Then along comes a charismatic apocalyptic preacher who started a cult, then was deified in a Game of Telephone.

Just as entangled particles in a quantum system prove there's a non-local immaterial channel through which particles are aware of one another, consciousness might as well be immaterial. Copenhagen interpretation provides a mathematical model for predicion, but forces academics to go on the route "shut up and calculate", ignoring the "How" or "Why" questions.

    The old "I don't understand a subject, so therefore I plug in the supernatural to explain it" method of avoiding doing the hard work of studying and research. I am both an artist and an art historian. There is a great deal of research into the entire field of aesthetics, which is what this guy is invoking.
    To start with, he has no idea what causes the sensation of beauty but as much as it is hard to describe in words, virtually every human being knows what beauty is. It is an experience.
    Basically it results from evolutionary forces with two main driving forces. (1) As fruit eaters, the great apes developed a third color receptor in our eyes so that we can experience a larger gamut of colors vs most other mammals. And the red/orange/yellow coloir range signals ripe fruit. Thus our appreciation of the colors in a sunset can be directly correlated to a reward response in the brain to discovering something that makes us feel good. It is entirely possible that the great apes are the only mammals that experience sunsets as something we call beautiful. Certainly humans are the only animals with the sophistcated language that allows us to communicate this with each other and make paintings, poems, music, etc to express what we feel about it.
    (2) We are hard wired for pattern recognition. In evolutionary terms, an animal that can discern the difference between random natural noises, and the rhythmic sounds produced by an animal walking of breathing has an improved ability to survive when an animal is hunting them. Pattern recognition probably evolved first in reptiles, amongst land organisms, and grew out of a basic rhythmic behavior which we see amongst cold blooded creatures across the globe, but we also see pattern recognition amongst marine species, so it probably ultimately originated in the sea.
    It is common for reptiles to communicate to other reptiles that they have found a warm bit of sun to bask in by swaying back and forth in a very simple kind of dance. As a result lizards, and other retiles, commonly bask in groups of two or more even though they are not social species. This has the evolutionary advantage of ensuing the better survival of the group despite not appearing to outwardly care for each other as individuals. We observe that alligators will commonly congregate, and this appears to stem from a recognition that groups form near a food source, so therefore joining the group leads to a greater chance of eating.
    Likewise bees are seen to communicate their excitement of discovering a source of pollen and they do a kind of dance that communicates what and where. By dancing they increase the survival prospects of the hive. Survival gives a pleasure response within the brain.
    Schooling fish and flocking birds often move in a coordinated manner that stems from following very basic patterns that have the result of improving mutual survival through group behavior.
    Dance is the earliest form of art, seen in multiple animal groups, and has clearly existed for hundreds of millions of years.
    Humans have a larger brain, and language. When you mix the rhythmic nature of dance with vocalisation, you get music. Humans make the most sophisticated extension of dance, divide it into two types we label as dance and music, but it is all just an extension of rhythms that originated in very basic behaviors that are fundamental across species and animal groups. We can describe responses to patterns and visual stimuli as being fundamental to life. It is always connected to improving survival.
    As hominids developed ever more sophisticated culture, our responses to pattern recognition, rhythm, and visual signals meant we developed ever more sophisticated cultural experiences, however, the biggest mistake the caller makes about this is in thinking that spoken language must be applied to all of these things. He does not understand that music is itself the language that describes those particular group of feelings. Dance is also a language. Painting and sculpture are languages. Poetry is a language. They are all languages that express feelings that are not directly translatable into spoken language. We need to use the type of language that best suits different kinds of experiences.
    He is attempting to shoehorn spoken language into the experience of music. This confuses him. If he simply allowed himself to experience the music for what it is, and let the joy flow in his brain, he is simply experiencing what it is all about - the primitive part of the brain responding to rhythm. Music is not just a simple pattern. We like patterns that have small surprises. We like patterns that build suspense, but allow release. We like patterns that repeat. We do not like overly complex patterns. He is over-thinking the experience.
    In poetry we also like patterns. There are patterns in literature. A story has a beginning, a middle, and a conclusion. We love happy endings, but more than that we like stories that evoke emotion and make us connect to the characters. Writers construct these things in a poetic manner that causes pleasure. The stories are not just random facts, they follow a predictable pattern. Not so predictable that we get bored, but it does follow an artistic progression that stimulates feelings of pleasure.
    We love paintings of landscapes that are not just random scenes, but reveal beauty and artistry. The artist uses concepts such as the rule of thirds, golden ratio, and other devices that cause the viewer to appreciate the things in the scene and to provoke both thought and emotion.
    Art can be awesome, but that is not the same as thinking that it cannot be understood. Mozart famously would study the way balls on a billiard table move as they bounced off each other and bounced off the sides. He was consciously looking for patterns that he could incorporate into his compositions. He was remarkable for the endless variety within his music, but not because it came from god, but because as a human, Mozart was able to use his brain to continually reinvent the types of patterns he was using. Rather than turning this into an obscure mystery, as the caller is doing, we should instead stand in awe that a man was able to do this most human of things in a way that is so very creative.
    There may well exist something that points to a god, but all that music does is point to the fact that we are evolved animals with a cultural ability that is different to other animals. Art points to evolution, and survival. Nothing more. And knowing that allows me to appreciate it even more for what it is rather than what it is not.

      I lecture in this sort of thing - what is art? What is beauty? How did it originate? What makes great art great and memorable, and so on. Theists often distrust tertiary education because it causes them to investigate the way we investigate so much of the way the human brain functions. The uneducated think that love is a mystery, while a Neurology graduate will have discovered the interplay between DNA, electrical impulses, and how evolution has created something that operates as a feeling computer, producing chemistry in the process in a marvellous emergence of consciousness. We are only in the first century of figuring out how it all works, and it is a study that will take centuries, but some of the broad stroke stuff such as understanding the mechanics of how and why we make music is amongst the easier things to comprehend. The thing that I find really incredible is how, through teaching, we can communicate the experience of the past and inspire students to find true joy in following their passions.
      Instead of relying on his own incredulity, the caller would benefit by enrolling in any university that will require him to attend a beginning philosophy class in his first semester. I often see theist fundamentalists who start with stubborn resistance to considering any proposition other than 'god did it' and gradually discover that analysing the how and why of thinking processes benefits them in everything else they do. Logic should always be a compulsory class, but it rarely is. They tend to not thank their philosophy lecturers, but the lecturers have the satisfaction of observing how these very resistant believers will in most cases bloom into more curious individuals with at least some understanding about how the world works outside the simplistic explanations in their respective holy books.

    The fact that we can't fully describe the impact of music means that it was created by a higher power? Yet we know that music is created by persons. The power to create music is clearly within the capacity of humans. How does the fact that we may not be able to describe it imply anything beyond the fact that we can't describe it? Why does describing it have a higher priority than creating it? As far as know, there are no gods that create music. We know that there are humans who do.
    As far as a definition of God is concerned, I didn't hear that this question was raised at all in this video. It's puzzling to me that the issue ever really comes into contention. 99% of the persons who ever use the term "God" mean something very close to this: an omnipotent, omniscient, personal, singular, unitary entity who created, owns, and rules the universe and has the power to abrogate natural law at will and has a particular interest in human affairs.
    Theists who use some fuzzier, less specific definition like "God is love," for instance, are simply trying to evade the issue and get away with a murky concept that is too vague to be challenged. It's also an equivocation. The concept of God does not conterminously map onto the concept of love. "X loves Y." There is nothing in that statement that implies anything about the existence of God as anyone normally understands the word. When we use the term "love" we are very rarely making any reference to the concept of "God." "God is love" blatherers are also reifying a quality. Love is not a thing. Love is an emotional relationship that sentient beings have in respect to other things or beings. So, saying "God is love" is just horsesh*t.
    Ditto with "God is the universe, God is everything, God is universal consciousness," etc. Almost everyone who "believes in God" believes in something analogous to a "guy in the sky." They believe in a discrete entity with opinions, likes, dislikes, thoughts, perceptions, intentions, and who commits acts of intention. That's what the word "God" fundamentally means to almost everyone.
    Of course, to Jordan Peterson, God is "the highest value in the hierarchy of values." This is one of most ridiculous, vague equivocations and reifications on the market. But it does get him out from under the burden of having to offer a meaningful definition or evidence for the existence of God, while still implying (but never stating) that he "believes in God." Peterson gets the 1st-place, all-time Weasel Award in the category of Belief in God.

Music is pretty formulaic, you can do a lot of crazy stuff in experimental pieces (and a lot of classics today were once experimental), but the vast majority of the music we hear day to day is on a rhythm that kind of lines up with our internal clock, with pleasing sounds that match up with the rhythm, all layered on top of each other.

    I think the word Billy needs to describe the indescribable is numinous. And we know there's a bit of our brain that's responsible for that feeling, something which evolution can handily explain. Genuinely he's a pretty good example for the evolution of religion and why it's been so important. Somewhere back in his family tree someone experienced numinous sensations that helped that ancestor live. Like drumming felt spiritual and kept his tribe together through the night sitting at a fire drumming rather than walking away alone and being eaten.
    For millions of years life was full of things we couldn't explain or understand to the point of madness. "Why does the sun return? Why does it go away sometimes?! Might it go away forever !??!!"
    Repeat that for every single natural phenomena that as a hunter gatherer was a matter of life and death that would seem incomprehensible. If we hadn't, as a species, been able to find a way to navigate the mysteries of existence we wouldn't have been able to grow as a species that let us start to find answers. Meaning those of our ancestors that were happy to trust that a magic rock because they had a numinous experience were able to go to work and gather food rather than be terrified about the unknown. Repeat that for millions of years and we're left with this chunk of our brain which was useful and gives us very cool experiences. Which is again we can see light up in our brains and document and understand.
    Also I'm writing this while being told about how I could learn about the LDS and that they'll send me my own missionary and I'm soooo tempted. But also I would rather do anything else recreationally with my spare time.

      @@BeefT-Sq As there has never been any supporting evidence for any alleged contact with god, I am under no obligation to accept such religious myths.

      I don't think using someone who abused their knowledge to justify a lack of empathy is saying what you think it is.

    My cats love the taste and smell of catnip and cat treats for reasons that they can't possibly describe or explain. Purina, however, understands it quite well. Does that make Purina a god, or at least a god of cats?

    I am often told that I get it wrong because I just don't understand the bible. So when the bible says Exodus 33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. This doesn't mean god spoke to Moses face to face this is obvious because 1 John 4:12 No man hath seen God at any time. What we need is a theist to tell us what words to change so it all makes sense.

    I think "Billy" is befuddled by a lot of things. For example. Popcorn is a "miracle" if you don't how it works. Lol.
