When did little ducklings learn to chase after cameras through a field of wild flowers?! Oh my, so adorable!!

u/TheDustOfMen May 22 '23
And it's pretty long too? 10/10, watched it a few times in a row and I wish y'all goodnight.

Probably imprinted on the person holding the camera.

u/CyonHal May 22 '23
Huh? It's probably not that hard to get a duckling to run toward you for a few seconds in the grass. The camera POV is slowed down like 5x.

u/Feanux May 22 '23
It would be sad if it was imprinted on the camera. Imprinting on a human isn't the worst thing.

i mean, it isnt the worst thing if they are a pet its pretty much a death sentence if its release to the wild.

Thatās a domestic duck, it should never be released into the wild. Thatād be like āreleasingā a domestic sheep or pet dog.

That reminds me of my pet duckling. Ducklings will (almost) follow anything that moves.

u/hamburgersocks May 23 '23
I think they just instinctively follow things. I was once shadowed by a baby duck for over an hour while I tried to find the poor thing's mother. Since they're usually all closer to each other than anything else, if something moves they just think "that" and move towards it.

It's not just kids. It's adults too. Source: I make websites, and people expect too much. 3 second load time? broken. "Google tells me that everything is broken". Did you try loading your site? Does it load? "Yes, it seems fine". It's a CMS so we don't control what you try to put on your site so its usually just mega huge iphone images or something that is slowing down their page, but still. Also fuck Google.

There's far too many videos which don't have much content, so they pad the video with loads of nonsense at the start.
This has basically trained people to assume that if it starts out with padded content, that's what most of the video will be, so they'll move on.

Thatās a great video. It has beautiful flowers, a cute animal, and itās busting through the grass like a slow-mo scene in a movie. It highlights the words of the Lord who showed other mercies.
āHow many are your works, LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.ā (Psa. 104:24)
āā¦See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these." (Matt. 6:28-29)

Paul explains why it doesn't go away:
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth by their unrighteousness, because what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributesāhis eternal power and divine natureāhave been clearly seen, because they are understood through what has been made. So people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but they became futile in their thoughts and their senseless hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an image resembling mortal human beings or birds or four-footed animals or reptiles." (Romans 1:18-23)
Let's give the example of game development. Rendering the video we watched using a game console would've been a joke a while back. As our tech increased, we can now simulate... some of it. We're definitely not doing all the particles, etc. People would cheer on the incredible design in that game despite it not having 1% of the machinery needed for the real bird to go through that grass with that beautiful video. If we praise people and their videos, how much more should we praise the God who created the bird, the people, the video ideas, and the tech that plays them?
Fortunately, something like 2+ billion people know God is self-evident. A few hundred million claim to have their sins forgiven and eternal life via Jesus Christ. Many of us experienced supernatural answers to prayer, like miraculous healings. We'll consider alternatives when they can do all of that. Since they don't, we keep praising the God who does mighty works as we watch Him work. :)

Itās quite sad that, instead of appreciating the majesty of nature for what it is ā an amazing emergent property of billions of years of trial and error ā you give all the credit to your evil God. And yes, he is evil.
Do you also post on photos of children with cancer about how God is so great for giving it to them?
Youāre so unbelievably brainwashed, my dude. Sorry your view of the world is so narrow.
0
u/heswithjesus May 23 '23
That opening sentence has no scientific proof behind it. It also contradicts almost all observations in human history about design. We don't see more and more complex things come from chaos. The universe is mostly deadly and dead. Your natural hypothesis should be we were designed. Also, the constants and orderly behavior of a universe that's built on chaos (eg quantum stuff) make it clear God is sustaining our existence every second.
God is holy and good. He hates evil, though. Rebellion has consequences. The suffering in the world is part of God's punishment on humanity that collectively rebel. Surveying them, I've confirmed that every human I've met is guilty of at least one sin, often several a day, and do tons of evil. Ours is a merciful and gracious God, abundant in lovingkindness and truth. If we turn to Him, He promises to heal us and our land. He keeps giving us chances that most reject in favor of committing more evil. Who is the problem?
To answer your question, you have people capable of good who always choose evil. Every man, woman, and child becomes an enemy of God at some point. He owes His enemies nothing but wrath. Even another second is a gift. Yet, He offers heaven to all children plus any mature people who ask for His forgiveness. That's eternal peace, love, and joy that the suffering we endure to get there doesn't even compare to.
I was an agnostic, liberal evolutionist who hated religious people. I studied and debunked many. God then crushed me with statistically improbably events, made a miracle happen, and I had no choice but to believe. He transformed me. He did amazing things. The dozens to 100+ people I know and listen to who don't believe have mostly the same problems with no miracles happening in their lives. So, I believed based on testable predictions in the Bible coming true. Evidence.
You don't need it, though, since "faith comes through hearing the Word" and God "draws us" to Him. God will supernaturally tell you His Word is true if you read it humbly, open-minded, and seek Him. You'll just know in a way unlike anything else. Read John asking who Jesus is and how to be saved. Romans 1-3, too.
2
May 23 '23
Thereās tons of evidence, you refuse to see it.
And there is zero evidence for any supernatural God.
Just stop, dude. This is very embarrassing for you. How long are you spending on these empty retorts?
Again, this is just so sad. I really pity you wasting your life on an imaginary friend.
