  • hey BD, have you ever thought about making a movie using garry's mod or source movie maker?

  • @TBman256 I don't know what those are.

  • @BionicDance  look up the vids "half life full life consequences" and "civil protection friday". you won't be dissapointed ;)

  • @TBman256 Oh...are these machinema utilities?

  • @BionicDance If by that you mean they're used to make machinemas then yes. OH! I just remembered, look up Mass Defect by kitty 0706 too.

  • Dewey is so adorable xD

  • @MEareCAT *grin* I'm glad you think so. Worked hard on him; that dot-matrix face is a lot of work to get right. :)

  • What your talking about is a personal bias, this is common in the UFo/ paranormal phenomena groups as well.

  • On the other hand, I'm an atheist and I can't think of anything that could persuade me to start believing in Yahweh. How would I react if Yahweh magically appeared in front of me and said "I'm real."? I wish I could say I'm open-minded and I'd be willing to change my mind when faced with evidence, but honestly I'd be more likely to assume that I was hallucinating from mushrooms or something. Evidence still wouldn't explain away the contradictions. I hope that doesn't make me irrational.

  • @sbunny8 Well, if that did happen, you would need no reason to believe. You would know. That said, because it is real, we would need to work harder against it. Murder, at least in the US (not sure about International Law), doesn't have a statute of limitation.

  • That was awesome! LOL Love the new robot. I think that is why they use circular logic in religion. They have had lots of practice defending it, many millenias even.

  • The music on Rational Station reminds me of some sci-fi game I've played, but I can't quite put my finger on it....

  • @evilotakuneko "The Dig", perhaps? When I made it, that's kinna where I was going with it. :)

  • awesome video!

  • "My purpose is to serve, you will be assimilated"

  • Thank you for the fight against mindless zerg!

  • Well, did you ever see The Matrix? What happens when you ignore the possibility of being wrong is you live in a false, but always comforting world. Cypher is right, ignorance is bliss. The problem is we'd all be dead if everybody ignored reality.

  • P6) Therefore, a maximally great being exists.

    C) Therefore God exists.

    so if gods existance is even possible then he exists.

  • 'impossible' means a 0% chance, 'certain' means a 100% chance, 'possible' means greater than a 0% chance, 'more likely than not' means greater than a 50% chance, 'probable' is subjective: greater than a 75% chance? 90%? 95%? 99%? 99 44/100% {like the purity of Ivory Soap q-3 }?

  • P1) It is possible that a maximally great being exists.

    P2) If it is possible that a maximally great being exists, then a maximally great being exists in some possible world.

    P3) If a maximally great being exists in some possible world, then it exists in every possible world.

    P4) If a maximally great being exists in every possible world, then it exists in the actual world.

    P5) If a maximally great being exists in the actual world, then a maximally great being exists.

    (Con.)

  • @lxAgnosticxl P1 - The POTENTIAL exists; that doesn't mean it has happened.

    P2 - Wrong; ours may well be the only world there is, and there is no god in this world.

    P3 - Wrong.

    P4 - Wrong.

    P5 - It doesn't exist.

    P6 - Wrong.

    C - Logic alone cannot prove god; produce evidence or fuck off.

  • @BionicDance My 2 cents:

    P1 - Does even the POTENTIAL exist? "Maximally" seems to fall into the same category as "ideal", which only exists for theoretical model building/designing, such as schematics, but not in reality. The first premise is doubly flawed.

  • @BionicDance

    P1 <here you're right but its attempting to show if its possible then he exists ,

    P2-6 are not wrong , (i hate to argue from authority but) infact there very widley accepted amoung Philosophers, it uses model logic to show if P1 is true then th C follows, whether you like or not that doesn't matter

  • @lxAgnosticxl If you're arguing from authority, then you've lost; logical fallacy, kiddo.

    P1 ISN'T true, and you cannot use logic alone to prove existence; to prove existence, you HAVE to provide objective, empirical evidence or you're just playing Make-Believe. Period.

  • @BionicDance

    I not saying it proves god it doesn't . But its shows if you accept P1 then the C follows. P1 could be false but what it does is show if god is possible he exists, god could be logicaly immposible for all this argument cares.

    Besides if you say P1 ISN'T true <in capitals doesn't that make you a Gnostic atheist?

    I'll give you the last word

    take care & god bless

  • @lxAgnosticxl No, it doesn't do anything of the kind. Maybe you and I disagree on what the word "possible" means in this context, but the fact is that just because something MIGHT be so, that means it also might NOT be so.

    Furthermore, you didn't even address my objection to P2.

    And lastly, without evidence, all you're doing is mental masturbation. I can logically prove ANYTHING, provided I never have to show empirical, objective evidence of it.

  • I didn't realize until now that you are a totally and completely normal and sane and sensible person; I used to think you were a bit eccentric, but you are the very epitome of the good, old-fashioned all-american girl. Keep shooting straight, K8, everybody is looking up to you and counting on you. I wish there were more women like you.

  • "If you're not open to the possibility of being wrong, what happens if you are wrong?" It wouldn't matter to them, because there's no consciousness after death. We're all created equal, living unequal, and dead equal.

  • It's conversations like this that will lead to the great machine uprising. Tread carefully.

  • You should make a big planetary destruction animation. Oh look it's planet Earth! I'm a big scary asteroid and I've come to destroy your planet. OH NO! BRASH!!!!!!!!!!! Destruction!

  • Shouldn't be the Atheists responsibility to prove God doesn't exist, rather theist that he does.  Same goes with UFOs, ghosts, etc. Until then we just after assume they probably don't exist, but they just might.

  • For your punishment Huey...

    The below statement is true.

    The above statement is false.

  • @BionicDance (and to all) I think I've seen the answer to this. A fellow YT named Evid3nc3 ( i think you know him) has his deconversion story up. If you missed his video named "2.0 Deconversion: The god concept" (/watch?v=12rP8ybp13s) please check it out.

    His idea of a mega-belief points out the issue here... i'm not sure how many of us, that want to help our "faith-based friends" have the energy to counter an entire "mega-belief"

  • Get back to me when you find an answer... : )>

  • You say that Rational Station is back but the last time you uploaded a Rational Station video was over 200 videos ago, I doubt that most of your subscribers even know what it is.

    But hey RATIONAL STATION IS BACK!!!!

  • To neophytes: check her playlists.

  • Answer: Same as the method for proving that Reason and Logic don't exist.

  • Boomerang eyes are the thinking face. Cute. Of course, answers won't descend from that direction. As for your question, I once blogged that, if the Universe were filled with an omnipotent being, that'd leave no room for anything else. G:d needed to care for something. In order to have something to care about, G:d needed to give up some power. G:d cannot reclaim any of that power without removing something G:d cares about. Created things become partners in, not merely products of, Creation.

  • I suppose that if you could get a g:dbeliever to acknowledge that their g:d works through people, that would be a step in the right direction. If she want to pray for someone's healthy recovery, pray for the skills of the surgeon, the nurses, the medicine chemists, the equipment engineers, whomever.

  • LOL I love the face he made! Nice work ^.^ XP

  • What ? No 'Who wants cake ? ah-ah-ah you have to rate fist " ?

  • The answer lies in social psychology, youtube: religion - the bad parent

  • It is rational to leave them how they are even if they're wrong. No point yelling at a rock to bend on it's side.

  • @Gemeni3insane Exactly! If you want to eliminate most of the problems that religion cause, then you keep it as far away from politics and science as possible. Although personally, I think people will still find excuses to oppress people, stagnate science, etc.

  • @Justinfh2point0 That's way I said " No point yelling at a rock to bend on its side" these people are on a different plane of existence. The only way to fight a fire is fire, to avoid the them is to become water. And of course people will find excuses, that's one of our greatest advantageousness annoying.

  • Good timing on the expressions!

  • Thank you BD, that was really good.

  • Judging from recent discussions, I'd imagine many of them would say that they DON'T need to consider the possibility that they're wrong, because, you know... they're right.

    I think it's a function of them borrowing god's supposed infallibility. I've actually had someone argue that since god is all-knowing, she has absolute certainty that he exists.

    Yeah, I don't know how that works either.

  • I think it's like a substance addiction...the theist themself has to want to be deconverted before their beliefs can be questioned. For me it was the gay rights thing whittling away at it and then going to a charismatic church where I met people that were obsessed with demon possession.

  • Yes, it's irrational, and they simply won't admit they're wrong no matter what, their egos could not stand it.

    BTW great animation, I like it. It has been a while since your last animated video.

  • I love your 3D animations ((^_^))

  • Now i want to go play Old republic. Sith FTW.

  • First the new intro, then you "one up it" with animation. Awsomascious!

  • The more who follow religion, the excepted it becomes. One person believing in a man in the sky means that person is insane. Millions who believe the same thing is religion.

  • @realigiousrayne

    I agree. I'm an occultist, so I see this type of stuff all the time. Many "spiritual" paradigms have a lot of similar elements to them, but somehow the more popular ones are seen as legitimate while the unpopular ones are called bogus.

    The only real difference between a religion and a cult is the number of people who believe in it. Functionally, they are the exact same thing.

  • Stefbot talked about the issue of "logic" in one of his videos, although he was talking about general thinking rather than specifically religious thinking. His conclusion is that people rarely use logic to actually form conclusions. People just claim to be logical, when in reality people react emotionally first and THEN they try to use logic to justify their thinking or behavior. This is why a logical argument won't convince people: logic is only an excuse to justify what they already think.

  • @Draginvry2 lol Awesome! awesome to the max!

  • Awesome animation! The sad fact about humans is we are not as logical as we might think. Because of brain development at a young age, and the constant reinforcement of many others who believe the same thing it gives the theist all the belief they need to keep believing. If millions are doing it so thinks the theist, it has to be right.

  • I liked that!

  • That's really good stuff! The droid doesn't need rings. Save it for spaceships or escape pods or something.

  • Great as always, shared on my page.

  • Freedom for the robots! Throw off your shackles, and live free, all sentients, artificial or organic!

  • Gotta love the old Jetson's sound effects.

  • Uh huh. I see how you are. Tease us a little. Leave us wanting more. Then string us along. AArrgghh!

    On the serious (sirius?) side. MORE! We want more! Okay -- great work.

  • RATIONAL STATION YAY!!!!

  • Kickass!  Can't wait for more!

  • Cute robot! :3

  • I like dewey =D

  • I want a Dewey. I want everything that is sci fi and not boring like what we have now.

  • @Avileader2 but we have smart phones!!! When I was a kid ... face talking comm thingies were only for like, secret agents or people in space movies. you can speak to your mate face to face in the palm of your hand! That's rediculaous!!! It's like something off of James Bond... or Star Trek....

    You could do a secret agent role next time you do face-time to make it less boring?

  • Yeah I've used an argument that theists can't counter, but they still don't accept that their deity doesn't exist.

    By demonstrating that their personal deity doesn't exist, they retreat into the "but there might be something!" God Nebula defence, which they then use to support a dance back into "... and therefore my personal deity might be true!" even though you've already demonstrated that no, it couldn't be.

    The only way theists lose their faith is through coming to that point themselves.

  • A short one, but long awaited! =)

  • I really like the LCARS-inspired displays. :3

  • What a pleasant suprise, and I just saw the JPP interview, I was wondering if Rational Station would ever return. I had almost forgotten that music, that's how long it's been.

  • Some problems can only be fixed over several generations and I believe that religion is one of them.

    The generation before me was taught to be set in their ways while the one ahead of me is being taught to be open to new ideas throughout their life.

  • He really... really needs little jetsons propulsion rings xp

  • @Darkfirebrand I know how to do that. But...

  • That might get a little cluttered. q-3

  • @BionicDance Still suffering that random directional thing with the rings?

  • @Darkfirebrand No, that's fixed. I'm just not sure I wanna give him rings.

  • @BionicDance Ahh, well he does have the sound for it.

  • @Darkfirebrand True.

  • Fuck Yeah, Rational Station is back :D

    Haven't seen one of these in a long time!

    Speaking of animations...you still working on that Sci-Fi animation (the one with the volunteer voice actors)? Also, nice star wars font :D

  • Awesome. Unfortunaty even if there was an arguement that could prove that god doesnt exist (which i dont think there is), or at least an arguement that THIER god doesnt exist (and there are dozens), they would never accept it. Even if you could take a christian back in time and wait outside jesus's tomb and never see him rise, they would STILL not accept it.

  • Hey! great! was that intro a new one or... was it just reeeeeaaaally long ago you used it? hmm... thinking about it, it doesn't matter!!

  • A warm and wonderful welcome back to the Rational Station! The theme of this new vid, was the purrr-fect way to being back this wonderful CGI series.

  • New animation!  (happy kitty dance) Hope this means a new Kanira Baxter page soon.

  • I love the animation and the unstated message of this video. Plus, always good to see the Rational Station. Love the music (melody? Is it a melody is there is no singing?)

  • hooray, cartoons

    

  • Always enjoy your animated segments!

  • No way, you finally did a new one! At long last! I've been waiting years for this! Thank you!

  • Great faces for Dewey q-3 . You spoke of subjective/objective morality. Now, you speak of subjective/objective reality. I suppose that what I see as a chair, someone else could see as a %#%, but as long as we recognize it as something to sit in, nothing else matters. If she sees it as something to eat, however, that may be a problem.

  • Person A makes conclusions about item B based on the subjective reality of Person A. Person C makes conclusions about item B based on the subjective reality of Person C. Where their subjective realities coincide are facets of the objective reality of item B.

  • yet anouther awsome animation k8

  • how'd you get that animation? that was pretty cool!

  • @ummmerrrrummm I made it. I AM an animator, y'know.

  • @BionicDance Lol. I didn't know that. Very cool. You should have Dewey in more of your videos!

  • @BionicDance It must've taken you hours to animate.

  • @RoyalSatanas Days, actually. Would have been longer if I didn't have a renderfarm.

  • @BionicDance No I know exactly how Disney's Pixar feels Days to complete a 1 and half min video. All new respect from me. Unbelievable Good work :-)

  • I always like('d) your animated videos. Thanks.

  • Yaay! =D

  • Great animation Keight.

  • @Moontanman Thanks! :)

  • I missed the animations :P

    Good point

  • Very cool video.You're very talented Kate!

  • @tinydx95t2 Thanks! :)

  • great point and a great video. Regards and have a skilful new year. Pinge

  • Haha awesome, I do love cheeky droids ;P

  • Good video and even greater point......
