      Ha ha ha. Chortle, chortle, snort, guffaw.
      But seriously Venom. You make a statement, yet eschew to actually explain anything about it or why you think it is justifiable.
      You then go on to ask quite the most ridiculously asinine question, that sounds very much as if it is an attempt to get a particular answer with which to apply a disingenuous strawman argument.
      Really, do you imagine there is ANYONE on the damn planet that simply believes EVERYTHING they read in ANY book? How do you imagine that is even a reasonable or constructive question?

      The reason he could talk reasonably to the caller is because the caller "was reasonable." Matt gets a lot of stupid and doesn't want to listen to jerks. Should Matt be reasonable with some idiot that insists that the Earth is flat?

      Making the caller not feel like he's stupid goes so far and it's really a very effective approach. If you make them feel stupid, they immediately get defensive and start to put a wall up. You could tell it would start happening when the guy on the right(sorry, I'm blanking on the name) would say something because it would sound like he was dismissing him. James however, just very calmly guided him through his own thought process and then pointed out where there were problems in his thinking. It's all just planting seeds. You aren't going to fix anyone right now. Just start planting seeds.

Unlike some people (Matt), he doesn't start an argument with the caller and yell at him and beat him down. He listens to the caller, and before he challenges him, just asks him some questions. And he treats him with total respect. THIS is a prime example of what we atheists need more of in the community.

    • @Gericho49
      @Gericho49 4 роки тому

      I'm game, dear boy!! *“Why everyone is a Creationist.”* and thus a believer in God. Whether one asserts a young or old earth, random mutations Vs design, evolution, fine-tuning or chaos, *my major premise is: we inevitably must all be Creationists* Creation(ism) the buzz word of critics, is broadly defined as a belief that a supernatural reality brought into existence all time, space and matter by an act of freewill. Cynics mostly materialists and evolutionists, believe also on faith, that the natural world is all there is, or ever was. Proponents cleverly but fallaciously, centre their attack on fundamentalist religion, which maintains a young earth and a literal 6 day creation. Whether one comes from an atheist or theistic worldview however, we can only explain “why there is something now rather than nothing” from a faith perspective. Darwinian Evolution Vs Creation is of course a false dichotomy since the former says absolutely nothing about origins (creation). *The true debate is really about Darwinism Vs Religion.* Moreover, the former is moot in addressing the fundamental question of origins and existence, as I assert in premise 1) below. 1) There are only two possibilities: For anything to exists now, some previous physical state or states, a) have existed eternally in the past, or b) were created ex nihilo (i.e from nothing in the finite past) This is a *religiously neutral* observation but has profound implications from a metaphysical or transcendent explanation. 2) In whatever past configuration, matter/energy must exist in dimensions of time and space. 3) Position 1b) is the consensus of science (cosmology), mathematics, philosophy (logic) and reason. 4) For atheism to be the default position, then some form of matter/energy must have always existed (be eternal in the past) But this claim I will assert, is not supported by the evidence nor logically possible. 5) *Mathematician* and genius inventor, Dave Hilbert asserts that Infinity [as in infinite past time] is just an abstract idea. *Infinity neither exists in nature nor provides the basis for rational thought.”* An infinite future while a possibility, would be a *potential* infinite but an infinite past if it existed, would be an *actual* infinite. If you dont support Hilbert’s several arguments that there is nothing in the natural realm that can be identified as an actual infinite, I’d like to hear it! 6) Having abandoned his static model *Einstein’s cosmology* embraced the theory of relativity which identified an absolute beginning for all space/time. Atheist cosmologists like Hawking and Krauss recognising the implications of this theory, have retreated into the realm of fantasy to invent natural explanations of how everything came from absolutely nothing in the finitude of past time. There versions of nothing is actually some thing which is refuted by 2) above! 7) *Philosophically* nothing is non existence. An infinite past would demand an infinite regress of past physical states (including the unproven multi-verse theory -See BVG theorem). Moreover, any collection formed by successive temporal events cannot be an actual infinite. Infinity is just a abstract concept, one whose value can never be attained. Moreover, one cannot bridge an infinite amount of time since all available evidence shows time travels linearly. If time was infinite in the past, logically we could never have reached this current point in time (the impossibility of transiting an infinite regress of past events). Ergo the finitude of past time demands a creation event.
      *Conclusions* 1) From any worldview perspective,, the birth of creation from nothing is a miracle that denies scientific explanation. As such we must ALL believe in a “virgin birth” aka existence from no existence. 2) Unless one wants to entertain mindless electrons and protons as the basis of ultimate reality, one is left with the only plausible alternative i.e. ex nihilo creation. Since X cannot create X, the physical realm cannot create itself nor can an abstract Law like gravity cause or create anything (sorry Dr Hawking), Nor Krauss’s quantum vacuum, which is not nothing! 3) One is inevitably left with a cause outside of time space and matter. That is a spaceless, timeless immaterial (and thus a supernatural) reality.) 4) In choosing to create an awe-inspiring, abstract law-abiding, mathematically defined, rationally-intelligible universe, its cause must be rationally intelligent, powerful and personal. 5) Moreover, by creating an incredibly complex, conscious, intelligent being like us, who can question his own existence, marvel at the beauty and biodiversity of creation, with intelligence to decipher its laws and the exquisite math’ that underpins those laws, this is not just any deity, this is a God who cares, who created us and the universe for a purpose. 6) *Whether a certain chapter of a religious text is to be read literally or allegorical is irrelevant to God’s existence and role in Creation.* Clearly Galileo was right in declaring *_the Bible teaches us how to go to heaven, not how the heavens go* Moreover, dear friends, the Bible is a library of books containing many literary genre but was never meant to be a book on science. 7) To cynically suggest Creation in Genesis may have taught an obsessed Darwinian disciple, real science is quite laughable. A science that is “counter-intuitive”, dependent on biased assumptions about homology, numerous fakes, huge gaps in fossil records without any evidence of how life started, a rejection of design and based on dubious historical evidence, is hardly factual. 8) Just how God may have chosen to create man, such as “from the dust of the earth” is irrelevant to His motives and purpose. Moreover, the fact we’re still in the 7th day of Creation would imply a non-literal interpretation of such events!! 9) Moreover, the level of sophistication, design, embedded information and intelligibility in all aspects of creation, totally destroys any suggestion it all came about by blind, random, unguided and mindless processes. The choice is simple: Faith-based common descent or a common DESIGNER. Deep down we all know which is the more believable worldview. 10) Lastly, can anyone truly live out Dawkins’ claim we’re just slaves to a selfish bunch of genes living a purposeless life of pitiless indifference? Everything that truly human nature cant be isolated in a test tube like: beauty, joy, love, wisdom, truth, morality, justice, meaning, hope and destiny, From all the evidence above, I just don’t have enough faith to believe mindless matter is the only game in town! And deep down I believe you don’t either!!

It's like a kid believing in fairy tales, you don't shout at them, you explain to them calmly about reality. Tracy is good too for sure, but Matt is definitely too assertive for my personal preferences.
