I am a big fan. Please try and do an interview with Prof Jordan Peterson.

[@lorenzlfk2524]

You were a Protestant and a lab technician?

[@anthonydgallo]

Wow the comments on this vid are so discouraging so here I am hopping in. Thank you Johnathan for trying something new, bringing in a guest that changed your perspective on something, and challenging us to think deeper about something that so much evidence throughout history. Just downloaded They Flew on Audible for my next drive

[@bi.johnathan]

thanks! don't mind the discouragement :) but appreciate your encouragement

[@leandrosanchez1212]

​@bi.johnathan prefered indifferents eh?

[@yankeeskunkee8519]

They sound vaxxed

[@nurfuis]

The examination of the supernatural is how I got into philosophy. I love what you're doing.

[@franciscogallegos6802]

Give this man some water! My mouth dried up just by listening.!

[@pauleastman6654]

Great video. As a person who has personal experience with the subject matter I appreciate the level of research, scrutiny and humility. The need to understand the real vs the demonic is more important than ever before. The level of shamanism, hallucinogenic activity and astral projection is at an all time high. We need Holy Spirit filled Christians who walk in supernatural, biblical and historical authority.

[@DonaldPump2k]

My own experiences with the “miraculous” like astral projection, direct visual encounters with the supernatural, and just life experiences in general really opened my eyes to how little I and we as a species actually *know*, and are now the reason Im obsessed with philosophy. I just love the exploration of unorthodoxed beliefs, regardless of what that may entail. Your channel is my recent find in that journey and I’m enjoying it so far!

[@humbledservant1]

This interview was one of the most interesting and informative I’ve seen recently. The depth of explanation on miracles and science was truly powerful and thought-provoking. It highlights how science and even modern technology cannot explain such phenomena-and that no matter how advanced we become, we can never fully comprehend God; otherwise, He would not be God after all. That is why so many people are turning to the Catholic faith, which stands as the ultimate Truth with certitude and an indefinable depth. Some mysteries simply transcend scientific proof, affirming that faith is not opposed to reason but rather completes it. Faith goes beyond what can be measured or tested by science. •It allows us to grasp deeper truths about God, morality, and existence that reason alone cannot fully explain.

[@twoheadedboy1945]

Praying for you, Jonathan.

[@bipslone8880]

Same amount of evidence that prayers works as for levitation......zero

[@alexandramarco4107]

Jonathon is well aware of mass delusions, and the tendency for humans to join the delusion when all the evidence points to the contrary. Believing something is most common... versus knowing something. Johnathon has always said he is a mimetic creature, and he is exhibiting it.

[@ramonzamudio8126]

Been waiting for this to drop since you spoke about this book in Greece! Congrats!

[@bi.johnathan]

long time coming pal

[@lonniestoute8762]

So glad to hear you guys touched on the "Virtues" of a persons character whom the miricales are manifesting through. I personally think most of us can use more teachings and accountability on our Virtues.

[@Louis.R]

Good on you Johnathan, these are great and varied interview subjects, and always conducted with the highest attention to detail.

[@kinglear5952]

Hey, Bi where did you get that incredibly snazzy jacket? Great interview, by the way.

[@bryanutility9609]

👍🏻 Cool I’ll believe it when I see it

[@BMTroubleU]

Even then, we don't believe magicians are actually performing magic. The paradox is this- Real magicians are fake magicians. Fake magicians are real magicians.

[@williamwallin2708]

If your interested in unexplained phenomena you should also look into remote viewing and outer body experiences. It’s something even our own intelligence agencies where interested in during the Cold War. There is also some scientific literature on religious ephiany, genius and the psychic that would be exciting to see you uncover. Fantastic interview and keep up the great work!

[@lambofgodofwariz]

Awesome interview wasn’t expecting to see something like this from your projects!

[@bartremmelzwaal5775]

“A wise man, therefore, proportions his belief to the evidence. […] No testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous, than the fact, which it endeavors to establish.” - David Hume

[@TomFranklinX]

The problem with this argument is that the existence of the supernatural is not that unlikely in the first place.

[@lallous72]

Thank you for sharing this valuable content

[@lonniestoute8762]

Ima subscribe and see where you go , I am digging ya so far. Merry Christmas Be Blessed +t+

[@katesolanas]

Thanks for the interview. Merry Christmas!

[@whatValuesDoYouLiveBy]

Nice interview and interesting topic. Keep up the good work! ❤

[@jonatasmachado7217]

If science frees itself from the straitjacket of naturalist philosophy and, faithful to its rigorous methods, limits itself to observing, reporting and following all available evidence, we will certainly have many surprises and abandon many "certainties"...

[@bipslone8880]

I don't think you understand science or how it works

[@EriPages]

Anybody else read the title as, "Evidence for Leviathon"?

[@dfwherbie8814]

I feel like this comment section are filled with people who had to have followed you from somewhere else. Because they’re real silly here. Anyway, very good interview. I’ll be the book. By any chance, what’s the name of the Orthodox Church you went to again?

[@bi.johnathan]

St Gregory in penn I believe

[@dfwherbie8814]

@ thank you!

[@healthymealthy775]

It is an interesting topic. So why not listen to it?

[@pedromonteiro3591]

Even as a catholic I was a little bit skeptic at first, but this turned out to be a great conversation. Is there a link for the talk about Christian history with him?

[@bi.johnathan]

coming soon!

It's a Christmas miracle! 😊

[@marcussassan]

Amazing interview. Please dont say double click.

[@williambo5989]

in ancient China Martial arts you can cultivate levitation externally Shaolin Gong fu or internally Wu tang Gong Fu. Even Ang Li director of crouchng tiger hidden dragons talks about this in his directors commentary on the movie. but even though he knows the thoery doesnt really believe it

[@tdog702]

Ugh. Hate I had to stop listening but some interviewees need less sensitive mics. Constantly hearing spit when his mouth opens is not very pleasant . Like smacking but without food.

[@nathanleameister7179]

Yes!!

[@johncameron4261]

Didnt notice until i read your comment. Now cant Unhear it!

[@yankeeskunkee8519]

It is disgusting, it is an inherited trait to be repulsed by that. I have it. Even Terrence McKenna's lip smacking gets on my nerves at times/

[@bettyboossister3918]

😂

[@JuliosStudio]

Lol I’m not trippin. That’s wild

[@francisco444]

😂 icon that drops oil! Humans still falling for this very old trick

[@Alex-uo6kh]

Why he didn’t finish that story about Peter and the magician? Peter see the demons holding the man and commands them to let him go- they comply and he falls to his death. I hate to be one of these people but would not the devil deceive the largest group of “Christians” - the Catholic Church… the orthodox?Both whom are, according to the 5 solas ( the founding principles of Protestantism ), doctrinally wrong…

[@TomFranklinX]

God would also protect the largest group of Christians, so the two concerns cancel each other out.

[@jdlc903]

He talks somewhat slowly, had to speed the conversion

[@mohamadnabole]

❤

[@bajayeb1090]

why GOD does not show himself? Islam: this word is a place for tests and human are under tests revealing make all things meaningless related to this world, reason for creation and next world or heaven and hell, Islam has answer for all your Qs here and whatever else in your mind. then why MR JOHNATHAN not reading the Quran as billions reading it daily at the same time you read simple human authors book cover to cover while dismissing GOD 's book, the most powerful book Quran?

[@bewatchandalert]

"To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. [32] Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - John 8:31-32

[@abadbacknine]

I seriously don’t understand, Muslims believe that god wrote the Quran? Because why? Because Muhammad a pedophile warlord, who was supposed to be illiterate went into the desert and came back with a book? Just look at the world from an outside perspective, 1. The places where Islam is practiced are the most backwards, filled with fighting, and horrible treatment of women, and the youth, if you made a list of countries you wanted to visit a the Muslim countries would be last always. 2. What is the period of time called when the Islamic empire was at its greatest? We call that the dark ages 3. Would you be proud to live the life of your prophet? Because I don’t know anyone who would be proud to marry and bed a 9 year old. 4. If you have to have spread your “truth” with violence and force, then it ain’t the truth.

[@SolAreno-h2g]

The most powerful book is the bible 😊

[@barryc6785]

They Fooled

[@avjebs]

🤦🏻‍♂

[@theconservativeone2690]

The author wrote a history of miracles and this man wants to establish that miracles are supernatural. Very average level podcast.

[@dfwherbie8814]

Dumb dumb western atheist

[@savagemobilelegends6015]

Bro puts a lot of effort on the videos but the quality is average. I mean the way he explains philosophy and his own philosophical opinions are very average. But he uses high quality cameras, good rooms, hire actors to listen to him. Instead improve the philosophical ideas rather than the surface level things.

[@EriPages]

Who are the actors? You mean the interviewees are actors? Also, he's young and only a year old on youtube. Give him time to develop himself and get his groove. No need to write your critiques in a cutting way. You could have re-written your valid critiques within an overall positive commentary, as that is more encouraging and less emotion-inducing.

[@savagemobilelegends6015]

@ maybe you are right. But I had to say what I genuinely feel. And by actor, I mean the people who listen to him in his classroom type lectures.

[@FellowFutureCitizen2013]

Honestly he is able to convey his message well to the audience and that’s great

[@EriPages]

@@savagemobilelegends6015 I am right. It's so easy and cheap to write out negative critique, especially toward a young buck starting out his life journey. It's wiser and productive to couch negative critique within constructive criticism.

[@savagemobilelegends6015]

@@EriPages I feel he must not be getting the views he wanted keeping in mind the effort he puts in his videos. I felt this is the issue so I wrote instead of some fake praises.
