In this video, I'll explain how @crashcourse Philosophy ends up mistaking and misrepresenting St Anselm's Ontological Argument. Despite the fact that this is the most viewed video on St Anselm's Ontological Argument, it misunderstands the argument's resting on Platonic Metaphysics, which scholars like Charlesworth, Norman Malcom, and Richard Brecher all point out.
While it is fine to say you are not convinced, my issue is Crash Course Philosophy

![My Issue with Evolution...
In this video, I want to talk about my issue with Evolution. My issue is not with Darwinian natural selection or modern genetics, in fact I think these things have been empirically demonstrated. Rather my issue is the sufficiency of natural selection and modern genetic theory alone at describing life. This issue intersects with philosophy of science, religion, and more.
