Flat Earth Studios has to make payroll somehow.

The employees are the ones who never got a science or nature book from Santa...never went to a natural history or science museum...watched more public TV than reality TV

I wonder how many of those folks absolutely know it's bull and are 1. a-holes who enjoy making fools of people, or 2. a-holes who dishonest and don't care how they make their money...or both.

This poster gives my neighbouring province a bad name, just by using it in his or her handle. He or she also gives “firewood” a bad association, by posting trash like this. Too bad. :pcmala:

I highly doubt that one person is representative of 12 to 14 million people. For perspective of information validity, while people insist that we evolved, read my comment about below about top evolutionist Richard Dawkins' statements. Ive seen a mainstream news article about how the big bang didn't happen, and we've been taught to believe that there was no matter (no gas or fuel of any kind, or spark/ electricity), yet there was an explosion that created the universe. An explosion is an energy surge and things are destroyed by energy surges, not created...I don't believe anything was created when the regulator in an electrical system failed, when the Challenger blew up or when bombs fell on Nagasaki or Hiroshima.
 
What I've learned about researching is that you take in whats there and compare it to other information. It doesn't mean that I believe everything right away. Usually people attack the pperson presenting info and assume that they believe everything about it. Why can't it just be that there was a piece of information presented to you and it can just be simply considered? I'm sure that many opposing this stand behind science, but science is in question always, without drawing conclusions. And of course we have official institutions today claiming that gender and math are social constructs, which goes against chemistry, biology anatomy and math itself. Reminds me or George Orwell's warning that the future elite will tell us that 2+2 is whatever the hell we say it is on any given day. Truth is stranger than fiction.

All a distraction from the important point that the video you posted is horseshit.
 
Now I know how they determine the age of mountains. They just count the rings!

I went back and watched a little more of the video. The more you watch, the worse it gets. I "learned" that the giant trees weren't trees as we know them, but were "silicon trees." Once-living tissue cannot be mineralized (petrified), so these giants grew as siliceous rock. And hexagonal shapes are only made by living organisms like bees and snowflakes.

Finding some of the giant fallen silicon trees would be a firewood bonanza. They should be close to the stumps, right? Can't be too hard to spot a 20,000 ft long spar. I bet those silicon logs burn a long time. One tree might last all of Ontario for years.

If someone doesn't dismiss a load of crap like this or the flat earth, I feel bad for them. Life must be difficult lacking any meaningful grasp of science and critical thinking skills.

Ridiculous ideas deserve fervent ridicule. Well done!

Makes me sad that we're days into 2022, have access to much of the world's knowledge at our fingertips, and these types of ideas are still embraced by anyone who can write a complete sentence.

Give him a 'thumbs down' on YouTube.

It is a good way to fight this kind of nonsense.
 
And make sure to pause it or only let it run for a few seconds so it doesn't count as a view.

(given the post history of just spamming their videos here, I'd just ban the account on this forum if I had my way)
