I have 4 much more important questions: 1) Where is my whiskey? 2) Why did I drink all my whiskey? 3) Why isn't there more whiskey? 4) Why the HELL did you put ice in my whiskey?
Frank Turek is only a christian because the answer to his 4 questions are yes (but only if you can only answer yes or no, and he has hit you over the head with a pool noodle covered piece of rebar until the only word you know is "yes") There, I fixed the first sentence in his video, and the rest of it actually makes sense now.
Four "yes"es was what got Frank to believe in God while he was getting _special secret sermons_ from his pastor growing up, and he's carrying on that fine tradition of fucking up children for life.
Somehow they remind me of a human body with the legs closed and arms spread wide. But I guess that's just my pure imagnination and therefore pure coincidence. Maybe we weren't made in the image of god, but in the image of a cross? Just like we were created to have hands and fingers perfectly aligned to play a piano?
@@johnscaramis2515 They also don't like it when you point out that their bible has passages ranting against idolatry... then point to their crosses with their strangely Western looking demigod stuck on them.
@@nickryan3417 that’s the difference between crosses (no guy) and crucifixes (guy attached). Catholics use crucifixes to represent Jesus’ sacrifice and suffering, while Protestants usually prefer crosses and focusing on Jesus’ victory over death. The heavy use of crucifixes & saints’ icons is why Protestants, including my mom who was raised & schooled Catholic, look down on Catholics as idolaters

@SirsicCrusader I read your comment here as in response to the last part of ops comment, the "as for Frank, Kent Hovid has let himself go" and you saying "she sure has". And was really confused for a second. Till I realized you were talking about ms sic having a field day with the animations. Lol.
Sir Sic, I had the same initial reply that you did regarding question #4. Given that the gospels of the New Testament were authored 50-100 years after Jesus' alleged death, that none of the authors of these gospels is known, and that there are differences between the Gospel according to John and the synoptic gospels I'm not willing to accept any of the miracle claims written in the New Testament, let alone Jesus' resurrection.
I fell on the ground laughing. I mean I knew when he said this is what gets you to the Christian god it was gonna be good, but fuck! Lol I'm never ready for franks ridiculous
I especially like the evolution of your illustrations. Since I mostly listened to your videos in earbuds when I should be working, the illustrations add more comedy brilliance when I get to watch. And I love to watch
I've been tuning into various atheist channels for a while now, but this was my first Sir Sic video, and I must say, this is the hardest I've laughed in a bit. Good job, sir.
_Then Genesis 2 isn't_ A lot of people seem to forget that there are _two_ creation myths in the bible that contradict each other, for some reason. It's literally pages one and two. And the story of Adam and Eve everybody thinks they know _isn't in the bible._ It's a mash-up of bits of two different stories in the same book. I mean, I'm not surprised christians aren't aware; too busy thumping and doing other stickier things to their magic book to read it after all, but the rest of us should be.
All of these arguments say that the universe had a beginning because of the Big Bang, and go on to say that this proves Genesis is true and there was no Big Bang. These are the stupidest people on the planet. Also loved the "Yo Mama" joke.
Using the same convoluted bit of logic back at them... their bible relies on Genesis being totally and utterly true. As the creation story is plainly bullshit that proves that the rest of it is bullshit too.
I think we need to define "christianity" before we can determine if it's true. Besides the 10s of thousands of denominations today, we had a wide variety from the very earliest days. We had Pauline, Jewish, Marcionite, pesher-builders, OT-rejecters, "gnostic" varieties (there is no one single "gnostic" belief), adoptionists, incarnationists, pre-existent-ists, trinitarianists, modalists, and Monarchianists. Many of these aren't a thing nowadays, because the christians who believed the same things as powerful enough people fucking killed the rest of them. Marcion was condemned as a heretic, Arianists (who simply believed that Jesus didn't exist until he was born; bastards!) were slaughtered before and after the First Council of Nicaea in 325 CE, and of course, nobody ever expects a Spanish Inquisition.
Great point. People who leap from a vague first cause in the Kalam straight to Yahweh are more than willing to fudge that away and should be stopped. The difference are more than enough that one type would be right and the others wrong. Heck what if it's the Mormons?
Not too difficult to know what “Christianity” is at the very basic level. You’re assuming all the many denominations believe in completely different versions of Jesus and so on (there are some who do, like Mormonism and Jehovah’s Witnesses for instance, but for the most part, they believe in the same Jesus). Christianity is the belief and following of Jesus Christ being the Messiah that was prophesied in the Old Testament. That’s the basic definition. Trying to intentionally complicate it because “thousands of denominations” doesn’t suit the argument.
@@RexNicolaus "Christianity is the belief and following of Jesus Christ being the Messiah that was prophesied in the Old Testament." That's disputed in my original post. The belief that Jesus was the messiah was very common across the earliest sects, but this was NOT universally accepted. I'm not an expert on Marcion, but his version of Jesus was completely unconnected from YHWH and the old testament, presumably YHWH's messiah as well (though I would need to confirm that), and he had a substantial following in the mid 2nd century CE. He was also the first person to compile a new testament, with an edited version of Luke and 10 letters attributed to Paul, also with some slight edits. (The seven undisputed letters of Paul plus the dubious Colossians, Ephesians, and 2 Thessalonians; it is missing the widely-accepted-as-forgery pastoral epistles of 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus.) Marcion's group was the biggest, but there were many smaller groups at that time that rejected some combination of YHWH, the old testament, and the messiah. Not al of today's christians agree that the old testament prophesied Jesus, albeit they would be in a minority. Not all believe in the trinity. You could probably find a handful who disagree that Jesus is god. I know some who don't believe that Jesus ever set physical foot on Earth, and was always a heavenly being. All of these people had access to the same writings we have today. Some had other works as well, such as the apocalypse of Peter, which we don't recognize today yet we get most of our ideas of hell from. It is true that the biggest differences in doctrine are found further in the past, but you can find someone who believes almost anything you can propose. So the new testament simply isn't "reliable" enough to establish even your relatively modest claim.
@@grumpylibrarian Not universally accepted in the early years? There weren’t any “sects” like you have today. I’m not sure where you’re getting that it wasn’t universally accepted because in the first years after the death and resurrection of Jesus, there wasn’t very many Christians altogether. Again, idk where you’re getting not all of Christians agree that the OT prophesied Jesus being the Messiah. The only ones that would possibly even question it or deny it are non-Christian sects like Mormonism or Jehovah’s Witnesses, maybe. You’d have to specify because to me being a Christian, doesn’t sound truthful with you saying that if I was a Baptist and I go to a Methodist or a Lutheran, you’d get different ideas of who Jesus is and a different gospel. It’s simply not true. The ones who deny the Trinity and the divinity of God are very questionable about claiming to be “Christian” because all it would have to take is reading the Bible and proving that claim. It’s not “well my interpretation is this.” Jesus claims in the gospel He is God and even shows it so, that’s an easy one to disprove. Apocalypse of Peter (Gospel of Peter) is non-canonical to the New Testament. So I’m not sure why that’s brought up. Also the claim that anyone will believe anything you tell them is quite the disingenuous statement to make. That’s an issue I have when atheists use to say that Christians are “indoctrinated” or they have “blind faith.” Because of you really delve into it, a religion wouldn’t survive this long if it was supposedly easily refutable or disproven.
That’s stupid. Bigfoots are WAY faster than cupacrabras and god would NEVER choose to chase Bigfoot who runs at 73 mph with a chupacraba whose top speed is 27 mph at best. God is truth. Try again.
Close ups on sir sic always put me in a weird moment because his chainmail looks like tiretreads that close up. So I expect to see him rocking a whole tire draped over his shoulders.
Frank's answer to "Is there a god?" was borrowed from William Bikelane Craig and his Kalam Cosmological Argument. I wasn't impressed when Billy Bikelane spouted it and I'm even less impressed that Frank Turek plagerized it.
The resurrection of Jesus actually matches up incredibly well with grieving hallucinations. It's actually very common to hallucination about someone you care about who's died, not just hearing their voice but seeing their whole body
You’d have to prove that hundreds of people who saw Jesus after His death to be true that they were “hallucinating.” Otherwise, the argument you just made is absolute nonsense.
@@RexNicolaus who are these "hundreds of people" that supposedly knew Jesus prior to his death, knew about him dying, and then saw him afterwards, and were convinced that he was resurrected instead of just hearing a mistaken report of his death?
@@dougt7580 The apostles, the people who followed Jesus when He did His miracles throughout the land… If you haven’t actually read the gospel, you obviously wouldn’t know. So why not read and find out yourself? It doesn’t hurt to read.
@@Forest_Fifer Atheists like yourself wouldn’t even do the due diligence to actually read any sources related to the matter. Different guy commented on this channel, I gave him about 5 different books and basically said he wouldn’t read them because he didn’t think they’re credible (even though he’s never read them). You atheists are as lazy with actually knowing anything about Christianity as you are with just simply getting your sound bite argumentation from small channels like this one who really has nothing valuable to contribute as far as a genuine counter argument. It’s just “look at how stupid this Christian sounds.” That’s it. Lazy.
These 4 questions prove atheism? 1. Are you convinced of the evidence for the existence of God? 2. Do you steal Sir Sic's whiskey? 3. I like cats. 4. I realize that #3 is not a question and neither is this one. There, I proved atheism....Now go away.
'whatever created space, matter and time cannot be made of space, matter and time" First off, I don't know what it means to be "made out of time" Second, why not actually? It's the thing that creates those things, so it could have made itself out of those components. As we don't even know what "creating time/matter/space" would even mean.
That part where you say you get off my Earth is hilarious because I thought of this before as well what if it was possible for every country on the planet to have their own planet if only it that were possible
So the _anonymous_ authors of the NT, who wrote in fluent Greek decades after the events in question purportedly happened, are definitively Jewish? When did that get proven? And even if it was/they were, what difference would that make, in light of Christianity beginning as a sect of messianic Judaism?
Going by what Sir Sic said in this video, and taking his attire into account......I must admit it's bloody well confusing. Sir Sic is Dressed like a modern day Templar Knight in his surcoat with his Cross Pattee on his chest lol. As Homer Stokes famously said, before being carried out on a railroad tie.......''Is you is, or is you ain't (although he finished by saying....in my constituency... we however don't need that political part lol)?''
I've seen Turek speak and debate. I've seen his little Q&A sessions. He doesn't appear to be a very deep thinker. His material tends to be short, pithy little sayings that come across as meaningful as long as one doesn't stop to think about what he says. He seems more intent on entertaining believers with fast delivery in quantity to make up for the lack of quality. He often uses the "Gotcha" sort of statement or some "think about that" assertion before immediately moving on to the next topic (or person in the Q&A sessions).
He just straight up admitted, that theists are the ones that believe the universe came out of nothing... He's making such backwards points, that he owned himself!
SIC, have you cone across Almando Calvo, whose secret code name is "ChristRighteous?" If not, prepare for a whole new response series. Logicked and Wellman have done a bunch of videos about him, but a few from SIC would be a nice addition. 😀

You know, Christianity would be a lot less silly if they didn't believe Jesus came back as 3 monkeys under a bedsheet. (If they can misrepresent atheism, I can misrepresent Christianity).
Sic, I think you've ALMOST got the right answer to Turek's questions. Instead of "It depends," though, the answer SHOULD be "It's Depends!" Because his answers are always an adult-sized butt bag full of steaming excrement!
While acknowledging that I studied a long time ago, I remember what a physics professor said when asked about the truth of Newton's laws. He looked with pity at the student and said,"Physics is not about truth, it is about facts-verifying and discovering new facts. If you want truth you will need to attend philosophy and religion classes. Good luck with that!"
Ahhhhh i fell the f out on question 4, and I've never heard sic laugh like that. Dayumm Frank There's a talking snake Frank ahhahahahaha AHHH I'M DYING
No matter how many times Turek gets corrected on these things (and he's been corrected many, many, many times), he never learns or corrects his messaging.
To assume he has been “corrected” is absurd. It’s the arrogance of the typical internet atheist that has a quippy argument against Christianity or theism in general, somehow is “correcting.” Takes no effort to come up with such arguments like this. And the followers show that they have little to no due diligence to prove anything they’ve said. It’s all ad homenim and mockery. That’s not an argument. It’s just making a caricature of your opposition to point to those watching and say “see how absurd this is!?”
@@juanausensi499 This whole video was just a big quip about “how I can make Christianity sound absurd to my audience for a good laugh.” Lousy and pathetic way to counter argue.

Hey, I learned something from Frank! Question 2 claims that anything that created time, space and matter can't be made out of time, space and matter. An often used argument is 'Something cannot create something with a property if it does not have that property itself'. It is used to claim that God is necessary to get intelligent beings, since nothing that is not intelligent could form something intelligent... So Frank has defeated one of the more used arguments for God, since he claimed that something without time, space and matter is needed to create time, space and matter. TL;DR what I learned: The common argument for the special creation of humans and the common argument for the special creation of the universe contradict each other. I bet we can find creationists who use both of those arguments anyway.
If you want to add additional arguments, you can point out that the idea that a cause must always precede the effect has never been demonstrated to be true and the idea that all effects must have a cause has also never been demonstrated to be true. We even have candidate effects for which no cause appears necessary.
Turek : Dinosaur Hunter's first question, that whole "is true truth really true ?" nonsense - what, is he trying to defeat an Original Star Trek computer with a logic trap ??
Can i ask why he's wearing safety glasses? (I know they're his actual glasses but damn they look like safety glasses. Thinking is so foreign to him he has to make sure his eyes are protected lol)
when i was around 13-14, an idea was put forth to me that IF, HAY-sus was killed by a rifle, would the christian symbol be that of a rifle/gun? the thought just made me realize the absurdity of the cross. that eventually began my road to my deconversion from catholicism and christianity in general. american evangelicals maybe should switch from crosses to guns as their small “rods” need to be compensated for.
According to Frank Turek, Frank Turek is insane. We know this because lack of REM sleep drives people insane. Dreams are illusions: by definition they aren't real. And, by his Truth argument, if dreams aren't real, Frank can't have them. Also, since dreams don't exist, Frank must *actually* have found himself naked during an important test he hadn't studied for and all the girls (including his mom, who was there too for some reason) laughed at him.
During my brief time in a fundamentalist church, there was a woman member that claimed she never dreamed, and proclaimed it as a badge of honor or a mark of holiness. Possibly she simply did not sleep well enough to dream, or she did not remember them - likely by choice.
@@VitalVampyr The *notation* doesn't use degrees. Degree is just a notation, however, so you can legitimately say "degrees Kelvin", but you would note it as "0 K". It is also why we don't use "Centigrade" any more either, because that just meant "two points divided into 100 subdivisions", we use Celsius. Kelvin uses the same interval, but it only defines a zero point itself, 0 K, and everything is thereafter derived. Note that because water freezing happens at different points, even if "pure water" (water can remain liquid to -30C or less, see "supercooled water"), it is instead defined as the triple point at STP being 0 Celsius, because THAT doesn't depend on anything other than pressure and isostatic temperature, and 100 Celsius being the boiling point of water at STP. Therefore current Celsius is very slightly different from "OG Celsius".
@@markhackett2302 Your argument doesn't make any sense. Most common temperature scales (Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Rankine) use a degree of their scale as a unit. The Kelvin scale however uses a kelvin as the unit (which is equivalent in magnitude to a degree Celsius). Also STP is "Standard Temperature and Pressure". Different organizations have different definitions but to my knowledge none of them use the triple point of water (which is 0.01 °C, 611.66 Pa). The 100 degrees between water boiling and freezing in Celsius is at 1 atm of pressure so it's not variable.
God not being able to create a stone larger than he can lift is as true as there being no truth. We can play the inconsistent fallacy comparison game too. 🤣🤣
Sometimes when I'm feeling particularly malignant I enjoy listening to Christopher Hitchens use frank and his apologetics as a punching bag. Even more than half in the bag Hitchens used him like he owed him money. I just hate him.
The New Testament was written in Greek by Romans, as Greek was the official language of the Roman government. They based their writings on contemporary stories told by Christians, who were mostly jewish people. The Christian stories included elements that were based on a limited understanding of the Tora. The stories were then edited by the Romans so to be acceptable to the Roman government in order to create the New Testament. The Tora was in turn a collection of stories written down by jewish people while exiled to Babylon by the Neo-Assyrian Empire (circa 722 BCE). These stories where based on memorization of oral stories, and were heavily influenced by Babylonian religion and culture. The Tora was translated into Greek by Romans with the help of jews living in Egypt. The Romans edited the Tora to be in historical order and to be acceptable to the Roman government, thereby creating the Old Testament.
I'm no Dr. But.. yes. You had an overdose of stupid, your brain couldn't reconcile it and a stroke followed. Stay away from apologists and comment back in a week.
15:24 For the same reason the writers of Transformers resurrected Optimus Prime, or Akira Toriama resurrected Goku. Because fictional stories don't have to be accurate to reality.
I was listening to the video and had to rewind and watch it to see if it was a Dankpods reference I'd just heard and sure as hell it was, she's a much better Frank. As always entertaining video, even if the original is painful to listen to with their terrible arguments.
"The reason we believe Christianity is true" is 1a) largely a function of geography and 1b) of upbringing and 2) a pathologically overactive agenticity detection device in our brains that makes us prefer an explanation, any explanation, even a stupid explanation, over not having artificial certainty of even manufactured concepts based in nothing. But go ahead, Frank, embarrass yourself. "is because the answer to four questions is yes." Now, you might think I have a pithy rejoinder that decisively knocks down that idiotic boast. I don't. Turek isn't very smart and his cult probably literally indoctrinates its victims into saying "Yes" whenever someone says "Four questions" to them the same way you say "I'm fine and you?" whenever someone asks you how you're doing. _Hey Tim! How's it going?_ _Hey Bob! I'm fine, and you?_ _Four questions!_ _Yes!_ If you think that's just a silly joke, attend church sometime. I haven't done it much myself, but I know for a fact that the... "people"... who go to those mindlessly say things like 'amen' and 'hallelujah' when prompted with the correct keyphrase. Now for the questions: 1. "Does truth exist?" No. Distill the entirety of the universe and you will not find a single atom of truth. This is the sense Turek is asking if truth exists, and it doesn't, and that's where Turek and morons like him do the bait-and-switch written into their asinine script and switch to a different definition of truth as a pathetic sort of 'gotcha!' that only fools other insipid cultists like him. It's a trick question equivalent to putting a cardboard box on the sidewalk and crouching next to it giggling to yourself imagining how stupid your hypothetical victim will be when they fall into your clever trap. Yes, Turek is that dumb. For evidence of this, look how long Frank pats himself on the back for that literally copy/pasted cliché from the worst kind of apologetics. 2. "Does God exist?" See previous re: bait-and-switch. God exists the same way Voldemort exists; they are both imaginary villains made up as part of fictional stories. God does not exist the same way Voldemort does not exist: there are no evil wizards with magical wizard powers anywhere on Earth or in the universe. That's made up. 3. "Are miracles possible?" No. Sic nails it, but also if a miracle _was_ possible, it would be physically possible by definition, which would make it natural and not supernatural, and therefore not a miracle. If a miracle was possible, it would by definition not be miraculous. So even IF your imaginary friend with magic powers were real, miracles are still not possible. 4. "Is my magic book special?" Haha no. Even in the horribly-written genre of magic books the bible is not the least bit special, not the least reason for which is that it literally plagiarizes from at least one older book on at least two occasions, which means it's _less_ special than the others. See Eurycleia and Ulysses' encounter with the Cyclops. Four questions! Yes! Except instead of mindlessly parroting apologetics people who aren't in the cult can explain *_IN DETAIL_* why all four questions are stupid and wrong and really just obvious tricks that only fool other cultists so actually _no no no haha _*_no._*
With question 1, once the bait and switch hits and they change the definition of truth, I like to give it this one: A man runs into a burning building, locates a child, and brings them safely from the building. Is it true this person is a hero? Is it true that this person did something heroic? Usually with skepticism, True. We now find out he lit the fire. Is he still a hero? Were his actions still heroic? Hrmmm ... Normally a distinction is raised about two actions, one evil, one heroic, allowing the rescue to still be heroic. We now find out that he locked two children in a room upstairs so he could stage the rescue. He saved one, but the other died before he got there. Is there any truth left that this person is a hero? Is it true his actions were in any way heroic? Truth is like motion. It needs a frame of reference. It is not an absolute thing. A simple change in perspective, a little bit more knowledge, and a truth becomes a fiction.
@@icycooldrink6085 An excellent addition. My comment was already going to be rather long so I kept things short, but the whole 'cardboard box trap' thing I used was based on that very primitive trap of a box leaning on a stick with bait under it that makes the stick fall over and the box fall on the victim. Much like how you say truth is dependent on context, that's what I was obscurely implying; the _idea_ of a box trap were being used, but all being used wrong in the wrong way that simply made it not work. Turek thinks he's got his trap set up brilliantly because the _bones_ of how it's supposed to be are there, but it's put together so ineptly that it would never work. Sure, it's a box, and sure, he's using it like a (very crude and ineffective) trap, but _it's not a box trap_ just like there's a difference between a hero and _hero syndrome._ Frank's trying to be a hero, but he does it by locking children up in his basement. Figuratively. Probably. _We know what kind of people apologists are._
I really prefer Frank Turek's cousin more. You may know him, Paul TUROK, he used to kill dinosaurs before The Flood wiped them out, now he's just a sad very very very very old man banned from Jurassic World The Ride and many other attractions for vandalism to the dinosaur animatronics.
It boggles my mind that in 2022 we have the most advanced scientific tools ever made by man and are learning more about the nature of the universe each day for the last 100 years than we had learned collectively in the previous 5000 years, and we still have people denying the facts and believing in literal pseudo-historical fairy tales.

Four "yes"es was what got Frank to believe in God while he was getting _special secret sermons_ from his pastor growing up, and he's carrying on that fine tradition of fucking up children for life.
i feel like Far Cry 5 handled that
He is Christian for the money he doesnt believe what he preach

Yepp, those crosses have such unique angles and geometry. Endlessly fascinating!

Somehow they remind me of a human body with the legs closed and arms spread wide.
But I guess that's just my pure imagnination and therefore pure coincidence.
Maybe we weren't made in the image of god, but in the image of a cross? Just like we were created to have hands and fingers perfectly aligned to play a piano?
@@johnscaramis2515 They also don't like it when you point out that their bible has passages ranting against idolatry... then point to their crosses with their strangely Western looking demigod stuck on them.
@@nickryan3417 that’s the difference between crosses (no guy) and crucifixes (guy attached). Catholics use crucifixes to represent Jesus’ sacrifice and suffering, while Protestants usually prefer crosses and focusing on Jesus’ victory over death. The heavy use of crucifixes & saints’ icons is why Protestants, including my mom who was raised & schooled Catholic, look down on Catholics as idolaters

One thing is for sure, you don't have to spend much time listening to Frank to realise his relationship with the truth is tentative at best.
I don't think he's ever even ment the truth about anything.
His relationship with logic is "we're on a break"

Sir Sic,
I had the same initial reply that you did regarding question #4. Given that the gospels of the New Testament were authored 50-100 years after Jesus' alleged death, that none of the authors of these gospels is known, and that there are differences between the Gospel according to John and the synoptic gospels I'm not willing to accept any of the miracle claims written in the New Testament, let alone Jesus' resurrection.
I fell on the ground laughing. I mean I knew when he said this is what gets you to the Christian god it was gonna be good, but fuck! Lol I'm never ready for franks ridiculous
I especially like the evolution of your illustrations. Since I mostly listened to your videos in earbuds when I should be working, the illustrations add more comedy brilliance when I get to watch. And I love to watch
I've been tuning into various atheist channels for a while now, but this was my first Sir Sic video, and I must say, this is the hardest I've laughed in a bit. Good job, sir.

If Genesis 1 is true…
That ‘if’ is doing a loooooooooot of heavy lifting…
P.S. Superb ‘Ya Mum’ joke. Thank you so much!
_Then Genesis 2 isn't_
A lot of people seem to forget that there are _two_ creation myths in the bible that contradict each other, for some reason. It's literally pages one and two. And the story of Adam and Eve everybody thinks they know _isn't in the bible._ It's a mash-up of bits of two different stories in the same book.
I mean, I'm not surprised christians aren't aware; too busy thumping and doing other stickier things to their magic book to read it after all, but the rest of us should be.
All of these arguments say that the universe had a beginning because of the Big Bang, and go on to say that this proves Genesis is true and there was no Big Bang.
These are the stupidest people on the planet.
Also loved the "Yo Mama" joke.
Using the same convoluted bit of logic back at them... their bible relies on Genesis being totally and utterly true. As the creation story is plainly bullshit that proves that the rest of it is bullshit too.
Alright, when’s the Opening a Bottle of Ketchup without Decapitating Yourself tutorial happening?

I think we need to define "christianity" before we can determine if it's true. Besides the 10s of thousands of denominations today, we had a wide variety from the very earliest days. We had Pauline, Jewish, Marcionite, pesher-builders, OT-rejecters, "gnostic" varieties (there is no one single "gnostic" belief), adoptionists, incarnationists, pre-existent-ists, trinitarianists, modalists, and Monarchianists. Many of these aren't a thing nowadays, because the christians who believed the same things as powerful enough people fucking killed the rest of them. Marcion was condemned as a heretic, Arianists (who simply believed that Jesus didn't exist until he was born; bastards!) were slaughtered before and after the First Council of Nicaea in 325 CE, and of course, nobody ever expects a Spanish Inquisition.
Great point. People who leap from a vague first cause in the Kalam straight to Yahweh are more than willing to fudge that away and should be stopped. The difference are more than enough that one type would be right and the others wrong. Heck what if it's the Mormons?
@@cargo_vroom9729
ua-cam.com/video/jbNnsiP4Rhg/v-deo.html
Not too difficult to know what “Christianity” is at the very basic level. You’re assuming all the many denominations believe in completely different versions of Jesus and so on (there are some who do, like Mormonism and Jehovah’s Witnesses for instance, but for the most part, they believe in the same Jesus).
Christianity is the belief and following of Jesus Christ being the Messiah that was prophesied in the Old Testament. That’s the basic definition. Trying to intentionally complicate it because “thousands of denominations” doesn’t suit the argument.
@@RexNicolaus "Christianity is the belief and following of Jesus Christ being the Messiah that was prophesied in the Old Testament."
That's disputed in my original post. The belief that Jesus was the messiah was very common across the earliest sects, but this was NOT universally accepted. I'm not an expert on Marcion, but his version of Jesus was completely unconnected from YHWH and the old testament, presumably YHWH's messiah as well (though I would need to confirm that), and he had a substantial following in the mid 2nd century CE. He was also the first person to compile a new testament, with an edited version of Luke and 10 letters attributed to Paul, also with some slight edits. (The seven undisputed letters of Paul plus the dubious Colossians, Ephesians, and 2 Thessalonians; it is missing the widely-accepted-as-forgery pastoral epistles of 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus.)
Marcion's group was the biggest, but there were many smaller groups at that time that rejected some combination of YHWH, the old testament, and the messiah.
Not al of today's christians agree that the old testament prophesied Jesus, albeit they would be in a minority. Not all believe in the trinity. You could probably find a handful who disagree that Jesus is god. I know some who don't believe that Jesus ever set physical foot on Earth, and was always a heavenly being.
All of these people had access to the same writings we have today. Some had other works as well, such as the apocalypse of Peter, which we don't recognize today yet we get most of our ideas of hell from. It is true that the biggest differences in doctrine are found further in the past, but you can find someone who believes almost anything you can propose. So the new testament simply isn't "reliable" enough to establish even your relatively modest claim.
@@grumpylibrarian Not universally accepted in the early years? There weren’t any “sects” like you have today. I’m not sure where you’re getting that it wasn’t universally accepted because in the first years after the death and resurrection of Jesus, there wasn’t very many Christians altogether.
Again, idk where you’re getting not all of Christians agree that the OT prophesied Jesus being the Messiah. The only ones that would possibly even question it or deny it are non-Christian sects like Mormonism or Jehovah’s Witnesses, maybe. You’d have to specify because to me being a Christian, doesn’t sound truthful with you saying that if I was a Baptist and I go to a Methodist or a Lutheran, you’d get different ideas of who Jesus is and a different gospel. It’s simply not true. The ones who deny the Trinity and the divinity of God are very questionable about claiming to be “Christian” because all it would have to take is reading the Bible and proving that claim. It’s not “well my interpretation is this.” Jesus claims in the gospel He is God and even shows it so, that’s an easy one to disprove.
Apocalypse of Peter (Gospel of Peter) is non-canonical to the New Testament. So I’m not sure why that’s brought up. Also the claim that anyone will believe anything you tell them is quite the disingenuous statement to make. That’s an issue I have when atheists use to say that Christians are “indoctrinated” or they have “blind faith.” Because of you really delve into it, a religion wouldn’t survive this long if it was supposedly easily refutable or disproven.
Christian here. I used to wonder why curious young people often leave our faith. After seeing apologists at work, I think I have my answer.

"A person who exists on my planet without my permission" is a fuckin line that i don't know how to describe.

Frank's answer to "Is there a god?" was borrowed from William Bikelane Craig and his Kalam Cosmological Argument. I wasn't impressed when Billy Bikelane spouted it and I'm even less impressed that Frank Turek plagerized it.
Last to say first so far lol, Mrs Sic's animations just keep getting better and better lol xxx❤️
Ill let he know :D
The resurrection of Jesus actually matches up incredibly well with grieving hallucinations. It's actually very common to hallucination about someone you care about who's died, not just hearing their voice but seeing their whole body
You’d have to prove that hundreds of people who saw Jesus after His death to be true that they were “hallucinating.” Otherwise, the argument you just made is absolute nonsense.
@@RexNicolaus who are these "hundreds of people" that supposedly knew Jesus prior to his death, knew about him dying, and then saw him afterwards, and were convinced that he was resurrected instead of just hearing a mistaken report of his death?
@@dougt7580 The apostles, the people who followed Jesus when He did His miracles throughout the land… If you haven’t actually read the gospel, you obviously wouldn’t know. So why not read and find out yourself? It doesn’t hurt to read.
@@RexNicolaus And what evidence do we have for that? "For the Bible tells me so".....
@@Forest_Fifer Atheists like yourself wouldn’t even do the due diligence to actually read any sources related to the matter. Different guy commented on this channel, I gave him about 5 different books and basically said he wouldn’t read them because he didn’t think they’re credible (even though he’s never read them).
You atheists are as lazy with actually knowing anything about Christianity as you are with just simply getting your sound bite argumentation from small channels like this one who really has nothing valuable to contribute as far as a genuine counter argument. It’s just “look at how stupid this Christian sounds.” That’s it. Lazy.

There is truth to a high degree of confidence. There is no ABSOLUTE truth. At least as far as humans know.
That part where you say you get off my Earth is hilarious because I thought of this before as well what if it was possible for every country on the planet to have their own planet if only it that were possible
So the _anonymous_ authors of the NT, who wrote in fluent Greek decades after the events in question purportedly happened, are definitively Jewish? When did that get proven?
And even if it was/they were, what difference would that make, in light of Christianity beginning as a sect of messianic Judaism?
Going by what Sir Sic said in this video, and taking his attire into account......I must admit it's bloody well confusing. Sir Sic is Dressed like a modern day Templar Knight in his surcoat with his Cross Pattee on his chest lol. As Homer Stokes famously said, before being carried out on a railroad tie.......''Is you is, or is you ain't (although he finished by saying....in my constituency... we however don't need that political part lol)?''
I've seen Turek speak and debate. I've seen his little Q&A sessions. He doesn't appear to be a very deep thinker. His material tends to be short, pithy little sayings that come across as meaningful as long as one doesn't stop to think about what he says. He seems more intent on entertaining believers with fast delivery in quantity to make up for the lack of quality. He often uses the "Gotcha" sort of statement or some "think about that" assertion before immediately moving on to the next topic (or person in the Q&A sessions).
The word you're looking for is "Deepeties". Sound deep as long as you don't think about them.

No matter how many times Turek gets corrected on these things (and he's been corrected many, many, many times), he never learns or corrects his messaging.
He doesn't care, the people correcting him aren't the ones paying him.
To assume he has been “corrected” is absurd. It’s the arrogance of the typical internet atheist that has a quippy argument against Christianity or theism in general, somehow is “correcting.” Takes no effort to come up with such arguments like this. And the followers show that they have little to no due diligence to prove anything they’ve said. It’s all ad homenim and mockery. That’s not an argument. It’s just making a caricature of your opposition to point to those watching and say “see how absurd this is!?”
@@RexNicolaus So what you are saying is that he has not been corrected. Even if we have proof in the form of videos.

Hey, I learned something from Frank!
Question 2 claims that anything that created time, space and matter can't be made out of time, space and matter.
An often used argument is 'Something cannot create something with a property if it does not have that property itself'. It is used to claim that God is necessary to get intelligent beings, since nothing that is not intelligent could form something intelligent...
So Frank has defeated one of the more used arguments for God, since he claimed that something without time, space and matter is needed to create time, space and matter.
TL;DR what I learned: The common argument for the special creation of humans and the common argument for the special creation of the universe contradict each other.
I bet we can find creationists who use both of those arguments anyway.
If you want to add additional arguments, you can point out that the idea that a cause must always precede the effect has never been demonstrated to be true and the idea that all effects must have a cause has also never been demonstrated to be true. We even have candidate effects for which no cause appears necessary.

According to Frank Turek, Frank Turek is insane. We know this because lack of REM sleep drives people insane. Dreams are illusions: by definition they aren't real. And, by his Truth argument, if dreams aren't real, Frank can't have them.
Also, since dreams don't exist, Frank must *actually* have found himself naked during an important test he hadn't studied for and all the girls (including his mom, who was there too for some reason) laughed at him.
During my brief time in a fundamentalist church, there was a woman member that claimed she never dreamed, and proclaimed it as a badge of honor or a mark of holiness. Possibly she simply did not sleep well enough to dream, or she did not remember them - likely by choice.
I think Frank's brain is at zero degrees Kelvin. No molecules in motion. At all
OOF
Zero kelvins. The Kelvin scale doesn't use degrees.
@@VitalVampyr Ackchully, thank you 😊
@@VitalVampyr The *notation* doesn't use degrees. Degree is just a notation, however, so you can legitimately say "degrees Kelvin", but you would note it as "0 K". It is also why we don't use "Centigrade" any more either, because that just meant "two points divided into 100 subdivisions", we use Celsius. Kelvin uses the same interval, but it only defines a zero point itself, 0 K, and everything is thereafter derived. Note that because water freezing happens at different points, even if "pure water" (water can remain liquid to -30C or less, see "supercooled water"), it is instead defined as the triple point at STP being 0 Celsius, because THAT doesn't depend on anything other than pressure and isostatic temperature, and 100 Celsius being the boiling point of water at STP. Therefore current Celsius is very slightly different from "OG Celsius".
@@markhackett2302 Your argument doesn't make any sense. Most common temperature scales (Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Rankine) use a degree of their scale as a unit. The Kelvin scale however uses a kelvin as the unit (which is equivalent in magnitude to a degree Celsius).
Also STP is "Standard Temperature and Pressure". Different organizations have different definitions but to my knowledge none of them use the triple point of water (which is 0.01 °C, 611.66 Pa). The 100 degrees between water boiling and freezing in Celsius is at 1 atm of pressure so it's not variable.

Sometimes when I'm feeling particularly malignant I enjoy listening to Christopher Hitchens use frank and his apologetics as a punching bag. Even more than half in the bag Hitchens used him like he owed him money. I just hate him.
The New Testament was written in Greek by Romans, as Greek was the official language of the Roman government. They based their writings on contemporary stories told by Christians, who were mostly jewish people. The Christian stories included elements that were based on a limited understanding of the Tora. The stories were then edited by the Romans so to be acceptable to the Roman government in order to create the New Testament.
The Tora was in turn a collection of stories written down by jewish people while exiled to Babylon by the Neo-Assyrian Empire (circa 722 BCE). These stories where based on memorization of oral stories, and were heavily influenced by Babylonian religion and culture.
The Tora was translated into Greek by Romans with the help of jews living in Egypt. The Romans edited the Tora to be in historical order and to be acceptable to the Roman government, thereby creating the Old Testament.

"is because the answer to four questions is yes." Now, you might think I have a pithy rejoinder that decisively knocks down that idiotic boast. I don't. Turek isn't very smart and his cult probably literally indoctrinates its victims into saying "Yes" whenever someone says "Four questions" to them the same way you say "I'm fine and you?" whenever someone asks you how you're doing.

1. "Does truth exist?" No. Distill the entirety of the universe and you will not find a single atom of truth.

Yes, Turek is that dumb. For evidence of this, look how long Frank pats himself on the back for that literally copy/pasted cliché from the worst kind of apologetics.
2. "Does God exist?" See previous re: bait-and-switch. God exists the same way Voldemort exists; they are both imaginary villains made up as part of fictional stories. God does not exist the same way Voldemort does not exist: there are no evil wizards with magical wizard powers anywhere on Earth or in the universe. That's made up.
3. "Are miracles possible?" No. Sic nails it, but also if a miracle _was_ possible, it would be physically possible by definition, which would make it natural and not supernatural, and therefore not a miracle. If a miracle was possible, it would by definition not be miraculous. So even IF your imaginary friend with magic powers were real, miracles are still not possible.
4. "Is my magic book special?" Haha no. Even in the horribly-written genre of magic books the bible is not the least bit special, not the least reason for which is that it literally plagiarizes from at least one older book on at least two occasions, which means it's _less_ special than the others. See Eurycleia and Ulysses' encounter with the Cyclops.
Four questions! Yes! Except instead of mindlessly parroting apologetics people who aren't in the cult can explain *_IN DETAIL_* why all four questions are stupid and wrong and really just obvious tricks that only fool other cultists so actually _no no no haha _*_no._*
With question 1, once the bait and switch hits and they change the definition of truth, I like to give it this one:
A man runs into a burning building, locates a child, and brings them safely from the building. Is it true this person is a hero? Is it true that this person did something heroic?
Usually with skepticism, True.
We now find out he lit the fire. Is he still a hero? Were his actions still heroic?
Hrmmm ... Normally a distinction is raised about two actions, one evil, one heroic, allowing the rescue to still be heroic.
We now find out that he locked two children in a room upstairs so he could stage the rescue. He saved one, but the other died before he got there.
Is there any truth left that this person is a hero? Is it true his actions were in any way heroic?
Truth is like motion. It needs a frame of reference. It is not an absolute thing. A simple change in perspective, a little bit more knowledge, and a truth becomes a fiction.
@@icycooldrink6085 An excellent addition. My comment was already going to be rather long so I kept things short, but the whole 'cardboard box trap' thing I used was based on that very primitive trap of a box leaning on a stick with bait under it that makes the stick fall over and the box fall on the victim.
Much like how you say truth is dependent on context, that's what I was obscurely implying; the _idea_ of a box trap were being used, but all being used wrong in the wrong way that simply made it not work.
Turek thinks he's got his trap set up brilliantly because the _bones_ of how it's supposed to be are there, but it's put together so ineptly that it would never work. Sure, it's a box, and sure, he's using it like a (very crude and ineffective) trap, but _it's not a box trap_ just like there's a difference between a hero and _hero syndrome._ Frank's trying to be a hero, but he does it by locking children up in his basement.
Figuratively. Probably. _We know what kind of people apologists are._
I don't believe in an all-powerful, all-good, all-knowing god at all, because, why doesn't 'everyone' believe in 'the same' god then?
7:55 Double Helmet! XD
I really prefer Frank Turek's cousin more. You may know him, Paul TUROK, he used to kill dinosaurs before The Flood wiped them out, now he's just a sad very very very very old man banned from Jurassic World The Ride and many other attractions for vandalism to the dinosaur animatronics.
It boggles my mind that in 2022 we have the most advanced scientific tools ever made by man and are learning more about the nature of the universe each day for the last 100 years than we had learned collectively in the previous 5000 years, and we still have people denying the facts and believing in literal pseudo-historical fairy tales.
Truth is that which conforms to reality. The Scientific Method is the single most reliable method for understanding reality.
