@shunysham The scientific method is a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.
Anyone who understands science knows better than to assume we have it all figured out. If we did, we wouldn't need scientists anymore. Science is the product of skepticism and study and all our knowledge is growing and changing. Religious faiths resist change and reject skeptical analysis.

@orbital92hotmail There are some very attractive afro-americans, but I don't think it's racist to say that you are not attracted to afro-americans. And any person of any race can say they are not attracted to Caucasians.
@orbital92hotmail I agree. A person is welcome to have a preference, without being racist. However, phrasing is important. While features of African Americans may not appeal to you, making a blanket statement about all African Americans walks the line, and so if not speaking carefully it could be interpreted that way.
I think the resistance to new and correct ideas is actually quite rational. In the same way that we form the incorrect old ideas, it is possible for us to for new incorrect ideas, and it often takes a long time for the evidence to make itself known, so anyone capable of a long-term view is perhaps right to be suspicious of making sudden changes to long-held beliefs that seem to have much evidence behind them. One has to reflect on the new idea in light of history, which takes time...
With respect to the idea of changing peoples' minds through reason, I advise that we atheists think of "planting seeds" instead. When you have a conversation with someone and testify to them honestly about how you think and feel about God, then it works well to think of it as having planted a seed that will grow slowly. Give them room to think about it without pressuring them to change. Your testimony will move them and you won't always see it, but the seed is planted. Have faith! :-)

I've done a couple of vipassana retreats (in Japan) and H. does a really good job of explaining why people should try practicing vipassana. I had the most incredible 'spiritual' experiences while on the retreats, but whereas religious people will tend to explain such experiences in terms of the god they believe in, the reality is probably more natural (release of serotonin/endorphins and higher states of consciuosness etc). I like that H. doesn't dismiss such experiences (cf. Hitchens Dawkins).
@mycal64 Of course, it's silly to dismiss those experiences (and I'm not sure if the worthy folks you mentioned do that), just as it's silly to take them as proof of divinity. But I must add that those experiences dismiss me, unfortunately.
Now I definitely need to read his books. He just addressed and clarified a few major philosophical issues that I've been mulling over for awhile now. The basic arguments against irrationality are easy, but it's great that he tackled things like the common secular articulation of "spirituality" and the full potential of human experience- as well as dealing with the pitfalls of pseudoscience and pseudospirituality that surround our perception of it.

"Since only intelligence is a known creator, your Atheist faith is not scientific."
There's so much begging the question and meaninglessness in this inane proclamation, it would be like responding to a 3-year-old who continues to scream, "I like candy!"
Sam, Matter isn't creative, intelligence is. Matter can't turn itself organic. What makes you believe it created nature and could turn itself into human consciousness - intelligence?
Also: There's no evidence for your faith that matter created life but you pretend it's scientific. That's dishonest. Children who believe you think they are animals, life has no purpose, they have no soul, and if they kill themselves, the only result would be early unending unconsciousness. Do you hate children?
@onefodderunit lol there is absolutely no way any reasoning is going to get through to you. Just by reading your comment I can tell that a debate with you would be long and repetitive.
By the way, everyone is born an atheist and remains one until their parents force religious ideology down their throat.
False. Children have innate wisdom that intelligence creates, matter does not.
Leave to an Atheist to lie to them and tell them matter can and did turn itself into life, and there was no intelligence involved, meaning; Life was unintended and has no purpose, and their life is as insignificant as worm's, and if they are depressed and kill themselves, the end result will be eternal unconsciousness which is all they're going to get anyway.
*poofed* - That's the Atheist term for creation of existence. Atheists are of the faith that no intelligence was involved in creation, and the universe just *poofed* itself into existence and inanimate matter just *poofed* itself into life.
Intelligence is the only creator.
From where do you believe the energy originated to create the universe, and do you realize that there is no scientific evidence that inanimate matter can turn itself into life?
@onefodderunit The general response is that there is no evidence that the universe was created intelligently, so asserting such is dishonest.
There is no reason to believe that energy/matter "came from" anywhere. If time is a property of matter, you would EXPECT matter/energy to have always existed. However, since we don't know what happened before the Big Bang, we cannot know for certain.
And actually yes, the Miller-Urey experiments prove that life can originate from non-life.
Yes, there is evidence that the universe was created by intelligence because intelligence is the only creator. No functional system has been known to have been created by anything but intelligence. Big Bang is an outdated theory which is being displaced with the Electric Universe model.
This was a blatant lie by you: "Miller-Urey experiments prove that life can originate from non-life." <<<
That was in 1953 - and were it true, Miller-Urey would be famous.
@onefodderunit "No functional system has been known to have been created by anything but intelligence."
Nonsense. What about geological rock formations? Planetary systems? Plenty of functinal systems haveby non-intellient causes. Wait... are you trying to weasel out of this by offering a constained definition of "system"?
The Miller-Urey experiment is famous. It proves that life CAN originate from non-life (it does not show how it did so on earth). This fact is well-known amongst biologists.
You do not know the origin of nature or the universe or their functional systems. Examples of functional systems of known origin would include a spider web, a beaver pond, the PC you're using.
Miller-Urey generated amino acids in an atmosphere that never exited on Earth. There were several devices employed to make it work.
You have nothing to back this up. These are words spoken from ignorance and credulity.
"From where do you believe the energy originated to create the universe"
I don't know, and neither do you. Repeat and rinse. But there are multiple plausible scientific hypotheses than you'd care to acknowledge. "God did it" is not one of these. And the universe may not even have a "beginning" as we currently understand it.
"there is no scientific evidence that inanimate matter can turn itself into life?"
Then I guess humans can't be poofed into existence from dust or clay, huh? Pretending to know things that you don't know is going to get you into deep water.
Historically, scientific explanations have supplanted supernatural ones, so you only need be patient. Or you might die before knowing, but that's life!
@infideluxe That is a common misconception. No one has the "ego" required to claim certainty. We simply don't know yet. For much of history god was the reason things fell to the earth, religion claimed that the sun went round the Earth, and that the Earth the center of the universe. Even Newton, for all his intelligence threw his hands up and invoked god when he could not calculate the movement of the planets. Because we do not know does not mean God is a certainty, we may learn in time.
@Keeban3 We're all familiar with the feeling that we are "riding around in our heads and controlling a body." In reality we are our bodies, and we are our experience. Everything you see and hear etc. is you in a sense. Why? Because everything you experience is something your brain is doing, and your brain is essentially you. This feeling that we are something seperate from our experience is an illusion neurologically and meditation is a tool to break that illusion.
@fuck192ass I heard nothing that I would consider rhetorical in lieu of reason in this video. All rhetoric is is the art of using language to successfully convey ideas to someone else. The problem is it has a negative connotation because many of our congressman are simply unqualified to hold positions of delegation and don't have thoughts or ideas that are conducive to this, so they have to use rhetoric to convince you of their usually archaic thoughts. This however is reasonable AND rhetorical
Atheists could affect a little change if all of us were extremely courteous online. When talking to theists resist insults and smugness, these just brings up the believers defensive mechanisms instantly. It also furthers the prevalent stereotype that atheists are bad people. If you can't change someones theological beliefs, at least being nice will diminish their atheist hate. Also atheists need to clarify that we don't know there is no gods, we just think/believe that (most anyways).
I partially agree. However, all an atheist has to do is say something that's logical in order for a theist to accuse him of being "arrogant." At its foundation, religion requires the type of blind faith I reject, and that simple rejection of illogical thinking offends many theists, regardless of the language that delivers it.
Also, I do more than clarify that I "believe" there are no gods by also reminding theists that I believe the possibility is so minimal as to be dismissible.
yes I believe he is all powerful, and if someone wants to help me get out of my delusion, then receive prophecy so you can show me the way to reason. and by the way I support science and everything it does, I'm not one of does crazies trying to stop science from anything.
this is easily one of the most clear and useful videos I've seen from Harris so far. his experience with meditation gives him a clarity and edge beyond even his best contemporaries.
@lizardstyle101 Seems you are saying the church you belong to is the REAL way to go out of the 2000 + religions in the world ! I too was religious once but could see the insanity,absurdity and futility of it all. Are you sure you havn't merely convinced yourself those prophecies are true ? This is a new American religion I suppose. Answer me this : Is God infinitely powerful ? I am atheist but would like you to answer this question.
@brindow1 Just google it (IGLESIA DE DIOS MINISTERIAL DE JESUCRISTO INTERNACIONAL), I will give you the address to the closest church and receive prophecy before you think I'm delusional. I will put this church to the test with any investigation.
@lizardstyle101 I'm sure you would give me the address of your church in my area..but why would I, an atheist bother going to church? Be reasonable ! I know you are totally immersed into what you believe but you must have respect for other peoples beliefs and respect them as well. So instead of sending me off to church why not answer the question I have asked you for and allow other people in that read this site. Here it is again: Do you believe God is ALL POWERFUL ?
@brindow1 By the way,in the last part of your comment you said you would put your church to the test by any investigation..bold words indeed ! I'll take your test ! And i'll cause a lot of people to leave if they read my reply, but tell you what-you can represent them if you like ! Actually iv'e already asked you the question that I would ask them "Do you believe God is all powerful. Give me your best answer and get ready to be subverted !
@lizardstyle101 what evidence are they going to provide that I have not heard? Also, it appears religious individuals seem to have a hard time understanding what evidence is; or facts for that matter..
He's an atheist yet he has a wedding ring around his finger. It would seem as though participating in a religious marriage ceremony is hypocritical to his personal beliefs. I'm not questioning his love for his wife or his devotion to her, it just seems strange to see such an archaic ceremonial symbol on an atheist.
@FoxvoxDK I wasn't being ignorant to the concept of marriage. I completely acknowledge the fact that people have loved each other and participated in monogamous relationships since before recorded time. I simply found it strange that he wears a wedding ring and claims to be an atheist. I understand he could have been married in a court room, which rules out any religious significance in his marriage. But thanks for the thought.
@N1C0L3ify Ehm, I'm not sure what you mean by that. A marriage or a unison/alliance between families, marked by rings, tattoos, scarf, scars, earrings etc, etc. Has existed for a thousands of years, what I said was; the "Holy Matrimony" i.e the wedding and reading of the bible and such, was hijacked by religion. A ring or any sign of "I care for a mate/partner/life-companion is customary throughout the ages of human time.
@FoxvoxDK That's true enough. However, the fact of the matter is he is most likely wearing a wedding ring. I'm not disagreeing with you by any means. I'm simply pointing out something that would seem to be a glaring contradiction of Sam Harris' life work. No trolling intended.
But to be honest I seriously doubt that he'd have a wedding, with priest, vows and all that stupid nonsense :P.
Nah didn't figure you for a troll, many people are unknowing in the ways of bonding, in cultures before christianity/islam and all that.
Take care!
On a side-note, most guys like girls/women without make-up, or very little. Don't overdo it like Jenna w/o her Marbles :p. Ask some male friends close to you if in doubt :p.
@FoxvoxDK lol it's funny you should say that about the make-up because this has actually been her boyfriend the whole time. I actually love the way she looks.
@N1C0L3ify You like how she looks with all the make-up? Arh well each to his/her own I guess.
I think Jenna looks amazing without make-up though, and, well, fake with "make-up" it is after all made-up :p. I definitely like women with none at all.
Neurology and social psychology expose religion to be completely irrational to subscribe to. Sam presents an exquisite balance of the biologcal (by way of neurology) and psychological (by way of philosophy) causes for belief, values, and motivation.
They say that the thought processes of men and women are different. I've heard that it is practically impossible for women to stop thinking, while it is incredibly easier for men to do so. My friend has a boss who frequently does this and calls doing this going into his "Nothing Box."

@orbital92hotmail I agree. A person is welcome to have a preference, without being racist. However, phrasing is important. While features of African Americans may not appeal to you, making a blanket statement about all African Americans walks the line, and so if not speaking carefully it could be interpreted that way.

I think the resistance to new and correct ideas is actually quite rational. In the same way that we form the incorrect old ideas, it is possible for us to for new incorrect ideas, and it often takes a long time for the evidence to make itself known, so anyone capable of a long-term view is perhaps right to be suspicious of making sudden changes to long-held beliefs that seem to have much evidence behind them. One has to reflect on the new idea in light of history, which takes time...

With respect to the idea of changing peoples' minds through reason, I advise that we atheists think of "planting seeds" instead. When you have a conversation with someone and testify to them honestly about how you think and feel about God, then it works well to think of it as having planted a seed that will grow slowly. Give them room to think about it without pressuring them to change. Your testimony will move them and you won't always see it, but the seed is planted. Have faith! :-)

I've done a couple of vipassana retreats (in Japan) and H. does a really good job of explaining why people should try practicing vipassana. I had the most incredible 'spiritual' experiences while on the retreats, but whereas religious people will tend to explain such experiences in terms of the god they believe in, the reality is probably more natural (release of serotonin/endorphins and higher states of consciuosness etc). I like that H. doesn't dismiss such experiences (cf. Hitchens Dawkins).

@mycal64 Of course, it's silly to dismiss those experiences (and I'm not sure if the worthy folks you mentioned do that), just as it's silly to take them as proof of divinity. But I must add that those experiences dismiss me, unfortunately.

Now I definitely need to read his books. He just addressed and clarified a few major philosophical issues that I've been mulling over for awhile now. The basic arguments against irrationality are easy, but it's great that he tackled things like the common secular articulation of "spirituality" and the full potential of human experience- as well as dealing with the pitfalls of pseudoscience and pseudospirituality that surround our perception of it.

Sam, Matter isn't creative, intelligence is. Matter can't turn itself organic. What makes you believe it created nature and could turn itself into human consciousness - intelligence?
Also: There's no evidence for your faith that matter created life but you pretend it's scientific. That's dishonest. Children who believe you think they are animals, life has no purpose, they have no soul, and if they kill themselves, the only result would be early unending unconsciousness. Do you hate children?

False. Children have innate wisdom that intelligence creates, matter does not.
Leave to an Atheist to lie to them and tell them matter can and did turn itself into life, and there was no intelligence involved, meaning; Life was unintended and has no purpose, and their life is as insignificant as worm's, and if they are depressed and kill themselves, the end result will be eternal unconsciousness which is all they're going to get anyway.

@onefodderunit The general response is that there is no evidence that the universe was created intelligently, so asserting such is dishonest.
There is no reason to believe that energy/matter "came from" anywhere. If time is a property of matter, you would EXPECT matter/energy to have always existed. However, since we don't know what happened before the Big Bang, we cannot know for certain.
And actually yes, the Miller-Urey experiments prove that life can originate from non-life.

Yes, there is evidence that the universe was created by intelligence because intelligence is the only creator. No functional system has been known to have been created by anything but intelligence. Big Bang is an outdated theory which is being displaced with the Electric Universe model.

@infideluxe That is a common misconception. No one has the "ego" required to claim certainty. We simply don't know yet. For much of history god was the reason things fell to the earth, religion claimed that the sun went round the Earth, and that the Earth the center of the universe. Even Newton, for all his intelligence threw his hands up and invoked god when he could not calculate the movement of the planets. Because we do not know does not mean God is a certainty, we may learn in time.

Atheists could affect a little change if all of us were extremely courteous online. When talking to theists resist insults and smugness, these just brings up the believers defensive mechanisms instantly. It also furthers the prevalent stereotype that atheists are bad people. If you can't change someones theological beliefs, at least being nice will diminish their atheist hate. Also atheists need to clarify that we don't know there is no gods, we just think/believe that (most anyways).

I partially agree. However, all an atheist has to do is say something that's logical in order for a theist to accuse him of being "arrogant." At its foundation, religion requires the type of blind faith I reject, and that simple rejection of illogical thinking offends many theists, regardless of the language that delivers it.
Also, I do more than clarify that I "believe" there are no gods by also reminding theists that I believe the possibility is so minimal as to be dismissible.
