A Good Video by AiG

A good video by AiG, and if I didn't comment on the parts about abortion, it's because they were doing a great work needing no complement:

The “Equal Rights” Movement Is Getting Ridiculous
Answers in Genesis, 1.II.2023

0:18 It's not just* February, it's in Paris after 18:30 on February 1:st so, after First Vespers of Candlemass.

Also known as Purification of the Blessed Virgin.
Luke 2:22.

It's already 40 days after Christmas Eve. Tomorrow after midnight, Christmas is over.

Luke 2:22 up to, I think, verse 39.

4:22 If a guinea pig came into an emergency room, here is a thing to do.

"Madam, there is a traumatised violence victim over there, do you mind lending them the guinea pig, while we phone a veterinary for it?"

7:25 Materialistic evolution borrowing from** Hegelian and Wallacean spiritualistic / pantheistic ideas ...

7:49 Resident Latin scholar ... gilmorei means "of Gilmore"
Funcus vermis - I knew "vermis" for "worm" already - but "funcus" for "funky" proves Latin is a living language and accepting loans from English. First time ever I saw this adjective in Latin.

13:15 Right now I watch the chatfeed.

Dean : "Humans have inbred with a Sub-human or Animal species called Neanderthal ... which was not human by an Manimal."

Answer : Neanderthals were a pre-Flood human race, and some of the people on the Ark had mixed race ancestry. They were not sub-human.

I wonder if "Dean" as profile refers to a surname or to a Church dean?

John 1:1

Interesting. I know they supposedly showed a man in russia, normal stature, was a boxer i believe, larger brow, was highly educated. He was part neanderthal so they said. Interesting though bc he was very much human just heavily north eastern looking.

Hans-Georg Lundahl

@John 1:1 Neanderthal genes have been tested, perhaps especially the ones from El Sidrón in Spain.

This means, one can find out how people alive today line up with alleles of that or those Neanderthals. Most outside Africa have a few percent Neanderthal genome, perhaps that boxer had more than usual.

Perhaps Hercules had more than usual.

They were very strong people. Normal Neanderthal people would have had c. twice as much arm muscles as Schwarzenegger (Arnie).

That said, while the medium of Neanderthal alleles are c. 3 % of a genome (outside Black Africa), two thirds of the Neanderthal alleles are lost in today's world, and that specifically is the case with the ones that made Neanderthals look a bit weird.

Blades Hand Maids

What? 🤨 Neanderthals were just people. And post-flood people at that.

Hans-Georg Lundahl

@Blades Hand Maids I agree with people.

I don't agree with post-Flood.

Genetics and carbon dates (absolutely wrong but relatively right this far back) support they were pre-Flood.

Foods too. Neanderthals in Belgium were eating human flesh.

And the earth was corrupted before God, and was filled with iniquity.

Neanderthals in Spain by contrast lived off pine nuts. See, righteous people before Genesis 9:2 were not yet eating meat.

24:50 Exactly what God feels about same sex relations.
Plus one passage about what desires for them are (contrary to nature).

The word "homosexuality" comes from psychology and is used more losely.

I know of homosexual men who opted to live chastely in respect of God's law. I know one who actually spent years in a marriage which might still be there, if he hadn't been a psychologist thinking of exactly what type of emotional response his wife had a right to and didn't get from him, even though they are very fond and have four daughters ...

26:52 God abhors homosexual acts. The crime known as sodomy.

Voluntarily dreaming of such is obviously also horrible to God in the light of Mt 5:28. However, it is not the kind of thing the human law should punish, if it remains unspoken.

Again, the psychologists use the term more losely than even just these two things, so it would not be correct that all that is covered by the word is an offense against God.

And if you mean other things than what psychologists mean, don't borrow your vocabulary from them.

The difference between sodomy and homosexuality is like between stealing and cleptomania.

25:20 You know, considering Church of England came around through Catholic clergy accomodating to Henry VIII wanting a divorce and Church of Sweden came around through Catholic clergy accomodating to Gustav Wasa wanting to tax Church property (before Henry VIII did!), I am not very surprised that they continue to accomodate to worldly powers that be.

26:15 I object as Catholic to your calling that man "Pope" ...

Our last Pope died August 2:nd last year. I think he's buried in Topeka, where he lived most of his last years.

30:20 As said, the non-Catholic Bergoglio shouldn't be referred to as Pope.

If one ain't a member of Christ's body, one ain't a head of Christ's body on earth either. To paraphrase a real Catholic authority, St. Robert Bellarmine.

Some people who respected a somewhat less obviously un-Catholic man, who wasn't the Pope either, tried to make Bergoglio Pope for real by electing him on Jan. 30 this year. I have not seen any signal that Fr. Francis Dominic (who was a friend of the late Pope Michael) accepts this, and I would be surprised to see Bergoglio starting to behave like a Catholic ... (the news was from before this event) ... their plan being "if he really becomes Pope now, he'll really become a Catholic" ...

30:48 I am pretty sure men and apes can say "hello" to each other. Men and dogs can. Man and feline can.

An ape can't say "I ate bananas yesterday breakfast and apples this morning" - but a man can.

Irrational animals have no notions, they don't express even the most concrete concepts in absence of the situation or stimulus (except as a prank, since it's taken as if the situation were present), they have no pasts, no futures, no conditionals, no negated sentences, no global sentence breaking down into different morphemes, each having a usually notional meaning, and even less any morphemes breaking down into phonemes that are meaningless on their own.

They also can't do recursivity, like "the peel of the apple of the tree of the garden" or "this is the mouse that ate the malt that was in the house that Jack built" ...

In fact, it would be somewhat hard for apes to organise their language that way, considering that the ape hyoid involves hooks for airbags that make volume greater, but also add distortion and make vowels highly unclear, and also considering that their thick ears means their spectrum of audible noise is on lower frequencies than consonants like dentals and labials, probably even than velars ... plus learning and processing actual language requires the areas of Broca and Wernicke, as well as the human version of the FOXP2 gene.

Once you consider how language is more than just saying hello, it's a huge great good argument against molecules to man or even just ape to man evolution.

32:59 You see how "origin of human language" is as unsolvable to those guys as abiogenesis?

You know Dr. Jonathan Sarfati's and some others' answers to that one? You've noticed the absence of solutions to how membranes came to be, when Millery Urey conditions don't produce phosopholipids? Well, there's a similar thing about "origin of human language" ...

Jean Aitchison wrote a wonderful book about changes in human language (like the changes that added up can lead from Anglo-Saxon to English, from Latin to Spanish ... but studied mainly on a smaller and more observable and understandable scale). It's called Language change: Progress or decay? and I read it on the one course at college I failed at.

She has also written The seeds of speech: Language origin and evolution.

I recommend you to read it if you want a laugh. She even pretended birds showed an example of "double articulation" just because the smallest unit is more often an interval than a single note.

"Animals have no notions, they don't express even the most concrete concepts in absence of the situation..."

You cant mean all animals. Unless you are under the impression humans are not mammals

Hans-Georg Lundahl

@foy22chris22 I was sloppy.

Irrational animals etc have no notions.

Thank you for correction.

foy22chris22

@Hans-Georg Lundahl No worries. I kind of figured. Thanks for the clarification.

33:08 "they are assuming evolution"

As with abiogenesis, that's their smallest problem. They have far bigger ones.

33:40 now Bryan Osborne is starting to say sth ...

"their communication and ours is like a rock to a universe"

You could equally say "like a pebble to a living cell" ...

* Bryan Osborne was a bit surprised it was February - seems those guys aren't used to celebrating Candlemass!
** The discussion on the video is about ascribing intentionality to evolutionary processes.
