@BrandonBlaze904 So long as you aren't pushing it on the rest of us especially through political means then no. This series is designed to explain the psychological and sociological mechanisms that make some people choose or stay in a religion. It is made to better understand the mind, and hopefully for atheists to be a bit more reasonable or at least understanding when talking to the religious.
Intelligence is irrelevant to religion.From every part of the globe people believe in something or don't.This as been going on for thousands of years.Why do you care?
@jewelzqueen Why do I care? Besides the fact that many of my fellow atheists call religious stupid for believing in irrational things, I also was raised to believe stupid shit ignorant of science and fearing for the souls of people burning in hell causing massive depression. This series of 40 so far is a breakdown of the psychological mechanisms that cause irrational belief.
@anubis2814 I agree with you but that won't change anything.People are attached to certain beliefs/religions.Even if facts are presented it will be ignored.I don't believe in anything unless i see it with my own eyes in research scientifically speaking.I have seen some good points on your end and the end of religious people.
@jewelzqueen I am not going to reach the true believers, evidence will not phase them. I made this for atheists to be more understanding and for those who are doubting to have the courage to leave their religion if they choose to. I have had many doubting religious people in my old situation who were able to get out of their life of depression thanks to my videos. Also the religious vote and try to take away our rights everyday. Also I am educating how the brain works which enriches us all
@anubis2814 So in conclusion it is a never-ending debate of either side.I made peace with that and decided to go on my own path of truth.Don't obesses over what others are doing in their life.It won't get you anywhere.People believe in all kinds of things that are not visibly there.I don't care and neither should you anubis.
@jewelzqueen Fully agreed :) I'm still amazed at how many people make a bigger deal about someone else's beliefs than how to contribute to earth. Let's sit down, forgive each other, and think about how our scientists, religious or not, can make the world a better place!
I'll say this, being an intelligent Noahide: Religion, or even lack of, is not what's holding the world back. It's those from either side who would rather invest their time in bickering than learning or producing.
@MacOO7 The difference is science reveals itself and its amazing and overwhelming without a deity. Religion requires either neurological misfires of emotion, or to wait til after you are dead.
@anubis2814 You seem to have missed my point entirely. I'm just saying science, which I find fascinating, does not have all the answers especially when it's dealing with things beyond the scope of it's ability to study. That's why it's by faith you understand that which is spiritual in nature.
@MacOO7 Things beyond the scope if its ability to study we make no claims and therefore need no faith. Things like an afterlife or a spirit has been pretty much shot down at every level with neurology and the need for a creator has become massively redundant with all of the other evidence. Beyond that I am fascinated but I don't have to have faith because it doesn't effect me in any way.
@5:36: I disagree. "Tolerance" is another word for "Putting up with", which is really describing a negative situation one would rather avoid. Tolerance eventually runs dry. I think the word you're looking for is "Understanding".
@longasora By that logic who created god? Because according to you life cannot come from emergent natural properties and laws of the universe like natural selection of random mutations, self-replicating chemical bonding, or zero point singularities, then GOD had to be created by someone greater, who was created by someone great to the point of infinity. If you are going to make a rule you can't give special pleading for your special emotional idea. Or you could look at the hard science.
@longasora you dismiss other unknow possiblities, allso unless you can explain how god created, then your argument is as plausible as i sayin. "universe was converted from mater and energy in a field of stacis that exist everywhere at once, by dark mater passing trough this field". this is more plausible then what you propoce, that antropomorfic being with supernatural power AKA magic. coused univeres from exta nilo. aka, incanteited from nothing. my modle is non-antropomorfic.
This is sad. He might as well psychoanalyze why smart people still believe 1+1=2. Sounds like a flatlander helping us "understand" why some believe in a 3rd spatial dimension. The field he should look at is epistemology, the study of the limits of knowledge. He might discover that (1) The Bible is validated by numerous true statements the writers could not have known: Space is expanding, it wears out, it can be bent, time had a beginning. (2) Many things he "explains" are unknowable stats. OOPS
@357MagnumBob Sorry but this series is for atheists who have looked into the science as well as the epistemology and are baffled as to why people like you are still blindly follow religion. Epistemology is great because if you can narrow the field of focus, you can make logic say anything or prove anything, why we made science to find evidence. Historicity disproves the bible at all events because there were tons and tons of political reasons and natural biases to make it say things.
@anubis2814 First of all, you say "tons and tons ..." I'd be surprised if you could actually come up with any in particular, or in other words, I want names. It's not that I disagree that the bible was not necessarily compiled by those with the spirit of prophecy or that it was defiled time and time again, I just would be surprised if you actually had your hands on any real facts regarding that statement. Second, why would God only care about a select group of people in egypt/Israel?
@fiftyseventheory Josiah and Hezekiah were the big movers and shakers in terms of redacting biblical history. Prior to Hezekiah there wasn't really any evidence literacy in Israel and all stories were orally passed on. A good book written by a Jewish archaeologist is called "The bible unearthed". I discuss these two kings later in the series. I like your second statement though.
@anubis2814 cool, I'll check that out. And if you liked my second statement Then check out The Book of Mormon, because God didn't just have prophets in Isreal, they were all over the place and eventually we'll have more accounts than just that one.
Debating with creationists is extremely difficult because they are not really interested in debating, only in spouting their own beliefs. I'm sure that christian fundies spend a lot of time on youtube eagerly devouring every ridiculous claim made against evolution, while completely ignoring all the relevant scientific research.
@8698gil There's nothing in my belief system that would disconnect the two ---evolution and God --- and I'm a devout Christian. If we believe that God created everything why would we ever try to define the way he did it?
It just like the movie the "Invention of Lying". Religion makes people feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It drives away the terror that you would feel if you thought about nothingness after you die. Its not so bad to think about nothingness though. We just can't comprehend not existing. It's not like you will be in pain. You just "won't be". There is nothing to be afraid of.
@anubis i can't fit into the category of deism,no because i am open to the possibility that miracles do happen.It requires faith.On the matter of psychology ,psychology is important in discovery.The father of physics ,newton, had to have his ego massaged ,cajoled even by others before his work came to fruition . Don't discount psychology or belief. I think you may be agnostic in your philosophy.
@dlkdyscot I am an agnostic atheist, I work on percent probability and the need or probability of a god is ridiculously low. Miracles happen equally to believers and non-believers. There are things called outliers in statistics which don't happen often but they are probable enough to have naturalistic reasons. No miracle reported so far is beyond these probability statistics. Psychology is a useful tool and I'm not discounting it at all.
@anubis2814 all i can say is that you're right partly in that organised religion does have flaws,people coming together, doctrines etc,but stupidity is too strong a word i feel. I have faith, that 'leap of faith' is scary thing ,it can't be described .Much of the great discoveries from the past came from scientists making that leap of faith,an intuitive intelligence, something that came from nowhere, some people might call this god i believe. Einstein himself said 'god does not roll dice'
@dlkdyscot Then you may be defined as a deist if your definition is that open. Hence this series "Why do INTELLIGENT people still believe?" Psychology accounts for all the unfounded beliefs or arguments. Most of the great discoveries did not come from a leap of faith, they came from following science, and if their was a high enough probability that a field of research would prove useful, they would invest the massive time and energy needed to investigate. They backed it up with evidence.
@anubis2814 thanks for response. You used the word stupidity and religion together. Let me ask you a question, respectfully ,if i may.Is your mind closed to the possibility that a creative force created the universe and all things in it, including us? The current scientists are basically stabbing in the dark,hoping that what they find will prove or disprove theories they have ,but not just theories, PREDICTIONS of theories.Just like weather prediction.The same principle.
@dlkdyscot All evidence we have points toward a naturalistic beginning. If there was a creative force, he either started at the big bang and just let everything go, or he's extremely incompetent. I don't know what you mean by predictions of theories, anything that occurs on this scope (aka not quantum and not cosmological) has been determined to be naturalistic. I am open minded to evidence, but if I'm believing in ancient stuff I might as well believe in the spirits /watch?v=DzC3h2fKzec
@anubis2814 thank you for enlightening me on the salty water effect. There are just so many 'gaps' would you not agree? I believe that balance is important,thus my original comment.The hadron collider is the current pinacle of scientific research i believe.The PINACLE.Basically,the 'greatest' minds on the planet are basically jus smashing things together very fast and looking at the debris. That 's what the scientific mind has come up with.
@dlkdyscot There are no longer so many gaps, because every single thing we didn't understand that we filled in with "god done it" or "the spirits done it" have been found to have naturalistic explanations. Every single one, even though it appeared to be magic before we carefully understood it. The reason why dealing with the sub atomic is so difficult is because it operates in rules that our brains did not evolve to process. You obviously don't understand why smashing particle works
@dlkdyscot pt 2 Please watch this video I made /watch?v=iuT2cj0o9_U discussing quantum physics and the methodology that quantum physicists use to design experiments. Science is not about knowing something, it is completely agnostic which is never 100% certain but is ridiculously highly probable. Science works to constantly refine the lens, but instead of studying that, you use arguments from ignorance. I don't understand therefore it will never be understood therefore god did it.
Religion is something separate to spirituality. Belief in god isn,t scientific ,there are no tests or experiments that a 'logical' mind could devise to study him. Scientists don't even know what the universe is made of,or the sun.A dentist once told me the gargling of hot salty water has exactly the same effect as a mouthwash which people buy and the process of how it works is unknown.
@dlkdyscot So because you don't know something you automatically fill it in with god? That's called a "god of the gaps" argument. They stuck god in that for thunder as well. We actually know quite well why it works, mouthwash is just more pleasant to use, and there are other properties are added to it. Your dentist probably was unaware. Its a process called osmosis. When an isotonic(highly concentrated) solution is put in your mouth, the bacterial membrane leaks water killing it.
Oh, also, I just wanted to add that I had to read some of Jared Diamond's "Guns, Germs, and Steel" for a world history class, and it turned out to be a great read! (albeit a little dense).
you can disprove god, you can disprove that god created world, but you cant disprove that we, you exist. if nothing created world that wont stop me believing that IT(nothing) "created" it. it just stop me believing that something that exists or existed created it. it doesnt exist, it just create, not noun, the verb is important, it isnt physical, its acting, it doesnt have to exist to be able to act. its enough to know that only exists act of creating. and it create itself.
i mean something gave us natural instincts, i really dont want to die, i want to live and maybe do something for world, i just can understand why. IT(god?) didnt explain to us why it make us wanting to live, have children etc. and maintain our "breed" or keep whatever living survived. why it should explain to us why it created religion and why IT exists. why it made us not believing that nothing can create something. even if nothing created world, its not important, important is word "created"
...jesus, religion etc maybe matrix reality that IT(superenergy-power(god?)) present and serve you. if there can be 7 - 11 universe dimensions and other extraordinry things beyond universe, why you think, the creation power of universe couldnt be able to serve and prepare for you reality of religion and make it real no matter how non sense it is. even by pure random. these are revolutionary ideas but you cant disprove them.
just thing about it, why it just couldn happen, jesus and all that things, i dont say there are not bad things in religion, but if somebody something(nothing) not god, some unconscious power, could create universe, supernovas etc, why it just couldnt create jesus, and make fun of you watching you being angry about his "creation" that religion doesnt make sense. it just want to busy your mind thinking about how non sense creation of world in 7 days is. so that you can concentrate on other thing
On your linking destitution with the lack of innovation I can see your point, I'm not sure I agree. If you compare, say, Sweden with Africa and you can see a more inhospitable climate producing a Nobel (and many subsequent laureates) while the whole continent of Sub-Saharan Africa producing only two winners outside of South Africa - and these were for the Peace Prize?
I don't know the answer obviously, but it seems more complex at least....
@GenericGenerator Guns Germs and Steel by Jarod Diamond explains it very well actually. If you have even a hint of racism left it will be destroyed by his explanations. Either get his book or look him up on google movies,
EVERY human has equal rights (and responsibilities) regardless of race etc.
The question is, "why did the Tasmanian Aborigines become less specialized prior to Western invasion?"
WRT GG&S this is not relevant to that question as it is an argument of the effects after Western invasion
GS&S supports your assertion that people with too little time do not innovate - he claims Arab&W'ern cultures had it easy with their crops and animals which enabled innovation. But doesn't address the why?
@GenericGenerator Did you read my other response about trade? New ideas are needed. Mind you When comparing Sweden with Africa that's two different animals. The European invasion pretty much shattered what little infrastructure some areas had. Once Europeans left there was a massive power vacuum, causing terrible wars and poverty. Without infrastructure you can do much. Physical Infrastructure (roads, plumbing etc) and mental infrastructure (education, libraries) make the difference.
I agree. My original point was about the Tasmanian Aborigines who moved from specific function tools to general ones - odd compared to other societies. This was before the European invasion so while I agree with your comment it doesn't apply to this specific circumstance. The question is "why did they"?
One wonders where Sub-Saharan Africa would be if the world made the same investment they made in Europe and Japan after WWII? Doubt we would have the same issues as we do today...
The Tasmanian Aboriginals were certainly inhumanely treated.
Oddly though, they actually regressed over time including a move to more simple/broader technologies and at one point they stopped eating fish entirely. Man theories including they didn't need the same level of specialization which required more effort to produce, that their pop size was small and inbreeding had an impact and so on. But there is/was no bamboo there or any easy answer.
@GenericGenerator Some scientist link in to trade, without trade new ideas are not replenished and can be lost over time when survival trumps infrastructure and knowledge.
Before you applaud your cleverness too much, keep in mind that Ray Comfort's "stupidness" takes in about 10 million $ a year. Who do you really think is smarter, the guy who points out that the word gullible is NOT written on the ceiling, or the guy who makes 8 figures a year telling gullible people what they want to hear?
@anubis2814 really?? Well, they just always had horses in films - did they get them for us? It just seemed to be a tradition they had to ride horses. Did they not ride anything? Well you learn something new every day.
@Al1981X Yeah the Spanish introduced them to the horse and they took to riding like a fish takes to water. Horses actually evolved in North America then migrated over the Bering straight just as man was migrating to north america. The north american horses died out probably from overhunting for food. Jarod Diamond's "Guns, germs and steel" theorizes that this is why Eurasia invaded America and not the other way around
In an interview with Hemut, The Friendly Atheist, Ray said that he used the banana gig as a comedy routine for live audiences and that it was intended to be funny. His (evangelical xtian) audiences always found it funny and he said (in hindsight) that it was a mistake to release it in video form. Christian comedy is very simple-minded and "safe" for an audience that does not want to question anything.
BRILLIANT! Or... Am I just being lazy, not nit-picking your arguments? So you're saying that people can be stupid but well evolved. Does it have to be a choice between? T_T
@TheEntryCode What is well evolved? People can be people, and be dumb, and survive. Put einstein and hulk hogan in a fight to death, which one lives to teach of the importances of life?
It's only when the stronger factions get intelligent enough to undrestand what greatness brainpower brings, when societies flourish. And it's the creationists who are sawing the branch they sit upon by pissing on science. Power no more = physical strenth, as strength comes from technology these days.
@outofdarkness100 Yes his banana argument shows how well god taught him natural selection. The fact that every argument he uses is the same in every one of his books and there is little variance at all and they are all bad. Ray is a salesman who sounds very smart. That why he ran circles around Thunderf00t, because the levels of errors in his knowledge of science was so staggering that TF spent all of his time stopping to try and teach complex topics and Ray just moved on to the next thing
The way ray comfort talks about bananas he seems to be expecting a fruity money shot. Good point that intelligence is not innate and that fear being a factor that stifles scientific advancement.
Why innovation is counter-intuitive... I've run into this one at work constantly. When faced with a task, mental or physical, the rational thing to do is to spend a few minutes working out the most efficient way to get it done. Those few minutes spent "doing nothing" would pay dividends when you eventually tackle the job. But the boss is always right there, yelling "Just get on with it!" because being seen to be working hard is so important that working smart doesn't get a look in.
@ElShadaiLives Yay ad-hominem attacks. You flood my forum with utter crap that I grew up with, and then call me chicken for not studying them. I used to live in a conspiracy filled superstitious world, but you know it is very easy to find conspiracy in incompetence and individual collective greed. I found a much more logical way to think Everything you have shown me follows statistics and your own ignorance of how evolution and even the world works. My 7th in this series sums you up well
@ElShadaiLives Ok, I watched his vid and you do realize how insanely over simplified that chart is right? Every single species on that chart has been pains takingly researched down to the last detail in ways you will never know because it not your job, field or interest to know. I'm dating an archeologist so I now know just the insane level of precision and conservatism they have to take before they can make a single positive claim about anything.
This video sums you up well, even thinking that you might be wrong and scientists who labored their entire lives to better humanities understanding of reality, for relatively little pay compared to many other fields for the same education and work may be right because they have defined a system called peer review to eliminate errors, would shatter your little world because you have the ultimate truth
Wow, you don't even believe math or physics. You impress me sir. How about you watch some of my other vids, this one is getting cluttered which is why I think youtube is blocking you and deleting your comments. I do have other things to say on this channel that you will most likely disagree with irrationally.
@ElShadaiLives Um no I understand evolution, I have studied the mountains of evidence, because it takes years to study it all, and grasp it all. I also understand the point of view you are coming from as I believed in Ken Ham style creationism til I was about 22. Then I went to college and actually found out how evolution works and not what creationists claims scientists say evolution is. Scientists however don't tell you all the details, but its there if you ever wanted to read it.
@ElShadaiLives The info is out there. Its a lot of work and fossils are constantly being discovered as evidence daily. We are transitional species and will continue to change over time. Science currently has more transitional fossils than we know where to categorize them, if this was a young earth then there was never enough room to fit all of these species into the same environment. Donexodus2 explains evolution very well like a college class. I'm not wasting your time, this is my channel
@ElShadaiLives Please watch Thuderf00t's series "Why Do People Laugh at creationists?" In just the first 5 videos using simple math and physics, thuderf00t shows that Hovind is a moron and insane. Also I did not delete that last comment, It was like that when I found it, please re post if that was not you.
@ElShadaiLives Actually the heat level of that time period was perfect for random molecular reactions to occur. Of course we can't create a cell out of randomness in a lab, be dont have a planet the size of the earth and a billion years. We know how polypeptides came about, any we are working on later items. There is a scant minority of deniers out there who either don't know or don't want to know the evidence for evolution we have which is enormous.
@ElShadaiLives Actually I removed none of your comments, I promise you that. I saw some comments that were removed and I unblocked them and tried to make sure they weren't removed. As I said I do not sensor, unless they are spamming. I saw a few that said they were removed by the user. I have many times seem youtube remove comments or mark it as spam for no reason. If you had a comment that was removed please repost it.
@ElShadaiLives You have posted so many comments I don't even know where this is continued from. You seem to want to believe that all science is evil if you disagree with it. Science is a tool that can be either used for good or evil. Science is never evil the politics of science can be though. I never said that a doctor of botany is not considered a science. However, science is very field specific and if you aren't in the industry you are usually never taught how efficacy testing works & why
@ElShadaiLives Just wondering. Are you a Jews for Jesus? Just wondering since you use many Hebrew words. Also I just read the content to find that an all loving god tells people that slavery, war bride rape and genocide are perfectly fine. He told them to cut off parts of their penis but couldn't stop them from having slaves? Nothing loving about that, in fact my video god is NOT love will attest to that in nature itself.
@ElShadaiLives You are correct, America in general doesn't give a shit about science or its history which is very sad. Money is the motivator for everything we do and since academic and pure research science doesn't make and money in the short term we kill whatever is made.
@ElShadaiLives Yes, most Brits at the time were quite racist and almost made the Nazis look normal. Land was wealth. Eddie Izzard does a great bit about this and flags. If you read "Voyage of the Beagle" by Darwin however he was very forward thinking for his time and had great admiration for indigenous peoples. Mind you he later thought that Blacks and whites were different species, but hey, the theory has adjusted a lot and we have learned a lot more about it in 150 years.
@ElShadaiLives This was an earlier video when I was very camera shy and was reading from a script. I still read from scripts but you can't tell nearly as much. I wish I could just ad lib but my brain goes blank in front of a camera, no idea why. People find that hard to believe when they talk to me in person.
@ElShadaiLives Hmm, well that all the DNA evidence has been falsified too, as that is my field of expertise, its difficult to falsify the huge mountain of evidence for DNA such as tracing traits and point mutation and endogenous retroviruses.
As you may have noticed the last video you commented on I sounded a lot more relaxed. I actually have aspergers so sounding natural can be a challenge at times.
@ElShadaiLives scandals and scams occur though out the world and in all fields of science because science is done by humans, but the peer review process tends to catch those scams easier than most, because if it can't be replicated using the exact same conditions, then its not true, meaning that you would be able to repeat the same study if you decided the effort was worth it to you. There is nothing a scientist like more than to find something wrong and rip a fellow scientist apart.
@ElShadaiLives Of course when it comes to artifacts, there are a limited number of these so while they cannot replicate the artifacts themselves they can repeat the tests on the artifacts. Also I do not censor if a person is being polite and not repeating the same things. Everything you have said has been original and pertains quite well to the argument. If you have been on youtube as long as I have you begin to catch early warnings of trolls, as they eat up your time out of boredom I guess
@ElShadaiLives I actually have heard of this doctor but I haven't heard anything about him since, I need to look into him and find out what his test methods are. I don't really know the scientific community enough to name names like that. Please find his name for me if you can (if you don't feel like it, its not an issue, not your job), I would love to look him up more. Many reasons why a treatment is rejected is because they used bad or unethical testing procedures or claims.
@ElShadaiLives According to articles I'm reading this guy has a forum and blocks all negative comments from his site. Anecdotal evidence is very convincing to a lay person sadly. There are also several accounts where people ended up dying in his care why they could have been easily treated and caught early. These are common in fake medicine. He also claims that cancer is caused by yeasts which is the dumbest thing I have ever heard, we know how it works, which is why we know its so hard
@ElShadaiLives As state prior anecdotal evidence is very powerful. Cancer can go into remission or just hiding, but she will never be cancer free unless she is one of those lucky rare people called outliers. I'm sure she believes it is effective and that is the power of the placebo effect There are respected scientists who are looking into natural prevention, using large study populations and double blind testing. C0nc0rdance here on youtube finally killed any faith I have in alternatives
@ElShadaiLives If you are going to start spamming all of my videos I may have to block you. I did cite my sources by a well established and noted anthropologist. Science is a tool to understand reality, it is not a religion. I already agreed with you that I have a religion by dictionary com's definition but not one by Websters definition.
@ElShadaiLives When you were repeating an argument from a previous video instead of coming up with a different argument or critique on that particular video it came off as spam. You new arguments are perfectly acceptable for this video.
@ElShadaiLives All the exterminations and whatever else were kind of sad. In that case both parties were idiots. But I was just talking about people who don't even try to learn or prove their believes. One thing if we can work together to better ourselves like how we supposedly learned farming techniques from native tribes. But when people refuse to listen to reason that is when stupidity takes hold. And yeah, Americans are soulless and greedy but... you still love you us.
@ElShadaiLives Every new invention will upset the balance of nature, however it has been pointed out while there is a moore's law for technology, there is also a moore's law of ethics and morality. As bad as it seems to be, people are more socially and environmentally conscious than they ever were thanks to increase in communication. 50 years ago a black man couldn't even eat at the same lunch counter as me. Humanity is going to be a constant race between ethical awareness and technology.
@ElShadaiLives Oh come on dood I'm just trolling on other vids. Your beliefs don't make you stoopid. you're attitude does! People out there read one bible passage and think they know everything. They are stupid. Look at that Ray Comfort guy. And souls: look you have life and personality; not some supernatural thing attached to you. Cool? Really dude trolls just try to get you to think. Don't hate; Chill. Also... quit stalking me.
Some very intelligent people still pretend to believe a religion just so they can make use of the benefits of the community

why do intelligent people still believe in religion its because they want to. got problem?

@anubis2814 So in conclusion it is a never-ending debate of either side.I made peace with that and decided to go on my own path of truth.Don't obesses over what others are doing in their life.It won't get you anywhere.People believe in all kinds of things that are not visibly there.I don't care and neither should you anubis.
jewelzqueen 3 weeks ago
@jewelzqueen Fully agreed :) I'm still amazed at how many people make a bigger deal about someone else's beliefs than how to contribute to earth. Let's sit down, forgive each other, and think about how our scientists, religious or not, can make the world a better place!
I'll say this, being an intelligent Noahide: Religion, or even lack of, is not what's holding the world back. It's those from either side who would rather invest their time in bickering than learning or producing.

@anubis2814 You seem to have missed my point entirely. I'm just saying science, which I find fascinating, does not have all the answers especially when it's dealing with things beyond the scope of it's ability to study. That's why it's by faith you understand that which is spiritual in nature.
MacOO7 3 weeks ago
@MacOO7 Things beyond the scope if its ability to study we make no claims and therefore need no faith. Things like an afterlife or a spirit has been pretty much shot down at every level with neurology and the need for a creator has become massively redundant with all of the other evidence. Beyond that I am fascinated but I don't have to have faith because it doesn't effect me in any way.

longasora 1 month ago
@longasora By that logic who created god? Because according to you life cannot come from emergent natural properties and laws of the universe like natural selection of random mutations, self-replicating chemical bonding, or zero point singularities, then GOD had to be created by someone greater, who was created by someone great to the point of infinity. If you are going to make a rule you can't give special pleading for your special emotional idea. Or you could look at the hard science.
anubis2814 1 month ago 5
@longasora you dismiss other unknow possiblities, allso unless you can explain how god created, then your argument is as plausible as i sayin. "universe was converted from mater and energy in a field of stacis that exist everywhere at once, by dark mater passing trough this field". this is more plausible then what you propoce, that antropomorfic being with supernatural power AKA magic. coused univeres from exta nilo. aka, incanteited from nothing. my modle is non-antropomorfic.

This is sad. He might as well psychoanalyze why smart people still believe 1+1=2. Sounds like a flatlander helping us "understand" why some believe in a 3rd spatial dimension. The field he should look at is epistemology, the study of the limits of knowledge. He might discover that (1) The Bible is validated by numerous true statements the writers could not have known: Space is expanding, it wears out, it can be bent, time had a beginning. (2) Many things he "explains" are unknowable stats. OOPS

@357MagnumBob Sorry but this series is for atheists who have looked into the science as well as the epistemology and are baffled as to why people like you are still blindly follow religion. Epistemology is great because if you can narrow the field of focus, you can make logic say anything or prove anything, why we made science to find evidence. Historicity disproves the bible at all events because there were tons and tons of political reasons and natural biases to make it say things.
anubis2814 2 months ago
@anubis2814 First of all, you say "tons and tons ..." I'd be surprised if you could actually come up with any in particular, or in other words, I want names. It's not that I disagree that the bible was not necessarily compiled by those with the spirit of prophecy or that it was defiled time and time again, I just would be surprised if you actually had your hands on any real facts regarding that statement. Second, why would God only care about a select group of people in egypt/Israel?

@fiftyseventheory Josiah and Hezekiah were the big movers and shakers in terms of redacting biblical history. Prior to Hezekiah there wasn't really any evidence literacy in Israel and all stories were orally passed on. A good book written by a Jewish archaeologist is called "The bible unearthed". I discuss these two kings later in the series. I like your second statement though.

@anubis2814 cool, I'll check that out. And if you liked my second statement Then check out The Book of Mormon, because God didn't just have prophets in Isreal, they were all over the place and eventually we'll have more accounts than just that one.

It just like the movie the "Invention of Lying". Religion makes people feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It drives away the terror that you would feel if you thought about nothingness after you die. Its not so bad to think about nothingness though. We just can't comprehend not existing. It's not like you will be in pain. You just "won't be". There is nothing to be afraid of.

@anubis i can't fit into the category of deism,no because i am open to the possibility that miracles do happen.It requires faith.On the matter of psychology ,psychology is important in discovery.The father of physics ,newton, had to have his ego massaged ,cajoled even by others before his work came to fruition . Don't discount psychology or belief. I think you may be agnostic in your philosophy.
dlkdyscot 6 months ago
@dlkdyscot I am an agnostic atheist, I work on percent probability and the need or probability of a god is ridiculously low. Miracles happen equally to believers and non-believers. There are things called outliers in statistics which don't happen often but they are probable enough to have naturalistic reasons. No miracle reported so far is beyond these probability statistics. Psychology is a useful tool and I'm not discounting it at all.
anubis2814 6 months ago
@anubis2814 all i can say is that you're right partly in that organised religion does have flaws,people coming together, doctrines etc,but stupidity is too strong a word i feel. I have faith, that 'leap of faith' is scary thing ,it can't be described .Much of the great discoveries from the past came from scientists making that leap of faith,an intuitive intelligence, something that came from nowhere, some people might call this god i believe. Einstein himself said 'god does not roll dice'
dlkdyscot 6 months ago
@dlkdyscot Then you may be defined as a deist if your definition is that open. Hence this series "Why do INTELLIGENT people still believe?" Psychology accounts for all the unfounded beliefs or arguments. Most of the great discoveries did not come from a leap of faith, they came from following science, and if their was a high enough probability that a field of research would prove useful, they would invest the massive time and energy needed to investigate. They backed it up with evidence.
anubis2814 6 months ago
@anubis2814 thanks for response. You used the word stupidity and religion together. Let me ask you a question, respectfully ,if i may.Is your mind closed to the possibility that a creative force created the universe and all things in it, including us? The current scientists are basically stabbing in the dark,hoping that what they find will prove or disprove theories they have ,but not just theories, PREDICTIONS of theories.Just like weather prediction.The same principle.
dlkdyscot 6 months ago
@dlkdyscot All evidence we have points toward a naturalistic beginning. If there was a creative force, he either started at the big bang and just let everything go, or he's extremely incompetent. I don't know what you mean by predictions of theories, anything that occurs on this scope (aka not quantum and not cosmological) has been determined to be naturalistic. I am open minded to evidence, but if I'm believing in ancient stuff I might as well believe in the spirits /watch?v=DzC3h2fKzec

That 's what the scientific mind has come up with.
dlkdyscot 6 months ago
@dlkdyscot There are no longer so many gaps, because every single thing we didn't understand that we filled in with "god done it" or "the spirits done it" have been found to have naturalistic explanations. Every single one, even though it appeared to be magic before we carefully understood it. The reason why dealing with the sub atomic is so difficult is because it operates in rules that our brains did not evolve to process. You obviously don't understand why smashing particle works

@dlkdyscot pt 2 Please watch this video I made /watch?v=iuT2cj0o9_U discussing quantum physics and the methodology that quantum physicists use to design experiments. Science is not about knowing something, it is completely agnostic which is never 100% certain but is ridiculously highly probable. Science works to constantly refine the lens, but instead of studying that, you use arguments from ignorance. I don't understand therefore it will never be understood therefore god did it.
anubis2814 6 months ago
Religion is something separate to spirituality. Belief in god isn,t scientific ,there are no tests or experiments that a 'logical' mind could devise to study him. Scientists don't even know what the universe is made of,or the sun.A dentist once told me the gargling of hot salty water has exactly the same effect as a mouthwash which people buy and the process of how it works is unknown.
dlkdyscot 6 months ago
@dlkdyscot So because you don't know something you automatically fill it in with god? That's called a "god of the gaps" argument. They stuck god in that for thunder as well. We actually know quite well why it works, mouthwash is just more pleasant to use, and there are other properties are added to it. Your dentist probably was unaware. Its a process called osmosis. When an isotonic(highly concentrated) solution is put in your mouth, the bacterial membrane leaks water killing it.

On your linking destitution with the lack of innovation I can see your point, I'm not sure I agree. If you compare, say, Sweden with Africa and you can see a more inhospitable climate producing a Nobel (and many subsequent laureates) while the whole continent of Sub-Saharan Africa producing only two winners outside of South Africa - and these were for the Peace Prize?
I don't know the answer obviously, but it seems more complex at least....

EVERY human has equal rights (and responsibilities) regardless of race etc.
The question is, "why did the Tasmanian Aborigines become less specialized prior to Western invasion?"
WRT GG&S this is not relevant to that question as it is an argument of the effects after Western invasion
GS&S supports your assertion that people with too little time do not innovate - he claims Arab&W'ern cultures had it easy with their crops and animals which enabled innovation. But doesn't address the why?
GenericGenerator 10 months ago
@GenericGenerator Did you read my other response about trade? New ideas are needed. Mind you When comparing Sweden with Africa that's two different animals. The European invasion pretty much shattered what little infrastructure some areas had. Once Europeans left there was a massive power vacuum, causing terrible wars and poverty. Without infrastructure you can do much. Physical Infrastructure (roads, plumbing etc) and mental infrastructure (education, libraries) make the difference.
anubis2814 10 months ago
I agree. My original point was about the Tasmanian Aborigines who moved from specific function tools to general ones - odd compared to other societies. This was before the European invasion so while I agree with your comment it doesn't apply to this specific circumstance. The question is "why did they"?
One wonders where Sub-Saharan Africa would be if the world made the same investment they made in Europe and Japan after WWII? Doubt we would have the same issues as we do today...
GenericGenerator 10 months ago
The Tasmanian Aboriginals were certainly inhumanely treated.
Oddly though, they actually regressed over time including a move to more simple/broader technologies and at one point they stopped eating fish entirely. Man theories including they didn't need the same level of specialization which required more effort to produce, that their pop size was small and inbreeding had an impact and so on. But there is/was no bamboo there or any easy answer.

In an interview with Hemut, The Friendly Atheist, Ray said that he used the banana gig as a comedy routine for live audiences and that it was intended to be funny. His (evangelical xtian) audiences always found it funny and he said (in hindsight) that it was a mistake to release it in video form. Christian comedy is very simple-minded and "safe" for an audience that does not want to question anything.

Why innovation is counter-intuitive... I've run into this one at work constantly. When faced with a task, mental or physical, the rational thing to do is to spend a few minutes working out the most efficient way to get it done. Those few minutes spent "doing nothing" would pay dividends when you eventually tackle the job. But the boss is always right there, yelling "Just get on with it!" because being seen to be working hard is so important that working smart doesn't get a look in.

@ElShadaiLives scandals and scams occur though out the world and in all fields of science because science is done by humans, but the peer review process tends to catch those scams easier than most, because if it can't be replicated using the exact same conditions, then its not true, meaning that you would be able to repeat the same study if you decided the effort was worth it to you. There is nothing a scientist like more than to find something wrong and rip a fellow scientist apart.

@ElShadaiLives Of course when it comes to artifacts, there are a limited number of these so while they cannot replicate the artifacts themselves they can repeat the tests on the artifacts.

Many reasons why a treatment is rejected is because they used bad or unethical testing procedures or claims.

@ElShadaiLives NM I found him and looking at both sides of the argument now.

@ElShadaiLives According to articles I'm reading this guy has a forum and blocks all negative comments from his site. Anecdotal evidence is very convincing to a lay person sadly. There are also several accounts where people ended up dying in his care why they could have been easily treated and caught early. These are common in fake medicine. He also claims that cancer is caused by yeasts which is the dumbest thing I have ever heard, we know how it works, which is why we know its so hard

@ElShadaiLives As state prior anecdotal evidence is very powerful. Cancer can go into remission or just hiding, but she will never be cancer free unless she is one of those lucky rare people called outliers. I'm sure she believes it is effective and that is the power of the placebo effect There are respected scientists who are looking into natural prevention, using large study populations and double blind testing. C0nc0rdance here on youtube finally killed any faith I have in alternatives

@ElShadaiLives If you are going to start spamming all of my videos I may have to block you. I did cite my sources by a well established and noted anthropologist. Science is a tool to understand reality, it is not a religion. I already agreed with you that I have a religion by dictionary com's definition but not one by Websters definition.

@ElShadaiLives When you were repeating an argument from a previous video instead of coming up with a different argument or critique on that particular video it came off as spam. You new arguments are perfectly acceptable for this video.

Oh man. This video has blown my mind. It's almost like I shouldn't hate stupid people. I thank you for the insight.

@ElShadaiLives All the exterminations and whatever else were kind of sad. In that case both parties were idiots. But I was just talking about people who don't even try to learn or prove their believes. One thing if we can work together to better ourselves like how we supposedly learned farming techniques from native tribes. But when people refuse to listen to reason that is when stupidity takes hold. And yeah, Americans are soulless and greedy but... you still love you us.

@ElShadaiLives Every new invention will upset the balance of nature, however it has been pointed out while there is a moore's law for technology, there is also a moore's law of ethics and morality. As bad as it seems to be, people are more socially and environmentally conscious than they ever were thanks to increase in communication. 50 years ago a black man couldn't even eat at the same lunch counter as me. Humanity is going to be a constant race between ethical awareness and technology.

@ElShadaiLives Oh come on dood I'm just trolling on other vids. Your beliefs don't make you stoopid. you're attitude does! People out there read one bible passage and think they know everything. They are stupid. Look at that Ray Comfort guy. And souls: look you have life and personality; not some supernatural thing attached to you. Cool? Really dude trolls just try to get you to think. Don't hate; Chill. Also... quit stalking me.
