Confronting Creationism: Episode 2 - Kens Ark paulchartley 2016-07-07 | KEN’S ARKIn the same week that NASA put a space probe in polar orbit around the planet Jupiter Ken Ham and the folks over at Answers in Genesis launched their latest monument to stupidity in Kentucky, a life size replica of the fabled Ark of Noah in a themed attraction called the Ark Encounter. However all is not as it appears.Ken claims to have built his ark to convince people that what is written in the bible is true however it is probably the best example available as to why it isn’t.For a start Ken’s Ark is not a boat. It’s a building that’s anchored to the bedrock below it. Ken is also not allowed to keep animals in his Ark for fear of killing them, which pretty much puts the myth tor rest right there however there are several other ways that Ken inadvertently demonstrated, using the repeatable and demonstrable science that he is always talking about, how the mythical tale of Noah and his ark as it is recounted in the Bible is impossible and the best part is that Ken and his followers were the ones who put in all the effort ad footed the bill.Join me as I go through how Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis have repeatedly demonstrated that the “creation science” they promote is useless nonsense as they’ve struggled to repeat the mythical engineering feats of a Bronze Age pensioner and his three sons, ending up with something that is nothing like what he set out to replicate despite having all of the advantages of modern twenty first century technologies and building techniques.
Confronting Creationism: Episode 1 paulchartley 2016-01-18 | THE MONEYarguing with creationists can be frustrating as they will often go around in circles presenting the same tired arguments and citing the same hand full of sources that seemingly have an answer for everything to support their positions. However, there are very strong and powerful arguments out there for which they have no comeback and this series seeks to present those arguments so that you can bitch-slap your opponents with them, right back to the Iron Age where they belong.It has often been said that the proof of an idea is often in its utility in that good ideas that are generally correct have uses where as bad ideas that are generally incorrect do not.To this end we take a closer look at the most financially successful creationist advocates in the United States and we examine how they use the “Creation Science” they promote and the results they obtain compared with other organisations that make use of the science that these creationist advocates categorically reject as being completely incorrect.I think that you already suspect the conclusions and that the outcome is going to be a bit one sided, but when faced with the evidence it’s quite hard to believe just how one sided it really is.Important NoteAll financial data presented in this production is obtained from widely published end of year results provided by the organisations involved themselves, or from documentation submitted to the IRS in order to claim a tax exemption which is made available for public scrutiny by the IRS as a condition of granting a 501c(3) tax exemption.

The Raspberry up Shit Creek paulchartley 2014-07-17 | A big thanks to KingCrocoduck for the shoutout. His channel can be found here.youtube.com/user/KingCrocoduck=== WARNING === This video contains DRAMA, or at the very least, is about to start some! Youtube user Richard Raspberry has recently made some extraordinary claims about fellow Youtube user Alex Botten. Very extraordinary claims indeed.He claims in the video below that Alex Botten purchased a domain name he used to own and then created a website that attacked him personally (http://joshiit.co.uk). He then said that he had it taken down and because of this Alex Botten made a false police report that Richard was involved at that time in a violent domestic dispute. He says that the police managed to track Alex down and they interviewed him because they get a lot of crime committed by atheists and so the interviewed Alex who broke down in tears and confessed to everything. He then claims that they let Alex off with a warning because he had a fragile mental state and he only did it because he was depressed but they still banned him from the internet without supervision.youtube.com/watch?v=1xYqz_0jsEA&list=UU_8nSeqgFpISNK8GaGgguHgYes I know, it sounds like bullshit and it is.Knowingly attempting to have a website removed from the internet under false pretences is against the law in the UK. It would be a breach of section 3 of the 1990 Computer Misuse Act, specifically subsections 1c and 2d as can be seen herehttp://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1990/18/section/3 This isn't the first time that Joshua Shelley has interfered with other people's websites. Back in 2011 he almost got thrown off Wikipedia when he decided to tamper with an article on Wikipedia to make it all about himself and his book as can be seen here.http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joshua_Shelley&oldid=457056465You can see the bollocking he got from the Wiki Admins by scrolling down to the bottom of the talk page of his user listing here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:JoshiejellieWriting a bad review of a book is neither against the law or libel or all the people who left a review of Joshua Shelley's book, Wasp on the Moon, on Amazon would be fucked.You can read those reviews for yourself here:http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wasp-Moon-Joshua-Shelley/dp/1446785629http://www.amazon.com/Wasp-Moon-Joshua-Shelley/dp/1446785629I also recommend that you try and make your way through the preview of the book without laughing. The description of the contents of the book on the back cover is priceless:"Richard Dawkins is a fabricator of lies today in 2011!Here are the facts you should be aware ofThese will completely Dis-proves Evolution.Never Before have such a well sourced collectionof information been presented in one bookFight the lies and stand by your faith.This is an argument for an intelligent Designer!" It may be however it isn't an argument that is being made by an intelligent author as can be evidenced by the fact that that author doesn't even get past the second word in the book without making a typographical error by capitalising and hyphenating the word "ongoing"You can visit the website that Richard Raspberry is complaining about and see how viciously it attacks him personally "with dildos and everything" here:http://www.joshiit.co.ukNOTEFor anyone about to file a privacy complaint, I refer to Richard Raspberry as "Mr Joshua Shelley" throughout this video because that is the name he has written on the front of his book and the dispute is about Mr Joshua Shelley accusing another person of using a website to make "personal" attacks on him when in fact the website reviewed and critiqued books and articles that Mr Shelley has written and published and that he previously promoted through a website that used that domain name. I specifically refer to him as Mr Joshua Shelley rather than just Joshua Shelley because in copies of emails that I have seen that Mr Joshua Sheley sent to the hosting company in order to have the site removed, he refers to himself as Dr Joshua Shelley and claims that he is being Libelled.
Who is Jason Burns? paulchartley 2014-05-19 | OK, I couldn't help myself. I'm a nasty, nasty, nasty man for taking one of Jason's videos and messing with it like this. Especially with this being the bit where he reveals his inner self. His secret identity. Jason's secret identity could really only be one person.
Noah Proving Bullshit Pays paulchartley 2014-03-27 | Recently and just in time to coincide with the release of Noah, the new big budget Hollywood spectacular from Paramount starting Russell Crowe, Ray comfort finally made his latest craptastic documentary available for free on Youtube.It comes as no surprise to anyone, least of all me, that apart from the focus of its subject matter it isn't really all that different from Ray's other de-educational coffee coasters but did anyone really expect it to be.Well you may remember that way back in February, and long before it was available for download, I did a "review" of it and just for a bit of fun made the claim that I would be able to correctly predict up to ten things about the new production without even seeing it. In this video we get to see just how well I did as well as finding out what Ray's ten signs of the end of the age are and if they are in fact recycled from Ray's old direct to VHS video from nearly two decades ago as I suspected.Unlike normal I really do encourage you to go watch Ray's new video. This isn't because I think that it's any good or because Ray has even a single convincing argument. It's because although it's supposed to be a video by Ray promoting Ray's ideas and points of view, he actually includes a rather hilarious sequence where he gets his arse handed to him by a geologist in a way that would usually require him to be holding a banana and let's not get onto the bit about the moon.Even the website is a catalogue of ineptitude.From the sample graphics that show silhouettes of dogs labelled as cats to the endorsements given by fellow Christians.My favourite on is by Janet Parshall on Moody Radio (no, I've no idea who she is either) who said:"I could not take my eyes away from the screen, and when it was over, I cried..." Yeah, I know how she feels. I did the same thing, but probably for completely different reasons.Ray's channel - Way of the Master is here:http://www.youtube.com/user/thewayofthemasterThe official website is here:http://www.noahthemovie.comRay's Noah video can be found here:youtube.com/watch?v=A7bPCYizcFMMy review of it from earlier on this year can be found here:youtube.com/watch?v=2HiZV5jPYaQA nice deconstruction of Ray's lunar ramblings by King Crocoduck can be found hereyoutube.com/watch?v=0-LDbc_ToioMusic"Without Me" by Eminem youtube.com/watch?v=YVkUvmDQ3HY(Which appears to be the reason why this video is blocked on mobile devices and iPads)It can be viewed on Dailymotion here:http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1kyedc_noah-proving-bullshit-paysCopyright NoticeUse of copyrighted material owned by Living Waters, among others, is protected by fair use provisions found in both US and UK copyright law that allows content to be used for review and commentary.

Noah: Signs of the Means to an End paulchartley 2014-02-12 | Later this year, in April, Paramount are all set to release their latest big budget extravaganza which is a biblical epic all about Noah with Russell Crowe staring in the title role. As it turns out, they aren't the only ones who will be doing this. Living Waters Publications will also be releasing a movie about Noah starring a bearded New Zealander but their film will be staring Ray Comfort which means that it's probably going to be shite.How shite? Who knows but that's not going to stop me from being the first to review it, even if that means I'm reviewing it BEFORE Ray has finished making it.That's correct, you read that right. This is a review of a film that hasn't been finished yet, let alone released to the public but stick with me.You see Ray's Noah movie is all about the ten end times signs and in his new movie he's promising to tell us what these ten signs are. Well if Ray can be a prophet, so can I, so in this video I not only set out what I believe to be ten entirely accurate predictions about Ray's new movie, I also refute the ten signs that Ray is going to talk about because as it turns out, I was lucky enough to receive a revelation about them from a very unexpected source.Am I just making all of this up or am I right on the money? I'll leave that to you to decide. Either way, we'll find out for sure in a few weeks when Ray finally releases his new movie.Links to content mentioned in this videoA very old, and surprisingly popular, Facebook post from an anonymous source:facebook.com/ChristIsComing777/posts/521191971228589A video about predictions made by Nostradamus that may be of more use to future viewers than the producers could have known:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT5fWk8wW-cA book about Nostradamus that I urge you to take a look at:http://www.amazon.com/Nostradamus-Attack-America-Amazing-Prophecies/dp/0882708821An online shop that's well worth a visit: http://store.livingwaters.comRay's websitehttp://www.noahthemovie.comWatch the movie's trailerhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIaafpN_69UMusic"Furious Angels"Rob DouganP.S. - If you want to know if the quote I used at the beginning is real or not then, it's worth watching right until the very end (17:40)------------------------------------------Copyright NoticeUse of copyrighted material owned by Living Waters, among others, is protected by fair use provisions found in both US and UK copyright law that allows content to be used for review and commentary.

Proving Creationist Stupidity with Maths paulchartley 2014-02-07 | Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce you to Richard Raspberry AKA Josh ShelleyAt one time Youtube used to be filled with Christians like him, you know, as dumb as a stump and completely unaware of his ineptitude. Eventually the Olympic level piss taking got too much for most of them and one by one they went elsewhere leaving us with the likes of Sye Ten and the Bible Cunting fucktard with their stupid presupositionalist word games. Well do not fear, Richard is here and despite the herculean undertaking involved, his ambition is to be the new Nephilimfree and nobody is going to stop him.Watch him fumble his way through some REALLY basic maths.The calculation he is having problems with is all but 2.5 x 2 which just about any seven year old can tell you is 5. Lets see how Josh gets on.The clips were taken from this video which is so full of fail you would think that Josh is a parody. Sadly, I don't think he is.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11mUm8AZpVEUsage of all clips is covered under the "fair use" provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act which allows usage of content for the purpose of criticism, reporting and parody.Another thing worthy of note is that Richard appears to be quite a talented artist and in the bonus section, the picture he is commenting on was drawn by him. Yes, let that sink in.When Richard makes a comment about one of the figures looking like a handicapped person carrying a table leg and another being drawn as an obvious racial stereotype carrying a chicken leg on a stick HE WAS THE ONE WHO DREW THE BLOODY PICTURE!
The Reason for the Season paulchartley 2013-12-19 | Every year we have the same tired argument about the reason for the season and the meaning of Christmas.This year, thanks to Fox News, we found out that Santa and Jesus are both white guys and that they are historical figures. We also found out, thanks to the pope, that Jesus might just have a few choice words to say about just how commercialised Christmas has become.Unfortunately, nobody told Sarah Palin.Here's thanking you, my viewers, for all your support throughout the year, even the lunatic ones who kept insisting on telling me how they liked sex with dogs or that Ray Comfort's movie was any good or bothHave a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and remember, don't eat the yellow snow.
Written in the Stars paulchartley 2013-10-31 | Just a quick video about a science article I read earlier today that put a smile on my face.The next time religious folks tell you about how there is a nebula in the shape of the hand of God, you can see an image of Jesus on the cross up in space or the word Allah written on the surface of Mars, you can now tell them that the coolest object in the known universe happens to be a huge nebula in the shape of a big red letter Ahttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/30/coldest-place-universe-boomerang-nebula-earth_n_4175879.html
Evolution vs Ray - Reviewing Evolution vs God paulchartley 2013-07-21 | Earlier this month Ray Comfort released his latest "movie" to great fanfare about how it would shake the foundations of faith by demonstrating that the biological theory of evolution was in fact completely unfounded.There are adverts all over facebook and twitter as well as youtube pointing you to Ray's website where you can download a copy for the princely sum of $20, which Ray explains is to help cover the cost of production before he eventually uploads the whole movie to Youtube on August 7th so that you can watch it for free.Having seen the trailer for the "movie" I couldn't wait to sit down and watch it, just so that I could see if it was as bad as I was expecting it to be......and I wasn't disappointed.Well OK, lets be honest about this, I was. The movie is more like an infomercial given that its only 35 minutes long.Despite all the hype about Ray interviewing college professors, the bulk of the movie involves him interviewing people who are mostly identified as students, although I'm convinced that there are some random folks pulled off the street in there too. His line of questioning is just dumb and in attempting to shakes the viewers "faith" in evolution Rays asks people to name famous atheists and goes on to debunk an internet meme!Ray doesn't even attempt to make any sort of coherent argument against the theory of evolution so there isn't really anything to rebut. Essentially all he does is try to pounce on certain words to try and make his case that the theory of evolution is really a belief which is quite absurd.More notable is that fact that although he must have interviewed hundreds of people to make this, he doesn't even have enough footage to pad the thing out past 35 minutes and the extra time is made up with adverts for the creation museum and for Rays books.Then again, this video was not made with the intention of changing anyone's mind. It was made so it can be sold by the box load to fundamentalist christians who will then give it away for free to college students who will never watch it, and there's the rub. With this "movie" Ray is brazenly milking his fellow christians because he knows full well that there is not one thing in his movie that is going to change anyone's mind so in effect he's arming his fellow christian evangelists in their fight for Christ with wooden guns and rubber swords.If you cannot wait until August 7th to watch it for free, you can buy the "movie" as a download for $20 by visiting Rays website here:http://EvolutionVsGod.comTo be honest, its worth visiting the site just to read the reviews. It makes you wonder if the people who watched them saw the same "movie" that I saw.Ray's channel - Way of the Master is here:http://www.youtube.com/user/thewayofthemasterThe trailer for the movie can be found herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gv2xbXkAfsThe full "movie" can be found herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0u3-2CGOMQMusicEnter the Ninja (instrumental)Die Antwoordhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cegdR0GiJl4 (Warning - explicit lyrics)Copyright NoticeUse of copyrighted material owned by Living Waters, among others, is protected by fair use provisions found in both US and UK copyright law that allows content to be used for review and commentary.

A Reply to Ran Campbells Smartin Up paulchartley 2013-07-17 | In one of Ran Campbell's latest videos he shows us how he likes to digest information then and tells us just how much he values education and knowledge. I think you can guess where this is going.In a spectacular display of self ownage Ran decides to rip up and eat pages from a book about evolution all the while oblivious to the fact that the book was actually a creationist book that he was destroying.As soon as it was pointed out that he should have taken the time to read his book rather than eat it, he decided to delete the video, but this is the internet and the internet never forgets, especially if it's a video of somebody saying or doing something breathtakingly stupid, which is why the video can be found here.http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x120p35_smartin-up-ran-campbell_fun#.Uebn943bPngRan has since tried to explain that it was actually a reply to some guy who rips up bibles but strangely enough, despite Ran using pictures of several other youtubers in his video, he forgets to use a picture of, or even mention the name of, the person he is now saying the video was directed at.Go figure!
The Theory of Crevolution paulchartley 2013-03-17 | When listening to creationists argue against what they think is The Theory of Biological Evolution, it often becomes apparent that they're in fact arguing against something completely different,What they are arguing against is what I like to call, the Theory of Crevolution.Unlike the Theory of Biological Evolution which is simply an explanation of how gene frequencies within a breeding population change over time in response to conditions, The Theory of Crevolution is an extensive explanation of how everything came into existence with the express intention of eventually arriving at the development of modern humans, and in particular, white people.With the help of luminaries in their field such as Kent Hovind, Ian Juby, Kirk Cameron, Ray Comfort and a host of others, we chart the development of life through history from BEFORE the beginning of time and space, right up until the present day.Of course, being the creationist version of how evolution is supposed to work, it's all complete nonsense so there's no point leaving comments saying that rats didn't evolve into potatoes, that plants are sensitive to light and that Hitler was a Christian. The Theory of Crevolution is not a theory grounded in facts. It was assembled by carefully putting together all of the creationist strawmen that have arisen over the years and in doing so it demonstrates just how disjointed creationist thinking can be.No wonder many creationists think that a scientific theory is nothing more than a gut feeling or a wild guess.Music Charles Darwin's Evolution Song from the TV show "Horrible Histories"Courtesy of the BBCAvailable Here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pt2gHpqfZNA

Hank Greens Jesus Gets Nothing for Christmas paulchartley 2012-12-12 | It might be an old one, but it's still a good one and though it's almost two years old, which is an eternity on Youtube, it's likely that not everyone has heard it.So for your listening pleasure, updated with better visuals, here is Hank Green singing his Christmas classic "Jesus gets nothing for Christmas" from his album "This Machine PWNS N00bs" which is available for purchase here:http://www.dftba.com and on iTunes here:http://bit.ly/pwnsn00bsThe original video the soundtrack was taken from, along with the rest of the songs on the album, can be found on Hank's Youtube Channel here:http://www.youtube.com/user/dftbarecordsA very Merry Christmas/Hanukka/Hitchmas/ Festivus/Winterval/Kwanzaa/Winter Solstice/Pancha Ganapati/Soyal/Yalda/Saturnalia/Yule/Malkh/New Year/Hogmany/New Year Sales/Winter Holidays/Etc etc etc...(disregard all festivals that you find are not appropriate as they are just Mickey Mouse holidays anyway and not a serious and sacred occasion like your special holiday)
Literally Published paulchartley 2012-10-14 | You asked for it, well now its here.Why is the Lord obsessed with cows?Do Buffalo have wings?How strong was the herb that was good?You might not find the answers to these questions, but you will find answers to many others, including just what Abraham was prepared to do for his country, in an adaptation of Genesis like no other.Literally Genesis is a humorous adaptation of the Book of Genesis as found in the King James Version of the Bible, leaving in the original text, yet embellishing it with more popular modern day narratives and characters. It's blasphemous, sacrilegious, irreligious, irreverent, and occasionally profane. You might be outraged and even insulted and you might even want to burn something down. This version of Genesis is most definitely not for children, but then again, if you took the time to read it you would find that the original isn't either.This is the Book of Genesis as it was never intended to be interpreted, yet strangely enough, it's no less ridiculous than any other.Based upon the scripts used for the video series, the whole thing has been revised with additional material and extra added blasphemies and irreverence.It's this year's ideal Christmas gift for the atheist in your family or a perfect way of dropping a big hint to your devoutly religious family that you don't believe the same fairy stories that they do.Get your copy today.Softback version:http://www.lulu.com/shop/paul-c-hartley/literally-genesis/paperback/product-20447825.htmlHardback version:http://www.lulu.com/shop/paul-hartley/literally-genesis/hardcover/product-20447969.htmleBook (ePub) version: (NOTE - Not compatible with Kindle)http://www.lulu.com/shop/paul-hartley/literally-genesis/ebook/product-20450992.htmleBook (PDF) version:http://www.lulu.com/shop/paul-c-hartley/literally-genesis/ebook/product-20450985.htmlSpecial discounts are available for church groups wishing to purchase 250 copies or more for use in book burnings (here's looking at you Terry Jones and the Dove Outreach Centre)
Literally Genesis 50 paulchartley 2012-09-29 | Welcome to part fifty, the final part in this series of videos in which I take the advice of all of those Christian fundamentalists and read my bible - literallyYou see if you are going to believe in the literal "truth" of the bible and take it literally then literally is the only way that you can read it.In this episode Joseph goes back to Canaan to bury Jacob, his father, in the cave of the patriarchs, but like with everything in this narrative, he goes too far, literally.With him he takes just about everyone in Egypt and, if this narrative is to be believed, everything goes off without a hitch. Of course other accounts tell a different, if not rather amusing tale.He then returns back to Egypt and spends the rest of his days telling everyone how one day he will return back to Canaan as his father had prophesised.And then he died.And he was buried in EgyptMusic:"The Good Book"Written and Performed by Tim Minchinhttp://www.youtube.com/user/timminchin
Literally Genesis 49 paulchartley 2012-09-22 | Welcome to part forty nine in this series of videos in which I take the advice of all of those Christian fundamentalists and read my bible - literallyYou see if you are going to believe in the literal "truth" of the bible and take it literally then literally is the only way that you can read it.In this episode Jacob, knowing that the end is near, gathers his sons together and tells them the future.For some its good news and for others it isn't but no matter which, its accurate. Mainly because this part of the narrative was written a good time later and is actually a fanciful telling of how the tribes of Israel came to be descended directly from Jacob even if the people in them came from places much further afield.Finally he then makes his sons promise that they will take him back to Canaan and bury him with his wife in the cave of the patriarchs in Hebron.And then he dies.But at least one of his sons takes the news badly.Music:"The Good Book"Written and Performed by Tim Minchinhttp://www.youtube.com/user/timminchin
Literally Genesis 48 paulchartley 2012-09-15 | Welcome to part forty eight in this series of videos in which I take the advice of all of those Christian fundamentalists and read my bible - literallyYou see if you are going to believe in the literal "truth" of the bible and take it literally then literally is the only way that you can read it.In this episode Joseph takes his two sons to meet his father Jacob and his alternate personality Israel having heard that yet again, he is waiting patiently upon the quayside, going through the change in his pocket to see if he had enough money to pay the ferryman for a boat ride across the River StyxOf course when Jacob is involved, nothing is simple and after telling Joseph about how he wants to keep his children as his own, Joseph has to admonish him for the way he is touching him, which of course won't be the last time that a man of god gets into trouble for the way he lays his hands upon young boys.But everything turns out fine and then Jacob blesses Joseph and awards him an extra portion of his inheritance, probably because he wanted shut of it rather than to buy Joseph's silence.Music:"The Good Book"Written and Performed by Tim Minchinhttp://www.youtube.com/user/timminchin
Literally Genesis 47 paulchartley 2012-09-08 | Welcome to part forty seven in this series of videos in which I take the advice of all of those Christian fundamentalists and read my bible - literallyYou see if you are going to believe in the literal "truth" of the bible and take it literally then literally is the only way that you can read it.In this episode Joseph takes his folks to meet Pharaoh which on the whole goes down rather well even though, as we heard from the last episode, shepherds are an abomination to Egyptians and Joseph's family are all shepherds.But then the famine worsens and people start to ask Joseph for help.What happens next sounds like a GOP budget proposal and is probably where they got the idea.The twenty percent of the crop that Joseph had collected from the people and then stored away so that it would be available during the up and coming famine is not given back to the people but instead sold to them.As Joseph practically has a monopoly on his hands he can charge what he wants and over the course of a year this includes ALL of the money in the country.Now penniless the people are forced to give up their possessions and livestock to pay for food and finally their land and their freedom resulting in Pharaoh owning everything.He then gives them a hand out and tells them to rebuild but he makes it law that everyone now has to pay a flat 20% tax to Pharaoh from then on for him allowing them to farm his land.Talk about bringing a nation to its knees.

This is probably because he has had a great deal of fun sending them on a five hundred mile round trip and then scared the pants off themHe explains that he is the ruler of all Egypt and invites them to stay after they have sent for their father Jacob, or is that Israel.This news then reaches the Pharaoh who is the actual ruler of all Egypt and he also invites them to stay which is just as well or Joseph might have some explaining to do.As it is, its Josephs brothers who have the explaining to do when they finally get back home with carts and asses laden with goods with an invite for their father.An invite to come live in Egypt from his long dead son Joseph.

The man they dealt with last time refuses to deal with them unless they bring their younger brother with them.The big problem is that Israel won't let them take him.Yet after some discussion he relents and they go on their way and when they get there they are invited back to the man's house for lunch.Well if you have ever seen a movie about drug lords and mobsters you know that you are in a lot of trouble if the boss wants to see you and it just so happened that the last time they brought a shipment back from Egypt they also ended up bringing back the payment too.Considering that the last time they met him he accused them of being spies and took one of them hostage, how will their meeting with the head of the Egyptian corn syndicate go this time and will the gift they brought as a sweetener be enough, what will happen to young Benjamin and what will the lord have to say about it?Music:"The Good Book"Written and Performed by Tim Minchinhttp://www.youtube.com/user/timminchin

Regardless, why does all of this sound so strangely familiar in so many different ways?In any case, our hero suddenly finds himself running the country despite Anubis News viewers asking to see his import certificate and claiming that he is a Kenyan muslim.Music:"The Good Book"Written and Performed by Tim Minchinhttp://www.youtube.com/user/timminchin

Taxing Credibility paulchartley 2012-07-20 | It seems that Mitt Romney and his campaign team have forgotten one of the most basic rules of politics and the media:Nothing can be as bad as the shit that people can think up when you leave them to speculate.Despite calls from his own party and an unrelenting pounding by the opposition Mitt Romney still refuses to release any further tax returns other than the single year of returns he has provided so far.He has stated that he is not comfortable releasing any further details and his wife has gone on record in a recent TV interview saying that there isn't anything more that people need to know.That's like when a police officer manning the police barricades at a dramatic shootout or some god awful disaster says to onlookers "there's nothing to see here"It's not like Mitt Romney is campaigning for an important job like the President of the United States or something, oh hang on a minute he is!So far Mitt cannot seem to make up his mind exactly when he left Bain Capital and signed federal documents that claimed he had nothing to do with the company while at the same time filing other federal documents claiming that he owned 100% of the company and was its CEO.He personally owned shares in a company that was outsourcing jobs to china and as Governor he championed and signed into law a healthcare plan that is almost a carbon copy of the one President Obama passed that he now claims needs to be repealed for being un-AmericanIn the past he has been photographed at Planned Parenthood fundraisers and his wife even made a donation.His father was born in Mexico -- technically all but making him a Mexican -- because his family fled their to escape prosecution because as Mormons they practiced polygamy which is an apparently acceptable redefinition of marriage that absolutely does not involve a marriage between one man and one womanIn addition he calls his opponent un-American while he is stashing his fortune overseas in foreign banks and tax havens and none profit trusts to avoid paying tax, all the while donating a sizable multi-million dollar fortune every year to the Mormon church -- which no doubt gets written off against tax and so effectively acts as state funding of a religious organisation which is about as unconstitutional as it gets.And these are just the things we know he has done.What is he hiding by not releasing tax return information for additional years?John McCain knows because he saw them when he vetted Romney as his running mate and he eventually picked Sarah PalinThat's right, a governor in the middle of a corruption scandal who couldn't make her mind up whether she was for or against building a bridge in her home town who's idea of foreign policy experience was being able to see places from her house was a better pick for vice president than Romney! So whatever is in those tax returns MUST be really bad!I hope Mitt is wearing his magic underpants because he is going to need them because Mitt seems to be forgetting the golden rule of the internetPics or it didn't happen!It's just a matter of time before someone at the IRS sends an anonymous email with a very big attachment to Julian Assange and Romney's tax returns go viral.So before that happens feel free to speculate upon what horrors Mitt is trying to keep secret.The more outrageous the better because the truth is often more unbelievable than fiction.Of course if this did bring an end to his campaign and he decided to drop out or he was ousted by his party, the delegates at the Republican National Convention would be left with the second place man and the only other candidate who actually qualifies as a potential nominee in that he won five or more of the primaries and that man ISN'T Ron Paul...Its RICK SANTORUM.It wouldn't be an election in November, it would be a crucifixion!

Years later he decides he wants to be a grandfather and that's where the trouble starts.He gets his son a wife only for the lord to strike him dead so like a hand me down jumper she is passed onto the next son who likes a bit of bukaki. Unfortunately the lord doesn't and strikes him dead too so Judah decides to play it safe and pack his daughter in law off back to her mothers with the promise that she can complete the set when his youngest son is old enoughUnfortunately things don't work out that way and poor old Judah gets stung in a honey trap.He then finds out that his daughter in law is pregnant so being the kind and compassionate man that he is he calls for her to be brought out into the street so that she could have an abortion be being set on fire but there's a twist to the tale because she has a secret to tell and chances are, Judah wasn't going to like itMusic:"The Good Book"Written and Performed by Tim Minchinhttp://www.youtube.com/user/timminchin

Naturally there are casualties along the way and the occasional bit of sexual depravity Then he pops round to visit his dad, who unfortunately like a few of the other characters, also gets written out of the story when the lord decides to trim the cast list before we embark on a new storyline after we have to contended with yet another one of those infamous biblical lists.

Indiana Juby and the Incredulous Creature paulchartley 2012-05-21 | After an absence of several weeks, Ian Juby's unintentionally hilarious weekly show, Genesis Week is back for a special editionIn this episode Ian interviews fellow traveling creationist creation museum curator Vance Nelson who by all accounts has a much better museum than Ian's, has several books out and by and large appears to be a lot more successful all round at what he does than Ian does.For example Vance has just come back from an expedition deep into the Amazon jungle in South America where he visited a secret location of which foreign travellers visiting the area back in the 1940s had told of their encounters with an unnamed tribe of Indians who had lived in the jungle for thousands of years and had encountered a mysterious creature that fitted the description of a dinosaur.And if you think that that sounds like a heap of festering horse shit, you're not alone.In the interview Vance talks about this expedition and shows us video footage of pictographs (cave paintings) which appear to depict people hunting a long necked dinosaur.He states that the age of the cave painting is confirmed because it looks weathered and the subject matter is verified because they also drew other pictures of more expected animals. The authenticity of the pictographs is undisputed because they also drew people worshipping the sun and besides, their local guide, who also just happened to be a scientist and an expert on cave paintings said they were authentic.As the two of them confirm each other's bias, Vance takes this finding to be a demonstration that evolution is wrong because according to him evolution states that creatures such as dinosaurs should be extinct. Ian on the other hand interprets this finding to be a demonstration that humans and dinosaurs lived together back in the Stone Age or as he puts it, the Garden of Eden.Of course, both of them are missing the point. There are an abundance of species alive today that have remained largely unchanged since the age of the dinosaurs millions of years ago. Among many others, crocodiles and sharks were both around during the cretaceous period when sauropod dinosaurs roamed the earth so Vance's claims don't really hold true just like his reasoning for why Indians couldn't possibly have dug up fossil dinosaur bones without modern equipment or preservation techniques.It's interesting to note that Vance has a book out which is mentioned several times in the interview. Going by the preview on his website it looks like a coffee table book, full of nice big colourful pictures and not a lot else but at around $40 a throw, they don't sell themselves so I am guessing that the publicity won't do any harm. Personally, I think that it's a hoax because the details are just too vague and besides, if it was real why hasn't it been published in a serious publication? Googling Vance Nelson and the word dinosaur brings back links to Christian web sites and his own but nothing in science, nature popular science or new scientist. Just pages of fundie forums until you finally find an article from the Huffington post on page 4 and that isn't even an article about Vance and his discovery.

Indiana Juby and the Shadow of Doubt paulchartley 2012-02-09 | This week, or rather the week before last week, these things can take a bit of time to put together, especially when I have to actually read the publications that Ian is mischaracterising and twisting and then do the research to make sure I understand it correctly, Indiana Juby tells us all about a recent paper that was published about why people accept valid scientific theoryOf course he gets it all ass backwards and trumpets that it is proof that evolution is false because belief in it is just a matter of belief and not the mountains of scientific evidence and its spectacular predictive qualities.This then leads him on to talk about climate change and the National centre for science education bemoaning how they spend a fortune each year working to keep creationism out of the classroom. He then deceptively claims that evolution and climate change science is propped up because of the various legal battles that go on to prevent them being supplanted by mystic mumbo jumbo and denialism.The whole episode is like watching something out of George Orwell's 1984 where lies are truth and ignorance is knowledge.You will feel a tang of rage while watching it and that's good because when we stop getting angry when we see people who make a living out of stunting the education of children by telling them that bronze age mythology is true and that modern scientific understanding and the bleeding obvious is wrong because it disagrees with the brain farts of some scribe who lived long ago in a time before they knew how to smelt iron then we might as well switch off anything electric and look forward to the middle ages.I can never understand how people like Ian can think that mankind is so absolutely special to the point of being the most important species in the universe with the universe being made with mankind in mind, yet at the same time think that mankind's actions can be so inconsequential.That's like having your cake and eating itOf course if we are what we eat and the cake is a lie, then it explains a lot about Ian.
A Question for Agony Uncle Yuki paulchartley 2012-02-04 | Youtube user SoretaYuki has a mostly regular feature on his channel called Mondays with Agony Uncle Yuki where he asks fellow youtubers to send him video responses asking him questions.These questions can be about anything and some of his answers can be quite hilarious if not a little close to the bone at times.This is my question for Agony Uncle Yuki and I encourage you to go check out his channel and if you like it, maybe subscribe and even submit a question of your own.SoretaYuki's Channelhttp://www.youtube.com/user/soretayukiIn all seriousness I will probably get my wife a bouquet of flowers as the toasted sandwich maker I got her last year went down as well as the vacuum cleaner I got her the year before and for anyone thinking of getting their significant other a set of pans as a valentines day gift, don't.I still have the lumps on my head from Christmas.Needless to say, a kitchen knife set is a really bad idea.
Indiana Juby and the Multicellular Menace paulchartley 2012-01-31 | OK, so it's a week late but it got released eventuallyIn episode 4 of his show "Genesis Week" our friend Ian "Indiana" Juby took it upon himself to dissect a scientific paper on the evolution of multicellularity where a species of single celled yeast had been selectively bred to become multicellular.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw_IXONCwSIHaving since learned that you can post links to references in the info box rather than just show them on screen, Ian thankfully provides a link to the scientific paper for us to read it our selves: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2012/01/10/1115323109.full.pdf+htmlAs Ian is qualified as voice coach, when it comes to cutting edge science he has to rely on his mensa membership card which is obviously no bloody use what so ever. In this episode he makes a big fuss of the use of a centrifuge to settle the samples with a 100 x g burst for 10 seconds.Unfortunately though that sounds a lot, he has no idea just how much gravitational force that is and as he has not done the calculations to work out the RCF (relative centrifugal force) he makes the mistake of thinking that the centrifuge must have been running at turbo overdrive to subject the sample to 100 x gOf course it isn't, 100 x g is what Ian subjects his socks and Y fronts to when he puts them in the spin dryer at its slowest setting.In fact when a bench centrifuge can go up to 20,000 x g, 100 x g is hardly turning it up to 11, its barely taking it off stop with the unit running at 0.5 per cent full speed. Of course Ian fails to point all of this out and he goes on to mischaracterise the whole experiment in a way that suggests that he had difficulty finding the link at the bottom of the paper to the supplementary information page that detailed the full method used which can be found herehttp://www.pnas.org/content/suppl/2012/01/11/1115323109.DCSupplemental/pnas.201115323SI.pdf#nameddest=STXTIt is interesting to note that in the supplementary information showing the actual method used, they only use the centrifuge in two parts of the experiment. The first part where they see if the yeast will become multicellular and the second part where they check to see if the centrifuge has any impact on the process and compare it to cultures that have been left to settle naturally for varied lengths of time. When they are investigating the prevalence of multicellularity or cluster size against settling rates they do not use a centrifuge at all.
Ian Juby Jones and the stuff that came from nowhere (US Version) paulchartley 2012-01-19 | Ian Juby Jones and the stuff that comes from nowhere -- The slightly less copyright infringing version This is a re-upload and edited version of my response to Ian Juby's Genesis Week . The only difference being the music at the beginning.This is a response to Episode 3 of Ian Juby's Genesis Week where he scoffs at the idea of something coming into existence out of nothing by poking fun at Professor Laurence Krauss's book, a universe from nothing.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKk8EjICnN0Being good at number puzzles and word games and having a Mensa membership card gives him the perfect qualifications for debunking people with doctorates in physics and great luminaries of science such as Einstein and Hawking when it comes to gravitational theory, after all who would know more about how objects behave when in the vicinity of a large dense mass.So I explain to him in simplistic terms, what Professor Krauss was talking about in his book and how it isn't as fantastical as he makes it out to be and I point out some of the things that would not be possible without the science he is trying to debunk.And yes I know that I make some sweeping generalisations but remember I am trying to explain this to someone who thinks that gravity is just another theory.
Goodbye Onision paulchartley 2012-01-14 | Following his latest series of videos on the subject of the never ending drama that is Onision, this is my reply.We had his girlfriend's memory loss incident where he stressed to his viewers the importance of not seeking medical attention for serious neurological problems, we had his girlfriends mental breakdown where it was ok to defame people who are undergoing psychiatric treatment, there was the pregnancy which never happened and then the entirely trivial sepsis incident where once again he stressed to his audience the importance of seeking urgent medical treatment for serious illnesses that can kill within 24 hours by waiting until the weekend when they fly to Canada to get it looked at.And now there is his latest drama, his breakup from the girl he was seeing on the rebound.We are expected to believe his side of the story when all we've seen from him for the last few months is one fake emergency or fake drama after another.Sorry Greg, but I for one think that you are a lying bastard and I am not the only one.You are a youtube partner and as such you are expected to be held to a higher standard.You make a living from the advertising on your videos but lately you videos have been about getting checked out for sexually transmitted diseases, about how people who have sex with more people than you consider to be acceptable are sluts, how you like you cock to be sucked and how sexual coercion is OK.After all she invited you back to her hotel so of course she wanted you to remove her clothes and give her one the first time you met her.This might all be acceptable if your videos were age restricted or they carried a disclaimer but they don't. In fact the majority of your viewers are between thirteen and seventeen which makes them minors in most cases and they only subscribe to you because they like seeing you dressed as a banana.Your channels are so family friendly. We watch you dance around dressed as fruit on one channel and then listen to you talk about how you got deep throated by someone you describe as a drunken slut you met off the internet in an airport hotel, on another."Mommy, why did the drunken slut off the internet suck off the banana man?"I for one would like to know why Youtube find it acceptable to pay money to someone who is effectively telling kids that if you have sex with someone that you meet of the internet it is your own fault if you feel bad about it afterwards because you are a slut and that he likes his cock sucked in a particular way.I know that saying think of the children is such a cliché but on this occasion, in most cases, his audience are literally classed as children under the law.I think enough is enough.I am calling on youtube to either revoke his partnership or age restrict all of his videos, unless they think that telling thirteen year olds how to suck cock is OKGreg, pack up your banana suit and fuck off, you're not welcome round here any more.In case you were wondering, the video of Onision getting his lights punched out can be found herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaMhBFpBKhY.
Literally Genesis 34 paulchartley 2012-01-08 | Welcome to part thirty four in this series of videos in which I take the advice of all of those Christian fundamentalists and read my bible - literallyYou see if you are going to believe in the literal "truth" of the bible and take it literally then literally is the only way that you can read it.In this episode Dinah, one of the daughters of Jacob, goes on a girls night out and meets Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite and gets defiled.Now of course, what defiled actually means is not specified and it doesn't say if she agreed to be defiled or not but one thing is for certain, Shechem wanted to marry her so that he could defile her for the rest of her life, so he asked his old man if he could have a word in Jacobs, shell like and get it sortedAnyhow, it turns out that Dinah's old man lives just outside town in a tent and it turns out that he's a fuckin pikey and the thing wi' pikeys is that they never tells the truth and they ends up agreeing to the wedding on the condition that Hamor buys Dinah's old lady a new caravan, and not only that, but Hamor, his son and all the men in the city 'as to cuts the end off their John Thomas.Being a bunch of mugs they goes and does it and a couple of them pikey lads that be sons o' that Jacob see themselves as being a Nemesis, namely a a righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an two 'orrible cunts who appear to have somehow activated "god mode" and though It might have previously occurred to the reader that the pikeys had taken the defilement of their sister rather lightly. For every action, there is a reaction. And a pikey reaction ... is quite a fucking thing to be hold Its almost as if they were under divine controlMusic:"The Good Book"Written and Performed by Tim Minchinhttp://www.youtube.com/user/timminchin
Literally Genesis 33 paulchartley 2012-01-01 | Happy New Year everybody...Welcome to part thirty three in this series of videos in which I take the advice of all of those Christian fundamentalists and read my bible - literallyYou see if you are going to believe in the literal "truth" of the bible and take it literally then literally is the only way that you can read it.In this episode Jacob finally makes it back to Canaan and is met at the border by his mortal enemy, his brother EsauOf course, there's a thin line between love and hate and events don't go quite as expected, it's not like the two of them are going to kiss or anything like that, this is Genesis after all.Jacob who should of course be known as Israel by now, but for some unknown reason isn't, then introduces Esau to the rest of the family and afterwards Esau invites everyone back to his place at Seir.Of course, with the family in tow, Jacob has to go at a much slower pace so he agrees to follow on behind and promptly goes somewhere else entirely and then somewhere different after that In later years scholars speculated that this may be because he didn't realy want to meet up with his brother and he absolutely din't get lost because he refused to ask for directions Music:"The Good Book"Written and Performed by Tim Minchinhttp://www.youtube.com/user/timminchin
The Logical Reply to an Illogical Response paulchartley 2011-12-08 | This video is a follow up to this video:"The Argument's Logical Jim but Not as We Know It"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEI2x_8C19UIn a turn of events that took only the intellectually challenged by surprise, Chad Elliott, the Atheist Killa didn't agree with the overall premise of my last video and he made a video response to me.He has posted his reply as a video response down below but if he has retracted it by the time you see it you can find it here:"THE QUESTION PAULCHARTLEY WONT ANSWER"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgTYJm1tcnAYou won't be shocked to find out that Chad denies that I have defeated his argument and he claims that I would not answer an important question which is:"HOW"" DOES SOMETHING ETERNAL, SPACELESS, IMMATERIAL, AND DOESNT EXIST ANYWHERE, CREATE OUR "PHYSICAL UNIVERSE?"Now my third option is that the universe came into existence all by itself without a cause or a creator so I fail to understand how I can show him where the cause is when I am saying that there isn't one. I contend that this is a complete and utter failure to comprehend basic English on his part and that contrary to his insistence that he has not asked me an unanswerable question, this question cannot be answered by me because it is a question about Chads proposed argument and not mine.He makes a whole fifteen minute video about how I will not tell him what caused a causeless universe which in my book is self ownage on a grand and epic scale.In this video I ask him to explain a couple of the more hilarious moments in his masterful moronic monologue and I clearly show that I have answered the question he says that I haven't in a logical, accurate and detailed way several times and I once again restate exactly what my proposed third option to his argument is and I challenge him to demonstrate that it does not defeat his argument.He has all of the information that he needs to do this without needing me to answer questions that are designed to trip me up so he can claim that I am proposing something that I am notAnd yes, he still insists in writing in block capitals
The Arguments Logical Jim but Not as We Know It paulchartley 2011-12-04 | Over the past couple of weeks I have been having a debate of sorts with a user called Chad Elliott who has proposed a logical argument that he says is completely undefeated His argument is that ... If you reject the logical notion of an eternal uncreated creator creating the universe then you must instead choose a proposal that is a variation of time and space being eternal or that something came into existence out of pure nothing and created the universe and that both of these two proposals are completely irrational and illogical and that this proves that all atheists are illogical and irrational Yes I know, I can think of a logical proposal that is neither of these two as well. I told him so and this sparked of our little email exchange. I wouldn't advise trying this yourself as chad is a bit of an imbecile, insisting that you outline and describe a cause when you tell him that there is no cause and asking you how things are created when you say there was no creator. He has some real problems with his own acronyms, describing STE to mean Space and Time are Eternal and that this includes ANY concept of space and time and that such a thing is illogical but at the same time putting forth a logical proposition that states that you have an eternal creator that created the universe which must exist in some concept of eternal space and time to actually be present and do things. I am guessing that Chad Elliott is a fantastic example of why we turn to theoretical physicists and mathematicians for an explanation of the origins or the universe and not meat-headed American football players who perform really bad rap songs. It goes without saying that I defeated his argument several times over and so he blocked me from leaving comments on his channel and sending him personal messages after I started copy/pasting the same set of answers back to the identical and repetitive set of questions he kept sending me. Finally, a message to Chad CONSTANTLY WRITING IN ALL CAPS MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE A TWAT
Church Tells HIV Patients To Stop Treatment paulchartley 2011-11-25 | From time to time people ask me why I'm so vocal about my beliefs, why I seem to spend so much time debunking bullshit religious claims. Well it is because of things like thisThese fuckers should be locked up and they should be sued into the poor house. This is happening in a first world nation where access to medical treatment is free at the point of delivery.I can only imagine what these thieves and conmen get away with in less well off and less industrialised countries.The lies that these people are telling people are killing them and their loved onesThese people should be charged with manslaughter The video shown is courtesy of Sky news in the UKThe article it is from can be found here:http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16117269A BBC news article from a few months ago about the same churchhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14406818The church's website is here:http://scoan.orgThe page with the claims to cure HIV are herehttp://scoan.org/media/healing
