Langan is undoubtedly incredibly intelligent, and more intelligent than I am. I can give that to him. He's also extremely arrogant, and because he's mostly self-taught he's filled with idiosyncrasies and lacks proper academic review, which is par for the course given that he has no formal education in any of the fields he requires a knowledge base on. Generally, his theory of information-cognition is just rebranded Hindu panpsychism, but wrapped in needless word salad and misused technical terms. It's not the God of monotheism. It also requires essentially defining God into existence, which is probably due to Langan's arrogance, which has repeatedly shown to be his greatest blindspot.

I'll add that since not everyone in the world has even taken an IQ test, we don't know who currently living would have the highest IQ. IQ tests as AlbertaGeeks says, only measure how good you are at taking IQ tests, and since IQ tests were developed in western culture, if you didn't also grown up in that culture you won't score as highly as you otherwise might. It's an appeal to authority, and a fallacy. I've seen a few attempts by Christians at proving biblical claims mathematically, and they always fail abysmally.

​@@lightbeforethetunnel The scientific method is an empirical method for acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since at least the 17th century, It involves careful observation, applying rigorous skepticism about what is observed, given that cognitive assumptions can distort how one interprets the observation.

Each of our personal realities could be what it feels like to be an AI NPC. Nevertheless, even if our universe is created, the universe in which the creator resides stands in equal need of explanation. Let us suppose there is an infinite stack of gods. Whence that stack. Something -- reality -- with or without gods -- just is. If reality is an oscillating situation of mutual causation, whence the pair. Absolute nothing is apparently unstable -- nature abhors nothingness. There is no time for anything to happen. No space for it to happen in. No energy. No light. No matter. Then spacetime and energy.

[@KaiHenningsen]

@@kshinji It's fairly simple, but maybe it's too complicated for you. If we're talking about the Christian god (and we are), he is usually defined to have a number of characteristics. And if you think about it even slightly, you'll realize that the world we see around us is utterly incompatible with these assertions. So that specific god, at least, cannot possibly exist, nor any other with a set of characteristics that are incompatible with the world we see around us. Some of the more critical assertions are the all- or omni-whatever ones. Combine enough of these (two or three are usually enough), and you run into unsolvable problems. For example, consider the problem of evil. Here are several variations of that, each of which prove that a being that combined some of those cannot exist (not just "probably", as LaPC said): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Problem_of_evil

@@Benjamin-yz7jp Unlike you, I wasn't a paid minister. Completely volunteer. No way am I being condescending. My circumstances were different. I was self reliant outside of faith. I was just shunned by friends and family when I left religion. Which is also an issue I am sure you will have to face. I would suggest a couple of things. You're going to need to focus on your own mental health first and foremost. It is a huge change and you will feel a lone and almost abandoned while realizing your whole world view is not the same. The second is to look at the new life as a brand new opportunity to make the life you truly want. Another big one I found is that the reason I was ministering was because I wanted to help people. So finding a good charity or something that will help you retain that sense of community and helping. It is an interesting transition but there are several others who have passed through the fire!

@@AronRa Everyone that is a true born again Christian knows that there is a God beyond all doubt because a true born again Christian has God's Holy Spirit dwelling within them and you can't deny the existence of something that is dwelling within you. You also can't deny being born in the spirit because how can one deny their own birth? When you're born again in the spirit that's a birth of your spirit. Can you deny that you were born physically? No, you clearly can't deny that you have been born physically, well the same thing goes with you're born spiritually, it's something that you can't deny. So, no matter how many videos you do stating the opposite it's a flat out lie due to the above facts of the matter.

And just to be clear, I think you consistently have the most complete and definitive counter arguments to theist claims on KZbin. It certainly wasn’t due to some new and challenging argument from the original video. This was you at your best. Whatever sparked this level of perfection, I hope it continues.

[@98danielray]

@MindCreatedAll nice loaded words you have there. "creator"(implying there is one), "creation"(also the same), "who"ever(no need to repeat myself). pretty sure pulmonary is included within respiratory. also, body is not used interchangeably with skin. obviously they coexist, but that does not add anything to your assertions. you know what symmetry or order means? did you know those words are used in very specific context? do we know what we call when a person uses those words in a more general context? yes, vague. because as far as I know symmetry and order could mean anything here. symmetry of shapes? of specific arrangements? which? if so, do those have biochemical properties aiding them by any means. I suggest you try doing that. after that, more loaded words trying to inject your conclusion at any cost. even an attemp at a primitive cosmological argument?! that has the same problem as the usual ones. firstly assuming you know things are finite and had a beginning(I wonder what that is for? :0). oh, yeah. to imply there is a necessity for things that had a beginning to have a cause, right? so that you could shift the problem(things necessarily having a beginning and needing a cause) to the .. cause itself? but you then, probably copying those apologetic arguments, insert the word "infinite" in there as if there is nothing wrong. but wait?! the whole problem was that we could not make all things be infinite in the first place, otherwise, no need to insert a cause, right? those should be enough reason for rejecting unsound arguments that appeal to cosmology. btw. just to show(again) you know nothing you are talking about. the word in caps, exponential, describes general behaviour of data(or rather, describes a class of functions), not a single comparison between quantities. it does not make sense say one quantity, alone, is exponential when relating to other, because that is the behaviour of a function, at most, a trend of growth, being that the growth is proportional to the current value of whatever you are evaluating. anywa, think twice before writing these things.

[@smoothdooth8784]

@MindCreatedAll I'd love to know your sources on how you got this insider information on how the human body (and everything else) was created. Considering how fallible the bible is in this sense you must naturally have some other form of evidence describing all this in detail, and naturally you would have no issues explaining how and where you got your information. Assuming of course that you were able to find any evidence outside of what is described in the bible, because I'm sure that as intelligent human beings you and I can both agree that any "objective fact" that comes from that book would be laughable.

[@smoothdooth8784]
