Ok but this video doesn't prove the christian world view is wrong.

No, it just shows that your perceptions are based on your beliefs so can't be relied upon, that the only way to be sure of things is independent testing and verification (ie science). If you want proof the christian worldview is wrong, try actually reading your bible, fastest way to atheism there is.

There is no such thing as "independent testing" & verification if the parties doing the testing and verifying all share the same belief system. A scientific belief system is no different, neurologically, than a belief in the bs of the Bible. It amounts to bs just the same. And by "bs" do I mean "belief system" or do I mean bull shit? Your indoctrination will decide how you interpret it.

Few practice Science. Most just follow Scientism, the cult of science. Jesus freaks without a Jesus.

Millions of scientists all with different cultural backgrounds and beliefs all freely able to access and test any data or methodology of any other scientist and you claim there is no such thing as independent testing? LOL moron.

@FlyingFree333 Why would you cover up your face and alter your voice? Just curious.

Thank you for your videos. Always helpful!

Ok you are either a complete liar or just a deluded moron parroting what you've been told without ever investigating any of it, either way you are an utter waste of time.

Any form of learning that bypasses critical examination is indoctrination, it is simply beliefs that sink straight in without being analyzed. Children absorb all kinds of information from thousands of sources through all kinds of different mediums, none are critically examined, just believed without question. Belief dictates perception, unexamined beliefs are indoctrination; ergo indoctrination alters perception.

A baby learning that things fall down, or that walls tend to be straight is very different from a small child being beaten into submission. One of them is basic cognition, the other is behavioral. They are very different places in the cerebral development.

I don't content with the fact that indoctrination can be life altering, but taking data from one field of study, and applying it to something almost unconnected is not good evidence. Neurobiology ≠ behavioral psychology

@urplereen

Indoctrination is not solely verbal, any repeated input will do. Physical abuse is indoctrination for example, just repeated beatings will drastically change someone's behavior, perception of reality and self worth, etc.
