Matt Dillahunty: "I'm a skeptic" - The Atheist Experience #692

@MagicActor1987 Can you also explain your distinction between the quality of life and quality of A life? If you refer to a collective quality then surely this is a sum of the individuals and so analysing one is also valid. You can't have a collectively higher quality of life in a group if it isn'...

@MagicActor1987 I've realised that long life, money and a good education are useless if you are not happy. I'm not saying they are not important but consider the choice: A rich unhappy life or a poor happy one? If I had to choose between money, security, long life or happiness I would pick happin...

@MagicActor1987 In my opinion, none of those things mean anything to me with regard the quality of my life. I also make no separation from me and everyone as I believe we all want the same basic things. They describe the comfortableness of life. I can own every gadget, have a thousand doctorates,...

@MagicActor1987 There are many conflicting opinions within the scientific community. We don't need to bring in religion here. It's too easy a target. Lets just stick with using science as the target for a change?!

@MagicActor1987 My fear is that someone feels that they have free will, but believes in statements given to them that seemingly prove to the contrary. You are left with a person who cannot trust their own mind. If you get to that stage you might almost give up on life as you can no longer trust y...

@iliveon I think the theory of evolution is brilliant and reasonable. But it just doesn't seem to fit the observed results perfectly. I just want to know why the system seems to start and stop for no apparent reason and for huge periods of time. If it is so reasonable then why do we not see thous...

@iliveon Please don't take this the wrong way but that was a little condescending, and didn't address the issue.

@iliveon So you cannot offer a reasonable explanation for the unusual delay in this path of evolution, and yet you don't think that it is a problem? There is a scientific gap here which is normally all that is needed for intense investigations but I'm not sure if this is happening. I presume you ...

@MagicActor1987 ... But ultimately we have to put trust in things, ideas and people and this is no more tangible than faith. This is probably one of the reasons religions thrive as well as science - they both rely on this same mechanic. It is a human mechanism and we couldn't function without it.
