"Atheists can't answer these questions" ...or Can We?

- Islamic apologetics channel Towards Eternity has a challenge for atheists. I respond.
Towards Eternity posted a video titled “Atheists Can’t Answer These Questions” where they asked 3 questions which they say not only undermine atheism, but also point to the existence of god. I give my answers to these questions and discuss the logical fallacies present. In my opinion, the god of the gaps reasoning here is the biggest issue, but the fallacy of composition and some scientific illiteracy make appearances too. In this atheist / Muslim debate, sometimes we have to humble ourselves, admit ignorance, and work to find answers from there. Let’s try to assume less and use scientific skepticism more.

Ohhh I think Viced Rhino answered these questions. He has a really cool answer for the black pencil part.
Civility is how we will progress as a society
@@lekiscool yup, was a very cool video.
9 hours ago?
I think his answer to the second one was “pick an analogy.” XD
"You cannot give a feature you don't have, to someone else."
God is evil, gotcha.
damn gottem. didn't even think of this lol
Damn, You're right lol. I always forget how in all of their arguments God is always the exception to all the rules they create to explain things.
I think he would respond something like,
"Blah blah special pleading, god can do anything, blah blah"
God is also mortal, cus he gives the characteristic of mortality. He is also immortal and the same time, making him illogical. But he is also the source of all logic and therefore perfectly logical.
Checks out to me.
That's why the monotheist had to invent a devil at some point.
"Atoms don't have wheels, so cars are proof of god's existence."
And something that doesn't have a property cannot give that property to something else. Therefore god has wheels.

"I am ignorant, therefore god."
...said every superstitious mental-midget EVER!!!
"I would prove God's existence even if it means I will not understand the deeper meaning of the universe because, the only valid answer is God." There are people who are religious, but know a lot, but ultimately never question God's existence, because they never had the reason to do so or because there was no need to do so. Only the ones who suffer will know the pain and just like that only the ones who need God will try to do so. Many people who believe in God are those who never had the reason to question his existence or actually benefit from believing it, or are forced to do so. There is no in between.
@@squeaky_balloon What does the word god mean to you? If there are 8 billion humans and 3 billion of them are atheists, there are about 5 billion different definitions of that word. Of the 3,000 or so gods that have been created by humans, to which do you refer?
@@squeaky_balloon Only one question : Even if he exists, does he care?
If a creature with human like morals of compassion, hate, love etc. exists (God/Allah), who has unsurmountable knowledge and is supposedly the best guide and ruler, the most loving, etc., who knows about things from tiny events on the scale of atoms to large world ending scenarios and cares for his creations through all of them, why does he ignore the more than a billion starving human beings within which most of them die a painful death through hunger?
Or why does he allow diseases like Bone Cancer, various cell diseases, deformities, and millions of other different misfortunes to affect innocent babies? Leave a sinful grown adult alone who deserves gods punishment according to the Bible and Quran.
If God exists, why is he involved in Human affairs so much trying to guide others into following a rule of law and everything but at the same time, doesn't seem to care much about major catastrophes? Tsunamis, Floods, Volcanic Eruption, Heat Waves, Droughts etc have killed billions of Humans in all of history(most of them being innocent and most of them being very religious and even good people)?
@@jonahjerryson4913yea because you were born into a religious family… if youre a real chryou would believe in god making the world, humans coming from dirt, women coming from men’s ribcage, dinosaurs not being real and more, it doesnt make sense to believe part of christianity and not all of it… and humans arnt special… we are the most intelligent species but thinking we’re special compared to other animals and god looks like us is just a unthought narcissistic idea
I have three questions no atheist can answer
1) what is the last digit of pi
2) how many digits are in pi if you remove every other digit
3) if a tree falls in a forest and none is around, what's the second to last digit of pi.
You are technically right ✅️
I can actually answer number 2, pi has an infinite number of digits, meaning 1 and 3 are impossible to answer, but 2 is possible to answer because infinity / 2 = Infinity. So the number of digits in pi if you remove every other is infinity
its 4, 0 and 7
@@AnnoyedSonic sure thats an answer, unfortunately infinity is not a quantity, as requested in the "how many" part of the question. by definition the word infinite just means impossible to quantify. So the answer you gave to "how many digits are in pi if you remove every other digit" is basically saying you don't have an answer.
also the point of this post is a meme. r/woosh
At least 1 in all the questions, take that

Hello there!
Edit: *I have written many comments, if you want to reply then fully understand my comments all to way to the final one then reply with consideration of the latest comments; thank you!*
I’m just a curious, incredibly friendly, and highly rational free-thinker. Nevertheless, the creator of the car & wheel is crucial for the creation of it, that’s the whole point of the argument, you can’t expect metal components given enough time and energy to naturally form themselves into engines and leather seats, and then finely tune itself to give AC and a speedometer, etc. You *require* a creator, which in this case is a human. The universe is vastly superior, much more complex and unfathomably vast, and I fully understand the universe is different, but actually, the same reasoning can be applied - if not even better applied. Nature’s natural and universal laws have seemingly eternally existed, but that’s exactly where God makes sense: living things don’t come from non-living things naturally, the very essence of life and consciousness is a greatly profound question. Not to mention, the prophets were extremely truthful people, and truthful eyewitness accounts of miracles exist. If God’s existence is unprovable, undoubtedly our very best bet is to be, at the least, an Agnostic Theist. The Agnostic meaning = doesn’t know if God exists, and the Theist meaning = believes in God anyway. My goal is not to prove my argumentation is irrefutable, my goal is to aid rational choices and free thinking. Thank you. 🙂❤️
All these “cannot answer” videos have one ultimate fallacy: even if I cannot provide a right answer, it does not make their false answer right by default.
Great observation.
i know right? when they say i need to prove that god doesn't exist, and ask me to explain myself, i say why on earth should i have to answer to someone who worships a baby killing, torturing, vain and jealous psychopath without reservation or question? how can you justify killing all the first born of Egypt? how can you justify solomon ordering the dashing of the babies against the rocks the slaughter of their me and the taking of there women? that it wasn't slavery their god doesn't like, just not his people, that in the flood they gloss over all the pregnant woman and children left to drown, i could go on but i wont. don't give me but the new testament waah. if Hitler said look boys i've changed id still say no. besides. they did not change. the entire history of religion is one of misery and horror. i think treating the religious with anything other than contempt is no different than being an apologist for the behavior of the Nazis. there is no excuse, and their history and continued behavior bear out my contempt.
Great vegetables.
If your worldview cannot provide the right answer (i.e., the truth), then you should find another worldview.
@@user-fh5nu4jg9l
Statistics would confirm that to be science as well. If something cannot be proven, it "rejects said hypothesis to be true", it doesn't say it is "therefore false". Both faith and the scientific method only approach truth, but if it doesn't find it, then it simply is that; no answer. ACTUALLY, I would even say that any faith that keeps pushing anything and everything not proven to be "definitely a divine force" is shooting itself on the foot; faith and spiritualism cannot be explained so pushing anything as true or false does not help a religion, as it would also break the scientific method (mind you, I am agnostic, so none of this matters anyway).
2:00 sir, you can draw a rainbow with a black pencil. you just can’t colour it in.
This guy don't know color blind so he can't think like one. Keep focus boy !
The harder you press the pencil the darker the color so you could make a rainbow with different shades of gray.
u can use shading
A colorblind guy once mailed to Bob Ross that he can't paint himself due to his condition and Ross as the boss he was showed him the beauty he could create just with black, white and gray.
Luigi, don't be a dinophobe, it takes all colors to make a rainbow. Except black, there's no black in a rainbow.
When I was in my college years, I'd allow my religious friends to try to make logical arguments against me as an atheist. It was exhausting though, because they always used fallacious logic. And when my friend said he wouldn't read Stephen Hawking's works because the scientist was against God's teachings or whatever, I gave up on trying to have arguments with religious people. Until that point, I thought my religious friends could appreciate Stephen Hawking despite their religion.

You ever heard of the backfire effect? Basically, everyone will believe what they want to believe even if there's scientific proof otherwise, they will simply strength from their own belief, because you trying to prove that they're wrong will simply make them think that they must be right if someone is putting in the effort to make them believe otherwise.

A fun thing is always: There are things that just are. Laws of physics, gravity etc.
They want to argue "But where did they come from? Clearly a god must have created these laws!"
And upon the question "where did god come from" they answer "they just are"...
So their answer in their mind is sound, but the same answer without the god is not.
im not an atheist and the "where the God come from" question is actually can be answered in my belief. The God is a supernatural being and that is out of our mind we can't think about the existence of God because it's to complex for the human mind and there for we need a word a fact that we can trust on and belief.
Exactly this 👆
As a muslim, we believe our minds are very limited. Whenever people ask this question, my answer is "he has been here forever". It might seem impossible for something to be here forever when, technically existence never had a start. But, god is the one who created the concept of time, the concept of a start and end.
So while yes, the question of "how things were before time" might seem impossible, we are but very limited in our knowledge
We have the same beliefs then
A christian friend of mine once said "Idk, maybe he's like Stan lee and we are the comic characters". That was the chillest answer I got and I honestly love it.
"You cannot give a feature you dont have to someone else" this statement attempts to redefine biology and in turn completely erased the ideas of genetic mutation and recessive traits.
and also particle physics. None of the processes would occur if this "principle" was true
You couldn’t make anything from anything else if this were true. Well done, he proved cooking doesn’t exist.

@Khush Bakht Khan Thanks, I am convinced.
@Khush Bakht Khan Wait, so if there had to be a creator to create the universe because nothing can come from nothing, who created the creator? Was it a giant turtle? Because I read somewhere it was a giant turtle, and that book was pretty awesome too, probably nearly as unique a fusion of prose and poetry as the Quran. Is it turtles all the way down...? 🤔
Thank you for your work and for your patience. Born and raised as a roman catholic in Germany I started to doubt some stuff during adolescence. There were no answers, no empathy just commandments like “believe and act as you’re told or you’ll end in eternal flames”. Being indoctrinated for a long time I called myself an agnostic and resigned the Catholic Church at the age of 20. It took me another 30 years to accept myself as an atheist. I sometimes envy religious people for their confidence and the comfort of their churches and believes. Being 62 the end of my live comes in sight. But still I’d rather go to hell than claiming to have found the black cat in a dark room. And even if there are gods (nobody can falsify this idea) I prefer to go back to carbon cycle rather than sitting in Valhalla and drinking mead or playing the Lyra the whole day long or having fun with virgins or whatever you’re promised if you just believe in the unprovable concept of a creator.
Your story is important. I’m an atheist and there seem to be fewer atheists in the Netherlands, where I was born and raised, than what the numbers may suggest. I ‘say’ this because I talk to lots of people as part of my line of work and more often than not when I speak with someone who claims to be an atheist, I either sense a bit of doubt when it comes to superstition, or they say things like “I don’t believe in a god, but I think there’s “more between heaven and earth than we know”.
Sometimes I feel that a lot of atheists don’t understand how hard it really is to be brought up in a religious environment and to break out of it.
I was raised a catholic. My parents were catholic, I went to a catholic school, played football for a catholic football club, I had to go to church, they wanted me to join the choir (which I did), my father was a professional musician and he played the organ in that church, later he was the conductor of the choir, my mother would tell biblical stories, we watched programs for kids on an evangelical television broadcasting company, we had memberships for all sorts of catholic institutions and so forth. And my parents didn’t even saw themselves as highly religious people!
Pillarization or ‘pillarisation’ (the vertical separation of citizens into groups by religion and associated political beliefs) was still very present in our society in the 1970s (I’m 56 years old). This meant that I and many kids from my generation and older, were surrounded by people who believed in the Christian god. And when you grow up in an environment where literally all people, important people, people you love, relatives, friends, but also teachers, grownups, adults, people with important jobs, EVERYBODY you grew up with takes this whole god thing very seriously. Then who are you to question the truth of it all?
My first doubts came when I was in church, probably 7 years old, listening to a preacher who told a story about forgiveness and the consequences thereof. I don’t think I ever gave it a thought before, but when I listened to that story it just didn’t make any sense to me. The consequences…, this was about heaven and hell. And I remember thinking there can be NO WAY that this god that everybody’s loving so much, because he’s soooo good, that he would create something like hell, a place where you’ll burn and be in a terrible pain for eternity?!?!?!
So I made something up and I figured it out pretty quickly: hell wasn’t what we all think it is, absolutely not! No, hell is earth. Hell is where we are. Literally. Just look around and see what’s going on here on our planet. Wars, killing, hunger, diseases, pain, not just now, but it wasn’t much better in the old days if you had to believe in the stories about the history of earth and…..
Well…, that was me when I was only 7 years of age.
Of course I didn’t think god wasn’t real, but I was proud of myself for debunking the first, but very important myth that a good god could do or even think of such evil things.
It took me a couple of years of questioning more and more to finally come to the conclusion that god isn’t like a person who watches from above and do things that we don’t understand. No, by this time (I think I was 14 or 15 years old) god turned into a colorful ‘energy’ that was nothing more and nothing less than the key to the whole universe and the answer to all the questions we couldn’t answer.
A couple more years later I thought “well, who am I kidding? If this is what god is, why call it god anyway?
Of course, the idea of the bible as a book of truths was something I discarded a long time ago already.
But there was one thing I couldn’t let go of for a very long time actually. And you probably already know what it was. The afterlife. I really wanted to believe that death didn’t mean that everything ends there. Not for me and not for my loved ones.
I think it was after I had my first surgery under full anesthesia. When I woke up I slowly realized that I was away, I didn’t remember anything, I didn’t feel anything, no pain, absolutely nothing… and then I squeezed that last little bit of religious ballast, the result of many years of brainwashing by people who have been brainwashed themselves for all of their lives, out of my system. And oddly enough, it felt like a relief.
It’s a long story, but atheist people need to realize that it’s extremely hard to think rationally when you’ve been told irrational bs since you were born by the people you needed to trust more than anyone else.
And for lots of people, if not most people, it’s impossible to do. It’s so much easier to not ask too much questions and just believe what you’ve been told to believe.
Thank you for sharing your story, Mario.
@@mariodriessen9740 I think this story is quite common for people who grew up going to religious schools. (I am nearly 70).
My first doubt appeared about 7 when I came out of confession and two Protestants beat me up, stole my rosary and threw it down a drain.
My guardian angel didn't warn me. The claimed all knowing, all powerful god did nothing?
I told the priest about this. We had been told that the rosary was sacred and gods property we were privileged to look after.
The priest told me I must have deserved it some way by sinning without realising it?
This didn't add up to me. That was the beginning. By age 14 I was jumping over the school wall to avoid going to mass.
In later years, trying to find what might be true, I read the bible, koran, Bhagavad-Gita, etc and many other books. After a time you see a pattern in all of them.
The conclusion I arrived at was this, which I formulated as a question.
The truth is independent of perception it doesn't care whether you like or believe it or not. That's what makes it truth and not opinion.
One two part question for people with superstitious religious beliefs.
(A) If someone told you (or you read in a book) that the sun used matches and candles to spread light and heat at night.
Would it be obvious to you, how self evidently illogical, irrational, unreasonable and nonsensical this idea was? (Would you understand why)?
(B) If someone told you (or you read in a book) that something capable of creating a universe and everything in it, used puny humans and books to spread accurate information.
Would it be obvious to you, how self evidently illogical, irrational, unreasonable and nonsensical this idea was? (Would you understand why)?
All gods are imaginary. No people = No imagined gods.
I had an explosive run from very confidently religious to atheist in a matter of a couple years when I was 12-14 after a string of sad episodes that occurred in my family. I realize that religion didn't help me relieve the pain, nor did believing in a loving all-powerful God make it any easier to accept the tragedies that were happening around me. It was a very difficult trip and it hurt quite a bit (I had to completely discard everything that I believed about life and the world after all) but after I completely rejected any form of spirituality I started feeling more at ease with life and myself and others than I ever had before. I don't envy people who have faith, I'm happy they found their way to be happy and serene, but otherwise I just don't care.
This is honestly sad to see from a catholic pov
I'm catholic and will never give that up because it's the only thing that gives me comfort about death
Why be atheistic when.uncan be agnostic
There is so much of this universe that without God is left to miniscule chance that logically could not happen
"Copper, iron and other metals in nature can't make anything on their own. So the internet in my computer must be the work of God."
This is a bad example because metals actually can't make a computer without an intelligent creator. The questioner tries to extend this point to atoms as well. In his video he said "bricks cannot form a house on their own".
To refute his point is actually a bit harder and requires a bit more depth on atomic interactions to explain the phenomena.
Actually understanding atomic interactions is not necessary to demonstrate that the analogy is false.
Computers are intelligently designed by humans. They belong to our natural reality; so to their tools, their materials and the procedures followed.
Creator gods are supposed to reside in a supposed supernatural reality.
@@marknieuweboer8099 a theist would argue that God is the "glue" that created intelligent life which then gave way to the creation of tools from basic materials. I don't understand your claim that God can only exist in a supernatural realm and not a real realm, you can't prove that assertion. But you can prove chemistry and quantum mechanics, so it's a much stronger argument IMO.
@ NoahD: it's not my claim. Take it up with theists.
Replacing tools, materials and procedures by a vague analogy like "glue" doesn't help. What does the word mean? What does it consist of? How does it work? We can answer such questions for designing computers, not for some creator god or another using "glue" to design intelligent life.
Oh - and why does that "glue" not apply to using chemistry, quantum mechanics and atomic interactions? You undermine your own argument.
I believe “I don’t know” is a valid, honest answer.
So you are agnostic?
@@tchrisou812 I don't think he's anything because agnostic is believing in a god who hasn't interacted or plans to interact with the world since the beginning of time.
@@unclejoe8313 that's not what agnostic is, I don't think. And I've seen agnostic used as a modifier for atheist and theist. As well as gnostic. An agnostic atheist is someone who doesn't believe in god. But doesn't assert that no god exists or that gods existance is impossible. A gnostic atheist is someone who doesn't believe in god, bad asserts to know 100% that no god exists.
I mean... no one really knows for sure, why are people pretending they do?
Better to have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned

It’s always an interesting conversation to have when you’re speaking to someone about their religious beliefs and they are capable of following logical paths of reasoning but they seem to somehow end up off the path because their beliefs weren’t the end of that path. You can often see moment they step off that path and either reach out for a logical fallacy or abandon logic entirely.
Basically all his points boil down to the classic: “I don’t understand, therefore God!”
I think therefore... I am... Lol

But a pencil also lacks the ability explain feelings of love, but a pencil can be used to write a love letter. Some things cannot be done with a black pencil, but others things can be done, even though the pencil itself cant describe love, but the pencil can in fact explain love and feelings if "it works" or interact with a human.

Who created the Creator? If a believer can accept that the Creator has no Creator, why should the Universe be any different?
Superficiality will not be an excuse at the Judgment of our deeds.
How superficial are those who believe that this reality always existed just by itself without any intelligence involved? (this is what atheists sustain by denying God)
They do not think enough to understand *the simple fact that from no intelligence involved, no intelligence comes.* They ignore the intelligence put from the beginning. For example, the intelligence mentioned includes the exact value of the speed of light matching the manifestation of what we call "gravity", working together since the primordial conditions to form in the end this reality, which hosts intelligent life that is able to feel / understand / admire / enjoy / respect / love the Creator, especially through His human form, Jesus Christ.
Those wise enough understand that *God is not bounded by time (not being bounded by what He has created), respectively He is eternal, always existed, which means that He was not created,* but atheists ignore, also, other fact about the nature of God that *our power of comprehension will always be like how much the cups can think to understand the man who made them". Anyway, they have no excuse because we have Jesus Christ, the human form of Divinity, to be able to understand.*
This reality has been created intentionally so that freedom to be 100% offered, God wanting to see the *free* choices/deeds. The problem is with those who have used (are using) their freedom for doing evil on purpose, Satan with the other fallen angels (who, according to the "Parable of the weeds", have altered this world, the DNA... making the carnivores, the parasites, the viruses, bad bacteria etc.... to sustain the useless suffering) and their tools, the evil=stupid humans, not with the One who has offered freedom.
Therefore, we live into an altered and ruled world by the fallen angels, *allowed as an exam for our immortal soul (for us) to prove to the Creator how good we really are, how much we love perfection and how much we detest evilness=stupidity,* to prove that we are not following the demons anymore, through our deeds in this short earthly life, which will be judged 100% correctly for each of us. *_"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad."_* 2 Corinthians 5, 10
In conclusion, what the unbelievers of the truth should understand is the fact that all evil we do, which cannot be forgiven by Divinity, is sending us to hell, instead of Heaven. This short earthly life is our chance to prove that we can be allowed into Heaven, to prove that we love perfection and always strive for it, by doing our best to use freedom only for good.
According to the following two testimonies (and many hundreds more available on TH-cam) all evil we do, which cannot be forgiven by Divinity, is sending us to hell, instead of Heaven:
"Atheist College Professor dies and sees hell and demons - it changed his life - Pt 1";
"Atheist College Professor dies and sees hell and demons - it changed his life - Pt 2";
"Man Sees Unthinkable Horrors in Hell - Christians Being Tortured! (Mario Martinez)".
Therefore, the believing of the truth revealed by God/Jesus will help / convince / determine... us to always strive to do only good for the rest of our earthly life (and to always regret deeply our bad deeds, to sin no more), to be easier for us at the Judgment, to go into Heaven before many others, to never taste hell, to be more loved by Divinity, but *ALL humans will be judged for their deeds* (as seen into those videos mentioned).

saying that 'atoms can't see or hear so they can't make something that can' is like saying 'i cant live in a brick so I can't live in a brick house'

Oh my god! That is literally the exact same thought that I had when I watched this!
Again talking about both man made things. Bricks and houses. What about a heart? Put all the cardiac cells together it doesn’t automatically start functioning as a heart. What is it(soul) that leaves the body when your heart or other organs can still function? What is natural death? Why can’t you collect functioning organs from people who died of other causes like accidents and make another human being? So it’s true that some kind of atoms put together may function as a unit with new characteristics, but it’s not true for complex creations like a human being or plants etc
@@abdussamee9363
1. "Put all the cardiac cells together it doesn’t automatically start functioning as a heart." It is actually possible to grow heart tissue in a petri dish that has a sychronous heartbeat, given the right conditions/outside influences.
2. "What is it(soul) that leaves the body when your heart or other organs can still function? What is natural death?" I assume what you're talking about here is death by natural causes. But that only means that the cause of death was failure some part of the body without the impact of external factors. No doctor would ever say that anyone passed away due to 'their soul leaving their body'.
3. "Why can’t you collect functioning organs from people who died of other causes like accidents and make another human being?" Have you heard of organ donation? Obviously we can't create entirely new human bodies from old organs yet (why would we want to anyway), but it's certainly already possible to replace parts of it without big complications.

The burden of proof does not lie with people rejecting a statement, opinion or belief, it lies fully with the people pushing it and claiming its' validity.
I claim the validity (and more) of "there are no gods".
According to my following simple and undeniable demonstration, there should be no more atheists. Because of the following two simple facts:
- *from no intelligence involved, no intelligence comes*
- *the results of a process prove the intelligence involved into that process*
the existence of the Creator of this reality (God/Divinity) *is proved* by the existence of this reality with intelligence into it.
That is why atheists renounce to elementary logic and to simple rationality intentionally when they believe that this reality has always existed without any intelligence involved.
*God is not bounded by what He has created,* but atheists, in their superficiality, do not want to recognize their limitations. For example, science will never be able to really know, at least, what a photon is (the magnification process being infinite). Regarding the Creator of this reality (the nature of God etc.), our power of comprehension will always be like how much the cups can think to understand the man who made them (comparison mentioned in the Bible), but *we have Jesus Christ, the human form of Divinity, to be able to see God and what He expects from us.*

But that doesn't mean I mustn't question their views.
I think the atheist approach is much more democratized and humble: there is no absolute authority, except for the scientific method of experimental validation. Every single idea, book, person can be wrong, including e.g. Newton, Einstein, or anyone else. Every answer can be falsified and questioned. On the other hand every person can, potentially, acquire the power of knowledge, try to answer.

Being a Christian and a student with an interest in science I have struggled with the nature of the universe and creation. I came to the conclusion that humans know nothing, we observe so little of what exists and we come up with answers either in a religious sense or a scientific sense. Like the story of 3 blind men interacting with an elephant, one feels the trunk and thinks it's a snake, one the legs and thinks it's a tree, one the hair on the tail and thinks it's a bush. None of them are right but are using what they know to form a conclusion. So while you may know many religious people who think they know and understand everything, a good portion of us admit to not knowing and just turning to religion as a means to explain the unexplainable.

Like the house thing, bro... is the exact same thing I thought to myself. If he is thinking in those metaphors he should be able to come up with the house/brick example or if he hears/reads this metaphor, accept that things can work that way.

@@redwolf4025 My advice to you watch to "red staff" series from youtube. YOU WILL REACH THE TRUTH !

He's a cake racist.. and also Hates HOUSES!!!!
In the first question he uses an example of a black pencil being unable to draw a rainbow, but this example alone can disprove his entire position. Take if you would 7 colored pencils, no one of these can draw a rainbow themselves as they lack the other 6 colors, but by using all 7 of them you can create a rainbow because even though a 'rainbow' was not a property any of them possessed, a 'rainbow' is merely an emergent property composed of 7 colors which each of the 7 colored pencils possessed one of. The only way for his comparison to actually prove his point is if the only way for a pencil to ever be able to draw a rainbow there must be a special 'rainbow pencil' and no pencil that isn't one (even if it can do more things) can ever be part of a process that leads to a complete rainbow drawing that doesn't require a 'rainbow pencil' at some point.
I was thinking a lot more simply, I guess. I was thinking it is easy to draw a rainbow with a pencil, the same way it is easy to draw a face or a tree or an ocean(if you are artistic enough to do so in the first place.) Just because something lacks color doesn't mean you haven't drawn it.
@@rpsdata I get that, but to be fully charitable I took what he was saying to instead of being that you can't 'draw' a rainbow instead to refer to the fact that a black pencil cannot, under normal circumstances, be used to create the 7 different colors needed to make a rainbow. I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but if you're interested I'll explain why I used the example I did even though your idea also came to my mind (not that you're wrong mind you, but I just didn't think that it lined up perfectly).
Now, I am sure that there are cases where you could use a black pencil to create each of the seven colors needed for a rainbow even (maybe with special paper, or surfaces, or something), but that would give him room to sorta pull back about that not being what he meant as he was merely giving this as an easier to understand example (potentially even arguing that your introduction of special circumstances if you introducing an outside element which proves his point of there being an outside element). Which is why I felt it best to address the point on the basis that he outlined, wherein a pencil can only be used to make drawings of one color and the implied requirement for a rainbow is to use all 7. Under these conditions, referencing how one could use 7 differently colored pencils that have different properties but are still pencils still follows the rules he outlined while pointing out the emergent properties as the Drew talked about, and this comparison also works since he was trying to say that atoms can't be used to create something they aren't themselves. One could say that your comparison is akin to him saying that atoms cannot make up the body of a human being (the outline/drawing of a rainbow), which isn't correct as I don't think he denied that our bodies are ultimately composed of atoms when you break it down, instead he was referring to the 'intelligence' behind a human being or any other life (in this example this is represented by the colors of a rainbow), the 7 colored pencils in this example each represent different types of atoms and it is their interaction together that allows a new drawing to be possible where none were able to originally do it, and when you realize this you see that his example required that there was a pencil that had 'rainbow' as an inherent property (in this case a higher intelligence) for 'rainbows' to ever be fully colored. By this though, it's not simply enough for a 'rainbow pencil' to exist, as it must also be impossible for normal colored pencils (atoms) to be able to ever make a fully colored rainbow as he posits it's impossible for atoms to ever make the full 'intelligence' behind animals. Granted disproving this example doesn't render his full point moot, but it does reveal that for a truly fair example of what he was referring to you have to make a far more complicated system than he realizes.
Sorry that I rambled on for awhile, but I like to talk about some of these things and ultimately the point I felt should be pointed out wasn't that his metaphor was built on a faulty premise (that you cannot draw a rainbow with a black pencil), even though it was, but that his example inherently disagreed with his own argument that emergent properties don't exist, and he simply closed his mind off once it 'agreed' with him and failed to consider alternate perspectives.
@@rpsdata Spot on! My immediate reaction to that awkward rainbow analogy was, yes, you can draw a representation of such a thing with a pencil.
The rainbow carries millions of colours. We could see 7 distinctive colours only. The boundaries are not defined and mix of various colours at various levels give different shades, just like TV where only 3 basic colours are needed to define all 16 million known colours!!
If I have a black pencil, and a piece of rainbow scratch paper, I can draw rainbows, and all kinds of colorful images!
By his original analogy, that would be like if the universe *itself* contained the potential for order and structure out of chaos, needing only any random stimulus to set it off... which is probably not far off from reality. I think it's fair to say he's dead wrong. 😄
I admire your patience... Keep up the good work!

The best answer to almost any question on the subject of religion for me has always been this: "A human as a species and as a separate being is not able to fully realize the boundlessness of the surrounding world, therefore, as a bad artist, he draws sketches that seem to him to look natural. but the difference between science and religion is that science continues to look for details for the drawing and supplement" It is difficult for me to live with the realization that I am even less error within the universe, but it is sobering and gives a reason to develop

“I don’t know.” Is an answer.
It’s an honest answer.
It’s the right answer.
I don't know... But I'm willing to figure out or learn . Is honestly the right answer
Also, just because “I” don’t know, doesn’t mean humanity doesn’t know. Some scientific concepts are really complex and don’t translate well to laymen terms and so you really have to study something for years to fully understand it. People like simple, easy to understand answers where they don’t always exist. It’s why a lot of people turn to religion to explain things. “God did it” is an simple, easy to accept answer to complex questions.

@@aarthiramesh4584 some things are beyond our understanding, which most theists cannot accept. They insist they know the truth and make claims without supporting them with solid evidences. Anyone can do that, even a child. I can claim God has a beak, no one can disprove nor prove it. Does that mean that's the truth? Nah. Theists really like to throw questions at atheists when they shouldn't even be doing that, they should be the one answering the questions instead. Atheism isn't a belief-system, why do we need to get interrogated?

This.
I completely agree. Is this not where we are headed with all these ... 'truths'? .. Is this not precisely the 'job' that is being done on us to debase science .. to create a 'herd' of voters .. I think so..
Also add that we look to verify things that make sense based on pre-established facts, rather than trying to verify things that there is no real basis for in this universe.
There is no verified evidence of a creator within the scientific scope, so we don’t bother dealing with those explanations because there is no reason for those explanations to be realistic.

@Khush Bakht Khan
Your comment is littered with grammatical mistakes, but I'll try my best to respond to them.
"Ok. Cosmos begin to exist for if it had eternal past it would never reach this point. Like if I was to type for eternity I would never get to post this comment. Empirical proof."
By cosmos, I assume you mean the Universe. Your argument already has flaws in the first line of text. For one thing, there *is* a possibility that time has always existed in some form before the big bang, it's just that we currently have no way to trace it. Also, you are comparing two vary different things. You are comparing the universe, in its ever-flowing span of time, to a finished comment. The Universe is not 'finished', so your analogy is incorrect, and certainly not empirical proof. In any case, there is no proof that specifically a creator was the one to have made the Universe.
"It was created by some thing creating time so there was no before this way creator would not have eternal past. At one time creator was enough to create cosmos and at one time now so it was created by something conscious. Creator is intelligent based on fine tuning of the universe. Universe runs on laws an law giver requires knowledge. Creator is one as not only there is no proof for other creator but if he was to exist it would cause question like y he did not started and why is doing nothing and so on."
A lot of this is a jumbled mess that makes no real sense to me, especially the second sentence, but here you are referring to a creator as if we all know he exists already. That is false. We do not know if he exists or not, and your 'proof' has already been shown to be wrong. We only know that natural, scientific laws exist, not what it was that created them. Laws, as they are, will always be defined by those who are subjected to them, not those who create them.
"It is description of Islamic God Allah.
Creator that created the cosmos does not become cosmos it self.
Say Allah he is one and only
.the eternal and absolute.
Not does he beget nor does he is begotten. And there is none like him."
This is just you saying that Allah and Islam are great, and as such is irrelevant to my response. In my agnostic opinion, however, there is not any- let alone enough- proof that a God exists, let alone 'Allah' specifically.
"God sent messengers to every nation to explain to them purpose of creation."
Show me proof, please, anything. You won't find solid proof outside of religious texts. Why? Because they never existed.
"He wanted to test humans an create his best and worst creation one that obeys him with free will and every prophet was given miracles to show to their people. Muhammad saw is last messenger of God and his miracle is Quran."
Muhammad is the one and only 'prophet' of the Judean religions to be confirmed to have existed. His experiences with God, however, were seen by him and him alone, with the only references to his story being in Islamic religious texts. His story was most likely spread through word of mouth, and written down after gross misinterpretation. Even if the story he told his closest followers directly was the same one told today, there is no living evidence that what happened between himself and Gabriel was factual.
"It is unique fusion prose and poetry and new literary form never heard by an arab before or after It. So they accused prophet of magic."
I don't remember hearing anything about accusations of 'magic' from the story of Muhammad I know. I was certainly told that he went to Mecca, accused the people of worshipping idols of 'untrue gods', and got thrown out after. He then went to Medina, told the people of Medina his story, raised an army, and raided Mecca, destroying all of the idols in the city.
Just now thinking about it, Islam was born from a considerable amount of conflict, considering it's a religion that's meant to be all about peace.
@Khush Bakht Khan
My response was actually quite matter-of-fact and scientific. You have provided no proof of 'Prophethood' at all. You have only stated it, and a creator, exists.
Also, I highly doubt you could show me any miracles. If you want to prove to me that you can 'give' miracles, or even want to show me one, be my guest. I don't want to leave any rational evidence unturned.
Also, the Qur'an is not a miracle, it is a book written by the followers of Muhammad.

Science: we dont know, we're trying to figure it out
Religion: we dont know so it cant be anything other than god
Well not really religion is belief and because we dont know we believe there is a superior intelligent creator, but that does not mean i should say “i dont know something so i will say god” you need to study the thing and thats why religion encourages studying, questioning and observation. Sorry if the sentences dont connect very well.

i dont support the original argument u put into quotes i just wanted to point out that the example u gave doesnt really work since a hairstylist doesnt GIVE hair, a bald hairstylist doesnt give that feature they dont have (hair) to their client. they do nothing more than what the name suggest and that is styling. this ofc unless we are talking about wigs in which case that would be correct :D

For example this bald hair stylist does not have a mohawk as they have no hair however they are able to give someone else a mohawk.
I went and looked at question 2. It's really badly phrased but these are the notes I took while watching it and I think they summarise it in a way that makes it easier to understand. It's just a more advanced form of the usual arguments about evolution and life etc etc
If everyone is a soldier a commander is required
If everyone is a prisoner, a judge is needed
It is a rule that you can't be a judge and a prisoner at the same time
A room can't be dark and light at the same time
A piece of paper can't be dry or wet at the same time
Generally, one can't hold opposite attributes at the same time. This is a contradiction
Now think of a building being built, if we do not accept the architect to build it, it will be a contradiction to assume that the bricks are building this on their own.
The bricks will therefore be prisoners (controlled) and judges (controlling) at the same time.
The bricks have no ability to form a building on their own as they are both the controlled and the controller if no architect is assumed.
He is arguing that the atoms in the human body are the same in that they can't be controlling and controlled at the same time.
How can atoms get along with each other and create so many people every day while they have no knowledge, free will and life? (aka how to they know what to do if there is no atom controlling and therefore no atom being controlled?)
In summary, bricks can't form a building without an architect and atoms can't form a human body without a creator themselves.
As long as there's a scientific minded person saying "I don't know", there will be a religious person saying "Aha! Then my explanation of a magical wizard wins!"
This short earthly life is a school and exam for our immortal soul, for those who did not listen by the Creator to understand the value of "light" without experiencing the "darkness".
Atheists renounce to elementary logic and to simple rationality intentionally when they believe that this reality has always existed without any intelligence involved, because *from no intelligence involved no intelligence comes and the results of a process prove the intelligence involved into that process. That is why the entire process until nowadays is proving the existence of God.*
This reality has been created intentionally so that freedom to be 100% offered, God wanting to see the *free* choices/deeds to reward accordingly. *_"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad."_* 2 Corinthians 5, 10
The problem is with those who have used (are using) their freedom for doing evil on purpose. That is why it is not easy to fight continuously with what Satan has done to this world (carnivores, parasites, viruses, bad bacteria... the so called _"weeds"_ in Matthew 13:24-43) and to ourselves ... because *until our physical death we fight with the works of the fallen angels and of their tools, the evil=stupid people, the consequences of evilness = stupidity.*

@@MrFlameRad no need to be disrespectful
@@MrFlameRad Pretty sure it will. There are already many hypothesis and unlike the hypothesis you believe in a scientist isn't bound to believe one hypothesis and just accept 'it is how it is' they can continue to prove and disprove and continue to uncover more question than what they started with and one day eventually the research will explain the original of life. But even now, at least they can move forward unlike your belief that walls your progression and knowledge. Everything you know about life was discovered and practiced because of scientist and not God. It's like when somebody gives a hungry food and they thank God instead of the person that actually fed them. You can believe what you want. I don't consider myself Atheist and do occasionally worship god and pray but it doesn't give me or anyone right to insult the hard work of others.

@@filmeseverinyou think on far too short a timescale. Given an infinite amount of time, every conceivable thing would happen in the universe just down to probability. There is a high degree of hubris involved in assuming things don’t happen at chance and randomly to lead to where we are today and that some form of intelligence MUST be involved.
This Universe has *a finite* amount of time (from its beginning to its end). I recommend the reading of my recent messages for a better understanding.
By the way, more than 2000 years ago Jesus Christ, the human form of the Creator (God / Divinity) has said:
*_"The sky and the earth won't last forever, but my words will."_* Matthew 24, 35
He also said: *_"I am the way, the truth and the life."_*
Unfortunately, the superficial ones or/and those too deceived do not think enough to understand *the simple fact that from no intelligence involved, no intelligence comes,* the entire process until nowadays proving the existence of God because *the results of a process prove the intelligence involved into that process* (even schoolchildren can understand that every photon, ... atom, ... cell has intelligence into it, *not to mention their functionality together).*
They ignore the intelligence put from the beginning. For example, the intelligence mentioned includes the exact value of the speed of light matching the manifestation of what we call "gravity", working together since the primordial conditions to form in the end this reality, which hosts intelligent life that is able to feel / understand / admire / enjoy / respect / love the Creator, especially through His human form, Jesus Christ.
