Michael Knowles: I went to Yale
Ben Shapiro: I went to Harvard
Matt Walsh: I went to high school
"Welp, now I can say I've been to college...."
Matt Walsh is smart nevertheless.
@@RogerCanda probably smarter than the other two _because_ he didn’t go to college
Ben: and now you work for me
These days a degree from and ivy league school probably makes you less logical and intelligent.
This episode has now spurred the great question, “What is a doctor?”
A doctor is the one who "guesses" gender at birth and makes the assignment.
Someone with a doctorate or PHD
We can never know what a doctor is, but Ben's wife is one!
Doctor Who?
@@briancasey4917noone guesses anything. Is there a penis or a vagina? Less than 1% have a problem.
I love that even after so many episodes of this game, Michael still has a hard time 1.) explaining the rules to his guest, 2.) understanding the rules for himself.
always 4 questions in 'so i'm trying to guess how you would respond...?'
That is my favorite part is he has such a hard time explaining it to the guest and even to himself, haha
Someone else commented, you love you have to drink, you win you get to drink.
He does it to make his guests feel more comfortable. No newbie likes going up against a pro.
This is just the game “I win” from the Big Daddy movie
This type of content can't be found anywhere else. This is why I watch DW. This casual format, face to face. Talking about Jesus with a drink in hand.
I love this.
Yes, I know it’s very nerdy to say this, but I feel like I’m in the room with them and I love it!
If you lose you have to drink, but if you win you get to drink.
Ah yes, the best drinking game
I understand the rules now! Many thanks good sir!
Those are the only correct rules.
Ahhhh, the name of the game is "I win" because the rules say I either have to drink or get to drink, that's a no loss scenario right there.
That made me laugh out loud for real 😂
@@RogueFamilyAdventures is it "I drink, therefore I win", or is it "I win, therefore I drink"? That is the question.
Yep, Descartes vs Shakespeare. DW needs to make it happen
I would watch several hours of Michael and Ben respectfully discussing their religions like this. I've always been curious about how people who genuinely care about someone that believes something potentially in opposition to your own beliefs interact and feel like these two are the type of people to take the opposing arguments and actually do some homework on them afterwards.
Actually, Judaism and Christianity ARE NOT opposites.
@@anitabrown8254 Not directly, no, but the biggest difference is an essential one. Whether or not Jesus is God. When two religions disagree on the most fundamental point, they necessarily can't both be "true", for lack of a better term. Shared values only get you so far when you believe someone you care about is destined for eternal damnation.
I was going to post the same comment. The discussion about the ark of the covenant was pure gold. "Ben & Michael drink and discuss religion" would be my new favorite podacst.
@@namelessminionveinreaver3763
Christianity holds that Judaism is incomplete. Not false. Because if Judaism is false, so is Christianity.
And Muslims say Christians get the details wrong (in that Jesus was a mere prophet who was not crucified).
@@amyj4283 As Ben said, he dont think Jesus is prophesied in the old testament, like most jews believe that the Messiah will be a political figure, not a saviour like Jesus.
I love this stupid game. The more they push these episodes the funnier this whole game/bit becomes.
My favorite part is ‘you got it right, reward is a sip. You got it wrong, in consolation have a sip!’
The guy who won is the guy with the least left in his cup
As the game box says "2 to 9 players" they should have one with all the DW Hosts.
LoL Aye its like a cross between trivial pursuit, cleudo, poker and draughts with drinks.
@@Pikawarps my favorite part is that they're are so effeminate and so concerned with what their ideal man is
I would really love to see more historical bible content between both of you!
I would love to see more of the lady who poured the drinks.
*(Unless it's Michael in a dress)
You want to learn from two people who one is definitely not saved and the other is questionable at this point? That's strange.
@@EVLS10 Must you be saved to learn and teach history? Believing in Jesus is by faith, not by knowledge. I desire more knowledge of history to better understand the context of the stories I read, not to convince me of the truth of Jesus. The Holy Spirit helps the righteous discern. The more we know about God, the more we realize we do not know and the more we hunger to know Him.
@Ben O Brien Can never be too careful with catholics.
The dynamic between Micheal and Ben is hilarious
#Synergy
20:37 - not an expression on Shapiro's face I ever thought I'd witness
Especially the women question
@@kayla_white01 you are out to lunch, and let me guess: gay.
@@kayla_white01 guess what? Not everything's about sex. You're welcome
“Are they perhaps turning the frogs gay?” Absolutely killed me 🤣🤣🤣
Won't you please please PLEASE just think of the frogs!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same 😂
It seems like Knowles has gotten funnier and funnier over the years. I cracked up at “nephilim, I hardly know em.”
He certainly has loosened up on camera. I feel like he is becoming more himself on camera.
I really want to see Michael do an episode exposing seed oils.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed -isaiah 53:5
Amen
"the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed..."
Sorry, I don't see it. No peace, no healed wounds. Either he died for nothing, or it ever happened.
@@AllAhabNoMoby Yet He fully paid the price. He has healed many who believed on Him. He has saved many who believed on Him. Therefore, those who believe on the Lord Jesus Will experience this salvation.
trans... gressions...
@@AllAhabNoMobyAll who are in Christ have peace with God, where before there was enmity because their sins are forgiven, they are fully healed. It all has already been achieved on the cross, as prophesied in Isaiah 53. It is fully true now spiritually, and it will finally be externally manifested at Jesus’ glorious second coming to this earth.
When Ben said “we produced a game with your name on it?” I laughed so hard
The dichotomy/paradox of the whole convo for me was, “I was fat, but my body fat percentage was lower”🤯 Michael defied biology with his brain😂
I think he means that he gained muscle, but it didn't look defined or appealing, he just looked chunkier in clothes😂 but if he gained 20lbs, the DEFINITELY gained at least some fat😂
It happened to me last year. I looked fat in pictures but I was going to the gym more than ever.
Yep! I was mulling over that one myself. 🤔
@@lilianamunoz3003 calorie intake
@@lilianamunoz3003 and looking fat isn’t unhealthy as long as it’s muscle the worlds strongest man looks fat
I find it hilarious how Michael is slow and smooth talking and Ben is sitting there just waiting to jump in to his points. Hilarious!
and how impatient he gets with Michael winding up to his point
The Arc of The Covenant is in a big government warehouse Indiana Jones showed us that
But if it’s in a secret warehouse, why are they showing the secret warehouse in Indiana Jones?
No one have the arc of the covenant I think Ron Wyatt fond it in the early 80's but could not retrieve it
@Ben O Brien No it was stolen from the old temple….I heard/read a report it might be in an orthodox church in Ethiopia
@@femaleKCRoyalsFan because it’s the last place we would expect it to be _precisely because_ they showed us in an Indian jones film. Reverse psychology. George Lucas is obviously a government agent with a high security clearance, tasked with making propaganda under the guise of entertainment, specifically to confuse us on its whereabouts, because it is clearly a super weapon, as shown in the film.
Jesus is Jewish. The color of His skin is unimportant. Christians can love and follow a Jewish Messiah, God wants a diverse family, Jews and Gentiles. I love watching/listening to intelligent conversations when people show respect and humility, so refreshing. This is my first time watching this series and I truly love it. Thank you for showing a real conversation without insults and derogatory statements. Truly refreshing.
So just for anyone wondering; Orthodox Jews are allowed to consume alcohol in moderation. Many of you seem to be forgetting how important wine is in their culture.
Muslims are the ones who can’t drink at all.
So Jews may drink but they cannot get drunk (just like Christians should be adhering to).
Whiskey has a long connection to Jewish tradition, and most whiskey is considered naturally Kosher and is the most commonly consumed hard liquor by Jews. That’s why Ben is drinking it.
However, alcoholism is not racist nor discriminates. I was so grateful when Dick Van Dyke addressed his addiction openly and got sober.
@@Juliet475 um…how did you get to racism…I don’t understand.
There is no explicit prohibition in Orthodox Jewry against getting drunk. In general, there is drinking for ritual purposes, and everything in life is meant to be enjoyed in appropriate moderation.
@@TK-xh1xc “Be not among drunkards or among gluttonous eaters of meat, for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and slumber will clothe them with rags.”
-Proverbs 23:20-21.
"Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks, who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine. They have harps and lyres at their banquets, tambourines and flutes and wine, but they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD, no respect for the work of his hands."
-Isaiah 5:11
“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise.”
-Proverbs 20:1
The Old Testament strongly speaks against drunkenness and the abuse of alcohol.
Wine is mandatory is Jewish religious rituals and feasts, but any form of intoxication or inebriation is strongly looked down upon and considered sinful.
I didn't know people weren't aware of this. Isn't wine a really important part of stuff like Passover?
Honestly, the seed oil debate is perhaps the greatest health issue facing the West today. It's impossible to escape, as Michael says, and the detriments are enormous.
no need to be so dramatic how about just eat whole foods?
Because "the detriments are enormous" and "impossible to escape" reasonably.
Cutting out seed oils literally made me feel superhuman. Felt like my torso was glowing with health.
I'm reliably informed that the ark of the covenant is in a wooden crate in a gigantic warehouse.
Top Men
I remember watching a show years ago (probably total bs, idk), where a guy was looking all over for the ark of the covenant, and he finally made his way to a locked up compound surrounded by barbed wire that was constantly patrolled by dudes with ak47s. The translator said the ark was kept inside, which was a well-known fact to the guards and others in the area, and no one is allowed to see it or get near the entrance under any circumstances.

@@Ace_Man_Gaming Sounds like he made his way to an ISIS base. There were probably drugs and allah snackbars inside.
@@Ace_Man_Gaming I both hope, and assume that is true. There is a serious melting/exploding hazard for anyone who peeks inside.
I would genuinely love to watch a long, no holds barred, bare knuckled religious debate between these two.
This show should go on forever. Keep it up Mike, good work. Ben likes Viking Jesus, I have now lived.
Anyone know what that prayer is?
Every time I watch these I’m reminded of the challenge of wits on Princess Bride
I knew Michael loved talking about seed oil cause he brings it up on the show! They r so complimentary of each other but I think Michael is hilarious ever since he did that escape room and was dancing and singing. He's a hoot!
Grandpa Knowles is going to be the fun grandpa
Ben pretends to hate Knowles but every time Knowles is brought up Ben’s face lights up with joy
Klavan having to worry about hell for his conversion was hilarious!
Always enjoy seeing two men that are at least friendly with eachother if not sincere friends (I don't know them personally) who disagree on certain beliefs and opinions but still have an enjoyable time playing a thought provoking game that stirs discussion.
That McCartney impression was spot on lol
Can't argue with the logic either. I never liked the whole "lose your inhibitions man" shtick. Inhibitions will keep you from doing really stupid stuff
Catholics might believe that "Mary is the new arc..." but I don't think protestants believe that AT ALL.
I am Nigerian living in Nigeria but I love the daily wire. God bless you all.
I love Nigeria and Nigerians. I hope to visit some day. I've met so many amazing people from there.
Blessings from the States!
@@VVeremoose much love from here
As a Protestant married to a catholic I loved the shade thrown at the Protestant who may have written the question 😂😂 100% my husband and I when discussing religion lol
What was the nonsense he was spouting about Mary being the new ark of the covenant??? Like please say catholic not Christian cuz I don't want to be lumped into that asinine thought. 😂
@@joshydep84 because the Word of God was carried in the ark. And Jesus is the Word incarnate. Mary carried the Word in Flesh, so yes. Mary is the new ark of the Covenant
@@joshydep84 They both did the same thing, the old Ark carried Word of God (Ten Commandments), the bread of life (Mana from heaven), and the rod of Arron (High Priest), the new Ark carried Jesus Christ who was all three of these. When in Revelation Saint John looks at the ark of the Covenant he sees instead a woman wearing a crown with twelve points giving birth to a savior that would slay the dragon. This is another reference to Mary as the Ark of the Covenant.
@@joshydep84 Many Protestants (myself included) believe that. Don't be so quick to embarrass yourself.
@@lausdeo4944 I believe everyone deserves the space for flawed thought. Enjoy that one.
I love this game so much and have been waiting for this match up for so long! This is awesome!
I haven’t watched this game before, but now I’m hooked! I love how much fun you both have! Watching from Australia 🇦🇺
I played this game with a few other Knowles fans. Super fun! We had to table some discussions in the interest of time.
I'd love to see Michael and Ben further discuss voting and religious artifacts.
More Catholic/Jewish debates please!!
I'm thinking of putting this on my wishlist for my 21st birthday. But, I'm wondering, are all the cards that come in it more generic and targeted for a wider audience? Or are most of them political based questions like the ones that make Michael and Ben go into deep philosophical thoughts? I wouldn't want them to all be too generic and lame but I also wouldn't want them to be too specific to the point that they don't resonate with most people. I appreciate any response!
I want more Michael Knowles and Ben Shapiro content!!!!!!!!
Make this a non stop show! No more sleep for anyone! I need more of this! ❤
This was honestly just cute - you can tell that these guys are genuine friends that just enjoy that they're getting the chance to hang out.
Please do more of this Ben you're a legend, Michael always keeping reality reality.
That “yeah…yeah…well…” at 8:21 is just too perfect
I really like this perspective of their humor and friendship. I’m assuming they’re friends irl.
undoubtedly. You don't publicly rag on someone like that who you don't like.
Michael and Ben have such amazing chemistry
These two talking about seed oils is VERY entertaining 😂 I mean, I agree but I wish I had such strong opinions on the matter.
Enjoy listening to both of you, + your interaction is always the best! Keep it coming.
Michael being pro-Atlantis is fantastic.
Ahh two of my favorite people engaging in games and spirits.
Priceless.
If we're only talking about drugs, alcohol has been the biggest gateway drug ever
Love the things they come up with
So much fun like watching Friends with brains and morals
I had to rewatch the seed oils question twice before I figured out you weren't talking about some dude named C. Doyles
You shouldn't necessarily be embarrassed for being wrong, but you should be embarrassed for not changing when you realize you are wrong.
These are SO enjoyable. Great to see yalls outlook on any subject under the sun and beyond, but even more enjoyable to see where you stand on such topics as Atlantis and the Ark of the Covenant, that was a fascinating change of pace
Love yall, thanks for everything you do 🙏
Now i want to see a religious debate between Micheal and ben
Hahaha I love it when they loosen up, seriously good stuff
petrified trees are found all over the world connecting the so called "layers formed over millions of years." These trees are also found not only in the upright position connecting these layers, but also upside down. Being buried in a world wide flood is a reasonable explanation for this phenomenon since the atheists have to convince people that these trees somehow don't decay while layers form around them. They also have zero explanations for trees growing upside down because that is how they're found all over the world especially in mining operations.
31:20
Ben is clearly ignoring the most popular theory about the location of the Ark of the Covenant.
It's clearly in a building in Area 51 being worked on by top men
Top. Men.
Nah God took it home.
06:50
it was not the meat that made him fat.
it was the pizza.
MICHAEL 🤣 your comment on seed oils sealed that you are my favorite. I didn’t expect you agree with you on everything, including this.
Michael took like 3 sips and legit said single women shouldn't be allowed to vote... maybe drinking on camera is not for you bud
I really enjoyed this. For sure do it again. At least once a month!
It’s amazing that Ben drinking peanut butter whiskey and saying “bitches” is free content. What did we do to deserve this?
First, Men and Women are equally important to society, so they should OBVIOUSLY have equal rights. I often see men saying that women shouldn't have the right to vote because they don't fight wars and stuff like that. At the same time, I hear them saying that women should stay in the home and be a mother or only have jobs that fulfill their maternal roles such as being a teacher. People who think this way don't value the role of women in society. You think all men, with or without the responsibility of a family, should have the right the vote because he is doing their role in society, but see women doing their role in society as less by saying that women don't deserve rights such as the ability to vote.
31:02 Michael not every Christian believes Mary is the Ark of the Covenant that is just a Catholic doctrine. As a Christian myself I believe the Ark of the Covenant’s most possible location is the Temple Mount.
I've watched this show a couple times. I still have no idea how to play until the guest asks "Ok, so that means I have to drink?" but then Michael comes back with, "Well, you can just drink if you want to," and then I'm lost again.
That he referred to the Ark of the Covenant the “OG” (original gangsta) had me 😂😂😂
I like that both protagonists are smart, witty, and of similar in 'weight', that's what makes it fun and educational.
Seeing Ben change from his normal stern self is absolutely hilarious 😂
Loved watching you 2. Funny plus learned a lot about you 2.
What happened to the Ark of the Covenant is a question that has fascinated theologians, Bible students, and archeologists for centuries. In the eighteenth year of his reign, King Josiah of Judah ordered the caretakers of the Ark of the Covenant to return it to the temple in Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 35:1-6; cf. 2 Kings 23:21-23). That is the last time the ark’s location is mentioned in the Scriptures. Forty years later, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon captured Jerusalem and raided the temple. Less than ten years after that, he returned, took what was left in the temple, and then burnt it and the city to the ground. So what happened to the ark? Was it taken by Nebuchadnezzar? Was it destroyed with the city? Or was it removed and hidden safely away, as evidently happened when Pharaoh Shishak of Egypt raided the temple during the reign of Solomon’s son Rehoboam? (“Evidently” because, if Shishak had managed to take the Ark, why did Josiah ask the Levites to return it? If the Ark was in Egypt-à la the plotline of Raiders of the Lost Ark-the Levites would not have possessed it and therefore could not have returned it.)
Interestingly, Revelation 11:19 mentions the ark as being in heaven: “Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.” This verse has led some to speculate that the ark was taken up to heaven to be preserved there. But the ark that John sees in his vision of heaven is probably not the same ark that Moses constructed. We know that the articles in the tabernacle were “copies of the heavenly things” (Hebrews 9:23) and that the sanctuary itself was but “a copy and shadow of what is in heaven” (Hebrews 8:5). Revelation 11 deals with the sounding of the seventh trumpet, which ushers in a final round of judgments upon the earth. John’s glimpse of the ark is probably meant as a reminder that God has not forgotten His people, that He is present with them, and that true worship will soon be restored.
The non-canonical book of 2 Maccabees reports that just prior to the Babylonian invasion, Jeremiah, “following a divine revelation, ordered that the tabernacle and the ark should accompany him and...he went off to the mountain which Moses climbed to see God’s inheritance [i.e., Mt. Nebo; cf. Deuteronomy 34:1]. When Jeremiah arrived there, he found a room in a cave in which he put the tent, the ark, and the altar of incense; then he blocked up the entrance” (2:4-5). However, “Some of those who followed him came up intending to mark the path, but they could not find it. When Jeremiah heard of this, he reproved them: ‘The place is to remain unknown until God gathers his people together again and shows them mercy. Then the Lord will disclose these things, and the glory of the Lord will be seen in the cloud, just as it appeared in the time of Moses and when Solomon prayed that the Temple might be gloriously sanctified’” (2:6-8). It is not known if this secondhand (see 2:1) account is accurate; even if it is, we will not know until the Lord comes back, as the account itself claims.
Other theories concerning the whereabouts of the lost ark include Rabbis Shlomo Goren and Yehuda Getz’s claim that it is hidden beneath the temple mount, having been buried there before Nebuchadnezzar could steal it away. Unfortunately, the temple mount is now home to the Dome of the Rock, an Islamic holy site, and the local Muslim community refuses to allow it to be excavated. So we cannot know if Rabbis Goren and Getz are correct.
Explorer Vendyl Jones, among others, believes that an artifact found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, the enigmatic “Copper Scroll” of Qumran Cave 3, is actually a treasure map of sorts detailing the location of a number of precious treasures taken from the temple before the Babylonians arrived, among them the lost Ark of the Covenant. Whether or not this is true remains to be seen, as no one has yet been able to locate all of the necessary geographical landmarks listed on the scroll. Interestingly, some scholars speculate that the Copper Scroll may actually be the record referred to in 2 Maccabees 2:1 and 4, which describes Jeremiah hiding the ark. While this is an interesting speculation, it remains unsubstantiated.
Former East African correspondent for “The Economist,” Graham Hancock, published a book in 1992 entitled The Sign and the Seal: The Quest for the Lost Ark of the Covenant, in which he argued that the ark had been stowed away in Saint Mary of Zion’s Church in Aksum, an ancient city of Ethiopia. Explorer Robert Cornuke of the B.A.S.E. Institute, also believes the Ark may now reside in Aksum. However, no one has yet found it there. Similarly, archaeologist Michael Sanders believes the ark is hidden away in an ancient Egyptian temple in the Israeli village of Djaharya, but he has yet to actually find it there.
A doubtful Irish tradition maintains that the Ark is buried under the Hill of Tara in Ireland. Some scholars believe that this is the source of the Irish “pot of gold at the end of the rainbow” legend. Even less believable are the claims of Ron Wyatt and Tom Crotser, Wyatt claiming to actually have seen the lost Ark of the Covenant buried under Mt. Calvary and Crotser claiming to have seen it on Mt. Pisgah near Mt. Nebo. Both of these men are held in low esteem by the archaeological community, and neither has been able to substantiate the wild claims with any evidence.
In the end, the ark remains lost to all but God. Interesting theories like the ones presented above continue to be offered, but the ark has yet to be found. The writer of 2 Maccabees may very well be right; we may not find out what happened to the lost Ark of the Covenant until the Lord Himself returns.
Fabulous wisdom from these gentleman
21:28 I’m glad that I wasn’t an outlier. I was a card carrying libertarian until my early 30’s. And exactly for the reasons Ben mentioned, I became conservative. I experienced human nature (including my own) and realized a nation needs an ethos, shared values, and individuals need a foundation on which to strive for a meaningful life!
Love the beam of light shining down upon Ben. Ya see it?😂 Love these segments.
28:13 The Viking Jesus prayer had me rolling: we pray to Jesus that you protect us from chaos and death…
I could listen to these two all day long!
These two are genuinely hilarious together
I have been binging these as of late since discovering this series. And have just been wondering when Ben Shapiro would get a turn. And now I know!
For the sex robots, I agree with Michael's argument. Remember the pornstar interview Michael did where it was stated that kids were raping their little sisters because of the things they were seeing in porn. So we see that depravity only leads to more depravity.
Thoroughly enjoyed you two in this video. Thank you so much. I enjoy watching you both and respect you both
In defense of LSD... I was always a very curious child, raised in an atheist family _(relevant)_ interested in all sorts of things about the world.
By the time I was in HS, the massmade educational system has managed to kill all of my learning appetite.
Only after I graduated HS, I tried acid a few times. That experience not only reignited my passion for knowledge, but it ultimately set me on a path of questioning the materialist world around me,
which then led me away from nihilism and atheism and through agnosticism closer and closer to truth.
Nowadays I still don't know whether I should really call myself Christian, but I am definitely a theist nowadays - TBH also thanks to many people that ended up working for Daily Wire, including you, Michael _(edit: I though I should include also Ben and Dr Peterson in these credits)._ Psylocybic mushrooms, LSD and psychedelics played no small part in my abandonment of the bane of modernity - nihilist materialism - and so they've won my eternal advocacy.
Of course, if you wish to try such things, I need to warn you: I don't condone it for all people. It's a powerful experience. I can't blame anyone who doesn't feel right about trying.
You need to do your research, and be careful and responsible.
If you don't want it, don't let anyone force you.
Gotta treat it with respect, and like you said, do your research before dropping tabs. But I agree with you
These two need more segments🤣
The City of Atlantis was a mythological island nation first mentioned in Plato’s writings around 360 BC. He claimed to have based his information on manuscripts given to the Athenian Solon (638-558 BC) by an Egyptian priest. Atlantis supposedly had conquered Italy and North Africa but was pushed back by Athens. Shortly thereafter, the island disappeared into the sea.
Plato speaks of Atlantis in the dialogues Timaeus and Critias. In the text, Socrates ponders if a perfect society could ever exist, and Critias tells the story of Atlantis. According to Critias, Atlantis was about 230 miles long by 340 miles wide and lay in the Atlantic Ocean, west of the Rock of Gibraltar. (There are other possible locations in Atlantis mythology as well.) According to the mythology, Poseidon’s sons, including Atlas (for whom Atlantis was named), lived there. It was destroyed around 9600 BC by earthquakes and a flood. Plato’s contemporaries were split as to whether Plato really believed Solon’s account. The early Christian scholars Clement and Tertullian seemed to think Atlantis was real. There is a discussion today as to whether Solon mistranslated the date in the Egyptian hieroglyphics, counting hundreds as thousands; if Solon was in error, then Atlantis’s destruction was closer to 1500 BC.
How does the story of Atlantis mesh with the book of Genesis in the Bible? There are a few different speculations:
Atlantis existed before the Flood. This would certainly explain the lack of physical evidence for the island, but not Plato’s historical account. Pre-Flood, there wouldn’t have been a Rock of Gibraltar to identify a location. And the nations Plato claimed Atlantis conquered wouldn’t have existed. It’s possible that the story was passed down through Noah and his sons, and later storytellers changed some of the details to match their own geography.
Atlantis existed between the Flood and the Tower of Babel. Genesis 10:25 says, "Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided…" (Genesis 10:25, NASB). We know the time frame refers to the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11), but the use of the word divided is less clear. Scholars argue whether it was the languages that were divided or the earth itself. If the continents shifted shortly after the people of Babel dispersed, the island of Atlantis could have been a casualty. But there wasn’t enough time between the Flood and Babel for Atlantis to become a mighty nation that conquered much of Europe and Africa over several generations, as Plato described.
Atlantis existed after the Tower of Babel. Mythologically speaking, Poseidon’s father was Chronos. A variation of Chronos is Kittim. Kittim was the son of Javan, the grandson of Noah (Genesis 10:4). The Kittites are described: "From these the coastland peoples spread. [These are the sons of Japheth] in their lands, each with his own language, by their families within their nations" (Genesis 10:5, AMP). It’s possible that Atlas could refer to Noah’s great-great-great-grandson. Plato said that the kingdom was passed on from Atlas’s sons for many generations. It’s possible that rising sea waters during the tail end of the post-Flood ice age washed away the softer soil of the island. Combining Plato’s description that "there are remaining only the bones of the wasted body" with current geology, it’s possible that either the Canary Islands, the Azores, or Madeira Island is all that is left of Atlantis.
But, at the present, there is no way to know if Atlantis really existed, and geological studies give us nothing conclusive. The Bible doesn’t mention Atlantis; the first mention of it is in Plato’s writings, and the Bible doesn’t go into Platonic teaching. Some say that the Egyptians, known for their advanced architecture and science, were colonized by the Atlanteans (which might also explain the similarities between the Egyptians and their neighbors across the Atlantic in South and Central America), but the evidence is circumstantial. It’s just as likely that Plato merely revamped an obscure myth as an example of a near-utopian society.
I love these type of shows
Catholics, not Christians, believe that Mary is the new Ark of the Covenant. Glad I could clear up that little misconception.
Did your pastor tell you that? I married into a family of devout Catholics. You’d think they’d mention it
I played this game. I ended up winning, and I got 1 more exgf out of it.

I would like to see the two of them sit down together & react/discuss videos of Michael in his days as an actor
Did Ben just talk about being Ratatouilled at about 15:40? Has he seen the meme?
I would love to play this game with my friends but I would have to explain the questions to about 90% of my friends so it would ruin the fun fast lol
The picture of Rachel Maddow for Michael on the question about haircuts just killed me 😂 Michael even played along with it!
As a conservative single woman lay off my right to vote.
It was only a joke 😂 but the truth is if women were not allowed to vote Republicans would win. I think it should be only married women who vote. What do you think do you think should it just be married women?
Hearing and seeing Ben say “you guys have it” when discussing the Ark of the Covenant and smile is somehow heartwarming.
Knowles said 'Christians' believe that Mary is the Ark of the Covenant. I think he should have said that 'Catholics' believe that. I have never even heard of that doctrine. I have gone to various denominations over my lifetime from Lutheran to Methodist. I have NEVER heard that particular doctrine. I am 71 years old. Now I have to talk to my Catholic friends to see if they believe that Mary is the Ark of the Covenant.
The Catholics I asked don't believe that. I was told "No. Absolutely not.
She is the Mother of Jesus and before his death Jesus said that she is a Mother for us all."
@@jewelssylva3738 Catholics are Christians too. Of course, Jesus was a Jew and practiced a sect of Judaism.
@@waitstill7091 Catholicism is not Christian. And no, Jesus did not practice any form of Judaism. He practiced _Torahism_ . Judaism was the religion of the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the Gospel accounts show that He was completely opposed to it on account of these groups rejecting the authority of the written Torah.
@@decepticonxhunter4850No, he was opposed to hypocrisy, not Judaism. Jesus taught and practiced Judaism, and instructed his followers the same.
“The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.
Matthew 23:2-3
Yep-it’s in the Bible. Mary is carrying the word made flesh, Jesus is Bread from heaven and Jesus is priest prophet and King. Read when David brings the ark back to Jerusalem and in the chapter in Luke when Mary visits Elizabeth. The parallels are very similar. Check out Jeff Cavins from the Great Adventure Bible Study. It’s all there.
As an avid carpenter, I have to fundamentally disagree with Michael on seed oil, as Linseed oil is one of mankind’s greatest chemical inventions.
I want to see Jordan Peterson on here!
That would be great, but one game between Jordan Peterson and any one person would become a whole series.
Good news: whoever Jordan Peterson plays would know so much more about themselves than they did before going into the room with Jordan.
Christians don't think Mary is the ark of the covenant. Catholics do
I really miss Ben's Torah Portions on Sabbath eve. I love the scriptures.
I still need to read the Torah. I'm a Muslim (non sectarian) and I think reading the old scriptures is incredibly important.
@@ace9924 Salam. I'm a Protestant, but try to always honor God and others despite the current culture. DW is an encouragement and I pray for them always. God's peace to you and yours.
@Anita Mullins Brown to you as well thank you and God bless.
I don’t think they understand that some people are allergic to dairy and need almond milk and plant butter etc😂😂
Albigensianism as the gateway drug was hilarious lol
“Oh this is going to be an easy one…”
(9 seconds later)
“…penumbras and enumerations”
As an ex addict, I'm not sure if pot is a gateway drug, but I do know that not all pot heads are addicts, but all addicts started as potheads.
