VenomfangX conducted a video teaching his audience about something called "macrocodes" found hidden in the text of Genesis. These "macrocodes" as supposedly "prophecy" concerning the life, ministry, death and resurrection of the New Testament character, Jesus Christ. The "macrocodes" are believed to be evidence not only of Jesus as a historical figure and his importance as the savior of mankind, but also of God himself and the inerrancy of the Bible.

This video series will examine these so-called "macrocodes" to see if they have any validity, are actually something that can be discovered in the text, or if another apologist is just playing fast and loose with the scriptures.

Since opening my channel I've had more than one personal message from believers who state, in one form or another, that regardless of the material I post in my videos they are convinced God exists because they can "feel" him, or in some way have had a "personal encounter" with God. I've learned over the years that it is futile to try and have a rational discussion with such people. Such conversations are futile not because these people are lunatics or in some sense wired differently than the skeptic, but because what they've chosen to base their faith upon is not open to a rational discussion. You cannot convince someone their personal, biased "experience" of God didn't happen. They're convinced it did. This is not to say one shouldn't present the evidence for where these personal experiences likely had their origin: the brain. But because of the intense, personal nature of the experience, many people who have them will remain unmoved by the naturalistic explanation and, if they remain so, it is in the skeptic's best interest to simply wish such folks a good day and move along.

In this video I explore this issue of "feeling God" with advice to skeptics to realize there may come a time in discussions with such people that advancement of the conversation is going to be impossible.

William Lane Craig Video Interview:

Creationists often attack that which they don't understand. A misconception regarding vestigials and biological organisms causes one YouTube creationist to produce a video exposing his misunderstandings.

I had an encounter with another incredibly vapid creotard who sung the old song, "Give Me One Proof of Evolution." After explaining to her that there is no such thing as one proof of evolution but myriad proofs, all building on and converging on one another, she sang the refrain, "You Don't Have Any Proof Because There Is No Proof." I instructed this numbskull to get an education, starting with one of my all-time favorite books, "Your Inner Fish" by Neil Shubin. To that end, and to help other brain-dead creationists who deny evolution, I'm offering a mirrored copy of a UCtelevision video, "Finding Your Inner Fish" featuring Neil Shubin.

I know this is long, folks, but it's really worth your time to carve out an hour out of your day to watch. Then, if you haven't done so already, go to your local bookstore, library or favorite online bookseller and order Dr. Shubin's book, "Your Inner Fish." You'll be VERY glad you did!

From the Original Video Description: Dr. Neil Shubin, an Univeristy of Chicago Evolutionary Paleontologist explains how we all contain over 3.5 [b]illion years of history in every part of our human bodies. Learn how this fascinating history unfolded in this installment of the Darwin Evolves series from UCLA. Series: Darwin Evolving [10/2009] [Science] [Show ID: 16924]

First in a new "series" of videos in which I just "think out loud" regarding some topic of interest. Nothing deep. Nothing earth shattering. Just stuff that goes through my head largely when I'm drifting off to sleep.

In this episode: The power of the Resurrection.

Biblical creationists claim both that the Bible was authored by their omniscient, omnipotent deity, and that this divine creator authored the history of life on earth. We know from reading this author's written text that he often inspired anachronisms in his narratives. These anachronisms can be used to determine the author's style of writing. So, if anachronisms are a hallmark of one the deity's texts, why don't we find these same hallmarks in his other "text,": the fossil record?

Explaining Christianity to a sharp 6-year-old has never been more fun!

The Problem of Good. A video essay. Part 2. William Lane Craig believes he can solve the ancient, and most devastating attack on Christian theism: The Problem of Evil. Why would an all-powerful, all-good and all-loving god allow evil and suffering?

Bob Enyart has replied to my original video examining his interpretation of the firmament mentioned in Genesis 1. Here is my response.
