[TheAtheistAntidote]

This is a good video and I enjoyed it, however my claim was simply that one can study organisms with the presumption that they were created by God. I am not claiming the possibility or even the need to test the supernatural. You simply are strawmaning. You act as if the system for testing the natural world belongs to the atheist, when just the opposite is true.

Can you give me even one real reason why a GOD creator presumption hinders an individual researcher in any way, shape or form.?

[urbanelf]

Given the comments you made at about 7:00 you imply that supernatural intelligence can be detected, just like intelligence can be detected in art and airplanes. This makes GOD an integral component of the hypothesis and therefore must be testable.

So, there are your choices. (a) and I am strawmaning you, but GOD is totally superfluous to the scientific method. (b) and I'm not strawmaning you.

You pick.

Nicely done. "Or shut the fuck up" indeed. From what I've seen of this AtheistAntidote person, he's yet to meet a hackneyed theistic talking point that he doesn't love. Very much all hat and no cattle.

These folks cannot even explain what they call 'supernatural' in any coherent way. It's a bunch of gibberish.

and if he didn't want anyone to go to hell there would BE NO HELL! You are inconsistent, please shutup, you have just been pwned.

What if we discovered some sort of level of existence that is exactly where we would expect to find a god, but instead we find something that perhaps has some powers a god has, (like generation a universe) and doesn't follow rules as far as we can tell, but it has no consciousness and doesn't act in a meaningful way the way our idea of supernatural things usually do. Would that thing be supernatural, or just a different level of natural existence we don't understand?

[LanceDirk]

I don't know if I agree with your definition of natural. I think something that's natural is something that exists in the natural world. A feature of the natural world that we have observed is that it follows predictable laws. This leads to the problem of then defining the natural world and existence. Maybe the natural world is that which exists in the fabric of the universe, but what if there are multiple universes? cont'

@VeryEvilPettingZoo The soft sciences search for patterns in the behavior of millions and billions of simultaneous physical reactions built upon and interacting with millions and billions of other physical reactions by inferring downward from the result of these reactions rather than studying the reactions themselves. Thus the soft sciences study something that behaves naturalistically in a practical way, rather than a rigorous way, which explains the vagueness.

verry good response,verry good video

[10sodot]

i recommend william lane craig vs john shook.

[HAJS5]

yes, you have just been pwned, good bye idiot ^^

[HAJS5]

and hell, what if islam is right or buddhism or the billions of other religions in the past, there is no way to say there's is wrong w/o discrediting your own as well. You're gullible, brainwashed, delusional, and ignorant, I'm going to be so glad when idiots like you don't exist in 50 or 60 years.

[HAJS5]

You're damn right I'm angry, I'm fed up with idiots like you, oh and did you also know there is absolutely no written history that ever spoke of this savior during that time period and there were many of the same or similar messiahs in previous religions that were born a virgin birth and many other parralels? Not only is religion bullshit, but Christianity is just a crappy rip off of older religions.

[HAJS5]

You're pathetic, logic is logic, there is nothing that changes it no matter how smart the person is, you fail to find arguments against what I have to say and merely crawl back in your shell of ignorance, did you know in 300 A.D. there were 8 versions of christianity, but there was a meeting of all the religios leaders for christianity to decide which one they will use, so if it really did happen there are at least 7 different forms that could be correct.
