I need everyone's opinion of my videos
Offline Hey everyone, I need people's opinions on something. I started a YouTube channel as TheSkepticalApe and I want some feedback on my videos. I don't need you to protect my feelings, I want brutally honest feedback. So far my first video is an introduction of myself and me asking believers for evidence. The second is how I think the only thing the various religious books got right was that they "predicted" scoffers and nonbelievers (like that was hard). My next video is in the works and is about why I hate Pascal's Wager as the intellectual cop-out it is.
So please, I need feedback. What am I doing right or wrong. Any feedback will be very helpful. THANKS!

Well, they look fine to me. The only thing is if you could bump the sound a little bit. Some people have dicey speakers. I would rather have to turn the volume down that want to bring it up higher than a specific set of speakers can go.

gave you a sub
I tried, sorry.
I just can't follow someone talking an essay. Not a fault with your video. I have the same problem with every other video people have posted on this forum. If it isn't comedy - really good comedy - or more active, I can't stay focused.

Total crap i say
i joke its alright
oh i added you as a friend
I was just wondering if I was reasonably well spoken, explained my position clearly, or at least hopefully made sense.
Thank you! I'll work on the volume problems in the future.
No worry cj, I totally hear ya. Most of my friends don't like hearing me go on and on all the time (which I am unable to NOT do), so I though YouTube would be my only outlet. Also, it gives me the ability to vocally challenge the bullshit coming out of crazy people's mouths (another area in which I'm unable to NOT go).

Good idea with wearing fake beard and mustache, so people won't recognize you IRL
Well, I can understand that you've got questions. But tell me, have you ever been researching anything, or doing anything with evidence? And I don't mean digging in books. If you leave out books, papers and authorities, you have just your word as an evidence. Science has evidence, because it's freakin' specialized on it, has billions of dollars, hi-tech equipment and monopoly on renowned magazines and universities. This allows to get the evidence, or idea of it, from laboratory to people anywhere on Earth. And you want evidence from people who never in history gave shit about it. And I suspect you don't give shit too, because you sit and... read? And God is supposed to come knocking on your door? In your place I'd go to believers and let them pull their best magical tricks on me. Not safely from behind Youtube, but right there personally. Which is exactly what I did, by the way.
Nice job with reading that essay. I tried something like that recently and... well, it didn't go well. Apparently, reading, voice acting, and trying to figure out english pronounciation is too much to do at the same time. You don't have to worry about pronounciation, so your videos aren't that terrible. Of course it's glaring that you're new to this, but it's not bad for beginning.

Hey! I don't pick on you for your childishly bare face, do I? XD
It wouldn't be a disguise unless I shaved everything, then NO ONE I know would recognize me!
Again with this faulty line of reasoning. I can be shown evidence without having to be there every step of the way. If that wasn't the case, then no one could know anything. I haven't been in space, as it could all be some illusion, but I have evidence it exists from WHAT I'VE READ IN BOOKS AND SEEN ON FILM! I have never seen magma in real life, yet I know it is real from seeing footage and reading about it in books. I can be shown the data from the evidence of something, and I can then learn about it. If by evidence you mean only what you have directly observed, then you wouldn't know about anything on the atomic level, but we know atoms exist from the evidence gathered. Just because I wasn't there every time scientists have used electron microscopes to "see" atoms, it doesn't mean that I don't know if they exist. Do you need to go back in time to know your mother gave birth to you? You are only going by what people tell you, so by your reasoning, you shouldn't believe that she is you mother until you get "evidence" (go back in time and watch you own birth. Not even DNA is good enough evidence, since someone else had to put the genetic information into a medium we can read and understand and you were not the person to do it). I've always done as much research into things that I can and that involves gathering physical evidence for things when I can. But when I can't, I have to add up the evidence gathered by other people. Your argument against evidence fails again Luminon.
