DawahFilms, Evidence & Atheism

This is a response to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJt1PV_UIqw&feature=feedu

In which @DawahFilms expounds why, in his view, there is no need to provide atheists with the evidence we demand for the existence of God. As is his style, Ali adopts attack as his preferred means of defence; accusing atheists of being dishonest, dogmatic and irrational. I offer rejoinders to each of his three accusations; providing him with the opportunity of respite from having to flail so energetically at straw men.

For those interested in what might be related philosophical material, DrEvolutionQuest has a video up of a nearly two hour interview with Tyler Wunder called "Why Plantinga's Reformed Epistemology Fails".

It can be watched at: /watch?v=N2K2DTdo0zI

It's audio only and they go over Wunder's 2007 PhD dissertation from Boston University where he's critical of Plantinga's theory and application of epistemic warrant. There is a link to the PhD thesis itself in the video description.

Glad you jumped in on this. He's gotten a lot of really good responses. This among them.

Finally, another good conversation!

I would never believe in supernatural, because when they'll be sufficient evidence of it, it's no longer supernatural, but simply natural.

Just like Thor or Jupiter's lightning appear supernatural, science explained enough of it that we can now create those. and we didn't become Gods. (insert famous Clarke's magic quote)

In his video Kevin says "Athiests are just playing word games when they say they believe in the possibilty of the existence of god, they don't believe it's even possible". That is total and complete horse shit right there. Dawahfilms video isn't even his own original idea, he ripped it off some other goofballs video on the internet just like VenomFangX did with Kent Hovind, his video isn't really even worth a serious response if you ask me.

Very enjoyable response, thanks for the video!

The lack of self-awareness in these types of arguments is astounding.

I can't believe you gave this dude attention, its all in-out group psychology with him...I see a bright future for him in Islamic militancy.

Any how, always great to see a new video, as usual great content! KEEP POSTING MY FRIEND

@gimmethegepgun NP, everyone gets to be wrong sometimes :)

It's easy to get this wrong, because as you say - CMD has been in windows since it was DOS based, and is there still now - so one would easily assume that that system hasn't changed. In reality CMD accessed the real DOS running at the core up until windows ME, but in versions after that DOS was ripped out and just sort of sandboxed on the side for compatibility sake. CMD is now just an interpreter rather than a real command interface.

@TheStigma Ugh you're right, I thought cmd.exe was actually DOS, but it just mimics it.

Also I think I was partially thinking of BIOS for some reason.

Windows hasn't used the MS-DOS code since the merger with NT4 & 5 in Windows XP (5.1).
