somehow this video is in relation to my Listen, Learn and Grow video, so I thought I would check it out. Watched it the whole way through. Like what your saying, unfortunately, the folks who need to hear this probably won't watch it because folks tend to watch material that enforces their beliefs, instead of challenging them. For those who need to hear this and do actually watch it, you open pandora's box, because it's human nature to defend that which we think we know. loved it
People who need a literal interpretation of their religion seem to be incapable of recognizing the difference between the existential and the products of their mind. It appears they take an emotional response as evidence, and they project their own thoughts, beliefs and emotions on the reality around them. They see/feel that their religion is existential regardless of evidence. Many YT atheists say their deconversion began by asking questions... when they moved beyond their own head.
I am Atheist, and I believe consciousness is like a "flower" in a Universe. Like a plant, after much work growing from a seed, finally being able to flower. We are where the Universe has built its complexities. But our complexities will be used up eventually and new ones will be formed elsewhere. Humans are such a spec in the Universe. Spec in physicalities , as well as time.

"Science & religion have now become pit against one another"
Wrong.
That's an echo of propaganda, a semantic trick that no one should be buying into.
What has been pitted against each other, is fact verses theocratic propaganda, & the proponents thereof.
Bullshit spreaders are pseudo-religious fascists, demanding conformity from everyone, to their fantasy paradigms, of how things should be.
That is not religion against science, but deluded political hacks, out to discredit facts & reality.
