    Dotoree, you wrote "I think that Christianity is far more rational than atheism since ~99% of the atheists I've met in ~20 years don't even attempt to provide evidence for their faith."
    I won't block you. I"m more than happy for you to make such terrible arguments on my videos. It serves my purpose.
    Yeah, atheism is a faith. Just like "off" is a tv channel.

      It depends on the god. Certainly we can imagine a universe forming due to Bob from Accounting playing Universe Simulator 5000 on his home PC, and Bob might just not care what the sentient inhabitants of his universe believe because they're meaningless to him. Alternatively maybe Bob _does_ care, but because the game is so big he never finds the corner of the universe with life and those various religions.
      But certainly reality is inconsistent when it comes to a god who's omniscient, omnipresent, and cares about our belief/worship. Such a god could and would provide evidence they exist.

      ​@@abdulrahmann.9024 I've heard that. That seems to be a strategy some religions use to avoid criticism. Yet if a religion was truth, why would it need to avoid reasonable skepticism? It wouldn't. A true religion would simply lay down the evidence, and let it speak for itself. Skeptics' questions could be answered honestly.

    I remember being asked (by one particularly vacant, nauseatingly smiley and unreasonably overly-certain born-again Christian woman) their favorite 'old chestnut' of a question :
    *_"But what if you're wrong ?"_*
    I stopped walking past her and acted overly-serious for a few seconds, as if I had never heard of, or thought about the question before and I could already sense the first hints of a different kind of smile start to play about the corners of her mouth, she was apparently thinking that I was about to concede her point or admit that _'I'd secretly always believed in God after all, deep down.'_ or something as equally crazy as that.
    So, still acting with gravitas, I looked deep into her eyes with unusual earnest (and saw worrying little behind that pair of blank, glassy orbs, no unique spark of character or individual personality.) :
    *_'Well, in that case..'_* I said, whilst nodding at her in a slow, slightly melancholy and resigned way *_'I suppose that we'd both better hope that Zeus was in a really good mood.'_*

    • @CrusteeBaguette
      @CrusteeBaguette Рік тому +1

      Well I figure it can be argued that the mathematical improbability is irrelevant, infinite monkeys eventually write Shakespeare. We have no idea how many failed big bangs there might have been the fact of the matter is that the only way we could ever end up perceiving things the way they are is if everything happened the way it did. Mathematical probability is meaningless in a space where time isnt a factor, how many universes formed that didn't have the necessary foundations to create life? How many died off before we came along? Whos to say ours is even as good as it could have turned out? We may never know.
      Theism and worship is nice in the vaccum assuming that we were special or different in some way but the instant you think you might not be all that unique in the grand infiniteness of it all, the concept kinda falls apart. So what if there is a god? Who gives a shit? Is a being that has immense power somehow worth more than your average rock or tree? Jeffery Bezos has immense power over my life and existence, does that deem him worthy of my worship? Does the scale of the power even matter in the end? Weather I get shot by a hitman or "divinely" smitten im dead either way so whats the difference? But nihilism is just toxic atheist propaganda so i guess thats a moot point.
      P.s. "it exists so it must have been created by god" is such a silly argument. god can always have been without a need for a creator but the universe cant have just been without the help of God, hypocrisy at its finest.

      Why do you believe that Jesus really got resurrected? It's because it's "written in the bible"? You probably know that the bible is a really old book, which means that in order for it to be preserved, it had to be copied many times by multiple people. You probably also know that humans are flawed, so mistakes can happen and information can be written down incorrectly.
      Therefore, it's not farfetched to assume that the bible, due to it's age and the fact that it was preserved by humans, not by a powerful and perfect being, has mistakes in it.

If I choose to believe I am immortal and not die or that I can start flying or my car won’t run out of gas will it still happen? Yes it will because the truth doesn’t care about what you believe in, I don’t think you even choose to believe in anything you don’t have much control over it, if you have a basic knowledge of how something works you can’t choose to believe against it.Kind’ve like knowledge you wish you could unknow.

That way, no matter how many times your prayers do not come true, the Con can say it was because you TESTED him.

      Exactly.

That way the universal constants could have reached optimal values that balance the universe.
      In the end, it's just one of the infinite possible reasons for our universe's existence. To find out what really happened, we will have to keep aside all supernatural, illogical possibilities and think with reasoning and logic.

    It just means that it happened eventually, and that's why we're all here.
    For all we know, there were millions of big bangs before, and the factors just did not work out in our favour until now.
    Fairly similar to why we've only found life on Earth...so far:
    Because there's bound to be life on some planet at some time given the sheer size & diversity of the universe would yield nearly infinite possibilities.

Another problem with the wager is that it seems to be the same as essentially taking out "heaven insurance" ("can't hurt, right?... just in case") with no real belief or faith behind it; it's a calculation, not a revelation.

      To be a theist, you have to make several assumptions without evidence. To be an atheist, all you have to do is not make m those assumptions and accept reality as it is. If kids were not indoctrinated into it, I dare say most of them would skip the assumptions altogether. Kids are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.
      I was raised in a religious home, and you could probably say I believed in god as a kid, just as much as I believed in Santa and the Easter Bunny. My family eventually told me the latter two were fake, but the first, totally real. Well, it doesn’t really take a genius to connect the dots. I didn’t have a massive de-conversion moment. Over time I just dropped the assumption of god’s existence because without evidence, there was no reason to hold on to it. As one might say of Santa or the Bunny, I just outgrew God. I didn’t need to lean on an imaginary being to explain anything.
      If not forced into their parents beliefs, but instead taught critical thinking and allowed to make up their own minds, I honestly think most kids would reject religion.

      +B0badenvero8 Well first, that's contingent on your definition of "nothing", and second, just because we don't have examples of other universe's being created - using these examples for documentation and study - doesn't mean that we can automatically assign our inception to something supernatural or beyond our recognized dimensions. That's an argument from ignorance, and it's similar to the facile watchmaker analogy. We merely haven't reached the scientific point where we can definitively assert that we know the answers to these questions, but an equally valid question would be: what examples of other supernatural deities do we have to compare to the one that supposedly made us and our universe? All I'm doing is siding with the null hypothesis until evidence, not speculation, is presented in a scientific manner.

    • @GReid-ol5gk
      @GReid-ol5gk 8 років тому

      ***** What logical explanation? One that consists of an unfounded and unsubstantiated belief in a deity that hasn't been seen nor detected whatsoever by anyone, ever? All you're doing is appealing to complexity and ignorance. Just because you don't understand something or something is complex doesn't mean that a deity is responsible for it. That's absurd to assume that without evidence, hard evidence. That's the personification of irrational.

    • @GReid-ol5gk
      @GReid-ol5gk 8 років тому

      +B0badenvero8 Again, if you're going to insist on appealing to complexity or ignorance, then we have nothing to debate. I'm not going to keep reiterating that neither complexity nor being unaware of all the complexities this universe has to offer = deity. Without even knowing it, you made my point. Before we knew and understood electricity, it was thought that supernatural forces made lighting appear and disappear. Your stance is basically insinuating that they were justified in asserting that a deity caused said lightning. Reality and science shows otherwise, even if it took us longer to understand exactly what electricity was. That's why your argument is facile. No, we don't know EXACTLY how the universe formed, but we can make some damn good extrapolations based on evidence and mathematical calculations. Inserting a deity into the equation is superfluous.

    The non-sequitor is being made whenever a believer in a particular branch of theism uses those arguments to "prove" their god's existence.
    If you're against non-sequitors, as I guess you are, you have a whole lot of religions out there to take issue with over this matter. Tell THEM to stop using deistic arguments to promote theism.

    It presents a false dichotomy (this happens a lot) that 'if so and so were different, there won't be a universe' How would theists know that? It'll be different sure, but won't there still be a universe? Who's to say that life won't form?
    The only certainty that there won't be a universe if everything that was is and will be discovered . No constants of any sort, no form of energy or matter. Just complete and utter nothingness from which no patterns can emerge because there is nothing form those patterns

And in the triune, one of them took earthly form..? Lived and died..? And resurrected.. They threw out the old laws and follow new belief but hold to the old laws as a reminder and a connection to show the continuity of religion ; For muslims, it is very simple just like what the bible says in the early books God is the Only, Unique noting like him.
