My favorite mudfossil video was when he said a cave was a fossilized vagina and the rock on the side of cave was a fossilized baby stuck in the wall of her vagina. Then he went on to talk about how he knows a womans anatomy and he made sure to teach his son about a womans anatomy.

Roger's ramblings are typical creationist nonsense. He doesn't make sense because making sense isn't remotely the point. He's just saying things that make willfully ignorant people feel good about their ignorance. You are unlikely to ever convince him or any of his followers that anything he says is wrong. If you somehow do, they'll drop it like he never said it and move on to some other nonsense without missing a beat. If you're having fun mocking him then keep at it, but don't expect to change anybody's mind in any meaningful way.

That's an incredibly dangerous stand to take. Yes, we are absolutely talking about extremists here. But that's no reason not to fight them wherever and however we can! Especially if we can do it with actual science like it was brilliantly done in this video. If conspiracy believers use a platform for their claims, we have to get there too and put the correct information out. And even if one in thousands consumes it and changes their mind afterwards - it's a win.
@jhuger 3 ай бұрын
So you reach 1,000 of his followers and one of them changes their mind, but in doing that you drive 1,000 new people to his videos. If 1% of those take him seriously, you've just increased his net following by 9 people. Engaging this kind of misinformation tends to just put in front of more people. A much better approach is to just post the science content and let the tiny percent of his followers with open minds find it (or have it pointed out to them by people they trust).

@@jhuger I seriously doubt that. I feel like the amount of people who listen to a professional debunk a crack head, and side with the incoherent crack head, would be more like 1 in a million, definitely not 9 in 1k, and definitely not more than those who’d be turned away In fact, let’s bring up “unbiased” people - learning about science by learning what isn’t possible is great. It gives people skepticism, teaches them not to trust anyone just because other people are, etc. Those same viewers very well could’ve been future believers of bad theories To think otherwise just seems very cynical and paranoid. Bad attention is only still attention to rich and famous entities who weren’t gonna fall anyways; when it comes to random nut cases like these guys, bad attention is absolutely bad for them
