  • A few people have sent me this video, featuring a man who claims to be able to prove God's existence with nothing more than a die. I apologise in advance for the orange tint; I'm new to this whole DSLR business.
    Also, it's come to my attention since filming this video that similar points to mine have been raised by Tracie Harris on an episode of the Atheist Experience, so if you'd like another take on the argument, you can watch her here: • Tracie Harris' Fallacy...

      Basic Christianity evidence
      IF Christianity is true would YOU become a Christian? If yes thank you for seeking truth. If no then you are on a happiness quest and have irrelevant subjective objections to God which wouldn’t matter if he’s real anyway. For the truth seekers still here please look into this stuff.
      First of all whoever is reading this Jesus died as a sacrifice for the punishment for our sins so we can attain eternal life through him. All you have to do is accept that gift and follow him. If Christianity is false you live a meaningless life without following God and win and lose nothing. If
      Christianity is true and you reject you receive punishment for your sins which is eternal separation from God and everything that has to do with God’s nature commonly known as hell. Before any of your objections come into play if Christianity is true they don’t matter. I urge you to research. God bless.
      The reason I believe is because of the evidence, the probability of a creator, eye witness testimony to miracles, people’s life experience, and my life experience.
      Look into the resurrection evidence, the fine tuning argument, the moral argument, the teleological argument, the cosmological argument, purpose, love, law, order, Biblical prophecy, look into Christian miracles, eye witness testimony to miracles, life testimonies from Christians, look into Jesus’ impact on society such as what year we are in right now and why, look into the historical evidence of Christianity, science stated in the Bible, the archeological evidence for Christianity. That should give you a great place to start if you are skeptic you shouldn’t trust me on the matter. You should seek out all these things to the fullest.
      Great resources:
      Frank Turek has quick short to the point TH-cam videos on misconceptions about Christianity, evidence, and more great place to start. William Lane Craig has a great channel as well.

      Read:
      “Is God a moral monster?” “I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist” “Stealing from God” and “A Case for Christ”
      If you research this while pursuing nothing but the truth with an open heart with all objections aside you will find God. I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist. You’ll understand what that means once you see this evidence. Anyone who has “evidence against Christianity” I urge them to type in what that evidence is and watch a Christian apologist refute it.

      Most people, including myself are atheistic for philosophical reasons, not materialistic ones, so if you could show actual proof of your Abrahamic god, then I would convert back to Christianity, and I’m sure a lot of others would to.
      But the burden of poor is on you, not me, I don’t have to refute your god and play your sad little game of apologetics because I’m not bothering people with it. Im just trying to exist in my own space.

If no then you are on a happiness quest and have irrelevant subjective objections to God which wouldn’t matter if he’s real. For the truth seekers still here please look into this stuff. Also what do you have to lose? If you find this claim to be true you have answered the biggest question in the universe. If you find it to be false your life has no objective meaning anyway so the time you spent Research wouldn’t hurt whatsoever.
      First of all whoever is reading this Jesus loves his creation died as a sacrifice for the punishment for our sins so we can attain eternal life through him. All you have to do is accept that gift and follow him. If Christianity is false you live an objectively purposeless life so by researching and win and lose nothing. If Christianity is true and you reject you receive punishment for your sins which is eternal separation from God and everything that has to do with God’s nature commonly known as hell. If Christianity is true you discover the BIGGEST answer to the BIGGEST question in the entire known universe. Before any of your objections come into play if Christianity is true they don’t matter. Remember this. Just because you don’t like the truth doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Also many people don’t fully understand the faith and have MANY misconceptions that if they actually did research on the Christian point of view rather than just looking into atheistic objections they would see what i’m arguing for. I urge you to research.
      My personally reasons for faith.
      The reason I believe and have faith in that belief is because of the evidence, the probability of a creator, eye witness testimony to miracles, people’s life experience, everything we as humans know about science, and my life experience. I’ve witnessed miracles, signs, and wonders science could never explain.
      Look into the resurrection evidence, the fine tuning argument, the moral argument, the teleological argument, the cosmological argument. Think about how things like purpose and love seem like they actually matter rather than irrelevant chemical reactions. Look into the law and order of the known universe. The only reason we can even do science the way we do is on the assumption the universe has order. Look into Biblical prophecy, look into Christian miracles, eye witness testimony to miracles, life testimonies from Christians, Watch near death experiences where people see Jesus or heaven and hell (especially from former atheists), look into Jesus’ impact on society such as what year we are in right now and why, look into the historical evidence of Christianity, look science stated in the Bible before humans discovered it. Look into the archeological evidence for Christianity. Look into the laws of logic especially cause and effect and how that would point to a creator along with many other things. That should give you a great place to start if you are skeptic you shouldn’t just trust me on the matter. You should seek out all these things to the fullest.
      If you research this while pursuing nothing but the truth with an open heart with all objections aside you will find God. I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist.

      However, can we examine if the ways you've listed are reliable ways to ascertain the truth?
      Just a few questions for you:
      You mentioned personal experiences of others and yourself. Is this a reliable way to know that God is true? What about people from other religions who claim their God is real because of personal experiences?
      You mention non-believers having eternity to lose if they're wrong. But what if you're wrong and the true God is actually that of another religion? What if the real God values atheists the most?
      If you look at all the philosophical arguments like fine tuning and cosmological arguments etc. Are they falsifiable or refutable? If they were refuted in your eyes, would that lower your confidence in your faith?
      You say you've seen miracles, signs, and wonders that can't be explained. If you found out that they had good scientific explanations, would that lower your confidence in your God claim?
      What about purpose. Is your faith the only way to achieve purpose? What about non-believers and their own purposes. What do you suppose they may have as purpose?
      What about emotions such as love. If they are explained by science in a natural way, do they become any less real of an experience?
      And how about the historical evidence. If you found likely scientific alternatives to that evidence, would that lower your confidence in your belief?
      If you are one who truly values truth and reason, please answer these questions so we can have a respectful discussion. This is critical because of the impact beliefs, and especially false bliefs can have on individuals and society.
      Thanks.

      That’s actually a very good analogy. We are the way we are because of how the universe turned out, not the other way around. It really doesn’t make sense that the universe is the way it is because we are a certain way since the universe is way way way older. It’s like saying that the hole looks a certain way because of the shape of the puddle, even though the hole existed before the puddle and the puddle itself cannot be a set shape, exactly like life. If the universe changed (of course if it was a slow change) then we would also change along with it so we could survive in it.

      Alex returns to the dice analogy to explain the liklihood of 2,3,4,5 is as likely as 6,6,6,6 this is true but it is also kind of the point of the video. Many equally likely outcomes are possible but only a limited number of outcomes allow for any kind of complexity in the universe at all. Given all the variables it would be unfathomably more likely that the universe would collapse or be homogenous or rapidly expand with no complexity and therfore no life.
      The rules of the universe are not subject to evolutionary processes in the way suggested. They are more the parameters under which evolutionary processes occur. You could make a kind of evolutionary argument if there is an infinite multiverse out there but that remains speculation. As it stands we have a sample size of one universe. That is the central point of the video imo. Given a sample size of one universe isn't it remarkable that its shaken out the way that it has, given the possible arrangements vs the arrangements that could support any kind of complexity, nevermind life. Obviously life could adapt to some variance in conditions but there are many key variables which have to have values that support any kind of a complex universe at all.
      Alex gets around this by suggesting that the universal constants were constrained in some way, that would counteract the improbability of the observation of the universal constants as they all are. But essentially this just boils down to the point that there might be an explanation that we aren't aware of, which is of course possible but is kind of throwing the hands up.

      You don't even need a mathematician to explain it. You can't establish the probability of something from a sample of one, with no probability distribution. So, the theist can't show that the fundamental constants having the values that they do is improbable. For all they can show, they may be overwhelmingly probable, or even necessary.

      +Jordan Peckham - How the Big Bang started isn't known, but the background radiation - and the present average heat levels of that radiation, coupled with the knowledge that the universe is presently expanding (because of the red shift seen in objects far away from us), which implies that there was something that happened to "push" everything that way. There's more, and it's interesting reading. But there is a lot of evidence that the Universe began with an expansion. Not necessarily an explosion in the supernova sense (The term "Big Bang" is misleading in that regard), but an expansion. .A very rapid one. So, either you've been under a rock for about the past 80 or so years, don't read scientific information that follows the rules of the scientific method, or you're a troll...or some combination of the three. The scientific method absolutely supports the notion of a rapid initial expansion, and based on existing evidence, that initial expansion took place about 14 billion years ago.
      The difference between the scientific method and religion: Science says, "I don't know" when there isn't evidence to support a good hypothesis. Religion says, "I know" - just like Ken Ham does in some of his videos and writings, when there is no way for them to have any certainty - at all - about what they believe.

    This dice guy makes a very common misuse of probabilities.Probabilities cannot be applied to the past, they are a tool for predicting the future. The probability that the past happened as it did is exactly 1. In addition, the universe is not fine tuned for life. Life is just what matter sometimes does (probably reasonably rarely) and matter as we experience it every day accounts for maybe 1 or 2 percent of the total energy of the universe. If the universe is finely tuned for anything, it is finely tuned for making black holes as they are far more common that life. He also propagates the misconception that a probability of 1 in 10 to the 55th power means that it will take that many years to roll his sequence. While probability says that the sequence will only occur on average once in that time, it could just as easily happen on the first 72 rolls as anywhere else. As an example, let's play Yahtzee. The probability of rolling five of a kind on a single roll is less than one in ten thousand but I have seen it done many times and have not seen anywhere near as many as ten thousand rolls. And finally, he is assuming that the universe could only happen once, which is not a valid assumption, it lacks proof. Maybe we live in the 10 to the 75th universe to form and one like ours was long overdue.

    • @AlcyonEldara

      The probability of getting ANY OTHER COMBINATION is 1295/1296.
      In other words a 99.922839506% chance that you won't get that combination .

      Whoops, your addition is wrong. the second number should be 0.077160493%.
      Also, that only works as a valid analogy when all four die must be rolled at once. For events that don't depend on each other (unrelated events that occur sequentially) once each roll occurs, the probabilities are reset so you get a 1 in 6 followed by a 1 in 6 ... and they don't multiply to form an overall probability. Once an event is in the past, its probability changes to 1.

    • @AlcyonEldara

Your content is excellent, even here, 3 years ago, really articulate points, citing sources, all the things the science-y/skeptic side of me loves. I’d like to point out your quote from the end of this video. (Though a common line of thinking in the general atheist/skeptic circle,! I just found it really well said.) “We have no way of knowing if the universe wanted or needed to end up this way, we just have to accept that it did. Let’s not presuppose that there’s any kind of goal or ultimate plan to the universe. Why would we want to abide by some kind of cosmic plan when we could create our own?”

      Hello, my friend 😊 About the quote.
      I see a very bold paradox in this statement. How does planning without knowing possible? The first step to planning something is by knowing it. Isn't it?
      I also see some sort of bold "believe": "We have no way of knowing if the universe wanted or needed to end up this way". It's like at age e.g 10 I say to myself I don't know and never can know why I'm going to school so I will create my own school! I'm sure everyone can know the big "Why" someday.
      I also found an illusional way of thinking: "Let’s not presuppose that there’s any kind of goal or ultimate plan to the universe" It's only the opposite of other "organized religions" they say let's suppose there is the plan, here he says let's suppose there is no plan.
      What I'm saying basically is that just believing in something is not very useful

In this universe as far as we know yes. But if the universe expanded faster then other elements would've existed. And there's an equal likelyhood that this universe would sustain life as that one that expanded faster. So his argument that our universe is something special because it sustains life is completely false.

      Edge Is Love, Edge Is Life It doesn't prove or disprove anything in either case. "We haven't found anything else, so there must be a god" and "we don't know of there is anything else, but there might be" are both speculative. Neither statement is ultimately based on science. You're taking a chance and saying "well there MIGHT be something out there, so God doesn't exist." That's not scientific at all.
      But the fact remains that, so far, we have not found any other life in the universe, a fact that supports the Bible's historical credibility. Dealing with what we have now is more scientific than trying to make conclusions and assertions on maybes.

      3:38 Also, no, the numbers do not check out. His "mathematician friend" actually fucked it up so badly I doubt that person actually exists. If we calculate it like this...
      "roll 70 times, check if they're all 6s, if not try again"
      ...we'd expect to have it happen once in ~3*10^54 tries (once in 6^70, easy stuff). With 5 seconds per roll, that's 350s per attempt, so in total ~10^50 years. That's a big number, but if you were to write it out, then write as many zeroes AGAIN as the real solution has, you'd still be nowhere close to what he said.
      And this is still an overestimate. What if you rolled 35 ones and then 35 sixes, and then 35 sixes followed by 35 twos? You'd get 70 sixes in a row then, just spread between two series of rolls, not something this calculation accounted for. Without going into detail, accounting for it gives us ~5*10^47 years, so 500 times less than that still.

  • @ZachsMind
    @ZachsMind 7 ปีที่แล้ว +27

    What I find endlessly frustrating about arguments like this is how there is no way they can connect the dots to their own subjective perception of a god and yet they do it anyway. This is just as ludicrous as claiming unicorns exist because there are horses without horns, and there are other animals which have horns, so naturally horses with horns are possible. Therefore unicorns are magic and you can use a virgin to trap one and oh by the way the Faerie realm and dragons are real too. No connecting the dots but even if you don't grant them an inch, they'll take miles.
    As pointed out at the end of this video, even if this "roll of the dice" argument were convincing, which it's not, that still doesn't prove the Abrahamic god was the "First Mover." It's simply that the Believer only has that god in mind and so assumes if we can prove someone rigged the dice, that someone must be their personal sky daddy. There are other sky daddies, and there are other Creator concepts, and there are possible explanations that don't require gods or magic, and there's also the simple fact we don't yet know because we require more data, and we may never know for several generations, and that should be perfectly okay to accept. For them it's not, so connect the dots without dots.
    What frustrates me further is that I have known for years that the Abrahamic god has technically been debunked since Galileo, perhaps even before that. I was born into an entire society that has blatantly lied to me, and I didn't figure it out until less than a decade ago. Most recently, the scientific discipline of genetics has proved that the story of Adam and Eve could not have happened literally as described in the bible or quran. When we mapped the human genome, there was enough evidence there to debunk Abrahamics once and for all. Therefore, judeo-christian-islamic beliefs are soundly illegitimate. It's not just "well you can't prove my god doesn't exist!" If it's the Abrahamic god, yes we have. On multiple fronts, but I only need this one: The X chromosome preceded the Y chromosome. Therefore Eve was never made from Adam. If there is a god, it's not the one described in Abrahamic dogma. And yet NO ONE cares about this! Believers and nonbelievers alike agree that the bible and quran tell stories which are allegorical, and yet still believers insist that despite this acknowledgement of fiction, they still claim Abrahamic dogma is the literal word of their god. So now we connect the dots without dots or lines or even paper. There's nothing here and yet dots are magically presumed to be connected.
    It is impossible to argue this further with people who do not accept the idea of science. We reach an impasse between those who accept facts and those who prefer delusions over the observable universe. Trying to explain this to Believers is like trying to teach a pigeon how to play chess. Literally.. okay figuratively, but it feels like it should be literally.

The only parts of science that religious people claim to be untrue are the only parts that contradict their god. However they don't seem to realise that all science is linked - if evolution is false, then genetics would be false, then genetic mutation/diversity would be false, then medicine would be false etc. It's always funny seeing a creationist using quantum physics (however poorly) to back up their claims.

What some religious people might say is, because God created humans, he placed all of the supplies we would need to make ourselves better, here on Earth for us humans to find them, then in a way we are still relying on God for help because if he hadn't blessed" us with the items to make this cure then we would be dead.

    My bag of loose change (around 1200 coins) split the other day when I picked it up in the lounge. The coins have fallen and rolled all over the place, rolling behind chairs, table legs, under the radiator, down cracks in the floorboards and even into the kitchen. Some were on top of others, some on their side. Any miniscule change in the height and momentum of the bag above ground immediately before/during the bag split, or air flow in the house, arrangement of coins within the bag, imperceptible weakness of the plastic bag that determined how it split, etc. would have meant that the coins would have ended up in different places, or maybe the bag would not have split at all. That doesn't sound remarkable or amazing unless you give the actual arrangement of spilt coins some special significance. If the conditions and nature of the universe were different then... things would be different.

      If this is true, since human life exists, the probability of human life to exist was 1 in the universe.
      But if the probability of a system to create something is 1, it's pretty safe to say that the purpose of the system was to create the thing in question (in this case: human life).
      But the truth that the probability of something that happened, to have happened, being 1, doesn't mean that its probability was 1 from the start, so the original commenter is wrong, his point is invalid.

    Great video. But I don't like using the phrased "fine-tuning" or "tuned". These imply that someone tuned the universe, which is false. Various numbers or constants are what they are, and if they were slightly different, life may have turned out differently or not at all: there is no way to know and it is pure speculation.
    We don't even have a good definition of life, and there may be forms of life vastly different than our own, in other parts of the universe. Statistically unlikely events happen all the time in a universe as vast as ours.
    All gods are human inventions, the creation of primitive people who used superstition and religion to explain the world, before the scientific method replaced those archaic practices. Most people cling to religion because it was inculcated in them as children via tradition and culture. Religion will eventually die out like many viruses.

      "All gods are human inventions, the creation of primitive people who used superstition and religion to explain the world,"
      I agree, except for the "primitive people"... after all we see new religions like Mormonism or Scientology or redefinitions of old beliefs like the whole woowoo of "New Age" pseudo religious movements emerge in cultures that are not exactly primitive in the caveman sense...
      Religions are the attempt to give an answer and potentially a soothing explanation for a question that does not even make sense... where do we go when we die. What do you mean "go"?
      It's all a sham targeted at minimising the fear of the unknown which in this case basically means the awareness of our mortality and how short life is measured against the vast length of time e.g. our planet existed... And the only BAD part in it is that a) the answers people found for themselves to sooth their fears also include this highly missionary fervor to get others to join you in these fruitless enterprises and b) that more often than not a certain type of human will insert itself in between the happy followers that feel honestly attached to the answer and the "higher authority" and will abuse the trust and faith of the believers to enrich themselves and enjoy the sweet lifestyle without any rational base for their life comforts...
      If you'd remove churches and priests from the equasion and could convince everybody to keep their answer for themselves if not specifically asked for it (especially not forcing it into their kids heads to feel safer about them sharing the "after death" fate of your choice with you) religion would be harmless and could be ignored. Everybody has strange ideas in the depths of their minds. It is only this zealousy to spread them out and forcefeed them to everybody else, including through actual physical force that makes religions so vile and disgusting.

    Take for instance something as simple as me picking up a pencil. To calculate the odds of that happening tracing back to even the beginning of recorded history is going to be a larger number than you can write out in a lifetime.
    Just think about all the things that had to occur in the proceeding thousands of years for my parents to be born, then my parents to meet, for them to have sex at just the right moment and the sperm that would become me to win out against all those billions of other sperm, then for me to go through all the events in my life that would lead me to picking up that pencil.

    That's quite the leap. Is there a god? Perhaps. Is it any of the pantheons we've had on earth? No. Is it the Abrahamic "God" that is oh so popular here in the west? Most definitely not.
    The deities that have been worshipped on earth are simply reflections of us, we created them in our image. It's a bit more apparent when you look at Shintou, Hinduism, the old Greco/Roman, Celtic and Norse pantheons, as these Gods often possess character flaws that are incredibly human (e.g. the story about Arachne, or the Apple of Discord).
    Is there a possibility for some kind of creator force to exist? Sure, we haven't been able to prove otherwise. Arguing however that it's the ever fickle "God" that likes to unleash hell upon mankind, just to embrace it later, is just plain idiotic.

    Another good job Alex, Bravo!
    Your interlocutor has presented a series of presuppositions and logical fallacies that you recognized and countered well.
    The assumption is that there is one being rolling a die, in fact the universe has already existed for billions of years at least, and random combinations in that amount of time, with no direction, can be viewed as a kind of "evolution" with survival of the fittest results. From a human perspective "fittest" obviously means most suitable for humanity as we know it on the world as we know it.
    Considering the difficulties presented by human anatomy [far from perfect], an environment fairly hostile to human life [including diseases, parasites, predators, the often hostile climate, etc.], and, of course, the plain evidence that the vast majority of the universe [even considering only the radiation and near vacuum of space] is not only hostile to humans but to life itself [as far as we know it], the fine tuning argument is absurd. It amounts to special pleading and argument from incredulity.
    I am neither a mathematician, nor philosopher, but given very long, if not exactly infinite, time the possibility or probability of results can hardly be so easily discerned, nor can chance be dismissed in favor of a comforting anthropomorphic "Prime Cause."
    Keep up the good work.

    one thing I hate is when people bring up chance, so if the world was different would we still say what's the chances of it turning out how it did? do you see where I'm going with this? no matter how things turn out it's all one in whatever big number you want to give.

    someone once said to me that the chance to roll a 6 on a dice is 50/50. you either do or don't roll a 6. I found this thought very entertaining. thought I'd share it with you all for a good giggle at least.

    @benjaminvroman5553 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Your description of the fallacies this boy is making are great! Also, I'd like to point out that this guy is describing the roll of the die in a flawed way. The way he describes it, he basically rolls a die, it lands on a 6, and he goes, "WOW! WHAT ARE THE CHANCES?!" Essentially he describes the results of the roll, as well as the state of the universe, and our existence as the way things were "meant to be." Recently, I was thinking to myself about theists and others who make this assumption. I realized that the argument they're making doesn't really work. In any universe or any place where the things required in order to yield life aren't met, there would be no one to make the observation that: "this is the likely outcome." Probability is a comprehensive and effective measurement of likelihood and answering "Why?", but I don't find it all that productive to figure out the probability of something occurring, after it has already happened (unless it is for science, or this event may occur again). I'm not saying it's bad to do, but it can't really be used as a crutch in place of evidence. Again, probability in tandem with other evidence can be used effectively and validly. Anyway, what I was getting at was our inherent human logical fallacy for assuming that events, especially ones we interpret to be unlikely, must have a reason. Well, they don't. At least not that I know of. And, even if they do, the reason isn't to spread Christianity. My point here I guess is just that if the events necessary to create us hadn't occurred, you wouldn't be here to question them. I don't know if this makes sense or not, I guess just lmk.

    well the creation of a character requires various dice rolls sometimes even requiring you to roll more than one dice or a dice with a different probability

  • @BrianaLynn7
    @BrianaLynn7 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I remember learning about this in elementary school. I remember my teacher rolling a dice and then saying how probable is it to get another 6? and we all said it was more and she explained how it wasn't true.

  • @romancvijanovic7130
    @romancvijanovic7130 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    @2:35 @CosmicSkeptic, you misinterpreted him. He obviously stated "in a row". To explain it more clearly he implied that if he wanted to roll a 6 n times in a row the probability of him succeeding in that is 1 divided by 6 to the power of n.
    Don't nitpick, he didn't say anything wrong in that regard. Oh yes, I don't support him or his ridiculous idea I just disliked that one misinterpretation of yours.

    Well explained. Just like a card analogy, every single hand (or sequence of rolls) is equally unlikely, which means that rarity in and of itself tells us nothing. It's not until we imbue certain outcomes with importance that their scarcity becomes meaningful.... which makes the entire exercise a question begging circle jerk. _"I can prove the universe was uniquely designed for life.... so long as you let me presume it was designed for life!"_

    Your video editing software should have a color balance/correction ability. It probably still won't come out perfect but it would improve the video significantly. Btw, part of the problem is also the type of lighting used. Some bulbs are better than others when it comes to filming. I'm sure you already know tons more about this than I do, just a reminder to maybe pack a good bulb or two for trips in case you decide to do a video... or maybe do it in front of a window during the day. There are lighting kits you can get also that work even better but they are pretty expensive I think.
    Anyway, love the videos.
