My first attempt at a debunking video...

[ReptilianPeon]

I believe there need to be more people openly challenging this sort of rubbish so I thought I'd have a go, especially since Muhammadans don't get challenged nearly as often as Christians do so they essentially have a free rein. I'm not convinced dedicating over ten minutes of a video of just under three minutes is efficient, but in my defence it's my first try. These sorts of videos make me feel ashamed to be human and I am really upset that there are humans that think this personage on the chair is a genius.

I didn't want to put this in the Religion Section because I don't think it'd be appropriate and it's not the section to be asking for feedback in. I'll probably remake this video later on.

Crux of the video:
Can a Chimpanzee build a power station? Eh, what is this crap?

I will listen to this first part later but you have a lovely accent.

Nice video, good job You raise some interesting points. I'd never heard about a natural power station before!

That guy is such a moron. Learn some science for god's sake. Erm, for FSM's sake. You pick him apart well.

What I wonder is why humans need to build a power station. Why can't whatever amazing God provide us with the power we need? Instead we have to fuck over the planet?

Yeah, why can't this god provide humanity with the electricity we require? Clearly this god wants us all to choke on fossil fuels. "Natural nuclear fission reactors" has its own Wikipedia article I found out today. There are others like Oklo apparently but it's extremely rare, although maybe not as rare as intelligence in our universe. So maybe you could say this god has been providing us with power before we could use it? Uranium is rare and yet this god makes it go to waste?

While we're on the subject of Oklo, don't Chimpanzees live in The Gabon? They could have, in theory, taken advantage of the free power source. But why would they want to? I suppose they could use the warm water for a nice bathe but that's about it, not that I'd advise swimming in radioactive water.

I would like to do more videos but I worry about copyright. I did actually do a video before this one where I commented on 10 Facts (lies) You Never Heard About Muhammad's Religion, but I didn't feel happy with how it turned out. Something I ought to do is watermark my videos. Honestly, I don't think I'm a good orator.

There's the "fair usage" act where you can include other people's material, within certain rules, for the purposes of criticism or satire. I'm not up on the specifics, but it's definitely legal when done properly.

You did well for a first video It's all about practice and gaining confidence.

Wow good first video. Great work!!

And don't worry about the time ratio, most hour-long religious arguments can be condensed to "..because my book says so", and can be dismissed with a facepalm.

Ah, thanks. I know there is demand for this sort of thing but, amoungst other things, I hate the sound of my own voice so I had doubts. I want to make more, and I did build a LEGO set so I can poke fun at these people but I never finished making the first video. Everyone likes LEGO right? I obtained some facial hair for LEGO people and some suspicious looking faces and even got a webcam specially for the purpose.

Excellent for a first effort, wouldn't of thought its was your first effort if you didn't say it was if I'm honest.
