I love your vids, so I hesitate to be overly critical. But I think you appreciate feedback which helps you be more precise.

The Big Bang was not an explosion. Rapid expansion of space-time is more accurate. Saying explosion just allows for the creationist argument that no explosion ever results in more order and thus violates the 2nd law.

Some physicists say that the universe was at it's most ordered at the time of the big bang, but that is difficult to explain/understand.

@Qillz Thanks, Qillz, this isn't over-critical at all. My use of the term 'explosion' is mistaken, and a throwback to what I learned in physics. I'm glad that later in the video I describe the big bang more accurately as an expansion of time and space. I corrected the 'explosion' reference in one of my two errata videos.

@Galileo005

By having a religious viewpoint that has been contradicted in this video and then having that fact rubbed in your face that you were wrong. Of course, people who weren't willing to learn really shouldn't be trying to watch it anyway should they?

@atheistchaos oh okay. Well, I sent you a reeeaaally long message just now about all this, and this comment really doesn't respond to that message well, because I already covered it. read it, tell me what you think. (via message if it's long.)

@Powerlight958

I don't prove you wrong, you prove yourself right. You've got it backwards. You don't get to just ignore reality and say that it's logical that magic beings exist. Doesn't work that way.

I would respond to message, but this post isn't long enough to demand a message reply.

[Powerlight958]

@atheistchaos whoah, I just realized I missed a ton of your comments, I'll just message you, I don't want to miss anything. But you have to learn to carry an arguement. You're not willing to accept my definition of God. You're trying desperately to bring him back into universal limits. But the God I believe in CREATED those limits, so stop saying it's a cop out, because if you want to prove me wrong, you can't just accuse it of being a cop out, that's not a good argument. (please reply via msg)

[Powerlight958]

@atheistchaos No, but there it's not that there are hundreds of possible ways, I've generalized it to six possible possibilities.

First true statement: Either the universe had a beginning or not. yes or no, no in between.

If the universe never had a beginning. therefore meaning there were an infinite amount of moments before the present moment, this is illogical because the present moment exists. (for me anyway)

second question in the next comment.

@Powerlight958

I prefer you not try to act like it's impossible for humans to not know something. I suppose it would have been illogical for a common man 10000 years ago to say he doesn't know what causes the tides of the ocean, or what causes people to get sick, or what causes lightning. Those are things that at one point in time, humanity did not know, and we found out. I pity you, as you will be the man they think of in another 10000 years, when we didn't know what started it all.

[Powerlight958]

@atheistchaos actually, none of the above is not a logical option available. I could explain it on the comment stream here, but that would take a LOT of comments, or I could message you. Which one do you prefer?

@Powerlight958

Also, you need to learn how process of elimination works. When you don't know the answer of a multiple choice question, you get rid of answers you -know- are wrong, and then choose out of the only possible right answers left. Well, in this case, the answer option "None of the above" is available, and we don't know that all the other answers are wrong, so process of elimination doesn't work here.

There is no evidence for a being that doesn't exist in the physical realm.

Jesus please finish school before you continue with this conversation.

Logic works on one assumption, and that is "I think, therefore I am." Assuming that reality exist, and we are not in a matrix scenario where the input our senses send to our brain is all fake is the only prerequisite to logic working. If you think otherwise, you don't know what logic is, and cannot comment seriously on the topic.
