Sufficient Evidence for the Supernatural | Billy - Austin, TX | Atheist Experience 20.45 

Lesson to Billy: Don't argue for intelligent design, when you have no intelligence yourself.

This caller is a perfect example of a person who waits to talk instead of listens during a convo. Its a Passive form of ignorance.

"God and farting pixies are the same thing" - my favourite theist comment of all time!!!

"BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY'RE FARTING!?" -Billy, 2016

My sixth grade teacher said, "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." This caller has made that abundantly clear.

wow, billy needs to improve his listening skills. That felt like talking about acorns with a squirrel on cocaine.

Talking about farts with a straight face is true professionalism.

I’m always shocked by Billy’s aggressive ignorance, no matter how many times I listen.

“But how do you know they’re farting?” - asking the important theological questions

It always amazes me when people can see a flaw in an argument, and then use that same flawed logic to support their own. Mental gymnastics - must take years of training.

"How do you know they are farting?" LMFAO 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😝😵😵😵🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉😂😂😂😎😄

"I don't rule thing out, I only rule things in!" 🤔 Sounds like a genius.

I love the fact the Catholic church considers superstition to be a sin.

Billy is a living version of argument from incredulity.

Billy gave it a go, but bored the arse off of me, and probably both presenters as well. I've watched over 100+ of the Atheist Experience and no caller has even come CLOSE to proving their is a God. Not one..... God is exceptionally good at hiding if there is a God, or there is more than one of them.....

"God and farting pixies are the same thing." - Billy, Austin TX Just when I thought I understood the bible...

~ Three years later, and the theists keep on coming. 2019 and TAE remains interesting, important, and viable. Cheers, DAVEDJ ~

“God and farting pixies are the same thing” -The Prophet Billy

One of the frustrating things, besides Billy’s ignorance, is when he kept trying to butt in when the hosts are talking on THEIR show. I see this all the time with religious folk who call the The Atheist Experience. I keep yelling out loud, “Shut the f@&k up and listen!” I know you’re trying to hold on to your delusions Billy, but shut up and learn something. Lastly, ANYONE who calls into the Atheist Experience: it is their show and therefore, be respectful of the fact that you’re calling in to find out answers from the hosts…not to question them to death, not to preach (I really hate that one), and not to butt in every time they are in the middle of talking on their show. It just shows that you’re not listening and just waiting for your turn to talk/preach.

This is the “dude” guy. Has called many times. Drives me crazy.

"How do you know they're farting" so classic

Oh god.... I had just crossed the Rubicon to believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but it was the Universe Farting Pixies all along!!! If only I had all that money I sent Robert Tilton... *weeps*

"How do you know they're farting?!" 🤣😂🤪😂🤣🥴😭

‘It’s hard for me to grasp how things work, and it scares me that I don’t have the explanation for things, so I’m just going to settle on ‘God’ which explains nothing in reality but now I feel comforted and not scared anymore’

If there is no evidence for something (or alternative something) the answer is I don't know. Not claiming claiming an intelligence (which we have no evidence for) did it.

I love how people call in, try to redefine a term, and then base their argument on the new definition. It never works but they keep trying. As we say in the south, bless their hearts.

One of the better finishing monologues from Matt there,bravo.

The first grave misconception was the idea that supersymmetry had been disproven. It hasn‘t. It has just not been proven by experiments that according to certain strains of string theory should have been observable but weren’t. That surely was a setback for those particular strains of string theory, but even for those, it was a mere „call for refinement“, not a death sentence. And even string theory as a whole class of models isn‘t the only hypothesis that’s being discussed, and there‘s no way of telling whether the correct answer might be yet another naturalistic model we just haven‘t even come up with. In short, those experiments found that certain strains of a certain class of models were not viable in their current form. That’s hardly what I would call a „disproof of any natural cause“.

Damn those opposable thumbs and our ability to clutch at straws like this caller is doing. And what a sermon by Matt at the end!

Hey billy, so you know, the the fallcy starts when you say "Because we have ruled out X it must be Y" Until you can demonstrate that we are stuck with just those two options and therefore that one being wrong implies that the other one has to be right you cant make that argument without encountering a fallacy.

Got to luv the universe farting pixies.😅

"God and Farting Pixies are the same thing" - Billy

"But you don't know that they're farting though" - I'm dying here lolol

Damn! Dillahunty sneaks up from the past, and ups the ante on his ability to blow my mind! ;-) Well done!

Billy's a dangerous combination: strung out on drugs, and sooooo sure of himself and his knowledge. He reminds me of that character on In Living Color that strings together big words into meaningless sentences. Matt bitch-slapped him good.

I smile every time I hear a theist use quantum mechanics to justify their position.

Congratulations Billy you’ve become that one caller that I like to listen to when I want a good laugh

Here we go. Did I hear the caller say, "We don't have to define God or describe God. We can't. We have no evidence of (?) that." But he's happy to accept the existence of a supernatural designer.

Billy called in again yesterday and got ripped to shreds over his views on simulations 😂🍿

"You don't know that they're farting though"

"Where is your evidence that they're farting?"

Is there anyone else as good as Matt in these shows? He such a superstar with dealing with these people, I only watch if he's on.

Classic Exchange....WELL DONE!!!

Never thought I would hear a theist equate his God with farting pixies ;)

The Farts are Strong in Billy from Austin

This was an educational session. Brilliant!! 👍

“Arthur conan doyle fallacy” funny I always interpreted that as a warning not to dismiss possibilities just because they were improbable and actually conclusively rule it out rather than a viable way to reach the correct answer.

There have been times where I've been watching these videos and I'm screaming in my head helplessly, because I know why the caller isn't understanding and what the hosts should be saying to make them grasp the concepts and points being expressed to them. Sometimes it's just noticing an issue like the caller missing a fundamental fact that the hosts haven't driven home, and that the call is pointless until the caller realizes and accepts that fact. For example, Billy's reasoning leads me to believe doesn't grasp that to claim something has been demonstrated to an empirical standard, like the universe required an INTELLIGENT creator, that it's not good enough to appeal to philosophical possibility (something is possible because it hasn't been shown to be impossible), you have to actually show that it's empirically possible. If Matt drove that point home and wouldn't permit Billy to move on until he showed he understood that concept and accepts it as necessary, then either Billy would admit his "argument" and "proof" are fallacious, or he'd stubbornly refuse to give up his biased belief and Matt could save more time by telling Billy to go fly a kite. There needs to be more emphasis on not giving these dickheads the time of day if they're not going to accept the superior and demonstrable standards of logic, reason and empirical standards over feelings and "personal experiences". If they're just gonna stick to the lazy and narcissistic notion that their demonstrably fallacious opinions and "arguments" are equal/reliable to truly credible methods, then they don't deserve attention & validation and go enjoy the echo chamber of talking to other theists and charlatan apologists until they give up their biases and agree to give up their inferior ways of reasoning. Some opinions are objectively fallacious and shouldn't be tolerated. I refuse to allow any theist to get away with the cultivated appearance of being rationally justified, because they aren't and don't deserve respect and veneration. Sure it's a form of elitism, but dammit if we let the bar be lowered by these chumps, then it becomes harder and harder to keep the well free of poison. Compromising and allowing people to comfortably hold irrational beliefs is a contributing factor to why there's anti-vaxxer medical PROFESSIONALS and strong support that Creationism should not only be taught in schools, but in SCIENCE classes. They and their ridiculous beliefs are a cancer to academia and respectable thought and it's high time we stop indulging and force them to comply with proper standards. If they refuse, they don't get to participate in any science and medical fields. Which is fine by me because they don't deserve to be there. I don't subscribe to the polite idea that everyone is entitled to believe whatever they want. If I have to share a world with you, then you are not permitted to comfortably hold irrational beliefs, and you are especially not permitted to express them out loud without being challenged to properly justifying them. I would expect nothing less from myself and actual scientists/scholars, so there's no fucking way I'm giving these lazy and ignorant turds a pass.

God is the hide n seek champ for 13.6 billion years.

The cluck and gobble is strong with this one.

Why is it that most theists who call in simply don't argue well?

Any minute now "larry crabcakes" will start spewing his nonsense in the comments section

Just when it starts to get funny Matt hangs up on them.

In all fairness, Sherlock Holmes flat out says that his record is far from perfect, and that he's annoyed that Watson only ever writes about his most sensational cases (the narrative framework of the entire series), which he's usually able to figure out (and even then he's still occasionally unable to catch the culprit).

RU-vid is on a roll recommending Billy videos today.

The supernatural is the result of a word game. The words "beyond," "time" and "space" exist prior to the commencement of the game. The player assembles the words into a sentence. The player may then claim the sentence reflects reality without proof.

This person never listens. Every time I have heard him, he is talking continuously while the hosts are talking.

So...........god is a farting Pixie? Man, I'd love to read THAT Bible.

There are multiple AXP videos with Billy if you can handle them.

"God and farting pixies are the same thing." -Billy This is an object lesson in why we, as a species, are doomed. There are many, many more Billys than there are Matts.

Had a LONG debate about the resurrection with a fundy. He had the book "Evidence that Demands a Verdict". I listened to his explanations of not drugged Jesus, Roman guards, no stolen body, etc. When he finished I said, "You missed one possibility of why the body was gone!" "What was that?" he asked. "Fast Maggots!!" Guy never talked to me again.

An intelligent designer must have a more intelligent designer to design him, and .................

Farting Pixies bless you, and Farting Pixies bless the United States of America!

Just out of curiosity, I’m wondering if anyone from AXP has debated or debunked Deepak Chopra and/or his worldview? He is another purportedly enlightened ‘believer’ or spiritualist who strikes me as a bit of a con man.

Bloody Sherlock Holmes... "when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?" That one quote pretty much explains the single biggest fallacy creationists use...

This is why I wholeheartedly reject the argumentation approach. It serves as nothing more than irritating and ludicrous folly; the outcome is _always_ sophistry and illogic.

It's people like Billy who believe that 'they' have the answers, and that everyone else should just agree with them without question, and if we 'do' question them, they get hostile and defensive, of which then, they shut down any ability to communicate, because they aren't willing to consider ALL of the possibilities that don't include the supernatural. It's their way and that's it. The facts and reason be damned.

How is it possible in 2020 to still believe in magic and an invisible man in the sky ? I know where not genetically different from 2000 years ago but with all of our knowledge and education how can we still believe in a god ?

This dude is a self centered know it all. He won't listen and only goes back to his unfounded claims. He has a "God complex" just as many religious do. He was better off just saying he believes in faith.

Billy is wound up tighter than a banjo string. I think he will be OK though after he takes his meds. Sounds like he missed a couple doses.

Trying to talk fast is often a sign of being wrong.

No not Billy again, you would think by now he would of learned how to make a coherent point, perfect example of no filter between brain and mouth, he is missing the "stupid idea filter" and will buy in to absolutely any nonsense!! How perfect is his syllogism now i wonder ?

Why do these people talk? They hear A SINGLE THING and think that is absolute truth.

How can you listen to your entire argument being destroyed so thoroughly to the point where you assist in its destruction, and still not accept that you're wrong, but continue to bicker about it?

Why do you think physicists build farticle pixelerators?

this guy drops sciency sounding words that he can barely pronounce, much less understand, the way someone name drops in a really glaring gauche way

This guy must have read a Marvel comic, as he seems to think he has a complete grasp of particle physics and quantum mechanics.

Billy almost always gets hung up on because he starts with some idiotic premise and refuses to change his argument even slightly throughout the call.

Good stuff

There is the truth and then there is everything else.

I think the Supernatural by definition does not exist for one reason: if you demonstrate a supernatural event , like, say, telepathy or telekinesis, and your demonstration is real and true, you just moved those phenomena into the natural world, so they are no longer supernatural, even if we can't explain them yet.

The desperation in the callers voice.....just sad.

Heaven will be filled with shallow thinkers, apparently.

"Universe farting pixies" had me laughing so hard I was crying! Thanks!!!

Why is he still calling? Hasn't he been humiliated enough in his previous calls ?

I can smell Billy from here!

this has to be a world record for number of times you got a christian to say farting pixie

🤔 so. There is no proof of god. 🤔 so. There is no proof that there isn't. A god. 🤔 & it gose on & on& on...

if a person who has lived their entire life in the woods sees a tree for the 1st time hel say its supernatural. Get a degree jeez

It's just another one of those, "If I don't understand it, then how can it be so" arguments.

8:30 "..it can't be said to be impossible... (a pix farts).

William Mills aka Billy from Texas makes a fool of himself every single time.

What's a shame is that Bill didn't learn anything after this call was made. He's still an advocate for "Intelligent" Design.

My farts are very intelligent. They know precisely how to inflict the greatest amount of damage.

The hill he wants to die on is "you don't know they're farting" .... wow.

Science never rules things in, it rules things out

Not sure he said intelligent design but even if he only said design, that implies intelligence so.

How dare you call my farts unintelligent!

Matt's talk from 8:16 is brilliant

Newtonian mechanics is certainly not wrong. It just doesn't tell the whole story in all circumstances. It can still allow you to plot complex, convoluted space probe journeys through the Solar System with great accuracy. It got Apollo to the moon.
