At 5:31 the screen quickly goes black. Just curious: Did you (or anyone else) remove any footage? I'd like to know if Mr. Tooley had anything else to say. Thanks

@MetaphysicsAddict Hi MetaphysicsAddict. There was no footage removed, at least by me there wasn't. The black screen also appears on the DVD copy.

He ignores quantum tunneling as a means to get past a singularity.

[Christianjr4]

He dealt with quantum tunneling in the main part of his lecture.

CONCLUSION:

God never began to exist -- He exists eternally, untouched by creation and destruction.

Modern science has shown conclusively that the universe began to exist, and since everything with a beginning has an external cause, the universe has an external cause.

That cause is God, just as Theists have always known, and just as the irrefutable factual conclusions of modern science attest.

Is that Peter Singer sitting behind Michael Tooley at 3:15?

@thetraceur123 Nice reasoning! Disable comments so we can reason. Sorry to learn of your mental challenges.

[thetraceur123]

@notnilccm So stupid people like you would stop babbling and start reasoning...

[notnilccm]

WOW finally a Craig video that has not disabled comments! Why is this guy such a chicken shit to allow anyone to make a comment on his idiotic babbling.

[DigitalDecadence]

This entire lecture is purely awesome. Second time I'm watching it, and I can't get over the subjects raised. :>

i'll happily admit defeat if you do one thing: summerize the schroedinger's cat thought experiment.

and by the way, just because you can't think of a way to do something that doesn't mean it can't be done.

[Purushadasa]

Wrong. You cannot say conclusively that nobody observed it falling -- someone could have tampered with your surveillance device. Besides, it is impossible to observe all around a tree without also observing the tree, numb-nuts.

You are obviously overdue for your schizoid meds, so I will be leaving this inane conversation now in search of someone sane, unlike you.

This conversation is now over, and you have been utterly defeated by dint of your ignorance and insanity.

[Purushadasa]

Modern science has proven conclusively and irrefutably that the universe began to exist. Anything that begins to exist has an external cause. Therefore the universe has an external cause.

Modern science confirms what Theists have known for millennia, and modern science also proves that atheism is utter nonsense.

atheist total fail

[theansible]

you're joking right? fine. let's set up video surveillance to moniter the 3d space around the tree, without looking at the tree naturally. if noone is detected in the timeperiod the tree falls we can safely say that noone observed it falling.

same with schroedinger's cat: if you are in possession of the box with the cat, then you can confirm that it has not been opened.
