Great video! An epic win! I often chuckle at those poor souls that might believe such garbage as evolution. Such idling philosophers. I take comfort in knowing they pose no real threat to science or those with common sense. Keep at the videos!
So you've proved that there was a universe-creating god, or gods, or race of gods, but they're all dead now right? ... or maybe there IS just one God and he's still alive and he thinks you're a complete cunt.
Ok so let me try to get this moron's argument straight:
Because science can't determine the exact first cause of the universe, they must be claiming that it came from nothing...
...therefore GOD automatically must have created it because he is classified as "something"...???
You retarded fucking douche: Science has never once claimed the universe came from "nothing". All it claims is that we simply DO NOT KNOW. He just made that shit up!
"moron" Ad Hominem attacks has no room in intellectual debates. And shows a lack of intellectual honesty. He is not proposing "God of the gaps" inference to explain the nature of the universe, rather he is showing how the atheistic worldview is irrational, and the mono-theistic Christian worldview is rational. He's just showing how the atheistic worldview is inadequate, insufficient, and arbitrary, and contradictory.
The 1st premise is predicated on the assertion that science should sometimes accept supernatural causes. How would science find or test a supernatural cause? He then argues against the Big Bang theory by explaining that it suggests that everything comes from nothing. Wrong! A singularity is not nothing. He preaches and repeats a long didactic straw man argument and bases his philosophy on this simple misunderstanding/lie. He has a cute presentation style but not very many ideas worth pursuing.
The evolutionist theory is predicated on the assumption that science should accept that neutral energy can suddenly and explosively combust, expand, and create an entire Universe full of marvel and splendour. Not to mention the impossible feat of life being generated from inertness. Sounds pretty supernatural to me. You're an idiot oh robert the 65th
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Its pretty pathetic trying to proove God when it is impossible to proove or disproove. Saying look at the world and you must acknowledge a God exists is the same as saying look at the world and you must acknowledge evolution.
And these Christians use their own book as proof, kinda like Hitler quoting Mien Kampf to proove his theory on racial purity and his attitude to Jews.
thanks alot for you introductionary text, since it says "Dr. Fernandes presents evidence for God's existence by appealing to common aspects of human experience. " a personal or common experience can not and will not be Ever considered as proof of anything. its kinda the reason we humans started developing the scientific method to weed out bullshit claims of any sort
While empirical law of science proves that all things have a cause, there cannot be and infinite number of causes. This is because if there were, it would be impossible to arrive at the current moment in time, and time therefore would not exist. Thus, there is a First Cause. The First Cause must be Personal, because it, cause of all else, chose to cause it to be instead of allowing nothingness to continue. The First cause is the Creator. The Creator is God.
"The belief that our wondrous universe could have evolved by blind chance is crazy. And I do not at all mean crazy in the sense of a slangy invective but rather in the technical meaning of psychotic. Indeed such a view has much in common with certain aspects of schizophrenic thinking."
at around 19:00 he starts his argument about 'scientism'. he claims that true science is about examining nature and then finding causes. and he says that if those causes are supernatural, so be it?!?! Rene Descartes (a Christan philosopher & founder of modern science) would never agree with such an absurd comment as the scientific method is about discoveries from empirical knowledge only; that in itself nullifies Dr. Fernandes' notion of supernatural findings in nature.
i agree.. his comment is just a cop-out. Theists these days find a gap in science and they plug it in with their convenient 'god' because the scientists havent found an answer yet. Thats exactly what this guy is doing.
yea.. There are actually some good arguments for the existence of a god but even if he has used one (which he hadn´t) that would still not explain why Christian theism specifically is justified.. his argument are full of holes and his focus is distorted. I dont know much a bout philosophists tho but a philosopher he is not. Philosophers would never forego reason for unjustified ´leaps of faith´ even the founder of that term G. Hegel thought that true leaps of faith are justified by reason.
Indeed, gaps like the existence of logic, morality, truth, and even the existence of consciousness. Gaps like the anthropic nature of the ENTIRE UNIVERSE. Gaps that range from true miracles to dreams and visions of future times and places never before seen (which we've all experienced in one form or another). Yes, those gaps. Of course, given enough time, science will discover how things work ... but never why.
Rene Descartes actually devolved into pure skepticism on his search for one presupposition that could stand on it's own, thus: "I think, therefore I am" (which is actually a paraphrase of Augustine's ideas). As for scientism, the belief that supernatural causes can not exist or be studied, simply denies the argument. Saying the universe came about by itself is a religious statement, not a scientific one; it can not be tested empirically.
Re-read my second comment. I never denied the existence of god but he is attempting to show why the Christian brand of theism correct but he never shows valid proofs for why that is the case..
I don't believe that was his intention. Proving there is a god and proving the existence of the Christian god are two different arguments. I believe his arguments were intended to provide evidence for theism.
In the case of Christian theism, the miracles of Jesus are pretty good historical evidence. There is no proof that anyone at the time denied either the miracles or the resurrection of the Christian Jesus until well into the second century. They just tried to explain it away. Interesting.
I'm impressed! Before the Big Bang there was something! What a leap of faith!!! I can't think of any reputable astrophysicist who is willing to take that hypothesis and proclaim it to be a statement of fact.
Were you there? Perhaps you have some evidence to back that up? Or perhaps you have merely a story ... a fairy tale about how things might have begun, repeated like any "big lie" by parrots in schools, colleges, and finally on YouTube, until all believe.
