😂 demanding God 😂

In my experience christians don't accept the whole consept of fallacy.

You can be a follower of Christ but not participate in organized religion.

This is really good

I pray you come to put your faith in Jesus

Thanks Matt, I wished you were a teacher in high school, you make these subjects so appealing

Is Matt grabbing a pair of imaginary breasts in the thumbnail?

Such a wonderful Patreon Project. 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍

Once the atheists and Christian’s figure out how we are all looking at this wrong it’s going to be a good day

It’s not a mystery it’s a myth story. It didn’t happen but it’s important. It’s been frozen in time so we don’t understand the language any more. It’s all about the cave my friend!

I disagree with you a lot. In fact, I think your worldview is really dumb and obviously false. But Andrew is the WORST and no one should take him seriously at all. He deserves no credibility and his views should marginalized because they're not Christian and he pretends they are.

Cyanid. I made a women incredulous when I presented a long list during a conversation about food and chemicals. She looked at the list and was appalled. Even more so when I said that all those items, including cyanid, was chemicals she would eat every time she ate a natural grown apple from her own apple tree.

In an early class for computer programming, mostly long forgotten, we were told about the one-to-many-many-to-one "issue". In database construction, I think it was(?). While I will not attempt to explain it, it does occationally happens that I reflect on that lesson when presented with statements. Does the "truth value" change when I consider this as an individual, and as a part of humanity.

Imma be that guy: You can get an odd number by adding two even numbers in base 3. 2+2=11.

You mean Mr EVIL ONE, who not mentioned in OT But hey EVIL YWH SAYING HE CREATES ALLL EVIL IS MENTIONED WHAT DING DONGS

“You’re going to have to treat me like Adam” damn. On that note, does the Bible mention exactly why God stopped talking to humans, or did he just slowly go silent?

Argument from ignorance Matt! Of course I'm perfect!

the first time I said to my deeply religious mother that was an argument from ignorance, she retorted, "I am not ignorant" At that moment I knew it was no use arguing fallacies with her and she did not understand what I meant.

In debate when you start losing an argument why you start behaving like b_a_s_t_a_r_d.

34:50 ironically this is the entire underlying plot of the show Supernatural 😂

Bumbling God was okay for you to say, but when Andrew said something against you.. you sent the host an sms to leave the show, and i could hear your voice shake as you stood up and talked to Andrew. Maybe some tea will calm you down, Matt. Or maybe you can try to debate more with respect, that way you won't be a target for some of us that are not scared of pushing back! Secular Humanism is a direct front against Christianity. You put out that Christians may join in on it, so i guess you speak of it as society as a whole. But Christians may not oppose other's to their belief? The wars with the Knight Templars and everything else is already done, why would you put that up, unless you talk about street-preachers that voice the words of the Bible to random people on the street, to me that is the only thing i can think of that you would mean by that. Preaching is a large part of Christianity, it is a policy for all good Christians to be able to do at some point.. at least for family and friends. Christianity could not and would not join you tho, Matt. God's laws are above human laws to a Christian, and you know that since you are a former Christian. All that these debates do is to preach to other people who are watching you.. lol You cannot debate God, Matt.. the devil tried already, you know the story. There is very little your science actually can prove.. by your standards humanity would devolve into scientific fiction of cavemen. Prove that Bigfoot exists.. many of you have tried and are still trying. Many of you believe bigfoot exists, but none of you have actual proof, yet you say he is there. I don't really know where i am going with this, i just like to write i guess.. UFO Roswell 1952 or something. So many sightings and video even.. do you believe in those, Matt? I believe they are all demons as a Christian.. But you can't do that as a scientist, you pretty much have to believe in little grey neighbours.

You got cooked by Andrew Wilson lol. Thanks for the laughs!

If only politicians had an understanding of logical fallacies and did their best to call them out.

Yea 1:52

I highly recommend “Logic: A Very Short Introduction.” It’s cheap to but and available for free on a lot of library partner apps like Hoopla.

If a theist wants to refute this they'd say that God says and does things that isn't what he actually wants because the act of saying and doing the wrong thing changes human behavior in such a way that he gets the desired outcome. Sending and then stopping the angel was the plan the whole time, but he couldn't simply say that was the plan or else the plan wouldn't work.

👍🌻

Love these, thanx Matt! 👍🏼🌊💙💙💙🌊🥰✌

Hey Matt, why is it a problem to not have any grounds for a truth claim? If I understood you correctly it would be a fallacy and I would have no good reason to believe the truth claim. Correct? Then help me out here, if there is no God and everything is matter and energy. Do we have any good reason to believe anything?

That sounds like a great idea Matt. I'd would be a breathe of fresh air to see two opposite sides come together respectfully. Hope you and the Mrs are well.

Matt, you are the same age as my parents. They are not even religious or marginal individuals. I respect your thirst for the truth, that is, I trust you more than my parents. I learned useful things from you that I need. Thank you.

Matt is the GOAT.

I went one step further and committed a fallacy fallacy fallacy ..... ?

👏👏👏

You can add categories for quantitative and probabilistic fallacies too, alongside logical fallacies. The McNamara fallacy is a good example of a quantitative fallacy. Using negation can be tricky. Matt Slick got taken to task for that, I seem to recall, when he tried to use not-God in his syllogism. The "alive or not alive" can get weighty, which leads into being specific about the meanings of terms you use in your arguments. We all get this a lot when we lay out what we mean by "atheist" only to be told by a believer something that uses a different definition. Thus, we also have to analyse arguments for the description for terms that they lay out, and engage with the argument on its own terms, even if we don't like it. This does mean there might be an equivocation or conflation further down the line where the proponent tries to switch between definitions without you noticing.

So it's ok to say I don't know? No shame no worries.

It is fascinating to me how someone so adept at philosophy and who demonstrates such a keen understanding of logical syllogisms and fallacies can continue to use something like the Gumball Analogy, which is riddled with problems, as I've explained at-length in a video on my channel. I suppose it just goes to show that we _all_ have our biases and cognitive blind spots.

I found very interesting book series for kids called "Fallacy detective" where key fallacies are presented in simplified way. Maybe this would be useful to someone.

Don't forget the worst fallacy which is asserting something had to come "before" the big bang. Time didn't exist until after the big bang, the question of what happened before it is invalid.

Knowing the label for certain arguments helped me with identifying it in my own mind when I heard or read claims. Circular reasoning, No True Scottsman, False Dichotomy, Moving the Goal Posts, Special Pleading, Ad Homiinem, Appeal to Authority/Tradition, etc. I wanted to excercise my critical thinking skills & learn to better spot bs when not familiar with a subject. Idk all the latin names or types of formal logical falacies, but knowing a handful of the main ones made me more attentive to the content of a claim regardless of how intellectually or authoritatively it was presented (big words, complex language, obscure references, etc) It's help me weed out pseudoscience & pseudohistory channels/content from my social media. And helped me better analyze my own beliefs & biases.

AFFIRMING THE CONSEQUENT Simple Examples Should Come First P1) If Jesus rose from the dead, then the tomb will be empty. P2) The tomb is empty. C) Therefore, Jesus rose from the dead? Yeah, no. There are countless reasons for why the tomb was empty. Structure Should Be Taught Second If A, then B B Therefore A

AFFIRMING THE CONSEQUENT Simple Examples Should Come First P1) If I drop the egg, then it will break. P2) The egg is broken. C) Therefore, I dropped it? No, there are many ways to break an egg. Structure Should Be Taught Second If A, then B B Therefore A

AFFIRMING THE CONSEQUENT Simple Examples Should Come First P1) If the power is off, then the light won’t come on. P2) The light won’t come on. C) Therefore, the power is off? Well, what if it’s just that the bulb is bad? Bzzzrk! Structure Should Be Taught Second If A, then B B Therefore A

I just ate takeout Chow Mein. Now I'm hungry. In nature, female praying mantises bite the heads off males just after mating.

Thank you for doing this for free.

I remember Matt recommended an intro to Logic book that may have been a college textbook. Does anyone know the title/author?

One thing I hate about watching your videos, the line, Forrests Videos, Jimmys Podcast (yes Jimmy got/Has a podcast) etc. is that youtube begins to give me recommendations for "the other side". And for some reason I thought, f... It, let us see what this is. And in the comments, so many people was saying that it was a God given miracle/Devine intervention, that saved Trump from the "schooters"... These people seriously believe, that God would use it's time, to save this orange Monkey, instead of saving good people. Like perhaps stop a r..eist, or a car driven by a drunk driver, who cares not about others, that is about to hit another car, where the people in that car, is a family. And then the family dies, but the drunk driver survives.... "But God works in mysterious ways" 🤦🏼 What is one to do, against such stupidity? I get why youtube is trying to give me more perspectives, and stop me from living in my own info bubble, but it scares me so much, that these people are out there, and they can Vote😬

Poor Mat Dillahunty, he ran away from spirituality, now he's super glued forever with ZUES, lol. He was never so busy in his brief taste of religious consciousness as now. ZEUS in the am & pm and day dreamin. lol. Wanted to run away from you, but now... stuck on you, ZEUS. lol

I love that christians were having so much sex with animals that God had to be like, "Hey, dont do that"

How do you explain a middleaged man what is and why we need to learn fallacies, if his reply will simply be "that's just socialist mind tricks"?
