some beliefs have become bias and deeply embedded in people's psyche so when you criticize it they instantly perceive you as a sassy, despicable person and it's not about whether its true or not but they just can't let to go of it and therefore accept it. as kafka puts it, by believing passionately in something that still dose not exist, we create it.

Maybe they don't even speak Japanese. They themselves aren't legally Japanese, they only enjoy the cultural side of Japan, so they don't really have any obligation to subscribe to Japanese philosophy, history, or what it means to be Japanese in spirit, even if they do like the culture that came from that philosophy, history, constitution, what have you.

Piers is not listening to Richard, and there are many moments where Dawkins provides a very reasonable and intellectual response for the inability to delve into before the “Big Bang Theory” due to the limitations of knowledge and understanding that a highly educated and experienced physicist might be able to explain. Also Piers’ original statement talking about how Dawkins fails to provide an explanation on what caused the “Big Bang” or what was the situation before the “Big Bang” as being unique to Dawkins’ stance on the theory of evolution and the universe, is utterly ignorant, because this applies to all theories of the universe and the evolution of life before and after the time of creation.

Piers simply can’t accept that there are answers too big for him to wrap his head around without adding unnecessary factors to soften the blow for his lack of comprehension.

@@for-ALLAH-sake You don't get it at all. Nobody is "not allowed to say" anything. What that means is that words like "before" or "after" necessarily refer to time. But if there was no time before the big bang, these words lose their meaning so they stop making sense. This is why it is irrational to speak about what was BEFORE the big bang. It's not because some authority doesn't allow you to say this.

Mr. Morgan seems to be saying if 1 came before 2, and you do not understand 1, then surely you cannot understand 2.
@crftersp50492 ай бұрын
@6:55 ...... Time, as we commonly perceive it, is a construct tied to human experience. The concept of “before” depends on this linear perception of time, which doesn’t exist in an absolute sense but rather as a way our minds organize events. Asking someone about their favorite flavor before they were born is nonsensical because it assumes a linear progression of moments that isn’t universally applicable. Moments aren’t confined to isolated instances; they coexist continuously, even if we can’t perceive them that way.

Saying something was or happened "before" creation is totally logical. Time as we understand it, started at the moment of creation, but it is totally logical to say something was "before" that.

"Well immortal does mean forever doesnt it?" im in absolute stitches.. i think piers perfectly demonstrates the type of thinking employed by people who go through life uninterested in the universe and whats actually going on. Watching him struggle with "before the big bang" and not understanding that the origin of life is completely independent from the origin of the universe.. dawkins is long past his prime and as he states himself isnt even in the same league as some "out of the box thinkers" in physics but the contrast between the two is glaring.
