@Raine Riny 7 I believe what is being referenced here are the "Physical Constants", Gravity, speed of light, chemistry etc. The changes you may observe will undoubtedly be caused by different/better methods of measurement plus better improved methods of analysis. The absolute majority of the real world that is measured and described by science will be the same. What it boils down to is method, Better method equals better results. Radioactive decay and chemical reactions will always be the same. As we know science deals with Theories not facts and Theories evolve over time as we learn. As for believing in and connecting with something greater. That's purely subjective, I connect with and view the Natural world as something greater rather than the outdated and superseded, (In my view) supernatural side of the discussion. Besides, we are only talking about 1000 years here. Anyway thanks for your comment.

@Raine Riny 7 That's very interesting, I had not seen that before but it stands to reason as we know that the speed of light changes its speed dependant on the medium that it is travelling in. It travels slower in water than it does in air. Travelling through the different mediums in the vacuum of space is no different. This makes no difference to the physical constant that is defined by science. The speed of light will be 299,792.458 kilometers per second for milenia to come.
@justthetruth8703 жыл бұрын
@Raine Riny 7 You need light to measure its speed and that light has to come from a source. The light from every star in our galaxy travels through differing parts of space then it will be travelling through various different mediums. It stands to reason that the scientists making these various measurements didn't measure the same photons of light. Look, I'm not a physicist and I DON'T write the definitions of these constants, they are termed as constants and taught accordingly but the Speed of light currently is measured to the nearest metre per second and that constant will stay that way for a couple of weeks yet no matter what variations may be present.
@justthetruth8703 жыл бұрын
@Raine Riny 7 I believe I have done my due diligence on this subject and it seems Mr. Sheldrake has very little credibility. Looking over all of the speed of light measurement experiments over the the centuries he has clearly cherry picked the Michelson-Morley period (1926-1949) where there was a very significant margin for error. They came up with a value of 299,796km/sec +/-4 with a margin for error of +12ppm. In 1950 Essen & Gordon-Smith got closer to the exact value when they produced a value of 299,792.5 +/-3 with a margin of error of +0.14ppm. In 1958 K.D. Froome confirmed the previous measurement with an identical value then in 1972 Evernson & others reduced the margin for error to -0.006ppm with their value of 299,792.4562+/-0.0011. Finally in 1983 the exact value was confirmed as 299,792.458km/sec. As I said previously, it's all about the method of measurment. It's called a constant for a reason. Choosing one set of figures and not putting them into context is very misleading and Sheldrake was being nothing but dishonest in his claims. Cherry picking for one's own benefit is too common and it demeans everyone, scientists and we the public. You even bought into his bullshit. As for the speed of light over the life of the universe, the jury is out. There are 2 camps, one thinks the speed of light has slowed and the other camp thinks it hasn't. This as with many other great mysteries will undoubtedly be solved in the future. Thanks for the discussion.
@justthetruth8703 жыл бұрын
@Raine Riny 7 Are you serious. The man cherry picked a data set back in the time when scientists were still trying to put an exact value on c. and didn't even put it into context. We didn't know the precise value of c. back then. We were still learning. The previous experiment done by Rosa and Dorsey in 1907 gave c. a value of 299,710 +/-30 with a whopping margin for error of -280ppm and prior to that in 1862 Leon Foucault calculated c. to be 298,000+/-500 with a staggering margin of error of -0.60% not in parts per million. Don't you see how we have crept up on the precise value for c. over time. The constants have not changed and they certainly haven't changed just because he says they have. You're right, I don't have the credibility to judge him nor do I have the higher education but I am more than capable enough to go back into the scientific literature and and see for myself what he has done. I suggest you do the same. People have agendas and for good examples of this you only need to look at the climate change debacle. Vested interests trying to stifle debate and sway public opinion. This man has no credibility in the mainstream scientific community with his weird and wacky ideas. I have given you the relevant information and in the spirit of fair play I suggest you look it up and confirm it for yourself. Once again to summarize. 1. We haven't always known the precise value of c. 2. The value of c. has taken over 300 years to get to the exact value of c. starting with Romer and Huygens back in 1675 and their figure was 220,000km/sec which is an astronomical -27% out. (why didn't your hero choose that one ?) 3. Methods of measurement have improved over the centuries. 4. This is how we learn. I understand that you don't like this information and choose to believe someone like Sheldrake who is a very good communicator but I urge you to take the time and check for yourself. See that people like him aren't giving you all the facts. Anyway, make of this what you choose, I have nothing further to say on the matter. Stay well and thanks for the discussion.

When listening to Alexis I get more and more confirmed that atheists don't really know what they are talking about. Max Planck: "There can never be any real opposition between science and religion; for the one is the complement of the other. Every serious and reflective person realizes, I think, that the religious element in his nature must be recognised and cultivated if all the powers of the human soul are to act together in perfect harmony. And indeed it is not an accident that the greatest thinkers of all ages were also deeply religious souls." The most remarkable scientists behind the birth of modern science such as Galileo Galilei, Robert Boyle, Michael Faraday, James Maxwell, Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal and Louis Pasteur all believed in the genuine planning which can be observed in nature. Of Nobel Prize winners in science [data 1900-2000] 60% believe in God and most of that 60% are scientists. So it's rather illogical to set science and intelligent design against each other. It's a clearly artificial and non-functioning approach. Johannes Kepler breaks into enthusiasm at being the first to recognise the beauty of God's works. Thus the new way of thinking [science] has nothing to do with any turn away from religion. [Wilber, Quantum Questions, p.41]

Ali a.s. is the first out of the 14 members of the Ahlulbayt a.s. and the first succesor of Mohammed s.a.w.s. (from the 12 total) which only a minority of Muslims follow (10-15%). To be frank with you the main reason why he left was probably because of the hadith books Sunni (majority) Muslims have, they are the definition of psychotic and show the Quran in a dark manner when it's full of light.

When in reality you are talking about a much more complex process that took billions of years. You're twisting the facts to suit your arguement.

Animals don't have metacognition as we humans do, so we must resist the temptation to anthropomorphise them so much. Nobody wants animals to suffer, but if they can be farmed on a small, sustainable scale and in a natural environment without enduring any gratuitous suffering, I don't see a problem with it. There are methods of slaughter which are more like euthanasia than conventional slaughter, most of them devised by Temple Grandin. The animals are exposed to a gas that sends them to sleep, they are rendered insensible to pain, and are killed in their sleep. It's as close as we're ever going to get to killing without a breach of ethics. Veganism is also highly impractical. It has left many people nutrition deficient and they have become very ill, and for a fussy eater like me, veganism simply isn't an option. Autistic people will never tolerate being forced to consume foods they detest. In conclusion, I believe a radical reduction in the human population would be a sufficient measure to make farming and consumption of animal products morally tolerable. Obviously this reduction should exclusively target the bloated, superfluous populations of the third world.

As a Christian Catholic believer, I think there should be no conflict between science and faith, and that they should be perfectly compatible. But dr. Bannister's ideas are completely out of this world! As far as Galileo Galilei is concerned, in one of his works he stated: la scienza dice come “vadia il cielo”, la fede dice come si “vadia al cielo”, which means: science tells us how heaven functions, faith tells us how you get to heaven. Note that in Italian cielo means both the skies (astronomy) and heaven (theology). So I think he was a strong believer. Thank you Alex, with that beard you're even more charming!

The problem with sugarcoating that religion and science don't contradict, is that... it isn't the case, since most religions do have statements about how reality works, and DO contradict reality itself. "Science doesn't contradict religion" but it does contradict that lighting volts aren't from Zeus, Ba'al nor Yahweh. "Science doesn't contradict religion", but it does contradict all creationist myths. "Science doesn't contradict religion" but it does contradict all religious cosmology.

Current science cannot bury religion, and vice versa. I will begin by defining what i will refer to as an "information barrier". An information barrier is a metaphorical or physical barrier that prevents us from coming to any solid conclusions. One such information barrier is history. We have a knowledge of history, but that knowledge is ultimately limited. On the other hand, we have a limited knowledge of religious lore. For example, we have fragments of the Gospel of Judas, but not the entire thing. Our limited knowledge of science, history, and religious lore prevents us from coming to provable conclusions. So, next time you hear an atheist say "Science disproves God", you know they are stupid due to the Dunning-Kreuger effect. The inverse is true for religious people; we cannot prove the existence of our gods, but some of us claim we can. All of this stems from a problem of human ignorance. Eventually, if these information barriers are broken, we may be able to disprove or prove God. But until then, stop acting like you know everything.

Alex, you gave the example of Darwin adding "by the Creator" in his 2nd edition to appease the Christians. That is EXACTLY what happened to our US Declaration of Independence when it says "...endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights." This passage was added to appease the Christians who wouldn't ratify it unless it had God in it. Being that the founders wanted this to be a secular nation and no mention of God, this was the compromise they came up with. Basically, they were forced to include it even though they didn't believe it was the right thing.

Hey, I really appreciate the thoughtfulness you put into your videos. I’m a Christian (I promise I actually think tho), but I’m readily aware that we’ve gotten thrown into a world where there doesn’t seem to be great answers from even the people claiming to have them all, and maybe especially them, so it’s applaudable that you are searching. Anyway, I’ve been following your thought on the ‘force’ behind our life and just wanted to run a thought by you. So, you have said “there is some kind of unseen law that governs the fine-tuning of the universe” and then, “I argue it’s some kind of undiscovered law of physics…” That’s basically where I got with the reasoning out of human life. Like, evolution or whatever had to have some force upon matter to propel it forward. The difference between that and something like a God is the question of intent. Like, does it know it is doing that, or does it have a purpose or reasoning behind its force for life (reasoning coming from a form of mind). It seems like you would agree the question is obviously, “Is this force self-aware?” And so, how do you know if something is self-aware? I think you can only know if it talks to you (at least, if we’re using our logic, which is all we have to go by), maybe there’s a different way though, idk? Regardless, if communication is the way to know intent, then the only real proof one could have for a personal force is by the force communicating with them. Christians make the claim that the force talked to them in our own medium as well as proved he was the ‘force’ by overriding the laws of our universe (death), so it seems like that actually is the only natural step for a God to make, if in fact he is the purposeful force behind our universe. I guess the claims of Jesus’ resurrection would be the next thing to look at? If they are fake then I don’t really see any evidence for the unseen force talking to us, though I’ve looked at psychedelics a little and maybe dreams - the resurrection seems more straightforward though. But, I actually think there is pretty solid evidence for that force communicating with us (basically Jesus). If you have any thoughts on this it would be much appreciated. Like I said, I am a Christian, but I care to be very solid on what I do with my life and so I like my beliefs challenged. I think the video I quoted was 3+ years old though, so I imagine you’ve had some new thoughts on this since then?

How can trust something that was written with a v specific intention? (Convertion) How do u trust something compiled by men, and written by men, and only men? How do explain the Bible saying God created everything, but Christians don't believe God created evil? (If u create everything how can something not be created by u, and if u make a claim abt that creation how can that be changed by the created when they're bond to the wat the creator created?)

Aristarchus and Eratosthenes had already theorised Heliocentrism and Spherical Earth with scientific evidence 1500 years prior to Copernicus. Works of astronomers such as Aryabhata, Bhaskara, Mesopotamian and Chinese counterparts had laid the foundations of modern astronomy. Archimedes, Ibn-Sahl (and many others during the Islamic Golden Period, whose names I can't recollect) had used the same scientific principles to study physics. I mean, I really could go on. The early modern European scientists are responsible for advancing these ideas and creating experimental and quantitative methods which kick-started modern science. Scientific approach has been a continuous (but, limited) endeavour from Mesopotamia, Greece, India, China and early Islam to modern Europeans. The theological underpinnings of Newton is as irrelevant as those of Greeks, Hindus, Chinese and Muslims.

@@FalconFire13 i beg to differ. what i think is mixed here is prerequisites to scientific method and the appearance of the method itself. i wholeheartedly agree that all the above mentioned thinkers sawed seeds which later became scientific method, but none of them in fact used it. empiricism per se is not scientific method, as e.g. aristotle used it only in limited extent, otherwise he wouldn't be later on mentioned for not testing hypothesis (he used deductive logic, but failed to test his conclusions falling to inductive leap trap), which is crucial in scientific method generally. moreover, whether we like it or not, historically, only european society gave birth in that time to the science, everywhere else the seeds failed to produce it. we may discuss why it happened this way (harari made few good points), hardly one can call it eurocentrism or suchs. would we call chinocentrism a fact, that chinese langs is the only major lang family with functionally established "purely" logographic script, although it had been used in many places over the world?

@@janhavlis I think I should've been more clearer. The early modern European scientists are indeed the pioneers of application of the modern scientific method. This is pretty much a universally accepted fact. But, they're not the founding fathers of 'science'. I'm sure you're aware of the the difference by definition. But, it's pretentious of us to draw the line at Copernicus using the scientific method as the basis; considering the achievements of post-classical and antiquity are the substratum of modern science. Either way, when I said Eurocentrism, I meant it for the "founding fathers of science" terminology, which is what the apologist claimed here (and yes, they do mean that), and not the scientific method. I do agree that Harari did mention a few good reasons, but it still needed more nuance. The crux of the point still stands, though. The religious underpinnings of those scientists are as irrelevant as those before them, whether they were empiricists or rationalists or skeptics.

Most of the early scientists were too scared of retribution from the church, so continued on as so-called believers. As the fear subsides, so do scientists start to move away from their entrapment.

You can’t be serious. That fucking jungian is indeed hilarious, but not a „heavy weight“.

@@dionysis_ I had a phase in which I watched his content a lot and the impression I got is that he is heavily influenced by Jungianism. Or what is his form of „symbolism“ supposed to be, if not an elaboration of jungian ideas? If you, for some reason, care so much about him not being a jungian, could you please elaborate on why he isn’t one?

I struggle to see how atheism is a "worldview " . Here's a typical definition: "A worldview is effectively a set of beliefs and assumptions through which someone interprets the world around them". I understand why Christian apologists falsely call it a worldview but apart from not being convinced of any deity, does anything else "bind" atheists? A shared "non belief " can in no way be called a "set of beliefs". Dr Bannister is condescending, arrogant and desperate in equal doses.

It can be a worldview, depending on your definition of atheism. If you believe there is no God, then it's a worldview.

@@emmanuelleon7686 not at all. Knowing someone is atheist doesn't tell you anything else about them except of not being convinced there is a god. A position on one thing can in no way be called a worldview.

@@anthonysmith8800 No, you missed my point, my example was of somebody who uses atheism by the definition of belief there is no God. This tells you a LOT about somebody's worldview, wouldn't you say?
