    ...argument for why people shouldn't be allowed to marry anyone of any sex they desire, AND why the government should have any say in the matter, then shut the hell up.

    @Terry: good grief, if you're going to call the show and spew a bunch of crap that you don't even believe, can you at least be coherent and succinct?

  • @EvolvedAtheist: even amidst your nonsense about nonexistent Strawman fallacies, hypo theses (lmao), and other irrelevant tangents, I understood that you were arguing against changing the "definition" of marriage - that is, the widely accepted definition (which is NOT in the Constitution, by the way). Perhaps you forget that marriage is a social institution that we created and its "definition" HAS changed throughout history. WE decide what marriage means, and until you can provide a reasoned

  • Pardon my ignorance, but this is the first time I heard of the zero-energy universe hypothesis. If the total energy of the universe is zero, how do we have matter? Or information?

  • jeez, the lady at the beginning annoyed me so much i almost hit the thumbs down button!!

  • I am hazy from drugs.

  • omg the first caller is talking so sloooooooow........... all she is saying is "we dont know what caused the big bang, so it could just be god" done.

  • Argh Matt, you needed to explain to the first caller the differences between the laws of physics and the logical absolutes.

  • ARGHHHHHH , evolvedatheist stop being so hung up on STRAWMAN BLAH BLAHhhhhh answer MATTS question ....... why are you opposed to gay marriage.

  • Ugh.....Terry don't ever call again.

  • The black guy at the end was complete loony.

  • wtf is up with the camera XD

  • @3dgisawsome Wtf is up with you! lol lol lol XD XD XD XD XD XD

  • "I'm not cornered, you TOOL." ha ha... you tell him, Matt! ^^

  • I fucking love Jeff's tshirt.

  • lol Jeff dee was stuck in traffic. xD

  • iron maidens mascot eddie is the true ruler of the universe, his evil twin brother created the holybooks to make people leave truth of iron maiden. now bruce dickison is spreading to good word of eddie...

    you cannot disprove this therefore its true

  • @ShooterCinema is there some sort of weekly gathering you know of where i could recieve more information on this brilliant truth?

  • i love the show but absolutely hate that opening song

  • a hippopotamus named rupert created the universe. $10,000,000,000 to anyone that can prove me wrong. the hippothesis is forreal

  • I really like the probability arguments for a natural universe. You can see the probability is 1 in 3883428234848485489929 or whatever, but if you do, raise it to the 10th power and that's the probability of an all powerful ethereal creature to appear spontaneously out of "nothingness". And that's just taking into account the power to spawn a universe, but if you want to add omniscience and omnipresence and etc, then you probably gotta add a few more digits.

  • @grimordwow it's actually closer to 1 in a number that would take generations of humans to write out, and is always growing as science advances

  • Holy shit the first one was annoying to listen to

  • @TomVodkaCollins, it if a side effect of popping bullshit right off the top of their heads. Not all of them are so good at improvisation.

  • Ever notice how theists struggle to get a single sentence of their argument out? Why can they not perfect at least an opening statement so they don't sound like complete imbeciles right out of the gate?

  • @TomVodkaCollins What's sad is the number of times I've heard a theist ramble on and on like that and then claim the the rational response give to their question doesn't answer it, usually because of something they forgot to mention in their ramblings.

    It's pretty sad.

    On the other hand, I know atheists who have as much trouble expressing themselves. Fortunately there are fewer of those :)

  • @TheMonk72 A more rational mind would be more apt at constructing and expressing a clear thought. Perhaps I'm over-simplifying, but it would have to be difficult to explain and defend something you don't truly understand. Cogency requires cognizance.

  • ill debate with you right now, buddy ! :P hahahaha

  • I think the more important wuestion is "why there are still some." "It is lamentable that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind"-Voltaire.

  • EvolvedAtheist is a troll, an imbecile or a christian posing as an atheist to paint us with his stupidity.  He is only one or more of those, and nothing else, plain and simple. Give him not ONE MORE SECOND of air time.

  • Michael Jackson was kinda GAY.  still a great artist.

  • Actually, if you can substitute any word in a statement, then you're playing MAD-LIB, and what you're saying is NON-SENSE.

    Some one NEEDS to publish a MAD-LIB BIBLE.

    "In the Beginning was the _________."

  • Lol, I've spoken to the guy at 19:08, not too bright...

    His YT name is "namesameasu", look him up, entertainment guaranteed ;).

    [☢CAUTION☢] Prolonged exposure leads to severe headache, possibly due to excessive facepalming [☢CAUTION☢]

  • @RealistMe

    When you find it, lemme know.

    Friend invites will be sent ;).

  • I think Odin did it.

  • @knightone57 Jesus promised the end of all wicked people. Odin promised the end of all ice giants.

    I don't see many ice giants around, do you?

  • @TaoTeChing00 I guess Odin kept his promise.

  • Comment removed

  • Love @TheAtheistExperience but Evolved Atheist made me laugh out loud. Love this episode. Genius!

  • The first caller is making the classical argument from first cause. If the Universe were caused, (big if) then it is legitimate to ask what caused it. One possible answer is God's will. The problem is that all this gets you is an argument that God is possible, not that he exists. At most, with some other elements, it can get you to Deism. Theism, the belief that there is a personal God who cares about humans, is another few stops down the line, and the tracks have been torn up.

  • Man if its one thing that irritates me is when you argue with someone who's not so good with english but is trying to have an intellectual argument/conversation, you barely understand the mix of words and then they use that to prove there point.

    I think they know that they do this....lol

  • Not understanding fractions, does not mean that it is equally likely that one-third of nine, is 1/3rd, 27, or three.

    "Hypo thesis"

    "I'm an Atheist, right?"

    Oh brother.

    EvolvedAtheist, is the most transparent Theist, whom I've ever heard on the show.

    And bragging about how he "screwed your stawman"?

    Freud would have a field day with that.

    It wouldn't surprise me if he has sexual-fantasies about VenomFangX every night.

  • I think that "Evolved Atheist" caller has actually devolved. Notice how he can't even formulate his own thoughts? All he is left with is repeating his claim all over again, not realizing what he is doing.

  • the first caller took a really long time to say almost nothing

  • love how they sit there for 20 seconds doing nothing

  • Comment removed

  • what does atheist have to do with gay people 

  • @FIGHTFANNERD3 absolutely nothing :)

    athiest is simply the disbelief in a god,

    you can be an anti-gay athiest, but we have no book commanding us to be anti-gay its all just personal thoughts

    i honestly dont mind gays and i dont see why they can't get married, its noone elses business :)

  • In the first ep he called in they mentioned the "strong man phallacy" and he just never understood what that actually is.

  • @zeldaofarel

    (facepalm)

    That's spelt "FALLACY", you nitwit.

    "Phallic" refers to the penis (AKA, the "phallus").

  • I love Matt and Jeff. They are the 2 greatest hosts I've ever heard........ or seen (SEXY) :D

  • So ... Matt caused the big bang X'D

  • After listening to these callers, I'm reminded of Bill Hicks's bit about filling up his hump of hatred every so often.

    If I am ever feeling unusually optimistic about the thought processes of the American people, all I have to do is watch TAE, and my despair shoots right back up.

  • Fuck the black guy.

  • Wait, didn't that Evolved Atheist buddy call during an another episode with the exact same point ? I think the point that he was making was that the label marriage involved the union between a man and a woman, and gays shouldn't get married because it does not fit with the meaning, but if you just replaced the word with another word with the definition of "union regardless of the sex", he was entirely OK with it ? Anyone else remembers that ?

  • @Quartrez I remember. He's still a fucking bigoted, homophobic douche.

  • @TheBiAtheist Indeed.

  • "You're cornered aren't you?"

    LOL

  • The first caller should have been cut off from the start, total nonsense......say for example god created the universe....then for example its all true cause the bible so

  • I should found the church of bigfoot.

  • Here in NZ we made a diffrent thing for Gay marriges to call themselves. I hate it. But atleast legally they can now have these rights.

  • and I'm so much of an atheist that I aborted baby jesus....

  • Comment removed

  • I can hear Transformers in the backround sound transforming.

  • The Big Bang created this bit of spacetime, we can not say it created spacetime. Prior to the big bang spacetime is thought to be in fluctuation, meaning that space and time were in constant change.

    The big bang was an example of harmony from chaos. The Big bang is a temporary harmony in the chaos.

    Also his 75%/25% number is wrong, it is 99.999%/0.0001% of physicists believe in some kind of god. That is at best, mosts stats say 100%/0%.

  • @Silentsam7532 spacetime is in constant fluctuation meaning that space and time ARE in constant change.

    Space and time is constantly expanding. and at any point it could contract.

  • @zacdbostick Space and time are not as seperate as you think. Some prefer to just call it space time, I personally am leaning to phase space which has 8 dimensions including 3 for momentum and 1 for energy.

    By fluctuation i ment that bits of space and time were in constant change, expanding and shirinking in more directions than we perceive.

    Why is the 'ARE' capitalized as if you made a point?

    I wouldn't say that spacetime could contract at any time,especially with Dark Energy.

  • @Silentsam7532 whats funny is in the bill maher documentary religilous a statistic popped up that 93% of the scientists in the american science association are atheists or agnostic 

  • @clownassassin09 When you break that statistic down further you find that most of the 7% left are not physicists, and primarily only hold bacholers of science degrees.

  • jeff dees eyebrows are like eagles wings

  • ALL HAIL COSMIC BIGFOOT!

  • "I'm so far away from religion as an atheist that I completely missed the point of what I claim to be."

  • hy-po-thesus! lmfao

  • HYP-O-THEEEZUS!!!

  • @EthanNin0 That's Hype-O'-Thethus

  • Man that Evolved Atheist character is hilarious, they should put him on the show weekly.

  • @Judicial78 No, please dont, atheist would look like crazy people

  • @angie9222 Like that would change anything :P

  • 41:10

    I "boycott" his music because it just plain sucks.

  • That evolved atheist guy certainly knows the rules of debating. its just a shame that he doesn't follow them.

  • The argument against gay marriage does not make any sense. Why should gay people have a separate title for being married. The US Supreme Court has already ruled that separate but equal is inherently unequal. Either gays can get married or we should all not being able to get married.

  • Lol at ass hat

  • Oh come on guys...the "strong man fallacy". I mean haven't you heard of that? Seriously you guys need to know the "strong man fallacy"! It's my hypo thesis.

    Atheism certainly doesn't cure you from stupidity it seems.

  • @gregatron5000 - Uh, it's called the "straw man" not "strong man" fallacy. Books.... heard of them?

  • @mnkittel clearly you missed the scarasm.

  • 18 people believe in god lol

  • Go Cosmic Bigfoot!

  • Haha "I'm not cornered, you TOOL" epic

  • @TheRenoReviews - Matt is the epitome of EPIC.

  • Hypo Thesis? Hahaaaaaa

  • "hypothesis" = - i pulled it straight out of my ass.. it was painful, but worth it because now i feel like a genius.

  • Doesn't Jeff Dee look like Jack Nicholson?

  • @tarsonis10

    A little bit actually.

  • that white gay african american is so fucking annoying and ignorant ahaha my god.... i love these guys just tellin people whats up with common sense. am i aloud to call if im under 18?

  • Still looks like Jeff.

  • Ah...Jeff? 0_O

  • Just a note ... there is a Medical/biological diff betwene black and ... erhm ... white (caucasian) or how its now spelled. There are some meds that bad for black and vice verse ... so. ... there is some diff.

    Thats just a note.

  • "WHEN DEALING WITH THE EVENT HORIZON..."

    What the fuck did he just say?

    "...oh, that's not the right word..."

  • I'm sorry to go there, but its gonna bother me all day. What was going on with the lights? lol

  • "EvolvedAtheist" is no atheist at all. It is quite obvious that he's a bullshit deceitful christian.

  • @LesPaul2006

    You can tell right when he got on and laughed about the name that he chose. Obvious Christian is obvious.

  • EvolvedAtheist is a fucking moron. Fuck him, he just screams "fallacy, fallacy" whenever anyone tries to respond to him.

  • @ThirdRAILKink hey man you're using a fuck fallacy. I am calling you out! Ha, your scared now!

  • I am so tired of the god of the gaps explanations from these religious apologist. Is that truly all they can come up with after two thousand sum years of endless study of a poorly written and edited book. A book by the way that happens to be the worlds oldest game of telephone. Please tell me they have something more than passages from this discredited book to base an argument upon. There simply is no need for a god what so ever! Grow up!

  • what was funny to the guy playing tetris???? i repeated it 1000 times and i cant make it out. anyone??

  • my dad still thinks i think there is a god its really annoying because he says all this bad stuff about people who are not christian it is funny a little to he says all this bad stuff about people who don't believe when his own daughter is an atheist

  • I would worship Jeff Dee! Who's with me!

  • @TheViolentBuddha

    I personally think hes an angry faggot. Worst host on the show hands down.

  • @r0bbinz How is he the worst?

  • @TheViolentBuddha

    He looses his cool way to fast. Maybe it's just for TV though, who knows.

  • @TheViolentBuddha it really doesn't help his cause that he looks like a demon. plus he gets angry too fast sometimes, like an angry demon.

  • @TheViolentBuddha I'd go with Matt first. So Jeff sits at the right hand of Matt. :p

  • @TheBiAtheist * glances down and walks away in defeat* :)

  • STRAW MAN FALLACY!!!

  • Sounds like Andrew was a fan of: Sliders

  • These callers will do good reading-up on Thomas Paine's work. Let alone, Robert Ingersoll's.

  • Lol! Terry sounds so sad at 10:45!

    Matt: "You're very naughty and I'm sending you to bed!"

    Terry: (Sticks bottom lip out as a tear rolls down one cheek) "I'm soooorry" :o(

  • This probably was the episode with the most stupid callers ever. Matt and Jeff could just be facepalming every 5 minutes!

    Kind of funny, in a sense... =D

  • If that last guy was raised to think then how come he was a Christian for 30 years? That just makes 0 sense.

  • Most entertaining Hosts in order are:

    1) Matt Dillahunty

    2) Jeff Dee

    3) Martin Wagner

    4) Traci Harris

    5) Russel Glasser

    6) Jen Peeples

    7) Don Baker

  • 15 people are theist.

  • Words of encouragement with Dr. Ben Carson" on youtube! If anyone can deter me from lending credence to his argument please drop me a line

  • Nope. Terry went rapidly even further downhill. Anybody else familiar with her "even the laws of logic break down so who's to say what's batshit?" argument? Is it online, posted by somebody who *does* speak English?

  • Dox on the homophobic caller?

  • Well, "Terry" may have been right on one thing. She said she thought she had an original argument, and indeed I don't think I've heard hers before.

    I mean, it's still loopy as all hell, but then I'm only 9:00 in. I'm sure it'll get better as soon as I unpause.

  • EvolvedAtheist is soo stupid lol. He can't even put together an argument nor postulate a decent analogy and his music sucks.

  • I don´t care if a gay person get married in church. I don´t understand it, because gay people are not the most popular character in the bible. But then again there cloud be written book, on stuff I don´t understand:-)

  • the first woman caller got me intrigued... i think i'm changing my position on the whole god no-god thing... wow this is weird i dont think i'm atheist anymore @_@

  • "it's sorta like a hypo-thesis.."

    -face palm-

    hilarious

  • @hollowman024

    lol

    I facepalmed too.

  • In the Netherlands, the gay marriages have been reducing every year after they were legalized. So perhaps I'm right.

  • @superhamzah85

    "In the Netherlands, the gay marriages have been reducing every year after they were legalized"

    how did you get this kind of information? do you have any source?

  • @minderbart1"@superhamzah85

    "In the Netherlands, the gay marriages have been reducing every year after they were legalized"

    how did you get this kind of information? do you have any source?

    minderbart1 1 week ago "

    Wikipedia. The statistics show some small declines, but it appears to me to be the result of the size of the country and that fact that those who desired marriage got married in larger numbers after the law allowed. No real mystery there.

  • @superhamzah85 STRAW MAN FALLACY!!!

  • As this is the case - the irony is - even gay people have an awareness of that - and the push for gay marriage is largely due to the fact that they don't have the freedom for it. They should be given the freedom for it, and recognized as just as rightful to marriage as anyone else.

    If I'm correct, and everyone, including gays, have an awareness of the historical reasons for marriage - nothing will change at a societal level, fundamentally.

  • @superhamzah85 yea sure, but there is really no good reason to deny a certain group of ppl a right that is equally shared by everyone else.. IMO marriage is really just bringing the relationship to a legal state where the partners are liable to each other and can have a means of pursuing action in case of any problems. That is of course the how i feel marriage is of any use in the practical sense. It is a whole other topic on whether marriage is a good thing or not.

  • @880330145789

    Yes it's a bit ironic, in countries where gay marriage is being attackec - are countries with a 50% failure in STRAIGHT marriage. Then they claim to value traditional marriage lol

  • I think the word marriage is a word with connotation and historical meaning - it's just word games.

    It was traditionally, before monotheism - a construct to identify correct parenthood of off-spring. Most people don't know this - but have a collective historical awareness of why marriage exists, and why it has nothing to do with the people married, but with the next generation of people.

    Gay marriage in this context, is almost paradoxical - but in our context - legitimate.

  • I think that women Terry was watching the episode of Family Guy when Stewie and Brian went back in time and created the big bang theory. LOL.

  • I think matt is a bit pissed off In this episode

  • Is it just me, or is the first caller one of the most inarticulate callers they've ever had on this show? I love how it says M.D. after her name. If her diagnosis of my medical status was that broken and unscientific and unreasonable I would run screaming from her office.

  • @ScienceWinsEveryTime I think the MD indicates that the caller is in the state of Maryland.

  • @fraserhopewell

    Perhaps, it is kind of strange, since Matt says "Terry, in Amherst", and the largest Amherst is in Massachusetts and there's one in TX, but not MD. Maybe it's her last name and Matt misread it. I dunno. Either way, listening to it again now, I still want to pull my hair out while waiting for her to get the words out of her mouth.

  • @ScienceWinsEveryTime I'm in the UK, so I'll defer to your local knowledge on that one! You're spot on about pulling hair though; I was shouting at my laptop, wanting her to get a move on!

  • i have proof of god.

    his name if Morgan Freeman

  • @Mikeybetts HAHAHA i call him that all the time

  • @tekproxy He forgot a step, writing it down in a book lol.

  • "See I can sit here all day making shit up. That's exactly what you religion is." Ouch.

  • Matt has such big, round, beautiful boobies. What a shame he covered them up on this episode. I love when they gets mad and they jiggle.

  • I'm tempted to skip the first caller; he just talks too slow.

  • @examinationboard You should have...it was a waste of time.

  • Damn where has jeff been at?

  • All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster! May he bless you with a touch from his noodly appendage!

  • @logansrun1980 :o heratic!!!!!!!! we all know phil collins is the true GOD and genesis is the holly word

  • @logansrun1980 Ramen!

  • For everyone who wants to skip to the Evolvedathiest getting dismantled by Matt and Jeff, 32:24

  • i love how the atheist experience is a non-"prophet" organization. lol

  • @TH3xMAST3RxM1ND HAHAHA Nice!!!!!!

  • @TH3xMAST3RxM1ND profit perhaps

  • thestar.com/news/article/10027­50--does-religion-belong-at-aa­-fight-over-god-splits-toronto­-aa-groups

    AA kicked out 2 agnostic AA groups in Toronto Canada

  • @devonkeim - the CFI hosts Secular Organizations for Sobriety Group of Toronto (SOSGT)

    No real need for fussing with the destructive, undermining methods of AA anyway.

  • I can't wait to that Evolved Atheist guy calls this week and reacts to NY legalizing gay marriage

  • @BUCollegeDems

    Haha I know right. He isn't a atheist anyways. But I bet he is steaming because of what happened in New York.

  • sometimes its like pulling teeth to get someone to try and say whats on their mind

  • Just listening to Evolved Atheist made me want to close out my window. How was so frustrating just to hear.

  • EVOLVED ATHEIST's name is Charlie Check'm. He just wants attention to his weak & lame rap songs....He's a Fraud.

  • EVOLVED ATHEIST is an ignorant embarrassing fool. He is just as prejudice/narrow-minded as any southern KKK member ....
