This is my brief opinion on the man.

$Creationist Name & Shame Series - HISTRUTHBEKNOWN 1 of 2 This is a series that will be produced as and when I have dealings with any Creationist on YouTube. The sad and simple truth is that you cannot reach many of these people with facts and evidence as they are too closed minded to accept it. In addition, many of them are so inured and hopelessly dependant on their belief system and have been convinced by their Evangelical ministers (or Rabbis or Imams) that they will fight dirty to protect their belief even if that belief is not under attack by science. The only recourse for these people is ridicule. Thunderf00t has his video series on why people laugh at Creationists and this is designed to complement that. He has more scientific knowledge than I do (Im not a scientist) and can explain the science behind his refutations of creationists. The purpose of my video series is to out Creationists whereve I come across them and show other people, using their own words, just how stupid, fanatical, unreasoning and vile these creationists really are. Each video in the series will address a single Creationist, their infractions, and the evidence that they have committed these infractions. Never again will a Creationist be able to make the claim that they havent taken anything out of context, because I will show them for the liars that they are. For this particular video, we will be addressing the user by the name of HISTRUTHBEKNOWN. His infractions include, but are not limited to: Quote mining, Outright Dishonesty, Wilful Ignorance, Hate Speech, Hypocrisy, and a number of other ethically questionable actions that honest people will not commit.

Dr Kenneth Miller - Evolution and Faith (1 of 9) http://www.youtube.com/user/DonExodus2 A Christian Evolutionary Proponent who accepts the scientific evidence for evolution and has made several instructional videos on the subject. Very knowledgeable and proof positive that not all Christians are Creationists or indeed insane. http://www.youtube.com/user/Thunderf00t An English scientist in the States who is responsible for the popular Why Do People Laugh At Creationist video series, of which I would like to see more. http://www.youtube.com/user/cdk007 Another very intelligent evolutionary proponent. His videos provide explanations for why Creationist proposals are flawed and what would happen to our universe if some of their claims were true. www.youtube.com/user/potholer54 A Journalist based in Australia who has made excellent videos in his Made Easy series that cover topics such as Evolution, Cosmology and Abiogenesis. While not a scientist, he does possess research skills that have resulted in excellent video material which provides instruction and information to people who are willing to learn. http://www.youtube.com/user/ExtantDodo Their critical analysis series makes a point by point refutation of many of the popular Creationist Video Series and demonstrates hundreds of logical fallacies in each one as and when they occur. For those of you who keep insisting the universe had a beginning, this is specifically addressed in a Critical Analysis of Lee Strobels Case For A Creator. http://www.youtube.com/user/AronRa His series The Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism are insightful watching material that cover topics addressing various claims of Creationists fanatics and why their claims are wrong.$

$Creationist Name and Shame Series - smokeysport PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. Im citing Fair Use under US Copyright Act, Title 17 512 (g)(f), specifically those clauses covering Comment and Criticism, as well as the DMCA. http://www.aclunc.org/issues/technolo... Also Fair Dealing under UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 c.48, Part 1(Copyright) Section 79.4a http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts1988/... Censorship is NOT a valid argument. This is a video series that reveals Creationists for what they truly are; closed minded and completely incorrect. The sad and simple truth is that you cannot reach many of these Creationists with facts and evidence as they are too closed minded to accept it. In addition, many of them are so inured and hopelessly dependant on their belief system and have been convinced by their Evangelical ministers (or Rabbis or Imams) that they will fight dirty to protect their belief even if that belief is not under attack by science. The only recourse for these people is ridicule. Thunderf00t has his video series on why people laugh at Creationists and this is designed to complement that.

Each video in the series will address a single Creationist, their infractions, and the evidence that they have committed these infractions. Never again will a Creationist be able to make the claim that they havent taken anything out of context, because I will show them for the liars that they are. Never will they be able to make a claim that has been refuted, because I will point them to the countless sources, references, websites and videos that disprove their arguments. Never again will Creationists be able to sit there with a strawman representation of Evolution, such as assigning Cosmology, Physics, Gravity, Abiogenesis, Random Chance, Something from nothing or any other claim that has nothing to do with Evolution, because I will respond with proper scientific definitions and point out where theyre making claims that have no basis in reality. Never again will Creationists be able to shift the burden of proof, because each and every time they do, I will provide the Onus Probandi explanation and why the Burden of Proof rests with them to prove that their God exists, and never again will Creationists tell me Im being a hypocrite by insisting they have the burden of proof, because I will point out that Evolution has met and continues to meet the burden of proof on a daily basis as new discoveries are made. I will expose claims made based on hoaxes, I will point out the errors in their arguments, and I will, ultimately, name and shame these Creationists. This single-part episode deals with the creationist by the name of smokeysport, who seems to think making baseless accusations is OK. He is about to find out otherwise.
