Logic demands that only one religion can be valid.
God acknowledges the presence of imaginary deities. The first commandment is:
Exodus 20: 3
You shall have no other gods before me.
All religions have differing accounts of the origin of the universe, the nature of God, and what he has or has not said. Therefore, the law of non-contradiction is all that is necessary to understand that only one of them can be true.
Furthermore, God knows he gave logical minds to mankind.
So, he does not spend any effort trying to disprove things that every man already knows are logically impossible.

This video is very topical for me because I'm in Normandy, near the closest point on the French mainland to Jersey. I can literally see Jersey from my bedroom window. The Norman dialects formerly spoken in Jersey and here in the Cotentin peninsula are (were) mutually intelligible, and the Norman regionalists regard the Jersey people as cousins. Many people here have the surname le Jerriais (= person from Jersey.

In the treaty of 1259, the islands were declared to be held by king of England as peer of France and Duke of Aquitaine. Then from 1360 to 1369, they were part of the domain of the British King as independent Lord of Aquitaine. The status had been ambiguous since then.
To this day, they are not technically part of the UK. They exist as possessions of the crown and are still organized as Bailiwicks.

Of course, they belong to the British!
Whether it's these islands, Gibraltar (Spain, the Falkland Islands (South America, St. Helena (Africa, The British Virgin Islands (Carribean, or even previously Hong Kong (China.
The British always got to have some small territory near every potential or current rival. It's like their trademark move.

The islands, belonging to the crown, have their own money. The Jersey-Pound and Guernsey-Pound. With 1 Jersey-P. = 1 Guernsey-P. = 1 Pound sterling. Jersey and Guernsey accept each overs money. However they are not accepted/recognized in the UK.
Before 1921 they even were bound to the french Franc and not like now to the Pound sterling.

Evolution was dismissed as a scientific possibility over 100 years ago.
When we developed powerful microscopes and began to discover the majestic complexity inside of living cells, showing beyond any reasonable doubt that there is no such thing as simple life.
Therefore, life started complex from the beginning.

I find that the Napoleonic Wars being the last time France & UK fought each other as shocking!
I know that they were more amiable after that, but I thought that there might have been some minor skirmish even since then. Only diplomatic ones it seems.

Great Britain and Normandy are coloured in a peculiar shade of red that causes an optical illusion that makes them wobble on the screen if you, for example, shake your phone, if you watch on a phone.

How do you get to hell?
Very simple: claim that you're innocent.
How do you get to heaven?
Very simple: Admit that you're not Innocent, you're guilty and ask for mercy.

What I find interesting is that, depending on how to qualify it, the UK _was_ invaded by Germany during WW2.
As they established a present on the islands after taking France.

France and England have a mutual love-hate/despise-admiration relationship. 1: 26 brief graphic reference to the hundred years war: Joan of Arc burning at the stake.

I love it when things just get forgotten about.
I'd love to see a video about the Isle of Man, since I don't really know what position it holds in the UK.

There are also the islands of Chausey, which is just south of Jersey. They actually do belong to France, and one island is inhabited with a few fishing villages

I mean, two or three micro islands aren't too bad to lose. It's definitely no reason to ruin France and Britain's friendship, eh? Awesome video, man!

The audacity of the English monarchy to still claim the throne of France up until 1801. But guess what? They got nothing and lost the 100 years war
