Dave Farina, a.k.a. “Professor Dave Explains,” has some excellent videos debunking the Flat Earth Theory. While he understands some science, he erroneously thinks he understands all science—without bothering to think about it or even question it. Like a typical atheist, Dave impales facts on his conviction of dogma and sacrifices logic, reason, common sense, and critical thinking on his altar of scientism. Richard Feynman has several words for people like Dave:
“Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.”
“Since then I never pay attention to anything by ‘experts.’ I calculate everything myself.”
“Don’t pay attention to ‘authorities,’ think for yourself.”
“Have no respect whatsoever for authority; forget who said it and instead look what he starts with, where he ends up, and ask yourself, ‘Is it reasonable?’”
“SCIENCE:
If you don’t make mistakes, you’re doing it wrong.
If you don’t correct those mistakes, you’re really doing it wrong.
If you can’t accept you’re mistaken, you’re not doing it at all.”“Modern education:
Creating people who are smart enough to accurately repeat what they are told and follow the orders.
And dumb enough to think this makes them smarter than everyone else.”“The real problem with the education system is that it tests memorization skills, not learning or intelligence.
The two major aspects that lack in modern education systems are education and system.”“The problem is not people being uneducated.
The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught.”“When your ‘education’ limits your imagination it’s called indoctrination. Those who cannot think for themselves are truly lost.
Education should be a rewarding experience which allows you to think, imagine, question, doubt and solve problems.”“Education isn’t about the ability to remember and repeat, in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything.
It is the ability to learn from experience, to think, solve problems, and use our knowledge to adapt to new situations.”“You cannot get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything.
You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking, and by experimenting.”“The goal of teaching should not be to help the students learn how to memorize and spit out information under academic pressure.
The purpose of teaching is to inspire the desire for learning in them and make them able to think, understand, and question.”“Never confuse education with intelligence. You can have a Ph.D. and still be an idiot.”
“When you are dead, you don’t know you are dead. It’s pain only for others.
It’s the same thing when you are stupid.”“Be careful when you follow the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.”
Science is empirical and objective. It is testable, observable, and repeatable. If you cannot do any of that, if it begins and ends at the hypothesis, then it is not science! Science is not consensus, and consensus is not science—consensus is invoked where the science is not strong; science is not peer review, and peer review is not science—that is academia. Neither consensus nor peer review has anything to do with legitimate science.
“In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.” ―Galileo Galilei
In the same vein that Dave challenged flat-Earthers, I challenged his perceptions. I issued him a number of questions regarding “Big Bang” and “Evolution” (that no scientist has been able to answer competently, coherently, logically, or honestly), as well as burdened him with a mountain of evidence that utterly obliterates his beliefs and the nonsense that he ignorantly spewed in his 1000th video, Everything You Need to Know (And Forget) About Vaccines.
The following articles consist of some of the information I burdened Dave with, challenging his misconceptions of truth and reality when it comes to medicine and so-called “vaccines”:
- The TRUTH About “Contagion”
- FACTS About Polio
- FACTS About Measles
- FACTS About the DPT “Vaccine”
- FACTS About Influenza/Common Cold
- FACTS About Smallpox
- FACTS About AIDS and “HIV”
- FACTS About “Viruses”
- FACTS About “Vaccines”
- FACTS About Autism
Here are the questions I posed to Dave concerning “Big Bang” and “Evolution”:
“...the observable universe could have evolved from an infinitesimal region. It's then tempting to go one step further and speculate that the entire universe evolved from literally nothing.” —Alan Guth, Scientific American (May, 1984), 128.
“In the realm of the universe, nothing really means nothing.” —Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, General Science (1989), 362.
“Most astronomers believe that about 15 to 20 billion years ago all the matter in the universe was concentrated into one very dense, very hot region that may have been much smaller than a period on this page. For some unknown reason, this region exploded.” —Prentice Hall, General Science (1992), 61.
Let us use our brains—our critical thinking faculties and common sense—and ask some serious penetrating questions, shall we?
- If all the dust and dirt in the universe came together and it formed a ball no bigger than a period on a page, what made it come together? Where did gravity come from?
- How did this ball no bigger than a period on a page start spinning? Where did the energy come from?
- As science teaches, when something falls off an object in motion, it continues spinning in the same direction until it encounters resistance. They explode outward. “Nothing means nothing,” remember? The further out they go, the further they are from each other. There is no resistance for them to encounter? How is it that we have planets and moons spinning backwards and travelling backwards?
- If all the dust and dirt in the universe came together and it formed a ball no bigger than a period on a page, how did Earth become so large? How do we have such large planets and moons? Especially given the fact that when this period-sized ball of dirt exploded, the pieces would be even smaller. It is rather difficult to accumulate more dust and dirt when all the dust and dirt in the universe was only enough to create a period-sized ball. Where did the excess dust and dirt magically come from?
- If Earth was a hot, molten ball, where did the heat come from? Where did enough heat come from to make it such? You are in the cold vacuum of space. Something the size of a period on a page, suddenly exploding and becoming even smaller, would cool off extremely fast in the cold vacuum of space.
- From this hot, molten ball, where did the water come from to cool it off? How did it manage to create its own hydrologic cycle? How did it manage to create its own atmosphere? How did it manage to create its own weather? How did it manage to create its own oxygen, hydrogen, etc.?
- Since only dust and dirt existed all those “billions” of years ago, from this hot, molten ball that somehow magically accumulated more dust and dirt, where did all our minerals and metals come from? Gold, silver, copper, bronze, etc.
- From this hot, molten ball, where did life, even a one-celled organism, magically come from? Remember, you have a hot, molten ball that somehow magically got rained on in order to cool it off. How did all animal and vegetable come into existence? Basic biology teaches that everything reproduces after its own kind. You can have loss of information, such as a child being born without an arm or a leg; you can have mutated information, such as a child being born with an extra arm or leg; but you cannot have added information, such as a child being born with wings. The information that every plant and animal has is unique to itself. It can lose information during reproduction; it can have mutated information during reproduction; but it will never add new information during reproduction. The reason one type of dog can breed with another type of dog and the result be a dog, or one type of horse can breed with another type of horse and the result be a horse, is because they are the same kind of animal with the same ancestor. Bananas and dogs did not come from the same place. Humans did not come from chimpanzees. If we were the same, we could mate with each other and produce offspring, which we cannot!
Ask any self-professed scientist these questions and their typical answer is, “I don’t know.” The “Big Bang” and “Evolution” both defy the Laws of Thermodynamics, as well as several other laws of the universe. This is the nonsense we were taught in public school. This is the nonsense being taught to your children in public school. There is not one ounce of “science” behind this nonsense. It is 100% belief! I repeat: Real science is empirical. It is testable, observable, and repeatable. If you cannot do any of that to it, if it begins and ends at a hypothesis, then it is not science! Period!
Atheists attempt to mock Christians for their beliefs, but, honestly, whose beliefs are more worthy to be mocked? Dirt is eternal; dirt created everything; animal, vegetable, and mineral evolved from . . . a rock! A rock magically created oxygen, hydrogen, etc. A rock magically created its own hydrologic cycle. A rock magically created animal, vegetable, and mineral. Hmm... Something wrong with this picture... Maybe having a functioning brain and understanding logic and common sense has skewed my understanding of reality.
While we are at it, here are some probing questions to show the utter ridiculousness of the theory of “Evolution”:
- When, where, why, and how did single-celled plants become multi-celled? (Where are the two- and three-celled intermediates?)
- When, where, why, and how did single-celled plants become multi-celled? (Where are the two- and three-celled intermediates?)
- When, where, why, and how did single-celled animals evolve?
- When, where, why, and how did fish change to amphibians?
- When, where, why, and how did amphibians change to reptiles?
- When, where, why, and how did reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!) How did the intermediate forms live?
- When, where, why, how, and from what did whales evolve?
- When, where, why, how, and from what did sea horses evolve?
- When, where, why, how, and from what bats evolve?
- When, where, why, how, and from what eyes evolve?
- When, where, why, how, and from what ears evolve?
- When, where, why, how, and from what hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc., evolve?
- Which evolved first (how, and how long, did it work without the others)?
- The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body’s resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)?
- The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce?
- The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs?
- DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts?
- The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose?
- The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants?
- The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones?
- The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system?
- The immune system or the need for it?
- How did photosynthesis evolve?
- How did flowering plants evolve, and from what?
As anyone with critical thinking faculties and common sense can see, the “Big Bang” theory and the theory of “Evolution” are complete nonsense. There is zero “science” involved here. There is speculation, imagination, pseudo-science, non-science, and nonsense, but zero legitimate science based on the scientific method.
Atheists and Evolutionists, I challenge you to,
- Give me an example of testable, observable, repeatable evidence of matter (dirt) creating DNA.
- Give me an example of testable, observable, repeatable evidence of life magically appearing from a hot molten rock being rained upon.
- Give me an example of testable, observable, repeatable evidence of one species (flamingo) transitioning into another species (elephant).
There is not one single transitional fossil in existence! Why? Evolution is not a fact. There is zero evidence to support Evolution. Atheists believe in Evolution by faith. Not by science. It takes more faith to believe in Evolution than it does to believe in God. Something has to be eternal. For the atheist, it is dirt; dirt created everything. For the Christian, it is God. Simple logic, common sense, and objective thought let you know which one of these is completely ludicrous.
I also challenged Dave on his false beliefs concerning gender and sex. Due to lack of critical thinking, he believes the two are separate things. I offered to provide him scans from various English dictionaries dating from the 1700s to at least 2010, showing that the two words are synonymous (a word Dave obviously does not understand), interchangeable with each other. I also offered to provide him the evidence showing that homosexuals know they are not born gay and that they have pursued the same agenda for the past 50 years to convince the public that they are and that they should be accepted as they are. Whether Dave wants to accept it or not, homosexuality and transgenderism are mental disorders and perverse behaviours.
The last thing I said to Dave after issuing my challenge was this:
If you wish to discuss anything I have shared with you, providing you can have a serious, mature, respectful, intelligent, rational, honest conversation, then I look forward to hearing from you. If you are merely going to engage in the typical Leftist tactics of denial, deflection, projection, censorship, “cancelling,” manipulation, smearing, gaslighting, jamming, framing, ad hominem, name calling, character assassination, and the use of fallacious arguments that have no basis in reality, then do not bother wasting either of our time.
When you see ad hominem attack, when you see someone going after the individual in order to circumvent what they are saying, in order to dodge and evade the issues (often by way of obfuscation, technicalities, ambiguous language, and equivocation), being unable to argue the main point and never providing a reasonable refutation or an intelligent counter-argument (merely presenting subjective opinions and irrational feelings), that is a person speaking by way of confession of intellectual bankruptcy.
Why did I say this? Because I am extremely familiar with people like Dave. They are a dime a dozen. This is their typical go-to behaviour and strategy when someone challenges their self-proclaimed intelligence. All “authorities,” “experts,” and “professors” (including "theologians" and "scholars") react this way because their fragile egos are easily threatened.
What did “Professor Dave Explains” do with my challenge? He blocked me! *LOL* Why? Because he knows he cannot answer my challenges, and he is not interested in the truth or conforming his beliefs with the facts. He would rather impale facts on his conviction of dogma and sacrifice logic, reason, common sense, and critical thinking on his altar of scientism.
Atheists like to think they are smarter than they actually are. They tend to think they are some sort of science guru without actually understanding what science is—especially Millennials and GenZ-ers. For the third time: Science is empirical and objective. It is testable, observable, and repeatable. If you cannot do any of that, if it begins and ends at the hypothesis, then it is not science! Science is not consensus, and consensus is not science; science is not peer review, and peer review is not science—that is academia. Neither consensus nor peer review has anything to do with legitimate science.
Dave’s 1000th video discusses a topic he has never bothered to research and educate himself on. If ignorance truly is bliss, by willfully choosing to ignore, deny, or reject the facts, atheists must be living in Paradise. Best of luck to them.
“What is science? People talk glibly about science; what is science? People coming out of University with a Master's Degree or a PhD, you take them into the field and they literally don’t believe anything unless it’s a peer-reviewed paper. It’s the only thing they accept. You say to them, ‘Let’s observe, let’s think, let’s discuss’; they don’t do it. ‘Is it in a peer-reviewed paper or not?’ That’s their view of science. I think it’s pathetic. Going into Universities as bright people, but coming out of them brain dead, not even knowing what science means. They think it means peer-reviewed papers, etc. No, that’s Academia, and if a paper’s peer-reviewed, it means everybody thought the same, therefore they approved it. An unintended consequence is that when new knowledge emerges, new scientific insights, they can never ever be peer-reviewed. So we’re blocking all new advances in science, that are big advances. If you look at the breakthroughs in science, almost always they don’t come from the center of that profession; they come from the fringe, people who see it differently. The finest candle makers in the world couldn’t even think of electric lights. They don’t come from within, they often come from outside the breaks. We’re going to kill ourselves because of stupidity.” —Allen Savory
