A very well-spent 40 minutes! His arguments are clear and thoughtful because he points out both the argued positions and fallacies of opposing viewpoints. I really appreciated the clarification of the difference between epistemology and foundational/objective basis arguments. The notion of God that goes along with this talk is also independent of any faith tradition- even Buddhism is covered because the Creator cannot be comprehended, but we can logically determine His existence without comprehending His reality (like a painting cannot know the painter). My background (Baha'i) admits also that the alternatives Hamza discusses - so dependent on human subjectivity are also pitfalls. On the other hand, if we, individually in our own mind and limite experience and susceptible to "reframing"- are not able to know the Will of the Creator (whether that Unknowable Essence is one, three or no "personal" God), we can also allow for the existence of a specific part of creation (e.g., people like Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Krishna, jessu Muhammad and perhaps many others) whose reality and purpose is to communicate those"commands and insights", which are - in the context of this talk - the portal through which we can see the objectivity of good and evil, and hence a Creator.

I have an answer to the Euthyphro Dilemma but it is paradoxical: - Piety and God are one and eternal, none came before the other they both co-exist with one another because God is Good, therefore the answer is they both exist eternally. It seems as though this answer is illogical at first but once you see how Humans are incapable of understanding eternity then you'll see how the answer can make sense from an eternal perspective. Credit for this answer goes to my Philosophy teacher who mentioned it in class.
@markhackett23024 жыл бұрын
Ah, no, YOU don't understand eternity. And you don't define things into existence. Otherwise I can claim that by definition god doesn't exist, since god is a mythical being who does magic and, since the definition of myth is a fictional story set in the distant past, this proves god doesn't exist.

The Kalam Cosmological Argument An argument that Uses the most fundamental laws of contemporary physics and engineering. To prove. The presence. Of God. Allah. 1-Whatever begins to exist, has a cause of its existe. 2-The universe began to exist.( The Big Bang Theory of the Universe postulates a beginning.)+(the second law of thermodynamics (entropy). In a closed system the available energy will become less and less until until finally you have no available energy at all (you have reached a state of entropy).simply The universe is running out of energy.which also points us to a universe that has a definite beginning. 3-therefore, the universe has a cause. In Holy Quran the Word of God, THE ‘BIG BANG’ VERSE اَوَ لَمۡ یَرَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡۤا اَنَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضَ کَانَتَا رَتۡقًا فَفَتَقۡنٰہُمَا ؕ وَ جَعَلۡنَا مِنَ الۡمَآءِ کُلَّ شَیۡءٍ حَیٍّ ؕ اَفَلَا یُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ Do not the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass (ratqan), then We opened them out (fafataqnahuma)? And We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? (21:31 Al-Anbiya) The universe is running out of energy VERSE ﴿٨﴾ أَوَلَمْ يَتَفَكَّرُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ ۗ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنَ النَّاسِ بِلِقَاءِ رَبِّهِمْ لَكَافِرُونَ 8.

I am a Muslim and a somewhat fan of mr. Hamza Tzortzis. And I think this entire lecture concludes absolutely nothing other than proving that consequentialism is bollocks. There is no such thing as objectively right or wrong. People in the room would not like killing Zakaria because they were raised that way. A person may switch an individual or a set of morality any time with events in his/her life or a miraculous hidayah from Allah working as catalysts. The very people who believed it was perfectly okay to torture a slave to death abandoned that morality overnight when they embraced Islam.

Salams, I have a few questions on this lecture, Firstly, I didn't understand Hamza's point when he was talking about social biological conditioning.. that if we were reared like certain bees or sharks we would be killing and raping and not considering it immoral. I don't get the point he's trying to make? We aren't bees, and we aren't sharks.. we are human beings and our "social biological conditioning" (if it exists) could be what tells us that it is morally wrong to kill and rape for example..just like social biological conditioning in bees and sharks tell them it's ok to kill and rape, because it's what is best for their species.. is he saying it is morally wrong for bees to kill, and for sharks to rape? What am I missing there? Secondly, his comment on natural selection, I didn't really understand the difference between capacity to form ethical rules, and foundation for objective moral values. Can someone explain that? Examples would help. Third, regarding moral realism, isn't their statement that moral truth are just moral truths because they are, an agreement with what Hamza said in the first place? That, it is a self evident truth, an axiom..To add to that question, who determines what is considered an axiom? Axiom's by definition can't be proven, because they are self proven, but, if one half rejects an axiom and another accepts an axiom, how does the accepting side convince the rejecting side, that the axiom is an axiom? Jazakum Allah khair.

I never really understood what this argument is supposed to accomplish. So good in evil and the sense religion describes doesn't exist. What's the problem? I don't see something inherently wrong with our concept of good and evil coming from what we believe helps us to survive best. If that's not a problem for someone, this argument is useless. Making up absurdities that have potential harm, and saying "but in a way that doesn't harm anyone" is cheating. It's pretending to have foreknowledge of the consequences, which we cannot have. Taking a risk on behalf of someone else that may harm them is still "wrong" by this consequentialist standard, and getting lucky to get away with it doesn't change that. It's just making a mockery of the idea and using that as an argument. Also, the explanation of why the Euthyphro dilemma is a false one seemed circular. It was essentially the first part of the dilemma restated - that good is what it is because god says so. The answer was that's it's OK to think that because god is a perfect moral being, but by what standard? His own from this description, to which you submit. That doesn't get away from the problem.

0. The point of refuting prior "baggage" and essentially keeping an open mind and treating everyone as they were different is a very good one. I do think though, that an educated and well-informed opposition could use said knowledge (not stereotypes, mind) to see where certain arguments and logic stem from. More often though, it does indeed do more harm than good. 1. The premise that "objective morality" exists is a debatable and unestablished one. 2. He just said that morality is influenced by upbringing. Maybe it's because the general consensus, after millenia of human socalization, have concluded that killing is immoral; I would not, however, say that to be absolute or objective. People would call me monster for saying it is not objective, but that's because I acknowledge that I'm influenced by modern society. 3. He says that "if we begin from this axiom, God must exist." (I might be paraphrasing that) Did I not just refute his entire basis with simple reasoning? Hamza is really quite dumb in all his claims of philosophy.

It has the same problem in the OT. It says that a man sleeping with another man "as with woman" is an abomination, but doesn't say to stone them. Worse, gay sex doesn't have either partner "sleeping with" the other as they would with a woman. Men don't have a hoo-ha, so any intercourse ("sleeping with") would be done entirely differently. And, since women don't have a dingaling, intercourse as with a man and woman cannot happen either.
