Chemist John Morris Pendleton opens his videos with a simple credential, "Hello, I'm a scientist," and builds a case for a young Earth on the trust that title buys him. YouTuber Logicked takes that case apart piece by piece, running Pendleton's claims against the actual data on radiometric dating, geological strata, and the physical evidence he cites, and showing where the numbers get cherry-picked or the reasoning quietly breaks down. The film catches the mismatch between presentation and substance directly, an ill-fitting lab coat and confident delivery standing in for research that was never done. Rather than just refuting young-Earth creationism point by point, Logicked treats Pendleton as a case study in how authority gets manufactured on camera: a title, a calm voice, and viewers primed to defer to both. The video is one part of a multi-part breakdown; a second part exists on YouTube, and a third was removed by the platform in 2024. What's left focuses squarely on the mechanics of the claims themselves and the gap between sounding scientific and doing science.
