Where did EVERYTHING come from?

Creationists commonly and confidently boast that they know more than every expert in any field of scientific study -even when they have no idea what any of the relevant subjects even are. In this case, for example, a cab driver who admits to "very little" education, -and only five subscribers- lobbed a series of newbie-level questions at me which he apparently believes to be powerful arguments. He refused to review where I had already answered all his challenges in the FFoC series and insisted on making me repeat every explanation for him alone. He also said he had debated many "evolutionists", yet his content implied that he had never even met anyone with an adequate understanding of science before. So I told him if he were to debate me in a series of YouTube videos, then he would likely never debate against evolution again. As these are to be structured as a vary straightforward series of Q & A, then he'll serve as a valuable vehicle to launch an introductory primer on the alleged controversy between religious dogmatism and scientific methodology.

@CaptainSmallFoot,

This guy is healthycabby on youtube,

And now he quit religion. AronRa FTW.

I've said it before and I will say it again: Carl Sagan is the Mr Rogers of science.

Well after that response I favorited and subscribed, outstanding response.

What I like about AronRa: he looks like a mean biker but acts like an educated gentleman. It's very disarming. It must drive creationists up the wall when they debate him.

Like a boss!

Very very good video.

"How is that not “picking and choosing”?"

Because you invented one of them and you're misrepresenting the other. The zero-space singularity before the Big Bang is not professed as "truth," but is merely the most accurate hypothesis we currently possess. Scientists are honest enough to admit that they don't know everything, but flawed ideas CAN still be accurate. Just look at Newtonian gravity.

Seriously...go to high school.

Wow! That litle peice by carl sagan at the end gave me tingles.

[romney27]

@AronRa it’s ok for science to fill in the gaps by assuming a cosmological singularity in one book, and to assume a biological singularity in another book, but try to assume that those two scientific singularities have any connection is invalid? How is that not “picking and choosing”?

You say that just because science doesn’t know doesn’t mean that it wont know in the future. I suspect the same can be said existentially.

@jomen112 Since matter=energy and the opposite is true...yes it does mean that. If the total energy in a system is equal to zero, than you can say that the total matter of the system is equal to zero. Therefore the total amount of anything in the system is equal to zero.

@attheveryend How do you know he "quit religion"?
