Opinion of Aron Ra?

[James Monroe]

A vocal critic of theism and creationism and an advocate for the inclusion of evolution in science curricula, Ra produces YouTube videos on the topics of skepticism, free thought, and atheism. Among the video series he has released are Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism,  Refuting the Irrefutable Proof of God, and How Aron Ra Disproves Noah's Flood.

He has engaged in live debates with young Earth creationists, including Ray Comfort, and presented at skepticism conferences in Europe.  As a member of the Unholy Trinity, he toured the United States and Australia with fellow atheist activists Seth Andrews of The Thinking Atheist and Matt Dillahunty of The Atheist Experience.

He appeared in the documentary films My Week in Atheism, directed by John Christy, and Batman & Jesus, directed by Jozef K. Richards.  He published his first book, Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism, in 2016.

Ra is the creator of the Phylogeny Explorer Project  a free, volunteer run, online encyclopedia of the entire phylogenetic tree of life that is currently in progress.

Anyone on this portion of the forum a fan of Aron Ra? He really grits his tongue against those creationists, which I found appealing as we need to foster the case for reason against ignorance in our scientific times. Not that it takes much brain energy to win against creationism because it is already discredited by anyone who understands the natural world would not fall into foolish nonsense unless they're a crazy religious nut job. For the advocacy of science he's done a well-served duty to combat the fundamentalists in America. The man is preserving freedom in a country that is stripping away that freedom from the Radical Right Wing.

One observation to make is Ra must've enter into mosh pits in the past. Man looks like he's going to hammer you into a gathering of 500 people.

Do you really not have anything better to do?

His advocacy for evolution is admirable and courageous in American culture. Since no one has referenced him on this forum I wanted to know regular Religion & Philosophy posters what they think of Aron Ra.

Would James Monroe's brain go full Blue Screen of Death if he were to be confronted with the fact that there are, in fact, religious people who believe in evolution? I'm one of them!

There are Christian denominations which accept the theory of evolution and have no problem with contemplating it with theological tenets. The issue mains likely with the biggest branches of Christianity in America, the Evangelical wing which has soughed in power to bring anti-intellectualism to public schools in the Southern portion of America. Our scientific knowledge is way below the standards of other countries, as most of the population believes in creationism and a small but outspoken lot thinks the Earth is flat. You can be a religious person who agrees with science, the problem is having fundamentalists accepting any scientific knowledge that goes contrary to their holy book.
