  • Seriously? I'm a nurse and I can assure you, paralysis is NOT caused by sin. Seriously, Grow up. I get pissed when my patients thank for God for what the doctors and the nurses did to them just so they could save his life. The best part, if something bad happens to the patient, they immediately blame the doctor/nurse. But if something good, it's always Gods doing. That's why I decided to changed my career path to becoming an astrophysicist. Too many ungrateful fucks in the world.

  • @jolohmm We are not priveleged to the things of the Spiritual realm.. we are manifest in the physical world only- But! Jesus lets us know that the battle is not one of flesh and bone but of evil forces in the heavens. This is Truth. Do not say this is not that or that is that because the Truth is you are not allowed to know what is what. So, you are beliving in things your mind believes in. I have learned "don't believe what you believe" after I was Saved. I was wrong ab everything.

  • @utubin67 Im going out for my walk. but I will check back later.

  • @utubin67 Have fun :) And yes, I believe what my mind believes because if there is a god and he gave me my mind, I'm sure he'd want me to use it ;)

  • @jolohmm you know God's Creation of the Universe and 'man' is for the Soul. Not to come and go unassumingly as though there is no meaning or purpose to being alive.. and yet everything God created around shows meaning and purpose in His Creation of the Universe and earth. So, what about the Soul? Do you think God puts anything over the Living Soul? The Soul is "LIFE" not a rock, or tree, or flower.. not like the life of a man's Soul.

  • Prov. 19:21 Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand.

  • @utubin67 So you're giving god credit for what you've done to yourself? You still wanna believe what the bible says?

    Deuteronomy 13:6-10 - stone your whole family

    Deuteronomy 21:18-21 stone your children

    Matthew 5:28 - look lustfully and you've sin

    Samuel 6:19 " . . . and the people lamented because the Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter."

    Exodus 21:2-21, Deuteronomy 15:16-1 slavery

    Deuteronomy 20:13-21:14 Prisoners of War

    i'd keep going but if you still can't see it

  • I see, so you've been able to physically see this "salvation"? You've also seen the Holy spirit?Nice. I guess i'm gonna have to convert now. Oh wait, everything that you just said came from the book that, again, was written by bored monks who didn't have anything else better to do. How do you expect anyone to believe a book that has the same historical credibility as much as dora the explorer?

    I suggest you read the bible cover to cover. You've obviously only read the cherry picked parts.

  • @jolohmm no one sees anything. It is all Spiritual all unseen. And you know what you said it "it is all written" and again post-Salvation this fact is a most awesome Testiment to God's Word it is the Truth, always was and will be... There is a bonding power in the face of retrospect truth in the present that was written in the retrospect of time itself. That is the Word of God.

  • @utubin67 I see... So if the bible says that there's a table in front of you even though you clearly don't see any, you'd believe it? Mind you that the bible suggests that you don't defend yourself in court, suggests that if you don't bear "fruit" you're going to hell. The bible also suggests that paralysis is caused by sin.

  • @jolohmm these are truths. But you don't like these truths. But it actually doesn't and won't matter what any man thinks or wants or believes... unless it is in Jesus Christ- Also the 'relationship' part of being a Christian is where transformation takes place and as I said before God is in control of the veils, the Truths and the Knowledge. All God's Control.

  • Oh... so paralysis is caused by sin..? I'm gona stop now. There's no use in talking to someone who believes that paralysis is caused by sin. rofl, peace out. Good luck with life ;)

  • @jolohmm look, listen to me about this part of life that you pretend to focus on.. as such things as paralysis- do not trick yourself in such matters they are far beyond your ability to grasp so grasp at the things you can for now which is the gospel. You have convinced no one of falsity. Falsity is a zero when Truth is within. But I can't expect you to understand that so what is there left for me to do for you and everyone, even my own family/? Pray. Seek!

  • @utubin67 I'm trying to understand what you're saying, but it's so damn hard, xD. No offense. If what you mean by truth is spiritual, well you haven't read my previous posts. I do have a relationship with the spirit of our universe. The poetry of beauty that encompasses everything in our universe, once you understand that, you too will feel the ecstasy of reality.

  • cont'd- here's an example of a man (me) I tried to earn God's Secrets through 'works' as though I were showing God.. 'hey, God look I'm good can you show me something'? Well, let's see how 'putting expectations on God ends up'- It ends up that you will suffer and suffer all those days and never get a thing, ever!

  • Cont'd 2-Jesus says 'do not test God' and I should have paid attention. When did God show me something? After I suffered an 8 year drug addiction that took my life. So, look God, look how good I am.

  • Cont'd 3-Dead and guess where? In Hell, on fire as it is written- struggling to breathe.. there was a loved one next to me who was already dead. How about that for a sign. So then what next? Next, I wake up in my bed. Weeping endlessly for the better part of two months. The drug addiction gone in two months. Repentance through weeping, trembling and for what? To Live.

  • cont'd 4- Please, I have been through it. It is not only real but it is far, far beyond the lowest form of sadness..it would have killed me only God's Grace increased as my addiction and rampant sins decreased- Repentance.. The Holy Spirit- Jesus Redeeming a Son. Me. It's almost two years later- Jesus says "I will Save you and return your youth to you" I would love to show you some photos. Let me know.

  • cont'd 5- Jesus is the Savior and He has the keys to death and hades. I know He does for a fact. Not because I read it. There are too many things that happened to even remember them all both before and after my Salvation

  • Cont'd 6- What is it to be 'Saved'? You ever hear someone weeping and saying "you saved my life"- When someone saves your life, do you not know that if not for them you would have died. So, then- you know the rules.. you go under water and can't swim.. you die. You were not careful and fell. You are alone. Do you not deserve to die? But who will Save you and if someone shows up.. will you not love Him forever? Your death too will come by your sin. But will Jesus Save you? Believe!

  • @utubin67 2.) I don't know what to tell you. You speak of salvation as if you've experienced it first hand. Bro, you just went through rehabilitation, no divine intervention necessary. Also, hades and jesus and in conflict since they are both from different religions =3 I salute you for being able to resolve your drug addiction. However, I respect you too much to respect what you believe in.

    The emotion that you get from all this stuff can be traceable to your neurons.

  • @utubin67 3.) When we don't have a scientific explanation for something, we tend to rely on supernatural explanations," said Professor Grafman, who believes in God. "Maybe obeying supernatural forces that we had no knowledge of made it easier for religious forms of belief to emerge.". In conclusion, humans have a "need' to rely on supernatural explanations. We've been doing that for 4000 years, seriously we need to grow up as homo sapiens and stop believing in santa clause.

  • don't be so in awe of the sky

    that you let the gospel pass you by.

  • there is real poetry in the real world science is the poetry of reality

  • kills me when the religious tell me that science is a religion

    its a tool,in fact its the tool that invented the first tool

  • nothing is physical, everything is Spiritual- Spiritual War for the Soul- Between Christ and satan. The spiritual war takes place in Spiritual realms the expereinces are converted into this artificial 'physical' manifestation- the pain, the sin, the suffering.. all from the Spiritual Realm- manifested so as to accomplish a 'life experience' since we are mortal until we are Saved- Therefore if not Saved we die in the physical world. Who can Save us. Only one. Jesus.

  • @utubin67 I'd rather die here in the physical world than to live forever; forever worshiping a god who is so insecure that he created people specifically to worship him.

  • @jolohmm you're not including the fact of your and my and every human's 'nature' it is not a good nature! Jesus tells us that our every thought of our heart is evil constantly.. and it is.. but there is a veil over it and we are blind.. but the gospel is the beginning of seeing- however it cannot be accomplished without God who lifts veils. It's a choice to uravel our God within our hearts because He is in every single Heart. He is just a Glorious God. No man will ever trick Him. Ever!

  • @utubin67 You are right, human nature is not good, in fact, most of us are apathetic. But as homo sapiens, we've evolved to have thought. This thought empowers us to make decisions. These decisions carve our future. Our future generations will carry on our genes. Our genes are our identity as humans.

    Therefore, it is common sense to do good. Otherwise, we'd go extinct. That leaves no necessity for divine intervention to make people "good".

  • @jolohmm well you say we have evolved but I ask "into what"? are you saying "something good"? There is nothing good in this world, not one thing. At all. And there never was so it is the same. Wait, I must correct myself.. we have better plumbing and technology and food is in mass production.. but man? Still sons of Adam. Still constantly evil all the time. What is the answer? Jesus Christ is our mediator. No other.

  • @utubin67 I had just said that we have evolved to have thought... did you stop reading after the 2nd sentence...?

  • @jolohmm what 'thought' do we have today that has evolved? And what does that have to do with Salvation?

  • @utubin67 Maybe if you read my entire post your question might be answered. As for your question, why do you cling so much with the need for salvation? Has it ever occurred to you that there may really be no salvation?

    I've read the gospels. I find some very pleasant, I find some contradictory, I find some very ruthless, I find some of them very believable, I find some of them very unbelievable as well. In conclusion, the bible is a book written by a bunch of bored monks who didnt know anything.

  • @jolohmm You are mistaken. There is a pre and post Salvation. I am Saved. I know what it is. It is the Holy Spirit coming upon the Soul- It is Powerful, unlike anything of the flesh. This is the 'Trembling' and 'Quaking" that is written. When a man be Saved, what does he desire to do? To enlighten others. What else?

    'pre-Salvation' is 'not knowing. Salvation is Knowing. If nothing else, I am Glorifying Jesus who has Saved me. In truth, I died of my self. So I am alive by Him.Literally.

  • I watch your videos on a daily basis, and although you bust your ass to make new ones, I just cant get enough. There is very little out there aside from selected books and documentaries that can elevate me to the same spiritual heights others get from religion. Your work is a gift to us, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  • This is amazing

    

  • How much of a dork does using Symphony of Science as my primary iPod running playlist, or singing the refrains in my head during every Marine Corps PFT make me?

  • One Symphony of Science video makes the invention of AutoTune undeniably worth every second of Justin Bieber or Rebecca Black inflicted auditory penance.

  • @BlackOasis21 I'm bored now, sorry. Although in the English language, smart is how you dress, not how intelligent you are. I assume you're American in which case you used it correctly, I just find it interesting

  • >Play Symphony of Science while studying

    >Become master of Science

  • how could anyone dislike this? this song is beautiful

  • 0:37 watch out we got a badass of over here

  • Comment removed

  • @Mothsen

    I'm 16, have been watching these since 14, and the guy's name is John Boswell, not Josh.

  • The silence, emptiness and darkness persists

    But nothing dreams of thoughts

    These thoughts describe infinity

    Infinity comes as a vast ocean of atoms

    These atoms form the illusion of planets, stars and galaxies

    These bring forth life & evolution

    This life brings forth intelligent beings

    These intelligence beings begin to wonder

    Then these intelligence beings discover the poem, of which they are the end product of

  • John Boswell, it's time to add Brian Cox to a video! I guess a lot of people have seen Wonders of The Solar System, or Wonders of the Universe and it's time to make a tribute video with him as a singer (or what you may call the scientists are doing during the video, btw: Cox played in a dream as a keyboard player!)

  • @Fenorn yes yes yes a million times YES!

  • @Fenorn yes yes YES a million times YES!!!

  • @Fenorn He's already in one or two, can't remember which ones they are, but keep watching these and you'll see him. :D

  • They sound like kermit the frog singing!

  • I miss Sagan. :(

  • Molinos de viento? Ciencia? JAJAJAJAJAJ Eso señores, es el timo más grande del siglo 21.

  • Oh god my brain is going to explode with all these replys, there's only 1 actual comment that isn't a reply on the first comment page

  • SWEET PEOPLE, PLEASE DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS!

    Don't go under the bridge, stay up here with me:)

  • LOVE how passionate Brian Greene is in this one!!! It is like it is the most painful or the most joyous thing and he can only let it out a bit at a time or he will explode!!!!

  • Ok Ok, arguments aren't cool.

    Now back to the video...

    This is freaking awesome. Ok?

  • Science, it works bitches.

  • I was never a fan of auto-tune but the lyrics are actually poetic and meaningful

  • new evidence shows that albert enstien was wrong in his theories, new evidence shows that light had a difffernet speed than at the begining of the universe this almost ovetrturns everything we know about quantum physics, i find it very fascintating that on molecule can just disappear and another one reappear in a different place. or how molecules react to a laser beam before the laser even touches it, this is the science that fascinates me cant we all put our differences aside and live in peace

  • @meee2014 Where did you get this evidence from?

  • @IamBread18 Trough the wormhole

  • I have a testable theory about science videos on youtube: an atheist will always be the first to bring religion into the comments section, usually by--ironically--telling everyone else to leave religion out of it.

    I then go to the first page of the comments sections and work backwards.  Thusfar, my theory has tested with 100% accuracy.

  • I DEMAND A STEPHEN HAWKING SOLO!

  • Richard Dawkin's voice on autotune sounds awesome. By far, his is the voice I like most on the whole Symphony of Science music followed closely by Sagan's

  • I may be one of the last to discover the Symphonies of Science. That said I am moved by my discovery. Onward to the edge makes me weep.

  • Leave up to the atheist,and trolls to make everything about religion, to all atheist who have a superiority complex shut the fuck your not science... being an atheist doesn't make you a scientist, just because you took a few science courses in highschool, doesnt give you the right to look down on the obvious trolls who are pretending to be Christians, and sciene fags who act like science is pure and never hurts anyone like religion, fuck you to, look at bombs machine guns, and bio weapons.

  • @Mark0wnsYou

    Oh man, another one. Look at the crusades fought with those.

  • @keesengels Not saying religion is pure that be crazy !! just saying that things like a religion or a science have nothing to do with it being good or bad its just how people use them, not everything has to be black or white, dude... quit being a douche.

  • @Mark0wnsYou

    I'm not being a douche, this is dead serious. Steven Weinberg quote: "Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."

    - Religion allows people to overrule their inner moral compass for a fictional character as shaped by the guy preaching. That sounds pretty Nuernberg Ralleys, you know.

  • @keesengels As a scientist, Weinberg should know not to speak outside his area of expertise. He's not a sociologist.

    And how do you measure who a "good" person is or who an "evil" person is? If he claims to be a scientist, he shouldn't use terms like good and evil, which can't be measured or quantified.

  • @monkeysoulpoet

    "As a scientist, Weinberg should know not to speak outside his area of expertise. He's not a sociologist."

    - How classically Christian of you. "You are not an expert on ... so you have no right to criticise." Scientists, by definition, are people who are a bit brighter than most people. To dismiss his opinion because he didn't get a degree in the subject is to dismiss all believers talking about their religion because they didn't get a college degree in Bible studies...

  • @keesengels This has nothing to do with Christianity, it's simply the fact that he's making a sociological/anthropological statement without any background in the field. He has no idea what really makes people "good" or "evil," just his own observations. In that field, he has no more authority than anyone else.

    And by saying that some people are "good" and others are "evil" he is making a moral judgement, which has nothing to do with science.

  • @Mark0wnsYou Being an atheist makes you a logical thinker. And remember, scientists just discover. It's taxpayers, politicians, and governments that fund the development of them. Einstein didn't develop E=mc^2 because he wanted to kill 100k people, but because he had a passion for science. It was the government that ended up building and dropping the bomb. You're a fool, and you'll likely never know the infinite power of science, and for that, I pity you.

  • @chrisleighton3 I usually don't reply but dude c'mon get of your high horse, atheist are logical thinkers.. really? i'm pretty sure being atheist just means you don't believe in god, it has nothing to do with being smart , I have a friend whos going for his Ph.D in Physics, and hes christian, you are just ignorant and jump on the being-an-atheist bandwagon-makes-me-better-than­-you, I pity YOU for thinking your above everyone, AND that you have the world figured out..u dont

  • @Mark0wnsYou your point implies that academic achievement in specific areas defines intelligence, something which is debatable, I'm sure your friend is a very capable physicist but if he believes a 2000 year old book written by people with astronomically less knowledge of the universe than we have now is the word of god. then I do not believe he is an intelligent human being.

  • @sheldonlt Well said.

  • @sheldonlt But you believe that not believing in god, makes you smart....SO ARROGANT !! thats why I don't even like calling myself an atheist because of people like you, judging someone on something as trivial as their religion, is sick, its wrong and its about the stupidest thing I ever heard, you are stereotyping every christian as someone inferior and dumber, you are no different than a racist.

  • @Mark0wnsYou Actually, I am a buddhist. So you don't have to worry about calling yourself an atheist. Additionally, I believe that using rational thought and logic you can come to the conclusion that the people who started theistic religions invented the concept as a way of controlling people by fear. If someone is incapable of perceiving this then no, I don't consider them intelligent, that's not arrogant. I didn't say I was superior as people can change religious beliefs, unlike skin colour.

  • @sheldonlt I don't disagree about that dude, dont flip this conversation i'm not defending religion here, dont make this into something it is not, I am simply pointing out how atheism has become more of a hate group than a believe how for some reason we are measuring intelligence by what you have faith in, for example Kevin Warwick a pretty crazy dude does not believe we live in absolute reality, yet hes one of the brilliant mind of the 21st century

  • @Mark0wnsYou Unfortunately, all beliefs have their extremists and YouTube seems to be where they come out. I believe the fact that belief in the teachings of a 2000 year old book shows the lack of an ability to question. The ability to question is predominately a human trait and it's the reason we are at the level of science, technology, art and society currently by asking why/how/when and doing so can only push us forward, faith inhibits the ability to ask questions as it claims to have answers

  • @sheldonlt I agree that there is no absolute truth, and the religion say there is, but we're not talking about that, you are saying if someone is christian that they inherently dumb, By the way just so you know, you preach that people should have the ability to question and the bible prohibits them for doing so,TONS of scientific theories where wrong absolutely wrong, but people from there centuries believed them like you believe in modern theories, look up the the Spontaneous Generat

  • @Mark0wnsYou and I was just explaining why I believe religious people are inherently less intelligent... That's the beauty of not believing what religions presents, scientists don't claim to have all the answers, if a theory gets disproven then great, that's progress, I'm still happy. I don't see your point here...

  • @sheldonlt My point was you follow science as blindly as christian follow the bible, you dont question any science theories like you claim people should, think about Quantum Entanglement, sounds pretty far-fetched to me, "we are all one, we are all a part of a greater being" that's basically what it states, you are intelligent person but your prejudice against religion or anything you find odd blinds you, you can believe what you want, but you are just as ignorant asreligiouspeople

  • @Mark0wnsYou I'm sorry, what? I don't question science? When did we establish that? One of my favourite hobbies is questioning whether scientific theories can truly be correct, I wouldn't believe a theory if I had reason not to. I don't know enough about quantum entanglement to comment specifically, it seems far-fetched to me too but I hand that to me not fully understanding the subject area.

  • @sheldonlt If you don't understand that I doubt you will understand why people like believing in a god, not everything is black and white, just because I don't like something, or don't believe in something, Doesn't mean I have the right to shun the people that do, I'm done arguing with you. You have an overwhelming superiority complex, and this is gonna go nowhere lets agree to disagree and get on with our lives

  • @Mark0wnsYou Right, I have given clear reasoning as backing for my points it would be good of you to do the same for your point to be reliable.The only questions science can't answer are the 'why' questions and that is because they are a product of norms in society. You claims that I have a superiority complex are also unfounded as I am happy to admit when I believe somebody is cleverer than me. People that believe in religion just aren't those people as they are incapable of rational thought.

  • @sheldonlt This is a nice video, be nice.

  • Comment removed

  • @hurt4alleternity Discussing such topics shouldn't be considered taboo and besides, I'm not using offensive language, I don't see how I am being particularly unkind.

  • @sheldonlt Besides that, he never specified which denomination of Christianity this guy believes in. The bible is a book of theologies not a science textbook. His beliefs don't hinder his intelligence friend. I was raised by a Christian family, and while I don't subscribe to that belief system, I find it extreme to say everyone of the Christian people in my life I know and love are unintelligent. People may be incorrect in their belief, but that doesn't make them stupid.

  • @hurt4alleternity As I've said in previous responses, the fact that anyone would just take the words of a 2000 year old book as fact shows the lack of an ability to question things. You obviously have that ability to question things even if you were raised on them, as I was. The belief that any ancient religion can know the answers of the universe, which just to clarify, Buddhism doesn't do, is something only an unintelligent person would blindly accept.

  • @sheldonlt Actually, the problem is that people like that are very intelligent human beings. The smarter you are, the better you are at rationalising things, so if you desperately want to believe something - for instance, if you've been told practically from birth that morality is based around believing a group of claims are true, and you want to think of yourself as a good person - you can explain away contradicting evidence.

  • @EvansRowan123 Except they can't explain away contradictory evidence. If it were possible to explain away evidence then people wouldn't even bother with science. If a religious person tries to rationalise irrational behaviour, then there is something not right there. If it comforts them, that's fine, it's not my place to deprive someone of comfort, but you can't conclude that religions have knowledge rationally because they simply don't.

  • @sheldonlt Well, yeah, the explanation used in this context would be a made up explanation, or in other words a lie. You don't have to be stupid to be crazy, and it doesn't necessarily even help.

  • @EvansRowan123 but not everyone who believes a lie is insane, I believe you have to be stupid not to question your beliefs and once presented with the evidence, you have to be insane to still choose religion.

  • @sheldonlt Intelligent people accept it as well. What you believe doesn't decide your intelligence, though it can hinder it.

  • @hurt4alleternity I completely agree, so whilst religious people continue to believe in something which cannot be rationalised or justified by logic, then they are forever capped at the extent of their intelligence.

  • @sheldonlt Exactly, just because you are learned in one field does not mean you aren't prone to ignorance or stupidity in regards to another subject.

  • @sheldonlt That was a perfect response.

  • Why did god forget to mention anything about the other galaxies and evolution? I mean he could have just said "hey yo humans by the way i'm gonna make sure you evolve for billions of years so that you are ready to worship me' i mean how hard is that? instead of letting us dig fossils up and builds microscopes to look at how we're made... i'm just saying

  • @ba252504 An Australian comedian made a great joke that 'If I were god, just so people knew I was serious, I would've whispered to Jesus and said "Hey, tell 'em it's round" that'll fuck with 'em!' This made me realise, the bible was written when the majority of people believed the earth was flat... It makes me sad that people will just blindly believe such things.

  • @sheldonlt I believe you to be an unintelligent being due to your lack of knowledge of basic definitions of words. Intelligence is knowledge on ANY subject. There are christian physicists. Although I disagree with the belief I somewhat respect it. It's idiots like you that hold the world back from advancement into the cosmos. Before putting someone else down I suggest you look in the mirror and see just how pathetic you are.

  • @gtas321 I don't agree that intelligence can be put down to knowledge in any subject. I would say that is an example of good memory. People with good memory can hold knowledge but intelligent people can analyse, question and improve knowledge. I didn't say there weren't Christian scientists. Additionally, you do not know the meaning of cosmos, as we cannot advance into the cosmos because we are part of the cosmos. I didn't put anyone down. merely their irrational and superstitious beliefs.

  • @sheldonlt No. Completely wrong. Smart people can Analyze, question, and synthesize. Intelligence is simply knowledge on a subject. Intelligence people and recollect and use this in order to solve basic problems. Like this: A detective is smart. A news paper writer is intelligent. Two different things, as opposed to popular belief. You also purposefully gave a wrong definition of the world Cosmos. Cosmos is the universe, which is everything. The universe is most commonly referred to as outer..

  • @gtas321 So if my definition of the cosmos was wrong that means you are saying that we are not part of the universe... I don't believe you think that so I'll let you take back the accusation that I gave a wrong definition. The dictionary defines intelligence as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills, nowhere does it say this is only for individual areas. Additionally, 'clever' is defined as 'quick to understand, learn, and devise or apply ideas; intelligent'.

  • @sheldonlt We are part of the universe but you knew what I meant but purposefully misinterpreted it for the purpose of the debate. Exactly what I mean, it could be on ANY skill or any subject. It's intelligence... A simple example would be the CIA. Central Intellgence Agency. Responsible for gathering information or "intelligence".

  • @gtas321 but it doesn't say within a specific subject. The CIA gathers information and applies it in a variety of measures. If someone applies knowledge in one subject but is incapable of doing so in another that shows that they can't truly apply knowledge so whilst they are intelligent to an extent, they are less so because they are incapable of applying knowledge to their own beliefs.

  • @sheldonlt When you follow a religion you usually apply your intelligence on the religion to your life. Now to be able to apply it to a variety of subjects then you would have to be smart.

  • @sheldonlt The cosmos is most commonly referred to as outer-space.

  • @sheldonlt Also instead of world I meant word. I suppose it's the autocorrect.

  • @sheldonlt I'd just like to call you out on that genetic fallacy. Referencing the age or origin of a document as being indicative of it's falsehood is illogical. Certain sections of the Bible can be proved true or false, but the God hypothesis cannot. As there is a lack of evidence either way, the only logical option is to suspend belief. Neither believe nor disbelieve. Neither the theist nor the atheist is any more intelligent than the other.

  • @Theroha Atheism is not the empirical claim that there is no god. Simply that there is no current evidence/reason to believe in one. Therefore the atheist point of view is a rejection of belief in a god.

  • @sheldonlt onslaught147 is smarter than most of you bitches on here.

  • @sheldonlt And your point assumes that modern logic and empiricism must be strictly adhered to in order to be an intelligent human being, something which is falsifiable given that some of the greatest scientific minds were devout theists (e.g. Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics).

  • @DrTruthiness God of gaps my friend. Those gaps are slowly being filled, soon my friend, the gaps will be so small that theism will be easily related to myths.

  • @jolohmm It is impossible to fill those gaps without abandoning the nonsensical idea that logic and empiricism are the only ways with which to interpret reality. This is akin to worshipping the eyes, while cutting off the ears, tongue, nose, and sense of touch.

    I will not throw off the chains of ignorant theism only to willingly shackle myself in this insane idea that logical empiricism must be worshiped as the only infallible way to live intelligently.

  • @DrTruthiness You are absolutely right. The idea that logic and empiricism may not be the only way to interpret reality. But I'm sure interpreting reality by suggesting that we were all created to worship a God is a much sadder reality than that of only pure logic and empiricism.

    Understanding that every molecule in your body can be traced to the farthest reaches of our galaxy is beyond spiritual. It's Ecstasy in its psychological form

  • @jolohmm I would agree with you. Limiting the purpose of human beings solely to the idea that we must worship what other human beings claim is God is not my vision of human beings actualizing their potential.

    My vision of an ideal human mind is one that can both appreciate the wisdom of belief and the intelligence

  • in taking human observation to its farthest reaches. I do not believe a man must reject theism in order to think intelligently, comprehend reality accurately, or shed enlightenment on an ignorant world.

  • @DrTruthiness Precisely, understanding knowledge and intelligence spiritually is what I would call my religion. That's what's so great about science. Everything changes based on new things that are stumbled upon. Eventually, who knows, there may be a different way of perceiving reality.

    Unfortunately today, religions tend to project the idea that worshiping a god is the point of our existence.

  • @jolohmm a different way of perceiving reality? sounds outlandish. I think, as humans, we are restricted to perceiving it with our minds, which are machines of reason and logic. Perhaps one day we'll surpass our humanity and be able to experience the world differently, but until then I highly doubt we are capable of doing so.

  • @branahawk We are restricted by our self-proclaimed leaders only allowing us to be educated in what they want to be educated in.... BEING A SLAVE TO THE CORRUPT SYSTEM!.

  • @B00MK rest assured, there isn't a global conspiracy (which, in fact, aids mankind) called science. there is political propaganda and corruption, but none of the natural sciences have anything to do with that.

  • @branahawk It's just a thought. Perhaps eventually our minds may evolve to experience the universe in a completely different level. As homo sapiens, we are restricted to perceiving it with our minds, you are correct. We are essentially biological machines. What I'm suggesting is that when a person understands how the universe works in a poetic language, it gives the same amount of spiritual ecstasy as would religion.

  • @jolohmm oh definetly. "we are a way for the cosmos to know itself" - mind-blowing concept.

  • @jolohmm just finished reading your guys' conversation and I must say you have successfully blown my mind

  • @jolohmm Our point? I think our point is to do good things in the world, regardless if you follow the word of a God or not. It's up to the individual to find out what they think is so.

  • @ShakinJamacian Exactly. But as i've said, religion pushes the perception that our point is to solely worship god(s) (of course depending on your religion, that is).

  • @jolohmm Yes. I think if there is a God, it's good to respect It/Her/Him, but I really doubt that we're gonna suffer for having will and thought, as long as it isn't done for evil.

    Wondering of the world is not evil, but good. Closing your mind off, and harassing those who do not agree to you surely are not the true intentions of a God, but perhaps the foolish cattle who naively assume so. Otherwise we would never have the power to question and come up with our own views.

    I think I'm a deist.

  • @ShakinJamacian Yep. As we all know, religion is fine since its a personal belief. But when religion steps into the door of science, politics, society-based decisions, etc., only then will the problem exist. You don't see science teachers going to churches to teach evolution.

    Exactly, about the "...power to question..." part. The fact that a God allows this to happen on a daily basis just means that he probably doesn't give a damn about his creations (assuming that he does exist).

  • @Mark0wnsYou Being atheist doesn't mean one is smart; it means there is greater probability that one is smart relative to theists. It's correlation and not a correlation of 1.00 at that. With that said, being religious is irrational.

  • @chrisleighton3 Yes, and Einstein said that if he had known what they would have done with his work he would have become a watchmaker.

    There are some scientist who indeed have no moral or ethical qualms about what their work does. Look up Edward Teller, the basis for Dr. Strangelove.

  • @chrisleighton3

    "Being an atheist makes you a logical thinker."

    If only things were so easy I'd never argue with other atheists over anything objective. No, you've got it just the wrong way around. Being a logical thinker makes you an atheist.

  • Youtube search: The Science Rap! by Ali G

  • Guys can we stop fighting? We came here to enjoy the music, not to fight. Hold your beliefs for another time. For right now, however, let us just sit back, relax, and bathe in the melody :D

  • why is this blocked by GEMA?!

  • :-))

  • to all religous people and atheists alike: this has literally nothing to do with fucking religon.

  • I find it funny that people think they are funny when they say they think it's funny that Steven Hawking's voice didn't need to be altered...

  • can we just leave all the hate about religion and science out of this and just enjoy the song

  • I saw a comment that said religion brought us to america... those that studied the structure and building the ships to sail across the sea would beg to differ.

  • Oh yah one last thing i dont hate science i just hate morons who go on these types of videos and put down oh yah well guess what im an atheist and i think all the other religions just give it a rest i hate to say burst your bubble science and religion are brothers they are always in struggle though one can not live without the other filling in the gaps

    Just a word to the wise i dont care i like science but i dont like duchebags who make fun of what others around the world believe

  • @RedemptionFallen Dude...does your "shift" key work? And do you understand the reason for punctuation marks? It's like I am reading an eight year-olds typing.

  • @RedemptionFallen Yes, Science and Religion are like brothers. Science is the smart brother and Religion is the mentally challenged brother. Both working together to disprove one another.

  • @Letzbehonest

    And as far as not being able to live without one another goes: losing the retarded brother would be a loss, but the little sister -imagination- could fill that void. She's much more pure and just as good at seeing the beauty of things.

  • @Letzbehonest exactly, thank you i was going brain dead when writing it last night. Thats what agree with 100 percent

  • @RedemptionFallen The only way science and religion are alike is they answer questions ( they don't even answer questions in the same way). What's wrong for making fun of someone whne what they think is crazy?

  • @RedemptionFallen Humanity can survive without religion. It can't survive without science.

  • this song really speaks to me more than religion

  • will ppl stop with this "stephen hawking sounding the same" crap? its a computer and NOT his voice.

  • Ohhhhh man, I bust a nut laughing when Hawking didn't sound any different than usual.

    Also, Richard Dawkins sounds surprisingly great o_o

    >Dat accent

  • Reminds me GLaDOS...

  • >Religion made the US.

  • Comment removed

  • @ChaseTheAceJeffery

    No, I'm pretty sure that was the declaration of independence.

  • @BlockisticStudios

    You know, I'm pretty sure America was founded for freedom, one of the main ones being "Freedom of Religion". The support for this freedom led to the Declaration. Plus, there's, you know "Under God" in the pledge...

    But what do I know, since I'm not an atheist, I must be an illogical thinker, because there is definitely proof there is no God.

    ..

    ..

    Oh wait, there isn't. I'm not saying he exists, either.

    Anyway, I have made my statement.

  • @ChaseTheAceJeffery

    "Plus, there's, you know "Under God" in the pledge..."

    - ,,,which was added in the 1950, Just sayin'

  • there are no related videos because there isn't anything else quite like this. That is amazing.

  • pebbles got a great taste in music

  • @HardcoreGamerish

    Go fuck yourself forever you indignant worm.

  • @HardcoreGamerish

    You are? Shame...
