Channel Description:
Antitheist - Science - Opinion and Humor - some music and Bianka, my cat.

"They [religions] all make the same mistake. They all take the only real faculty we have that distinguishes us from other primates and from other animals -- the faculty of reason, and the willingness to take any risk that reason demands of us -- and they replace that with the idea that faith is a virtue. If I could change just one thing, it would be to dissociate the idea of faith from virtue, now and for good, and to expose it for what it is: a servile weakness, a refuge in cowardice, and a willingness to follow with credulity, people who are in the highest degree, unscrupulous."
~ Christopher Hitchens 9-7-2010 ~

You left a comment on my channel so I thought it'd leave a belated reply.

I honestly don't remember what I said to megaloethor. All I can remember is I got the impression he was a cunt so I left something that wasn't filled with respect, kindness and rainbows. I wasn't trolling him I went there to prove a point but I have to admit it wasn't worded with the kindest of intentions.

Also, make sure no one is watching you sleep.

Evolution is defined as any change across successive generations in the heritable characteristics of biological populations.
Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins.

Why should that particular "truth" be withheld from you until you die?
Because god only relies on faith? How strange. Doesn't that strike you as odd right there?
I mean we're only talking about your/our life.
If it is to be heaven or hell, it should make the rules of the game crystal clear to all.
Instead, it is all mystery, interpretation and feeling.
A global map of the various religions will confirm that.

If evolution has nothing to do with Abiogenesis, a hypothetical organic phenomenon by which living organisms are created from nonliving matter, then how do you define evolution?
TalladegaTom (2 weeks ago)
Yes. We have tons of evidence to support the idea.
Never said the eye and ear was simple. Just that we understand how they work and that they are not designed by intelligence.
Complexity can arise from simplicity. It is there for the understanding if you are willing to look at the massive amount of accumulated knowledge that we now have.
Take those god glasses off for 8 minutes and watch this.

The bottom line is when you die you choose to believe you will be nothing but worm food, and your probably right, you know, where their worm never dies, and I choose to believe in Jesus, unfortunately that truth will not be revealed about a split second after death.
I just do not understand why you would want to believe that when you have a choice.

Do you really believe, after understanding the structure and how the interwoven intricacies of the so called simple eye and ear collaborate to provide us with sight and sound, that we evolved from some singularity, which in itself contradicts its own existence, and after millions and billions of years resulted in life? These two parts of the human body are only a small fraction of the total parts such as arms, legs, hands and fingers, feet and toes or even lips and fingernails, which make a complete functioning body. However, the main part to really consider is the brain, the last of the unknown frontiers. Nothing shouts more of Intelligent Design than any other part of anything with or in existence than the brain.

"decomposure" HA! I had to look that one up. Thanks for the chuckle.
As it turns out, that is an electronic musician from Canada. Cool. I'll check that out!
"..project light to the brain where an unexplained process gives us the images of reality."
Another good chuckle. Ummm, we know how the eye works these days...and the ear.
They are NOT unexplainable. Curious, how does the eye doctor know what prescription to give the millions who need glasses if he doesn't know how the eye works?
hollowpoint51 (2 weeks ago)
The human body is so complex that every cell in it interacts with every other cell in the body.  If they cease to perform this basic function, decomposure will begin. Just considering the makeup of the human eye and the interwoven intricacies involved to project light to the brain where an unexplained process gives us the images of reality. Add in the ear with its own interwoven intricacies, to produce sound waves that are sent to the brain to perform the same unexplained process that occurs in the brain to give us audible reality. Now consider the brain.
