoneySkylord]

Having gone through the process of waking up from religion I always find it puzzling to realise that other people haven’t done so and still genuinely believe it is an accurate way of understanding the nature of the universe. Thank you for your brilliant videos. Please keep them coming.

"Thou shalt not kill" is a translation error. The Judaic original says "Thou shalt not *murder."*

Killing the enemy in a war is not murder. Judicial executions, for "crimes" like picking up sticks, are not murder. Killing gentiles, because your god tells you they are sub-human, is not murder. Killing people because your god tells you to is not murder.

The Bible contradicts itself here because of a translation error. So much for the inerrant word of God.

Speaking about Biblical interpretations, my dad has one that I don't think I've ever heard anywhere else. He claims that Adam was created with both biological sexes, and that the creation of Eve wasn't done with a rib, but with Adam's girl parts.

It's been two-thousand years, give or take, since the inception of Christianity, and we're _still_ getting brand new, whackball interpretations out of it.

EDIT: I'm consistently disappointed in believers' lack of creativity. That line of thought about death being bad, and therefore not the result of God's influence, is incredibly dull and egocentric. There are people out there who can appreciate death, on a practical, artistic, or even spiritual level. Who's to say God isn't one of those people? Apologists with an ax to grind, I guess.

EDIT 2: Except not, because I completely forgot about Leviticus, and all the blood sacrifices for atonement God wanted. I guess he liked blood sacrifice so much that he got desensitized to it, and that's why he had to concoct a scheme to make _himself_ (not not really) a blood sacrifice, _to_ himself, just so he could... Well, the apologists tell you it's for atonement, but I think it's how God gets his rocks off.

I'm always amazed when the creationnists point all the details that prove that you can't put millions of years in the Genesis, because I'm thinking "Yeah, sure, I knew that, I proposed it to help. You know, trying to accomodate the Genesis and reality, but if you want to stay on full mythology it's cool too" ^^"
