      @adamcarbo73 5 років тому +2

      A conspiracy theorist can see something online, or read something online and it can still be hidden in terms of being available to the general public.
      Like how technology we receive is always behind in what is actually attainable at the time. How the government and military industrial complex is always said to have technology 20 to 30 years ahead of what the general public can obtain. Plus they can make more money by giving out technology a little at a time, to maximize their profits, and to stay ahead of everyone in the society.
      Most people don't search things beyond MSM online and on TV. So it is possible to research thing and conclude something is being hidden from us. WikiLeaks has documents proving such things.

    • @VestigialHead
      @VestigialHead 5 років тому +11

      @@adamcarbo73 Not saying that governments out there are not hiding anything deliberately. They are and it is not a secret that they do this. It is called protecting intellectual property. As soon as something is publicly revealed it will be copied. So it makes a lot of sense to hide the internal methods or procedures for ground breaking cutting edge products.
      No conspiracy at all. Just good common business sense.
      Of course the military have technology ahead of the mainstream. They spend trillions of dollars and hire the brightest people to create this tech. Most of it then gets passed on to the consumer once it has outlived it military advantage.
      Where do you think a good percentage of our current technology came from?
      Are you actually suggesting that if the military comes up with a new tech they should immediately make it available to the common man? If so then I would suggest you have very limited knowledge of warfare or technological advantages.
      So where are these conspiracies? The fact that it is well known that governments and military deliberately keep things secret means it can not be a conspiracy as we know they keep the secrets. The fact they keep the secrets for the benefit of their country means it makes sense to keep these secrets.
      Wondering how old you are. I have a feeling you were not old enough to remember the cold war and the espionage going on at that time. How about the massive damage caused to the German forces in world war II when the Allies cracked Germany's biggest secret - the enigma machine.
      So yes people can make up some conspiracy theory about anything - that does not mean there is any truth to it or sanity involved in the conspiracy does it.

      Exactly.
      Would ANYone NOT change their mind on something,
      if it was shown, right in front of them,
      that they were, previously, completely objectively wrong ?
      ( ok, bad example, theists etc probably wouldnt 🤦‍♀️ )
      Heaps of scientists etc WANT to be the one that find something that overturns/ expands the current model,
      Cos that would bring them fame & $$$$.
      Its just REALLY hard to find something that goes against the millions of individual pieces of PHYSICAL stuff, the evidence, that is already here.
      And even those whole new ideas etc STILL don't change everything that has ALREADY been found, & so is already in front of us.
      It just refines it, adds to it. Makes it closer to reality.
      Like a better map of a place.
      🤔 I dont get how they think evolution, science etc is an atheist "belief".
      Or how they think it is anything other than WHAT is happening & HOW its happening.
      Literally just a map of a place, except its a "map" of everything that weve found & seen happen..
      Thats all it is. A better map.
      Believe what ever you want ( hopefully something that matches the real world, not fantasy-dreams )
      & whatever is around you just HAS to logically fit your belief.
      Or your "beliefs" arent real, & so should be thrown out for physically safer "beliefs".
      ( 🤔As ALL non-real beliefs can be physically dangerous as they teach your brain its ok to ignore & override physical reality/ safety, in favour of your imagined non-reality.)

      Science is good, but the problem is atheists tend to falsely think that science is the ONLY way to knowledge.
      That's just false. A deductively valid & sound argument has a conclusion that's necessarily true. That's stronger evidence than anything in science can be, because science is provisional.

    • @lightbeforethetunnel
      @lightbeforethetunnel 6 місяців тому +1

      Another problem is atheists often conflate the idea of "science" with "whatever mainstream academia says in their current consensus and peer-reviewed papers."

      Honestly, believing in god or gods would have been perfectly reasonable way back then. Humans didnt have much science or logical thought thousands of years ago. Couple that with the fact that everyone is scared shitless of death. Makes perfect sense for early humans to make up stories about how an afterlife exists because its extremely comforting and it gives them a purpose. The concept of god is a good thing to have if you arent strong enough to face the harsh truth of death.

    Mary schweitzer actually got the Elizabeth 'Betsy' Nicholls Award for Excellence in Paleontology for her discovery, and since then has had scholarships created in her honor, and even had an extinct bird named after her. She was not ostracized or anything, she was "ridiculed" by some scientists when the discovery was first announced because it was an extraordinary claim, but then when it was confirmed she was literally celebrated by the scientific community and awarded.

  • @pscyking
    @pscyking 3 роки тому +13

    This is pretty well-known, but I didn't see it in the comments so I thought I'd explain how Mary's findings are being misrepresented here. *There was no blood* in the fossilised bone. There were traces of iron preserved in the shape of red blood cells, which contain haemoglobin, which contain iron. There was absolutely no remaining organic matter. The term "soft tissue" generally refers to any tissue in the body which is not hardened, like bone or enamel. When palaeontologists use the term, however, they are usually referring to _fossil evidence_ of the tissue, not the tissue itself.
    This was such a remarkable find because the conditions necessary for preservation of soft tissue structures are so incredibly rare. The mechanism by which this happened is well understood, and nobody in the scientific community ridiculed Dr Schweitzer; the initial doubt was entirely warranted, given that fossil evidence of individual cells was literally unprecedented.

At this time I find it very difficult to listen to any evangelical talk on any topic, be it religion, politics and especially on morality. I believe that lies destroy faith.

As for ur profound utterance that the universe came from a singularity or perhaps an infinite regress of multiverses, is superfluous to the need to explain the origin of matter from nothing in the finitude of past time. Perhaps if u read Hawking and Krauss' feeble attempts to explain how everything came from non existence, u might just understand why a cause beyond time, space and matter is the only plausible explanation. Then I'd be only happy to discuss the nature of the reality, one that u not only don't believe in but apparently hate. But hang in there young fella, while there's life there's hope.

      So my friends, correct me if I'm wrong, but didnt Darwin lament about minds evolved from lower animals being at all trustworthy? Apparently, honesty for us "evolved apes" within Darwin's ideology would hardly be a good survival strategy..So if morality is merely doing what is fashionable in some culture at some point in history, then the Nazi master race for example, had the legislated right to rid society of the genetically deformed and impure races, the aged and mentally ill, right? After all, survival of the fittest is the law of the jungle!
      Even a thief knows when they are being duped, since we are all given an innate sense of moral worth and values. Moreover, *we know that somethings are really wrong even if everybody is wrong. And somethings are right even if nobody is right.*
      For a committed believer however, deliberately lying is knowing that such activities are soul destroying and will gain nothing in this life and far, far less in the next. It is ironic and rather pathetic when some young cynic or denier pontificates about perceived evil in individuals or past cultures with all the evangelical zeal he despises in believers. Especially, when morality for him, is merely a spin-off from socio-biological evolution. So how often do u buck the herd morality for personal gain and self gratification?

    Brian wants to support the Creationist claim that the Earth is 6,000 years old and that dinosaurs lived alongside humans. He regards the discovery of dinosaur blood as evidence that dinosaurs lived more recently than previously thought. It's a hypothesis easily disproved by other evidence, but Brian thinks it's conclusive and that the scientific community has conspired to dismiss the finding. The scientist who found the blood was nervous (I saw the BBC programme) because her results would attract considerable scrutiny (a minor paradigm shift) and so she'd have to get her facts absolutely right when she published... which she did. Thanks to her, we now know that it's occasionally possible to get DNA traces from bones that are 65 million years old. It's life after death, Jim, but not as we know it.
