Scientifically Refuting the Argument from Experience- Part 1

This is part one of a series of short videos examining and explaining why people so often believe the emotional states come from a higher power. It also demonstrates how average and otherwise sane people can feel the experience of "God" and why, because there are perfectly valid scientific reasons for it, it is a poor argument for faith.

Please be forgiving, as it is my first time making a video with PowerVideoMaker and Powerpoint.

@MyVoicenotSilenced '' I am sorry for anyone who thinks he is a myth'' Do not feel sorry for me.It is you who is ignorant of ancient history and the evolution of the Satan myth.I do not have delusions of invisible beings so I am doing quite well.

@MyVoicenotSilenced ''my family had Satanists living in it before we moved in'' ''Satan'' is a myth found a book of borrowed myth.This is a fact. Do your research.

@MyVoicenotSilenced '' people do not want to believe in God'' You must first define your god and provide evidence that several independent observers can witness and examine.That is how we [and you when applied to anything else] determine what is ''real''...

@MyVoicenotSilenced ''...desperately don't want to believe or know.'' Believe what?

Are you talking to me? If so who is she and her friends?

I have something for you to think about. If Some mental illnesses is a chemical imbalance, if they know what chemical these people are deficent in, then it stands to reason we should see better results than we do.

Emotional trama is different which can cause trust issues, even split personalities. Way more complicated than chemical imbalance.

Just asking questions inquiring minds want to know.

[pikemand1410]

have you considered the posibility that she and her friends are just clammering for attention? Anyway my belief in this matter is irelevant as i do not have enough information about it to analyse it.

Oh and if your is not willing to accept that she and her friends are wrong given enough evidence then they can only be described with one adjective, Ignorant.

Or stupid.

[vbirdieb]

SHE WASN'T alone. That's like telling YOU that even though your friends and YOU saw something, it wasn't real. No matter how clearly you saw it. COME ON BE FOR REAL. If you and your friends saw something that couldn't be explained out in the middle of nowhere, after reading about a really nasty demon, (not aloud) I think you would change your mind. But you would be called nuts or a liar, all because you can't prove it, even with witnesses. I suppose you would still call it a myth. Denial

In regard to your sister:The mind can manifest what it strongly believes it seems and remember-the optic nerve is a ''two way street'' =/

[lipoicacid]

''So you believe in nothing''.The opposite of what you believe is ''nothing''??? Where is this ''nothing''??? =/

[vbirdieb]

So you believe in nothing. But do you believe there are ghosts or some unexplainable things? My sister had some scary things happen when messing around with the Satanic bible, and she wasn't by herself. You'll never convince her that it wasn't real, because they weren't expecting anything to happen but the opposite occured.
