  • Matt 'Dr Peel' Powell is back telling atheists why they're lying and that christianity is the only way. Don't be an atheist, be a creationist, because some of these reasons are [insert sarcasm here] REALLY convincing. He basically wants to SAVE us all and send us to heaven... but I don't think I'd ever want to end up in a place with our favourite lispy creationist... do you?

    Christianity demands that everybody is guilty, and that they need to be saved. It creates a problem, and provides a solution. This psychological trick is the basis for Pascal’s Wager. You need to be afraid of being punished for non-compliance, when there is no proof that the claim is true.

      Here's my usual spiel:
      The concept of “sin” was made up to control people (please don’t bother with the etymology, it’s not relevant). It is immoral, very damaging and illogical.
      Here's how it works; _pretend_ that being Human and Normal is a problem, then _pretend_ that there will be huge consequences if you fail to not be Human (which is, of course, impossible), THEN PRETEND that you've got a solution (which, of course, includes paying money to a church, and giving up some autonomy, thus giving those who promote the con _more power over you)._
      It is so hugely damaging a concept that I’m starting to think that spreading it to others should be a criminal offence.

      If there is a God, and it does not care if I believe/worship - I have no reason to do so.
      If there is no God, and I don't believe/worship - nothing will change, and I'll live my life as I always have.

    Because everyone knows we eat dead things, including rocks and minerals, like salt or sugar crystals, and converting them into what is our body.
    And animals eat plats and tun them into their body, and plants "eat" minerals from the dirt and turn that into their body.
    We see life coming from non-life *all the time*!
    Of course, it is life that is making life from non-life, plats making seeds for more plants, so one might try to raise the point that it can't happen without guidance.
    But that is for complex life *specifically* making something similar to itself!
    Now, for *extremely* simple life, and no specific goal, why couldn't it happen randomly? Or, more likely, why does the guidance have to be a person and not the environment? Laws of physics or chemistry?

    I find the "universe from nothing" a fun thought experiment, since nothing is a logical unknown so it is possible for it to have any property, I do not hold the belief that the universe came out of nothing.

      Energy can’t be destroyed or created. I suspect there never was ‘nothing’. Our universe is merely the current structure of energy.

    • @simongiles9749
      @simongiles9749 Місяць тому

      As a thought experiment it's theoretically possible since 0 = +1 + -1, and we also know that particles and antiparticles spontaneously appear in the quantum realm. Usually they collapse back together but if there was an energy imbalance in one direction you could get the +1 expanding at the expense of the -1, or both expand that there's an anti universe we are unaware of.
      As I understand it, though, this still requires energy to be a thing for this to happen, so it'd still be a system where energy existed and therefore not "nothing".

    Maybe he should pay royalties to Dillahunty for that line?
