(Last updated: 05/05/2012)
Note. This backup page is a few months out of date. To download the most updated list of links as a single web page, Click Here!View introduction:
If you argue with creationists—or you're a creationist who would like to understand why others are not—you need to understand at least the basics of:
- Science and critical thinking
- How cosmological and biological evolution work
- The problems with creationism and intelligent design
- What the Bible and other
religious scriptures actually contain
and/or - Why people become atheists
Below is a large collection of links to videos created by the YouTube community that will provide you with an excellent foundation for countering creationist claims. Browse through the sections using the links below, or use the find command to search for a specific keyword.
Sections:
- Understanding Science and Critical Thinking
- Evidence for Cosmological and Biological Evolution
- Debunking Creationism/Religion
- Arguments for Atheism
- Humor and Entertainment
- Non-Video Links
Channels Represented:
Note: Some videos would fit well into several sections—especially those which are part of a series—but each is only listed once.
Note: If anyone would like to suggest additions to (or even deletions from) this list, please email them to [email protected]. Qualifying videos should help educate people and prepare them to debate by explaining the evidence for evolution, clarifying how science works, showing the problems with religious belief, addressing creationist claims, and/or sharing perspectives on becoming an atheist (this is why some otherwise excellent videos are not included in this list. See the above outline of sections to see the appropriate categories). The suggested videos should be clear, concise, powerful, entertaining, thought-provoking and factual. They should not be just meandering, "talking head" VLOGS or insulting rants at specific YouTubers (unless they really address broader issues that fulfill the intent of this list...or are just too damn good not to include!) Ideally, suggestions for the Humor and Entertainment section should educate as well as amuse.
