You cannot ever prove anything with youtube. Because if you really think so, you can prove almost everything with youtube. Whatever you believe in you can find a suitable clip that proves that.
Skip youtube and use real scientific methods if you want really want to find the scientific truth. Or stick with religion and faith.

Whatever you think you can prove with youtube you can always prove the opposite, with the same method.
It's just childish that you really spew out all the youtube clips, as they have any significance.

Originally posted by RJHindsNo, these video's are political because they use science, pseudoscience actually, as a weapon in an agenda laden field where they don't care a whit about actual science but only use pseudoscience as a weapon in their vain attempt to convert people to a religious view with the express aim of getting votes and swaying the right wing republicans in congress to force creationism to be taught in school in science classes as if it were some kind of science worthy of sitting alongside evolution.
I believe I get it now. A political video is one that you disagree with because it conflicts with your political views.
If they ever succeeded in that they would go further in their effort to force religion on people, of that I am 100% sure.
That is politics not science.
My objection to that agenda goes WAY beyond mere objection.
Originally posted by sonhouseI don't see that there is any such political agenda in those videos. There is no mention of asking for your vote to elect right wing republicans to congress in order to force creationism to be taught in science classes along side evolution. However, I don't see why that would be such a bad thing, if we want our students to learn to think critically, rather than just receive a propaganda form of education.

Originally posted by FabianFnasAs you are probably aware, there is no requirement in U.S. public schools to read the Bible. Also, the percentage of students in private schools (where the Bible could possibly be used) is only about 10% and declining (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jack-jennings/proportion-of-us-students_b_2950948.html)
RJHinds actually explains very well why the educational results in USA is declining, and why USA is in great need of high educated immigrants. USA is turning into a new Iran full of fundamentalists, forcing students reading the bible before science.
Also, Religion is on the decline in the U.S. See:

Don't let the small sample size of U.S. theists on this board cloud your judgment about the U.S.
