It doesn’t happen all that often, but every once in a while something like this shows up in my email inbox.
It’s kind of exciting! Someone watched this clip from A Life’s Work on YouTube–
[youtube]http://youtu.be/_EqU5EO5URY[/youtube]and thought enough about it to write a comment. I went to YouTube to read it.
Huh?
The only thing I can think of is the commenter is objecting to how old Jared Milarch says the Methuselah Tree is (close to 5,000 years old), and that perhaps this commenter believes the earth is less old than that. If not that, I haven’t a clue what else could be fake about the clip?
I respond to every positive comment and ignore most negative comments. But this comment has me flummoxed. Part of me wants to engage the commenter because I am curious, but another part of me says don’t ever start a conversation with someone who communicates in a monosyllable and doesn’t respect capitalization and punctuation.
What do you think I should do?

I say ignore it.
If you go to this person’s youtube page and check out other comments left by them, you’ll see you got a rather nice comment in comparison to this:
“If your church is not talking about the whore of Babylon, and the synagogue of Satan, your fellow church members will be a part of the great falling away, the great deception.”
Ummm…. okey dokey!

Wow! You’re right, I did get off easy. Yes, you’re absolutely right. Ignore him I shall.
YouTube, home of kooky commenters.

It’s either a young hoodlum starting trouble, or an old hoodlum starting trouble. Either way, I vote no to engaging him.
Here’s a funny clip from Colbert Report talking about youtube comments.

Thanks. I think I will heed your advice.
That’s a great clip. Stephen Colbert is a genius. I mean that.

God created the trees before he created man! And even the nuttiest creationist believes the world to be at least 6,000 years old. This number is based on assigning roughly the amount of years mentioned for each generation in the Old Testament from Adam and Eve, to Noah and his sons and so on until Malachi.
This guy’s just a troll. Or (gasp!) an uninformed creationist. Either way not worth engaging.
David Licata
Agreed! Not worth engaging.
Thanks for the numbers and how they’re calculated. I didn’t realize that.
