The special pleading built into the Kalam Cosmological Argument has always seemed self-defeating to me. It breaks my brain that theists find this convincing.
They don't find this convincing. Theists are not theists because of Kalam. They're theists because they were brainwashed as kids. They only use Kalam as a desperate attempt to justify their unjustified beliefs to non-theists.
At least Peterson is a PhD who has been cited by other psychologists, now he is losing popularity and the people who listened to him moved on to people like Andrew Tate who are just dumb
“what do you mean by truth?” “what do you mean by reality?” yeah this guy listens to peterson. so dishonest he’ll try to make you define every single word before answering a question just to try to find a way out.

He had no idea what Occams Razor was. He was parroting an argument from someone who agreed with him and thought it sounded cool because of the "Razor" part.
I still remember the time Matt Dillahunty completely embarrassed Jordan Peterson in a live debate, so much so that Jordan refuses to debate him again. That's the guy that the caller listens to.
@@vibelet The funniest part to me was Jackie saying “As Jordan Peterson says, ‘Actions speak louder than words,’” as if that’s not just a common expression people have been using since basically the dawn of time.
Jackie starting out referring to the hosts as "opponents" and wanting to argue AGAINST the hosts rather than argue FOR his idea betrays the fact that he knows his position cant be reasonably substantiated, he just thinks he can outalk certain people. Also he was a chronic overtalker, very disrespectful.
@@the.punchline33 Talking Heads' song "Psycho Killer" has a great line about this lot. "You're talking a lot but you're not saying anything." Also, it's a great song.
Yeah, I'm surprised they stayed with him as long as they did. Matt D would have muted him several times for interrupting and trying to talk over the hosts.
He wanted them to tee up the ball or start pitching something that he could swing at. Jackie: "Say something dumb that I can pounce on". Arden: "Listen here you little shit."
It's 2024 and actually I'm a Kierkegaardian. You know, the guy who wrote "The human being is a spirit. But what is a spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self. The self is a relation which relates to itself, or that in the relation which is its relating to itself. The self is not the relation but the relation's relating to itself. A human being is a synthesis of the infinite and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and necessity. In short a synthesis. A synthesis is a relation between two terms. Looked at in this way, a human being is not yet a self." O-o-okay.
@@HarryS77 right, navel gazing claptrap. Philosophy is not science. It’s mostly dudes journaling their musings, given an air of academia by way of arcane, proprietary vernacular. A fun and potentially beneficial meditation of sorts made all too pernicious in practice, as we see here with confused Jackie.
We should make a distinction however between philosophy enthusiasts and philosophy bros. The big difference is how the latter can only seem to make their arguments by quoting big names and their arguments, but have little to offer in terms of autonomous thinking, while the former learn the work of previous thinkers and build upon it to create original arguments and fresh ideas
He's wrong but it's definitely no word salad, listen carefully. He's asking coherent points, he's just speaking a little fast is all. I less you just don't know those terms on hand which is completely fine. I understood it though, and the girls did too

"I'm calling in today to regurgitate a bunch of presuppositional word salad garbage I heard Jordon Peterson say, while being as pedantic as possible the entire time". I can barely stomach JP as it is, Jackie here has me banging my head against the wall. This call was infuriating to say the least.
Im so glad i got away from all that nonsense in (unnamed political party) before JP became famous. I know my dumb younger self would have fallen for his half assed “self help.”
This really highlights why Matt interrupts and mutes so frequently. Jackie was allowed to blather on and on and make so many fallacious statements stacked on top of each other. The hosts did a good job with a lot of them, but I believe he needed his feet held to the fire way way more.
Arden and Eve are awesome in this call. Yeah i prefer the Matt method for both entertainment and for practical purposes… but these girls hit most of the right points (in my opinion), and handled this arrogant jabber jaw well. The meltdown at the end was fun.
@@creamwobbly when the caller makes a shit ton of claims one after the one with no evidence or reason why do you want to hear more of them blathering on? Do you care if they are making fallacious claims? Or are you just wanting to hear nonsense?

He's kinda like a living oxymoron, right? It baffles my mind how someone can be a solipsist and believe in the Abrahamic god simultaneously, but oh well, lots of things go over my head.
It also happens to people when they learn about a topic in order to support their own previously held beliefs. He's not "reading philosophy". He's taking the cherry picked ideas that he's picked up from apologists and media figures. I've certainly misunderstood some things for that reason.
nope, this happens to an uneducated mind, that reads about philosophy but only that which the pastor condones and never actually understands it nor cares for why this single author and school of thought did in fact not turned into the basic of every philosophying after them
He hasn't read much philosophy - he's trying to recycle what he's heard from Peterson and his fanboys. The rapid retreat from from Kierkegaard to the Kalam shows he's a poser.
Religion is the free interpretation of ones own faith and the Church is the mega corp that makes millions of the suckers who need to show of how much "holier than thou" they are.
Clocks, we have learned, are made by humans. If you have never learned it, there is no reason to believe that a watch is made. In addition, if you think everything is manufactured, you cannot distinguish between the natural and the manufactured. The watchmaker analogy is useless.
Poor Jackie, when backed into a corner he resorts to "Special Pleading", oh my god is eternal. Then, when Jackie gets caught in a trap he resorts to the argument from incredulity/ignorance, what else could it be? Then, what it ultimately comes down to is the root problem of religion. When you subscribe to a certain set of beliefs, those beliefs inform your actions, like flying planes into buildings or limiting the rights of certain individuals because you believe your perfect entity doesn't like certain behavior. That is why it's important to keep doing what you are doing, keep up the good work.
Asking what you mean by truth and by reality when asked do you care about if something is true is so dishonest and disrespectful and you know you’re about to be backed into a corner and lose the debate

Mississippi feels in many ways like it's still culturally in the bronze age, but we are making progress. The education system has only been getting worse in the last few decades, though. I don't think pandering to the least, denominator among students has done much to help students in general. This particular caller kind of reminds me of myself when I was a Christian as a teenager. For me it took attempting to be a religious apologist to change my perspective and realize I didn't actually have good reasons for the conclusions I held. Dropping LSD for the first time when I was 16 or so also changed how I viewed other people and made me much more respectful and general especially towards people I disagreed with. It's not this kid's fault. He might actually be very intelligent, but the system he grew up in is designed to make him just the way he is on this call. There might be hope for him but there will probably be some element of luck involved. I shudder to think what my life would be like today had a particular set of circumstances not led me out of Christianity. It's terrifying how difficult it is to see the flaws in it from the inside through all the indoctrination.
Reality is also the thing u ignore to pretend "t-women are women". It's only in the mind but not in reality. They definitely exist and definitely deserve to live a happy and healthy life like every other living creature but u have to be religious in thinking to believe the phrase "t-women are women". We never get those points because ppl are silenced before it gets there. It's their show tho so no foul really
And let's be frank here: He's talking about that one popular middle eastern deity. Not a deistic 'thing', not a collective consciousness notion, not a bloody shinto storm god, but Yeshua the patron saint of lumpy white people.

Took 23 minutes when you finally got them repeating themselves like a broken record then the caller finally lets it slip and boom there it is. I'm sorry you have to put up with these horrible people that can't just let others be happy.
The Kalam. What a horrible argument. It has so many flaws, and it only appeals to those who either 1) just want an excuse to believe and who don't investigate it deeply, or 2) people who don't know a lot of physics, especially quantum physics.
@@AngryBoozerThe Kalam doesn’t even properly arrive at a cause, because it’s a circular argument. First issue, it smuggles in the assumption that there is something outside the universe by treating “universe” as a subset of everything instead of everything. Just substitute _everything_ for _universe_ in the second premise: “[Everything] began to exist.” - it’s just an assertion Moving on… The first premise implies two categories: that which begins to exist, and that which does not begin to exist. What falls in the _does not begin to exist_ category? If the only exception to _everything_ is the “uncaused cause” - the very thing you’re trying to prove - then you have a circular argument.
@@AngryBoozerI see so many videos where too much time is wasted wrapped around the Kalam. It should be explained and dismissed within two minutes as a circular argument… followed by The End.

"I'm going to say this one more time, and then I'm going to hang up." Says the thing, proceeds to keep going on the call for 10 more minutes. Cowardly liar.
Yeah. That's the conclusion of that argument. That the universe had a cause. Okay. Cool. So..the universe had a cause. Where's the god? How did anyone rule out a natural cause?

The special pleading built into the Kalam Cosmological Argument has always seemed self-defeating to me. It breaks my brain that theists find this convincing.
And then referencing Occam's Razor even as they add the assumption of an eternal being on top of the possibility of an eternal Universe. Wild.
They don't find this convincing. Theists are not theists because of Kalam. They're theists because they were brainwashed as kids. They only use Kalam as a desperate attempt to justify their unjustified beliefs to non-theists.
there goal isnt to be convinced its to find evidence that suits their beliefs

Jackie opens this up by essentially asking "What's your Pokémon type? I need to pick where to start on my flowchart"
That's an excellent way to put it
I giggled there too. He needs a school of thought to attack since he doesn't have a solid claim of his own.
@@jaytotheareokay Genuinely!! It's so sad the way some religions condition you into not thinking for yourself at all
jackie pushes more people out of religion than many atheist activists. keep it up!
Bro kept citing Jordan Peterson as a source lmao
And he kept talking like Peterson, too.
Lots of fancy words, no actual meaning at all.
And doesnt realise that it makes him sound ridiculous
I lost it when he said, "As Jordan Peterson says Actions speak louder than words".
Like dude! Jordan Peterson did NOT come up with that saying.
At least Peterson is a PhD who has been cited by other psychologists, now he is losing popularity and the people who listened to him moved on to people like Andrew Tate who are just dumb
@@petri2767he lost his ability to practice and Andrew Tate fell off massively
the patience is crazy! good on yall for doing what you do
“what do you mean by truth?”
“what do you mean by reality?”
yeah this guy listens to peterson. so dishonest he’ll try to make you define every single word before answering a question just to try to find a way out.
He thinks asking for definitions of common terms is some kind of 'gotcha' tactic and thinks he can plug in 'God' as an axiom.

YES! Why do so many conservatives think minorities are a liberals kryptonite? I'm not a liberal so that every trans person will personally like me, I'm a liberal because I agree with the policies. Does anybody actually get scared when people like Candace Owens say things like " I'm every liberals worst nightmare. I'm a black woman who disagrees."
You never see the other side of this. Nobody is out here thinking " I'm a straight, white, male liberal. This is really going to shake up the system!"
Given the number of times ive been accused of being a lonely, jobless, pink haired they/them when i am in fact a bald, married man and an aerospace quality engineer, i do occasionally point that out. Not that it matters to me, its just funny.
😂😂😂 Very good point. People confuse being a decent human being who realizes that there are other people in the world besides themselves with performative allyship and virtue signaling.
Maybe because so many liberals always resort to making everything about race and victimhood?
Very brave of dude to just admit, 'You'd be 10000x more miserable if you believed the shit I did.' Much winning argument.
I don't know how Christmas presents got under the tree, therfore Santa Claus must exist. Same logic.
For someone who referenced Occam's Razor, he sure did make a lot of assumptions..
Stupid razor 😂😂😂
He didn't seem to know what Occam's Razor was, so not surprising.
hes probably using the edgeless side of the razor 😅
@@Here_is_Waldohe seemed to believe it meant going with the assumption you feel is more likely.
He had no idea what Occams Razor was. He was parroting an argument from someone who agreed with him and thought it sounded cool because of the "Razor" part.
I still remember the time Matt Dillahunty completely embarrassed Jordan Peterson in a live debate, so much so that Jordan refuses to debate him again. That's the guy that the caller listens to.
And Dillahunty went off on 😊Jackie as well.
no good conversation ever follows the sentence "as jordan peterson says"
@@vibelet The funniest part to me was Jackie saying “As Jordan Peterson says, ‘Actions speak louder than words,’” as if that’s not just a common expression people have been using since basically the dawn of time.
Fallacy of composition?!
Just because everything within our universe has cause, doesn't mean that the universe itself needs one.
It's also weird to say that the universe needs a cause, introduce a conceptual cause, and claim that this cause must now have no cause.
Jackie starting out referring to the hosts as "opponents" and wanting to argue AGAINST the hosts rather than argue FOR his idea betrays the fact that he knows his position cant be reasonably substantiated, he just thinks he can outalk certain people. Also he was a chronic overtalker, very disrespectful.
Why is ALWAYS the chronic over talkers that cry about being interrupted? 😂
@@the.punchline33 Talking Heads' song "Psycho Killer" has a great line about this lot. "You're talking a lot but you're not saying anything."
Also, it's a great song.
Yeah, I'm surprised they stayed with him as long as they did. Matt D would have muted him several times for interrupting and trying to talk over the hosts.
He wanted them to tee up the ball or start pitching something that he could swing at.
Jackie: "Say something dumb that I can pounce on".
Arden: "Listen here you little shit."
@@the.punchline33 Because the chronic over-talkers are operating from an assumption that they and only they are allowed to speak.
I would have hung up as soon as he asked "what do you mean by reality?"
Certainly after he asked the second time!
Philosophy bros are exhaustingly ineffectual and hilariously counterproductive to their aims.
It's 2024 and actually I'm a Kierkegaardian. You know, the guy who wrote "The human being is a spirit. But what is a spirit? Spirit is the self. But what is the self. The self is a relation which relates to itself, or that in the relation which is its relating to itself. The self is not the relation but the relation's relating to itself. A human being is a synthesis of the infinite and the finite, of the temporal and the eternal, of freedom and necessity. In short a synthesis. A synthesis is a relation between two terms. Looked at in this way, a human being is not yet a self." O-o-okay.
@@HarryS77 right, navel gazing claptrap. Philosophy is not science. It’s mostly dudes journaling their musings, given an air of academia by way of arcane, proprietary vernacular. A fun and potentially beneficial meditation of sorts made all too pernicious in practice, as we see here with confused Jackie.
Completely patetic caller, but a great source to get people away from religiao, thanks caller!
We should make a distinction however between philosophy enthusiasts and philosophy bros.
The big difference is how the latter can only seem to make their arguments by quoting big names and their arguments, but have little to offer in terms of autonomous thinking, while the former learn the work of previous thinkers and build upon it to create original arguments and fresh ideas
This guy isn' ta philosophy bro though, he was just pretending, he didn't even know what Occam's razor was lol.
I just love this sudden leap in logic. "The universe absolutely needs to have a cause, and if you accept that, you can't be transgender".
He is more interested in sounding smart with word salad
Yeah, you can definitely tell he's an adherent of the Jordan Peterson school of smug prolix ignorance.
Intelligent people can usually explain something in simple terms.
Just like every JP worshipper.
It is better to be right than to sound smart.
He's wrong but it's definitely no word salad, listen carefully. He's asking coherent points, he's just speaking a little fast is all. I less you just don't know those terms on hand which is completely fine. I understood it though, and the girls did too
This caller has ZERO grasp of logic - as for most of his ilk.
If I say "I don't know what colour your car is", he would come back with "Why are you saying my car is not
red?"
the universe doesn't have a purpose. it just is. accept it
Jackie: "I can't make a convincing sentence, so I will gish gallop you with a fucking thesaurus that has no relevance."
Annoying caller
they're all annoying.
@@platinumnitrocharge4218I think that's a bit harsh. There are some good ones who call in to actually have a discussion but to be fair it does seem much less common.
Can you imagine him at your table at a wedding?
He doesn't allow for the possibility that the universe didn't have a cause, then will special plead that God doesn't.
Classic.
"I'm calling in today to regurgitate a bunch of presuppositional word salad garbage I heard Jordon Peterson say, while being as pedantic as possible the entire time". I can barely stomach JP as it is, Jackie here has me banging my head against the wall. This call was infuriating to say the least.
Im so glad i got away from all that nonsense in (unnamed political party) before JP became famous. I know my dumb younger self would have fallen for his half assed “self help.”
@@ahh_yes_mr_bax self-help so powerful it gets you on a benzo addiction
Causality requires time. Time (at least as we know it) did not exist at the singularity. Therefore, casuality "before" the big bang is nonsensical.
This really highlights why Matt interrupts and mutes so frequently. Jackie was allowed to blather on and on and make so many fallacious statements stacked on top of each other. The hosts did a good job with a lot of them, but I believe he needed his feet held to the fire way way more.
Arden and Eve are awesome in this call. Yeah i prefer the Matt method for both entertainment and for practical purposes… but these girls hit most of the right points (in my opinion), and handled this arrogant jabber jaw well. The meltdown at the end was fun.
No.
I was able to hear the caller. I wanted to hear the caller. When that beardy guy gets on you can't hear the caller, just him.
@@creamwobbly when the caller makes a shit ton of claims one after the one with no evidence or reason why do you want to hear more of them blathering on? Do you care if they are making fallacious claims? Or are you just wanting to hear nonsense?

It's baffling to me how we as skeptics have to have proof, but believers just need feelings
Not surprising that he mentioned Jordan Peterson. He sounds just like him. A bunch of big words that are strung together but mean nothing.
Ah, yes, the "deepities".
If this dude had actually read and respected Kierkegaard, he wouldn't have opened AND closed by trying to slap labels on the hosts.
Jackie is a HS graduate who watched some TH-cam videos on philosophy and now thinks he's a genius.
typical apologist behavior. they have to believe in conspiracies and bat 💩 bananas concepts in order to protect their religious beliefs.
He's not even a HS graduate. He's 16. He calls in all the time and creams his Jockeys over Peterson.
@@kayanneyoung9788 🤣🤣
Seems to me the logical conclusion to "Everything in the universe has a cause" would be "The universe itself does not need a cause" because it isn't 'in the universe".
Jackie avoiding TRUTH says a lot.
...and questioning the underlying reality itself is exponentially more telling about his capacity for logical reasoning, honest discourse and wilful ignorance.

This guy learned a bunch of arguments on reddit but has no idea what any of these ideas mean.
As soon as he brought up kalam I was like "ah shit, of course he'd be a presup" 🙄
Yeah "because I define it to be" pretty much sums it up.
When you have to retreat to hard solipsism to defend your beliefs you have failed utterly and you should know that.
He's kinda like a living oxymoron, right? It baffles my mind how someone can be a solipsist and believe in the Abrahamic god simultaneously, but oh well, lots of things go over my head.
This is what happens to a young mind when they read too much philosophy and start thinking that they are really, really, really smart.
I was about to comment about the same. I came purposely looking for this comment. This is 💯 spot on.
It also happens to people when they learn about a topic in order to support their own previously held beliefs. He's not "reading philosophy". He's taking the cherry picked ideas that he's picked up from apologists and media figures.
I've certainly misunderstood some things for that reason.
nope, this happens to an uneducated mind, that reads about philosophy but only that which the pastor condones and never actually understands it nor cares for why this single author and school of thought did in fact not turned into the basic of every philosophying after them
He hasn't read much philosophy - he's trying to recycle what he's heard from Peterson and his fanboys. The rapid retreat from from Kierkegaard to the Kalam shows he's a poser.
No, this is what happens when an inarticulate dumbass listens to an articulate dumbass who is confident.
As soon as he dropped the word "archetype" in the manner that he did, I knew we were about to hear some Jordan Peterson sycophancy.
If religious people live happy and fulfilling lives, why are so many leaving the church?
And that’s a fact
Religious people living happy and fulfilling lives would'n't feel the need to call in and argue with atheists.
@@rclrd1 👏
Religion is the free interpretation of ones own faith and the Church is the mega corp that makes millions of the suckers who need to show of how much "holier than thou" they are.
Clocks, we have learned, are made by humans.
If you have never learned it, there is no reason to believe that a watch is made.
In addition, if you think everything is manufactured, you cannot distinguish between the natural and the manufactured.
The watchmaker analogy is useless.
Poor Jackie, when backed into a corner he resorts to "Special Pleading", oh my god is eternal. Then, when Jackie gets caught in a trap he resorts to the argument from incredulity/ignorance, what else could it be? Then, what it ultimately comes down to is the root problem of religion. When you subscribe to a certain set of beliefs, those beliefs inform your actions, like flying planes into buildings or limiting the rights of certain individuals because you believe your perfect entity doesn't like certain behavior. That is why it's important to keep doing what you are doing, keep up the good work.
Jackie heard JP talk once and thought, "Yeah, I can do that."
And he did! 😁
Jackie is not nearly the thinker he thinks he is.
You should never take this guys phone call again!!
It may take awhile sometimes, but the bigotry always comes out- usually when they feel their lame af arguments aren't working.
It's the underlying foundation of their conceits.
Asking what you mean by truth and by reality when asked do you care about if something is true is so dishonest and disrespectful and you know you’re about to be backed into a corner and lose the debate
As a Mississippian, I definitely don't claim this one.

@ThorsDecree No. It'd be a formal or familial so not really context appropriate. Don't even need the iru.
But historically we generally didn't do a ton of "insult work". Except right before we merc'ed someone with 2 feet of steel. And at that point people don't remember what you said.
@@TheNihonjin Oh I'm never context appropriate even in English, I'm very informal as a rule. Sometimes I use "de gozaimasu" among friends just to buck conventions lol. Thanks for putting up with my Japanese linguistic incompetence every few weeks whenever we randomly bump into one another!
m(_ _)m
It's such a polite language. People tell me often that I don't have a Southern accent and English but I definitely have a weird hick accent in Japanese. I had gotten conversationally fluent in college but it's definitely been getting rusty since.
As for my statesmen, I do everything in my power with my words to change perceptions and opinions and policies for the better. Mississippi feels in many ways like it's still culturally in the bronze age, but we are making progress. The education system has only been getting worse in the last few decades, though. I don't think pandering to the least, denominator among students has done much to help students in general.
This particular caller kind of reminds me of myself when I was a Christian as a teenager. For me it took attempting to be a religious apologist to change my perspective and realize I didn't actually have good reasons for the conclusions I held. Dropping LSD for the first time when I was 16 or so also changed how I viewed other people and made me much more respectful and general especially towards people I disagreed with.
It's not this kid's fault. He might actually be very intelligent, but the system he grew up in is designed to make him just the way he is on this call. There might be hope for him but there will probably be some element of luck involved. I shudder to think what my life would be like today had a particular set of circumstances not led me out of Christianity. It's terrifying how difficult it is to see the flaws in it from the inside through all the indoctrination.
Everything in the universe was created? Outside of our recent human activity, where is the evidence that anything was 'created?'
This kid needs to clean his room like Jordan Peterson said
Maybe he can find his point if he cleans his room.
I'm no fan of Paterson but he has a point.
I don't know is a valid answer. He just can't admit he doesn't know because his religious indoctrination doesn't allow it.
Reality, Jackie is that thing you ignore to make believe in a god
Reality is also the thing u ignore to pretend "t-women are women". It's only in the mind but not in reality. They definitely exist and definitely deserve to live a happy and healthy life like every other living creature but u have to be religious in thinking to believe the phrase "t-women are women". We never get those points because ppl are silenced before it gets there. It's their show tho so no foul really
And let's be frank here: He's talking about that one popular middle eastern deity.
Not a deistic 'thing', not a collective consciousness notion, not a bloody shinto storm god, but Yeshua the patron saint of lumpy white people.
You are the reason why homeschooling and inbreeding are generally frowned upon in this Country.
My first time seeing OTL.. OMG! I love it! You both were saying things in my head. I applaud your patience. I'm afraid Jackie will always believe he is the smartest one in the room.
Took 23 minutes when you finally got them repeating themselves like a broken record then the caller finally lets it slip and boom there it is. I'm sorry you have to put up with these horrible people that can't just let others be happy.

Needs to have the term true explained to him.
The Kalam. What a horrible argument. It has so many flaws, and it only appeals to those who either 1) just want an excuse to believe and who don't investigate it deeply, or 2) people who don't know a lot of physics, especially quantum physics.
Worse, the argument makes no claims about god. It just clams that universe had a cause. That cause could be literally anything.
@@AngryBoozerThe Kalam doesn’t even properly arrive at a cause, because it’s a circular argument.
First issue, it smuggles in the assumption that there is something outside the universe by treating “universe” as a subset of everything instead of everything. Just substitute _everything_ for _universe_ in the second premise:
“[Everything] began to exist.”
- it’s just an assertion
Moving on… The first premise implies two categories: that which begins to exist, and that which does not begin to exist.
What falls in the _does not begin to exist_ category?
If the only exception to _everything_ is the “uncaused cause” - the very thing you’re trying to prove - then you have a circular argument.
@@AngryBoozerI see so many videos where too much time is wasted wrapped around the Kalam. It should be explained and dismissed within two minutes as a circular argument… followed by The End.
@@derinderruheliegt Yeah, it makes less and less sense the more you think about it. You could spend all day poking holes in it. I don’t understand why apologists cling to it so much

"everything in the universe has a cause therefore the universe must have a cause"
Therefore the cause of the universe must have a cause.
Yeah. That's the conclusion of that argument.
That the universe had a cause. Okay. Cool. So..the universe had a cause.
Where's the god? How did anyone rule out a natural cause?
Magic man is more probable than any other possible explanation. This guy's brain has been turned to mush by listening to Jordan Peterson.

Quite fun to hear someone going with the Kalam calling other stuff falacious.. 🤣🤣🤣
Speak for yourself. Rational people can comprehend our existence beyond earth.
