all religions belong in the history classroom, taught alongside myths and legends,
it has no place in science,
and i am tired of being asked to respect peoples beliefs ,
i do not respect anyone's beliefs whether it be a pixie, demon or magical tyrant, i respect knowledge not beliefs, you freaky deluded , ignorant nut bags,
hmm so i take it the mockery this video has made of religion offended you? So now you believe that everyone that doesn't worship inanimate objects is immature? If that's the case then you must be a Zealot prepared to Kill in the name of god and smite the evil ones kill the fags oppress the women and have sex with little boys. Well I've a suggestion for you strap TNT to your chest and blow yourself up in the name of religion I'm sure some virgins or angels will comfort you for you're good work.
I didn't see a mockery, I saw a 10y.o.s attempt to insult 80% of the worlds population,so he would feel important. Your comment fits perfectly, please explain why you think you can read my mind or know what I do or have done,and the part about virgins and angels shows you have no idea what you 're talking about,think only what your told and follow a crowd. That would make you what you complain about.
@liberationn15 So now only religious people must prove their claim ,and the atheist can make all the false claims they want. I thought EVERYONE had to prove their claim, and that double standards proved whose ideas held up and whose were junk.
Atheism does not make any claims. Theism is a belief systems that makes claims (there is a God, he has a son, he impregnates virgin women, talking snakes exist, the earth is 6000 years old, and so on). Atheism is simply the failure to be convinced by these claims.
@liberationn15 SickXXenD CLAIMED I have certain beliefs most atheist commenting here CLAIM to know what I think, feel, have and have not done and my level of education. Do atheist have to prove their claims or are they some special political class ,like the nazis?
Someone who didn't believe in unicorns once claimed to know what I thought. I guess this means that all people who don't believe in Unicorns are a special political class, just like the nazis. Grow up, you sound like a whiny two-year-old.
@liberationn15 I must assume your comment means atheist are "special" and can't function on the same level as normal people. I will try to remember and not hold them to as high a standard as normal people.
That fact that you feel you have the prerogative to "assume" that from my statement is a testament to your lamentable deductive reasoning abilities and nothing else.
@liberationn15 The fact still remains, in all my dealing with atheist, they demand Christians prove ALL claims no matter how accepted by society in general and by scientist, but CAN'T hold themselves to the same standard. Like it or not this does indicate things in atheists mental abilities and morals.
@daddyg321 Atheism makes no claims about anything, by definition. Your inability to differentiate between a belief system and an absense of a belief system is astounding.
@liberationn15 By law(see the vid I'm sending) and by definition BELIEVING THERE IS NO GOD is a belief system. It is also making a claim but reasoning people know it is impossible to prove something doesn't exist, so we don't ask you to try.
@daddyg321 if no one had invented the concept of god, we would all be atheists. so you are saying that not having a belief system constitutes as a belief system?
@holdenbane You are claiming God was invented not discovered,you can prove your claim ,as required by atheist, right. I'm saying according to most dictionaries and the U.S. supreme court(Torcaso vs Watkins) atheism is a religion. When are you going to stop pushing your religion on others?
@reluctantlydancing So you must agree that atheist who claim that I think or feel a certain way or have a certain type of education must prove their claims. To not do so would indicate that they are "special" and/or not as capable as Christians.
@daddyg321 I think that it's foolish to assume you understand another person's beliefs before they've told you themselves. So yes, if someone claimed that you thought the world was flat, they should have to find some kind of evidence you think this.
@reluctantlydancing This is basically what my last comment said. And please check your comments the last one you sent me I can't find here in the publis section, I wonder why.
In my case, religion turned me off to religion. I had a Dad who needed to pray when he woke up, then again at noon, another session at 6, oh yeah, before every meal, and finally, before he went to bed...
Can you imagine me, a small kid, only wanting to watch Voltron, goin thru this shit?!!!
Oh, and to top it all off, not soon after my Dad was done praying, he was cussin and sinning, and judging everybody and everthing...
but i god is perfect and all knowing wy did he create lucifer if hes all knowing he would have know from before that lucifer was evil. big question??????????
pretty funny. i don't know, i kind of like these centuries old wars. a history without war is pretty boring guys. really. like Switzerland since after Napoleon or Costa Rica after getting rid of their army. both beautiful places, boring histories.
Then God will attack Satan and destroy him for good.....and politicians will go down like a puppet with the strings cut, cause politics are useless without a ventriloquist to control them.
Yeah, religion sucks...even God agrees. In fact, god calls religion "a whore" because it gets into bed with politics. Politics are puppets on strings that are manipulated by the Devil, and religion is there next to politics, like an annoying little whore aggravating the leaders of the world. According to the Bible, politics will soon have enough of religion and they will attack the "whore" and destroy her. Religion is coming to an end, because God is fed up with it.
I guess the people who fall into false sense of security and turn to religion stay happy in there own ways and hey whos gonna stop them. Me personally i prefer to keep my money and stop feeding an invisible voice who is constantly requiring favours. if god is all wise and powerful why does he need empty headed zombies to hand over all there assets i bet the pope is just sitting in his room rolling in all the doe that is being pumped into these stupid ordeals and laughing quite hysterically
In my opinion, religion is a false sense of security, I trust and rely upon myself to make sure that the proper things are taken care of in my life. Im responsible for my actions religious or not.
Its not even about religion. If people base there lives on religion. So what? That only becomes a problem when they decide to kill people because they think it is right. This is why I see Rastafar I a good MOVEMENT less of a religion. Besides I&i found rastafar I by myself while I was going through personal issues. But bashing a religion is just as bad as what I said up above about the problems. When will all of mankind realise unity is more important?
im not a religios man i wont belive in god but im tolerant i respect the desitions of other people and i belive in the freedom to decide every one its free to belive in everiting what they want im not agree whit the religions but i respect their desition the are free to belive in god like you r free to not belive in god
I'm not religious, but I would not ridicule people with what they do with their life. I mean, I believe that there are aliens out there, far far away, even if I haven't seen one.
Thanks for posting this video. It's Just the touch of sanity I needed on this so called "Holy Weekend" - when just about everyone I know Is celebrating Passover and Easter.
James 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Im not even religious... and even I find your arrogant, unsubstantiated *faith* to be bigoted and offensive. Empiricism and logic are not the stuff of anti-theists... otherwise you'd might actually be *open-minded*
Oh I'm sorry! I was talking about the big bang, and most evolutionists do believe in that.
You know JCMac777, you should go back and read your comment you posted. You're a really mean guy. But if it makes you feel good being arrogant, go ahead.
I'm a few decades behind in science??? Who is to say in a few decades, everything they believe today will be different? And we'll die off 100s of trilions of years? thats brilliant and safe to say. Do you even realize how long one trillion years is?
Hmmm nope, people with intelligence say the universe will "die" 100s of trillions of years from now from the lack of heat because of the laws of thermodynamics.
You are obvious a few decades behind in science as the expansion of the universe is speeding up, not slowing down. So it will not collapse in on it self again unless either all the observations are wrong, or some currently unknown force reacts to change it.
Actually learn about the subject before speaking on it.
Evolutionists believe that at one time, the whole universe was smaller than the size of a period. And then it just went "boom" and everything we say today is from this small period size of energy. Wow. Genius!
Eventually, the universe will go back to the size of a period and start all over. This happens about every 80-100 billion years. This must be true.
It's a theory based on scientific observation, and it's far more believable that a supernatural being who feeds on our adoration and gets royally pissed every time one of us masturbates. Also, the universe will only contract if it contains sufficient mass. If not, it will continue to expand and cool and that will be that.
Finally, since I don't have a video camera, let me take this opportunity to join the Blasphemy Challenge and say that I categorically deny the existence of the holy spirit.
I'd rather believe something beyond our inteligence created everything instead of everything happening on its own. Did the human brain just come to be?
If by "just come to be" you mean "evolved", then yes. But now that we've pretty much eliminated the threat of predators, natural selection is no longer in play. Check out the movie "Idiocracy" for a frightening look at our possible future. Or just read the synopsis on Wikipedia.
Religion is a mouthpiece for Wicked, evil and selfish people to get their way into peoples mind and pockets and commit the most horrendous crimes in its name. Religion is for The Weak MIND and we should live MINUS it....America Was built from people escaping religion and now look what it has become. Obama used the word NON believers....for the first time...this is a start...soon NON believers will be called THINKERS and Believers as Delusioned..The HUMAN RACE is under threat from RELIGION
The whole thing was saracasm and I think what I said is what you do is think `with your head in the sand`.- not looking around you. EG the design of the human body, DNA, the genetic code, to beliee there is no desing brought about by intelligence in these things is in fact `putting your head in the sand`. and ignoring the true meaning of things around you.
Do you need to feel superior to others? do you need to look down on people? Do you need to feel you are part of a small minority of people who think? Do you need to think? After all things are so why question why? Or maybe nothing exists. Why not become an atheist and put your head in the sand.
And to basingstokeborn, your comment is confusing to the point of not making any sense. Your last sentence seems to say that atheists don't think, but your earlier sentences correctly say that we do think. Which point of view were you trying to get across? Are you defending not thinking?
Christianity: The believe that some cosmic Jewish zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your "soul" that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.
this video explains EXACTLY how i feel about religion hahaha. I still dont understand how people can "follow" something they dont even know exists. I dont get it. but whatever, its not for me, but christians will be crazy about god for forever. I am so over it. Jesus Camp was a ridiculous movie and gave me even more reason to NOT beleive in the BULLshit.
Why doesn't every one quit saying the word "religion". For me, it has nothing to do with "religion". Its realizing that our universe didn't come from nothing, because that is impossible, and finding out what is out there. If anyone thinks that makes me psycho or irrational, then fine. I follow Jesus, and not because everyone else does, because you'll be surprised to find not a whole lot actually truly follow him.
something coming from nothing isn't impossible, only beyond our knowledge. it could be impossible; but then it could also be possible, but impossible for us to understand; or possible but we as a species haven't discovered how yet, and possibly never will! :p but you're right, it need not be anything to do with religion. however some people believe that religion holds the answers to existence and creation. that is their choice, in the same way that following jesus is your choice.
You said they aren't fact the theories suggesting that a fact is better then a theory. And yes, not theory is set in stone. They can never be. The theory of evolution is the most supported fact in all of the sciences.
i never said that a fact is better than a theory, only that a theory is not a fact. a theory is a hypothesis based on a testable model. the theory of evolution is the most logical explanation for a number of observable changes in various natural proxies. theories have facts integrated into them, but that does not make them factual.
they are a concept or idea. theories are based on facts to provide a logical explanation for trends seen in observable and measurable phenomena. however they are based on limited human knowledge, and so there is always the possibility that something as yet undiscovered or suggested could be responsible for said trends.
Isn't that vacuous statement. The fact that a theory isn't closed off does account that there can always be new light on the subject. However human do not need absolute knowledge to to seek truth. Any truth beyond us is be default in scope is a none issue and does not need time dwelled upon it.
then why do people dedicate their lives to gain more and more knowledge? universities have existed for centuries attempting to better the knowledge of the human species. and because there can always be "new light" on all subjects, universities will continue to exist. just because it isn't fact doesn't mean it isn't the truth. it just makes no sense arguing over things if nothing is set in stone. i try to remain open to all possible avenues! :P
That all well in good. But not all avenues are possible. There has to be a cut off point of plausibility. For the diversity of life the answer is clearly explained through evolution. The chances of it being wrong are so small that to consider it other then truth is just silly.
this is the problem. the chances of it being wrong and that an alternative THAT WE KNOW OF being correct are small. obviously not all avenues are possible (which is why i said "open to all possible avenues"), but there may be some avenues that we have not even considered that could be responsible. you are effectively repeating what i'm saying minus a few key words. i never said it wasn't truth (as far as we know, it is), i said it isn't technically fact. truth is subjective, fact is objective.
It all comes down to survival.. We need to survive! To survive, we need facts.. fire is hot, ice is cold.. the sun is bright and so forth.. Stating that the fire is cold.. or if a fire is lit on a Tuesday we'll all die.. might be enough to tilt an entire species off it's survival track and .. doom.. or not.. perhaps you need more false statements.. maybe it has no effect what so ever.. but I find religion to be wrong enough to be a serious threat to our survival.. but why should I care right?
if you find religion to be a "serious threat to our survival" then don't follow a religion. i'm not religious, but i don't see it as a 'threat' in any way, shape or form. i'm more than happy to discuss philosophies with religious people. i find them interesting, and they - generally - return the favour. it is indeed the majority of atheists who argue their beliefs rather than discussing them. you are entitled to your own choices, that is the beauty of life and i'm not arguing that.
What about when it comes to governing? Is religion than not a threat? Have you looked around recently? The US had a highly religious president for 8 years.. how did that work out? :) Afghanistan is about to set laws that don't really favor women.. and runs all the way down the middle eastern ideology.. How about Hindus? How do they treat women? All I'm saying is perhaps religion and lack of facts and evidence should not be in control when it comes to governing.. that's all ;)
you're right, religion should not have a place in politics, esppecially in a world where the proportion of society not affiliated with a religion is growing. the united states of america was founded by a group of people who were atheists on the most part and declared that religion will have no part in the running of their government. its safe to say that statement has been defiled today. i wouldn't say that it was the religion of the president that was the problem, it was how he used this fact
to manipulate the majority of his public into 'doing his bidding'. it would not surprise me if george w bush was not religious at all, but used the followers of one religion (christianity) as a weapon against another (islam) to secure more unnecessary resources for america. the afghanistani government was implemented by the usa and is not about to set any "new laws" other than raising taxes based on land ownership and farming.
I'll agree, there is a chance that W wasn't religious at all. But wouldn't such cunning require somewhat of intelligence to back it up? He doesn't seem like a whole human being.. the entire family tree seems a bit out of place.. so one wonders, is he an evil genius or a retarded cowboy with a father complex (see religion :) )?
i agree that it would require a degree of intelligence to engineer mass manipulation in that fashion, but it doesn't necessarily have to be in the bush family tree. to be honest, i think that all politicians seem a bit out of place. especially when you consider that true democracy doesn't exist anywhere, and hasn't for a number of centuries. the political system of all countries is one of the most fraudulent human constructs, yet people still believe that it is required to stay the same.
Yes, it does seem we're "some" quite afraid when to comes to change (older people).. since usually it means for the worse.. old political tactics. But it seems to be inevitable to change. The world has grown and changed yet our political and survival systems haven't really changed.. But what annoys me the most is exactly that nothing ever changes, people are just content having "information" fed to them without ever considering the source.. where does this information come from? .. Oh well.
exactly! skepticism is a gift! it pays dividends asking more about sources of information if we are particularly interested in them; especially if said information seems incorrect. what are these "survival" systems that you mentioned? political systems shouldn't really have existed to begin with. governing others can never be civilised no matter which way you slice it. i'm surprised at just how little our world has changed, despite the growing need for it to.
Survival is actually quite simple.. food + water + shelter from the elements.. that's it. When you scrape of the shit we don't need, honestly don't need to survive, that's left behind. You need food and water to survive.. and it does help if one has sex on a regular basis, like we're programmed to do. But I do not see skepticism as a gift but more of a survival tool. We no longer are a part of a system that requires us intelligence to survive. Politics is an ancient tool which is quite outdated.
i was just questioning what you meant by "survival system". i know what you mean. politics, money, religion: amongst other things all are unnecessary. some are even dangerous for us as a species and the planet as a global ecosystem. politics should never have been a tool in the first place. it focuses on producing workers and a military force like a production line under the guise of something that benefits society as a whole. from birth the public is fed lies and they can't help but believe it.
a theory is "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world" or "a set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of phenomena". a scientific theory is understood to be a testable model capable of predicting future occurrences or observations and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise verified through empirical observation. basically the term theory encompasses what would commonly be called a hypothesis and not a fact.
I've read your argument with CapnOrdinary and you keep wanting to interchange definitions of fact, theory, hypothesis, and law and you're incorrect in doing that. Evolution, populations of organisms changing over time, is a fact. It is observable. The process by which evolution happens, the theory of evolution, is supported by the factual evidence and experimental data thus far. Theories are allowed to be tweaked as new data comes in. That's how science advances. You know this stuff!
the evidence supporting the theory of evolution is not factual as yet, it is theoretical, based on fossils. speciation has still not been directly observed as the experiments are still ongoing, only indirectly observed through fossils and closely linked - but still separate - species. once the experiments provide the conclusive evidence (which they will), then it can be called fact. i have no doubt that evolution is correct, only that it can't be literally called fact as yet.
You appear to have a very limited understanding of evolution. First of all, evidence for evolution isn't just a couple dusty bones. Dna evidence is providing the most exciting evidence. Check out human chromosome 2. Research endrogenous retroviruses. Second, evolution is clearly observed and documented. Just because you're apparently unaware of it doesn't mean it isn't so. Microbes evolve all the time, this is the bases of our careful distribution and use of antibiotics. Learn more.
i've studied evolution as part of a degree in environmental management and i've seen that mitochondrial dna evidence is not yet conclusive. it is exciting and very original, but not totally proven yet (though i'm sure it will be!). microbes MUTATE all the time, but evolution isn't all about mutation. mutation is a random process. evolution is survival of particular mutations based on environmental conditions, an organisation of random events over time.
sorry, that should say "...based on a change in environmental conditions producing new species..."
i'm not trying to disprove evolution at all! i'm merely stating that it is still a theory and not yet strictly fact, but it very soon will be! i'd like to know where you think i stand on the subject, because i can see from you're words that you're judging me incorrectly! i'm a non-religious scientist with degrees in physical geography and environmental management/earth observation.
I'm not trying to discredit your education. I'm sure you're quite brilliant in your fields of study. It just seems odd when you speak like a selectively educated creationist. I think its safe to deem evolution a fact due to the overwhelming amount of overwhelming evidence. If something is 98% likely to be true, I'm alright with considering it to, in fact, be true until something comes up that severely disturbs the balance of probability.
i'm just very open-minded about things. i accept many ideas, including evolution, but i don't shut off the possibility (no matter how miniscule) that there is an alternative explanation. humans as a species have an incredibly narrow spectrum of knowledge. anything outside of that spectrum is totally inconceivable until it is revealed or theorised (normally by accident). even if we believe that something is 98% likely to be true, that number is insignificant if the actual truth is not considered
Gravity is a still theory. So we shouldn't go with that. Surgery are based on just theories of biology. We shouldn't trust those. Toilets are working based around theories. The car works based around half a dozen theories. So the car shouldn't work. Cause there theories, not facts. Telescopes, just theories of optics. Not facts. MRI just electrodyamic theories. Refrigeration not a fact, based on a theory. Maybe you should use wiki and look up 'Scientific Theory'.
actually i used the internet to find my definitions of theory, including wikipedia. and just because they are only theories doesn't mean that they aren't accepted. i have accepted the evolutionary theory, which i stated below, as well as all of those that you just stated. most theories are accepted without ever becoming fact, i am not debating that; just suggesting the possibility that an alternative (that we may not have even contemplated) COULD be responsible, but for now we accept theories.
at what point have i said anything remotely similar to that? i even explained that i have accepted "comprehensive explanations that have lots of facts and empirical observations", but i am also open to the possibility that there is a tiny chance that these explanations are wrong because human knowledge is potentially extremely limited. which "one lone fact" are you suggesting anyway?
religion is metaphorical. if people take it seriously, they get offended easily, prejudiced away from logical thought and develop a superiority complex over "non-believers". religion is only a stupid idea when people take it literally and try to convert people who already have their own belief system. the other end of the spectrum is the same, with people who don't believe in a god or gods calling religious people delusional or stupid. everybody is entitled to believe whatever they want.
I agree that everyone has the right to believe what they want but if it ended there we would not have the problems we do...Like religion in the classroom, religious pseudo-science being taught as real science, our youth is being taught science is bad, evolution is a lie, and so on...
So, I disagree with your view that people who see what religion is doing to our society and real science should just be quiet. Because everyone is entitled to believe what they want.
i'm not really sure what you're disagreeing with there! people can believe what they want, but schools should only teach things that have evidence showing that they are true, otherwise it is technically brainwashing. and even evolution is only a theory. alfred russell wallace and charles darwin knew this when evolution was first suggested. scientific theories are not fact until declared as such. other theories (NOT YET DECLARED AS FACT) include: the big bang, relativity, plate tectonics...
Theories never become facts. A scientific theory is an explanation for a set of fact, based on observations, and supported by all available lines of evidence. The theory of gravity does not state that things fall down, but does state the mathematical formula by which they do so.
Likewise, the theory of evolution does not state that things evolve, but proposes a mechanism by which they do so.
That living things evolve is a fact. As is universal common descent.
the fact that things evolve is NOT a fact. it is the most logical explanation for the evidence presented (i.e. "missing-link" fossils). as all other theories provide the most logical explanations to measurable observations. the theory of gravity states that all matter has it's own gravitational pull that increases with relative chemical density; and is the most logical explanation for the orbserved orbits of suns and their satellites.
Sorry, but the combination of genetic, fossil, and observational evidence means that evolution is a fact. The theory of evolution may not accurately describe how and why, although this is highly unlikely, but living things undeniably do evolve.
please do not get offended, i'm merely stating that despite the evidence, evolution is still only a theory, otherwise it would be called the law of evolution. i'm with you, i feel that there are no other logical explanations for the creation of new species and explosive diversity on this planet. i feel that it should be a law, but it can't be stated as such until it can be shown to occur (which incidentally is being attempted in an experiment that has been ongoing for the past 45years in the uk)
Sorry, but you're simply wrong. Evolution is not "only" a theory, there is no higher classification than theory. I would like more specifics on what this experiment you talk about is. We have numerous examples of speciation events in and out of the lab, you can look it up in any decent library or you could simply google "speciation event".
You might also want to follow the links in the description box of my latest video, it's well worth your time, I promise.
how would you define a law if there is no higher classification than theory? it is still possible for a theory to be proven incorrect. einstein's original theory of relativity was disproven on many occasions, which is why it is now split into two: special relativity and general relativity. theories are simply the most logical explanation as they can still be disproved. the experiment is a cooperative effort between the universities of nottingham, southampton and durham and the national trust...
following the adaption and speciation of mammals in national parks as ecosystems drift in the uk showing evolution across decades if not centuries. nothing has been released yet as data is still being collected from 12-15 reserves across the length of britain that are affected by ecosystem drift as a result of climate change. there is no set publication date as the timescale required to show the trends is not yet known.
Check out myxo(DOT)css(DOT)msu(DOT)edu(SLASH)ecoli
A law is considered an invariable, universal constant of the physical world, but may be disproven or amended (Newton's law of gravity was incomplete, for instance). A theory may contain a number of laws, which together form the theory. Laws are components of theories, not a higher rank on the certainty scale.
but your comment had a point. it was to point out that your comment didnt have a point. thus concluding that your comment's point was to point out that it was pointless.
This video rules and is exactly how I feel about religion. I want to post this on Facebook but I'm afraid I'll piss off my Christian family members.

@liberationn15 By law(see the vid I'm sending) and by definition BELIEVING THERE IS NO GOD is a belief system. It is also making a claim but reasoning people know it is impossible to prove something doesn't exist, so we don't ask you to try.

@daddyg321 if no one had invented the concept of god, we would all be atheists. so you are saying that not having a belief system constitutes as a belief system?

@holdenbane You are claiming God was invented not discovered,you can prove your claim ,as required by atheist, right. I'm saying according to most dictionaries and the U.S. supreme court(Torcaso vs Watkins) atheism is a religion. When are you going to stop pushing your religion on others?

@daddyg321 The burden of proof is on those making a "positive" (That something IS) claim. (As opposed to "negative" claims- that something ISN'T).
You want there IS a God, you have a prove it.
You want to say there ARE Unicorns, you have to prove it.
You want to say that Moon IS made cheese, you have to prove it.

@reluctantlydancing So you must agree that atheist who claim that I think or feel a certain way or have a certain type of education must prove their claims. To not do so would indicate that they are "special" and/or not as capable as Christians.

@daddyg321 I think that it's foolish to assume you understand another person's beliefs before they've told you themselves. So yes, if someone claimed that you thought the world was flat, they should have to find some kind of evidence you think this.

You are obvious a few decades behind in science as the expansion of the universe is speeding up, not slowing down. So it will not collapse in on it self again unless either all the observations are wrong, or some currently unknown force reacts to change it.
Actually learn about the subject before speaking on it.

Eventually, the universe will go back to the size of a period and start all over. This happens about every 80-100 billion years. This must be true.

It's a theory based on scientific observation, and it's far more believable that a supernatural being who feeds on our adoration and gets royally pissed every time one of us masturbates.

Why doesn't every one quit saying the word "religion". For me, it has nothing to do with "religion".

I follow Jesus, and not because everyone else does, because you'll be surprised to find not a whole lot actually truly follow him.

something coming from nothing isn't impossible, only beyond our knowledge. it could be impossible; but then it could also be possible, but impossible for us to understand; or possible but we as a species haven't discovered how yet, and possibly never will! :p but you're right, it need not be anything to do with religion. however some people believe that religion holds the answers to existence and creation. that is their choice, in the same way that following jesus is your choice.

You said they aren't fact the theories suggesting that a fact is better then a theory. And yes, not theory is set in stone. They can never be. The theory of evolution is the most supported fact in all of the sciences.
misterwigggles 3 years ago
i never said that a fact is better than a theory, only that a theory is not a fact. a theory is a hypothesis based on a testable model. the theory of evolution is the most logical explanation for a number of observable changes in various natural proxies. theories have facts integrated into them, but that does not make them factual.
bigjesse1985 3 years ago
If they aren't factual then what the point of them?
How can come something contain facts, be used to predict other facts, explains facts not be factual?
misterwigggles 3 years ago
they are a concept or idea. theories are based on facts to provide a logical explanation for trends seen in observable and measurable phenomena. however they are based on limited human knowledge, and so there is always the possibility that something as yet undiscovered or suggested could be responsible for said trends.
bigjesse1985 3 years ago
Isn't that vacuous statement. The fact that a theory isn't closed off does account that there can always be new light on the subject. However human do not need absolute knowledge to to seek truth. Any truth beyond us is be default in scope is a none issue and does not need time dwelled upon it.
misterwigggles 3 years ago
then why do people dedicate their lives to gain more and more knowledge? universities have existed for centuries attempting to better the knowledge of the human species. and because there can always be "new light" on all subjects, universities will continue to exist. just because it isn't fact doesn't mean it isn't the truth. it just makes no sense arguing over things if nothing is set in stone. i try to remain open to all possible avenues! :P
bigjesse1985 3 years ago
That all well in good. But not all avenues are possible. There has to be a cut off point of plausibility. For the diversity of life the answer is clearly explained through evolution. The chances of it being wrong are so small that to consider it other then truth is just silly.
misterwigggles 3 years ago
this is the problem. the chances of it being wrong and that an alternative THAT WE KNOW OF being correct are small. obviously not all avenues are possible (which is why i said "open to all possible avenues"), but there may be some avenues that we have not even considered that could be responsible. you are effectively repeating what i'm saying minus a few key words. i never said it wasn't truth (as far as we know, it is), i said it isn't technically fact. truth is subjective, fact is objective.

It all comes down to survival.. We need to survive! To survive, we need facts.. fire is hot, ice is cold.. the sun is bright and so forth.. Stating that the fire is cold.. or if a fire is lit on a Tuesday we'll all die.. might be enough to tilt an entire species off it's survival track and .. doom.. or not.. perhaps you need more false statements.. maybe it has no effect what so ever.. but I find religion to be wrong enough to be a serious threat to our survival.. but why should I care right?

if you find religion to be a "serious threat to our survival" then don't follow a religion. i'm not religious, but i don't see it as a 'threat' in any way, shape or form. i'm more than happy to discuss philosophies with religious people. i find them interesting, and they - generally - return the favour. it is indeed the majority of atheists who argue their beliefs rather than discussing them. you are entitled to your own choices, that is the beauty of life and i'm not arguing that.

you're right, religion should not have a place in politics, esppecially in a world where the proportion of society not affiliated with a religion is growing. the united states of america was founded by a group of people who were atheists on the most part and declared that religion will have no part in the running of their government. its safe to say that statement has been defiled today. i wouldn't say that it was the religion of the president that was the problem, it was how he used this fact
bigjesse1985 2 years ago
to manipulate the majority of his public into 'doing his bidding'. it would not surprise me if george w bush was not religious at all, but used the followers of one religion (christianity) as a weapon against another (islam) to secure more unnecessary resources for america. the afghanistani government was implemented by the usa and is not about to set any "new laws" other than raising taxes based on land ownership and farming.

i agree that it would require a degree of intelligence to engineer mass manipulation in that fashion, but it doesn't necessarily have to be in the bush family tree. to be honest, i think that all politicians seem a bit out of place. especially when you consider that true democracy doesn't exist anywhere, and hasn't for a number of centuries. the political system of all countries is one of the most fraudulent human constructs, yet people still believe that it is required to stay the same.
bigjesse1985 2 years ago
Yes, it does seem we're "some" quite afraid when to comes to change (older people).. since usually it means for the worse.. old political tactics. But it seems to be inevitable to change. The world has grown and changed yet our political and survival systems haven't really changed.. But what annoys me the most is exactly that nothing ever changes, people are just content having "information" fed to them without ever considering the source.. where does this information come from? .. Oh well.
afroschlan 2 years ago
exactly! skepticism is a gift! it pays dividends asking more about sources of information if we are particularly interested in them; especially if said information seems incorrect. what are these "survival" systems that you mentioned? political systems shouldn't really have existed to begin with. governing others can never be civilised no matter which way you slice it. i'm surprised at just how little our world has changed, despite the growing need for it to.
bigjesse1985 2 years ago
Survival is actually quite simple.. food + water + shelter from the elements.. that's it. When you scrape of the shit we don't need, honestly don't need to survive, that's left behind. You need food and water to survive.. and it does help if one has sex on a regular basis, like we're programmed to do. But I do not see skepticism as a gift but more of a survival tool. We no longer are a part of a system that requires us intelligence to survive. Politics is an ancient tool which is quite outdated.
afroschlan 2 years ago
i was just questioning what you meant by "survival system". i know what you mean. politics, money, religion: amongst other things all are unnecessary. some are even dangerous for us as a species and the planet as a global ecosystem. politics should never have been a tool in the first place. it focuses on producing workers and a military force like a production line under the guise of something that benefits society as a whole. from birth the public is fed lies and they can't help but believe it.

a theory is "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world" or "a set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of phenomena". a scientific theory is understood to be a testable model capable of predicting future occurrences or observations and capable of being tested through experiment or otherwise verified through empirical observation. basically the term theory encompasses what would commonly be called a hypothesis and not a fact.
bigjesse1985 3 years ago
I've read your argument with CapnOrdinary and you keep wanting to interchange definitions of fact, theory, hypothesis, and law and you're incorrect in doing that. Evolution, populations of organisms changing over time, is a fact. It is observable. The process by which evolution happens, the theory of evolution, is supported by the factual evidence and experimental data thus far. Theories are allowed to be tweaked as new data comes in. That's how science advances. You know this stuff!
Omega5001x 3 years ago
the evidence supporting the theory of evolution is not factual as yet, it is theoretical, based on fossils. speciation has still not been directly observed as the experiments are still ongoing, only indirectly observed through fossils and closely linked - but still separate - species. once the experiments provide the conclusive evidence (which they will), then it can be called fact. i have no doubt that evolution is correct, only that it can't be literally called fact as yet.
bigjesse1985 3 years ago
You appear to have a very limited understanding of evolution. First of all, evidence for evolution isn't just a couple dusty bones. Dna evidence is providing the most exciting evidence. Check out human chromosome 2. Research endrogenous retroviruses. Second, evolution is clearly observed and documented. Just because you're apparently unaware of it doesn't mean it isn't so. Microbes evolve all the time, this is the bases of our careful distribution and use of antibiotics. Learn more.
Omega5001x 3 years ago
i've studied evolution as part of a degree in environmental management and i've seen that mitochondrial dna evidence is not yet conclusive. it is exciting and very original, but not totally proven yet (though i'm sure it will be!). microbes MUTATE all the time, but evolution isn't all about mutation. mutation is a random process. evolution is survival of particular mutations based on environmental conditions, an organisation of random events over time.
bigjesse1985 3 years ago
sorry, that should say "...based on a change in environmental conditions producing new species..."
i'm not trying to disprove evolution at all! i'm merely stating that it is still a theory and not yet strictly fact, but it very soon will be! i'd like to know where you think i stand on the subject, because i can see from you're words that you're judging me incorrectly! i'm a non-religious scientist with degrees in physical geography and environmental management/earth observation.
bigjesse1985 3 years ago
I'm not trying to discredit your education. I'm sure you're quite brilliant in your fields of study. It just seems odd when you speak like a selectively educated creationist. I think its safe to deem evolution a fact due to the overwhelming amount of overwhelming evidence. If something is 98% likely to be true, I'm alright with considering it to, in fact, be true until something comes up that severely disturbs the balance of probability.
Omega5001x 3 years ago
i'm just very open-minded about things. i accept many ideas, including evolution, but i don't shut off the possibility (no matter how miniscule) that there is an alternative explanation. humans as a species have an incredibly narrow spectrum of knowledge. anything outside of that spectrum is totally inconceivable until it is revealed or theorised (normally by accident). even if we believe that something is 98% likely to be true, that number is insignificant if the actual truth is not considered

I agree that everyone has the right to believe what they want but if it ended there we would not have the problems we do...Like religion in the classroom, religious pseudo-science being taught as real science, our youth is being taught science is bad, evolution is a lie, and so on...
So, I disagree with your view that people who see what religion is doing to our society and real science should just be quiet. Because everyone is entitled to believe what they want.
SkyDaddy7 3 years ago
i'm not really sure what you're disagreeing with there! people can believe what they want, but schools should only teach things that have evidence showing that they are true, otherwise it is technically brainwashing. and even evolution is only a theory. alfred russell wallace and charles darwin knew this when evolution was first suggested. scientific theories are not fact until declared as such. other theories (NOT YET DECLARED AS FACT) include: the big bang, relativity, plate tectonics...
bigjesse1985 3 years ago
Theories never become facts. A scientific theory is an explanation for a set of fact, based on observations, and supported by all available lines of evidence. The theory of gravity does not state that things fall down, but does state the mathematical formula by which they do so.
Likewise, the theory of evolution does not state that things evolve, but proposes a mechanism by which they do so.
That living things evolve is a fact. As is universal common descent.

the fact that things evolve is NOT a fact. it is the most logical explanation for the evidence presented (i.e. "missing-link" fossils). as all other theories provide the most logical explanations to measurable observations. the theory of gravity states that all matter has it's own gravitational pull that increases with relative chemical density; and is the most logical explanation for the orbserved orbits of suns and their satellites.

Sorry, but the combination of genetic, fossil, and observational evidence means that evolution is a fact. The theory of evolution may not accurately describe how and why, although this is highly unlikely, but living things undeniably do evolve.

please do not get offended, i'm merely stating that despite the evidence, evolution is still only a theory, otherwise it would be called the law of evolution. i'm with you, i feel that there are no other logical explanations for the creation of new species and explosive diversity on this planet. i feel that it should be a law, but it can't be stated as such until it can be shown to occur (which incidentally is being attempted in an experiment that has been ongoing for the past 45years in the uk)

Sorry, but you're simply wrong. Evolution is not "only" a theory, there is no higher classification than theory. I would like more specifics on what this experiment you talk about is. We have numerous examples of speciation events in and out of the lab, you can look it up in any decent library or you could simply google "speciation event".
You might also want to follow the links in the description box of my latest video, it's well worth your time, I promise.

how would you define a law if there is no higher classification than theory? it is still possible for a theory to be proven incorrect. einstein's original theory of relativity was disproven on many occasions, which is why it is now split into two: special relativity and general relativity. theories are simply the most logical explanation as they can still be disproved. the experiment is a cooperative effort between the universities of nottingham, southampton and durham and the national trust...

following the adaption and speciation of mammals in national parks as ecosystems drift in the uk showing evolution across decades if not centuries. nothing has been released yet as data is still being collected from 12-15 reserves across the length of britain that are affected by ecosystem drift as a result of climate change. there is no set publication date as the timescale required to show the trends is not yet known.

A law is considered an invariable, universal constant of the physical world, but may be disproven or amended (Newton's law of gravity was incomplete, for instance). A theory may contain a number of laws, which together form the theory. Laws are components of theories, not a higher rank on the certainty scale.

The comment that you are reading now is completely pointless.

but your comment had a point. it was to point out that your comment didnt have a point. thus concluding that your comment's point was to point out that it was pointless.
