This video is a great example of how a Young Earth Creationist can use a slick presentation to lie to their audience.

I don't expect anyone to watch this full video but you will find therein is Pastor Carl delivering some well rehearsed line which quote mines, cherry picks or otherwise seeks to make his point through dishonesty and then the host of the YouTube channel explaining with detail and peer reviewed sources exactly what mistakes and/or lies Carl is perpetrating.

[media=https://youtu.be/0fhgCfeHzLE]

One example that is repeated throughout the video:

Carl says early on that the Lucy specimen of A. afarensis was not found with hands or feet but that other members of her species were. True.
But then he keeps repeating how can scientists claim to know x,y,z about Lucy's hands and feet?! Gasp, dishonest scientists!

Anyway, if anyone likes watching YEC pseudo science get debunked then Dapper Dinosaur's channel is a good place to be.

I'll check it out later for a good laugh, i have a bachelor in anthropology so evolution of hominids (or great ape) is a subject I am well versed in , its always funny to see creationists venture in this topic.
@reflectingmonkey

Well this should be very frustrating for you then lol
Christian preachers have been conning people for centuries
@Ryderbike

Whether or not one believes in Christianity, the man is peddling pseudo-science and outright lies.
@Pikachu once again Christian preachers have been doing it for centuries .

Thank you.
I agree with your viewpoint.
But had enough with those examples of elaborated dishonesty.
@ElRengo

Yeah it can get a little frustrating after a while lol

@Pikachu A gentle way to say it...😊
@ElRengo

Speaking from experience, it takes practice to deal with so much bald-faced lying without blowing your top lol

The primitive ape looks more evolved and self-aware than he does.
@SW-User

Well probably more honest anyway lol

Many false prophets out there
@scrood

Well he's not a false prophet since he's not pretending to be speaking on god's behalf.
He's just dishonest about the evidence for human evolution and evolution in general.

Americans are stupid enough to believe this garbage.
@Fukfacewillie

Not exclusively but it is my impression that among developed nations, the US is a huge hotbed for anti-science, creationist ideology.
