I expected a lot of rude comments for the girl because she looks very liberal but of course my muslim brothers and sisters are so kind. Even the interviewer is soft spoken, what a pleasant surprise. The audio and video quality are just so nice with the sunny view. It's just a nice watching experience. I want to learn to speak so eloquently. I also love how he...pick out things he notices in their conversations, "I love how you...said this and that". It's so nice.
In the beginning, he seemed to be having the impression that faith in Islam, is the same with any other faith, irrational and absurd, hence the whimsical opening he presented. I think our man has proved him wrong on that. Well, it's clear to me that he is an agnostic, and he is struggling to our inherent ignorance and lack of knowledge/understanding about reality, saying we don't know, we never know, and it's only increase the more we know. This probably indicates that he is unsure how to put his faith on the right faith, because he feel he would never know if it's the right one. The garden analogy he offered didn't work well, not only it didn't remove the necessity of a highest authority, it was also taking on the fringe multiverse theory. He said we see that garden or many gardens, but this analogy isn't reflected in our world; we can't see that universe or many universes. They're unobservable. So, in short, he seems to be saying that if we don't know everything for sure, and never know, it's better to wage for the unobservable multiverse than unobservable God. Even if it's unproven empirically, it's better to hold on the fringe thinking. The statement that all those chemicals would win in the end is, again, seems to be, scientism. I wish he could learn Islam and Quran more and better before deciding on the fringe science
12:45 This 'unfair lens' is actually the scientism when directed towards the 'supernaturals'. They simply won't believe scientism will ever fail them, and believe they will eventually win no matter what. Now if we shift the perspective a bit, imagine we come to present ourselves to our creation and demonstrate everything they wish for evidences, only to be rejected, what would you do? This can be observed if we create an AI experiment and simulate their sentience to an extent, which should in theory reflecting human bias as well. They may end up accuse that we have created an illusion, induced hallucinations, or unknown technology to manipulate their perceived reality, and whatnot in order to make them believe we're their creator. This is what happens when skepticism combined with hubris, which lead them to be denial and self-deceiving. They just can't sit with the fact that they're a creation subjects to a creator. The AI we create is our creation, this is the truth, but their conviction in scientism demands them to be skeptical and prefer their own crafted truth. Remember, it only takes one out of the ten signs of eschatological events for them to collapse, an unprecedented black swan event.
It's a lie. Why do you think the wars are between Islam ,Jewish, and Christian because it's a lie. This is why people can kill children with no remorse because they are just thinking people with lies witrren years ago.
i think it can be misleading to say that muslims have no issues with evolution. muslims clearly have an issue with the idea that human were apes and that they evolved from apes million years later (no evidence of transitional state from ape to humans BTW. dont worry fellow muslims :) this is a point in evolution that muslims reject. there are other things as well but im just gonna leave it here
The real question people should be asking is why are they doing what they are doing. What is the real reason. Not the reason everyone thinks but the actual reason why the string pullers are pulling the strings.
One thing I can say to all atheist who think like this, you are going about this the wrong way. If you truly want to know if God is real, pray. If prayer does nothing then you can say without a doubt God doesn't exist. What you do is truly believe that God is real and that he will send you a sign, then you can use your wits to determine if anything out of the ordinary happens. Trying to find God through your intelligence makes no sense because your mind can just reject or accept things according to your biases. Receiving God's grace and proof for His existence sits behind a paywall and what you pay with is faith. Let this question marinate in your mind, if hell exist why do I not make sure I'm not going there? then when see the evil in this world, know that they have a place in the after life.
sorry gideon the democracy of other countries has failed the palestinians do not expect Palestine to adopt the ideology that failed them from the start
Atheist willfully choose to stay blind to the design of the natural world. They see themselves as a intelligent designer of something but fail to see that their own body design also has a Designer.
At a time when the world seems to be forgetting about the plight of Palestinians, there’s such a dire need to have these conversations. Complicity is akin to enabling Genocide! It’s about time governments begin recognising the impact of conflicts, wars, etc. on the larger society
I love your content. Please post more regularly in order to build content and to be more relevant. Pls interview Dr. Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University on WW3
This guy is clearly trying to force his beliefs upon someone who's entitled to their Own! And worsted of all getting upset because he doesn't Agree with him WTH!!!!
Really amazing conversation. I’m glad someone is still following what’s happening in Palestine. A lot of people aren’t willing to give this anymore attention. Keep up the amazing work.
This man's bravery is commendable, but how strange is it that entire Muslim nations will not show this bravery! The greatest man and Messenger to walk this earth came amongst your midst with the perfect religion, yet forget abiding by the religion and stopping injustice to your own people, you are afraid to even damage relations with Israel! Until and unless you wake up and pledge to stop this cruelty under one banner, the blood of Palestinian men, women and children will be on your hands until the day of judgement. You will most definitely be held accountable, if not in this world, then the next. It it disappointing that this man is showing more Muslim qualities than the leaders of Muslim nations
I remember when the Caliph of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community mentioned in a sermon, after Josh Paul quit his job with the US State Department, that there are certainly still some people in influential positions who are willing to take moral stances. Morality and principles matter no matter what the cost is, and Josh Paul has shown this.
This is the guy who resigned from the state department, crazy! Wonderful to see him on the podcast! It seems the world is forgetting about Palestine, but it's amazing to see people are still fighting the good fight! I commend you Mr. Paul!
Real humans in touch with their conscience exist and are in huge numbers everywhere. Thank you for bringing such a fascinating guest with an inside POV - Not blinded by band-wagoneering the narrative, but a fighter for truth in his capacity.
The guest, Josh Paul, is a sensible and brave man indeed. More guests and voices like this on Review of Religions. More and more platforms like Review of religions, please!
If there were undeniable and sufficient proof of the existence of Allah, the scientific world would be in turmoil. All the major scientific journals, all the university faculties would fight to receive the genius behind the demonstration. All the talk-shows, the television news around the world, all the magazines on the planet would offer millions $ to the lucky person to have exclusive access to the story of his discovery. But nothing happens!
This is aetheism, "We don't know so we don't care even if our intellect tells us that there is a design and said design can never come by itself". In short, they just wanna enjoy their lives without caring for the purpose of it. I mean their own intelligence rejects their faith of 'no intellectual being'
