Slitting the jugular vein of religious apologetics.

List of follow up videos in which I give a further defense of this video, explain WHY exactly an alternative explanation such as alien deception would be a more plausible explanation, and in which I answer objections:

  • I've read and seen so much of WLC's work that I know exactly how he would respond.

    'the aliens hypothesis is momentously ad-hoc, and given the historical/religious context of Christianity, the Christian God fits more so than aliens'

    ofcourse he would say it in a more 'eloquent' fashion.

  • @linuxisbetter0 isn't it true though?

  • @M3PanoS

    "isn't it true though?"

    Absolutely 100% not. See my response to linixisbetter0. Part 2 will explain exactly how the alien explanation is far far far less ad hoc than the Divine revelation explanation.

  • @linuxisbetter0

    yeah and I would elouently shove such a claim back up where it belongs :)

    The Divine revelation hypothesis is extremely ad hoc which I make clear in part 2. There is litterally nothing more to go on than the claim that a God was responsible. None of the unique attributes of God are required for any religious event and tons of extra attributes and assumptions are added in the Divine revelation hypothesis.

  • @KnownNoMore Yea, I've already seen your responses.

    I can deduce whether it was God that raised Jesus from the dead if I have a priori deductions about God before said event that tell me that God would in fact do this. Also, even if the resurrection can theoretically be attributed to aliens with hyper-technology, that doesn't change a single thing about the teachings of Christ. In the end, this whole point's irrelevant at best. Maybe God sent the aliens... o.O

  • i myself like to put into terms of my favourite scifi saga dune by frank herbert. it can be a missionaria protectiva applied to our species by alien species :). carefully engineered religion to provide means of steering the society in a desirable way.

  • Amazing videos, This channel needs to be much more popular!
