ah fuck. I'm in the weird bit of youtube again

atheists die first? If I'm near death, I won't be thinking "hallelujah, I'm being sent to god for eternal life." I'll be thinking "Sh*t, this is my one chance at life, there's no way I'm letting that slip by me."

@kokalol7 Lol, I like that one. falsified evidence. I research plant-pathogen interaction. I'm not an evolutionary biologist, nor a bioinformatician, but I use their data on a nearly daily basis to predict specific outcomes of interactions between evolutionarily related species. Guess what, so f...

@awsomepeople1234 you do realise it's not all about speed right? That people aren't just watching some guy spew shit from his mouth faster than someone else, but agree with what he says?

@realoverfake 1) you obviously don't understand the term "pagan. 2) every religion claims to be the one true religion (obviously without any evidence).

@Spinner198 They don't include any measurements, the size of the sample, the replicates, any indication of statistics used to show that what they were seeing was a real effect. If they had, this would be published in a high-impact journal, not a blog. As it is, it's very suspect, particularly as ...

@Fantasticlist I agree that that would have been better wrt readability, however this is a public forum. I'd be glad for any casual viewer to correct me if I'm mistaken at any point or if they disagree with my premise.

@LeySun interesting idea, although can you really separate the hardware of our brains from the software? Numerous studies have shown certain processes to be attributed to specific areas in the brain, so perhaps the software is an emergent property of the hardware? As for the fallibility, again st...

@MrIrishBilly they don't. Antibiotics are only effective against bacteria. For a virus you'd need anti-virals.

@throwscats you need to watch more of these videos. That's a logical fallacy- an argument from ignorance "there is something you can't explain, therefore it must be this". It's an argument used by a lot of theists "you can't explain everything in the universe, therefore god must exist".

@ozredneck22 what have pagans got to do with atheism?

@ProfMichaelson yes I understand that, however I fail to see how this shows that there are stars older than the universe.

@3nergybomberic you don't understand the second law of thermodynamics, nor how it relates to biological processes. For a reaction to occur change in free energy =< 0.

Free energy = change in enthalpy(heat) - Tx(change in entropy). This means that a reaction can occur spontaneously if either there...

oh god, can't keep watching. Made it to 24:20. Go on without me.

Do these people who hate homosexuals also refuse to eat pork? Do they refuse to wear mixed-fibre clothing? Will they refuse to buy crops on from a field every fourth year of planting? Do they observe passover? Any of them got tattoos?

According to their rules if they break any part of their coven...

"out of context"?!?!

In what context, exactly, is it ok to own people as slaves? Under what circumstances is it ok to stone a child (or anyone) to death? Don't use this context crap, it just won't wash.

And Obama's arrogance? How about your arrogance assuming to know the mind of your god? Sayin...

@billybobjoeftw actually you're only half right. We're not talking about the existence of god, but how life evolved. I assert natural selection. He asserts ID. There is a burden of proof on both sides to try and determine the most likely (as judged based on the evidence) truth.

@TETSUno1 you don't need to go that far. In fact you can dismiss the wager without leaving Christianity/Islam etc...

Which denomination do you choose? Do you wager on Catholicism or Protestantism? Baptist? Anglican? Eastern Orthodox? Each claims the truth of their god's message, each must be foll...

@tyseibert how about "the particle (ab libbing here) that created the universe existed before, and therefore outside of, the space and time. As it is outside of time it did not need to be created. One "day (a meaningless concept)" it imploded and created the universe." Or this one "[insert what y...

@Templar8969 are you an idiot? We are primates.

If you're picking and choosing which teachings from the bible to live your life by- deciding which are "true" and "good" and "moral", then how are you deciding what to listen to and what to ignore? In this way the bible is no more a guide to living a moral life than Matt's philosophy.

@xXsakkelaoXx actually you can deny your own existence. Descartes (who I assume you're referring to) goes on to admit that he could in fact be the imagination of a demon (not his exact words) and thus even his own existence is not certain. Point 3 is gibberish, point 4 is a bit of an assumption, ...

@803happygirl. One why not reply publicly? Two your message didn't mention what it would take to disprove ID- I hypothesise that this is because the statement "some higher power did it" can't be disproven (although my hypothesis can, by you showing what would disprove ID- see how hypotheses work?...

"If it is possible that A =/= B, then it follows that A is in fact not identical to B."

Anyone else wonder exactly what that bull is meant to mean? It is possible that I am not male (it could be that I am a really fucked up female with what appears to be male genitalia, low oestrogen levels and ...

@jdesign407 yeah, that's a teaspoon, not a tablespoon unless that's a giant hand holding it and an obscenely oversized can.
