Thank you for the warning, Aron. I'd just started the video, but stopped it as I began to read your description. I don't think I care to listen to listen to it, unless you think it's funny.

@@inyobill All the interesting people are in hell and hosting the best parties (according to Mr. Batman) so I don't understand what the "threat" is.

❤👍 same here!

This is just more of the same basic argument. that you get from all religious people. they pose a law, or theory, or a fact. but when you try to give them the answer to any of the these things. they change the subject. what they do is so predictable, that just a few minutes into the conversation, or debate, or a discussion. it circles back around to the god faulousy. without any solid, tangible, bona fide, evidence. Just a heaping helping of word salad. and the only thing you can depend on, is that they will prove nothing. it's really quite disappointing because you are hoping that they will make a point. that will give you something to ponder, but instead it's nothing again.

@Teflon Don Good strawman. Whats a nothing, and who's invoking it? Because what you described isn't even the same ballpark as what the theory to account for the current state of things existing. I mean, I agree, you are comparing a story with magic and wizards and talking animals to be on the same page as a reasoned explanation to account for the data, but sure, call scientific theory (which has competitors worthy of the name theory) something on the same page as a fairytale. Find me a scientist that asserts 'nothing' is possible and you'd actually have a point. How would you show the possibility of a 'nothing', since you're invoking it?

@Teflon Don perhaps you're not to grips with propositional logic, Don, thats something that can be remedied with some reading, its not a flaw, who wants to read boring old logic, but theres so much problematic with your statement! You're using an 'absence' to define a substance. We define things by the properties they HAVE, not by what they lack. Whats a property of a nothing? How can you have a 'prior to everything beginning'? Interestingly, I don't 'accept' the big bang model, cosmologists have alternatives, but that doesn't matter here, with the BB model, theres T(ime increments), and when it = 1 we have the inflation event, and when t=0 , there could effectively be one fragment of approaching T=1 that extends to infinity due to the nature of the singularity... or an infinite amount of 'time' in a single 'moment', paradoxically, stretching. To put a Genie (which is about as good an example of an 'intelligent supernatural agent' as any other) at the top, and without showing his magic to us but claiming that a genie 'explains' everything is the opposite of making things clear. You need to produce the genie before anyone would be justified in saying 'ok, a genie did it'. (The competition model to the 'Big Bang' includes essentially multiple 'big bangs' like bubbles at the bottom of a pot of boiling water, but you didn't ask about that) Nothing is a placeholder for a HUMAN CONCEPT of emptyness. Its not a THING we can point to that exists. This genie of yours may be in the same category?

@Teflon Don I'm sorry Don, I don't mean to insult you but you have missed my meaning entirely, and that may be my fault. First, I don't believe in the big bang, 2nd there are alternatives (essentially multiple singularitys) but I'm saying you don't quite get the meaning I meant, and you are putting what I called a genie at the top in a way that ISN'T justified. Its begging the question, its putting the cart before the horse its wishful thinking, its saying you WANT a genie to be at the top when pressed the only answer for how the supernatural works will be to abdicate responsibility in demonstrating a mechanism how. Its a NON explanation and raises more questions than you claim to think it answers. >"Life cannot arise from inanimate objects by itself naturally ..... " that is not supported by evidence. In fact we can, with water heat and sometimes light, essentially disprove that one. You appear to have difficulty believing simple life can form from chemical compounds in ideal conditions, but you're on shaky grounds to declare it impossible.

@Teflon Don Short version: No you're using a different meaning of no-thing, which I would never invoke; I'd say that to talk about a time 'before time' is non-sensical, and NO ONE can talk about that time coherently. You get it now?

@Teflon Don That doesn't work to a methodology specifically made for removing bias (science) where only what is INDICATED can be allowed. The very obvious accusation that can be that you WANT there to be a magic genie at the top of the pyramid so you're willing to jump through hoops to 'let' there be one there. You have to show there is the possibility that a god/genie/non-sentient universe creating toaster in the first place before the premise of invoking one as causal agent has any ground to stand on, and that remains an issue, possibly because there is no toaster/genie/god. > Wouldn't the supernatural fit at the top by default? I don't think you're using the same meaning of the word supernatural as me, so that could be worth discussing, but this leap isn't supported by POSITIVE data, and this moves it to the realm of fancy. It underpins the issue inherent in all other logic derived from this premise. Until you show that there IS a supernatural, and I don't think we can agree on what that word means, as I equate it as 'impossible nonsense magic' for all its power to explain things, then you have no justification for slotting it into an explanation for other things like the origins of matter. >I mean......No one has ever proved life arising from inanimate object naturally This idea is interesting! Did you know that medieval thinkers/doctors actually thought that was how mould and insects emerged? Obviously false of course, but there you go. But I can actually lead you though the concept in a way that you can understand. From the looks of it, the most important thing for life is water and energy (heat). If you want a manifestation of god, 'water' is the form most pleasing to 'him', it would seem. What life IS is a series of repeating, replicating chemical strands, in a series of stable containers that appear to have developed consciousness. Wild, I know, but not impossible to map or graph. Theres a LOT I'd have to lead you through, but if you can grasp the science of how a plant 'works', drawing energy from the sun, you're getting close to what you need for the rest of the process. Plants are TECHNICALLY very complex, just incredibly simple compared to us, so its not EASY to understand, but I think you could when you look at how clorophil cells work (taking energy from the sun), you can't deny the process at work that evidently seems to be a 'stable chemical reaction that uses (and SEEKS) reagents to maintain the ongoing reaction of converting energy and water into a slightly different form/compound. If you can grasp how plants 'work', although we are orders of MAGNITUDE more complicated, we are very inclined to see the chain that leads from plants and single-celled organisms to more mobile and complicated beings. Edit: yes you had heard of spontaneous generation, apologies. The current model has DNA emerging as a byproduct of RNA, which is self-replicating. BECAUSE although it is not alive/living, but it IS a self-replicating compound, this IS sufficient to reasonably conclude as the 'most likely' culprit of lifes origins, since once it begins to self-replicate, the chances of 'copying errors' become inevitable. No need for magic at all!

@Olivares Silviano that's a joke right? Whether or not it's a joke is only relevant because what you're saying doesn't make any sense. The assertion that everything is in the Bible is completely false and easily demonstrated as such. But even if it were not false, that still wouldn't mean the Bible contains nothing but truth, accurate statements and depictions of historical events. It's a storybook. a picture of the mindset of men of that time displaying their lack of understanding regarding the world around them. And a picture that clearly shows that the book is not divinely inspired by any stretch of the imagination. The men who composed the writings that collectively make up the Bible could not see beyond their little corner of the world and could not Envision that in the future people would learn these unfounded assertions had no discernible basis and that their written claims about the natural world are easily proven to be laughably false. Fallacious reasoning is the only way anyone can hold on to any of the Bible's claims as true. all sorts of circular logic and special pleading are required because reality does not even remotely support such nonsense.

Age of Fable by Thomas Bulfinch says a lot of things too. It doesn't mean I should convert to a religion that believes in mythology. LOL.

@Olivares Silviano I'd discussing the Bible or God leads to physical and emotional turmoil, then I have no room or time for it. Religion is one of the most destructive things in the 21st Century.

@Olivares Silviano Agreed. Theists cannot prove God. They just do a tap dance around the issue and try to thrust the burden of proof or any iota onto the Atheist. They have no basis for presenting evidence. They don't know what evidence is and they can' prove God. They just claim things. They live in cuckoo land.

Circular reasoning

I'm still finding it hard to hold onto the fact that Aron is almost 60.

I guess the failure of his heart proves intelligent design ???

An atheist is someone who doesn't believe in a God, so he started of saying he was a christian for about 40 years and then he told that he was around 59 so that means that until his 19-20th year he was an atheist (which means he didnt believe in a God) or at least he was an atheist from his teens until his late teens just because he was at a rebelious age of not wanting anyone to tell him what to do or whatever, so stop with that nonsense every comment says about that, yeah there might be some people that lie so that they can affect the other debater but in that case they are not even worth debating too since they are not an actual Christian because Christians dont lie.

If someone says "I use to be an atheist" they were never actually an atheist. If someone says "I use to be 6'2" But now they are 7'1, that means they use to be 6'2, it doesn't mean they actually never was 6'2.

David Goliath funny considering he isnt doing jack shit with coronavirus right now Oh wait. It’s god’s plan for a giant pandemic to happen and kill thousands; maybe millions of people around the world with no vaccine ready to combat it yet.

David Goliath god creates everything. So god created coronavirus. In Isaiah, there’s a passage that goes “i am darkness. I am light. I create good. I create evil. I the lord do all these things” That passage alone defeats everything you have said and will say if you do respond. Because it’s confirmed in the bible that god is responsible for the bad shit happening. If god were so powerful, then god should just thanos-snap evil away. But nah. God’s clearly weak.

David Goliath there have been shitty politicians and leaders for centuries. Wanna go way back? I can. King Henry VIII Nero Vlad Dracul Hitler Mao Kim Il Sung I can go on and on The removal of religion in school curriculum has NOTHING to do with corrupt politics. By your logic, denmark should be anarchy since it’s one of the least religious countries in the world.

David Goliath also, if you wanna go the route of “wickedness” then let’s not forget who flooded the planet, decimated cities, endorsed slavery, kills the LGBT, kills atheists, kills idol worshippers, kills followers of other faiths, kills unruly children, kills adulterers, and punishes rape victims by marrying their rapist.

I know an atheist who believes in the afterlife, so it's easy to convince them that a god exists.

@Juno Donat Good words Thanks. Atheism isn't true or right. It is just a position of not finding purported evidence of any value.

@Einstien Brown Except when their claimed belief is contrary to the way they live their life.

@Einstien Brown sure, I'm just saying that I think he lies to people as means to be more relatable to atheists and to try to gain sympathy points. I can't prove it, it's just what I think based on his interaction with aronra.

@@noonespecial6537 I was speaking of the Laws of Thermodynamics as a whole. The First Law is a particular case when cited in isolation. It may operate in either an open or closed system. The Second Law (the one Creationists are so fond of citing) can only operate in a closed system. The Third Law follows from the Second Law as they both deal with entropy in closed systems.

@@noonespecial6537 Time began at the singularity of the Big Bang. Material energy has therefore existed for all time. Whether we are counting all time or all time plus one as eternity would govern the definition of eternity. Which form of semantics suits your argument?

@@noonespecial6537 If that is the case, then he was overstepping the mark. You would have to check with him exactly what he was claiming in reference to material energy. I was taking it to mean electromagnetic energy. Assertions which lack factual support will always remain assertions. Eternity and infinity are not quantifiable by definition.

@@noonespecial6537 I have no doubt you are correct. Aron gets himself into trouble on occasion when he is led to areas far beyond his field of expertise. He appeared to be well out of his depth when arguing philosophy at Southwestern Baptist Seminary in 2017. Another person in that position may have more wisely walked away. Unfortunately, egos come into play. There will always be a faster gun. It does make for interesting spectator sport though.

@@Simon.the.Likeable Hi, there's a few things I want to clea rup here regarding thermodynamics: Regarding thermodynamics in general: The laws and equations in thermodynamics are homogenous and subject to superposition only in isolated systems, NOT closed systems. As a rule of thumb: Open systems allow interaction with outside matter, aswell as energy exchange with outside systems. Closed systems do not allow for matter interaction, but does allow energy interaction. Isolated systems do not allow any of those. Regarding the first law of thermodyn: The law itself doesn't really state anything about energy being "eternal" or anything, and Aron got that one a bit wrong aswell, but that's a very common misconception. The law simply states that the total inner Energy of a system remains constant and is the sum of Heat energy and Work Energy. This is because isolated systems do not allow for energy exchange, so the energy can't go to or come from anywhere. Regarding the second law of thermodyn: This one is a bit trickier since it introduces a new variable; Entropy. Generally, entropy is understood as a value for the "disorder" of a system. Now, while it sounds a bit mystical, all it really says, from a statistical standpoint, is that in macroscopic thermodynamical systems, the chance of finding a large number of particles in the exact same spot is *extremely* small. This is further affected by the amount of heat and work energy within the system. This rule does NOT apply to microscopic systems. Regarding the beginnings of the universe: While the exact mechanics are unknown, the singularity hypothesis is a bit outdated. Statistical mechanics offers a superior explanation by showcasing that massive fluctuations in entropy in local microscopic systems can spontaneously trigger a spacetime expansion, which would explain the initial low entropy state of the early universe.

TheNeutralCat You know that’s a very poetic way of putting it. In fact I actually do believe we came from a rock in a sense. I’ve always said that the amazing thing about evolution is it was how chemicals figured out how to get up and walk around.

TheNeutralCat I got it but if you want to express what we actually know about the origins of the universe and life saying we believe life came from a Rock is a pretty poetic way of putting it. Likewise “everything came from nothing “ is a nice phrase. Particularly if followed by “and nothing isn’t what it used to be”. 😁

My dad called me one day and gave me Inmate # 06452-017's _"they think we evolved from a rock"_ line. I asked him if rocks have kids.

Just another special pleading of the religious, nothing special really

I love those massive leaps of logic because there are somewhat amusing, but I also find them incredibly frustrating because there are usually so many of those leaps in an apologists arguments that they are pretty much impossible to keep up with. They don't need to stick to logical reasoning, so they are free to gish gallop all over the conversation, and there is never enough time to say "waiiiiit a second" and call them out on them.

He probably means that a doctor explained it to him and basically told him what caused the heart attack or took some biology book and read from there what the circulatory system is so that he knows why he was having a heart attack.

@@lightman9935 Because there are thousands of "beliefs" all claiming to know how stuff works. Negating all the other beliefs. That alone should be evidence for them their own claims are based on personal projection and feefees and not ever on evidence. And why mock? Because it amuses me to mock stupid ideas. All religions are lies.

@@GeorgeSaint666 calling things lies just because you are ignorant isnt a wise action. All atheists try to bring up that nonsensical argument about the thousands religions and millions of gods, without ever investigating on anything and just spouting utter nonsense just because they want to sound smart. First of, Christians (1 of the 2 most believed religions ever) is a ''counterpart'' of the other most believed religion ever (Islam) then theres Judaism but its covering sth like 1% of the population so i dont count it. So one of those 2 religions have to be the true religion because of the vast majority that believes in them. If we wanna compare those 2 by facts we have Christianity with a lot o credible information about Jesus's existence and also we have information about eye witnesses of the miracles Jesus did as well as the verification of his Revival. Now on the other hand although Christianity and Islam both have as their foundation Judaism, Islam lacks a lot , and i mean a lot, whether that is moral standards, their traditions of hitting women etc etc lead to Christianity being the religion with the most answers about the reality of the world and have actual sources to back them up. If thats not enough for you try reading the whole Bible, then Read the Quran and decide for yourself. If you dont have that much ''free time'' then look videos on youtube on what every major religion believes in like watch a Chritian scholar, then a Muslim, then a hundu and decide for yourself.

@@lightman9935 No indeed not a counter part. christianity evolved from several older religions that predated it. Ignorant much?

@@GeorgeSaint666 Chrisitanity is the ''evolution '' of Judaism, and Islam is a fake continuation of those 2.I know my stuff brother, you are the one who is ignorant by talking for things you havent searched on your own and you are hanging from the words of others, like Aron Ra for example.

Lost your shit...I would have started hurling mine at him. What a jerk. 😡

Interesting. That's something to ponder... is Atheism something that must be arrived at, or is it a default position? In the future, if Humanity (hopefully) finally and fully rejects mythology, will those people be Atheists by default or are they something else? Does someone have to be presented with the concept of a deity and reject that deity before they're an Atheist?

@@ejcarter9 It depends on where you start. Children make up all kinds of fanciful things, but that's just the mind developing and trying to figure things out. Once a person gets past that childhood phase, it depends on their mindset and level of indoctrination growing up, so it covers the entire spectrum. I suppose I could claim to have been a "believer" when I was growing up but, thankfully, had next to no indoctrination, so it was very easy to arrive at atheism. I accepted the general concept of a "god", but wouldn't say I was a 'true christian', so hadn't really bought into it at such an emotional level that finding out I was wrong was so traumatic that I couldn't accept it. Others get so emotionally tied up in it, or are so resistant to learning critical thinking skills that it's hard for them to abandon what makes them feel good. _"Does someone have to be presented with the concept of a deity and reject that deity before they're an Atheist?"_ -- That all depends on your definition of atheist. When theists argue that they "used to be an atheist", I don't believe they are using this definition. I think what they mean is that they used to be indifferent to the concept, or they used to reject organized religion, but they never actively examined the concept of the supernatural and determined that the evidence was lacking. They try to use their indifference to religion as a false comparison to someone like us who actively seek out the pros and cons and make the conscious decision that there is no compelling evidence to support the claims. Then, once they get emotionally attached to the idea of being so special that the creator of the universe personally cares about them, or some "moral authority" just happens to have the same bigotries and prejudices that they want to embrace but are too self-conscious to openly hold on their own, they fall deeper down the hole of delusion.
