  • "I suggest that he learns about quantum mechanics where NOTHING is certain."

    Sounds pretty fucking certain to me.

    Your argument is invalid.

  • You know, people really need to know philosophy. I went and watched all the philosophical videos from the beginning, because I wanted what was promised - truth from first principle. I had never heard of this concept before. Somebody could actually tell me not only the truth, but how to discern truth from non-truth? Mindblowing. People are really crippled without this knowledge. I used to believe "nothing is certain" for awhile, was my head ever in a mess.

  • Only a Sith deals in absolutes!

  • He's comparing apples and oranges. We can prove that 2+2=4, but the problem with a deity is that it one existed, it would not necessarily conform to any convention of logic we know. That is not the same as claiming nonexistence; that is claiming there *might* be something out there somewhere that we cannot comprehend with our usual methods. The agnostic does not say "nothing is certain"; the agnostic says the existence of a deity is uncertain.

  • I'm not generally a huge fan of your philosophy, but this video is bang on the money.

  • @Anon1696 Agnosticism is just intellectual paralysis.

  • @Anon1696 then the existence of quantum mechanics is uncertain then

  • I had to chuckle, I cry agnostic, when I'm tired of arguing. I call it my "Chickening out" fib. Getting stronger. At least I can laugh at myself.

  • Philosophy, and science aside, I'd like to make a point. Atheism is too much of an "I Hate God Club". They resent religion, and even believers. I rarely see an atheist take a live and let live stance. Tends to attract very arrogant, snooty, smart ass, self righteous know it alls. It actually reminds me of a religion. This is part of the reason why many agnostics refuse to identify with atheists. Atheists suck!! Agnostics Rule!! Hahaha

  • Will somebody PLEASE get the damn phone?!

  • Thank you once again, sir.
