Hearted Youtube comments on Professor Dave Explains (@ProfessorDaveExplains) channel.

  1. James Tour debate tactics: (1) Draw some chemistry mechanism on the blackboard that nobody asked for and doesn't explain anything (2) Point the chalk at Dave and scream at him to do something with it, whatever that is (3) When Dave shows recent scientific literature disproving you, just scream that he didn't do something with your blackboard diagram (4) Write "clueless" beside each of your pre-written topics like you were going to do anyway, no matter what Dave said (5) Did I forget screaming? Make sure to tack on the screaming. You're welcome!

  2. Hello, Prof. Dave, I just wanted to say that your inorganic chem videos have greatly helped me prepare for my competitive exams. Much love from India ❤

  3. When this video came out, I left a comment as a Christian who was thankful for the debunk. Almost a year later, I'm an atheist. This video was one very important resource of many on that long and painful journey where everything in that system of beliefs collapsed. Thank you for all you do, Dave - exposing pseudoscience and misinformation on all fronts, combatting preachers who make money by deceiving the masses, and helping to make the world a better (and more educated) place.

  4. I just want to say thank you for resisting the temptation to exclusively make your channel focused around debunking hacks like this and continue to pump out well-researched and timely science education videos which get 50x fewer video views. Your educator's ethos shines through.

  5. Jesus dude. It takes a lot of scrot to endure this kinda torture for science communication and literacy. I can't even get through more than a couple minutes of the debate without feeling my blood boil I have no idea how you managed it. But I'd like to thank you for doing so because somebody needs to.

  6. I was a flat earther before this video. No one ever broke it down like he did. Now even I can see the Earth is a globe
    971
  7. Thanks Dave, the work you do in challenging these theocratic Discovery Institute charlatans head on is much appreciated. It was especially ballsy to conduct this debate on Jame’s home turf to a room full of his faithful sycophants.
    924
  8. Thank you for you hard work shedding light on all these frauds. Just a small token of my appreciation.
    916
  9. Been waiting for this for years. Nobody called this guy out, as he is apparently litigous with any form of criticism Good on you Dave
    908
  10. All good points, Prof. Dave, but you failed to respond to "Dr." Tour's central claim from your debate, which was, and I quote: "AHHHHH! MR. FARINA!!! AHHHH!" Checkmate, Prof. Dave.
    905
  11. "hey im looking for a channel that can help me with linear algebra while also occasionally shitting on flat earthers" "i know just the guy"
    902
  12. I'm sitting at the University of Washington library and am watching Prof Dave. I look around and see three more computers doing the same. Thank you for saving our lives.
    901
  13. I commented on a post of yours and while ago and I was in a really bad place and you responded and at the time I was loosing my faith and I was looking for a fight. I just want to say i truly respect what you're doing and I want to thank you for putting all this scientific knowledge out in a easy to digest way to help everyone willing to listen
    897
  14. I tell everyone about this channel. I've gone through the basic chemistry and am going through the 165 math videos now. Its not for school.. I could never afford school. I'm 41 years old and you're giving me the ability to finally learn all the things I was denied by a pay wall. Thank you so much
    890
  15. this is 10 times better explained than in my math book
    858
  16. "So I was working at the bar, and came up with a fully functioning quantum superposition apparatus that would have solved all the world's energy needs... then this chick walks in. Knockers like the gargoyles on Notre Dame, if you know what I'm sayin'. Anyway, I popped a chub and POOF. The fully functioning, perfect blueprint in my head had vanished. Lost to the aether forever." -Chris Langan, probably.
    855
  17. Thanks Dave. I’m excited to demolish flat earth when I go to Antarctica in December.
    845
  18. Ah, young, innocent Dave. To think you once thought this was simply about the science. If only your younger self could see you now, wielding knowledge and logic like the sword of Damocles, protecting our little blue marble from the flat Earth menace.
    845
  19. Please god, do not stop making this content. So many people don't see the real damage of misinformation and science denial. It's society's greatest threat. I cannot express how much I appreciate you.
    837
  20. your titles make me giggle every time
    831
  21. Ive been following Ben and his videos for a few years now. Lately he's got me so spun up about the upcoming magnetic flip that i started to cruise amazon for things to prepare me for the "Big Event." After watching your video, i unsubscribed from his channel and subscribed to yours :). Thank you sir.
    825
  22. I know this video is pretty old and you'll probably never see this, but thank you! This helped me a lot you often can explain things better than my own professor. You're the best
    812
  23. Btw, @ProfessorDave, if you ever read this comment - just know that what you are doing with this debunking series is making a difference. I myself am quite the gullible individual and a thinker. Not a go-to research type of persons such as yourself. And you TAUGHT me to think and approach with some skepticism and I genuinely appreciate you for that. I only wish I stumbled upon your channel sooner. Thanks.
    807
  24. Thank you for helping me in high school, and now in Dental school.
    804
  25. I have my chemistry exam in 30 minutes and you just explained literally everything I need to know in ten minutes. Can you be my chem professor instead? 😭🙏🏽
    791
  26. It's obvious you put a lot of time and effort into this, Dave. I sincerely hope you never feel like any of this work you did was pointless or wasted. It most certainly was not. Just the fact that this work of yours will live on indefinitely on the internet is incredibly valuable to those of us who are susceptible to conmen, like James Tour. This type of content is the antidote to PT Barnum's "sucker born every minute".

  27. Career academic neuroscientist here from a medical school. Thanks, Dave. As usual, you have accurately called out her irrational and illogical gross overgeneralizing and the straw men responses of her science denier supporters. Keep up the great work. 🧠☀️
    779
  28. Please don't send these nut jobs to Mcmurdo Station. We have real jobs and real science to do.
    765
  29. Question 3: Dave: "Define the word "kind" as you use it." Kent: "Define the word "define" for me first so I have some time to get you off-topic again and so I can then find a loophole and swerve around stating something so that you think I really am crazy which I#m not because I'm making money off gullible people here. Can you rephrase the question?"
    760
  30. Dave you helped me all throughout high school, and now here you are helping me the night before my linear algebra exam while I'm in college studying for an aerospace engineering degree. You are the best !! :)
    757
  31. When I started following her, I thought it was really worth it. I can't believe she made this U turn. Really disappointed. Please continue debunking these surreal delusions.
    733
  32. If you don't have time to watch the whole video, here's the debate in a nutshell. Dave: Evolution is consistent beyond reasonable doubt. Kent: but muh book Dave: Ok, since the bible is your only evidence for creationism, let's talk about the bible. Kent: but thats not the point of the debate Dave: Polyploidy is an example of instant speciation. Kent: but no new information Dave: Do you know how meiosis works? Kent: why rabbit no have wing Dave: Every mutation is new information. Kent: proceeds to use bad analogy Dave: Explain your analogy. Kent: proceeds to not explain analogy Kent: strawberry taste terrible Dave: All strawberries are octoploid. Kent: but still strawberry Dave: You are a con man who lies to simple minded people. Kent: dog dont produce non dog Kent: insert bad analogy about common design Dave: Cars are not biological organisms. Dave: Do you know what a paternity test is? Kent: how protist become human Dave: No one says that. Kent: but the chart Dave: We're not getting anywhere with this, so let's talk about paternity tests. Kent: but protist cant become human Dave: Let's talk about fossils. Kent: you cant prove fossil had children Dave: That fossilized organism doesn't have to have reproduced. Kent: sure but you cant prove fossil had children Dave: Are you deaf? Kent: protist cant become human Kent: im trying to help you understand Dave: No, you're lying to people to make money. Kent: ad hominem alert Kent: 2 + 2 = 4 therefore evolution is a religion Dave: What? Let's just talk about fossils. Kent: ok lets talk about how protist cant become human Dave: Let's talk about how you keep repeating the same talking points over and over. Kent: lets talk about your ad hominem attacks Kent: why bacteria no have wing Dave: Bacteria are not multicellular organisms. Kent: hits spongebob with hammer why are you so dumb Kent: i taught biology for 15 years Dave: No, you lied to children in a church. Kent: im not lying you are Dave: Fossils are organized in a pretty particular way. Kent: you have been brainwashed (even though clearly im the one whos lying to people to make money) Kent: this coffee cup is designed therefore everything is designed Dave: Can you stop saying that? Kent: con man does what con man must to survive Dave: The rocks got rained on which produced organic molecules which organize themselves into what we call life. Kent: so you come from rock Dave: Actually, you believe that you came from dust. Kent: you dare use my own spell against me Dave: Craig Venter made synthetic life. Kent: haha see intelligent designer Dave: Sorry, that doesn't disprove abiogenesis at all. Kent: so youre saying craig is dumb Kent: wait he copied it into another cell Dave: Well, he made a new organism. Kent: but he didnt create life Dave: That's what life is, dingus. Kent: you cant observe abiogenesis Dave: Can you see atoms? Kent: can you see gravity? get rekt Dave: You just proved my point. Thanks for playing. Kent: fuck Kent: you want me to pay to brainwash people (even though im clearly the one brainwashing people) Dave: You're gonna pay for that? Kent: yes i pay every tax i owe (even though im clearly a convicted felon) Kent: whales swim in water therefore fish Dave: I swim in the water too, therefore I am a fish. Kent: what James: You guys are very good debaters, even though Kent is clearly the one dodging direct questions, but I wasn't paying attention so yeah. Kent: here is the theory of evolution proceeds to explain the big bang, earth formation and abiogenesis Dave: You have no idea what you're talking about. Kent: but protist cant become human Kent: you admit that you come from rock Dave: No, you did. Kent: but it rained on the rock therefore you are rock Dave: Your mother ate pizza while she was pregnant, therefore you are a pizza. Kent: strawman alert Dave: Not a strawman, dingus. Kent: i have studied science my whole life (i mean if i actually studied science i would know that evolution is true but i have to pretend i love science so gullible people fall for con men like me) and i know that dog dont produce non dog Dave: Why do I care what you say? You're not a biologist. You haven't provided any evidence for a designer. Your only evidence is "some book says a thing", if by "some book" you mean a book that contains slavery, incest, and rape, then yes, the bible is evidence of immorality. Try again, slick. Kent: but coffee cup Dave: There's no hope for you. Kent: hits spongebob with hammer stop being dumb Kent: majority opinion is wrong Dave: Science is not an "opinion". Try again. Kent: but dog dont produce non dog

  33. It says a lot when all the comments below are praising Dave for an easy understandable video. Perhaps it is time for our Department of Educations to start taking notes!
    717
  34. Don't worry about degrees bro. Legends don't need any such degree for reputation or value. They earn value through their legendary work. You are a legend bro. And your work is legendary(which you are doing in youtube). Many people are getting such degrees, but many people are not becoming Professor Dave. You are benefiting SO MANY students around the world(myself included) with your digi classes with your easy way of explaining things. You are spreading knowledge, spreading it in a simple and easy manner. And knowledge should be always spreaded like this.. simple and easy, for a proper world. Yes, the world is not yet proper with the educational system. Education is knowledge. And if knowledge is fun to learn, only then we can learn it. It cannot be learnt if it is presented boringly and scarily. So you are definitely doing good work for the world. That is what is most important. Just keep up your good work sir. Remember, your work is not just good, it is IMPORTANT. And i will try to donate you in future to help you more.
    715
  35. Professor Dave should have my professor's salary. My prof would not teach this to us and would say we should have known this already because it was taught in high school even though it was not.
    709
  36. The fact that you can keep this under 10 minutes and include everything is amazing. There's literally a 1 hour video on the exact same thing.
    705
  37. that was insanely well explained. you deserve every single subscriber.
    704
  38. Your videos were what initially inspired me years ago in elementary school to become an evolutionary biologist. Now I’m a senior-year high school student interning with the largest research college in my state. Thanks Professor Dave!
    695
  39. Gotta love how with quarantined schooling teachers have given up on teaching and recognized that people like you have been the ones actually teaching us.
    691
  40. In these 16 minutes I managed to understand what my science teacher couldn't teach me in 3 weeks tysm
    687
  41. Also, I was on a PA school board when the Dover Trial was going on. The ID people lobbied us HARD bringing in 10 boxes of materials--one for each school board director and the superintendent. Among the items was Behe's book. We politely told them to go to hell.
    682
  42. I wanna learn Calculus. But somewhere in Grade school I missed catching up Math. So Im gonna start here.
    677
  43. I lost my shit multiple times. Your wit is incredible. Thanks for the content Dave
    671
  44. When I graduate med school I will be making a hefty donation to this guy. He has saved my butt.
    650
  45. This paltry contribution is way overdue but I hope that despite the late arrival, this pittance helps you keep up with the great work you do 😁
    645
  46. Thanks for the comedy gold, Dave. When I see you smiling I know you're in for the kill, and you never disappoint hammering these clowns.
    642
  47. If my professor taught this clearly I could keep up with class
    642
  48. my uni's dean of science ('actual' chemistry professor) links your vids when he taught chem in my BSc. That's more important than a professor title in my opinion; you're very good at what you do Dave.
    640
  49. Dave's opening 8 minutes: high speed science presentation Kent's opening 8 minutes: rant from the crazy guy at the Golden Corral buffet on Sunday after church
    630
  50. You are wrong. You said none of his minions would even listen to your video…. I was one of them. Subscribed back in 2011 and I have been following since. WAS. All I can say is THANK YOU!! I was sucked into his bull like he says the sun is going to suck the life out of most of us. This video is over a year old and I would love to hear an update video from you in what has happened since then. My husband was a surgeon and a smart man. He was easily turned by Ben, which is sad because he went in a prepping spree… spent all of our retirement setting up our home and lives to survive the doomsday predictions then took his life. People like Ben can be very dangerous to even learned men and women. He talks so fast, and since none of us are physicists and can even follow what he is saying, we buy in. THANK YOU for slowing his speak down and explaining it. Sad… so very sad. You HAVE turned a minion away. I suspect I’m not the only one.
