“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” ― Albert Einstein

Selling a piece of toast for $28,000 is in fact a miracle. :p

Very interesting talk. Thanks for the upload, much appreciated.

i remember reading cognitive psychology which dealt with HADD and minimally counter-intuitive concept. This lecture filled the gaps between what i missed and forgot.

[@tarastarit]

Very well researched. Interesting talk.

Here is a possible reason why people don't want to tell others about their religious experience: it's like a magician's trick - if it gets explained, the experience is ruined.

[@katiekat4457]

I believe in miracles but NOT religious miracles.

At 22:30 he lost the plot. He is all over the place but never strings things together coherently. It's all stories and examples and bla.

How many times must man experience a wild idea become a hypothesis, then a theory, then an accepted law of science before we realize that literally nothing is impossible? Never say something is or is not a miracle. Be 100% open minded; truly open minded. It is possible that God created us. It is possible that God did not create us.

[@TheProdigalMeowMeowMeowReturns]

Brian, you don't really mean that LITERALLY nothing is impossible, right? That's hyperbole, right?

[@wahhmann123]

everything is a miracle if you believe in god, if you are a man of science you are constantly trying to quantify things you don't understand

[@AArrowAdsSeattle]

wahhmann123 yeah your right. Cuz god in a since is a miracle.

[@TheProdigalMeowMeowMeowReturns]

wahhmann123, there's no problem in being a man of science and also believing that theism is true. Zero contradiction or internal inconsistency.

[@juancarlosv5136]

​@@TheProdigalMeowMeowMeowReturns as far as we don't know everything, theism and science can coexist and equally the matrix and science

[@TheProdigalMeowMeowMeowReturns]

@@juancarlosv5136 Are you suggesting that the relationship between theism and science is akin to common experience vs the matrix???

[@juancarlosv5136]

@@TheProdigalMeowMeowMeowReturns While theology and theism may be popular supposed explanations for phenomena beyond the natural world (if something like that really exists), it's important to keep in mind that our understanding of the universe is still very limited. There may be other explanations that we haven't yet discovered or considered. I mean: sky is the limit

Atheist angels to the rescue..... Badabing. Hint: after one watches the magic poindexters put light and sound speeds on dimmer switches, and then watches and listens to sound and light reverse relative speeds, the “do you believe in miracles?” jocularity gets tiresome. I spend my days talking to ghosts and angels because they know more than the people in my presence. And the ones I talk to speak in structured sequence to whatever is going on. Part of what Carl Jung called “synchronicity”. The world is a giant interactive Macintosh. Get used to it. Or figure it out, then talk. A little refresher in Shinto might help.
