Yahweh's Amazing Miracle

Yahweh: He's either miraculous or 'mysterious'. It's a pity -- if the rest of us were as 'mysterious' as Yahweh we'd deserve to be in prison for crimes of omission.

Inspiration for this one came from a Fox News story that c0ct0pusPrime did a video on -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9MydMSLierU
a guy and his family was in a light aircraft whose pilot DIED in the chair, and credited the fact that everybody else on board didn't die to JESUS having been looking out for them in their hour of need -- Jesus was his co-pilot. Just amazing tunnel vision -- Yahweh/Jesus is responsible for all the good, but absolutely NONE of the bad -- and there was a hell of a lot of bad in that guy's story; the pilot actually DIED, and they very nearly all met their doom. The guy who landed the plane was an experienced pilot too - (MIRACLE!) and the air traffic control helped out - but it was FAITH that got them through! With a dead frigging pilot in the plane! THAT, of course, had nothing to do with Jesus.
It's hard for me to remember when I had such a ridiculous world view, but I know I did once!

This video provided me with an opportunity to discuss the whole thing about the lack of thought that is SO EVIDENT in theists who think that if there is a god, (which they view as a necessity for there being anything in existence), then it must automatically be THEIR god. Or even that it must be a god that has rules and ethical standards (let alone standards of what to make your clothes out of or whether to keep your foreskin).
I'm a pretty weak atheist in this regard -- I'd be pretty easily convinced that there must be some kind of starting force or originator -- (don't quote-mine me -- I haven't said that I believe any such thing). I certainly don't rule it out, but I haven't really come across any evidence to give me any idea of even the most basic characteristics of that "force", if it exists. But by no means does such an acceptance (or vague feeling) necessitate believing anything at ALL about the character of the creative force. There could be a creative force that we know absolutely NOTHING about! Why do people automatically assume that the character is knowable? Just because it says so in a ridiculous old book? Maybe the creative force is US!! Perhaps this life is what it's like when gods get drunk! Ever thought that? Or maybe it's fucking Yahweh! WE DON'T KNOW! None of the "evidence" presented up til now has been any good for ascertaining ANYTHING like a factual understanding of the situation. GiveITToMeGiveItToMeSHOW ME THE EVIDEEEEEENNNCEEEEEE!!!!

Look --

A youtube theist (ShockOfGod) is going around nowadays with his "silver bullet" question for atheists: "Show me the proof and evidence that atheism is accurate and correct". Of course, it's a ridiculous request if one actually understands what atheism is: ("Show me the truth and evidence that not believing in Atlantis is true"?).
But it occurs to me that a Christian, Jew, or Muslim would be EXTREMELY hard pressed to defend the most basic tenet of their faith: my challenge is this: "Show me the proof and evidence that there is only ONE god, not two, three, ten, or a million."
I'd love to see some responses to that. What do you think -- is it worth putting that challenge out in its own short video? Let me know. Maybe there's an answer that I haven't thought of yet! ☺

@dcarrera01 same thing the earth will be unhabital after that

[HoBustinJopson]

@dcarrera01 Well becoming a red giant is what is means when explodes. The earth will be vaporized. The red giant might even engulf the earth. but then yes after all fuel and hydrogen spent it will become a white dwarf, only to fizzle out.

[dcarrera01]

@zacthebold: The transition from red giant to white dwarf is not at all sudden. After the Red Giant phase, the Sun will join the Horizontal Branch,. burning helium in the core and making carbon and oxygen. When the core is depleted of helium, then comes the Asymptotic Giant Branch, which has a helium burning shell. All of these phases have strong stellar winds, especially the AGB, which continues ejecting material until only the inert carbon-oxygen core is left. This core is a white dwarf.

@dcarrera01 When the sun transitions from the red giant phase to the white dwarf phase it will throw off it's outer layers suddenly. Nothing like a supernova but still you could call it an explosion.

@renuznet I was pretty skeptic, and I really didn't care about god for the last four months. It wasn't till last month I saw the ZOMGitsCriss videos I gave up Islam.

[renuznet]

This video literally converted me to atheism.

Another correction: We know perfectly well that the universe will NOT collapse onto itself. The universe will continue to expand forever. This is not even new science, it is well established by now. The 2010 Nobel Prize was even about the accelerating universe.
