Ariane Sherine at TAM London

[dkthg]

gorgeous woman...

[mgk786]

"Atheists can be just as kind, moral, and generous as anybody else"...on Christmas.

Way to fail. Can't wait for the day that atheists gather like missionaries and do something for impoverished countries...oh wait, it won't happen; they'll leave it for the Christians.

[TheGreatRL]

@mgk786 Atheists have a lot to worry about. Like getting the same civil rights as christians. When that happens, maybe then we will have enough time to help out the world which we allegedly never do.

Way to fail.

[mrpayne123]

She's good but let's get ricky gervais and steve merchant for the next tam london.

[ednan9]

she is iranian...wait till the mullah hear about this

[gujjucheap]

shes half indian of ancient iranian descent

[lewisner]

"Logical" arguments as to why god "should" exist are meaningless. Let it show itself or do something mildly impressive like moving the Pyramids from Egypt to Manchester. Then there'd be something worth talking about.

[volound]

fapfapfap.

[B0ombastix]

That's it. I'm in love.

[USABG58]

When she's coming, what does she yell?  Not, "Oh, my God! Oh, my God!". Maybe..."Oh, meaningless existence! Oh, meaningless existence!".

[ninuxy]

@USABG58 I've noticed Christians always project. The entire torturous Hell fabricated by their decree is nothing but a disturbing psychological issue that projects their inner thoughts, e.g. inflecting torture, onto others in a subconscious level.

But fear not; we have cure for your disease, and it doesn't begin with a mindless praying but rather by actually starting to think.

[USABG58]

@ninuxy OK. I'm with you on the "Hell" point. I don't believe in an acutal place called Hell. Never have. Christians and athiests and everyone project all the time. Human nature. I don't have a disease, I'm a rational, thinking person with above average I.Q. wondering if with an infinite number of Big Bang cycles, a God can exist. You puny humans can never absolutely prove there isn't. "Best guess" is the best you can manage. Cool. Now take a chill pill 'cause I'm not pushing my ideas.

[ninuxy]

@USABG58 The question is not that there is or there is not a God or Gods. The point is to stop pretending to know who he is or what he wants. In all probability, if there is a god, he wants you not to acknowledge him in the first place.

The more pertinent question one must ask, if there is a god, why would he want to go through all these trouble to create a universe in the first place. Then by asking this question, you realize your mind is bound by its own natural limitation.

[USABG58]

@ninuxy Ha! Look who's projecting. A Beat Generation God who wants 'you not to acknowledge him in the first place', who thinks saying hello and goodbye are passe. Speaking of passe: most physicists believe in mulitverses, not a "universe", as you put it. Probably an infinite number over an infinite amount of time, so God didn't go through all the trouble to create the universe, it's a perpetual cycle. You're bound by your limitation and decree there's no God. Be an agnostic and unknowing.

[ninuxy]

@USABG58 Your incoherent discursive rambling is a sign of a sanctimonious man who pretends to know something. Since when the multiverse theory has become universally accepted theory by a very large number of scientists? Oh, but don't let that little fact stop you from acting like you know what you prattling about.

So God created a perpetual cycle of universes begetting new universes without an origin!!! You still have to define your God.

P.S. Be an ignostic and stop pandering.

[USABG58]

@ninuxy Gee whiz, let try not to "ramble": 1) "he wants you not to acknowledge him in the first place"-- my point was this is behavior a Beatnik would practice, not God who's involved in humanity, -duh-. 2) Prof. Hawking supports multiverse theory, -duh- Yeah, some "prattling" sure did go on here! 3) No humans are able to define God since His being remains a mystery. 4) and I'm the antithesis of an ignostic, since I obviously don't require a difinition of God to talk about him, -duh- Go away

[ninuxy]

@USABG58 Put together a coherent sentence before hitting that Post button. Our lack of engaging a supreme being into our lives is neither a behavior nor a practice. The point is to seek the truth, and in order to make the journey, you cannot proclaim you already reached the destination.

In the absence of truth, one seeks the faith; in the absence of the faith, one seeks the truth. A god who incessantly demands you to acknowledge him is a narcissistic god who's antithesis of his defined virtues.

[fknNukE]

I'm in love!

[MrSonofsonof]

She is such a little cutey! But I always think that she must be 16 or 17. I can't believe that she's in her early thirties.

[agentpran]

im atheist now, can i fuck her now!

[AliasFail]

omg she's mouth-watering!

[TestMeatDollSteak]

Are there as many naturally beautiful, intelligent and well-spoken women in London as there are surgically enhanced, superficial and vapid women here in Southern California? I'm getting on the next fucking plane to England...

[executionerofgod]

@TestMeatDollSteak I hear that!! She is awesomely hot.

[knightm27]

intelligent and beautiful. i may be in love...!

[asf310384]

Trash !

[retrojaxed2]

well shes hot as hell'''' pardon the pun.

[plobzzz]

just gawgus shes just gawgus x

[mookiemu]

i want her!

[scuddycares]

shes lovely

[JarJar88forever]

She should be worshiped as a goddess

[milkywayone]

zeus - true god.

pray to zeus !!!

jesus story is fake!

allah story is fake

Zeus was before!

only zeus!

ZEUS please forgive this people taht they dont pray to you !

zeus is the best

IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN ZEUS YOU GONNA BE EATEN BY DEMONS!

[AgentCROCODILE]

@milkywayone Really? Well in that case, I AM UTTERLY CONVERTED! HAIL ZEUS!

[pigknuckles211]

let me ask you something.  do you eat because you're terrified of starvation or just because you're hungry and have a healthy appetite?

[louiscaponecchia]

@pigknuckles211 maybe becuz its necessary to live, and if you dont eat you suffer, with cramps, discomfort, lack of energy, etc...

[DKshad0w]

Beauty and brains. I bet she has a boyfriend : (

[RATIONALMIND001]

There too many delusional people! Ariane Sherine is very cute and right! We should all learn about religion, and then relegate it to the museums and history books and move on. It's time. Thanks Ariane, keep up the good work. Who said faith is good anyway. How about taking some responsibility and being rational, that would be better.

[wonderfulchina2009]

hot. damn.

[DariusDaGreat86]

yes Ariane is very cute and charming. A good example of an intelligent Atheist lady

[Paralyzer]

he has a big nose

[hedin73]

Feels nice to not be the only Atheist that does celebrate Christmas. I have kids so I make it a nice holiday for them.

[wwefuture01]

shes pretty

[adzug]

uh you noticed that huh?

[chanlizard123]

She is my God

[nanaimoaustin]

she looks like she's going to burn in hell....

[menu12345]

the fuck??? nanaimoaustin u need to get the sand out of your vag

[s23b]

Oh I could burn with her for ever

[olafurhh03]

@nanaimoaustin

sounds like you are one of those christians that hate everyone that do not share your world view.

[hassoona]

she looks arab

[MrSpitama]

I see you have not any face recognition talents. She looks 100% Persian to me.

In fact in persian language Ariane means "a female of Arian origin" and Sherine means "sweet"

[hassoona]

hahaha ur funny persians and arabs have big similarities in fact all middle easterns have similar looks..at the end they r all hot

[Microlink1980]

Such a cutie, I bet shes sharp as a tack too.

[Stumperx]

She is remarkable.

[KR15CO]

she doesnt believe in GOD ?

i bet i can make her scream OH MY GOD in bed

[kylejones7]

@KR15CO lol

[nilewow]

Damn, she's so hot, I'd convert just to worship the ground she walks on.

[onyana]

@nilewow : the whole point is that she doesn't have a religion to convert yourself over to. Hence the repeated athiest discussions....

[nilewow]

No way?!? I hadn't noticed....

[modchips4u]

mmmm she's hot

[ProtestantsRUs]

I like her, very fuckable, if I rape her and my religion is right then probably willI go to heaven for God loves me, if I rape her and atheism is right, then there is NO chance of my punishment in hell, it is win win.

[kingofschnitzels]

Yeah right kiddie, just keep jerking it and leave the eye candy to guys who actually have a chance with her.

[MikeDecipher]

@protestantsRUs

Damn bro, that's pretty bad, lol. I hope you're just here to demonize religion and are not serious.

[zenn1977]

If she is an athiest so how come she celebrating xmass ?

[uberkris123]

Because Christmas is a secular holiday.

[MikeDecipher]

@uberkris123

Who cares if it's a secular or religious holiday? Do you need to claim a holiday for your side in order to celebrate it? Celebration is equally within the rights of all people.

[MrBlackfish011]

why should you care what she celebrates if it does not hurt you, her life she can live it likes she wants.

[TimeLapseSteve]

Ariane is such a cutie. Nice dimples. :)

[patricknelson]

Phil Plait is an ATHEIST?! Yay :)

[Valtheos]

The day Atheists explain how it all truly started (not theories), I'll join them. Until then, I'll be in the middle avoiding both sides.

[mccabe1958]

so... magic is a viable explanation?

[tommyk77]

Why do you need an answer to leave superstition behind? We already know that the total energy in the universe is 0, so a god is already out of place in the Big Bang.

All you've got to do is think about it and grow some balls. It's so unlikely that the god of one of the religions is behind all this

[Valtheos]

Like I said, until you or some scientist can explain/prove how it all started, I'll join. I love science, but neither side has been able to explain anything (just theories). If you think the total energy in the Universe is 0...oh dear. That's like another theory. Some scientists believe it is not 0. Third law of thermodynamics says that the total energy is constant and unchanging. If it was 0, you would not be alive, matter would not exist. It depends on how you define energy. Cont..

[Valtheos]

Some say the total energy must be 0 as E=mc2 therefore mc2/infinity = 0. Wrong, because that only gives average distribution of energy over the volume of the Universe.If we accept the equation E=mc^2 then E is not 0. There's also the belief of the Electric Universe. In reality, theorists try to fit the results to suit their equations. This is probably why theoretical physicists/astronomers piss off observational astronomers.

[Valtheos]

This is why I'll stick around in the middle avoiding atheists and religion.

[tommyk77]

Oh dear. You seem to have an awfully warped view of science. "Just theories" is painful to hear. Understand the nature of slippage before saying something like that.

As for the energy being 0. This is the positive and negative energy difference. Look it up. Also check out Lawrence Krauss' talk on 'A Universe from Nothing'.

I think it's highly illogical to stay on the fence. Science is trying to find the answers. Religion is just asserting. You ARE an atheist, deal with it

[kablamo9999]

"Both sides"? Rubbish. There's one side, and that's the side of science.

You also do not seem to understand what a theory really is, but that's extremely common. A theory describes and explains observed facts, evidence. You seem to think that a theory is just a random guess grabbed from thin air, and that is wrong. That's what creationists do.

Only through evidence-based science can we gain a greater understanding about the universe, and that should be obvious to everyone.

[Valtheos]

Your comment still doesn't prove how it all started. "Only through evidence-based science can we gain a greater understanding about the universe, and that should be obvious to everyone." Of course, but why is it that Atheists believe in something that hasn't been proven? You're no different than the people who believe in the bible. Both sides try to persuade you into thinking that they're the right path even though neither side has been able to prove anything. Challenge my comments below, please

[GDATERRY]

No different? Science is based on tangible, empirical, observable evidence. You're free to go reproduce any experiments yourself and come to your own conclusions. This is a big difference to a faith-based system where you're only operating on superstition and incorporeal matters.

"How it all started" is also a little vague. We have models and evidence for how the universe came to be, and how most things thereafter formed. Before that is impossible to determine since time did not exist.

[GDATERRY]

The conundrum of existence will always be a puzzle; one we may never find an answer to. However, this does not mean we should resort to religion to prove it. Logically it does not follow. If we can infer things from empirical evidence, why claim that our existence is caused by something completely unprecedented as a supernatural being?

Besides, it merely replaces one question with another. You can say we exist because of god, but why does god exist?

[GDATERRY]

After all, anything that applies to him, could just as easily apply to the universe. The one which we are familiar with and form our basis of reality. Why jump to fantastical beings?

[Valtheos]

Once more, I love science. I think I know more than the average person when it comes to science even though i'm majoring in administration of justice. I also enjoy watching Phil Plait. I believe i have an open mind and that's key. Check this video out first and let me know. Type: bad astronomy vs good science debunking phil plait. Should be the first video that shows up. And check out : bill o'reilly atheist richard dawkins.

[Valtheos]

I don't see why i have to pick a side that hasn't been able to prove anything :P

[kablamo9999]

What do you think science is? A bunch of guesswork? Do you realise that scientific theories are based on evidence from observations of nature? In what way have science not been able to prove anything?

[Valtheos]

Your other comment was removed by Phil. You went too far, i guess LMAO. I win :D lol jk. You're still avoiding my questions even when I provided other videos for you to look at, and I'm tired of typing to someone who keeps repeating. GL :P

[alien8ted]

"Until then, I'll be in the middle avoiding both sides." You sound as if you're almost proud to be an intellectual coward, keeping silent until you're sure you're following sheeplike what everyone else thinks.

[Valtheos]

"I'm and ex-believer." And my favorite: "I believe the human race faces extinction unless we colonise space, which we could achieve using near-Earth asteroid resources, turning potential hazards into habitats." Riiiight...LOL. Sure buddy, keep going. Oh, I'm not keeping silent and I'm not following anyone, FYI.

[alien8ted]

There's nothing ridiculous about the possibility we could become extinct, global warming, nuclear or biological warfare, an asteroid or comet strike could wipe us all out forever, as we have all our eggs in one basket. The idea we can create an insurance policy by colonising other worlds and space habitats is one supported by Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal and Prof. Stephen Hawking. All we need is two self-sustaining colonies with a million people each and our survival potential is increased.

[Valtheos]

I like the idea of colonizing other worlds (who wouldn't?), but the only plausible possibility of human extinction out of your list would be nuclear or biological warfare. Global warming? Please. Comet/asteroid strike? Not gonna happen in our lifetime or the next.x10. And even then we probably have the technology to move or destroy it. Maybe you should read Phil Plait's Death From the Skies.

[alien8ted]

"Maybe you should read Phil Plait's Death From the Skies." Maybe you should. Asteroid/comet strikes are a real danger, we already get hit by meteorites, most fall in the sea, but sometime one will hit a population centre. The Tunguska event was likely a comet and if it hit a city it would have killed millions. You're a global warming denier? Figures. Guess you're a self-proclaimed prophet as well, Nostradamus 4.0?

[Valtheos]

Good lord...I have read the book. I never said asteroids/comets can;t hit Earth. As you said, strikes happen all the time (Big and small). But you were talking about extinction. Clearly, these meteorites aren't big enough to eliminate the human race like you think. I agree, the Tunguska event would've been a disaster if the comet had targeted a city. But...even if it did, would it have caused human extinction? No.

[Valtheos]

It's been a while since I read Phil's book, but i think he said it's a one in a million chance or something like that. I might be wrong. Like i said, it's not going to happen in our lifetime or the next x10. Look at videos or read Phil's darn book and inform yourself. No reason for you to be paranoid. Also, many meteorologists believe global warming to be a myth. Try the Meteorological Society. Okay, so we've warmed 1 degree in the last century? Don't tell me you believed Al Gore.

[GDATERRY]

The meteorologists that deny global warming are charlatans. The evidence for it is overwhelming and indisputable at this point in time. This argument would have been fitting maybe a decade or two ago.

Also, he said that human extinction is possible if we don't colonize other planets. You say this won't happen in our lifetime. Can you explain the relevance of your statement? If it does not happen in our lifetime it'll happen in the future, at which point humanity is extinct.

[Valtheos]

I think you just need to relax. We're not going to the next dimension anytime soon. (that's a partial quote taken from Vegeta, a Dragonball Z character, when he destroys a world and eliminates a race. " See you in the next dimension!" lol

[oggleman]

wow she's purdy

[synth3s1s]

This is the kind of idea i wholeheartedly agree to. And a lot more responsible than simply trying to appease an ancient desert-god into not flooding you till you drown or burning you to a crisp for all eternity.

oh, and to all you who commented before, well, atheists are sexier :D

[Brettah31]

^_^ 可爱!!! ^_^

[MaxSafeheaD]

She is SO cute! <3 <3 <3

[code933k]

One of the best interviews ever. Thanks for filming her!!

[xxaoife]

Cool, I'm reading that book at the mo! :D

[truvelocity]

Nerd fest! Haven't you ever seen a normal looking woman before?

[dskrilla1]

O man she's hot and she's on our side. Perfect.

Does she have her own YouTube channel?

[Stringprodigy]

She's very sexy. View video for empirical evidence to substantiate my claim.

[omegavalerius]

The evidence presented is substantial. I might have a bias though because I'm a heterosexual male. We need confirmation from a more objective observer (female heterosexual or male homosexual).

[echthroi9]

The experiment is flawed by sample bias, I think. There are no ugly people in the vid, so sexiness is not the dependent variable here. Phil needs to reshoot this standing in a crowd of diverse people.

[godsend420]

haha funny vid how do u like to cook ur baby or do u smoke it on a spit j/j

to all u religious peeps u had ur crusade it failed thats why ur god gave us free choice so suck it 5*

[Bercik87]

She's cute ... and this voice <3

[554466551]

She's a smart cookie. Phil's a smart ass. Good fun.

[fallingstarblues]

She's absolutely lovely!

...oh, and her book is super as well! And her ideas are cogent admirable concepts!

Pretty... :-P

[iamgoddard]

Godless beauty! <3 <3

[deusAtheismus]

Eating puppies! <3

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

Typical atheists, wanting to eat babies for christmas... why don't you just metaphorically eat jesus's flesh and blood like the rest of us...

[yekahs]

Not for us catholics! We actually literally believe we are eating human flesh.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

Well you are just as bad as the atheists then :P

[anthonzi]

Gorgeous! Next time Phil could you point the camera down alittle more, so, you know, your face doesn't get in the way?

[SpiritualAtheist]

Wow, she was really cute. I'm going to have to watch this again to hear what she had to say.

[slither42]

guide to hanukka would be more fitting i think...

[bizzee1]

Too funny!

[synsei1]

Clever, sweet and with a rocket name :D

[DeltaNC]

I know! Isn't it awesome!

[luckystrke]

lovely girl.

[Megavolt]

Beautiful, intelligent and that accent! Wow.

[andwar99]

She doesn't have an accent. You do.

[Megavolt]

I'm German, of course I do!

[ggab7768]

Bwahahahaha!

That was awesome!

[russelljenkinsfearn]

Jajajajaj well said !

[MusicHypno]

What? Everyone has an accent.

[216trixie]

Speech in California evolved into what is considered accent free speech. This is why t.v. news anchors in all parts of the u.s. sound exactly the same.

[IllPropaganda]

Intelligent hottie!

[therugdoctoranimesux]

I should really buy that book.

[barabellum80]

And like i see i would have been to late anyway.

[barabellum80]

I have never said first so far i will not do it now.

sry for stupid comment anyway. :D

[zomgomgomgz]

hottest atheist ever~

[burnhippiesforfuel]

hottest ever? i'll have to research that. in the interest of science. it'll be tough to prove- especoially with that accent. maybe i can get a grant...
