That giant-thing was debunked ages ago. A friend of mine who's religious told me about it, I checked it out, found out it was photoshop-edited. The giant-claim is bull-****!
i agree with RedSquadMike, guys like you disclaimed that the world was round a few hundred years ago, in most of the older history of the world, highly advanced cultures completely believed that giants lived and ruled over people on all the major landmass. Look at your bible son, i dont agree with it as a source of facts, but it goes to show that it was a global understanding. so the only thing you need now is just one skeleton, with we have found, not deformed, so its what? factual?...
- "These guys disclaim theories on human history and giants based on what the "scientists" say. For who are these scientists working for, who's to say THEIR information is true or not."
Those scientists are paid by the New World Order and worshiping Satan. It's all a big conspiracy. The Illuminati just don't want people to know that giants are real, because otherwise... er... otherwise people might believe that giants are real, so they are paying millions to keep that a secret.
There's no such thing as 12-foot human remains with the same skeletal structure as ours. The pictures are all faked. It's physically impossible for such a being to live. The math proves it beyond any doubt. The bones would not be able to support the mass of the muscle, viscera, and flesh covering them. This is why the world's tallest humans ALWAYS wind up on crutches or in a wheelchair by mid-life. And those people are only 8 feet tall.
@TheGinetik There you go! These kinds of fakeries often fail in numerous ways when analyzed from different angles. I suppose a 12-foot plus giant would have a lot of weight on its kidneys, pancreas, and lower digestive tract.
@ChipArgyle The tallest man ever to live was a man named Robert Wadlow at 8'11". He was so ill and infirm as a result of his great height that he couldn't walk without ankle braces, which eventually lead to his death when he got a sceptic infection from the way the braces rubbed on his ankles. Giants would just be the lamest things ever (literally, infact).
You might as well say that proves Jack and the Beanstalk as saying it proves the bible.
Fact is, giant skeletons are proof of... giant skeletons. And nothing more whatsoever. In fact it'd be perfectly possible to find giant skeletons, like gigantopithecus skeletons for example. Or skeletons of ancient humans with acromegaly.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Evidence that there is a god. Can scientists create life from scratch just chemicals??? I think not.
If life began from one... single chaotic act of a cell being created what are the chances it lives... Multiplies.... Mutates...???? (If the number is anything short of improbable)
Then why are we not seeing tons of cells develop around the world?
As far as evolution... think of all the links that are missing, should there be hundred/thousands of almost some creature or another.
@robinenman You must not know anything about the subject you speak of. What do you think viruses mutating involves? Magic? Science is looking at the world and figuring out how things work. If the truth contradicts what people believe about god, oh well. The truth is bigger than us all. And our invented gods.
"Then why are we not seeing tons of cells develop around the world?"
I would just like the point out a fews things like the flu, AIDS/HIV and the many other diseases/illnesses that did start somewhere, that we do see develop around the world, and do multiply, mutate, and live, such as the common flu that spreads every year the same time, that was not that long ago called the swine flu, and actually killed a few people. And there are many more examples of such things.
@robinenman In reffrence to "If life began from one... single chaotic act of a cell being created what are the chances it lives... Multiplies.... Mutates...???? (If the number is anything short of improbable)" is not a valid point the chances are really really small granted but when you take in to acount of the hunred of billon of stars or systems in the universe it then raises that chance to quite booldy high. The condition that lead to this planet's development was luckydeal w/ it
@robinenman Any time I hear someone talking about "missing links", I immediately know I've found another someone who's incapable of groking the time frames involved in the processes of evolution.
@robinenman is it so hard to accept you don't have evidence for your beliefs? really? why? the only thing people like you do is denigrate actual evidence... you just don't want to see it, and i don't know why, well maby i do, at least accept that you don't care wether your beliefs are true or not, meaning that you are willing to discard every evidence you are provided that contradicts them, could you at least accept that?
Yknow.... I wanna know what these guys are actually looking at when they look at the camera when talking to these people. They just stare at the lens? That'd get old real quick.
At least the caller admits he doesn't know anything about evolution. Realizing you don't know is a good start. He needs to stop watching Kent Hovind vids and start learning the scientific method.
Unfortunately he doesn't understand what evidence is.
1 thing u 2 are forgetting is no one likes being proven wrong. I.E. the ufo info, many notable people said it needs to have REAL study with an open mind but this kind of study has not happened. if it is mass hallucination its a matter of national security that should be looked at. if it's something coming into our air space it a matter of national security and should be looked at. no one has REALLY looked cause NASA would have seen it. maybe they have.
I am getting a bit tired of hearing of reference to "Christians" when in fact what is meant is "Evangelical Christians" i.e. a very small, typically USA Fundamentalist Christian denomination. The majority of Christians, Catholic, Church of England, Lutherans, Orthodox, etc. have no problem with accepting evolution.
One does not "believe" in evolution: it is a fact and one either understands it or not. This caller does not understand it: he just very ignorant.
@000dodo000 "Very small, typically USA fundamentalist Christian denomination"
IT may be a small group when you go to other countries, like England and Italy, but in the United States? HALF of the entire U.S. population dont' accept evolution as true.
This is not some fringe group of crazies. This is a LOT of people.
@BigLundi HALF of the entire U.S. population dont' accept evolution as true.
This is not some fringe group of crazies. This is a LOT of people.
I know. Sad isn't it? And worrying. I wonder why they do not take the whole bible literally and believe that the earth is flat and that the sun orbits it. But then maybe some do.
Why can't they reason metaphorically? I just can't understand.
Why don't they read the Iliad and start believing in Zeus and Apollo? Epic poetry is to hard to understand.
@000dodo000 Not only that, but in America, atheists are HATED. We are always viewed as mean spirited bigots that hate god and want to make everyone stop believing. Some might say, "Well why don't you move?" But that doesn't really solve the problem. I personaly find it frightening that one of the world's most powerful countries(because we decided 'hey, let's stockpile nukes') is in part run by these anti-atheist christian fundamentalist born again believers.
@BigLundi I could not agree more with you. Ballistic missiles in the hands of people who believe the earth is flat and think that a book like the bible (a hymn to genocide) is moral!?
To think that the funding fathers, like T. Jefferson were practically atheists ( the Jefferson's Bible).
But what is worst? Believing in god or Berlusconi? As we did over here in Italy' Haahhaha! ;-) All the best to you! May Wotan bless you!
I arrive to a scene where a crime took place. All the evidence supports that a crime had taken place. Too bad nobody was there to observe the crime taking place. Guess I had better give up and move along.
You must have an open mind about other theories... I saw you making fun of ETs or Giants theories and to me, as an atheist, there are many good questions about those subjects... And a lot of "proves" that are no considered cos its no oficial cience. You guys sure know that to be oficial prof, there is a lot of paper and time to get to the end... and for a poit of view. Open your minds a little bit. Evolution exist and its a fact. But maybe is not the "where we came" answer. hugs!
YOUR ON THE EFFING INTERNET! IT TAKES 2 SECONDS TO LOOK UP THAT THEY HAVE ALL BEEN FAKED. This is so fucking old news, and people are still commenting on it? You lazy assholes!!!! Some of these pictures even come from Photoshop contest, some of which still have the titles in the bottom corners. DO SOME RESEARCH before speaking. lmao
An honest question: Why do they bring up the Big Bang when talking about evolution, even if they understand it? I keep hearing it come up. And I want to know why beside the fact that they are scientifically illiterate.
this is my thing ...if these people really believed in their religion then why the hell are they calling in on the show ..its almost like they secretly want to hear an atheists oppinion to convince themselves they still believe in god or a god ..there is a difference between believing and wanting to believe
this caller was hilarious. reminds me of the lunatics that call in on coast to coast spouting nonsense about how some "scientist" found this thing or confirmed this phenomenon that is the most earthshattering discovery in history but he is marginalized because of some conspiracy to silence him. lunatics.
that was a horrible argument by matt about the "conspiracy world" concept. we have found hundreds of things that go against the bible and the majority of people still believe in a flying old man in the sky, so a "conspiracy world" is present right now haha
@2REALTVOFFICIAL1 I can't prove fairies are or aren't real one way or the other. It's still pretty stupid to believe in fairies. If I claim I have fairies in a box, you wouldn't believe me if my only answer was "you can't prove I don't!"
Antagonistic, you say. Like, for instance, calling atheism a religion? That kind of antagonism?
What does atheism have that qualifies it as a religion?
The fact of the matter is there are no structured rules or tenets and there's no universal philosophy behind atheism.
Not believing in the many gods that people have concocted since the dawn of time makes you religious just about as much as not believing in Santa Clause makes you part of some Santa Clausian cult.
Atheists fancy themselves in quoting "You cannot prove a negative" but this is not true. Reason does not dictate that one cannot prove a negative, on the contrary reason says one cannot prove that which does not exist. Negative and non-existence do not mean the same; they are not synonyms. Negative is a real thing, i.e. it has being, and can be proven. Non-existence has no being so it cannot be proven. The burden of proof is an evasive tactic of atheists.
Jeff is wrong when he says atheists do not have to prove that GOD does not exist. "He that asserts must prove". Atheism, in all its glory, is built on the nonsense of self-causation. All arguments in support of atheism are built on the grotesque concept of self-causation.
The universe itself is based on causation, mate. Might want to pick up a couple of textbooks, and try not skipping over the parts that conflict with your worldviews—will help quite a bit with your understanding of the world.
@PaonSol I agree, the universe was caused and it cannot be otherwise, however please state your position on causation. Do you adhere to the cosmological argument? And if you re-read my comment you should understand that I was not referring to the origin of the unverse but to the evasive atheistic tactic of claiming that one cannot prove a negative.
No. It's hard for humans to imagine, but there are more options here than just that. The universe could have always existed, for example. This should not be a new notion to a theist because you apply that very attribute to your God.
As for your "proving a negative" jumble, according to your logic I can make any number of assertions about space monkeys controlling life from the spiritual realm and you would have to accept it simply because it's all "non-existence."
@PaonSol You say "The universe could have always existed, for example." This is the logic of Bertrand Russell and others before you, but this type of logic cannot get started because of an inherent contradiction. The contradiction is self-causation.
@PaonSol "The universe could have always existed, for example." Your statement implies an eternal universe which ultimately leads to the concept of eternal matter, both of which are false. Matter is not eternal because when matter is combined to antimatter both are annihilated and cease to exist. Consequently, the universe cannot be eternal which means it could not have always been in existence.
...yet this very same contradiction doesn't apply to God. It's quite convenient. And no, you're making a lot of assumptions here. The universe can be in an infinite state of expansion and then somehow contract, restarting the process. What we're talking about is absurdly complex and saying stuff like "it is impossible, it must have been created" reeks of bias. The very next line you usually hear after that is "it must have had an intelligent creator," which is yet another logical fallacy.
@PaonSol "The universe can be in an infinite state of expansion and then somehow contract, restarting the process." Your statement implies an infinite regress, but the infinite regress concept, like self-causation, is incongruent with right reasoning. Throught your statements you are speaking in terms of uncertainty. Atheism is suppose to be certain and firm in its claims.
"Atheism is suppose to be certain and firm in its claims." What? I guess I should have expected this; it seems very few people seem to understand what atheism really is. Here, let me explain it once and for all:
Agnostic atheist: No certain knowledge, no belief in god(s). Examples: Reasonable people.
Gnostic atheist: Certain knowledge, no belief in god(s). Examples: TheAmazingAtheist, absolutists, people without formal operational thinking, libertarians.
Agnostic theist: No certain knowledge, belief in god(s). Examples: Reasonable religious people.
Gnostic theist: Certain knowledge, no belief in god(s). Examples: Fundamentalists, absolutists, people without formal operational thinking.
Anyway, you shouldn't assume that I'm part of what I like to call the "idiot camp of YouTube atheists" any more than I will assume you're a member of Al Qaeda. Reasonable people don't make absolutist statements, because—aside from some mathematical truths—there's just no such thing as 100% certainty.
Alright, if that is the case, I stand corrected. I haven't watched his stuff in a long time now because I didn't like his videos, and back then he seemed in every way a belligerent, gnostic atheist.
@PaonSol Speaking of belligerent, perhaps you should look up what "Gnosticism" actually means before using it to label an Atheist. I'm thinking you are a conservative, considering the way you toss around words, trying to be insulting, yet have no clue what they actually mean.
I'm not a conservative, and even if I were I would be further left than anything in America because I'm from Norway. Even Norwegian conservatives are more rational than your left over there; it's not exactly that hard because your political parties suck.
@PaonSol Well, can't argue with that one. Our political parties really do suck. As far as Gnosticism goes, it is a spiritual system, which contradicts atheism. And atheists are not absolutists. We don't believe we know all, just that gods are a cheap answer. Christians are absolutists, believing they know the truth because a book says it.
You are using the word differently than I am. Gnostic is Greek and means knowledge, the word is not only used for the religion. Agnostics have taken the word and made it into a position wherein they say they don't know if they believe in god(s) or not.
However, the other meanings of agnostic and gnostic are as adjectives: I am an agnostic atheist, I don't believe in god(s), but I don't claim certain knowledge that there are no gods.
There are atheists who do, and they are absolutists.
@PaonSol I know that Gnosis is Greek for Knowledge. A lot of atheists are "agnostic atheists." I would have to admit that I am unsure on the matter of the afterlife and such, but I wouldn't call myself agnostic. More like scientific about the matter, though very critical. Not really even comfortable being called an atheist. I see it all as personal views, belief or not. When we make religions out of our views, that's dangerous.
If you're scientific about the matter, you are most definitely agnostic. Science is agnostic about EVERYTHING, which is the way it should be. Theories can change radically, and skeptical minds are necessary for science to work its magic.
@PaonSol I agree, and I would be considered agnostic in the sense that I know I don't know. I just never use the term because I'm very critical on the matter. My science of choice is physics and there are no laws in physics that prevent a soul from existing. There are, however, none that suggest one has to. I grew up spiritual, so as all the beliefs fell through it made me more critical of anything being true at all. Gotta keep an open mind, but belief for the sake of belief is just dumb.
I think you're the one who doesn't know what "gnosticism" means. "A" is latin and means without. Hence, "Agnostic" means without knowledge. "Gnostic" means WITH knowledge, as in, 100% certainty. If you're a gnostic atheist, then you're deluded because—aside from mathematical axioms and such—there's no such thing as 100% certainty, and I don't like absolutists.
As for the causation part, I was responding to your talk about atheists and self-causation. I am merely pointing out a fact often neglected (or rejected) by many religious people: the universe is deterministic and relies entirely on cause and effect. This is not so much an atheist notion as it is a universal law quite readily observable by dropping a pen on the floor.
Unless you want to get pedantic about the definition, ask any neuroscientist if there's such a thing as free will.
@PaonSol Self-causation is worse than the Shakespearean dilemma "To Be or Not To Be". For something to cause its own existence it would have to exist before it existed. It would have to exist to creat itself but before it create itself it does not exist. Self-causation takes stupidity to a higher level. Is this the best that atheism can offer?
"Atheism" is not offering anything, here. Unlike many religious folks, atheists aren't embarrassed to say "I don't know" when you get to the end of the stream of hows and whys. Except more often than not religious folks all of a sudden turn it around and say "ah but I do know: it was God!"
We don't know if the universe was created, but even if it was, it certainly doesn't prove anything about gods. There are several more hoops to jump through before that notion is true.
@PaonSol On the contrary, we do know if the universe was created. There are only four options to the origin of the universe: 1. the universe is eternal; 2. the universe is self-created; 3. the universe is an illusion; 4. the universe was created by a self-existent being called GOD. Can you think of any other options? If not, then which of the above is the most viable explanation for the origin of the universe?
For one thing, those could be true at the same time. There are more options than there's human imagination. Maybe the universe came to be by merging with something else and was something entirely different before. Or maybe some advanced aliens did it. The problem with the latter one is that it runs into the same problem that God does: who created the aliens or God? If the answer is "God / they always existed", why not just skip a step and say the universe always existed?
In the end, the only thing atheism has to offer is the cold, hard truth.
I don't mind if you want to believe in something and that you don't care if what you believe in can be proven, but trying to prove the supernatural by dragging logic into the discussion is like trying to escape a tank of sharks by dragging a generator down into the water: you'll only destroy yourself.
@PaonSol If there is any type of determinism then something must first exist to have that ability, if nothing exist then there cannot be any determinism. That which exist cannot be self-caused but must be caused or un-caused.
@2REALTVOFFICIAL1 If I tell you that there is a pink dragon that tickles old men in the balls with a peacock feather, and you don't believe me, is it then your job to prove that it doesn't exist, or is it my job to prove to you that it does?
If that sounds stupid to you, then you need to go back to school, and actually pay attention.
that can't be, Cthulhu is right here with me, you must be talking about Cthuxi, his little cousin, he was trying to create an interdimensional portal in the mud and got stuck :(
existence is fake... both so called sides are equally baffled by it all... spirituality is about innerspace... science is about outerspace.... not ramblings of technical issues or misprints in old texts... what good are they... I rather be happy than knowledgeable, I would rather be honest then pretend to know something that is way over my head... everyone here knows that part well... is there a god... I don't know... is there a man made version of god ... lol def not!!! that's just silly!
@rrpostalagain wow .. whaa...... lol, Oh i see certain words are triggering the filter off and/or voted against for some reason... and its not the internets ... that doesn't make sense... lol
@jammapcb Honestly I have no idea what we're talking about at this point. Maybe it was a magical comment removing fairy? Maybe I misunderstood. I just hate it when something doesn't work right online, or with tech in general, so many users assume something is wrong with the system and their first thought is never "I may have done something wrong". I see it every day so I'm a bit sensitive about it.
the more that people dig the more they prove that there's no god, at least not in the biblical sense. archaeology proves the Sumerian tablets are closer to the truth. all christens and Muslim's should read...the lost book of enki
@2REALTVOFFICIAL1 If I come to you and say I have a magical watch in my pocket. Your response would not be...."It's my responsibility to prove he is right or wrong." It would be "pull that watch out and show me." "Prove it." Nonbelievers don't make the claim. The burden of proof lies on the party pushing the statement.
@2REALTVOFFICIAL1 People claim there is infact a God,it is imposed on people who dont beleive,thats not fair,there shouldnt be religion in school or the work place.I dont want to listen to gospel music at work,im not religious,i have no problem with what others beleive but i do have a problem with religion being imposed on me.The world is over run by religion when it has not even been proven there is infact a God.its just rediculous,anything else would have to be proven before peole accepted it.
- "Why does the ppl with faith have to prove GOD but Non-belivers don't have to prove GOD is not real?"
Because the burden of proof is on the one(s) making the positive claim.
- "You cant prove GOD eather way u think."
If it's impossible to prove the existence of God, there is no rational reason to believe that such a "God" even exists. It doesn't make sense to believe in something that just as well might not be there.
@TheAtheistExperience I just wanted to say...a very good show always strong arguments! And damn it must be so hard to talk to this people every time its like ramming your head into a wall... I live in the netherland as a athiest most people think like you and me. But if it was the other way around I imagine it must be so hard..
There are some callers that keep calling back, like Mark, Caesar, this guy, etc. I think they're as obsessed with TAE as most of us atheists are with WLC.
haha, they (the callers) get so evasive when confronted with direct questions! You guys should do just one or two episodes where if you ask a direct question, you refuse to advance the conversation until it is answered. The results, I'm sure, would be very amusing :)
@TenTonNuke One day, an ignorant Theist will cause Jeff's brow to become so furrowed that it will furrow in on itself & all of reality will be dragged into the furrowing until nothing can escape...thus, the furrowing shall end the universe as we know it
Then again, it's all about how you want to present the facts and what agenda you have.
Suppose some archaeologists do find 9 skeletons of men 8 feet tall and women 7 feet tall in some prehistoric Russian burial mounds. Are they a new species or, just a mutation?
The same could be asked about the real discovery of 3.5 foot tall humans on the Island of Flores in 2005. Some want to call them a new species of "non human" Hominids, others say they are just mutant pygmy forms of modern man.
So supposing some giant was 15 or 20 feet tall simply would require truly remarkable evidence. We cannot rule it out completely, but it would at least need a reference to a science journal, or peer reviewed magazine of good standing.
The closest thing I can imagine, would be some of the early estimate of Gigantopithecus, from the 1930's which were estimated up to as high as 13 feet. But Giganto was probably an Ape, although it is still debated if it was a biped or not.
There have been discoveries of large human bones and skeletons that could qualify as giant. Most being between 7 and 9 feet.
Mutations would account for most of these. The tallest estimate I have seen in the anthropological literature was over 11 feet for some partial bones found in a Neolothic French cemetery. Some of the archaic Homo Sapiens in Africa were large, over 7 feet tall.
Even the Bible gives no indication that there were giants much over 7 to 10 feet.
I believe that there could have been people that were larger than those of today. Now do I believe that there were 12, 15, 20 foot people hell no. But maybe closer to 8-9 feet. We once had lizards walking around that were bigger than buses. The only thing that is fact is that situations change, environments change, and unltimately spieces change as well.
@gqthugg21 Erm... Please do research before hand. As the human race goes, we've been getting largely taller, but with some scientists arguing that a split of species MAY occur, between short and tall humies ;]
8-9 feet? Impossible for humans to reach that hight without mutations, which unfortunately causes underlying health problems for the afflicted :(
And yes there were dinosaurs, but I don't catch your drift. We currently have the largest known living organism in existence today.... LORTLMFAO
Luckily, most facets of society do not operate under the requirement that "you had to be there." Otherwise, judicial systems around the world would be in absolute shambles.
@fernbap but then they say "no i have faith" this is something they get to use exclusively and is part of where the claim "well you have faith just like me but you have faith in science"
Proven to be a hoax and yet people will still cling to this--I can say these things are niphilim (sp?) or perhaps the Alien Scientist who came to seed the earth at the beginning of the time -- same plausibility ...

Not yet, but synthetic cells already exist.

Because the conditions on Earth were different a few billion years ago, and because the beginning of life on this planet was a rare event.

"Then why are we not seeing tons of cells develop around the world?"
I would just like the point out a fews things like the flu, AIDS/HIV and the many other diseases/illnesses that did start somewhere, that we do see develop around the world, and do multiply, mutate, and live, such as the common flu that spreads every year the same time, that was not that long ago called the swine flu, and actually killed a few people. And there are many more examples of such things.

Antagonistic, you say. Like, for instance, calling atheism a religion? That kind of antagonism?
What does atheism have that qualifies it as a religion?
The fact of the matter is there are no structured rules or tenets and there's no universal philosophy behind atheism.
Not believing in the many gods that people have concocted since the dawn of time makes you religious just about as much as not believing in Santa Clause makes you part of some Santa Clausian cult.
PaonSol 6 months ago
Atheists fancy themselves in quoting "You cannot prove a negative" but this is not true. Reason does not dictate that one cannot prove a negative, on the contrary reason says one cannot prove that which does not exist. Negative and non-existence do not mean the same; they are not synonyms. Negative is a real thing, i.e. it has being, and can be proven. Non-existence has no being so it cannot be proven. The burden of proof is an evasive tactic of atheists.
MultiShinar 6 months ago
Jeff is wrong when he says atheists do not have to prove that GOD does not exist. "He that asserts must prove". Atheism, in all its glory, is built on the nonsense of self-causation. All arguments in support of atheism are built on the grotesque concept of self-causation.

@PaonSol I agree, the universe was caused and it cannot be otherwise, however please state your position on causation. Do you adhere to the cosmological argument? And if you re-read my comment you should understand that I was not referring to the origin of the unverse but to the evasive atheistic tactic of claiming that one cannot prove a negative.
MultiShinar 6 months ago
@MultiShinar
No. It's hard for humans to imagine, but there are more options here than just that. The universe could have always existed, for example. This should not be a new notion to a theist because you apply that very attribute to your God.
As for your "proving a negative" jumble, according to your logic I can make any number of assertions about space monkeys controlling life from the spiritual realm and you would have to accept it simply because it's all "non-existence."
PaonSol 6 months ago
@PaonSol You say "The universe could have always existed, for example." This is the logic of Bertrand Russell and others before you, but this type of logic cannot get started because of an inherent contradiction. The contradiction is self-causation.
MultiShinar 6 months ago
@PaonSol "The universe could have always existed, for example." Your statement implies an eternal universe which ultimately leads to the concept of eternal matter, both of which are false. Matter is not eternal because when matter is combined to antimatter both are annihilated and cease to exist. Consequently, the universe cannot be eternal which means it could not have always been in existence.
MultiShinar 6 months ago
...yet this very same contradiction doesn't apply to God. It's quite convenient. And no, you're making a lot of assumptions here. The universe can be in an infinite state of expansion and then somehow contract, restarting the process. What we're talking about is absurdly complex and saying stuff like "it is impossible, it must have been created" reeks of bias. The very next line you usually hear after that is "it must have had an intelligent creator," which is yet another logical fallacy.
PaonSol 6 months ago
@PaonSol "The universe can be in an infinite state of expansion and then somehow contract, restarting the process." Your statement implies an infinite regress, but the infinite regress concept, like self-causation, is incongruent with right reasoning. Throught your statements you are speaking in terms of uncertainty. Atheism is suppose to be certain and firm in its claims.

@PaonSol Well, can't argue with that one. Our political parties really do suck. As far as Gnosticism goes, it is a spiritual system, which contradicts atheism. And atheists are not absolutists. We don't believe we know all, just that gods are a cheap answer. Christians are absolutists, believing they know the truth because a book says it.

You are using the word differently than I am. Gnostic is Greek and means knowledge, the word is not only used for the religion. Agnostics have taken the word and made it into a position wherein they say they don't know if they believe in god(s) or not.
However, the other meanings of agnostic and gnostic are as adjectives: I am an agnostic atheist, I don't believe in god(s), but I don't claim certain knowledge that there are no gods.
There are atheists who do, and they are absolutists.
PaonSol 5 months ago
@PaonSol I know that Gnosis is Greek for Knowledge. A lot of atheists are "agnostic atheists." I would have to admit that I am unsure on the matter of the afterlife and such, but I wouldn't call myself agnostic. More like scientific about the matter, though very critical. Not really even comfortable being called an atheist. I see it all as personal views, belief or not. When we make religions out of our views, that's dangerous.
Kiru26 5 months ago
@Kiru26
If you're scientific about the matter, you are most definitely agnostic. Science is agnostic about EVERYTHING, which is the way it should be. Theories can change radically, and skeptical minds are necessary for science to work its magic.
PaonSol 5 months ago
@PaonSol I agree, and I would be considered agnostic in the sense that I know I don't know. I just never use the term because I'm very critical on the matter. My science of choice is physics and there are no laws in physics that prevent a soul from existing. There are, however, none that suggest one has to. I grew up spiritual, so as all the beliefs fell through it made me more critical of anything being true at all. Gotta keep an open mind, but belief for the sake of belief is just dumb.
Kiru26 5 months ago
@Kiru26
I think you're the one who doesn't know what "gnosticism" means. "A" is latin and means without. Hence, "Agnostic" means without knowledge. "Gnostic" means WITH knowledge, as in, 100% certainty. If you're a gnostic atheist, then you're deluded because—aside from mathematical axioms and such—there's no such thing as 100% certainty, and I don't like absolutists.
PaonSol 5 months ago
@MultiShinar
As for the causation part, I was responding to your talk about atheists and self-causation. I am merely pointing out a fact often neglected (or rejected) by many religious people: the universe is deterministic and relies entirely on cause and effect. This is not so much an atheist notion as it is a universal law quite readily observable by dropping a pen on the floor.
Unless you want to get pedantic about the definition, ask any neuroscientist if there's such a thing as free will.
PaonSol 6 months ago
@PaonSol Self-causation is worse than the Shakespearean dilemma "To Be or Not To Be". For something to cause its own existence it would have to exist before it existed. It would have to exist to creat itself but before it create itself it does not exist. Self-causation takes stupidity to a higher level. Is this the best that atheism can offer?
MultiShinar 6 months ago
@MultiShinar
"Atheism" is not offering anything, here. Unlike many religious folks, atheists aren't embarrassed to say "I don't know" when you get to the end of the stream of hows and whys. Except more often than not religious folks all of a sudden turn it around and say "ah but I do know: it was God!"
We don't know if the universe was created, but even if it was, it certainly doesn't prove anything about gods. There are several more hoops to jump through before that notion is true.
PaonSol 6 months ago
@PaonSol On the contrary, we do know if the universe was created. There are only four options to the origin of the universe: 1. the universe is eternal; 2. the universe is self-created; 3. the universe is an illusion; 4. the universe was created by a self-existent being called GOD. Can you think of any other options? If not, then which of the above is the most viable explanation for the origin of the universe?
MultiShinar 6 months ago
@MultiShinar
For one thing, those could be true at the same time. There are more options than there's human imagination. Maybe the universe came to be by merging with something else and was something entirely different before. Or maybe some advanced aliens did it. The problem with the latter one is that it runs into the same problem that God does: who created the aliens or God? If the answer is "God / they always existed", why not just skip a step and say the universe always existed?
PaonSol 6 months ago
@MultiShinar
In the end, the only thing atheism has to offer is the cold, hard truth.
I don't mind if you want to believe in something and that you don't care if what you believe in can be proven, but trying to prove the supernatural by dragging logic into the discussion is like trying to escape a tank of sharks by dragging a generator down into the water: you'll only destroy yourself.
PaonSol 6 months ago
@PaonSol If there is any type of determinism then something must first exist to have that ability, if nothing exist then there cannot be any determinism. That which exist cannot be self-caused but must be caused or un-caused.

@TenTonNuke One day, an ignorant Theist will cause Jeff's brow to become so furrowed that it will furrow in on itself & all of reality will be dragged into the furrowing until nothing can escape...thus, the furrowing shall end the universe as we know it

Then again, it's all about how you want to present the facts and what agenda you have.
Suppose some archaeologists do find 9 skeletons of men 8 feet tall and women 7 feet tall in some prehistoric Russian burial mounds. Are they a new species or, just a mutation?
The same could be asked about the real discovery of 3.5 foot tall humans on the Island of Flores in 2005. Some want to call them a new species of "non human" Hominids, others say they are just mutant pygmy forms of modern man.

So supposing some giant was 15 or 20 feet tall simply would require truly remarkable evidence. We cannot rule it out completely, but it would at least need a reference to a science journal, or peer reviewed magazine of good standing.
The closest thing I can imagine, would be some of the early estimate of Gigantopithecus, from the 1930's which were estimated up to as high as 13 feet. But Giganto was probably an Ape, although it is still debated if it was a biped or not.

There have been discoveries of large human bones and skeletons that could qualify as giant. Most being between 7 and 9 feet.
Mutations would account for most of these. The tallest estimate I have seen in the anthropological literature was over 11 feet for some partial bones found in a Neolothic French cemetery. Some of the archaic Homo Sapiens in Africa were large, over 7 feet tall.
Even the Bible gives no indication that there were giants much over 7 to 10 feet.

Why don't creationists do some background reading - i have a better understasnding than them from an a-level biology textbook

Stefan believes that giants existed but neanderthals are fake. Twisted.

I believe that there could have been people that were larger than those of today. Now do I believe that there were 12, 15, 20 foot people hell no. But maybe closer to 8-9 feet. We once had lizards walking around that were bigger than buses. The only thing that is fact is that situations change, environments change, and unltimately spieces change as well.

@gqthugg21 Erm... Please do research before hand. As the human race goes, we've been getting largely taller, but with some scientists arguing that a split of species MAY occur, between short and tall humies ;]
8-9 feet? Impossible for humans to reach that hight without mutations, which unfortunately causes underlying health problems for the afflicted :(
And yes there were dinosaurs, but I don't catch your drift. We currently have the largest known living organism in existence today.... LORTLMFAO

the "were you there" is so stupid that those that use it don't even realise that it is a double-edged sword.
You believe in the Genesis? Were you there?

Luckily, most facets of society do not operate under the requirement that "you had to be there." Otherwise, judicial systems around the world would be in absolute shambles.

@fernbap but then they say "no i have faith" this is something they get to use exclusively and is part of where the claim "well you have faith just like me but you have faith in science"

@tuseroni I know that. Saying "you have faith as well as i do" is like saying "we both are equally stupid". Theists need that to justify themselves.
Well, we aren't equally stupid. Get over it
