Why Faith Is Irrational

Matt Dillahunty tries to explain to a Christian why faith is not the path to truth.

WHAT IS THE ATHEIST EXPERIENCE?

The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access television show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin. The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

@deusmoney "Not one person has proved the theory of evolution past the point of saying that the theory is scientifically correct."

Oh my God, hahahahahahahahahahaha

What more is there to do but prove something is correct scientifically?

Evolution is a fact, moron.

@controversialbook . And who is the man who knows what is in a man except only the spirit of the man that is in him? So also a man does not know what is in God, only The Spirit of God knows.

@robertghouston . Alright. I see why you would say that. Do you believe in Israel? The people, the country?

[deusmoney]

@robertghouston . granted. sounds like 1950's horror. Now my next question. If it is a theory and not fact, shouldnt the opposing argument (creation) be taught as well? After all, that argument was generally accepted by most people until quite recently.

@deusmoney 'And if you dont believe in Jesus or anything related why are you adamantly against it?' I believe Jesus existed. I believe he was probably a street magician (hence the 'miracles'/magic tricks) who perhaps saw himself as a messiah (hence the preaching) and who pissed off the Jews and/or the Roman Empire (hence the crucifixion). What I'm adamantly against is the assumption that he was the son of god. He may have claimed he was,but then a lot of folks make unbelievable claims

@deusmoney 'If evolution is a theory why is being touted to the world as fact?' Scientific theories are fact; either they're based on observation, demonstration, or collection of historical information. The 'Theory' of the 'Theory of Evolution' isn't like David Icke's theory of reptilian overlords in human skinsuits controlling the world, a 'theory' which is clearly crazy and delusional.

@controversialbook . interesting theory. the thing about over the counter drugs is that the effects are real not imagined. So you are basically validating the effectiveness of Jesus, which in essence makes him real.

Every knee will bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
