Dr Andrew Huberman: How Religion ANSWERS Questions Science CAN’T!

[@qasimzafars7371]

This was a interesting conversation. I listen to the Huberman podcasts all the time. Glad to see Dr Andrew Huberman believing in the idea of God.

Very interesting. Existence of God through scientific proof needs more details from holy quran.

Are you guyz qadyanis????

[@Bill_Garthright]

Yes, religion answers questions science can't. They're not necessarily _true_ answers, of course. In fact, since the different religions of the world contradict each other, most of those answers _must_ be wrong. And as far as I can tell, there's no good evidence backing up _any_ of them. But if you don't care about the truth, you might find those answers comforting - the specific answers of the religion you were taught to believe as a baby, of course. You're not going to find the answers of _other_ religions comforting, huh? But I care about the truth. I _care_ about the _truth._ That's why I need evidence, not just comfort, not just wishful-thinking.

What evidence would satisfy you? Actually seeing God? Seeing Angels? What?

[@Bill_Garthright]

@@AkbarAllahabadi007 How about *something* distinguishable from wishful-thinking? Can you manage _that?_ How about one piece of good evidence, specific enough and in enough detail that I can judge it for myself, that your god is real, rather than just imaginary? Just *one.* Is that too much to ask? I don't care what it is, as long as it's distinguishable from wishful-thinking. Got anything? Got *anything* distinguishable from wishful-thinking? PS. If you're a Christian, I'd also accept *one piece of good evidence* that _any_ of the magical/supernatural stories in the Bible actually happened. Your choice. And I will _give_ you a guy named Jesus who was crucified by the Romans.

@@Bill_Garthright the fact that you care about “truth” in itself points to a creator. That is an attribute of his. I’m not here to lecture or convince anyone, but I’ll share a very basic example with you. You are likely using a smart device to view KZbin and watch uploads and comments. That device you are using has a creator, it didn’t just randomly appear. I won’t bore you with the chain from conception to end product of this device, but you purchased the device and the creator also gave instructions on how best to use the device. Look around you, the universe, the world and everything within in this world including us humans. Humans are far more complex than a smart device ever will be. How can a smart device be created but something even more complicated and complex just be a random creation? We didn’t just randomly appear we had to be created to such perfection where everything is co dependent on each other. That creator also via revealed religions to his chosen messengers gave instructions on how to live life and the ultimate reason for his creation that is to seek his creator and make a bond.

@@AkbarAllahabadi007 _"the fact that you care about “truth” in itself points to a creator. That is an attribute of his."_ *Evidence?* You're just making claims. How about this: "The fact that you care about truth in itself points to magic unicorns. That's an attribute of theirs." There, does that convince _you_ that magic unicorns are real? I'm asking you for evidence, but you're just making vague claims. (And I don't know how truth can even _be_ an "attribute." Maybe you mean _caring_ about the truth? But again, I need evidence that your 'creator' even _exists,_ let alone cares about the truth.) _"That device you are using has a creator"_ Nope. No "creator" said some magic words to pop my computer into existence out of nothing. Many people designed the parts. Many people were involved in making them from pre-existing material. Besides, no computer is anything like a universe. I'm sorry, but that's just silly. We know how computers are made. _"Humans are far more complex than a smart device ever will be."_ So what? Last I heard, smart devices don't f*ck. They don't reproduce, making baby smart devices which grow up to reproduce, themselves. Animals like human beings are _nothing_ like smart devices. And I have no idea what complexity has to do with any of this, anyway. _"How can a smart device be created but something even more complicated and complex just be a random creation?"_ I don't think that human beings _are_ "random creations." I don't think we were "created" _at all,_ let alone randomly. And that's not evidence. That's just an argument from personal incredulity, which is a known logical fallacy. _"we had to be created to such perfection where everything is co dependent on each other."_ You don't know much about human beings if you think that we're perfect! (Seriously. You clearly know _nothing_ about biology.) _"That creator also via revealed religions to his chosen messengers gave instructions"_ *Evidence?* Just *one* piece of good evidence that's actually true? Just *one* piece of good evidence that _any_ of that is true? I'm sure that's what you were taught to believe as a child, but is any of it actually _true?_ Thanks for the reply, but I'm going to need evidence, not just vague claims. PS. I did reply to your earlier comment, but KZbin sucks. So you can't see it unless you sort the comments here by "Newest first," instead of leaving them at the default "Top comments" sorting. Sorry. Nothing I can do about that.

@@Bill_Garthright If God is present, why can’t we see Him? The basis of atheism (science) negates this question itself. There are many things we experience in our daily lives that we cannot perceive through our eyes; the air we breathe, the fragrance of our favourite fragrance, the taste of a summer barbeque and even human emotions like happiness and sorrow. The world around us is saturated with “invisible” interactions; Wi-Fi, electricity, radio waves - the list goes on. All of these subtleties can be felt but cannot be seen or appropriately allotted physical dimensions. Why can’t this principle work when it comes to God? Is He not the Most Subtle? After all, if he is the Creator of every universe to exist, and all creation, then, surely, He would be the most hidden as well. The Holy Quran describes Him as: لَا تُدۡرِکُہُ الۡاَبۡصَارُ ۫ وَ ہُوَ یُدۡرِکُ الۡاَبۡصَارَ ۚ وَ ہُوَ اللَّطِیۡفُ الۡخَبِیۡرُ “God cannot be seen with the physical eyes but He reveals Himself to the eyes of man. He is too subtle to be seen by the eye of man, but He is aware of everything!” (Surah al-An‘am, Ch.6: V.104) Now the question arises that if we cannot see God, how can we experience His existence? God can only be recognised through His attributes. He is “خالق” [the Creator] and presents His flawless creation as a proof of His existence. Moreover, He challenges man to reflect upon it and try his best to find a fault. The Holy Quran states: الَّذِیۡ خَلَقَ سَبۡعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ طِبَاقًا ؕ مَا تَرٰی فِیۡ خَلۡقِ الرَّحۡمٰنِ مِنۡ تَفٰوُتٍ ؕ فَارۡجِعِ الۡبَصَرَ ۙ ہَلۡ تَرٰی مِنۡ فُطُوۡرٍ۔ ثُمَّ ارۡجِعِ الۡبَصَرَ کَرَّتَیۡنِ یَنۡقَلِبۡ اِلَیۡکَ الۡبَصَرُ خَاسِئًا وَّ ہُوَ حَسِیۡرٌ “…Who has created seven heavens in harmony. No incongruity canst thou see in the creation of the Gracious God. Then look again: Seest thou any flaw? Aye, look again, and yet again, thy sight will return unto thee only confused and fatigued.” (Surah al-Mulk, Ch.67: V.4-5) The Holy Quran, in this verse, is not only presenting a great proof for the existence of God, but is also educating the world of science. If any flaws are seen in the creation of the universe, then scientists and researchers need to delve further and they will soon realise that the “flaw” was never a flaw in the first place! This has been proven through many revised theories. Humans are also a remarkable creation. Allah Almighty says: لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ فِیۡۤ اَحۡسَنِ تَقۡوِیۡمٍ “We have created man in the best make.” (Surah al-Tin, Ch.95: V.5) His magnificent creations still contain innumerable mysteries in them, proving the point that they have been created by a Higher Omnipotent Being, who has perfected them on every level that their minute details startle the observer. This excellence seems impossible without a Supreme Creator. At the same time, Allah has reminded mankind how limited and weak they are compared to God the Almighty: اِنَّ الَّذِیۡنَ تَدۡعُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰہِ لَنۡ یَّخۡلُقُوۡا ذُبَابًا وَّ لَوِ اجۡتَمَعُوۡا لَہٗ ؕ وَ اِنۡ یَّسۡلُبۡہُمُ الذُّبَابُ شَیۡئًا لَّا یَسۡتَنۡقِذُوۡہُ مِنۡہُ ؕ ضَعُفَ الطَّالِبُ وَ الۡمَطۡلُوۡبُ “Surely, those on whom you call instead of Allah cannot create even a fly, though they combine together for the purpose. And if the fly should snatch away anything from them, they cannot recover it therefrom. Weak indeed are both the seeker and the sought.” (Surah al-Hajj, Ch.22: V.74) Prophets - Signs of God Be it physical or spiritual, God Almighty caters for all the needs of human beings. He has created resources for subsistence, security, accommodation and welfare. He did not neglect spiritual nourishment. He sent prophets for the guidance of people from every nation. Prophet Adamas, Noahas, Mosesas, Jesusas, Zoroasteras, Buddhaas, Confuciusas, Krishnaas, Ram Chandraas etc., all were proclaimers and torch-bearers of the same light.
