    I think That is what I was tryna say. terms like faith have to be explained as Atheists say they do not believe in anything. which of course is not true . sometimes they say the only thing they have faith in is themselves yet they demonstrate otherwise. themselves. point out where he shows faith. faith is necessary to both believer and atheist. akin to a plan. A the ist has beliefs & faitH in OTHERS. bare min. he believes...til proven otherwise & updated he believes anew

  • If Iwalked along the desert sands for centuries

    finally halfway through the 20th century what to my surprise I see has evolved out of these grains of sand..

    an intel chip, not creation! Rather evolution right out of the earth, with nothing more than the passing of time.

    other species toO have evolved out of the sand.

    on other planets I hope we find that out of the dust on the planet after 1,000,000,000 years there will be a fine swiss timepiece

    evolved ...because I do not believe in creation

  • is astrology a science?

  • @xxsolakxx Well it is of the pseudo variety of science alone with numerology, phrenology, alchemy, creationism etc.

  • Outstanding! Looking forward to watching your other videos.

  • agnostic i think ye be.... i can smell the dr pepper seeping from your fridge. great soundtrack btw... Pink Floyd echos and tears for fears....can i worship you?

  • @MochizMuM Lol at the south park reference

  • this guy says he can accept reality,although in his own words he typed,the bible accurately describes the universe??????????????????????­??now this is an example of a true believer's mind,thank you for being that kind of person

  • Want to know why alien civilizations havn't yet come to Earth? Because they think we're too weird for them!

  • The natural mind cannot understand the things of God, not even from the bible. The bible is just a book and you cannot have faith in it.

  • @KingdomSeeker2012 I find it ironic that theists generally of the christian variety claim atheism(Which has no dogmas, tenets, teachings, worshiping, belief in a supernatural controlling entity Etc) is a religion & also claim Christianity(which does have most if not all said attributes) Is not.

  • Thank you for taking the time and effort to make these videos, the amount of views on these is thoroughly underwhelming considering the quality of them.

  • I have studied the Bible, especially Genesis and the origin of the world, and I have found nothing in the Scriptures that prohibits most of Science's discoveries, except for the theory of macroevolution, and the big-bang theory. Because, as I understand it, both theories arise from observations, which are interprated. Thus, a theory comes out of it which is just one of several possible ways to explain the observations,which can predict things. Young Earth Creationism can explain all observations

  • @spacecadet97

    If animals did not evolve then they must have poofed into existence by magic, fully formed, along with human beings. Therefore, dinosaurs co-existed with man and the Earth is only 6,000 years old. This explanation goes against the sciences of geology, paleontology, anthropology, astronomy, biology, genetics, chemistry, and so on. Genesis DOES contradict most, if not all, scientific discoveries. Young Earth Creationism is a dead end with no redeemable factors whatsoever.

  • @DiscoveringReligion Pt. 1 dinosaurs are the best explanation for the leviathan and behemoth found in Job, but the post-flood world was not favorable for the dinosaurs so they died off. fossils are are proof of the flood, because the flood laid down so much silt and mud on top of the remains of animals that were killed in the flood. the weight of the waters on top of the mud sped up the fossilization process. the varied forms of humans is explained in Genesis 6:1-5.

  • @DiscoveringReligion Pt. 2 The Bible says every kind of creature; it does not say every species, when God is giving instructions to Noah to build the ark. I am a devout Christian, but I believe that the process of evolution is real. When I read the Bible, then look at the world around me, I see proof of evolution. When God separated the greater light (sun) from the lesser light (moon) there is nothing saying what the precise order of the universe is.

  • @DiscoveringReligion Pt. 3 Genetics, geology, chemistry, etc. have nothing to do with how the world was created, and how it developed to what it is today. Have you read Genesis? If you have, have you thought of how it could be understood to allow for the world today? Your arguments are not supporting what you believe, they are just attacking what I have 100% certainty in. So no, Genesis DOESN'T contridict most of scientific discoveries, and Young Earth Creationism has many good arguments for it.

  • @spacecadet97 No...young Earth creationism does not have good or sound scientific arguments for it...nor does it have good intellectual ones or good historical ones or good rational ones. It disintegrates in the face of even the most rudimentary of scrutiny, and can only stand on emotion and rhetoric. Like much of religious theory these days, it functions primarily as a desperate attempt to ruse off extinction.

  • @Fugettaboutit The reason I said "for" it is because I was limited on space. A better way to say it would be that Young Earth Creationism doesn't have any arguments agaisnt it that have 100% certainty in. Besides, the fact that it is called the THEORY of Evolution and the Big Bang THEORY states that they are science's best explanations for observations made. Also, instead of just denying arguments that I make, come up with arguments against them. And yes, you are just denying my arguments.

  • @spacecadet97 Please watch chapter 5 or this series, and you'll see that you're erroneously searching for leaks in the word 'theory'. The fact that they are science's best explanations means that they have been scrutinized and accepted through rigorous testing, mathematics, and reasoning. They absolutely have certainty in great abundance compared to Young Earth Theory. I'm denying your arguments because quite simply, you don't have one, except hearsay from a book.

  • Comment removed

  • @Fugettaboutit You forget that the Bible's purpose is revealing salvation through Jesus, not explaining in detail the origins of the world. IOW it is about FAITH in Christ. If explanations seem desparate, know this: alot of the time, your explanations seem slightly desparate too. Also, it is not bending science to fit with Scripture, it is interpretating Scripture to agree with observations. And it is only those fields that support BBT and Evolution that have to be changed. I choose dinosaurs.

  • @spacecadet97 "You forget that the Bible's purpose is revealing salvation through Jesus, not explaining in detail the origins of the world. " No...intelligent design, creationism, and Young Earth Theory advocates forget that. Which is why they fail so miserably when trying to explain a scientific history of the Earth that coincides with the Biblical account. Religion should remain an issue of faith, not of reality, evidence, or rationality...which it simply cannot stand up to.

  • @DiscoveringReligion Your comment is bull, well I mean its bull it only has 10 up thumbs oops I mean 11

  • @spacecadet97 Hahahahahahah, I needed a laugh .... Thanks 

  • @spacecadet97 It is so spectacularly ignorant to believe an attempt to explain the origin of life and the universe and our place in it written 2000 years ago in barbaric illiterate middle east, as opposed to all the truth and fact that we know now. We evolved from a species who only just managed to survive through ingenuity after the catastrophic effect of the eruption of Mount Toba 74k years ago. Our large evolved brains got us where we are now, try using yours to discover the truth. its great!

  • Great video. Slow down on your narration though!  It feels a little rushed and hard to follow at times.

  • You religious people only selectively believe scientific fact AND your apparently true bible. You pick and choose, you warp your own falseties.

  • @iongodeo i used to feel that way when i was a christian, you see yourself as being so different; but, truth is christians and catholics are amazingly similar. Both are sheep, following blindly, believing in untrue things (namely, god). Both are also so very ignorant of science, they throw away FACTS with hardcore evidence for essentially impossible myths, created by humans over many thousands of years. Science (unlike religion) is DISCOVERED by humans and is KNOWN to be true.

  • "science is the language of the universe" - is that a scientific fact or just another anthropomorphism that pulls the wool over our eyes with the unfounded assumption of scientism?

  • @pawsoned

    It's a poetic statement. We understand everything through languages. You cannot even formulate thoughts without using a language. The only way we can understand the Universe around us is through science. Although we might think we can use intuition or mysticism, often with a re-examination of science we find our intuitions to be wrong. Objective scientific experimentation is the only way to discover the true nature of reality, thus science is the language to understand the Universe.

  • Religion comforts people and provides answers to what will happen NEXT when we die. It is this comfort that will make sure religion is part of our world and society for generations to come till the sun burns out in 4-5 billion years from now. Now religion should never get in the way of science and technology, if we as humans can advance than we shall take it. Religion should always be relegated to the belief section and science and technology as the go to for human evolution.

  • Watched this and I'm still a Muslim. What the extremist atheist such as don't get is religion is a belief and in that it can't be proven nor disproved, it is in the belief in the unseen. To some they can't understand it as humans we need to see something before we believe it, but once again i stress the belief Part. Atheists are wasting a lot of money and time thinking if they produce videos they can convince people to stop believing, but what they don't understand is religion comforts people.

  • @red44ever

    Excuse me if I don't trust your biased opinions over objective scientific facts. Human intuition is rubbish. We used to think the earth was flat, the sun orbits the Earth, and heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects. All of these statement make sense to our human minds, but they are the exact opposite in reality. Science is the only way to reveal the truth and know something for sure. I will not hold beliefs when the only reason that can be given is, "Because I say so!"

  • @red44ever

    "Atheists are as bad as extremist religious people." You think I'm as bad as the extremist Muslims that flew aircraft into the World Trade Center killing ~3,000 people? Get a grip on reality. Claiming atheists are equivalent to terrorists IS dumb, so you're not helping your case. Just because someone made fun of you for being Muslim doesn't justify equating ALL atheists with terrorists. Everyone gets their feelings hurt at some point in their life. Suck it up and get over it.

  • @red44ever

    By the way, you'd be surprised how many messages I get from people that claim my videos have inspired them to re-examine their beliefs and move toward atheism. But I do not make these videos to bring people to atheism. I see injustice with the practice of religion and gaping holes in logic with theistic morality. I speak about these subjects because I love philosophy and science, but if my work can help inspire someone to explore their own beliefs, then that's just icing on the cake.

  • @red44ever This man is just getting his own panties in a wad because we don't believe what he does. I'm a christian, and frankly I found this offensive that you mashed us with Catholics.

  • @iongodeo

    I don't care if you believe as me. But when I see statements like, "Atheists are as bad as extremist religious people" you better expect to get called on your bullshit, that's all. So you're a Christian that gets offended by being lumped together with Catholics? Haha. Do tell.

  • @DiscoveringReligion "Atheists are as bad as extremist religious people", that statement is not bullshit. Lets not forget about the athiest Mao, pol pot or Stalin and the list goes on, who combined killed more than any other religious group. You are also very aggressive, signs of a person who's losing a battle and can't go on anymore.

  • @red44ever

    Do I really need to explain this to you? Atheism is NOT a philosophy, it is merely a disbelief. Those "atheists" you speak of were communists. I am a secular humanist. The only thing we have in common is our rejection of God. Muslims, on the other hand, all believe in the Koran. There is no difference in what Muslims believe, the extremist just take it literally when the Koran says you should kill adulterers and infidels. Calling someone on their bullshit is not a sign of aggression.

  • @DiscoveringReligion Catholics are the emtremists of our religion. Most everything they say is NOT from the bible, and they usually get their practices through man's passed down word, not the word of god.

    Things like praying to Mary or statues, are forbidden. And the pope is seriously no one of importance. Catholics are as far away from Christians as you can get. We do have the same God, but we hold the Bible in high esteem and find it to be completely of truth, and not merely a "suggestion".

  • @red44ever good point on comfort. But consider that people who don't believe in the same way get comfort a different way too. They just need it all to sit with their logic a little better.

  • @red44ever Im Christian and I still agree with you 100% Thank you for making that point, which holds true across all religions.

  • This it beautiful :')

  • i support!

  • watch?v=ysNd4QGOgeY

  • Hey DiscoveringReligion, thanks for the videos mate but I have recently been asked one question regarding evolution. He said it was bullshit that man descended from apes because if selection pressure is the same for all species of apes to evolve into man, then why haven't all monkeys today turned into homo sapiens? I said it was maybe due to geographic isolation and sexual selection that leads to speciation but I wasn't sure of the answer. Can you provide I better explanation of this?

  • @Tomlowlife its actually very simple to understand, we share a common ancestor with apes, and chimps, as we do with many other human like ancestors, such as neanderthals, modern humans are just the survivors, where the other branches of our human cousins died off.

  • @FlatEarthFighter True, but if our common ancestors lived in the same area, then there should be gene flow b/w populations that prevents speciation. If so, then what evidence do we have that shows that a population of species has diverge from apes and became reproductively isolated. In essence, where is the actual "missing link" that everyone is talking about that provides this evidence. Forgive my ignorance.

  • @Tomlowlife We did not evolve from apes, we evolved from a common ancestor!!!

  • @Tomlowlife Species evolve to fit their niche some species survive better than others depending on the niche.

    Evolution isn't a ladder and doesn't have a goal.

    If that where the case then following that logic humans should have the senses equal to or better than other species

    Birds can up to 6-8 times better eyesight than humans. Other species have a much better sense of smell with a bear being 200X better. Other animals can hibernate, hold their breath longer, run faster ETC.

  • -to throw down your toys like spoled little children, and hurt each other rather than to sort the obvious problem out.

    I mean, how many more clues do you people need for you to realise you're all wrong.

    Read your biblem and become an atheist just like the resty of us, healthy brained individuals.

  • I have to say. I don't hate all you fundies. I hate the religions you people adhere to which frustrates me to no end.

    Fundies are (including normal religious folks ) are all just deluded sheeple, lazy scholars, who would prefer to squabble who's right and who's wrong rather than actually finding out where their idiocy stems from. Why I say you're utter fools? Because when confronted with rival differences within your own frigging religion, instead of addressing the issue, you choose to -

  • HAHA! I like how you expose the 'Banana man' -Ray frikking Comfort.

    What - an- idiot!

  • The rational world has to contest with people who believe in Balrogs of hell, who have access to nuclear warheads.

    I can't wait until people rid themselves of such IDIOTIC, supersticious thinking.

    The thinking of a child. Grown men and women who still think T-Rexes and Brachiosaurs walked among millions of animals on a single wooden boat.

    And these people have nuclear warheads!

    (facepalmSLAP!)

  • When does the war against religion start. Ill take point. Pile em high son!

  • @699backstab

    Although we live in a world of warring ideas, I would never touch another person in anger if I could help it (unless they attacked me first). The hope is that by challenging ideas and employing our ability to reason, we can dispel harmful, superstitious belief systems. Thus, we can change minds instead of extinguishing them.

  • @DiscoveringReligion So you think Humans ARENT under attack? Come on. You know better than that. Dont make me run than infantile simple idea. We are in a war for our lives. When I say we I mean homo sapeins sapeins. Religious ideology is the enemy and it will kill us all. Likely with radiation.

  • @699backstab

    So what is your solution to the problem of religion?

  • @DiscoveringReligion Religion is not a problem. Religions are just sets of ideas and alone cannot harm anyone. Human beings on the other hand can harm people whether they believe in said ideas or not. If history has taught us anything, it is that we humans will find ANY excuse to kill one-another. If you want to stop people from killing each other over their ideas, then I think you should invest in the technology to rapidly evolve us past our current violent (and self righteous) state.

  • DiscoveringReligion

    Excellent series.

    I agree with your non-violent approach. I was a Xian 5 years ago, had been all my life, but after 5 yrs of research, supported with my experience, I'm now an atheist. It wasn't a choice, but an unavoidable direction, having seen so much evidence against the Judeo-Christian Religion.

    I really do hope reason & education will overcome delusion, but who knows. Look at how religious extremism has generated so much hate and bloodshed throughout history.

  • evolution is a bad fairy tale.

  • @darkfur35

    And a rib-woman that ate a magical piece of fruit given to her by a talking serpent, which marked us with a cruse of corruption from the time of our birth and can only be relieved by harboring a belief in our medial prefrontal cortext that a man-God, born of a virgin during Bronze Age Palestine, came to provide a blood sacrifice on a Roman torture device, and if you don't believe you will be tortured in a pit of fire for all eternity ISN'T a bad fairy tale? I'll take evolution please.

  • @DiscoveringReligion Mate, darkfur35 is a troll...don't take the bait

  • How I wish there were 7 billion views in this video. Every human in this world deserve to know the truth and make Earth a better place...

  • @mrlol0123456789 I agree with you mate

  • Awesome! Thanks for producing this...so excited to watch entire series!!! Itsvsuch a relief tonfind like minded rational people out there:)

  • Theres great beauty in the universe. Indeed!! So much so that staunch atheist Steven Weinberg conceded "The beauty in nature is far more than we have any right to expect. It is almost irresistible to think this beauty was laid out for our purpose." Its only irresistible when one's ideology tries to equate that beauty with Naturalism alias mindless matter & chance, rather than an intelligent creator that brings meaning hope & destiny to all things. Atheists arent social deviants just misguided.

  • Trying to disprove God by comparing religions is like trying to deny the existence of atoms b/c we will probably never be able to see them and b/c there are numerous conflicting atomic orbital models & theories. Moreover evolution as a possible mechanism for the incredible biodiversityof life, no more disproves God than gravity did for Newton or Einstein in trying to explain planetary motion. All effects and mechanisms require abstract laws & causal agents. Thats how science works!

  • @Prodigalfather1

    What did I tell you about quote mining? I sent you a private message 10 days ago and you did not respond. Stop plastering my videos w/ irrelevant quotes. If you want to debate FACTS rather than opinionated statements, many of which you take out of context, I am up for it. But quoting Newton as evidence of God is no more reliable than quoting him to support the legitimacy of alchemy. I'm misguided? How arrogant of you. Ok, Christians aren't delusional, they are just misguided.

  • @Prodigalfather1 You are pathetic. Quote mining? Give us all a break.

  • is this like carl sagan's son or something?

  • very informative video thank you uploader it is true there is no such god and all the religions are bullshit..

    go science.

  • What is the guy at 06:16 trying to say ?

  • @dupree831

    That's Ray Comfort. He is a famous Christian apologist and in that clip he was trying to explain how the banana was specifically created by God to fit the human hand. If you keep watching the series I show the full clip, in episode 6.

  • Hei Bro, Don't discovered Religion, it is Human Made....but Discovered GOD it is natural.

  • you are a true scientist. I support you. This world has had enough of all these nonsenses about hating other people of different beliefs, races, and countries when ultimately we're all living under the same doubt brought about by our own self-consciousness on what we live for and that all of us are bound to die. We don't know what happens after that. You totally voiced out my opinions in a very organized and beautiful way.

  • why allways they link 119 to ISLAM !!!! , it's not true , ISLAM will never encourage muslims to do terrible things !!! ....... all these people are JUST A TERRORISTS , THEY ARE NOT MUSLIMS

  • @blckdays You can't pretend that Al Qaeda specifically, and those that buy into their theology, aren't inspired by Islam. Terrorists of many stripes draw from all kinds of theology and philosophy. 100+ years ago it was anarchists and nationalists who blew up carriages and assassinated world leaders. One of the consequences of freedom, technology, and radicalism coming together is the opportunity for terrorism.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @blckdays You're utilising a "No True Scotsman" argument here. It's not logically valid, you can't deny that those involved in 9/11 are muslims. They were muslims, and their justificationfor their actions is from their (or perhaps just Bin Laden's) interpretation of the Qur'an. No one can say that these actions are representative of Islam, just like the actions of Anders Behring Breivik aren't representative of Christianity - he was still Christian.

  • @Halo3ForumEurope

    you'r tottaly right ...... their misunderstanding of th Quran is one of the reason that leads them to do these terrible things .

  • @blckdays

    Misunderstanding what? It indicates that it ought to have rulership over all other people who are not Muslim, which effectively relegates all other people to second class citizens. In practice, that's a recipe for disaster.

    The punishment for apostasy is not explicitly mentioned in the Quran and yet various "successors" to Muhammad cannot definitely answer this question without devolving into sectarian strife.

    Islam is not the "peaceful" religion Muslims keep trying to claim.

  • @dhx84

    befor you put comments like that ..... inform yourself and read well about ISLAM and what is it .

  • @blckdays

    Dude. Shut up. I've read up on it, and I am not impressed by your ignorance.

  • people who commit suicide over personal social problems are such selfish douchebags. i mean look at the world, look at the stars so many shit to learn and see. astronomy itself will just blow your mind.

  • @MrArpas123

    Great observation. Of course, no institutes have lied, manipulated, committed mass murders and discriminated more than religious institutions. If there is one type of institution that is above the law and will never admit it's sins- it's the religious institutions. The number ONE cause of death in planet Earth IS religion. Because religions are the language of the devil- they were all stolen with BLOOD from a previous religion- TRUTH is the language of God.

  • check out this website. It tells about who God really is. Not what religions say he is. Very good site without all the religous regualtions and membership stuff. Lots on the site and not one mention of sending money. Has a link for anyone who wants too but never ask. some great stuff

  • Meditate

  • Actually Islam is the religion most prevalent in the world, which one day will become an Islamic continent itself Aruba .. Christians or Christianity, leaving most of the converts to their religion and probably do not know him very little, and some Christian in name only and did not know anything about his religion While most Muslims are adherent to their religion .. We have 5 prayers a day .. And attendance at the mosque, "church" is too much,

    ,Christians one day a week and attend few

  • @DiscoveringReligion I have just finished watching this first episode. I must say that I am excited and open-minded to see what else I can gain from watching this series. It is well constructed, you have good arguments, you clearly have a firm understanding of multiple religions and you try your best not to offend anyone's religious perspective. This is the perfect approach to give people a broadened perspective and I respect you for this. I shall subscribe and spread this video to other people

  • @MrArpas123 I know many atheists that do good. I guess the bible is wrong.

  • @MrArpas123

    you're a fucking retard

  • @MrArpas123

    I am well aware of what the Ten Commandments say, but you obviously are not, as evidence by your inability to show where it says we must love God and our neighbors as ourselves.

    Now, Do you have a mental defect, what about REPLY to my comments dont you understand? This conversation is completely out of order. I have given my final warning. This debate is over because you cant follow directions.

  • @MrArpas123

    I told you to respond to my comments. If you cannot follow directions the debate will be over. You need to go re-read the Bible, LOL. The Ten Commandments do not say we need to love God and your fellow man as yourself. Also, your channel is a complete joke. You have disabled all comments. Obviously you cannot handle an atheist in debate and all you do is quote scripture. If you want to debate properly, I will, but only if you REPLY TO MY COMMENTS. If not, then say good bye.

  • I am quite disgusted by the amount of pure hate on this comment board. As an agnostic, I see people pointing to the negatives of religion and only the negatives. There have been many benefits to religion. It gives people a set of morals to follow in order to be a good person, with notable exceptions like commandment 1. While there are negatives in religion like the Crusades, and halting heliocentricism, the positives do exist. What I see here is blatant, narrow minded bigotry.

  • @MaddieTheCoolKid

    Yes, some atheists seem bitter, but just look at this country. We are inundated with religious propaganda by those who base their beliefs on nothing but mere beliefs. Zealots are running this country into the ground, forcing the faithful to vote along religious lines rather than solid economic policies. The US has been hijack and it's time to get pissed off about it! Furthermore, morality does not come from religion, that's an absurd statement for an "agnostic" to make.

  • @DiscoveringReligion I know that morality doesn't come from religion, I was merely stating that the morals found in the bible are good morals to follow. Religious propaganda is heavy in our country but the amount of people who are realizing that zealots are bad for the country is growing tremendously. People, even very religious people, have been taking science more seriously and have noticed that their religion conflicts with so many universal laws. I just think that we needn't get so mad here.

  • For those who are seeking to discover religion, Ill save you the trouble. ITS ALL BULLSHIT AND A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME. Do something meaningful with your life instead of wasting it on religious pursuits. EVERYONE will be better off if you did.

  • Religion is the deadliest poison that ever has come over mankind.

    It is a spiritual dictatorship that enslaves innocent children!

    The results are well known to us all:

    War, crime, hate, sexual attacks, stupidity etc.!

    Welcome to our sick planet Earth.

  • @advers1078; I apologize,I thought U were one of those religious fanatics.One more time,I am sorry.

  • i like you inserted the Hong Kong skyline.....:)

  • Religion has done nothing but create destruction to the world and give miserable people false hopes and dreams.

  • are u shia??? dont show a lieeee

  • i think the biggest problem for religion is not whether a god exists, it is which god exists. While it can't be proven whether or not there is some intelligent entity out there, it can be proven that the gods of man-made religions do not exist. When atheists say "there is no god" they are being too general because this really can't be proven. It should be specified that the various gods man has invented do not exist. Therefore deism is the only reasonable theistic concept out there.

  • Comment removed

  • @carlsm95 I disagree, the bases of god is scripture, one can't disagree with an entity unless an entity can be described, religion has described an entity and has stated it existence which provides atheist the bases as to question their statement and prove, deist fail to achieve even this they subscribe to the bases of gods existence either for reasons of believing it makes humanity more moral or for other ideology but like the religious they fail to provide proof of claim; deism is ignorant.

  • @advers1078 There is really no difference between an atheist and a deist because neither believes in an afterlife or follows a set of rules like religion. The only difference in a deist is that a being designed this universe but it doesn't care what you and i do. I said it was the ONLY reasonable theistic belief because it is least based off superstition and primitive beliefs. It doesn't really matter if you're a deist or atheist though.

  • @carlsm95 well I disagree again, there is a major difference in that the atheistic position is that man-made god as you put it, can be proven to not exist by question the integrity of their individual scriptures and as such we can come to the position god doesn't exist; whereas the deist position is that even without scripture the universe must require a god, that's the most primitive of ideologies, which is also a baseless claim. if man-made god doesn't exist their is no bases for god to exist.

  • what a great show

  • I just want to say thank you for posting a series like this. It is great to see pure rational investigation in action. I hope many people have the opportunity to see this series because our future depends on the idea that we will actually step back and think about why we believe what we believe and do what we do.

  • all religions are bad, dangerous and inhuman.

    Mankind needs to solve their problems not praying.

    Christians are killing Moslems (et vice versa) that is the reality!

    Anything is stupidest fraud !

    take political responsibility - stop praying

  • evolution is bull shit. science is made up.

  • @cherokeediamond ,CherokeeCarbon; Im going to pray with all my heart 2 Ur god so U die at this very moment.if it doesnt happen it means HE/SHE is BULL SHIT. ARE U STILL ALIVE?

  • @kemlar69 50 cent once said in an interview "Every Time you say a prayer and god didn't answer, its because he said to your ass NO". I'm atheist but I thought it was very funny. here is a link to it if anyone is interested /watch?v=xntv7uqdy8I

  • @kemlar69 whatever weirdo

  • Wtf...!?!?

  • science has certain faith aspects in it such as the big bang there are speculations but no proof of what caused it and why. Its hard to believe it just happened for no reason out of the blue some may believe god caused it but its all up to the individual to decide what to believe in. That last line sounded like a line from mgs haha

  • too wrong...imam?!!! christian and islam r so much alike the only different is that we believe in one God which they christian believe he is the father and jesus his prophet which christian believe he is the son of god !

  • too intense... too fast ...

  • there are chritian scientist out there which are not heard in mainstream and they belive that god created the world and they can prove this,i would recamend you listen to them on revalation tv

  • @lemonade2117

    Hrm... I am not interested in what scientists "believe", Christian** or otherwise. I only concern myself with facts that have withstood the scientific, peer-review process. Furthermore, I would never look to a religiously biased TV station for this information, no matter how creditable their "proof" might seem. It does not matter if a scienist is mainstream, if they haven't been published and their research cant withstand the peer review process, they mean nothing.
