[NewThinkful]

@NewThinkful In short, none of these things are actually "leaps of faith." Each of the first three have scientific solutions whose theories (i.e. the Big Bang, abiogenesis, and evolution) are based on observations and evidence in the real world, and the debate about introspection and free will isn't really a scientific question, but one for philosophers and psychologists. (Can you satisfactorily demonstrate to another person or to yourself that you have free will from all causes? I doubt it.)

... because the first part was brain melting stupidity.

All of these so called bangs are . . . theoretical. They can not be proven. They are ideas thought up by men to answer . . . their unknowns.

To truly believe in God. One must actually have an Out of Body Experience (OBX). And communicate and interact directly with God.

The idea of reading books to arrive at truth is like trying to sleep walk on a tight rope across the grand canyon . . . thinking you will get to the other side safely.

There was only one big bang.

Life forms formed gradually, the first life forms are said to have been tiny lumps of oil with the most basic organic compounds stuck in between them. The odds may be 1 to 10e100, but hey, there are more than 10e1000 stars in the universe, right ?

The evolution of mind is easy to prove. We can observe different behaviors we've inherited from fish to elephants and in fact worms. And morality is just plain bullshit. It's an evolutionary mistake. But I can't cmnt frth

Atheist? Theist? Two sides of the same coin, either way you are dealing in absolutes in a world where such a thing simply does not exist. Nature is imperfect and not even the laws of physics ALWAYS hold true.

Wow... a waste of almost 6 minutes. I know which university NOT to send my children to.

[Poharex]

Prager, consider me unsubscribed.

@NefariousVirtuoso88 If you don't watch the entire video, how can you judge it?

[RdMrcr]

It makes me sad how Americans who support Israel are illogical when it comes to anything else.

[NefariousVirtuoso88]

This video is so stupid.

I only made it past the first Big Bang.

Have to stop to save my sanity.
