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.
"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.
