The callers who call in complaining that the show screens out all the GOOD apologists like them go on to dazzle us with Look At The Trees and What If You're Wrong. I recall one debate that was a bloodbath, the theist didn't even fight back. Just brutal. A suggested video promised an epic rematch with an overwhelming victory for the theist so I clicked with intense interest to see the dramatic turnaround where the apologist finally made a case. It was **The. Same. Damn. Video.**

[@Conan_the_rastafarian]

@@BaronVonQuiply Here lies the secret that I think the professionals understand. There is a brick wall that we cannot go beyond in our own human authority in regards to proving or convincing others in this question of God. You can walk right up to the wall and talk intelligently for hours and hours about the complex problems that science doesn't know, or relate it back to religion and the problems it can't reconcile according to science. Those theist arguments by the professionals can maybe unfairly be summed up in one sentence as a very very elaborate and complex way of saying look at the trees. It all does serve a purpose for some people ready to seek on their own. Some people are convinced to begin the process to seek for themselves and move beyond the brick wall once a complex argument of look at the trees is made. You can "look at the trees" in cosmology or math or biology, or in other places that matter to you specifically.

The Mario analogy was almost compelling but he kinda dropped the ball on it. Like, it is true that Mario would have no way of knowing if he was in video game unless we (as programmers) give him the means to do so. So, comparatively, we would only be able to find a creator god if he gave us a means to do so. But ultimately that doesn't say a whole lot about actual reality.

[@BaronVonQuiply]

It occurred to me one day that if you were a conscious program in such a simulation then you would likely require the ability to examine "reality" at a finer scale than exists. eg, to the displayed game world a pixel (or subpixel) is as fine as you get. It would be like the planck length, anything smaller is meaningless to the character programs. To realize that underneath that lay polygons and textures would require them to "look between the pixels" and I'm not sure they'd be any better off than our physicists dealing with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. (Especially if you go the easy way and remember to hard code BelievesSimulation = True)

[@DeludedOne]

Yeah not knowing =/= therefore you can simply claim whatever you want as the answer.

[@ahall9839]

@@BaronVonQuiply That makes no sense. A character in a 3d world wouldn't see in terms of pixels, and even if for some reason they did even though it makes no sense, you wouldn't need to look "between" pixels to see polygons and textures, not only because that also doesn't make sense, but because you can already see the polygons and textures with the pixels. Overall analogy grade: F- - A better analogy would be comparing the virtual 3d representation created by a computer program, and the bits that make up the program, or the code, or whatever. That would raise the analogy level to F-.

I often get frustrated with Matt's lack of patience with callers, but I totally understand it. It's the same argument over and over and its only considered an argument because they say it is. Filling gaps with God just because is not an answer. It's throwing your hands up and saying you need an answer where one is not yet known. Not that it won't be known and that it can't, but that it isn't yet. You can say I don't know and leave it there and eventually there will be an answer. We just have to find it. God has historically been given credit to everything up until the moment we find out it wasn't a god at all and that it can be both explained and replicated. So what was the point of giving God credit in the first place, Brad? Say "I don't know yet" and leave it there. Don't insert God because you feel like you need an answer. If anything, embark on finding the answer yourself. Who knows, maybe it will end up being God (doubt), but until you arrive at that point, you're applying an answer that has not earned its position.

I think Forrest came up with a new Dr. Suess book called "I don't know what nothing is" 😂

[@Owen_013]

19:20 Perfectly synchronized “No!”

[@GMYSTERYICTNF]

Ain't no way he used the Shadow puppets in a cave analogy using Mario💀

[@somepublic]

How even do phones work? Will anyone ever know?

SHAZZAM!! I just realized..thanks Brad...I made a human!! I must be gob!!

[@meloveAi]

Wait, why did the caller name on the screen changed from Brad to Siobhan?

[@angrypom]

The broken mug at the end was so sad; I guess that Forrest finally had a bad day

[@BaronVonQuiply]

I missed that the first few times around, it was like a short film hidden at the tail of the clip (non-sarcastically, it works)

[@hextech3161]

Forest: “you don’t know shit about nothing” 😅😂😂😂

[@emptybucket1988]

Forrest

[@jojobizarrelivingstone594]

11:08 yet you think this invisible timeless being creats stuff out of nothing. Question: How can anyone tell the difference between something creating itself and an invisible being creating it?

[@tehspamgozehere]

Love the mug, Forrest. I'm sure there's a line in here somewhere about being unable to get a handle on things or something, but I can't think of it right now.

[@burkeyatm]

“I exist, therefore a god MUST exist”. Wow

[@chadrasmussen1154]

God deff exists lol

[@breakfastberrito8990]

That was fascinating to listen to. The caller argued against his own conclusion like 3 times, but didn’t notice. He kept circling back to “how can we know anything beyond our natural universe?”, but would then conclude that there is a god beyond it. In his Mario analogy, the caller himself is Mario and has no access to the means of creation behind him or the game

[@bobmcfierson2163]

"I didn't understand chemistry in high school. Therefor water Can't be Hydrogen and Oxygen"- genius illiogical stupidity

[@williamtarry4405]

The time to believe in a claim is when there is valid and verifiable evidence to support that claim. I ask theists to provide valid and verifiable evidence, but thy never do.

[@GMYSTERYICTNF]

Love Forrest and Matt, it's like Good cop, Bad Cop. 😂

[@ender3360]

This caller has me believing in the god of the gasps (😮 ) because I was left dumbfounded with his responses lol

[@TrishRyan-ey8go]

I’m a Marylander where in Maryland did he say he was from?? I know it doesn’t really matter just very curious- anyone know??

[@KageJW]

How is "magic did it," ever a logical answer?

[@kevedwards4352]

I don't know why everyone is wasting their time. The universe and everything and everyone one in it, including all their memories, was vomited up by my dog seven minutes ago.

[@slickshewz]

Word salad

[@PuffyCloud_aka_puffeclaude]

Far too many of us humans just can not get out of our own heads. Drop your existential dread for half a second and understanding becomes possible. "Why am I here, and what does it all mean?" is an interesting question, but it doesn't need an answer. You dont have to decide one to live your life. In fact, you might just become more aware of a grander tapestry, and stop being so self-absorbed.

[@mirandahotspring4019]

Whenever I ask myself the question, "Why am I here, and what does it all mean?" I take time out to have a beer and hotdog to think it over. It only took a few years for me to realise I'm here to consume beer and hotdogs and the universe exists only to supply them to me. Pretty soon I believe Jenny Craig will also enter the equation.

[@MaxtheFinger]

"You don't know shit about nothing...." Words to live by.

[@arvydussibonus1712]

20:09 The Nothing is what Bastian and Atreyu had to fight to save the universe.

[@riseagain845]

Classic example of Luigi's wager.

[@ernestmac13]

If anything this call ahows how and why people hold all sorts of beliefs; it comes down to not being comfortable with the unknown, and filling that void with something of our choosing to make us feel comfortable by believing that assertion is equal to actual knowledge.

[@a-o-s]

So following the Caller's argument, if Mario did believe in a certain creator (that the caller states they would not be able to determine) - then they would be crazy right? How is this different from exactly what they are doing with their god?

[@grandvianna8551]

Didn't even make it a minute into this simply because of the constant "hello? I can hear you can you hear me?" DESPITE the intentional parameters set into the screeners to prevent this very thing. Christ almighty 😂😂😂

[@juliuswilliams4447]

Thanks!

"If I lift a boulder by myself, it's heavy. If I lift a boulder with one other person, its not as heavy." HUUUUUUHHH!!!!?

Brad...I want what I believe to be true....and so it is.
