      Scientific theories are not, by definition, mutually exclusive, unlike religious belief systems. The "gods" of absolutist states are their leaders, so Marx plus Lenin or Mao or Kim whoever. Hope your refutation of logical thought are more considered in your book son. If they're not perhaps you'd do better listening and thinking than laughing smugly, and publishing. Just a thought(I'm an atheist, so I'm allowed to think)

      Are you paying someone to teach you this stuff?
      This is why Joe Rogan couldn't write a book that wouldn't read exactly like any book from any atheist in existence. Can you name one famous book by an atheist? How about the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx?
      "Communism begins where Atheism begins." ~Karl Marx 1850's
      Not even 100 years after the inception of a government based in atheism, over 100 million people starved to death in Communist Russia between the 1940's and 1970's. Communist China needs child labor and corner cutting in production to keep up with nations founded in religion.

The structure and behavior OF DNA is therefore mathematically describe-able. This is informative of the origins and purpose of mathematics, but not of the proteins so described. I deduce, perhaps unreasonably, that a little honesty would prove a more useful tool for you than the vituperative rhetoric you attempted to employ above. If reason is truly your aim try, like any good scientist, to fault and refute your own argument. If you, honestly, cannot see the flaws then trumpet it publicly.

      @Kenny Bugh one can make statements that on their face seem true, but because of categorical conflicts are in fact not true. To conflate an atheist’s position on a thousand topics from creation, sin, morals, law, or even having a metaphysic that even supports the intelligibility of these arguments/assertions with that of any theist is categorically different from comparing theists to theists and the same would bode for theists to polytheists. Crossing or whistling past categories does not a truth make. It would all actually be logically incorrect yet your claim was that there are “logically correct”; I guess in so far as you reject logic. Which by the way an atheist really has no metaphysic to ground that in to begin with.

      Well, thanks for trying to meet me partway. I wish I could do the same. But, I'm sorry, I can't.
      Well, maybe not true. For example, you say,
      *"It's what we call in Philosophy an inductive argument."* I'm not sure if it is or not. I'm not even sure what you are claiming is the argument.
      *"If everyone believes the same thing, which is that their God is the right one and all of the other ones are wrong, it suggests (not proves, but suggests) they all might be equally mistaken."* I'll happily grant that God may not exist. I'll also refute the idea that 999 wrong ideas about God, implies anything about the 1,000th idea about God. It is like 999 wrong answers about 1+1 has nothing to do with the 1,000th idea about 1+1. Nothing.
      *"Your task is to explain why they're wrong about their Gods and you are not wrong about yours."* Who made you the assigner of tasks? As I see it, I took it upon myself to comment on the ludicrous conclusion arrived at by Rogan and Dawkins.
      *"One of the best arguments Christians can put forward is that Judeo-Christian societies tend to flourish, which suggests that their value system has merit."*

      @@samdg1234 " I'll also refute the idea that 999 wrong ideas about God, implies anything about the 1,000th idea about God." That's the wrong framing, as you should know, since it's not 999 and then a 1000th... it not even 9,999 and then a 10,000th... It's not about the *AMOUNT* of claims, it's about the *equality* of the claims. Put another way, the jew when asked who is right and wrong, he'll say "The Jews are right, the rest are wrong", the Muslim when asked who is right and wrong, he'll say "The Muslims are right, the rest are wrong", the Christian when asked who is right and wrong, he'll say "The Christians are right, the rest are wrong"....
      the Atheist when asked who is right and wrong, he'll say "I agree with *ALL* them about the rest being wrong". And when asked, what is the actual answer "everything" would reply "I don't know. I haven't been convinced of an answer yet."
      So far, there has yet to be *ANY* religion that has produced any kind of *ACTUAL* widely convincing evidence of their claim, otherwise, there wouldn't be such a debate between religions. This is what _Suggests_ but does not "Prove" that at least they are all incorrect about something, if not everything.
      "Your task is to explain why they're wrong about their Gods and you are not wrong about yours." - Obviously this only applies if you are one of the "Only my religion is correct and the rest are wrong/mistaken" people as they are the ones making a claim about their religion being correct.

      Let's see if we can reason together.
      You say, *"It is a home run."*
      Should we not begin with clarity on what Rogan (and therefore us) are referring to as a home run?
      It is to conclude that there is an irresistible inference that one possible answer among 1,000 possible answers *should* be ruled out because 999 out of the 1,000* has* (supposedly) been ruled out. This appears ludicrous. It certainly appears to me to depend on what your presuppositions are. If, for example, you assume there are no right answers - well then you don't have to even look at any of the 1,000. They have been ruled out before even beginning. If you are on the other hand assume or even perhaps know that there is a right answer - well then after the elimination of the 999, you know which is the right answer. And if you are open only to the possibility of there being a right answer, you have to look at all 1,000 before drawing your conclusion.
      Have you heard of 'the cup' game? (32 second video) *ua-cam.com/video/9bto_3Z1dqc/v-deo.html* It's not rocket surgery. What is the most number of guesses you require to *know* the answer? On what basis have you concluded differently about the 1,000 possibility question?
      You go on to say, *"It's arrogant for you"* It is not clear from your usage that you understand what the word 'arrogant' means. I am not offended by the accusation. First, though, supposing you are correct, and I am in fact arrogant, what does this do to my point? Can an arrogant person not be correct in any truth claim they assert? And secondly, what have I said that causes you to believe that I am arrogant? With due respect to you, it appears you may be the one displaying arrogance. For example, from what statement of mine do you conclude that, *"you to believe in one god"* I don't see from what I've said here that you have any justification for drawing that conclusion. Do you do so because you consider it anathema that an atheist would point out flaws in the reasoning of another atheist?
      Further with your comments, *"Why is Krishna or Allah not the real god?"* Where did I say that they aren't? and, *"You are just as wrong about our origin"* What comments are you reading? Where have I said anything about 'our origin'?
      I leave it at that for now. I don't think I'll suggest you as an umpire for the world series given your generosity in awarding 'home runs' 🙂

    The logic underlying their argument is something like this: 1+1 cannot = 2 because it doesn't = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, etc. In other words, if there are many incorrect answers to a question (does God exist, which God is real?) your answer can't be true either. Except...1+1 is 2, despite the fact that it isn't 3, 4, 5, 6 or anything else. The appeal to a preponderance of bad answers to a given question doesn't make any other attempt to answer the question wrong in principle.

To Joe, it's all about one belief system being favored over another. For the Christian, it ISN'T about having weighed one belief system or religion against another; it's the reality that God apprehended our lives against our fleshly will.

Little did he know that the words he spoke, the faith he had, were not instilled in him by some unseen, all knowing cosmic entity, but by the people he trusted along his journey to mold his understanding of reality. His faith, precious as it was to him, originated from the ideas of men. His God, despite his claims, could not take credit for what he thought, what he felt, for if any such being truly existed they too would know no such Devine power had ever approached him here in this reality we all exist within, but people had, and with them, their ideas, their beliefs. No, his faith was not in a god, but in the people he loved, admired, faith that they spoke truth because they also spoke with love. As humans always have.”

So you mean to tell me that all these unrelated tribes the world over had the same origin story but the atheists choose to get bent out of shape about the one in the bible? Or maybe the best explanation is that the biblical story is true and it's primary purpose to shed light on God's judgment and mercy.

    There are millions of males that could have been your biological father. You believe that one is. You don't believe in any but one. How sensible is it for me to suggest that I, believing that you don't have a father is just me believing in one less potential father than you? Or, you believe that 1+1=2. There is an infinite number of wrong answers to that question, eg. 3, 4, 5 ... etc. Does it seem reasonable for me to assert that your belief in 2 being the correct answer is just you believing in one less incorrect answer than me and that therefore it is reasonable to assume that the answer 2 is just as incorrect as all the others on the mere basis that any other 'answer' is wrong?

The Greek word for that communicates that they expend great effort to suppress. Like, imagine a giant spring that's so big it takes every muscle in your body to hold it down. That's the measure of effort humans routinely expend to deny what they already know to be true. These two clowns are trapping themselves in a self-evident tar-pit of absurdity.

      It doesn't take many hoops at all to jump through to deny Christ. It all comes down to fear and the unknown. The power of belief is massive and can also be scary as hell to watch from the outside. Its also how so many awful things happen everyday across the world. Its what they genuinely believe to the core. There is no true critical thinking involved. You cant critically think your own beliefs. Its terrifying. Thats why. I grew up in Pentecostal church and it has forever scarred me of how terrifying beliefs and the effects can have on so many.

    • @possumhunter1179
      @possumhunter1179 Рік тому

      @@Daddy-ep8ng It all boils down to how you believe, or the means via which anything that's believed is believed. There is a rationality intrinsic to every human. The human problem is that everyone has varying degrees of capability related to their own rationality. The mind-bending reality is that no one can explain a first cause. Can there be an effect without a cause? Of course not. Nothing comes from nothing. To say otherwise violates the law of noncontradiction. If that's so, then why isn't it natural for one person to convince another person that Christ's explanation of the uncaused Cause is correct? Well, believing Christ Himself -believing what He says- isn't something anyone is capable of doing on their own. (Eph. 2:8). Before anyone says that's circular reasoning, we need only compare and contrast the irrationality of humans with the rationality of the created order. The evidence is plain in natural revelation. (Rom. 1:19, again). What's more, is that the more the human denies the things that are plain, the more irrational they become. (Rom. 1:24; Dan. 4:33). Animals aren't rational. If a person wants to keep on stubbornly knocking their head against the wall and deny it's there, they'll be allowed to lose their minds. This behavior is called "suppression." The Greek uses a verb for suppression that indicates the mashing-down of a mighty spring. It takes alot of mental effort to deny things that are self-evident. (Rom. 1:18).
      The issue with pentacostalism has to do with what spirit we're dealing-with, here. Is it the Spirit of Truth that installs a living, saving faith and real belief in what Jesus says is true and a real trust in Him and His words, or is it another spirit? Any other spirit will deceive. (1 John 4:1). The way to test these spirits is to compare their truth claims to the claims of the Word, since Jesus really lived and taught specific ideations. (Acts 17:11; 1 Thess. 5:21). So, there is a mandate to measure truth claims systematically against Scripture, as the Bereans did. No amount of emotional experience can verify anything factual.
      I remember a Pentacostal woman who came into our church service and sat for a while, then got up and proclaimed, "The spirit has left this place," before exiting prior to the sermon. Well, if she's referencing a spirit of emotionalism and irrationality, I certainly hope so. I wish she'd stayed and listened to some exposition of God's Word. But sadly, she didn't.
      I was in a conversation with an atheist some weeks ago. He admitted, as did Einstein, that there had to be a First Cause to all that is. But, he denied that a "singularity," or whatever label used, could be known, because there's no common point of reference. I would say that of course we, in ourselves, can't know. We would need a witness, at least. There was a Witness. A man, actually. The means, or sign, by which His word is verified is the "sign of Jonah," as He Himself said. His death, burial and resurrection.
      At MIT some years ago, they attempted to "beam" a molecule, and advertised it as "Star Trek" tech. In reality, they used tons of electricity to make a facsimile - proving that all matter must have two elements to exist: data and energy. Or, Word and Power. (John 1:1-5; John 1:14). So, we see an all-knowing, or omniscient Word, and unlimited, or omnipotent Power.
      So, we're not talking about fear at all. (2 Tim. 1:7). The spirit of fear is deceptive. And we're not talking about lack of knowledge, either. We're talking about what is known. The Christian faith is inimitably rational. (1 Cor. 15:1-8) (1 Cor. 2:1-2). What's easy to see is the irrationality round-about us. It's not irrational to rely upon eyewitness accounts of the events validating the truth claims of Jesus of Nazareth. There's more historical record of His death, burial, and resurrection than there is of the life of Julius Caesar. Humans either believe Him, or not. But belief can't be spurious. There's lots of broad-path options out there about Him that aren't true. But, He is the only Way. (John 14:6). And few find it. (Matt. 7:13-14).
