TH-cam comments are at present disabled in our channel, to the displeasure of some. However, each video has a prominent link to the associated open thread that appears on our blog. In the past we've tried opening up the channel to comments, but we found that a very high number of episodes wound up being flooded with a combination of spam, long winded apologists, and various obscene or misogynistic comments directed at various hosts by people with an axe to grind. This seems to be the nature of TH-cam comment sections, in our experience.
We do moderate the blog, the same way that we moderate chat during the show, as well as comments on our Facebook group. For comment sections that are "officially" associated with our show (and, to a much lesser extent, channels that may give the unintended appearance of being official), we prefer not to play host to straight up ad hominem attacks and bigotry. As a general policy we do not block commenters simply on the basis of disagreement with our point of view. However, we do prefer discussion environments that don't actively chase off more reasonable contributors.

WHAT IS THE ATHEIST EXPERIENCE?
The Atheist Experience is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared at a non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.
We define atheism as the lack of belief in gods. This definition also encompasses what most people call agnosticism.

I love these callers. They have their script and leading questions yet fail every time.
Yes. I learnt "No plan survives contact with the enemy". This is the same. As long as they are talking to their religious pals all is well. When they encounter someone who disagrees they are lost.
Caller thinks he has some "gotcha" questions and fails horribly.
He kept trying so hard to sneak in design and without demonstrating it first, even though Matt was one step ahead at every turn, he just blurted out design being the conclusion even though the steps to get there were shut down.
They always do ..........
Yes he tries to set a trap and Matt sees it coming a mile away
@@georgecrompton8663 in fact, he pulled a counter trap, where a lot of the explanations and definitions, which the caller agreed were reasonable, messed up his whole argument before "go".
Classic Dunning-Kruger effect... the caller seemed to be oblivious to the fact that he was far from being the smartest person on the call... he was exactlty the 3rd smartest person on the call. Conversely, he was the most arrogant.
Damned entertaining caller! This guy can break dance, moonwalk, back flip, and theist two step while avoiding any question.
😂😂😂😂
Best comment XD
Don is one of my favorite co-hosts. He has an easy confidence and relaxed manner, and when he says something, it's either smart or funny, or both.
For a god that can create the universe, It's funny how he needs these people with their word acrobatics to prove his existence. Smh.
The point is that we don't know. And claiming anything else as being the truth is nothing more than a lie. Believing such a lie is simply delusional.
Take aliens for instance I think it's highly likely that they exist and even have visited earth probably even have been misidentified as deities in the past but I can't proof it to be so and I'm not going to claim that it is so just because it seems likely.
@@endemion06463 I'm not trying to play word games here, but define "alien." Do one-celled organisms count? If so, aliens exist confirmed because meteors have landed on earth with "alien" bacteria on them. Intelligent alien life however, has not been demonstrated at this point.
I do agree with you, though. I'm pretty sure the Greek gods were alien adolescents who came here to mess with the heads of a primitive species because they were bored.
ResidentMilf, not sure if you're actually looking for a response. But yes of course when I say aliens I mean intelligent lifeforms not from this planet. Not to play word games ;) but define "demonstrated". Also I'm not so sure about the adolescent part when it comes to the notion of aliens having set themselves up (intentionally or not) to be seen as (Greek) gods back in the day. What exactly would you consider adolescent behavior anyway? Seems rather subjective what construes as adolescent behavior.
@@endemion06463 But we still don't have evidence for that hypothesis that it was aleins. Could've been magical unicorns from neptune. The evidence points to ancient societies that used the idea of a god or gods to explain the natural world around them because they had no freaking clue how it worked and what was the cause of say for example thunder, or earthquakes.
Dave, what's your point? I was making the point if you don't know don't say that you do. As for ResidentMilf's notion about Greek gods I don't know it's likelihood nor do I very much care. And whether the belief system back then was based on trying to explain the natural world with gods doesn't really matter. It doesn't exclude some alien(s) coming down to earth and being misidentified as a deity (/ as deities).
Michael, the caller, is so sarcastic... And it happens when he's wrong.
One thing that's always common with these people is that they cant answer questions directly. They always dance.
It’s infuriating when they just dance or when they just ignore the question. This guys a ultra d bag
Embear Saint Vitus should be the Patron Saint of apologists.
Hmm, disagree, there are good reasons sometimes ignoring Matt's questions. The fact, that he is attempting to put words into your mouth, thereby strawmaning you? Mostly, he is right, but that doesn't mean he is ALWAYS right. And by this, he fails to see the callers point, and arguing against it in good faith. Then he proceeds to hang up?! Where's the humility?
lol... the fanciest turd u got
bluewolfey
Is that you Michael?
“ You got a lot of shit in your bucket. Give us the fanciest turd you got.” Don’s best line ever.
….and the caller had nothing solid😂

Amazing 😂
God is the hide and seek champion of the cosmos.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
yes and no.

I bet he’s DYING for a piss...remember playing hide and seek you’d always need a piss ha ha
Maybe you are the one hiding. god is one step inward in our consciousness.

Gotta love christians calling in with "gotcha" semantic games
It's tedious. Especially when they're really just recycling old arguments.
Yep, they come in so confident, and then...faceplant.
Theists come woth their "gotcha" questions and perceive every follow up questions as a "gotcha" question. It's like we're in the WWE and not having a natural dialogue
It's so cute when callers think they are thinking.
When people say "I see" as many times as this caller.....they infact DO NOT see. 🙄
When they say I see they actually mean that their attempt to fool Matt has been stymied
it was actually interesting to witness this man try and build his obvious point up in a way that he thought was going to blow their minds
It's because it's the same lame argument that his friends are impressed by when they are stoned.
That's the thing with intelligence, you can't see higher than one's own, as demonstrated by this chump.
@@nosuchthing8Lol I'm pretty sure that's atheistic approach.
"Religion is just, like, used to control us, man."
I would design humans to be immortal like a Turritopsis nutricula, with wings to fly like an eagle and who breathe underwater.
There you go, I'm a much better god.
Are you a fool?
@@Sugarshane88
No, I am better than god.
@@Sugarshane88 based on that, i think you are a fool.
Don't forget we need the sea star's ability to grow back limbs, and the elephants ability to not develop cancer. Then you would be an even better god.
Please do not make me immortal...
what most christians dont understand is 90% of everything that has ever lived on the earth is now extinct. if god was such a great designer then why has all these things died out?
Because jeebus
Because "God" wanted a relationship with us humans. and didn't care about other life forms.
Didn't he say in his book that we have dominion over earth and can use other animals who live on it for our benefit ?
@Andrew Fairfax If you have an example of a living thing that doesn't rely on either plants or animals or both for survival, that'd be great.
Of course, "God" could have created us different from any other life form on the planet, but apparently chose not to.
BTW, that was sarcasm, so of course it doesn't stand up to scrutiny, it was never supposed to.
@Andrew Fairfax And you just demonstrated that not all scientists are intelligent.
I am and always have been an atheist, so of course I don't believe that "God" created us.
@Andrew Fairfax Have you actually looked at the data for climate change? I haven't. I believe the claim...but I have to admit I BELIEVE it, because I honestly haven't done the research.
Let's pray that there's intelligent life up in space because there's bugger all down here on earth.
Monty Python!!!!
now thats funny
I love that the entire song is a set up to a joke!
the two most common elements in the universe: hydrogen and human stupidity!
Great!
There was a whole lot of "Here's the thing" in that conversation, and yet the "thing" never once actually ended up being a thing!! 😂😂
They are always so excited to bring the Watchmaker argument
I can tie my shoes therefore I am intelligent. The caller is barefoot.
@Vladimir_Bone Spur_tRump Hope he is not pregnant..... That would mean there is a chance of more mentally deficient humanoids. Yikes, scary thought.
How can a human be this dumb.
you are so right : )
@@Lyricistnz this is what christianity has abetted over the ages, - it has robbed folks of their ability to process logic and reason backed by evidence to produce truth. And imagine, these here callers are people in a so-called developed country, where education is more readily accessible -as opposed to people in so called developing nations, where these religions wreaked havoc in the absence of readily available education against it as it was beat into folks.
@@ferlandpetrus2157 Indeed a sad indictment or the abandoning of logic and reasoning for fallacy, stupidity and inanity.
"You've got lots of shit in your bucket, so give us the fanciest turd you've got" -Don Baker at 8:52 in response to the caller's 'innumerable list'. What a great comment hahaha
Michael says "i see" over & over again, yet I doubt he does "see" at all.
Well here’s the thing...
I love how his "preliminary" stuff was specifically to probe you for things he could attack you over. It's painfully obvious how he wasn't asking you questions because he wanted to know anything but because he thought he could butcher your words with shoddy paraphrase and try to butcher them. I'm pleased with you for your on the spot attempt to explain what intelligence is, though! The ability to not just generate abstractions from our experiences, but to generate abstractions _on those abstractions_ - to think about our thoughts, to translate, transform, and manipulate concepts in a rich, multi contextual way, was indeed an excellent angle to take! And in that form... Computers aren't yet intelligent, but elephants, certain cephalopods, some cetaceans, and several species of bird may very well be.
And none of them were """"created"""" XD
Spoken like a truly intelligently designed human.
He thought he was sneaky.
@@guyparris4871 And you spoke like a true darwinian award winner.
Thank you!@@ultimategamer2669

Ingrown toenails and cellulite too. 😂

@@LukeVilent it's usually caused by not eliminating the bowels fully. The squatting position pushes it out where the appendix is. That's a lot of the world goes. Conventional American toilets cause problems.

Nice one!
"I will try to make it quick, I know other callers didn't."
*looks at video duration*
Hmm
Exactly lolol
We consider a house evidence of a designer because we can demonstrate that humans design and produce houses. To argue that the universe is designed requires demonstrating that deities exist and that they design and produce universes.
bonchbonch Ahh excuse me sir, I meet Gods all the time that make universes. Thor made one last week. It was a nice pink universe with flying ponies and shit. Or was that me on an acid trip? Mmmm?
Who designed and produced all of humanity's gods?
There are no other gods.There is only one god. A Hebrew god named Yahweh.
Who created Yahweh?
No one created Yahweh. He always was and always will be and always remains the same.
How do you know this?
A Hebrew wrote it down on an animal skin thousands of years ago.
well you know humans couldn't design the universe
14:07 "Did you really miss the point that I was talking about genitals..."
lmao, best line I've heard on AXP
If God is a designer then I give him an F on the construction of the human knee.
Not to mention the human backbone and sinuses.
The hip joint could have been a tad better as well.
Let's not forget the appendix. Literally so named because we couldn't find a use for it.
And the eye
Thats goddamn right
I love Don Baker! Watching his face when these people talk insane, priceless.
Love when you shoot down a theists argument and they then proceed to "give examples"
Drinking game: shot every time he says "see"
No. I choose life.
Soon, you won't be able to see.
I see, I see, I see, I see, I see, I see, I see, I see,.
I seeeeeeee
Icy.
I sí.
Eye Sea!!!!!!!
@Lu G. shit, I was taking shots.
I love how you can hear the frustration in Matt's "goddamn" at 16:32. This guy just won't answer any question, everything relevant he said could have been fitted in a single sentence... so frustrating.
@@forgednotcast612 It's amazing to me how you can be both so naive and so arrogant at the same time. A stunning living example of the Dunning-Kruger effect. All you'd have to do to seem like a smarter person is to simply shut your mouth. But please, I implore you, keep talking; it's hilarious.
I could metaphorically smell the stench of the caller's insincerity and bad faith the first time he said "I see". It was transparent how he wasn't actually attempting to listen or understand anything, but rather invested himself solely into trying to deliberately misinterpret everything to feed his pet narrative from the start. /)
+Edward Overkleeft
What has to do evolution with astrophysics? You are one of the most "stupidest" people i have ever met.

@@forgednotcast612 Dumbest person on the internet - well done.
Matt: I am intelligent because I can tie my shoes
Michael: I see🤔, expect I am not wearing shoes
Matt: That doesn’t matter
Michael: Of course it does
The argument from incredulity amazes me. "I can't figure it out, so no one else can figure it out, and no one will ever figure it out, so it must be god." Such intellectual laziness and intellectual cowardice is astonishing.
Intellectual arrogance as well. "If I can't understand it then it's not possible to understand it and nobody else can or will ever be able to, cus nobody could possibly understand more than me" is what they're saying when they say "I can't explain it, therefore it can't be explained."
Matt is the GOAT
OMG Brian Tyler ! Big fan here ! SO happy to see a fan of AXP
Facts! He is indeed the goat!
NOT!!
No way dude. I doubt Hitchens will ever have anyone come close. I mean, Matt’s fine and all but goat my ass
why does the noob on the phone keep laughing like all his points are being proved
He propably thinks they are.
Because he's an arrogant idiot .
Too stupid to know he is stupid .....................
This caller is the product of arrogance and stupidity having a baby.
Some people laugh as a defence mechanism, some laugh as a delay mechanism. Some because they are arrogant. The caller is....................
As a designer of buildings myself, I don't recall ever just speaking a house into existence. I'm a part of the universe, rearranging other parts of the universe, into different forms. You and I and the trees and fermions and protozoans and pulsars do this all the time.
"I wanna make this really quick"
>Video is over 20 minutes
>Show is 60-90 minutes long total
Its funny how this guy tries to sound intelligent "I see"
Gosh, Michael, they could see you coming & where you were going from the bottom of the Marianas Trench.
"Do you think there's a heaven?" ___________________ "That's a whole other conversation."
The tap dance continues ....
A number of factors deconverted me from my Catholicism: this show, debating atheists in the comments section 12 years ago, my inherent doubts about my own religion, and my love for math/science. There was always something nagging at me about my own beliefs when I used to be religious. And that something pretty much was the logical part of my brain that told me some of the things I was taught didn't make any sense. It wasn't until 12 years ago, that I started debating atheists in the comments section as I previously mentioned, and I found that my arguments were being completely dismantled. The atheist position was much more cogent, cohesive and logical.
We all appreciate Intelligent Design, especially if it is concealed.
I can't help noticing that most religious buildings are fitted with lightning conductors.
Often, the lightning conductor is hidden behind a drain pipe, where the LORD can't see it.
If he could see it, he might suspect that the religious leaders have little faith.
These callers are always the same. They think they have something clever and act snarky but Matt only proceeds to obliterate them.
15:55 - 16:03 "I don't have patience in infinity"
OMFGROTFLMAO
Every time the guy said "I see" you just knew he did not understand.
I see. 🤪
Yeah if I was the host I would have called him out on that. I understand giving callers the benefit of the doubt but when its obvious they aren't listening they should he called out.
It’s so interesting to me that Matt has this reputation for being impatient. He’s a lot more patient than I would be waiting for these people to stammer out their poorly constructed “gotcha” questions.
Same. A polite f off would be straight out of my mouth. Time wasters.
Matt saw his argument and defeated it before he even made a chance to state his argument lol
Masterclass of bullshit detection 😂
I feel like most people would've seen this comming from a mile away xD the design argument is pretty commen
Let me play word games with Matt, what could possibly go wrong. 🤔
Right on. That could be the name of the show.
cosmai23 “Word Games With Matt”
What I think makes us intelligent is the ability to think about what intelligence is.
Michael: "My knowledge of the universe is so limited." Case closed!
Look at my eyes. Aren't they wonderful ? Every part working perfectly ! Obviously designed !
I can see why some people think like that,
but only when I am wearing my glasses.
A million years ago there were two 'brother' trees. The first tree's fruit was bitter, as were all the trees of it's type. However, it's 'brother' tree had a defect, this defect caused it's fruit to be sweet. Once the local animals, by chance, ate the 'new' fruit - they preferred it. Now you have more and more animals eating the sweet fruit, and pooping the sweet fruits seeds, compared to the old bitter fruit, which now the animals actively avoid. How long until the 'old' tree vanishes, replaced by the 'new' tree?
It depends on the mutation rate of the tree species. However at the same time that bitter tree could taste good to a particular species of animal and continue to thrive using that animal. Things can go a multitude of ways as long as they have a bias towards continuation of genes.
6000 years, according to creationists.
The bitter tree's fruit would just rot on the ground, assuming no animal would want to eat it, and the fruit itself would fertilize the ground the seed would grow in. So yes, it could continue to reproduce but wouldn't be scattered far and wide like the sweet fruit tree's seeds.
First of all, every specimen in the entire generation of the brother trees did vanish. They died. Things tend to die when they get old. The next generation, the sweet fruit tree's offspring have, according to your premise, have an advantage... Not only are the seeds in its fruit deposited with a fresh and abundant supply of fertilizer now, but those seeds are also carried further away, into new environments, much further than the bitter fruits would've fallen on their own. So there may be no reason for the bitter fruit population to die; the sweet fruit population could now take advantage of different environmental niches. The bitter fruit variant may be able to risk investing more nutrition into its fruits now that the sweet trees are attracting the attention of animals away, and could therefore leverage a different strategy for surviving in the same area. One way or another, a species that isn't viable will simply fail to reproduce. It takes multiple generations failing to reproduce before a population is truly extinct.
This is an abstract example, demonstrating a very simplified version of a very complex natural process. Let's not get overly pedantic.
He really agreed and realized his mistake too late and tried to dodge Matt’s questions to point it out 😂
“It must be Jesus!” Don Baker 😂😂😂
Logical argument is great and all but the best part of this show is Don's chuckle.
"Hundreds of thousands of RPMs"
So in order to create a tree, an intelligent designer creates a Rube Goldberg instead of just creating a tree.
He thought he came in swinging and blasting but he came in stumbling and fumbling
What they said at the end: if everyone became an atheist, there would be no need for the show. That is quite a contrast to what churches do. They are in perpetual survival mode. Always trying to bring new people in and keep the ones that already come.
I see.
I see.
I see.
In college currently, and it is explained how the apple trees evolved using animals, the evidence was that plants which started in the ocean, could use the current to disperse seeds, but we do not have current like that on land. Which led to the evolution of that plant developing advantages to survival and reproduction
"I see," said the blind faith man.
My spectacles were intelligently designed, so that I can read the subtitles on the TV sermons.
I have another pair that were intelligently designed so I can see the hymn numbers in Church.
And yet another, in my bedroom, intelligently designed so I can read the Bible in bed.
If my eyes had been intelligently designed, I wouldn't need the spectacles.
Well that's certainly one way of looking at it.

It is funny that their examples of intelligent design do not include things like cancer or the herpes virus.
Man, I love Don's laugh so much xD xD
The fact that the caller can ask a question and inquire the answer, makes him an intelligent agent. Well, intelligent in the sense of processing basic information.
"I see" is code for "I'm just going to move onto the next point on my script, and what you said doesn't matter. Because I wasn't listening. I was just waiting for my turn to talk."
Omg this was great! You guys rock and I love listening to you !
"I could make it so that the fun factory and the waste disposal are not the same thing" LOL I love this so much!
Yep. And I doubly loved that it went right over the caller's head.
Whenever someone says that God communicates through words or any other method, I always ask: what's to separate the voice you hear in your head from insanity?
And how can I tell the difference?
Oh it's different because it's god or I know for sure or whatever bs excuse.
That's what gets me, the whole god spoke the universe into existence is ludicrous in face of how crude and inaccurate spoken language is at transferring data. There are reasons why voice recognition was so difficult to achieve.
Thank you "The Atheist Experience"
Love you a lot (from Lisbon Portugal)

Meu nome é Emanuel e vivo em Sintra
es memo ateu ou só um curioso?
Playzada Eman nice. Sou o Hugo, e moro ao pé do estádio do sporting, mas sou benfiquista.
Sou mais agnóstico que ateu, acho. Porque penso que não se consegue provar que deus não existe, tal e qual como também não se consegue provar que não existem unicórnios e fadas.
E tu?
surviverfromLOGIN espero que a tua casa seja top, porque a vista não deve ser muito agradavel =)) Também sou Benfica
Numa coisa tens razão, é impossivel provar que deus não existe, porque não dá para provar o enexistente,
mas provar o que existe é mais que possivel só não é provada a existencia de deus porque ele não deve existir mesmo. Ser agnostico é uma boa posição na vida.
Eu considero-me ateu, mas todo o ateu também tem um pouco de agnóstico, porque ninguém pode ter a certeza absoluta de nada. Minha familia toda é catolica eu deixei de ser há uns anos pasei a ser a ovelha negra da familia ehehehehehehe...
Abraço
Definitely! I love *actually* being able to have relevant discussions with others _on_ the original platform for once! Turning off comments is so often a tactic of the cowardly that it's nigh impossible for me to see it as anything but.
Wanna talk about flawed design? We all have a ticking time bomb inside of us (appendix)...
"Or you live twice as long?" Pfft. That's similar to Woody Allen's joke at the beginning of _Annie Hall_ Punch line -- Life is full of gloom and suffering, and it's all over much too quickly.
Thanks never saw your comment till just now but I said the same thing thanks
woah woah woah... hundreds of thousands of RPM? Excuse me genius, I don't know of an automobile that goes over 9 thousand RPM... Hell, jet engines don't even go over 80 thousand. This guy is grade A.
@Random dude That was actually random, dude. Question for you: Is 20,000 rpm hundreds of thousands?
He was referring to the bacteria flagellum, which is the "motor" of the bacteria cell, it's RPM is over 100,000. The caller was saying he didn't know of a human invention that could spin at 100,000 rpm therefore god did it.
@Random dude "Flagella (singular: flagellum) are long, thin, whip-like appendages attached to a bacterial cell that allow for bacterial movement.The bacterial flagellum is driven by a rotary engine made up of protein, located at the flagellum's anchor point on the inner cell membrane."
Most don't reach 100,000 rpm but there are like 2-3 species of bacteria that do get up that high.
@Random dude Agreed, it's an odd conclusion to draw. It's like saying the sun is hot, therefore god.
Not quite right, as mentioned they do go above 10k RPM. But I see your point, there are no engines going "hundreds of thousands of rpms". This jackass is typically confident but severely lacking in factual information.
Listening to these callers is a real sobering experience.
If you ever doubt yourself don't forget you're not a creationist.
Don's laugh is so wonderful and comes in at the best times.
"I totally missed that" LMFAO
That was the most obvious thing in the world
" I see" the caller loves post-hoc rationalizations and arguing from ignorance.
"Look at the trees..." I swear everytime someone says complexity, they're inserting Incoherent Design and the Watchmaker argument.
The Miller-Urey experiment from the 50s shows how an organic primordial soup of amino acids can emerge out of inorganic chemistry via electrochemical processes either by lightning or volcanic vents at the bottom of the ocean breaking down inorganic bonds to form organic bonds.
In addition to it:
1) glycine amino acid has been found trough spectroscopy in the atmosphere of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
2) various organic complex molecules were discovered trough spectroscopy in many nebulae in Milkyway galaxy
3) all five nucleobases that make up DNA and RNA were discovered in meteorite samples
4) many complex molecules and amino acids were detected in Martian meteorite Nakhla: glutamic acid and glycine, aspartic acid, serine, alanine, β-alanine, and γ-amino-n-butyric acid (γ-ABA)
5) organic chemistry and life seems to be far more efficient in dissipating energy than non-organic chemistry, thus might be preferred by entropy
6) more to come... ;)
When someone walks up and praises a stranger, hang onto your wallet. And your brain. Every sleazy con-man starts their con game with a huge complement.
Ricky Gervais said if you burned all the science books, in 100 years, all the science books would be back, because science is reproducible whereas religion is not. If you burned all the holy books, the holy books would not be the same. You'd have some weird, convoluted set of books that might have some passages that are the same but for the most part, it would be drastically different than the religious books we have now.
Not the koran tho... People need to memorise the whole thing 🤷🏽♂
@@tarbooshrecords8530 memorization has nothing to do with what I said. People can try to memorize the Bible but it wouldn't be the same exact book in 100 years. Brains are faulty which is why we experience optical illusions and hear distorted rumors/gossip that are way different from the original.

Shark's teeth, however, do grow back. If we are more important to the "designer" than a bunch of lousy killer fish, how come they can regrow teeth while we get stuck with the options of gumming our food, implants, or dentures (the latter two options being quite expensive)? Damnit!?
Lousy killer fish is the most amazing three words I’ve read all day lol kudos!!!
Devout Catholic Henri de Broglie earned the Nobel Prize for his landmark achievement in the realm of quantum mechanics with the wave-particle equation that bears his name.
Fr. Georges Lemaître, a Roman Catholic priest and professor of physics at Leuven, generated what has come to be called the Big Bang Theory.
My nose was designed to stop my glasses falling off.
If my eyes had been designed a little better, I wouldn't need the glasses.
Sadly, the designer has been neglecting his duties.
Many people are totally blind from birth.
Pooping out seeds proves a god.That has to be the best argument I have ever heard.
If you think that “God” is the only possible explanation for something, it just means that you haven’t explored all of the possibilities.
“I can’t imagine a world without God.” That’s not proof of God, that’s proof of your lack of imagination.
If suddenly proof of God was discovered, with irrefutable evidence, all Atheists would believe in it, but all Religious people would not believe in it because it’s the wrong god.
This caller is such a turd.
Michael from San An - proving every day that there is unintelligent life on Earth too.
The laws of the universe could hypothetically have been such that houses are naturally occurring. In this case, you would be wrong asserting that they designed, regardless of complexity or chance. However, all the evidence we have in our universe points to buildings being made by people.
Likewise, asserting that anything is designed in without evidence is baseless and needs to be demonstrated.
Good god Christ almighty..."the fun factory and waste disposal" went over Michael's head...
how careful matt has to be to not fall in these definition traps. kudos man.
This is child's play for Matt. He knew where this guy was heading before he knew himself.
The caller asking for a definition of intelligence is actually a very good question. I had to pause the video and spend some time thinking about that myself.
I like the last few minutes of the show, where Matt talks about god revealing himself to Matt. If there were a god and it revealed itself to me alone, I would be inclined to assume I was having some kind of mental breakdown.
Don's laughter has comedic value. I've noticed that in many videos. Please laugh more, it's contagious.
