Believing a Lie - The Atheist Experience #642

After hearing Matt dispute her bible beliefs, a Christian caller implies that people need god to cope with life. Matt thoroughly dismantles this argument. He contends that it is always better to believe the truth. Don Baker and Matt Dillahunty host this clip from The Atheist Experience #642 - http://www.atheist-experience.com

The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin. The ACA is a non-profit organization, promoting positive atheism and the separation of church and state. If you would like to donate please do so at http://www.atheist-community.org/donate/

@Frank289100 " Do you own a gun. If so put it to your head and pull the trigger. DUMMY."

Luke: 6:27 But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies,

Practice what you preach instead of setting a very bad standard for Christians everywhere.

@Frank289100 Please don't lie. I gladly clarified several things for you, one being that Evolution doesn't rule out god, but you continue to make seem like it's god or Evolution. I'll give you an example for some of your issues: A variety of blueberry bushes are around, birds eat them and indirectly spread the seeds of the bushes, the blueberries that taste the most appealing will be chosen by the birds most often, meaning more of them reproduce until most blueberries have a sweet flavor.

@olwerXL Spring is coming. Go buy a variety of different flower seeds plant them and when they grow into these beautiful colorful flowers ask yourself how there is no GOD. If you still insist there is no GOD and evolution had this highly organized intelligence to determine the high of these flowers. Give them beautiful colors and fragrances Make nectar for honey bees to extract and help pollinate other flowers. Do you own a gun. If so put it to your head and pull the trigger. DUMMY.

I just love seeing bible thumpers out 'bibled' by Matt. It gives me warm and fuzzys. :D

@Frank289100 All the arguments you make are composed of solely ad hominem's. Learn how to argue then come back to youtube.

@Frank289100 Jeez... you're an idiot. The reason there are different editions is because science is constantly updating. As scientists make more discoveries it's only natural that the authors will want to include the new discoveries in future editions.

@Frank289100 And evolution does not know which "designs" are good or bad. It's blind.

[atheistram]

@Frank289100 So leprosy is God's design. What about anemia? Multiple Sclerosis? Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis? AIDS? I could go on.

@Frank289100 LOL... you're kidding, right??

@Frank289100 You're telling me to watch a long version of a video about the supernatural, when you won't even open a science book yourself? I have better things to do.
