@@billiefarmer1492 wow, your knowledge against what I said had so much detail all in two letters. It really shows how much you know in "no", not much at all.
When you think of a genius response after the conversation is over...
Tim's a dumbass so where was some "genius"?

@@ethann6573 says the person who can't apologize for your error. Just keep on being an idiot.
@@stewdog7787 the whole song is based on something silly and individual said him, and he makes it as if that person represents a whole.
Around 3:00 Tim, "...because I haven't yet been offered enough evidence to allow my doubts. And he said, You just don't go through your whole
life only believing things for which you have evidence. And I said Yeah."
Now, the topic is God. Tim makes it clear there's not enough evidence for proof in God. The person he draws his whole stupid song is a fool.
Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Hes not wrong. I remember reading some words written by a surgeon. He said, and I'm paraphrasing, that after spending 4 years pre graduate, 3 years post graduate and 4 years specialising: every successful, life saving/changing operations, the family would thank the Lord, but God forbid (pun intended) anything went wrong, then God played no part in that. That was all on the highly trained surgeon
Well you can't sue God can you.😊
@@startrekker5888Pretty certain there's a film based on that idea...
Lol if I was surgeon I'd tell the family they're mistaken... "God gave them the condition to test them and you brought them here to me to subvert God's plans and remove this condition set by God... Family... What we did here is the Devil's work and you should be thanking him instead". Of course religious people are delusional and hypocritical, so they'll just deny that and choose whatever the scenario best suits them.
Yes sir/ maam. Religion does do that. But have you read the example of Job which is presented in the Bible as how to react to loss? How about the fact that Jesus willingly allowed himself to be executed in the worst possible way? Study it if you have the bravery and honesty to really see and understand what was done....
I dare you to watch the Passion of the Christ
and see a small portion of what God did to settle the debt of OUR sin.
P.S. it is supported historically by " non believers"
@@tmorton922 The story of Job is possibly the most fucked up in the entire 'good' book, so interesting choice there …
I could just imagine Sam's reaction. Sitting there, arms folded, blank look on his face, "Well, you didn't have to be a dick about it!" Ha ha.
Paul TheSkeptic or you could have just told me that wasn't enough evidence.

I have only watched a few videos of Tim's and he's freaking amazing, but to see him perform his unique songs with an entire orchestra is truly impressive!
My mom had a stroke last September that paralyzed half of her body. My dad and all of their church prayed for months for her recovery. She refused to take her medications because God was going to heal her.
She had another stroke in January that led to permanent brain damage, leaving her in a hospital bed in her living room, all the while my dad prayed for God to intercede.
She passed away three weeks ago after going into a coma for a weekend.
If only she had an eye problem God could have healed her like he did Sam’s mom.

It is clear creation had to be done supernaturally yet it is still denied because people are just too proud to accept that, among other things.

"Love without evidence is.. well.. stalking"
-Tim Minchin
Actually this one I first heard from either Dawkins or Krauss
He's saying if you believe and act as if someone else loves you when you have no evidence that they do, then it's stalking.
@@NYsummertimeCHI Kinda impressive that @Dan ofDunolly reinforced your point before you made it. Though your definition is kind of centered on celebrity stalking, rather than the kind that's most common - being stalked by someone you know, who you probably have had to reject several times. But I would agree that's closer to the type Tim is invoking in that lyric.
But talk about an excellent example of how language around matters of consent is very important, and when we as a society use language that supports the predator more than the victim, it's only making things worse. Because, while I'm sure Dan was being sarcastic in saying stalking is proof of unrequited love, that's genuinely what some people would argue is linguistically correct. But they'd be wrong.
Evidence of unrequited love is when the claim of love is made and the other person rejects it or otherwise makes clear that it's not returned - or in the case of celeb or distance stalking, the evidence is that the stalker thinks they genuinely love a person they do not know. People all across the globe love someone who doesn't want them, and they just move on or pine in private, without doing anything that could make the person they claim to love feel uncomfortable, creeped-out or genuinely afraid for their safety. They do not stalk or otherwise harass, and their love isn't lacking in evidence for it.
Stalking is proof that it's not love at all, but obsession and compulsion that's born of a need to control or possess what you cannot have, much how domestic violence is about the need to control what you are afraid of losing. Just like rape isn't about sex, stalking is not remotely about love or affection. Because if you actually love someone, you want them to be happy, even if what would make them happy is never seeing your face again.
@@Yliandra well written, thank you.
Yliandra thank you for that comment
I was raised Southern Baptist in the American South. When I deconstructed my faith and became an atheist it really upset a lot of my Christian friends. They would ask me questions that, although annoying, were sincere and I was happy, or perhaps more accurately "obliged" to answer them. I was once asked if I didn't miss the wonderful feeling that Christians get when listening to "praise music". I tell them that I have music that gives me those feelings as an atheist and then I point them to this video. This is atheist praise music of the highest quality!
What made you become an atheist?
@@gorb_oron Reading the Bible, studying science and being immersed and marinated in Christofascism growing up in Mississippi drove me out of the Christian faith. Once that happened and I felt liberated and free to form my own mind, I discovered that atheism was the best fit for me.
@@tampazeke4587 do you think it’s possible that there’s a higher power that’s not the Christian God
@@gorb_oron I don't know. All I can say is that I've seen no demonstrable, measurable evidence that would meet minimal scientific standards, presented to lead me to believe that there is an intelligent "higher power" that creates or controls or destroys with intention. I do believe in time, energy, mass and the laws of nature that regulate their interactions. I could see that there could be a natural law of karma as of yet undiscovered but I have to be as agnostic about that as I am about gods until more repeatable and measurable scientific evidence is discovered and presented.
If you like "atheist praise music", might I reccomend "Don't Look Down" by the Divine Comedy. Very similar vibes to this one.

@@brom3004 "And are you not a dumbass follower of your "God"."
Not at all. Example, the bible starts out with God creating the universe. Just the way it really happened.
You think otherwise, so explain how we got the universe without God.
@Stuart Bowes yes, get a useless dig in as you can't even get past creation. In various threads you're enjoying your long pussy rubs avoiding how you got around the laws.
Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
Tim - Hey Sam solid discussion tonight and I love the story about your mom.
Sam - Thanks! I appreciate you being open minded and I hope you can learn something from her story.
Tim - That is what I wanted to talk to you about, can I use this story in a show and write a song?
Sam - I know I have opened your eyes and heart and I would love to spread the message through her story!

Tim 3 days later
I wrote a 6 minute song. I need a 50 piece orchestra, a 5000 seat concert hall, smoke, lighting, and 10 million+ viewers on UA-cam.
… and I’m going to do it in the Royal Albert Hall
10 million? Tim needs to fit the bit in about being busy stealing youtube views somewhere
Imagine writing an entire song, composing that song, getting an entire orchestra and being in a show in a concert hall just to raost someone. What a legend
It's an act. Sam doesn't exist ;)
@@Reggie1408 he does, Tim said so in an interview. "Storm" from the poem does not exist though
He isn't roasting "someone", he's roasting god, so writing an entire song, composing that song, getting an entire orchestra and being in a show in a concert hall isn't so much over the top.
It's not to roast Sam though. He's just an example, a prompt for the topic. He just wanted to expose the flaws in the logic of those who think that God exists just because of random fortunate situations while the world is so fucked up. The world is full of Sams. I had a friend in school, she and all her family were also Evangelics. One day she told me she knew God existed because her sister was born with a condition and the doctors told them she would not live to be 5 years old, but she was a grown woman with kids. I told her the doctors could be wrong but she insisted she got several tests and then got suddenly cured. I then told her, since it was recent events at the time, why would God cure just one little girl but let hundreds die in an earthquake in Haiti. Her response was that "many people in that area believed in black magic and other practices so maybe God wasn't up to that". I dropped the topic after letting her know that in that case her God was a hard pass to me then. She also told me one guy in her community was cured of homosexuality after they all prayed for him as if anyone wouldn't fake to be straight so that they could be left alone in that situation. What a joyous faith.
That must be true love ☺
This is just a hunch but I don't think Tim's apology was all that sincere.
😂😂

@@hippyfriend Mine too! Pure sarcasm
That's why he draws into tracks not just people who like funny stuff but some real serious musical nerd geeks who may not even know it - once you find yourself marveling over the internal rhyme and structure while he's singing about cheese then you know you've reached a subgroup that you belong in if you're thrilled to be there. He just died but I think Stephen Sondheim and he would have an amazing amount in common based on the musical style of both, as well as Mozart which they both credit but then I can also pull Green Day into this argument if you like so I'll stop here.
When will people get over the stupid concept that is something is funny it is not to be taken seriously or called art? If you have to call it any label at all it's philosophy these days, we've come a long way since take my wife please.
I think people respond hugely to intelligence which people like Bo Burnham over in the United States and wordy people who are very good with the internal rhyming and structure of it all as well as the musical genius - but we don't bother to study music because it's more important to study things like bombs and physics and romance languages I guess I don't know I think all the money should be for music but when it's my turn to be in charge, I'd probably just be happy with a nice karaoke group to sing with - I have to add that it's a special talent that also overlaps with green days ability for Billy Joe all 5'5 of him to run around and own a stadium the way Tim played to a crowd of enormous proportions unheard of for comedy shows except Monty Python until fairly recently. I was hoping that he'd have a lot of stuff out on Netflix since I didn't find him for ages and I'm in America but there's the only one more.
I don't even know what he looks like now I guess
My favourite part of this is the escalation from barely detectable sarcasm all the way up to Full Big Band Snark. It's brilliant.

@@innoden Not really, more about the ways religious-minded folk rationalize their beliefs. As the entire song points out, coincidence on this small of a scale is utterly useless as proof, either to yourself or to other poeple, that omnipotent gods exist.
My anger comes from only recently dismantling my faith and realizing how held back I was as a child. For a god that doesn't exist (and would be outright evil if he did. See the entire Old Testament) and a religious viewpoint that forces ideas into your head instead of logically reaching them.
Tim's sarcastic dismantling of the pathetic nature of a god who "works in mysterious ways" so efficiently gets to the root of that issue. Appeals to a god have such a childish, unimaginative, non-insightful view of the world that plagued my early years that I do get a bit mad at wondering where I'd be without it.
@@orange_man_from "see entire old testament" is a terrible argument. Just because you don't agree that those things should've happened, doesn't make them evil. You are human. Finite. Your reason and logic and principles are flawed. Everyone's is and to say otherwise obviously a lie. There is a lot of scientific proof that backs up everything the Bible says, old and new testament. I agree that coincidence cannot be used as evidence, but actually do research. I'm not getting into it any more than this on UA-cam comments. Hope you find the truth. Have a nice day.
My mom's belief in Catholicism was cemented when she had an aneurysm that was caught before it could kill her. I'm so grateful to still have her, but I also feel like it has kinda ruined her life? She stays with my horrible, manipulative, emotionally abusive father because that's what a good Catholic would do. She prays for hours every day, cleans church and goes at least once a week, often more, she serves on her church council which sometime causes her to have to work14 hour days going from her regular job to church functions. It has consumed her life, and all because her God miraculously showed the inside of her brain when she was getting a brain scan for something unrelated. Kinda breaks my heart that the church has its claws so deep in her, and that she's so content to have them there that she resists when I try to help her break loose of their stunningly harmful organization.
Yeah Christians are famous for keeping abused women in situations like that. It’s messed up. I hope you can find a way to help her. Lundy Bancroft is a good resource for that
I can’t see a way your mum will ever break the chains Catholicism bind her. I can understand why you feel so angry. Very sad

Agreed!
I don't know if perfection actually exists, but if it does the this is it. The catchyness of the tune, the biting lyrics of skepticism, the dynamics of loud and soft (ex: when the music stops for "I C G O D" ). The carnival whistle during "fuck me Sam what are the odds". The stretching of pronunciation to make "cornea(r)" rhyme with "clear". The way Tim grooves his shoulders back and forth. The quick head nods of "no" to the numerous "it couldn't be" lines of parsimonious alternate explanations contrasted with the affirmative nod during "no the only explanation....". The masterful piano playing. The way he nailed the extremely long and fast moving difficult lyrics. Literally EVERYTHING about this performance can only be described as a miracle. Minchin is truly divine.
You are as clueless as Tim.

Prayer does work. When I was six years old, I prayed to god to make all future prayers made by anyone for any reason to go willfully unanswered. I am currently forty five years of age and god has not yet faulted on my first and last prayer. However, it's far more likely that the first person on Earth to ever pray to him...prayed the same prayer as I did... willfully negating my prayer as well.
Mind = blown.

“Science adjusts its views based on what's observed

Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.

Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created.

@@2fast2block Well, I hate to break it to ya, but Hebrews 11:1 gives a direct definition of faith, and it is "evidence in things unseen."
I also love when apologists bring up the first two laws of thermodynamics, because they leave out a crucial part on the second law, and make a baseless assumption on the first.
The part that you omit from the second law is the fact that entropy only increases in a closed system, but neither the earth nor the universe is a closed system, so this doesn't apply.
In the first law, you're assuming that the universe came from nothing, and since we don't know what came before the universe, saying it came from nothing can't be proven.
I also fail to understand what this "max energy" is and how it implies a supernatural entity. The amount of energy has been the same since the beginning of the universe, or did you only like to refer to the first law of thermodynamics when it seemed to help your case?

Tim can't think much. He thinks this all happened on its own.
The 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. It is clear creation had to be done supernaturally yet it is still denied because people are just too proud to accept that, among other things.

Technically speaking, nearly every record (and all Dance / EDM records) ever produced has a syncopated rhythm. A kick kicksnare rhythm is already syncopated.
Maybe we can pray for it.
uhm, no.
Tim I’ve watched this periodically for maybe 5+ years and no church congregation in the world could rival the sense of joy, understanding, and togetherness I derive from hearing it and singing along lol
Same here!
Same, I keep coming back to it at least once a year, for quite a while now. It's a classic.
I love how half the violin section behind him is grinning during the entire performance xD
Edit: also the "it couldnt be..." verses are bloody genius. Probably the Best lines together with the "what are the odds" bit
Can't believe I just found this. Bless your mother, Sam. Without her this masterpiece wouldn't exist!
bless him who?
Can we just appreciate the line “a genius is just a mentally ill person with an audience.”
I just like to imagine sam watching this and yelling “OK OK ALRIGHT ALREADY I GET IT”
You like Tim your fellow dumbass. How sweet.
“Science adjusts its views based on what's observed
Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved."― Tim Minchin
Tim does not know what biblical faith is because he just does not care to know but he'd rather fart out lies.
Biblically, faith means trust. It's a trust by evidence seen. God asks that we prove things. To reason. To get knowledge. To study. God has nothing to hide. We develop trust from what is seen, and that which is not seen yet is trusted also because of the trust built up from what is seen. It's much like a human relationship. We don't trust much until a person has gained that trust from what is observed. The difference is though, God is not limited to human powers. He created us.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
His opening of "Science adjusts its views based on what's observed"
Tim is a liar. He believes his god of nothing did miracles naturally with nothing as proof it could. He cares NOTHING about what is observed. What a hypocrite!
His god claims to have given us the universe, fine-tuning of the universe for life, life from non-life, information for life before and after it began, the laws of nature, etc, etc, when we know that your god of nothing can do nothing. His god of nothing has nothing to offer and its followers only offer nothing of evidence for their god of nothing. That makes him nothing of importance but the followers of the god of nothing are so delusional that they think they do have something to offer to defend their god of nothing.
It doesn’t seem to work like that though does it?
@Stuart Bowes you are reported using my loco and name to post as if it was me.
@@2fast2block go off girl. He farts lies just like Biblical truthers. Except his is pleasing to the ears your version is just irritating.
@@crunchevo8974 so to a moron like you, all I wrote about Tim is incorrect by your evidence of...
"Except his is pleasing to the ears your version is just irritating."
So all I said about faith, creation, etc is wrong to you because to you it's irritating to think about.
So what is irritating about what biblical faith really means? Tim lying is better for you, why?
This is genuinely the best put-down in the history of humanity.
It's Tim that is the hypocrite.

His god claims to have given us the creation of the universe naturally but that can't be. Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it.
@@2fast2block Well, I hate to break it to ya, but Hebrews 11:1 gives a direct definition of faith, and it is "evidence in things unseen."
I also love when apologists bring up the first two laws of thermodynamics, because they leave out a crucial part on the second law, and make a baseless assumption on the first.
The part that you omit from the second law is the fact that entropy only increases in a closed system, but neither the earth nor the universe is a closed system, so this doesn't apply.
In the first law, you're assuming that the universe came from nothing, and since we don't know what came before the universe, saying it came from nothing can't be proven.
I also fail to understand what this "max energy" is and how it implies a supernatural entity. The amount of energy has been the same since the beginning of the universe, or did you only like to refer to the first law of thermodynamics when it seemed to help your case?
Finally, what is it with apologists and equating atheism to a religion? We have no gods and no system of worship, it's that simple
And that’s what you call a super mega ultra burn. Few have been dunked on this hard.
