- 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?

Matt Powell projects more than an IMAX movie theatre. Christianity is all about feelings, and no reason or logic.
😂 For real! Sometimes I wonder if he really knows how ridiculous he sounds while projectile vomiting his nonsense 😅
It is quite telling that he (and his ilk) is unable to argue for his position without constantly lying about damn near everything, innit?
Quite telling
He wouldn’t have any sense at all if he didn’t have nonsense.
Exactly 😅
I was a theist... Then I shook off the indoctrination and grew tf up
I didn't even grow up, I just got annoyed at all the contradicting rules that change every 2 years or so, and that was before the modern satanic panic that Alex iones and Daily wire all mined for like two years.
...Until people got bored of it and they went right back to attacking Atheists. 🤷♂️
The infection got neutralized by logic antibodies when I was about 10.
It's like leaving the empire's Sith blockade and become a jedi. May your faith leave with u.
That was one of the things that kept me from going to church of my own free will (read: not made to go with grandparents or aunt or uncle's families) was the reading out the verses all together (it sounded "cult-y" before I knew what a cult was), though also because no kid really wants to go to boring Church every Sunday.
The theists that say they grew up without religion are always clearly in the process of being indoctrinated, claiming they were not indoctrinated 😂 irony is always lost on theists
Powell's entire rant is just him projecting
When he's not outright lying.
What do you want from a man so indoctrinated that his 5 YO's lisp never got treated?

Matt Powell, an excellent example of all the failures of the American home school culture.
Also living proof that "cancel culture" is a lie.
And inbreeding....
And then they wonder atheist shoot on schools 😂
If they all teach hate preach and god stuff, i can understand it😂
We dont get that shit in our schools, only what religion is, and that people believe in a god.
But if you get brainwashed in school, i understand the anger😂
@@jasmijnariel
Except that atheists aren't school shooters and mass shootings happen everywhere.
🙄🖕
Right, because the American education system is without fault.
¬¸¬
Pull the other one now.
Matt may not be a good example of home schooling but there are _plenty_ of entirely failed school divisions, never mind individual schools or students, within the purview of the Board of Education.
The singularity was not nothing, it was everything. Only theists think everything came from nothing, with magic ✨
With Christians every accusation is a confession.
"Nothing" as a concept cannot exist - if it did it would obviously be "something" 😆
@@LadyDoomsinger precisely.
and where did the singularity come from? where did this infinite density come from?
personally, I don't care about the universe's birth; it's not like we, or our generation, will conquer it, yet.
in my opinion we should focus more on how to colonizing other worlds and reach our nearest star system. It doesn't matter how the universe was created if our species dies off on Earth.
@@STCatchMeTRACjRo I agree with you shout colonizing space.
However, unless we start, how can we complete a journey.
Just as the colonisation of space will not occur within our life time, so to will unravelling all the mysteries of the universe not occur in our life time. But, unless we start now with both, neither will get done.
This comes from a group of people who believe in PFM. PURE F___KING MAGIC!!!!
I bet you didn't think I could find a Fire King at this time of year
@@insensitive919 and in this part of the country? Damn that is impressive.
I wonder if "Objective Morality is real" has by now been dumbed down so much by amateur thought-allergic christians like Matt, that it shoudl no longer be counted as a real rational fallacy and be downgraded to "pretty cheap thought stopping cliché" instead....
I wonder what Powell was like as a child. Was he always so creepy? Just listening to him makes my skin crawl.
ETA - just heard the lie about alcohol and drugs - lifelong teetotaler and non-drug user here. I like reality.
Also, Matt - Claude Debussy wrote Clair de Lune, and we call that being a composer, not an author.
You know, it's watching his mouth as he speaks that makes my skin crawl. There's something really wrong with this guy - very creepy.
@@tiltingwindmill, I'm tellin' ya -- Mattie Powell is actually a robot boy controlled by the Evil Dr. Peel!
He has at least one personality disorder, that's why you're getting the heebie jeebie feeling.
@@tiltingwindmill AT least he doesn't give the "kids lover" vibes that his hero does, instead he gives the "I'm into butt plugs" vibes, but in every bad ways possible.
Matt "Citation Needed" Powell.
Matt's god doesn't do 'magic' magic. His magic is Miracle Magic®, which isn't magic at all, but a special attribute of gods godliness and totally different. We know this because ♫ _the bible tells me so_ ", and the bible is the *Word of God* , which we know because ♫ _the bible tells me so_ ".
Paulogia would approve this comment. LOL
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.
@@pineapplepenumbra Yes, claiming that people are bad, just in order to manipulate them, should be considered a human rights violation.
I have my own version of Pascal's Wager:
If there is a God, and it punishes me for not believing/worshiping - that God is not worthy of worship.
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.
If there is no God, and I believe/worship - I will have wasted my life for nothing.
Either way, I have no reason to believe in or worship any god.
@@LadyDoomsinger Given that there has never been a shred of supporting evidence for any claimed contact with god, all god claims can be ignored. As I have no reason to believe that consciousness can exist when the brain is dead, an afterlife is a mere fantasy.
@@LadyDoomsinger I like that version.
You've probably already ready my usual arguments against Pascal's wager...
Hey, theists... Where did your gawd come from? And where did that come from? And where did the maker's maker's maker come from?
Nothing sets the charlatan alarm off quicker than someone saying 'I'm not a charlatan' and then telling you how poor their wife and kids are.

"Every false religion says" "I'm going to go to heaven because I'm a good person, I helped an old lady cross the street" - citations needed.
that's not at all how you get into heaven according to Christianity.. You just need to accept Jesus as your personal hero and savior, or whatever. Doesn't matter what evil things you've done in your life
@@JoeyP946
The irony is that the cultist claims that his cult is not "false".
@@louseveryann2181 I thought he just added the word "false" to religion, because every religion is by definition false xD
@@louseveryann2181 Step 1 of indoctrination is to convince your victim that they can trust nobody but you.
I also noticed in that bit, that he thinks being that good person would involve "turning over a new leaf". No, Matt. Most of us are already on that page. It's you that's not keeping up. Come and sit at the front of the class, so we can keep an eye on you, ya wee rascal.
I owe my life to rock, heavy metal, especially.
🤘
Doh! You beat me to it! But i can't not....🤘
Heavy metal is gold🤘
Yup, I truly find it funny when he says that athiest drink alcohol, when Christians drink as much, and I am in texas, a Bible belt state, yet I never took a sip of that sludge
My anecdote is not data but i easily gave up alcohol once i dropped the god belief.
@@riseofdarkleela that is great thing, and do wish you the best of luck
The rules keep changing so suddenly... dot dot dot.
The most alcohol I've ever consumed in a single sitting was at my Christian Confirmation party, before I became an atheist... It was 1 glass of wine. I didn't like it.
I'm an atheist and non-drinker. I will very rarely have a tiny bit of wine or cider. I haven't had any alcohol in over a year now.
My Christian father, and his father before him? Both alcoholics.
If Christianity were true there would be only one version of it. Being that there are tens of thousands of different versions of Christianity out there, it is very unlikely that there is any truth in the religion at all.
If christianity was true, then, all apologists would be jobless, with Matt Powell up front of that jobless crowd.
There are only two types of religions.
Works for salvation.
Grace through faith.
And even Christians in the same denomonation have different opinions. No two Christians think the same, but all of them are the "true Christians", right? Those who have the real "relationship" with God and know him like their own shoes..?
Evolution is true, yet there are many different versions of how that work, Darwinism is the most popular, but there are plenty others
Aside from the blatant misinformation contained in his video, I love how Matt is trying to portray a calm and cool demeanor in this video, while he projects the idea that atheism is all about feelings, as if it were his job. Now that I think of it, I guess it IS his job. No Matt, I'm not the one making a career out of trying to cram a 2" square peg into a 1" round hole. I have no idea what the origin of all being is, if there even `is` an origin, I just don't believe you do either. Pretty simple really.
I had a large branch from one of our trees fall after a recent storm. There was rot in the middle of the branch. It had more life in its features than Banana Man does. He defines dull!
another great example of There is no hate like christian "love"
"when he says really stupid stuff, someone needs to speak up" - sounds like a fulltime job.
Wait, does he ever not say stupid stuff?
@@mollywolfe7321 Probably when inflating Dr. Peel.
"I'm still learning every day" I'm not convinced powell is capable of learning
In all the years I've known about him, Matt has done nothing but repeat the same old phrases over and over. If he's learned anything new he does a good job of hiding it.
Matt: "I work a full time job..." - yeah, as a grifter trying to con people put of their money.
Exactly. He lies so much that I'd need to check outside if he told me the sky's blue!
A job which benefits no one except himself and his boyfriend, Hovind.

Why do Creationist always have so spooky eye movements?
Because the space behind is empty.
And for some reason a lot of Creationist spokesmen have a slight speech impediment. Not trying to personally attack them, just an honest observation ;]
I agree Matt Powell gets too much air time.
But that's what I call breathing.
i mean if we can just lie i can prove just about anything.
Raises hand with Skep ✔️, atheist and non drug user.
I've never done drugs, and the most alcohol I ever consumed in a single day was at my *Christian Confirmation* where I had one glass of wine and decided I didn't like it.
Besides that I've had a single beer a few times, at school parties because I felt pressured to partake - but always managed to nurse a single can or bottle for the whole evening.
The drug thing Matty is talking about is mostly crap anyway.
You don't see things that are not there and all drugs do is ammend the chemicals in your brain to produce certain feelings.
Matty just up to his usual lies.
I'm an atheist and never smoked or did drugs expect alcohol, but from a couple of months now not even alcohol (not that I drank too much before).
Atheist stoner, mushroom fan and occasional drinker here. Not all drugs are equal of course, and there's a long list of drugs I wouldn't touch with a bargepole, but drug use is not inherently a bad thing.
If you enjoy it, it has no effect on your ability to function (once you've sobered up) and you know the meaning of the word 'moderation' then I really don't see what the problem is.
I have done all the drugs, and I'm a recovering alcoholic, but I didn't do drugs or alcohol bc I was an atheist. I did them bc it was fun, while it lasted. I stopped all of that without god. AA is nothing but a predatory system to take advantage of the vulnerable. They make you switch one addiction to another.

~ Matt Powell, probably
ya not really the brightest person
@@guilhermecastro9893not even the brightest piece of sh!t
At this point I am convinced that he is blatantly lying. He has been corrected time and time again on his stupid arguments but he rejects it because he can't process the information. He can't comprehend rationale. It's much more easy to target the emotional side of people than the intellectual side of it.
I for sure hope he isn't lying and isn't making any money but by now I really doubt he knows how to be honest or sincere.
That's what narcissists do. They can never admit the first time that they're wrong, or lied. Instead of, Idunno, shutting the hell up, they're convinced that they have to keep the lie going to save face. That's why these personalities are called a disorder.
Love the use of the mug shot!
2:37 "I've actually asked certain atheists, "Would you become a Christian if Christianity were true?" and they will say "no." And that shows us that they've actually read the Bible and concluded that the god of the Bible is evil."
Or it just means that I don't accept the authority of people (or books) pretending to speak on behalf of a god that may or may not exist.
I wonder if Matt realizes that the Spanish inquisition was pretty close to being the same thing as the holocaust and who ordered the Spanish inquisition oh right it was the Pope . Now is Matt going to say the Pope is an athiest because i would like to know how that works .

What Powell said in his first few comments about atheists believing in magic etc, was absolutely mind blowing for me to hear coming from a person who by definition does believe those things themselves!
It's like projection, much!
edit: I swear I had only watched the first few mins when making this comment and didn't realize Jon the SkepTick was about to say it anyway.
You can't get rich on Christianity? Somebody might want to tell Ken Copeland and Joel Olsteen.
Yeah, that was my first thought. A visit to St. Peter's in Rome might be in order as well.
If God knows everything that was, everything that is, and everything that will be... can God actually be said to have free will?
Is an all-knowing god, actually able to change their mind? If they can't, they can't have free will.
I've been trying to tell theists this for years. They are either too stupid to understand, or they're too brainwashed to accept it.
To repent mean to turn away from.
God repents and changes his mind multiple times.
Even if "heaven" didn't have a Matt Powell (or any of his ilk) in it, eternity is not the selling point christians (and others) seem to think. [all good things come to an end, heaven doesn't]
Anywhere full of people like Matt Powell would, by definition, be Hell.
@@pineapplepenumbra too kind by far, sharing a football stadium with 1 Matt Powell would be a close approximation. [The entire planet and only 1 Matt Powell is already "less than ideal"]
I keep thinking he's a troll!
He sure looks like one😂
I feel it's only a question of time before some horrible crime Mat has committed will come to light.
He is just that shady.
Asking the question "Would you become a Christian if Christianity were true?" is a way of trying to make people appear irrational.
"If we can prove that there is a Nazi party, would you become a Nazi?" No, of course not.
Just because they prove their killer god exists doesn't mean we should worship the fandom. We would know that the monster of a god exists, but that is not reason enough to worship that god.
Also, even if a god did exist - and even if that god was the God of the Bible - why should I accept the authority of people pretending to speak on it's behalf?
This 100%.
Don't do drugs, don't drink. Still atheist.
Amen😂
Matt says he spoke to atheists. Why do I not believe that? Supposedly asked if they'd join up if Christianity was true. That would just lead to more questions in my mind. Which version? With what version of God? How was it proved to be true? What specific aspects of it? Because we know parts of the Bible are simply false. It's too vague of a question to even answer honestly.
Oh, he’s spoken to lots of atheists. For once you can believe him on that.
Listening to? No, Little Matty doesn’t do listening, thank you very much…
@@lidbass -- OK. Perhaps I should have used spoke "with". Which would entail a two-way discussion.
Of course, in context, he said he spoke to atheists and they responded. So mirroring his words also includes receiving responses. Context is important to meaning.
@@Kevin_Williamson Oh yes, he has spoken to atheists and they have responded many times. But, as I said in my intended-as-a-throw-away-joke-comment, Matt doesn't listen. For example: he has been told to his face that his belief that dinosaurs lived recently is based on a known faked photograph, but he continues to use said photograph as 'evidence'. Even Ray Comfort had the decency to stop with his banana analogy, but Powell is incapable of even that. Everything he has ever said has been debunked publicly by a number of YTers, and he knows they have done it because he has responded to them, and yet he still does not have the intelligence and/or ability to recognise the fallacies he continues to blurt out.
Oh, and he is extraordinarily good at projection.
Well, so much for providing some citations to show that this certain Austrian at the very least claimed to be Christian.... looks like YT is automatically removing any comment with his name in it again for a change...
But the quotes are fairly easy to google anyway. And if anyone claims that this Austrian only claimed to be a Christian, but actually wasn't - go on, demonstrate that _the Pope_ is an actual believer and isn't just pretending. Good luck...
Yeah YT's auto-censorship is getting increasingly ridiculous, to the point where you can hardly comment on anything but cat videos. As for the Austrian dude, it doesn't even matter all too much what his personal beliefs were in the end. Because all those millions who followed him and executed his orders were most definitely not atheists.
Professor Peel. America's favorite closeted pastor!
A gay clown...🤡 nothing more
Matt Powell has a giant banana in his back yard he calls Mr. Peel.
"I'm all about reason!" Yeah, fighting it with every fiber of his being.
He says that Atheists believe they'll get into heaven because they led a good life...
First, no we don't. We don't care about your heaven, it doesn't exist, so why would we try to get in. We live a good life because that is it's own reward.
Second, your religion says you'll get into heaven if you but believe---so you can do ALL the bad things you want, but if you believe, you'll get into heaven anyway.
Thanks!
Thank you! You're awesome. This one is on the 8th June...
It's astonishing. With each sentence out of Powell's mouth, I think, "he can't possibly say anything more stupid than that!"
And then he immediately proves me wrong. Every single time.
grate ideal for a prank, sneak into a church and hid some of those little sound pucks around the place, the ones that make the whispering sounds that go off randomly but set some of them up to say God's Word in a young girls voice to go off all at the same time and spread those around too. then when roomers start to go around (if the sound disks are not found) sneak in again and set up four blue tooth speakers up high the night before a big sermon, then deliver a message.
I agree with Matt , Matt is not a valid source of information
Matty, Matty, Matty.... if drugs 'and' alcohol are so bad... why does your 'god' "finely tune" the universe in a way that allows them to exist (or allow them to be metabolised by 'his' favourite monkeys)?
Weird how many complaints he has about the world his 'god' created.
Creationist tools claim it's all the fault of "original sin" and free will. Of course they also believe God can force people to do things so they don't really believe in free will either but they blame Adam and the rest us for the problems, not God.
Reminds me of the late great Bill Hicks' riff about God creating cannabis.

I think he convinced me to stop calling myself Atheist, Antitheist sounds like a way more noble title to uphold.
I consider myself a misotheist - whether gods exist or not is largely irrelevant to me, I reject the principle of worship and religious control.
Whether a god exists or not, I reject the authority of people pretending to speak on it's behalf.
@@LadyDoomsinger That explanation defines Antitheism way better than Misotheism though.
@@alkatron768 There is some overlap - and I'll admit I'm pulling these definitions from memory, but as I understand the difference:
A Misotheist is a person who accepts the existence (or potential existence) of a god or gods, but refuses to worship such entities.
An Anti-theist is a person who does not believe in a god or gods, and rejects the authority of religious organizations dedicated to the worship of such entities.
Since I do not reject the possibility of a god's existence (even if I consider it unlikely), and consider the god-claim irrelevant to my position on religious authority, I technically fall under the "misotheist" banner, even if the distinction is negligible. I also like the word "misotheist" better. It literally translates to something like "God-hater" 😁
@@LadyDoomsinger You misunderstand, not believing is not the same as believing it doesn't exist.
Per definition what people usually call Agnostic is what being Atheist actually means, and it extends to Antitheism.
Too bad there is no descriptor that I can find for people that strongly believe there is no god.
You said before you reject the authority and whether a god exists or not is irrelevant, that is Antitheism.
If you call yourself a misotheist you are saying you hate God, and therefore acknowledging its existence.
If you call yourself an antitheist you are saying you hate religious authority or the idea of religion without acknowledging God's existence.
@@alkatron768 I do hate god, as a concept, as a source of authority, and as an object of worship - whether it is real or not. That is why I call myself a misotheist.
I can agree to being *both* a misotheist as well as an anti-theist, like I said: the distinction is pretty insignificant. I just like the word better because it literally means "god-hater", which describes my position better.

Of all the lying creationist liars, Matt Powell is the lyingest.
matt was never a True Free Thinker.
Hello thank you for what you do.🖖
This rant makes me think: Does Matt Powell know what *eating* is? Does he know how metabolism works? Is he a Breatharian?
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?
And now we are past the point of Abiogenesis. The rest is part of evolution.
But maybe expecting those people to understand Biology is probably a bit much. Especially when they want to force magic into science, while believing in their own magic person.
Would I become a Christian, if Christianity were true? No - because I would not worship a monster. I would, however, become a theist.
The term is "misotheist" - a person who accepts the existence of a god or gods, but rejects the worship of such an entity.
Not to be confused with "anti-theist" - a person who does not believe in a god or gods, and rejects the authority of organizations dedicated to the worship of such entities.
@@LadyDoomsinger thank you- I didn't realize that there is a specific term for that. I was thinking 'anti-theist' at first, but that felt like it should have the definition you gave.
@@Phylaetra I don't think misotheist is generally used all that much in public discourse, which is probably why you didn't know the word - in these discussions the focus of debate usually hinges on "existence" vs. "nonexistence" making it a debate between theism and atheism - and people forget the (in my opinion) more relevant questions regarding the proposed god entity's supposed authority.
Matt Powell's smugness could melt Antarctica in an hour.. so irritating.. 😤
His hilarious demeanor doesn't get quite the attention it deserves. It's always overshadowed by the ridiculous nonsense he's saying.
@@dasbus9834 Matt annoys me to no end by belittling us. He also has a very predatory feel about him.
@@einienj3281 He is absolutely creepy. There was also this not-so-scripted video once where he's talking completely unhinged about his hate for certain groups. I have absolutely no doubt he'd get front row seats if they burned people at the stake again.
@@dasbus9834 I've seen a couple of clips.. He would be dancing around the fire..
the biggest issue is the use of wrong info to prove wrong info

Jesus is God. Jesus is perfect. That's why He withered a fig tree which was not in season for having no fruit on it. That is why He sent unclean spirits into hogs which preferred death and thus cost someone his livelihood. That's why He said to His mother "Woman, what have I to do do with thee?" That is why He told His disciples to leave their families and follow Him, so that those families, without their breadwinners, would have been left to starve. That is why He threw the money-changers out of the temple so that folks from afar hadn't the right money to buy sacrificial animals to be forgiven of their sins in accordance with Old Testament law, which Jesus came to fulfill, and even flogged those money-changers Yeah, Jesus is perfect. If you believe that then I have a tower in Paris and a bridge in London that I'll sell you real cheap. Jesus was a vicious, cruel, heartless monster just like His daddy. As for drugs, I only use legal ones for my high blood pressure and manic-depression. I don't drink alcohol. I'd wager that I act more like a Christian than Matty -and I am an atheist. My dad always told me to "use your head for something besides a hat-rack".
Well, technically, guys in Israel raising pigs were already rogue. No ham sammies or bacon for Jews.
It's interesting that he only cast the demons out and you know, didn't destroy them so they couldn't harm others.
Matt likes to combine all of the ridiculous arguments together.
Correlation is not equal to causation. 'nuff said.
I believed in sky daddy while I was in the throughs of alcoholism. I sobered up and am now an atheist 🤣
I love it when they just project.... Gives me a laugh! Also their ignorance to what we actually know from real research.
I've been an agnostic, then atheist, now a pantheist of sorts, ( probably would be considered an atheist by theists standards)
Yet I've never believed that the universe came from nothing, but ALL Matter EXISTED ALWAYS.
I've never believed that life came about from a rock, nor have I heard any scientific theories about the primordial soup coming from a rock!
theres is a soup from portugal made with a stone (sopa da pedra or stone soup) but i dont think matt has enough intelligence to know that
That watch is a Jaeger LeCoultre Polaris with Perpetual Calendar which goes for $52,500
He owns a million dollar home according to his Religious Exemption Application (No Mortgage)
And he drives a Tesla.
Seems like being Religous and spreading teh word does make him some considerable bank.

Thank you so much! This is going in the 15th June video!
Love rock appeared for nothing I would assume he was a sorcerer
I can feel my brain trying to runaway!
10:29 "We are trying to follow a perfect redeemer, a perfect saviour." -- by advocating the death penalty for homosexuals. And he wonders why atheists wouldn't follow his god even if did exist.
"You would say that I'm not a valid source of information." What do you know, Matt said something accurate for once. I mean, he said it in the context of a specific example, but it also just applies generally
My first thought when I heard Matt say " my friend " was " My friend. . .My ass"
12:35 Oh MY! 😅
Matt Powell "Do not be tricked into thinking, my friends."
Hey, Matt Powell says quote mining is good and fine.

What x-ian clam were you contesting?
“It was just some guy, you know. And he’s a space wizard who can do cool shit and stuff. He even poofed the whole universe out of nothing just for me (aren’t I special?🥰). But if you eat shrimp or touch yourself at night he’ll come down here and fuck you up!” lol... 🤪😝😝🤗😻👍 love all the lols that Matt provides us.

Wait.....
I'm in a group?

"Hi, I'm Matt. Professional liar and nearly real boy! My job is so easy because i don't have to back up any of my insane claims in any way! Why should i, when my followers will just accept it all on face value?"
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.
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".

13:50 Matt Powell is stealing one of Matt Dillahunty's points: "If I came out as [the other side} tomorrow I would be rich."
Maybe he should pay royalties to Dillahunty for that line?
