@bboots100 I never reply to comments on videos as a rule, but I liked your comment so much I thought I'd say thanks! It's rare not to read a comment that either completely misses the point or goes "you'll go to hell, Godless fag"!

If the scientific method cannot detect a god, neither can a human being. How do human beings detect God? If God is something a human can detect, so can a scientific experiment. And do not invoke Einstein; that as you know is the Argument From Authority and it is a fallacy!

This was a wonderful evaluation of our dear friend Mr. Venom's video. The poor dear seems at times to be struggling with what he has convinced himself to believe. Sometimes, a little glimmer of truth pokes it's head up through his logical, but he stubbornly bats it out of his way. Science is marvelous, innovative and insightful. But it will never be able to give us the answer to what this life means; the one question we all hope it might. Science isn't in the business of finding truths.

@TheNamelessCharacter Addendum, "could fool some people if criticism" was an error. What I meant was "could fool some people if criticism is not available."

[TheNamelessCharacter]

Acknowledging for a second that his arguments sound somewhat convincing and could fool some people if criticism,

You do know he won't pay attention, right?

But I do have to agree with the comparison of a speedometer measuring cake temperature. I guess the knee jerk may be a reaction to the fact he's in the past tried to prove his God scientifically by proving (and failing) Creationism.
