If revelation is a valid source of information then anyone can say anything and claim it is from a god (or The God, whatever that is) and no one can deny your claims. Get enough followers and poof, you have a religion. Mormons anyone? If the Abrahamic-god is so powerful, why couldn't it come up with a better method at making itself known? It simply doesn't exist. Can some god exist? Yes, I suppose so. But not this god. Statistically speaking it's not even on the radar. Why do so many people believe? Some ideas spread like wildfire and they get passed on. They become a part of the culture. Unfortunately this is what happened with the Abrahamic-god. It will take many centuries to rid ourselves of it, if ever.

"I must be uneducated." The first correct thing you've said. Calling all atheists stupid and then complaining about other being arrogant? I'm finding it hard to believe this is even an adult I'm talking to. You couldn't even state your own argument (Kalam) correctly. So what hope do you have of understanding anyone else's argument? :)

"Would you need science to tell you when it was wrong to kill someone?" It is such an obvious fact that killing is undesirable for those who want social cohesion, that you don't need to even do "science" to demonstrate the fact. You just need to know that killing is suffering, and humans don't like suffering by definition. I don't need more than that to call it wrong. I don't even feel the need to refer to that as a "moral" decision, it is a purely logical one.

"i can think of no reason to take them as an authority on the nature of abstraction" Abstract objects are studied by philosophers. Abstract structures are studied by mathematicians. Abstract perception is studied by neurologists. So your lack of ability to think of reasons why scientists and philosophers might have relevant opinions, seems to be a lack of education on your part.

Science is open minded, that's why religious views are having a hard time within scientific circles. If there were good and compelling evidence for those claims, scientists would jump on the rather quickly.

Ironically just watched a video talking about how scientists are normally experts in extremely narrow fields,and often arrogantly pontificate about areas way outside their field of expertise.Many have little knowledge outside their chosen field and are often philisophically very naive.The blind faith people put in anyone with a lab coat on is amazing.They have become a modern cultural priesthood.

[@AcceleratorPlus]

I have never heard of any of these “Renowned Academics”.. who are they? …And none of them come across as genuine critical thinkers.. I say this because the concept of God THEY are talking about.. is NOT the concept that can be found in the Bible.. The Bible teaches that God is INSIDE.. and man and God are one and the same.. so obviously.. it is NOT talking about some kind of supernatural entity . It teaches that God is a SPIRIT.. that either exists.. or does not exist.. in human hearts and minds…. the Spirit of Loving kindness, Righteousness, Justice, Peace, Wisdom, Truth and Freedom… So.. what has this got to do with stories of the supernatural.. that these somewhat delusional gentlemen are talking about ? The Bible stories were never intended to be read in any literal sense. The writers were poets.. intellectuals.. who used metaphor, allegory, symbolism and ambiguous meanings.. to attack the system of government.. organized religion.. and the courts of law.. which they jointly referred to as - THE DEVIL.. because they were all based on lies and deceit and were judged to be corrupted,, This becomes obvious when John writes in the NT: “The devil keeps throwing me into prison”. The Bible is a seditious book.. and the writers hated organized religion - See the opening passages of Isaiah.. for example.. or see - Isaiah 66:6 The problem is atheists.. listen to what the Christians are saying.. and believe them.. It never occurs to the atheists to study the Bible and check that what the Christians are telling them is actually true. The irony of atheism is it blindly believes what the Christians tell them.,, whereas.. if they were wise.. they would question everything. If anyone reads the Bible and asks - What does this mean? .. instead of taking the stories literally.. at face value.. they will discovered the book is consistently attacking government and organized religion.. AND they do a far better job of it than any atheist can. What passes as supernatural stories to the casual reader is.. in reality poetic symbolism… full of hidden meanings. CONCERNING THE PROVOCATION OF THE FOOLISH. “Understand you foolish ones, and mark the parable and the interpretation, the words of the wise and their mysterious sayings; for the wise have used diverse manners of speech in making comparison with everything that is upon the earth, and beneath the sphere of the moon they have multiplied parables in this science.” Thomas Aquinas - writing about people’s failure to understand the diverse language.. used in the Bible.

[@starfox1]

Just cos you may not have heard of them doesn't suggest that they aren't “Renowned Academics”. The first one in this video, Frank Wilczek, is a Nobel laureate in physics. Odd that you feel they aren't critical thinkers when their accomplishments prove otherwise. I'm curious what your academic achievements are that trumps theirs on such a level that your manner of critical thinking is superior. Would you be able to share with those reading this thread a link to a list of your academic achievements and possibly some of your doctoral students?

[@TheVirtualTourist]

starfox My school education never got any further than attending special needs classes.. I'm autistic.. and I struggle with social contacts. But why should my education make any difference.? Since you seem to believe it is so important.. maybe you could tell me what kind of eduction you have had.. and put me to shame..:-) Do you really believe the only way people can learn is by achieving something at school? Tell me.. Is it just ONE you have heard of..? What about the other 49..? Why do you mention only one.? Can you honestly say you have heard of ALL of them.. and are aware of all their achievements ? Frank W says: "The ancient texts don't do justice about what we know today about the universe." Since the ancient texts (I take it he means the Bible) are concerned with the human spirit.. not physics.. why should they? It is like saying The complete works of Shakespear don't do justice about what we know today about the universe." Of course they don't.. becuase they have nothing to do with physics.... so the statement is ridiculous.. and.. to me it seems to be evidence of a lack of critical thinking. Or how could you somehow justify his statement..? And what about all the great thinkers who don't share the atheist viewpoint.. ? Schroedinger, Bohm, Heisenserg, Pauli, Planck, Freeman Dyson, Eddington, Einstein, De Broglie, and Jeans... for example.. Albert is the most well known of all.... so does that mean.... by your standards.. that he knows best? "I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth." --- Albert Einstein

[@starfox1]

Very skeptical you're on the autism spectrum; Your writing skill suggests otherwise. Anyway, to your questions: "maybe you could tell me what kind of eduction you have had.. and put me to shame..:-)" I'm a PhD student in (particle) physics. I doubt someone with autism would feel much shame, specially if you supposedly struggle with socializing. "Do you really believe the only way people can learn is by achieving something at school??" Nope, but school is certainly a superb place to learn those critical thinking topics. (I should note I never said school is the ONLY place to learn. Not sure how you construed that from my reply) "But why should my education make any difference.?" - Let's clarify something now, my reply was directed to the OP, not you. You weren't even a factor in my prior comment. I brought up education becos the OP talks about academia and critical thinking. "Tell me.. Is it just ONE you have heard of..?" Nope, I'm quite familiar with many on the list. I only listed Frank Wilczek becos he was the first one in this video. "Can you honestly say you have heard of ALL of them.. and are aware of all their achievements ?" Yes, I can actually but not all of their achievements individually; There's no reason for me to know that. I have definitely heard of all of them and am quite familiar with the works of many of them, particularly the physicists. After this question your reply veers heavily into religion and belief/faith. I'm not going to debate that with you. You believe what you want. If you're in the US like me, then it's your right to believe anything you like. I may not agree but it's still your right. You then ask, "And what about all the great thinkers who don't share the atheist viewpoint.. ?" They can believe whatever they like as well. Imo, it doesn't negate their contributions to science. They left the religious stuff outside of the lab. As far as you quote mining Einstein, he labeled himself agnostic in that quote, so why do you use him to press the issue about god? You should also understand the context of what he's saying in that quote as well, becos in a sense you're doing precisely what he was taking issue with except you're crusading FOR religion.

[@glutinousmaximus]

AcceleratorPlus Some people just have this pride in ignorance. A sad indictment.

[@TheVirtualTourist]

Whether pride is behind their opinions or not.. I don't know.. I see no evidence for it.. but ignorance does feature greatly.... for sure. The biggest problem with the tired atheist arguments.. that these fine gentlemen are struggling with.. is they take.. whatever they have heard about the "what the bible is saying".. in the most literal sense.. and by doing so.. get in bed with those Christians.. who also never get further than having a literal understanding.. So either side.. both Christian and atheist alike.. are talking about something that they don't understand.. and in that sense.. I agree.. they are ignorant. For example.. the miracle stories are not about the supernatural.. They are metaphorical accounts.. mostly concerned with what goes on in the human spirit. The miracle stories meaning is ambiguous. As are stories of gods and devils.. that people foolishly claim to believe.. or disbelieve in.. Yes.. it is ignorant to understand such things literally.. but then... wise to ask - What do these things REALLY mean? And as scientists.. these 50 gentlemen should know how to ask the RIGHT questions.. rather than presume they have the bible all figured out.. with out putting in the years of study and research.. which they obviously haven't done... because.. If they had.. they would be so literal minded.. When it comes to authentic religious insight.. Schrodinger and Bohm are thinkers I most admire.

Nothing like an appeal to authority to comfort atheists. Aren't these the people that believe self aware conscious observers just pop into existence and the universe must be fertile with life? But at the same assert that a maximally great conscious observer called God couldn't exist? Seems self contradicting to me. Aristotle who was raised in a polytheistic world deduced there must be an unmovable Prime Mover, monotheism.

[@darkdragonite1419]

+Michael Word Aristotle was definitely naive in some of his beliefs. If he knew what we know today, he'd be an atheist.. Atheists don't believe self aware conscious observers 'pop' into existence, that's a strawman.. but ironically that's what christians believe.. have you read the creation story?

[@thewordofgod2010]

I'm Batman Consciousness makes no sense on naturalism. Once you realize you're actually thinking about the problem you realize naturalism is reductio ad absurdum. Consciousness is abstract and immaterial, the elephant in the room. I strongly doubt Aristotle would be an atheist today, very contradictory to his reasoning.

[@darkdragonite1419]

+Michael Word On the contrary, consciousness makes perfect sense within naturalism. Consciousness is an emergent property of the brain. To say it's immaterial is saying it is some spiritual phenomenon, which isn't the case. It's the firing and wiring of neural connections in the brain.

[@shakayojgph]

+Michael Word I can accept the probability of the existence of god, but i do not accept that religions are the way to get close to god, i do not recognize Jesus or Krisnha, for mention a few examples, as god, those are human inventions and all the nonsense of religions is what causes this debates, not the concept of god itself. If you ask me are you an atheist? if the definition of atheist if believe in the god or gods or any particular religion, then i´m a atheist.

[@mirceaevola6160]

Rename those videos to "50 Renowned Non-Theistic Academics Speaking About God". With the current title, it'd be expected to find some different views on the subject, from some very renowned religious and theistic academics (like Alasdair MacIntyre and Richard Swinburne, to name two, for example) alongside non-theistic academics. Instead, it's just atheist propaganda, trying to correlate academic honor with non-belief. There's no discussion in this video, just one point of view.

[@JPararajasingham]

You've missed the point by not reading the introduction properly. This doesn't claim to be a "discussion" video, so crying about it not being one is idiotic. If you want discussions you can find them in countless places. There is a correlation between scientific/philosophical literacy and nonbelief. This video is an illustration of the numerous (objective) statistics and surveys which demonstrate that correlation. So your accusation of this being propaganda is embarrassingly stupid.

[@mirceaevola6160]

J Pararajasingham 1) And you've missed the point of my commentary. I am aware that this video intends to show some correlation between atheism and the Academy -- I said that myself. What I said is that you should change the title to "50 non-theistic academics speaking about God", because the current title is misleading. One would expect a video where different academics, with different points of view, theists and agnostics and atheists, speak about God. Instead we get nothing but examples of the same view: non-theism. The title is misleading, and I'm sure I'm not the first and only one to think so. 2) And I said the video is some sort of atheist propaganda because it shows nothing but the same side of the question. To properly illustrate the claim you're trying to make, we'd have to have both points of view -- theists and non-theists -- and compare the prevalence of each of them in the Academia. If we were to take your video as the sole illustration, we'd have to believe that 100% of academics are non-theists (and that is obviously not the case). It also seems like premeditated atheist propaganda when you say "academics speak about God" and include nothing but non-theists, ignoring all academics that happen to be theists. Hence why I called it atheist propaganda. But my main point is 1. The title is misleading. I could make a video called "50 Renowned Academics speak about God" and include nothing but theists (MacIntyre, Swinburne, Anscombe, Haldane, Lane Craig, etc). It would be a misleading title, because I'd only offer the theistic perspective of the Academy.

[@JPararajasingham]

Mircea Evola 1. The title serves to illustrate the little know fact that if you ask a renowned academic in science or philosophy about god, chances are they are going to speak as the speakers here do. Perhaps that is a little subtle for you, but that is the point of the title if you care to grasp it. Even if you came to the video looking for "both sides", within 5 seconds you would have known you wouldn't find it here. So I really don't know what you're complaining about, it really does seem you were too lazy to read the intro and posted your silly complaint. 2. It would be propaganda if it was misleading in some way. But the immediate intro is very clear within the first few seconds that what you are about to see are only non-religious views. It also clearly suggests that there is a CORRELATION between irreligiosity and higher academia, so if someone takes away that 100% of academics are nontheistic, that's a brain failure on their part. My actual "claim" is that the majority of renowned scientists and philosophers are irreligious, which I haven't even tried to show directly by regurgitating the stats, rather I've just tried to illustrate it with clips so people can hear for themselves (since a lot of people will tend to be suspicious of the pure stats/surveys/lists). If you were to make a video with just theists with the same title, it wouldn't work as a subtle reference to the norm about academics, it wouldn't work as an illustration of the huge skew in distribution of nonbelievers in academia, and it would be next to impossible for you to find 150 religious renowned academics commenting on god (on camera/audio) since they are such a rare species. I mean, you've named about half of them in your tiny list. They are names which are very well known since they are so rare and few. Conversely, it was very easy for me to find countless irreligious academics as they are the norm. See the point?

[@mirceaevola6160]

J Pararajasingham It is propaganda because it *is* misleading, and I believe it is so especially because of the title. I don't think you understood my criticism at all. The title is there to be the main search terms and the quickest and most immediate explanation of what people are about to see, before they even have to read a description or watch the video. If the mere statement "50 Renowned Academics speaking about God" is to imply only non-theistic academics speaking about God, ignoring the many renowned theistic academics that can offer their own takes on the subject, then yes, it is a bit too "subtle" for me, and in fact I don't think it works. I believe it's pretty obvious -- and you have to agree with me -- that "50 non-theistic academics speak about God" would be a far more accurate title for your video. It's what it is, regardless of your claims of correlation (I could find many renowned theistic academics, by the way, but even if that wasn't the case, it still wouldn't change the fact that the title of the video is extremely misleading, since there's no real consensus on the question). There are renowned theistic academics, and you could easily find lots of interviews with them to add to your video. It's not as if there's some sort of "consensus" on God or religion in the Academy, and that is something even most atheistic academics would admit. And if there's no consensus, there's no justification whatsoever to naming your video -- which doesn't show one single theistic academic -- with the very broad title you've chosen, at the expense of clarity and honesty. It is a misleading title. And there is no doubt that "50 non-theistic academics speak about God" would be more accurate.

[@JPararajasingham]

I find nothing wrong with the title for the reasons I've given. It is both accurate and illustrative of the point of the video (rather than just being robotically accurate). This is a KZbin video, not a scientific paper. It is aimed not just to inform, but also to entertain, draw interest, and make people think by using not just facts but an artistic or skilful way of putting it together. You fail to see that it is made using other angles other than your boring, uninteresting, mind tells you it should have been made. Ironically, you are here not because of the title, but because of the high number of views. You might want to consider why the views are high. It has little to do with it being misleading. People have posted it all over the net after seeing what it is, and that has driven up the views. Again, telling me to include theists is a stupid suggestions given the actual point of the video. It would make no sense. If you can't see that, I can't help by making that any clearer than I've already tried.

[@JPararajasingham]

"you cannot prove that observation is a useable criteria" The fact that it works and makes predictions makes science effectively the definition of "useable". It is THE method for discerning reality, and we know this purely and simply because it works. What more do you need?

It's not exactly intellectually honest and objective to put together a video of 50 nonbelievers and make it seem like this is the official view of the scientific community.

[@JPararajasingham]

Firstly, it is a series of 150 nonbelievers. Secondly, if you bothered to read the intro properly, I clearly state what I am trying to show, so you don't need to second guess what you think I "seem" to be trying to show. Namely, there is a correlation between scientific/philosophical literacy and nonbelief. This video is an illustration of the numerous (objective) statistics and surveys which demonstrate that correlation. I see nothing intellectually dishonest about illustrating that fact for the public. Why you think I've made it "seem" like this is the "official" view of scientists, is beyond me, other than you felt the only way you could criticise me is to erect this nonsensical straw man. What I have actually stated is what I have tried to show, and that should supercede whatever you think it "seems" like I'm showing. It's not intellectually honest to misrepresent what I have done.

Jim Henderson --truth is not determined by a democratic method. A million esteemed scientists can testify to being atheists, but that doesn't prove it's true. You are coming precipitously close to the "Argument from Authority", a fallacy in classical logic. I am a physicist and agnostic myself, and have wrestled with theological questions all of my adult life. Many of the justifications given by this array of scientists are surprisingly sophomoric, and this suggests that they really haven't thought about the issue very much. Furthermore, many of them seem to disparage the "God" of organized religions, but the issue really does not end there.

---->this type of purpose (self-defined purpose) is not actually purpose, its meaningless. purpose is what we come by when we ask what reason anyone has for doing something.Tracing back my reasoning, my parents reasoning and so on, there would be no ultimate reason for why any of us had done anything, in absolute terms, if the cause was random.I dont believe in random information. the only being capable of producing information is us, and our thoughts have a basic and abstract value system--->

[@shiz777]

I'm sorry I came off harsh. I like playing devil's advocate and I also am a neutral monist and most atheists are materialists. They tend to be very dismissive of any view which opposes the idea that it's more than the classical physics of neurons at play in the formation of consciousness. To be honest you would probably own me in a debate on qualia but before you do Ramachandran is a neutral monist as well :p. I can see you as being partial to Edelman's theories of mind. Am I correct?

[@Rarae192]

Professor Jonathan Haidt was clearly taken out of context. At the end when he says, "The factual claims of religion are, by-and-large, false... so I'm on board with all of those claims..." and then the clip cuts out, he actually goes on to say, "And even though I hate religion - Ooh, but I loooooooove JESUS! Word up to my diggitti, bballllll!!" Can't believe you cut it out. Shame on you!

[@RainbowEagleSerpent]

To the religious - Equating religion with GOD is erroneous. Equating the word GOD with a supreme being is erroneous. To the new priests of science; Equating the inability to measure the immeasurable to the non-existence of the immeasurable is prejudiced. Equating the inability to apprehend universal natural phenomenal is forgotten when pretense is made to correctly interpret scripture

[@martinportillo2018]

Metaphysics has only got three ideas: God, freedom and immortality. Metaphysics does not require these ideas for the sake of natural science, but in order to go beyond nature. Nevertheless, the idea of a thinking nature (soul), in its immanent use it is the most important knowledge we have, together with the idea of freedom and that it is also truth

[@Hume2012]

+Martin Portillo No, that was Kant and much of metaphysics since it was initially developed in ancient Greece is about reality, what is real. And we can ask a lot of questions that are not all reducible to the three ideas you listed.

Not sure how I got here and whether I care, but it's quite amusing that you chose Bach's Matthäus-Passion to play in the background.

Not sure whether you'll care about this either, but the music in all my videos was mainly chosen, oddly enough, because I like it. They are some of my favourite pieces. Just as Bernini's Pluto and Proserpina is one of my favourite sculptures, despite my lack of belief in the god Pluto.

[@manthasagittarius1]

Good! Glad someone brings that up. Human heuristic-style reasoning has a good deal of bias inherent in it. Some of it functions simply to reduce uncertainty; and some of it is anti-aversive. Sometimes it's just more efficient, even if it doesn't yield an ideal level of truth: size something up once or twice by observing its behavior, attribute an explanation to it, and you know how to proceed around it thenceforward, as a "rule of thumb," which may or may not be accurate, but which "works."

This is a great video. Thank you, creator (of the video) and uploader. Your choice to use soundtracks (like Howard Shore I think I heard...who ironically composed the score for the Da Vinci Code movie, lol; not sure if that was intentional) as the backdrop music is ideal, as it doesn't get in the way of the speakers...I think soundtrack music is usually designed to be non-distracting and supportive.

[@joematty5639]

Dr. Albert Ellis, PhD and founder of REBT used to say something like, "When faced with evidence which contradicts their beliefs, rational people change their beliefs to fit the evidence and irrational people change the evidence to fit their beliefs." God as Creator is the only explanation which fits the known evidence. Any contrary opinion is an irrational and quite frankly silly. And all the PhDs in the world won't change that fact.

[@comforth3898]

That's according to you and not the evidence. In fact the evidence and our understanding of it does not suggest whether or not a God exists.

[@projektEnigma]

keep up the good work on these videos! at least in the comments despite the trolling, which im sure is plenty, hopefully it promotes critical thinking. Though that is hard to ask from the devout, as critical thinking is to challenge and defend ones own points and even give ground when one reaches the limit of one's knowledge

[@JPararajasingham]

"I know this word assertion quite well.Its generally what the new atheist likes to assert" Complaining about use of the word assertion and then using it yourself. You really don't have much insight, do you? Given the evidence that we make intuitive mistakes about how reality works through out "basic knowledge" e.g. the nature of time, the scale of the cosmos, gravity, the nature of atoms, etc., how can you possibly rely on your basic knowledge for something as far removed as God?

[@D3nchanter]

The critics are not all atheists, the critics are people that like to have evidence before they go blindly believing in things, aka reasonable people. If the idea had evidence to back it I'd bother taking it seriously. You seem to assume I'm against investigating the idea. Nothing seems to suggest that the quantum mind is the case though and there is a reason it was proposed, and that reason isn't very valid. Do you even know why the idea was generated without evidence?

Firstly, I helped you by making the distinction between non-being and the "nothing" defined in physics. So you're not teaching me anything, you're actually just failing to keep up. Secondly, cause and effect only work with time, and time does not precede the Big Bang. So you are ignorant to talk about causes of fluctuations. Thirdly, if anything requires a cause, why not god? Answer: because you cheat by defining him however you want. "You sound silly" Ditto re: everything you've said here.

[@jesusdeity2010]

The Gospel is for that matter outrageous, craziness to the human intellect. But then again mankind fell. So who is to trust? Fallen human intellect, or.... God's logic? What lots of people (even pastors) don't (yet) understand. God created us according to His own image and likeness. Godly. Mankind/the first Adam fell. The image of God in man got lost. That's why there is all this predicament on earth (selfishness, greed, lust, wars, sicknesses, death, etc). We are all born into that mess. For the fall of man a perfect atoning sacrifice had to be made.... that is what God did in Christ. With His own once and for all perefect sacrifice, He paid the debt for the fall of man for us, so we can be indwelled by His Spirit again and finally receive the divine life of the ages back, the first Adam let got of in the fall of man. An amazing act of grace and love by our creator. That is what you see happening in Christ's first disciples. They too healed all and walked in unselfish love. And yes.... that is still avaible today. The holy blood is in place, the Holy Spirit is here to give us understanding, power and transform us back to origin. Not to be debated about, but to be embraced and be-come. So: The Kingdom of God already came. Through Christ, in Spiritform, in those that understand. Hence the divine healing miracles we experience. God manifested in Christ to give us back the divine life mankind lost in the fall of Adam. Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after in Gen 1. The image we lost in the fall of man. The image that can be freely restored by Christ's blood and Holy Spirit working IN us. What a plan. What a solution. What a love. What a God. Jesus is amazing. It is the ultimate conclusion of the word and plan of God. God came full circle. He Himself stooped down from glory to restore us back to original created value: Christlikeness. Walking in divine healing power and unselfish love. Jesus, born of the Spirit of God, filled with the spirit of God. The "Son" of God, the incarnated word, God in the flesh. For three years He healed all, raised the dead, casted out demons, controlled nature, spoke pure divine truth. He said: "Follow Me. If you see Me, you see the Father. The Father and I are one. The glory I have IN My Father, I give to you. It pleases the Father to give you His Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature. I will send Holy Spirit, the same as Me, He will be IN you, guide you into truth and give you explosive power. The same miracles i do, you will do too, because you will understand that the Father is IN Me and I am IN you. Freely I give you My Kingdom/Holy Spirit/divine nature, heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons, freely I give, freely share" Etc, etc, etc. I have experienced thousands of beautifull healing miracles through the power of Holy Spirit IN me already. Broken bones, cancers, covid, all kinds of infirmities healed in seconds. Demons manifesting and casted out by a simple "get out, in Jesus name". Jesus. De name above all names. In Him all power and wisdom is sourced and.... He calls us one with Him. God in man and man in God again. C'mon Jesus!! So.... again: God stooped down IN Christ to restore us back to Gen 1:27 were He said: "Let us make man according to our image and likeness and let them have authority.....": walk as Christ. Christ, the exact image of the invisible God. The image we were created after and being restored to by His atoning blood for the fall of man and indwelling Holy Spirit. You are free to receive this original divine life of the ages by Holy Spirit of Christ/God. Ask Him to guide you into truth. Read the Gospel of John and fall in love with your creator. You are not made for the fall of man and its effects, but for the image/glory of God and to walk like Christ. Holy Spirit is the guide and transforming power that will get you there. Amazing grace. A big leap in faith can be made when we start realizing we are already IN Christ, IN the last Adam. Free from the fall! Loved! Growing into awareness of our new (yet old) godly identity. Changing by Holy Spirit. The most fullfilled life ever. Paul healed all on Malta. He understood and wrote: "As in the first Adam ALL died (lost the divine nature), so also ALL were made alive IN Christ to walk in Zoë (= divine life) again". "IN Christ (the last Adam) we are co-cruisified (dead to the fall and its effects), co-raised (justified/made righteousness, holy, blameless, above reproach), co-seated (one with Him)" "The fullness of deity dwells in Christ and YOU HAVE BEEN MADE COMPLETE IN HIM, who is the head of every principality and power". So.... thank you Jesus! Thank you for redeeming me from the fall of man. Thank you for your Holy Spirit that makes this new (yet old) divine life come alive in me. You are amazing! In the shadow of Peter the sick healed... He understood too and wrote: "By Gods power (Holy Spirit) and knowing Christ, we have become partakers of the divine nature and have escaped the fall of man". The divine life of the ages has been returned to us by Jesus once and for all perfect atoning sacrifice for the debt of the fall of man and His indwelling Holy Spirit in us. Jesus/God is amazing!!! Ask Him to give you revelation and change you to the way it was before the fall of man: Christlikeness. He will do so. For it is written: "the Spirit brings forth after His own kind". "I have come to give you Zoë (divine life) in abundance...."

In a mother’s womb were two babies.One asked the other: “Do you believe in life after delivery?”The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.” “Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?” The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.” The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.” The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.” The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one has ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.” “Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.” The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?” The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.” Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.” To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”

Try getting all of your friends to do what you tell them to do. Bear in mind these are friends. Now expand this to your "village". Instruct everyone on the do's and dont's of acceptable behavior. It's only a matter of time before people tire of your authority and demands. But if you've farmed out the ultimate authority to an unseen all knowing being who speaks through you - the chosen conduit, you've created a primitive type of surveillance state that people will respect out of fear. Problem solved. Now start implementing your ideas in the society backed by your own supernatural buddy and create a little paradise for yourself. Alternately, primitive man looking for reason behind why things are or aren't occurring like drought/floods etc. is a kind of primitive scientific questioning. Why does a+b=c? Their conclusions are often wrong and not based on repeatable experiments but it is the same impetus to try to understand. In agriculture or hunting though, clearly repeatable experiments won out. There are a finite number of ways to "skin a cat." Why starve?

[@mertonhirsch4734]

I would propose the "Belief" is supernatural. We either 1) believe because of material determinism in which case we have no reason to trust that our beliefs are rational and not a deterministic delusion of physics on one level and evolution on another, and also in which case, calling our beliefs rational, or presupposing that they line up with an underlying reality is a logically superfluous (Russel's teapot), and faith-based claim that can not be justified by any materialistic scientific or logical process, or 2) come to our beliefs because we have freedom to do so, in which case we have to appeal to a super natural mechanism that enables true not-deterministic free will.

I'll explain this again, please try and understand it... Prior to the Big Bang, time and therefore causation do not apply. Scientific evidence in totality has never shown an intelligence, only unguided, natural explanations. It's not interesting I believe in acausality or eternity, it is based on known physics. It is your "next step" for which there is zero evidence. Your lay arguments are scientific, yet it doesn't make you wonder why real scientists disagree. Now that's real arrogance.

[@JPararajasingham]

I think I warned you before about trying to second guess my thoughts. You have totally incorrectly guessed what I think. Look up moral scepticism, and you'll have some idea of my view on morality.

I said the specific feeling you mentioned was irrelevant, namely revulsion against an act. So again, you're arguing against something I didn't say.

But arrogant nonetheless, a pretty disastrous combination. And to keep saying I'm not open is pointless. I could easily say the same to you, which gets us nowhere. If you bothered to get information from scientists rather than creationist websites, you'd realise your errors. Your problem is miseducation, not openness. It's a shame really.

[@JPararajasingham]

How about the option that scientists are right, and you, the person who knows nothing about science is wrong? Devastatingly (note the spelling) wrong. The quantum world is not designed for humans to comprehend. But it is evidenced. Space and time do not apply in the same way, hence why you can have the same particle in two places at once for example. God should also cease to function without time or space, but since you've made him up, you can assign whatever magical properties you want :)

[@JPararajasingham]

You say God requires no explanation or cause, I say a non-intelligent, non-anthropomorphic existence such as QF requires no explanation or cause. The difference is your theory is based on psychological needs, inability to cope with life, ancient scrolls and total ignorance. And your default is to threaten people with god's wrath. Thanks for being such a good advert for anti-theism though on my channel. You support my claim that theists can't really think properly. Always appreciated :)

[@JPararajasingham]

"one shred of evidence where energy and matter self-generate from "nothing" (defined as "no thing"...no energy, vacuums, etc)" I don't believe that they came from non-being. I believe they came from the physics definition of nothing, which is quantum mechanical fluctuations. I don't believe it came from a magical superbeing, which you certainly have no evidence for other than from fairy tales you read as a child. What evidence do you have that eternal existence has an intelligence?

[@JPararajasingham]

That is a philosophical argument. Philosophers are contained through these videos, and the majority reject not only theism but specifically the Kalam argument as a good reason to believe. Again, this goes against your initial inane point about the speakers here not have the right "expertise". Contradicting yourself much? The observable universe is caused. Reality beyond that is an eternal substrate of existence. And given quantum fluctuations, postulating "god" remains superfluous.

[@JPararajasingham]

Then that's a shame for ANYONE speaking about god, since no one is an expert in all the fields relevant to the hypothesis of god i.e. physics, philosophy, biology, genetics, medicine, geology, history, archaeology, comparative religion, theology, etc. To speak about a creator of the UNIVERSE requires some decent knowledge of how the UNIVERSE is put together, don't you think? Perhaps try thinking a bit more carefully before commenting?

[@JPararajasingham]

The "feeling" is irrelevant, the only relevant aspects are whether something is consensual (a desired action) and whether it causes harm (i.e. an unwanted effect). The feelings of empathy simply mirror that logic. But what makes it wrong is that it is not conducive to social stability, not the feeling of revulsion against it. If we simply went with feelings, then racism and sexism would still be considered morally acceptable.

[@JPararajasingham]

Indeed there is something to understand, and lay persons may not understand this as well as those who study it. This is the first point, which you should again note negates your initial ill-informed criticism about the video. I just told you why I don't understand your trust in intuition. It is tiresome that you aren't following. Intuition has shown itself to be unreliable when up against observation. So explain why you believe intuition is reliable as a tool for discerning reality?

[@JPararajasingham]

I am concerned about defending myself against criticisms. I didn't invite you to criticise me, you chose to do that, and I'm simply responding. Calling that rhetoric is pretty hilarious. I've pointed out that you're making up your own reasons for why I've made the video, and that your argument that their opinions aren't relevant is wrong. The only thing you've opened people's eyes to is the fact that you can't really follow what is happening on the video, on the comments section, or in reality.

@badblueman "But isn't it so that either things are the way they are because of pure chance, that any perceived logic is just an illusion, or that things are logically, mathematically based. That the reason things work isn't just luck but that they are "meant to" (no god intended)..." Alvin Plantinga almost makes that kind of argument for God: watch?v=eU-wpNOyuas watch?v=D65WS8l8oCA I dread the day Plantinga discovers Max Tegmark.

@badblueman "show me an actual cube in the universe." A cube that isn't a "mere approximation" of a mathematically perfect cube probably doesn't exist. At the nano level all attempts to create pure geometric shapes must fail because everything is made of lumpy, fuzzy atoms. The platonic realm of pure geometry is an oversimplification - it exists only in our brains. Yes, I reject Max Tegmark's ( name in the vid, his bit is at time 39:04 ) claim on scant evidence. It's a only bad start.

More like the fish who wonders, "why do I have to eat and breath fish poop all day long?"

My followers? What on earth are you talking about? Do you really expect anyone to take you seriously when you can't even state your argument properly, while claiming that others have no relevant "expertise"? You're starting to make yourself look pretty foolish. You might want to quit while you're ahead.
