    Both atheists and theists alike, on the question of God’s existence, like to portray their position as the more rational one.
    Atheists will say, prove it to me. You’re making extraordinary claims, therefore give me irrefutable evidence such that it would be impossible to deny. This, btw, is a standard of proof far in excess of anything science has ever had to demonstrate.
    Not only do they expect a perfectly sound argument, but they expect it to be the exact kind of evidence that each subjective examiner needs to satisfy his or her own particular hang-up.
    And theists love to try to rise to those occasions. They’ll say things like, “Well, I know some arguments. I heard this one called the cosmological argument one time. Here’s how it goe...”.
    Or, “I know one called the ontological argument; it’s very clever.” And so they will begin until they eventually end, both self-satisfied that theirs is the more logical position - without having found any common ground.
    But if both were more honest with themselves, they would have to admit that their reasons for believing or not believing have far less to do with reason than they’d like to admit - as do most other reasons that influence major decisions in our lives.
    Yes, we are rational beings with an intellect, but we are also emotional beings with passions and it is our passions that tend to dominate a far greater portion of our decision making than we like to admit.
    Take the person you vote for. Very few people vote, consistently, on purely coherent and rational grounds.
    You may have seen those street commentary videos where someone will ask a random person what they think of a given political candidate and they’ll say, “Oh I hate him.” Then they’ll ask them if they agree with a litany of policies to which the brave respondent will reply, “Oh yes, I agree with that.” Only to eventually have the trap closed on them when it’s revealed that all of the policies they agreed with originate from the candidate that they don’t like.
    People, as far as I can tell, don’t tend to vote for the person that they agree with. They tend to vote for the person that they like, and their reasons for liking them tend to be based, more, on an emotional response than a rational one.
    What about the car you drive - why did you buy that car? Was it a purely rational choice? Did you rationally survey all the variables and choose the exact right car that fits your life and needs and budget?
    Or did you get talked into something by a smooth salesperson who preyed upon your passions? Did you choose the white one because you like white? Did you get the one with bigger rims, because you thought, hey, that’ll make me look cool? Did you get talked into a certain trim package because of the way it made you feel - with little regard for whether it made rational sense to spend the extra money on it or not?
    What about when your significant other said, “I love you.” Did you cross your arms and say, that sounds nice, but I’m withholding judgement until you can empirically prove that to me. I’m going to need to see microscopic love proteins swimming through your veins before I act on that information.
    Or did you go, “really? Me? You love me?” And yet, how many of us were manipulated by those words when we should have been more shrewd about that confession.
    But when it comes to the question of God, we want a purely rational explanation for all of our questions and objections and if we don’t do that for all the other important decisions in our life, then isn’t that an indictment of our own insincerity?
    Why do we do that? Is it a defense mechanism? It sure seems like it to me. I know for a period of my life it’s an excuse I used among those who wanted to inspire an appreciation for the divine in me.
    The truth is, the difference between those who sincerely believe in God and those who hide behind a rational façade, is the difference between humility and pride not rational and superstitious.
    People who sincerely believe in God often go through an experience where they admit to themselves that they aren’t smart enough to riddle out a theory of everything or the singularity behind all that exists, which is what you’d have to do to have God proven to you.
    They experience enough of a twinge of humility that they can say something like, “God, I don’t know if you’re out there, but if you are, I’d really like to know you.” Something like that traces my own experience.

    I'm a bit disappointed and even embarrassed by some of the comments this video has attracted. People are saying, "Where's the proof?" At no point did I say I was going to provide undeniable proof. This video is a criticism of the claim to require undeniable proof. It is a demonstration that, by the way we treat other topics and theories, it is inconsistent and, therefore, a defence mechanism against a fair and reasonable exploration of the concept of God to require "undeniable proof" in this one instance of life. Undeniable proof certainly doesn't exist for theories like Darwinian Evolution but we shouldn't require it to be undeniable... just reasonable. That's what this video is about and that is its thesis. On that ground, the title is entirely appropriate, although, admittedly a bit clickbaity - but this is TH-cam my friends and we don't capture those clicks with titles that don't entice. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Nonetheless, there are arguments being put forward in this video that do require a response from someone who demands undeniable proof, so please, if you're going to respond, respond to those. Do not respond to some anticipated phantom argument for the existence of God that is not in this video. If you want to watch a video with an argument for God's existence, kindly consider this one: th-cam.com/video/wVmKQ9pxuFU/w-d-xo.html

      The request for undeniable proof is a fair one and not at all in the same category as evolution(Darwinian evolution is an old term and much has been added to the theory since his day).
      Believing a god exists would be a life changing event, and as such requires undeniable proof, evolution being true or false wouldnt alter my life very much if at all, however it does have undeniable evidence from several different sciences, in fact it has at least as ,much as and probably more supporting evidence than the heliocentric theory which most people willingly accept as true.
      Im sure you are not one of those who doesnt understand the difference between a normal theory and a scientific theory, so Im puzzled as to why you would say undeniable proof doesnt exist for evolution, perhaps I should enquire as to whether you mean evolution or the theory of evolution by natural selection because they are different things of course.
      As for the 'arguments' you say need answering in this video, well they dont stand up too well. You keep asking if emotions are also a part of decision making, and yes of course they are, but to try and use the 'does my partner really love me ' analogy is ridiculous because I know my partner exists, I can see them, touch them, assess them and what they do, not so with any gods.
      And then to try and claim non believers are somehow hiding from or avoiding the truth is an old ploy. It is very annoying to be told we are not humble enough or that to have a god proven in a rational we we would need to work out a theory of everything, non of which is true.
      You even try to make light of the burden or proof, saying you hid behind it, when in fact it is not a shield but a very simple concept, those who make a truth claim have the burden of proof if they want others to believe that claim.
      You say you had an experience which led to your belief, and that you actively sought out evidence to confirm this, not surprisingly you found what you looked for.
      You also say you found atheists who claimed your arguments had been answered but couldnt tell you how , you must know different atheists to those I do because we dont say something has been answered already unless we can actually show this to be true ( feel free to suggest a few of these unanswered arguments and I will do my best to answer them).
      The room analogy makes me giggle, it tries to make non believers seem silly and mule headed, but is flawed , the person who claims to have entered the room using the phrase could just show others how they did it, on seeing it work they would of course use it themselves. To be an accurate analogy this room would need to be invisible, undetectable , and the person who claims to have entered it couldnt tell you where it was or what was in it, only that to enter this undetectable room you would need to chant a rhyme , and that trying to find the room first shows you dont really want to enter it.
      This entire video is just packed full of sly digs at non believers, they are proud, boastful,not humble,hiding behind things,not willing to learn,etc etc etc. If only they did as you did they would see this god, well sorry, but I hear that from all religions,those who follow one god those who follow many gods those who follow the universe as a god, all have one thing in common, they cant prove any of their claims and so they say its our fault for not being receptive , open, humble. Im constantly told by believers that absolutely nothing would cause them to not believe, yet I am told Im closed minded by saying " show me convincing evidence and I will have no choice but to believe". which is the truly closed minded?

      @Help Viewer There are many answers to this, since I like maths I will give you amathematical one.
      Having infinite possible religions my probability of choosing the right god is exactly 0%.
      Obviously being an atheist I don't believe in hell so that doesn't matter.
      But let's assume you are right, the christian god (I assume you are christian) exists, that god loves me but it will make me suffer for eternity if I am not subservient enough to him. That sounds like a contradiction to me.
      Your god is just, but if I dare believe reason instead of a mith dating back to the roman empire (which can hardly be calleda crime if you ask me) for the finite time of my life I will suffer for eternity. That's an infinite penalty for a finite "crime", the farthest thing from justice.

      @Help Viewer The example you are giving is know as Pascal’s Wager. The main problem atheists have with this argument is the false dichotomy it creates, since it’s made to specifically talk about a very specific type of God, one which sends certain people to heaven and others to hell (requirements for entering heaven may differ depending to which theist you are speaking to).
      This wager assumes this as the only possibility of a God, while all the other possibilities of Gods that don’t have this heaven and hell concept aren’t taken into consideration. Not just that, but many religions specifically require that you believe in their very specific God to get into heaven, so if you’re a Christian and the Muslims end up being right, you won’t get into heaven either way, as you’d be believing in a false God to the Muslim perspective.
      Imagine that a theist of another religion form yours tells you this:
      “I am part of a religion which has the best imaginable heaven, infinitely better than all the other heavens from other religions and the worst suffering imaginable if you believe in any other God then the one I believe.”
      By your line of reasoning, wouldn’t it make more sense to start believing in this God now, since if you are wrong about the current God you believe in, it means you’ll spend eternity in an infinitely worse hell than the one from your religion. Would you risk continuing in your religion knowing this is a possibility?

      God does actually exist. There are many distinct versions of the modal ontological argument but one of the most straightforward can be presented as follows.
      According to ‘perfect being theism’, a form of theism most widely accepted among Judaeo-Christian-Islamic theists, God is a being that exists necessarily. Such a being is distinct from contingent beings like tables, cars, planets and people, which exist merely by chance. If God exists at all, there is no possible situation in which he fails to exist. Proponents of perfect being theism also typically say that God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and morally perfect because he is perfect in all respects. This observation suggests that the thesis ‘it is possible that God exists’ is equivalent to ‘it is possible that, necessarily, an all-powerful, all-knowing and morally perfect being exists.’ At this point the modal ontological argument appeals to a principle in modal logic that is widely accepted by logicians: If it is ‘possible’ that something is ‘necessary’, then that thing is simply ‘necessary.’ In other words, if we have the sentence ‘it is possible that something is necessary’ we can drop the phrase ‘it is possible that’ without changing the meaning. If we apply this logical principle to what we have derived so far, namely, the thesis ‘it is possible that, necessarily, an all-powerful, all-knowing and morally perfect being exists’, we can derive the thesis ‘it is necessary that an all-powerful, all-knowing and morally perfect being exists.’ This is equivalent to saying that God exists necessarily. If God exists necessarily, then God actually exists. Hence, the mere possibility of the existence of God logically entails its actuality.

      Einstein’s 1915 general theory of relativity, for example, was based on theoretical mathematics developed 50 years earlier by the great German mathematician Bernhard Riemann that did not have any known practical applications at the time of its intellectual creation.
      In some cases the physicist also discovers the mathematics. Isaac Newton was considered among the greatest mathematicians as well as physicists of the 17th century. Other physicists sought his help in finding a mathematics that would predict the workings of the solar system. He found it in the mathematical law of gravity, based in part on his discovery of calculus.
      At the time, however, many people initially resisted Newton’s conclusions because they seemed to be “occult.” How could two distant objects in the solar system be drawn toward one another, acting according to a precise mathematical law? Indeed, Newton made strenuous efforts over his lifetime to find a natural explanation, but in the end he could say only that it is the will of God.
      Despite the many other enormous advances of modern physics, little has changed in this regard. As Wigner wrote, “the enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious and there is no rational explanation for it.”
      In other words, as I argue in my book, it takes the existence of some kind of a god to make the mathematical underpinnings of the universe comprehensible.
      Math and other worlds
      In 2004 the great British physicist Roger Penrose put forward a vision of a universe composed of three independently existing worlds - mathematics, the material world and human consciousness. As Penrose acknowledged, it was a complete puzzle to him how the three interacted with one another outside the ability of any scientific or other conventionally rational model.
      How can physical atoms and molecules, for example, create something that exists in a separate domain that has no physical existence: human consciousness?
      It is a mystery that lies beyond science.
      Plato. Elizabethe
      This mystery is the same one that existed in the Greek worldview of Plato, who believed that abstract ideas (above all mathematical) first existed outside any physical reality. The material world that we experience as part of our human existence is an imperfect reflection of these prior formal ideals. As the scholar of ancient Greek philosophy, Ian Mueller, writes in “Mathematics And The Divine,” the realm of such ideals is that of God.
      Indeed, in 2014 the MIT physicist Max Tegmark argues in “Our Mathematical Universe” that mathematics is the fundamental world reality that drives the universe. As I would say, mathematics is operating in a god-like fashion.
      The mystery of human consciousness
      The workings of human consciousness are similarly miraculous. Like the laws of mathematics, consciousness has no physical presence in the world; the images and thoughts in our consciousness have no measurable dimensions.
      Yet, our nonphysical thoughts somehow mysteriously guide the actions of our physical human bodies. This is no more scientifically explicable than the mysterious ability of nonphysical mathematical constructions to determine the workings of a separate physical world.
      Until recently, the scientifically unfathomable quality of human consciousness inhibited the very scholarly discussion of the subject. Since the 1970s, however, it has become a leading area of inquiry among philosophers.
      Recognizing that he could not reconcile his own scientific materialism with the existence of a nonphysical world of human consciousness, a leading atheist, Daniel Dennett, in 1991 took the radical step of denying that consciousness even exists.
      Finding this altogether implausible, as most people do, another leading philosopher, Thomas Nagel, wrote in 2012 that, given the scientifically inexplicable - the “intractable” - character of human consciousness, “we will have to leave [scientific] materialism behind” as a complete basis for understanding the world of human existence.
      As an atheist, Nagel does not offer religious belief as an alternative, but I would argue that the supernatural character of the workings of human consciousness adds grounds for raising the probability of the existence of a supernatural god.

That would suggest focusing on ones selfish need to hear from God is the way to get Gods attention, which goes against what he claims.
      That it is not humility, but pride that gets Gods attention. While most of the atheists i know do not believe they have some special relationship with God and a special place after death.

      @@falcosirrus8620 The thing about pride is that we are quick to judge other people when we see it in them, yet are often blind to our own. Praying for yourself is not selfish or a consequence of pride (usually). As I was trying to say, we as Christians pray “thy will be done.” That is not pride but a humbling of one’s self to divine providence. You could make the same argument that the mother of the sick child is being selfish by asking God to save her child’s Earthly life. True humility is realizing that we are all sick children and trying to make ourselves fit for the kingdom so that we may lead others to it as well.

      @@rickhunter7443 "But if god shows himself you will be terrified."
      How is this threat relevant to my comment??? What's your point? Perhaps it's just that, like so many other god-botherers, you get some kind of sick pleasure in condemning those who don't share your fantasy? Does threatening non-believers make you feel special? Some nice Christian values you have there, Rick.
      But, since you brought it up, I'll respond. First of all, why do you think I'd be "terrified" if god showed up? I've been inviting god (as if he really existed) to show himself to me all my life, yet he persists in playing his silly game of hide and seek. This tells me either he doesn't want me to know he exists or that he actually doesn't exist. Either way, it's not my problem. If he wants to have a personal relationship with me, he knows where I live and can introduce himself to me whenever he wants to. But, I'm not gonna sit waiting on my doorstep for him.
      If god did show himself, I would have to get to know him before I could fear or revere him. What if he wasn't the god YOU believe in? What if it turned out that he was really a nice guy. Why would I be terrified of him? If, however, he was indeed the god as depicted in the Bible, I would definitely be apprehensive but, I would still have to give him the chance to explain his horrible and contemptible behavior. Then and only then could I judge whether he deserved my respect or fear.
      You seem to think that just because a god could squash me like a bug, that I should respect and fear him. Might makes right? ... Really? Allow me to explain something to you. There are three kinds of 'respect' ... First is the kind of respect one earns and deserves, such as someone of virtue who sets a good example for humanity, or a hero figure who risks their life to save someone else's life. Second, is the kind of respect that one affords a figure of authority, like a judge in a courtroom or the principal of a school. Then, there's the respect we have for things that are harmful or potentially life-threatening, like a rattlesnake or a ruthless dictator. Of the three, the two former kinds don't necessarily elicit fear, however, the latter does.
      So, if the god of your fantasy is the Christian god of the Bible, and it showed itself to me, yes, I would be fearful; perhaps even terrified. After all, he's demonstrably a deplorable, despicable, reprehensible, vengeful, unjust, ego-maniacal, terrorizing, asshole who only deserves the respect I would afford a psychopathic mafia boss, and certainly not worthy of worship.

    Hi Bryan, I'm an atheist who has actually improved my life after becoming such. I'm no longer suicidal or questioning my own value. God is the reason I spent years questioning my own value by ignoring my prayers for years. Not prayers for him to reveal himself, no, not something so shallow as that. I prayed to be saved from a severely abusive home life that left me begging god to end my life before I was even 10 years old. I prayed for comfort, guidance, the will to keep going and ignore the suffering, and nothing came at all.

      This is precisely the Catholic position: Fides et Ratio. I imagine it like a relationship with your spouse (which coincidentally reflects our relationship with God).
      A relationship built solely on reason leaves no room for faith and is shallow and incomplete. You can reason a lot about your spouse by observing them and making objective deductions and conclusions, but what you are left with is just an assortment of surface-level facts that on their own won’t get you far in a relationship. If you insist with your partner that you will only go on what you can absolutely know about them through analytical reason, you will know very little about them, and you will love very little of them, because you are in utter control of the process by which you know and love them.
      A relationship solely built on faith is easily prone to gullibility and superstition. Your spouse could cheat on you or lie to you and you wouldn’t know it, or you could believe things about them that are not true, because you are blinded by a false trust. Such a relationship is often abusive, has poor foundation, and clearly is bad for you.
      Real relationship has both an element of reason and a trust for that which the other has revealed about themself of their own freedom. This is one way to understand our relationship with God.

So I would disagree with you, there are definitely logical arguments (some involving scientific evidence) like the cosmological, teleological, moral and ontological arguments for God’s existence (I would suggest researching these on TH-cam).

No, just a little stimulus that he knows people will run through in a month or two.

    I don't see how the "people apeal to emotion" argument is relative here. Making decisions because something makes you feel good is not necessarily irrational but believing in something just because it makes you feel good is. Buying a BMW will make you feel good, it's not as practical or economical as a honda but still you can rationalize and pick between two objects that are proven to exist... You can believe that she loves you because you have proof that she exists and you can prove that love happens on a chemical level inside her brain (dopamine + norepinephrine), her words just convey this in a simple manner. How do you not see the difference in those cases compared to "i don't support Trump because i don't like him. He has good policies but I don't like him" or "Yeah I don't understand the world therefore god exists, believing just makes me feel good." Atheists do not claim that they are perfectly rational, but in order to rationalize something it has to be subject to rationalization, a belief in something that can't be proven does not fall in that category. So humans being emotional doesn't give you an excuse to believe in something that isn't reasonable.

    I mean... the “god will show himself to me in a way i will understand” theory doesn’t really make sense... i’ll attempt to explain my thoughts.
    The issue I have is that by looking for such a clue, it’s a one way street. You may think, “hmm, if I meet the love of my life today, that will surely prove God’s existence.” And when you don’t meet her, no biggie, that doesn’t disprove God. However, life goes on, it is *inevitable* that you will find a scenario that you can interpret as God reaching out to you. Even if 1000 times a miracle didn’t happen, you can point to that one time as evidence of God.
    An additional issue I have is that these events are not repeatable. You cannot control when such events happen, so how do you know the difference between an intelligent being causing something versus random chance? How much is cognitive bias?
    I’d like to share a little story. When I was young, my mom told me she saw her favorite number, 57, everywhere she went. From that point on, I was noticing 57 everywhere!! On addresses, math problems, you name it. One day, I told my dad about this, and he asked “how many numbers do you see in a day? Maybe it’s the fact that you’re looking for 57 that you see it everywhere.” So i picked another number, and whaddya know, i began seeing that one everywhere too.
    My point is, we humans are flawed. I think it’s way more likely that our cognitive bias tells us some godlike figure is pulling strings and has a purpose for everything. Like how can you possibly justify the holocaust (sorry for bringing this up, but I think it’s a valid point to consider.)
    This brings me to my final conclusion: we don’t know. No one has proved God, but no one has disproved him either. Why is everyone so eager to jump to conclusions when we have no evidence? Like you said: humility is important, and sometimes humility means putting your pride aside and admitting your ignorance.

    Do I believe in some loving character in the sky? No. I think we people want to believe in such things only to comfort ourselves. Because I see similarities in all living beings, and I happen to think that animals are almost as conscious and sentient as we are. And yet we kill them and eat them. That's not love.

    It is extremely arrogant to claim that god exists and that he is a christian god with 100% certainty. We haven't proven god exists. However, we can prove with 100% certainty that people have the ability to create stories, have the innate desire to explain the existence of themselves and the world, and are capable of believing in things that are false even when the proof is undeniable. This doesn't prove that god doesn't exist or that the Bible is untrue, but it does prove that it is very possible the Bible could have been written without the help of god. Ask yourself which is more likely... that god exists, that he is a christian god, and that the Bible is the exact word of this god? Or that man created god, made him a christian god, and put words in his mouth? There is no evidence to prove the former, but there is a mountain of evidence to prove that the latter is possible. Not that it's true, but that it's possible. This has been true for thousands of years, this is true now, and will continue to be true for the rest of human existence. The possibility of god is also true, but so far there is no evidence to support that possibility other than one's ability to believe, but as we should all know, just because you believe in something doesn't make it so. We are constantly proving that we are capable of creating stories, making up explanations for things we cannot fully explain, and believing in misinformation even when the evidence is undeniable. It is far better to humbly say "I don't know and therefore I don't believe" than it is to arrogantly claim that "god exists with absolutely certainty, that he is a christian god, and if you don't believe in him you are going to burn in hell for eternity."

    I was driven to faith by rational investigation. I first found out that science had absolutely no evidence for naturalism so I wondered about God and found science has absolutely no evidence against God.
    Later my wife became religious and I realised I had to make a decision as I had kids and I didn't want to lie to them or have no position on this new issue. So I studied a number of religions knowing enough to realise only one could possibly be true. Science helped, but history, archaeology and philosophy were key too. I looked at the tenets of each belief including atheism and looked at the main arguments for and against. I whittled them down to the Abrahamic Faiths, and as I studied the Quran and the true interpretation via the Hadiths I proved it false from a multitude of reasons. Judaism was harder as there was no defining belief and then it went off on an unsubstantiated tangent with rabbinical Judaism after the destruction of the Temple in 70AD.
    It was Christianity alone that kept neck and neck with atheism, plenty of times I ended the day thinking - 'well if that is true I can't be a Christian' before finding what the Christian belief truly was or what the true meaning in Hebrew or Greek was and realising my interpretation based on the English translation was false.
    From philosophy I found Christianity made more sense than any current form of atheist thinking which is highly varied, from history and archaeological evidence wherever there was proof one way or another it always was in line with the Bible and didn't contradict. I went down multiple rabbit holes including Exodus where there is no direct evidence either way but plenty of indirect evidence that correlates with the Exodus and Joseph (Genesis) that can not be explained rationally without the biblical context.
    This still wasn't sufficient proof, and then I really looked at the crucifixion and realised that all the strange inconsistencies actually made perfect sense when biewed from modern medical science, so I finally looked at the resurrection and found that there is no valid argument against the resurrection and that all the evidence when taken in context could only mean it actually happened. When the truth of this hit me, I realised all the other issues such as walking on water, etc. became completely inconsequential as the resurrection is the biggest 'miracle' within the whole Bible.
    Jonah, Adam and Eve, as well as Noah still give me pause for thought but given that Genesis 1 fits the 5 billion year history of Earth (in Hebrew) and that Genesis is poetic I realised that the literal translation is an allegorical story in which the actual truth is embedded.

      Science cannot disprove god, religion cannot prove it.
      “What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.”
      There is no proof of a god. Can there be a god? Yes. It’s possible. Anything is possible. Any theory is possible because none have been proven. There is no evidence saying there is, though.
      I have an analogy: It’s like a jar filled with M&M’s. I count how many I put it, then have a group of 10 people estimate how many are inside. Before I tell them the number, they all have a chance of being correct. It’s because the answer hasn’t been revealed, therefore we don’t know who is right.
      Now, let’s place a question inside of the jar. I tell everyone what the question is, but they guess the answer to the question inside. The question is “How was this universe formed?” Now I ask everyone to tell me what they think. At the end of this they ask me to reveal it. I say,”this question has not actually been answered or proven yet.” This leaves every guess as a possible answer. It’s like the M&M example. Anyone’s answer has the chance of being correct until I reveal the amount. With the question in a jar example, we don’t actually have the answer. This leaves every theory a possible answer.
      There’s no proof of a god, that is why atheism exists. It’s because there is no actual proof and people don’t find it easy to say,”I believe in it” with no reason to. With no evidence saying to do so. If there was evidence, I don’t think anyone would deny it. There’ll be those few people who still call BS, but most would go,”thanks for proving it. I will no longer ask for evidence.”
      I am an atheist due to the lack of evidence. I have argued with religious people over the years and i’ve learned what you guys think “proof” is. Please do not throw unanswered questions at me like,”Well why else would this universe be so perfectly set up?” I don’t know. The answer to unanswered questions is not “god”, it’s unanswered, so don’t assume. Do not tell me the bible is proof of anything. The bible simply states things, yet it provides no proof.
      Do not argue with me, it’s a fact that there’s no evidence of a god. No argument will change that.
      The best part about facts are that wether or not you believe them or even fight them, they’ll always remain right there.

      Because even your search for God was emotionally loaded. You said if God's real then you need to know, because you can't live without Him.
      This isn't going where the evidence leads. You are looking to arrive at a specific conclusion at the outset.
      You just had a need to believe.

If a strong wind of gust came on you right now, you would say “I felt the wind”, so you can attempt to downplay me when I say “I felt the presence o God”, it’s not an emotion. But I can try to describe it as much as I want but it won’t really matter.
      I don’t just base my beliefs of 1 time, after that I kept getting sign after sign after sign, had a baby nephew, was born legit dead, and by a miracle of God is alive today. But then you say “that’s not true because there are other times where there was no miracle”, to that I don’t have a perfect explanation no, I don’t know why God chose to save him and not others. But I believe that’s a ridiculous argument to say it didn’t happen because other times it hasn’t, I’m not saying you are making that argument but other people have.
      But even after all this, you could have all the historical proof you needed man but it still means nothing, believing is simply in the heart and not in the seeing. So yeah I could say, I’ve seen miracle healings and literal demons coming out of a person. But the me that didn’t believe would’ve probably found a way to discredit it as you are about to discredit it.
      You need to find God in your heart, before you will find him in the natural. As cringe and lame as that sounds. It’s just true man, you don’t have to believe me, I really hope you do though, I really hope you never give up. Every response you make reminds me so much of myself

      0:24 He equivocates two very different things. 1. Scientific claims don't usually contradict everything we know about the world. If they do, I'd argue that you would need similar amounts of evidence. That usually means that it take decades for fundamentallly new theories to replace their predecessors. 2. Science is organized in layers. You wouldn't need nearly as much evidence for a inconsequential hypothesis about a fringe topic - but could you even imagine he mountain ranges of evidence you'd need for refuting a fundamental theory like the Theory of Relativity?
      2:23 You can find similar street polls with all kinds of topics. Leno did them pretty regularly as a comedy piece. It just shows that those particular people can easily be grabbed by their cognitive dissonances to say anything you want. What would those people say if the policies were a) clearly explained and b) not connected to a candidate? In the end it's just a poisoning of the well. "You don't accept my logical and rational argument, so you are emotional".
      4:00 "...simply because you liked it" - what's irrational about that? It's a false distinction, emotional motivations ("I like white cars.") can be good reasons to pick a particular car. The case gets even worse when he talks about picking a breakfast.
      5:28 The slippery slope of breakfast. I can very well make a emotional decision about a breakfast without automatically ending up malnourished. Not only that: There is no basis for that culinary multiplication. I can very well make emotional decisions the entire year, and end up very well nourished, because I have different cravings each day.
      5:42 In a loving relationship I have plenty of evidence that my SO loves me. This is not the first time a theist used this arguments, and I'm confused every time. Christian couples talk to each other, don't they? Then would they even think that there is no evidence?
      6:17 He assumes that the God question is already somehow a big part of an atheist's life, when by definition it is not. To pick up the last example: The statement "I love you." has consequences, regardless of whether someone is actually in love. Even if you do it only subconsciously, you have to look out for evidence. That's different with the God hypothesis: Atheists assume it's false, so there is nothing more to consider.

    (1) I can't speak for other atheists but I am not looking for undeniable proof, just some reasonably compelling evidence, or a coherent logical argument that doesn't abuse logical processes would be a start. The most reasonable argument I have come across is that God *could* conceivably exist, but then so *could* Zeus, Cthulu and the Mighty Universe-building Legion of Sentient Carrots.
    (2) I agree that we make decisions on a combination of rational and emotional factors. However, the difference between faith-based religion and day-to-day decision-making is that if I want to make a wholly rational decision (or as close as possible to one), the data is out there to enable me to do so. The same cannot be said of rationally choosing to believe in a sky fairy. On what evidence do you choose between all the known gods of history? My personal view is that people choose to believe in an all-powerful father figure and the promised afterlife because (a) it provides emotional comfort they have not been able to obtain through other means and / or (b) they simply don't have the learning to understand the scale and processes which science has laid out as the more rational explanations for the way things are (i.e. "I don't understand x, therefore God" which is a nice simple solution that beggars a truck load of additional questions that theists choose to swat away).
    (3) Being unable to recite the refutations for the cosmological or ontological arguments, etc, etc, does not invalidate the atheist's position during a debate. We have mobile phones, there are ample sources the atheist can go to to find the exact refutation. Many of the so-called proofs for God's existence are based on bad logic and / or casually inserting assertions into logical statements in the hope no-one will spot them. I have not seen any counter-refutations for those refutations apart from those who claim God sits outside the realm of logical discourse. The more questions are asked, the more theists retreat into the absurd and abstract.
    (4) The fact that we make emotional decisions such as the the Trump / Clinton choice presented in the video simply furthers the argument for informed decision-making based on evidence and the importance of teaching critical-thinking in school. If we voted more based on actual policies in combination with a judgment on a politician's behaviour rather than based on historical biases and memes, we might elect better people to govern us.
    (5) Showing humility is all well and good, but why is it God that would sit on the other side of the door as opposed to any other god? Why not Allah? Why do you think God is waiting for you to humble yourself while Mother Nature or the Egyptian pantheon are looking at their water clocks in despair, thinking "One day the humans will open their minds to us rather than calling out to those that don't exist". How do you know it is God and not a deceiver, even a benign deceiver who answers? You feel it? You *know* it? The deceiver is also a god so could make you feel the assurance of pure love, they could make you *know* it. Without evidence and based on just feelings alone, the argument presented is simply arguing in favour of a dream or a delusion.

Yet when they’re resuscitated.. they’re able to clearly and vividly explain what went on around the hospital, where their spirit went and encountering extreme compassion or kindness. Or reuniting with loved ones, wouldn’t that kind of be important evidence? Technically there should be no consciousness when the brains stops, especially if for long enough.

Now, you must: ask your creator for guidance by raising your hand to the sky and asking him with the real intent of finding the truth.

      2) "doomsday achieves justice"
      That isn't even an observation, it's just a statement. It means as much as if I said "Shrek is life" It's just nonsense.

      Chemistry doesn't care about stuff? So that means God exists? I genuinely don't understand what your even trying to say. Nature is too perfect, I think and again, that isn't evidence, it's just a statement. I could say, idk, "the concept of spaghetti is too perfect, it had to come from the flying spaghetti monster."
      4) "the scientific, Linguistic, parapsychological, and historical miracles in the Holy Quran make us certain that this book is from a mighty powerful God"
      Lol, what? Do you have a scale to measure that with too? Are there books out there written by less powerful Gods? I think you're basically saying it was written by real people in a real time period where things happened. I already know the book is real dude, I don't believe what's written in it... That they reference real events isn't evidence its true, not even close. It's incredibly common, not only in story telling in general, but in religions specifically. Verifiable historic events are recorded the writings of every major religion. According to your logic, ALL of them are true.
      5) "No one discloses our creation but our God in the Quran."
      Aaaaaaand again... that isn't evidence... that's just a statement. Let me try. "Only wakanda knuckles knows dah weh." See what I mean, that doesn't mean anything.
      6) "lastly, there isn’t anyone who could do the challenge of creating one chapter like the Quran"
      So your evidence is that something that was clearly written... couldn't be written? You do get that's a complete contradiction. No one can write it, you know, except the guy or even guys that wrote. It being possible to write it is self evident just by it having been written yo. All you're doing is asserting that it had to be done by a miracle. Homie it isn't even that impressive. Go read the Dark Tower series by Stephen King and then come back and tell me how one person could write that much crap.

      But that's the problem bro, I don't have a creator, I don't believe in that stuff. For any of this trash logic to make sense, you have to believe FIRST and then you make up the rest to justify it.

      You even try to follow my format but only address a single issue from your previous bs shpeal. For some reason you think only God could tell us how babies are made even though animal husbandry had been around for thousands of years by then. Maybe if they had figured out cell division you'd have some argument here, but they didn't, this is the result of observation.
      "is this not sufficient evidence? ready for any question."
      It isn't even evidence. Here let me help you.
      Evidence: "the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid."

    A few problems. The title is slightly dishonest clickbait, but I'm not overly irritated by that - it is TH-cam, everyone misleads and equivocates.
    There are 3 problems in the video I think.
    1. I would avoid projecting motivations and intellectual roadblocks onto others, it does nobody any good and cartoons your credibility. If there's a valid and sound argument for god, and i reject it, then I'm being irritational. I haven't seen one, and not aware of anybody who has.
    2. Get rid of the phrase 'undeniable proof' because that is literally meaningless and is (accidental or perhaps deliberate) misdirection. The existence of a specific God is an epistemic proposition, and therefore any argument to that end will be a posteriori. Therefore, 'proof' doesn't apply at all, as proofs only apply to deductive arguments that are a priori. You're just asking the wrong question, and one that is impossible to answer. What you ought to be looking for is evidence sufficient to warrant belief - and that would be in an inductive/abductive argument. Of course, that relies on the proposition being falsifiable...so you'd have to define God first in away that is falsifiable. If you can't, then how can you believe it?
    3. Your justification for believing (after wading through a lot of preamble) appears to be as follows (please elaborate if I'm mistaken, or the specifics were unspoken):
    'I asked God to show me a sign that he exists, and he did'.
    Did you ask for specifics, and did those specifics occur within set parameters or controls? If not, then that's absolutely worthless. You might as well have said 'Dear God, I'd like to believe in you so much that I'm talking to you under the presupposition that you exist, can hear me, and can respond with a world action. Please allow me to subjectively interpret a random event at any point in the future, as my subjective interpretation of a specific God, talking to me'. 'IF' the only thing you did is only what you said, then what you did is the above.
    What did you ask God to do, and what justification do you have for believing God did it?
    I'd genuinely like to know, and this addressed at specifically at Brian, so I would appreciate if this comment wasn't swarmed by other people and derailed - as is the normal.
    I'd appreciate any response and apologise if I was unkind or overly confrontational in my reply - it can be difficult to avoid being sarcastic when you have a significant disagreement, and I'm forceful in making a point, but smugness from either interlocutor doesn't encourage a good exchange. All the best.

    What I find prideful is asserting you have esoteric knowledge about the nature of existence and its origins because you have a book you claim reveals absolute truth. I admit I know nothing and seek knowledge, not truth. And you think I'm prideful for questioning the claims every theist makes? Not just Christians, but Muslims, Hindis, Jains, and all the rest.
