Slitting the jugular vein of religious apologetics.

List of follow up videos in which I give a further defense of this video, explain WHY exactly an alternative explanation such as alien deception would be a more plausible explanation, and in which I answer objections:

  • Another Excellent Vid - Sound Quality is poor - You should redo audio sometime

  • @Artifactorfiction yeah, I've been thinking about redoing the audio. 

  • First, you grant "EVERYTHING" apologists claim, and then immediately take it back -- if you grant EVERYTHING apologists claim, then God declared himself clearly.

    Second, all you've done is changed the name of the deity. If "Aliens" did everything in the Bible, then we're still serving the Christian God, only His (undeclared) name is "Alien." So?

    And third, it's not enough to assert a possibility; give me one, sane reason to believe that this is true.

    Sorry. Pure, unadulterated idiocy.

  • @philWynk

    No I granted every event and every claim APART from it being divine revelation.

    No I didnt merely change a name. Aliens are not a God. They are not supernatural, not eternal, etc. They are limited beings like, only way more advanced.

    I dont believe this of course, if you think I did, you totally missed the point. The point is that there is no reason to believe divine revelation over alien deception or something similar; on the contrary such an alternative hypothesis fits better.

  • @KnownNoMore I regard your continued defense of this incredible nonsense as proof that atheists are incapable of rational thought, and furthermore that atheism is nothing more than the equivalent of sticking one's fingers in one's ears and yelling at God, "Nyaaa, nyaaa, I can't HEEEEEEEAAAAAR YOOOOOOOOO." Basically what you're saying is that God could prove Himself real in every way possible, and you'd dream up a reason not to obey Him anyway.

    Boy, am I impressed with your intellect...

  • @philWynk

    Maybe you should watch the follow up videos before you judge, because I basically answer all the objections you just named, in fact some of them I actually answered in THIS one if you had payed some attention.

see all

  • @KnownNoMore The alien hypothesis fits better??? I can point to the universe and use it to prove a conscious, intelligent, powerful, purposive, morally perfect being that is capable of doing all the things in the NT. So now it's your turn: prove that such a thing as alien life forms even EXIST, let alone are capable of any of the things in the NT. From reality, just like I did. And then explain how aliens came to be.

    BTW, planetary anthropic constants prove that alien life is not possible.

  • @KnownNoMore "God said" does not have to be divine revelation for it to be true. If what the NT says is true, then God is the Father, and His son is Jesus. Sorry, but that's simple and obvious.

    "Aliens are not a god." In what sense? How would you know? All you're saying is that [X] that did all those things in the NT is unknowable. SO WHAT??? If ALIENS did all the things in the NT, then we all owe obedience and gratitude to ALIENS. Explain why we don't.
