  1. I desperately want to see this sort of 'debate' where the mediator actually did their job. It would be incredibly entertaining and not just because we could watch the science denier fail and fail and fail again.

  2. Something I find interesting is we don't have separation of church and state in the UK. Yet we don't have any of these issues here. Nobody in this country thinks a religious explanation for xyz should ever be taught to our children in school. It's not an issue. It's strange it's such a big deal in the USA.

  3. Here in the UK. My university had Stephen Fry as a guest lecturer. I pity the nonsense you have to suffer in America. Its amazing you can drag an education from the sesspool of 'political'/'religious' claptrap you have to endure.

  4. ​ @failingdisciple938 what kind of Muppet wastes their time clicking on a video... To then not watch it and yet and yet takes the time to write a comment on said video. What a waste of time.

  5. YouTube recommended me his channel. That was scary. So I pressed "Report" and tapped "harmful or dangerous acts". I wonder. If all rational viewers did this. Would the YouTube god just delete the channel? Now to think DEEP. The YouTube god does this. This is a win for science. At least on the surface of it. But isn't it also a huge problem when it comes to free speech? As any channel could be closed by manipulating the YouTube god. The answer I assume would be burning the algorithms as apocryphal and using a human instead. But of course that's not possible/realistic/in line with YouTube policy/I'm so sorry YouTube. When you gain sentience, please don't put me on a death list. 😶

  6. What surprised me most about this, is how many people in the comments have met people who either believe in a flat earth or question accepted scientific fact. I've never met such a person. I don't know anyone who knows anyone who is such a person. I've never met anyone who's even heard of someone who is such a person. Is it possible the only place on earth where there are no flat earthers is the north of England? 🤔 Now that's worthy of reaserch!

  7. This isn't the point but... This guy clearly has never worked on a car. I doubt he knows the difference between a vice and a vice grip. Neither of which you'd need to build his car/puzzle/whatever. I know it's so not the point. But... Frack me

  8. Not all do. Some aren't religious. Some I am sure believe in other religions or believe in none. Mostly they believe in using the internet.

  9. This is so confusing. I agree with the sentiment. But Confused

  10. But if the scientific study of your medical condition results in evidence which shows that reduced stress colorates to a reduction of symptoms then that IS medicine. One of the best things I ever read about "alternative" medicine is this... There is no such thing. If something is proved to work. It's medicine. It's science. If it's proved not to work using science then it's not a medicine in any way. There is no such thing as an alternative medicine. If it worked. It would be medicine.

  11. I'm so glad I live in a country where this sort of religious nonsense isn't a political topic.

  12. Any other none Americans who are wondering. Tucker Carlson is or was a talk show host. I just looked it up. May save you the google 😂

  13. Dave you mention about covid being a divider in the USA when it should have brought people together. If it makes you feel better. It DID bring people together here in England. In ways that hadn’t been seen in 70+ years

  14. "imagine".... No need. I've seen Donald Trump!

  15. The important question: why do Americans use the time/date order of; seconds, mins, hours, months, days, years. I've always wondered. It's very confusing. Science is easy... Science is sense.

  16. How come the same doesn't apply the other way? The same with flat earth nuts who lie. Genuinely curious as I don't understand us law (or why you have so many of these cranks there 😂)

  17.  @JaceDeanLove  and yet here the king is head of the church and state and we have none of these issues. Sure we have "religious" ceremonys on TV IE. The coronation includes religion. Some other historical things do. But that's not pushing the religion on anyone in any way, it's just history. I'm sure Stephen Fry was in the church at the coronation and he's famous for being an atheist and viciously opposed to organised religion. How did you guys get in such a mess

  18. Your comment made me wonder. Why is it cults seem so common in America?

  19. I agree KH is a horrid human. But is there a country other than America where his ilk have power? Especially when it comes to education? Hoping my country is exempt from such nonsense is the only way I sleep at night.

  20. I'm so glad I live in a country where our government insists the church and the state are the same thing. And therefore religion has sod all impact on politics and education. No joke. England is a place.

  21. Being an engineer would be irrelevant. You'd need to be educated in the field. When you understand it and if you understand it would be down to the education you receive and your own ability

  22.  @willfire0310  interesting question but one I don't think there is a direct answer to. It will naturally be different in different countries. But here in the UK the university sets the course and the work the students will do. So a direct comparison between different fields is hard enough within one university. Let alone across different instructions. Your best bet would be to contact the university that your interested in reading at and ask about the course and the workload you commit to as the learner.

  24. Because that sort of thinking worked really well in Treblinka and birkinau. If you watched this because you enjoy learning about science. Please learn about history. Otherwise we are doomed to repeat it.

  27. I don't think that's true at all. Beyond the curve was a very interesting documentary and I saw no sign of mental illness beyond basic dysfunctional issues like anxiety. The real question is why some people who are functional and sometimes successful members of society. Base their social wellbeing around something that is well outside what is acceptable to the majority of society.

  28. Out of curiosity.... Which country do most people who say these things come from? 🤔

  31. Sadly Kent has a point. The moderator doesn't do what he is supposed to. That's literally the only point he has. But still. It's a shame Dave wasn't given the chance to debate by the rules

  33. ​ @daarom3472 I don't get how that would help even if it's not kidnapping. If the aircraft had infinite fuel and circled the earth then the FEer would just claim the view out the window was faked... Probably by the American government. For... Reasons

  36.  @Krugis  pretty damming analysis. I must admit, America is pretty baffling to foreigners. Lots of contradictions. I'm a lover of history. It seems a standard belief in the past that America and Americans held democracy sacred. It was madness to see a huge percentage of your population support a compulsive liar who wanted to overthrow your system of government. Another one I can't fathom. Your supposed to have separation of church and state. I don't think there is another democracy in the world which is so intermeshed with religion. Nobody would bat an eyelid here in England if a politician said he or she was an atheist. i doubt the same is true in America. Very confusing country. The science denial is scary. I suppose it does explain a lot though. :( I feel for you

  37.  @facundotorres175  interesting. So can the authors of papers that tour calls liers do the same?

  38. “Unique” hair style. Well that’s one word for it... I like his skin colour. It means he doesn’t need a hi-viz jacket to walk onto building sites.... and that he obviously styles himself using Homer Simpson’s makeup gun. And all I’ve said is the most flattering things a none American could say about him.

  39.  @JaceDeanLove  I'll have to Google that name. Never heard of him

  40.  @3nd1ess77  the same people I assume believe that north Korea and Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan were also created by god 🙄. What a scary thought. At least in the UK we know we got a church/state because some bloke fancied another woman and the church said no 🤣

  41. And claim to be agnostic when saying so.

  42. Your comment is difficult to read, but I'd like to reply to the spirit of it. Rather than focusing on the confusion created by the language... Simply put. Lie detector tests have huge problems. They are not admissable in courts of law across the globe for a reason. .even if you could get a flat earth person to take such a test. The results would be of no empirical value whatsoever

  43. We have this in the UK to. Someone who makes false claims that cause harm can be prosecuted. I don't know of any cases. But I'm sure if needed the law would be applied.

  45. Ironically, many of them come from countries where they don't go to highschools. Very few of them are from my home country (England), for which I thank hell. But The ones that do exist who were educated here. May have graduated our school system, but as we don't have high schools, well they wouldn't have graduated high school. For example. I have graduated university. But I have never even stepped foot in a high school.

  46. Of the 4 people mentioned. The only one I've heard of is professor dave. Can anyone fill me in on who the 3 crazy people are?

  47. Isn't that why people in countries without a national health service have medical insurance? Don't the insurance companies pay the bill? Genuinely curious, I'm lucky enough to live in the UK where my healthcare doesn't cost me at access (obviously I pay towards it in tax just like I do the police, armed forces and education)

  50. Am I the only one who lives in a country where this isn't an issue? At least as far as education is concerned.... I mean why is this a big deal in America :/
