You can even ask if he can create something he can't create. If he can't, he's not omnipotent because he should be able to do that, but if he can, well he's not omnipotent. With omnipotency comes all kinds of paradoxes, it's simply not possible :)

[@Rayven10]

The ad on the video for me: "Become an Official Pastor. Christian Minister Registration. Register Now" Oh the irony

[@Rayven10]

***** What's the difference? If I'm not watching the ad on TV, then there is no message and thus no selling something to me that I don't want. Same with AdBlock. I don't want the ads - I *NEVER* click on internet ads. Why not just skip the crap? If I am watching a video like this, it's pretty obvious that I have no interest in becoming a Christian Minister. And if I can stop any ad money from going to that kind of thing, I'm all for it.

[@amberreed5324]

Skipping ads are fine, they make the ads (in this particular case, a Christian organization) give money to the creator (in this case, NSC). Add block blocks money from the advertiser to the creator. This is especially important if the creator is small, like NSC is, because if this is his full-time thing (which KZbin is for a lot of people), then they need the money to live. +Rayven10 You don't have to click on them, you should let them play for the 5-30 seconds that they're unskipable, though. That way the creator of the video gets the money they worked towards. When you mute the tv/radio, it still reads that you're watching that ad and the tv company gets the money to pay their creators. TL:DR Stop being ignorant about advertisements.

[@Rayven10]

Well, in this particular case, I'm OK with blocking the ads entirely because I do not want to support, in any way, the efforts to promote a religious ideal. If anything, I'll help to work against that. As far as other ads, perhaps they should develop another business model that doesn't rely on ads, or other such thing. The TV or radio being muted and me skipping the ad here does exactly the same on my end: stops me from having to listen to someone trying to sell me something I don't need or want. I control what I hear, and if the advertisers want to reach me, they should find a better way.

[@AbandonedVoid]

Advertisements don't even really work for me. There's occasionally the inventive product that might have some use to it, but it never piques my interest or needs enough to actually get one. If I want something I'll go looking for it, making a CGI dog say it's a great product doesn't make me want to buy it any more or less. I never quite understood why it would for anyone.

God=complex, therefore by christians logic, complex things can exist without a maker. Checkmate

[@jamescopeland2663]

Gay Jesus One point does not checkmate a religion I take you're piece with my Bishop.

[@AbandonedVoid]

+Jame Copeland No, I'm pretty sure most religions can be checkmated by a single point, and normally that point is pretty mundane or obvious. There's a plethora of single points that completely debunk Christianity, and any one of them makes the entire religion utterly devoid of meaning. For instance, if souls don't exist (which they don't) then how exactly is your soul going to make it into Heaven or Hell, one of the main premises of Christianity? The issue is, a lot of people backpedal once they realize their religion is full of holes, and start trying to claw at unfalsifiable tenants, even though the original religion is pretty clear in what it's saying. OP is completely right, if the world is so complex that it requires a creator, then that creator would also require a creator. It's part of the Clockmaker Fallacy and is an issue that literally nobody can argue against because it's entirely logically sound and on a solid foundation, and if held to be true means that a good portion of religions are utter nonsense.

[@jamescopeland2663]

Abandoned Void I can agree with the clockmaker thing but at the same time something had to exist before the universe logically right? I am sure you can see how that is also an infinite loop of "well something had to come before this"

Back then everybody got nailed on extractions of the acacia tree (a common element in DMT), which when smoked or drank in a broth or brewed like tea makes people trip their heads of in to oblivion causing visual and auditory hallucinations - one example being Moses and the burning bush... the hallucination from acacia can cause a person to see distortions in light levels with bright and heavy "auras" around objects which could explain why the bush appeared to be engulfed in but no consumed by fire. Also other effects of the acacia high are auditory hallucinations - hearing voices and having conversations with people who aren't there - god's voice in the burning bush maybe?

S reminds me of the first times i smoked weed and it seemed like I and my friends, also stoned, understood the mening of life. So someone would writeit down and the next day we would look at it and it would say something like everything belongs to something else, or everything changes except time. It all seemed to make profound sense at the time but was actually kind of stupid.

[@NonStampCollector]

One of my written-down weed insights was that the thing in the solar system that's more powerful than the sun.... is CURTAINS. They block the sun.

Or, Eve was just a transexual clone of Adam 🤙

The great debate is the best NSC video and this one is the second best...

[@icecrystal7965]

The thing that made the things for which there is no known maker Brilliant But They missed the obvious explanation for what made it It's the thing that made the things for which there is no known maker So, it made itself

[@pterafirma]

Or for short, "TheThingThatAnswersEverythingYetExplainsNothing".

[@ralphmunn1685]

It used to be that "I don't know" was an existential threat. Now it's just a little humbling, but we STILL won't say it.

I don't have a clue what you're talking about... and that's why that sounds amazing! I believe!!

[@melbournemeliodas215]

I almost thought it was gibberish

[@BluePhoenix_]

This video is basically: What if WLC was two people?

[@FriedrichHerschel]

You need a short, catchy name with just a few letters? How about ... Tim?

[@jt9300]

He's so powerful and magical that he can make a virgin pregnant 🤣 I didn't know it required so much power and magical abilities

[@puirYorick]

...except babies. Drunken logic - just define a placeholder entity into existence. We'll give it a handy name tomorrow. Maybe we should make matching robes for ourselves to wear. Should some of us ponder this thing for sixty or seventy years then start scribbling this stuff down on tablets or something as best we can recall.

[@kltn3315]

he's the ultimate scapegoat!

[@AdonanS]

How much of the video's runtime is taken up by them just saying his name?

[@q1000101]

This is absolutely brilliiant. Very well done as always, NSC. I love how you include the bible references. I read the bible cover to cover for the first time earlier this year, and your videos were a welcome commentary along that strange journey. As far as the answer to everything, why not just call it 42 and be done with it?

[@Lattrodon]

seasons have been understood for thousands of years. its very easy to track the position of the stars year round. and the shortening and lengthening of the daylight in a day.

[@WhoThisMonkey]

So basically the God of the gaps.

I think the frame at 7:32 is the funniest image I have seen all day

[@AdonanS]

What's wrong with saying, "I don't know"?

[@paganphil100]

Adonan the Stoic: There's nothing wrong with saying "I don't know"......that's what atheists say but creationists would say "God did it" instead of just admitting that there are things they don't understand.

[@godminnette2]

People ascribing events and things in the world to spirits, gods, or one God is a side effect of the reason the human psyche created such myths. People wanted power, they wanted to feel like they could do more, and so there had to be something they could do, like communicate with a higher being, to give them more power over an area of their life. First, in most cultures, everything had a spirit, and that is what would be communicated to for greater power over that being or thing. Spirits turned to gods, and most cultures now believe in a one God. As time went on, people began to ask questions of those who held power, which ended up being the imagined power of communicating with these beings. And, of course, why pass up the opportunity to gain more power in people's lives by claiming that your spirit or deity was responsible? After all, if you didn't know the answer, then it must be this deity (as per the video). Over time, as the Enlightenment and subsequent intellectual changes to human society occurred, we were able to offer real answers to these questions. Well, some offered explanations before this, but reasoning was a dangerous thing when religions held most or all of the power, and the word of the faith against you would be the end of your life in one way or another. Anyways, despite the explanations being constantly explained (no, a god does not throw a weapon to cause lightning, etc.), people constantly hold to the notion that surely every other thing we don't yet know is due to a deity. It's so mind-bogglingly silly.

[@SpicyCurrey]

Love the "our god is an awesome god" parody at 4:22

[@NonStampCollector]

It's always been a favorite.

[@danielgreen2788]

we are sooo dumb

[@reconteam91]

Great job in educating. Good on ya!

[@DocBree13]

I love how it shows how ridiculous the Kalam cosmological argument really is (à la William Lane Craig) - just define god into existence 3:56

[@mattthomas3523]

This is brilliant. Thank you.

[@georgspengler3573]

It's funny, but it's no way the real history of religion. Stone age cultures are NOT creationist. Luckily a number of stone age cultures survived until recently. There rarely is the notion of a god that "designed" everything. In Australian mythology every feature of nature has its story, but not a "maker". A certain river valley may have formed because the Rainbow Serpent happened to come along, but there is no purpose involved, things just happen. This kind of thinking is closer to modern science, than to creationism. Both ask the question: what is the origin of that and that, instead of asking who made it and why.

[@whitecreamymilk8436]

you are merely dividing monotheists from deists and pagans, theyre all the same, the only difference in semantics.

[@georgspengler3573]

I actually don't understand what you mean. My only point was: the question after the "origin of things" is universal. The question after the "creator of things" is more special and not found in every mythology. Not every religion has a conscious purposeful creating agent (=God). So how can they be all the same when they are different.

[@whitecreamymilk8436]

again, you separate deists from theists.

[@georgspengler3573]

I do not even talk about deists. But since both, theists and deists, believe in a purposeful creating agent, I even equated them. I rather distinguish them from origin stories, that do NOT apply such an agent. Could give you examples, but don't know if you care

[@maxwellsimon4538]

Yeah, but most Stone Age cultures agree that gods and goddesses were heavily involved in the creation of the world. They might not believe that the world was created for us by an all perfect and all loving being, but they do believe that the world was made by them. Another interesting thing is that I don't think I've ever heard about an ancient mythology that tries to explain where the primordial material came from, it just existed

[@nyhyl]

The logic of this video just makes so obviously perfect sense. How can't see people through this fallacies and their own deceptions?

[@peterteddy2313]

the great tongue twister

[@asdfghyter]

I thought it was 42. :S

[@SudoBurger]

Somehow I thought it was gonna end with a bit like "Jehovah!" "Ooh, nice one! But that's at least three syllables..." "Yahweh!" "Perfect! I like it!" "I dunno, SOUNDS good, but that doesn't seem like the kind of name that screams 'creator of the universe' or anything. Seems like a 'Yahweh' would be principly concerned with storms, or, or one particular group of people or something..." "Alright, well I'll save that one for later. Anyone else have any suggestions?" "El!" "Good God, that's fantastic! Almost just a single letter!"

[@ATM313]

Reminds me of a certain group of people
