    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.

      Doesn't sound illogical to me, sounds plausible. However to say there's a god entity behind it is probably a rookie concept.
      The universe is conscientious of itself, so the universe is "intelligent" of itself.

      Evolution could not have occurred if it wasn't for better adapted organisms having the ability to completely replace the former population with their better adapted DNA. Species must evolve in populations with the same gene pool. Immortal organisms don't exist at least for the reason that they wouldn't have been able to update their gene pools. Death had to be inexorable even if only due to predation.
      BTW, Earth isn't overpopulated with humans yet. Those predictions have been delayed by advances in agriculture including genetic engineering, better fertilizers and pesticides, more third world countries progressing economically and being able to afford highly mechanized and scientific farming methods etc.

      Like he said in this call, painting something as wholly good/bad or strong/weak isn't true across the board. It may be giving way to temptation when he goes into a cursing fit rather than calmly explaining its his show, his rules, but like he gets the job done.

Very rarely does a theist trying to prove a god exists come up with anything worth listening to if you let them keep talking, and there’s a very good reason for that. It doesn’t take a lot to work out that if there were any sort of relevant to humanity deity we would all believe in it because its existence would be readily apparent, and would have been for centuries at the very least.

    "Evolutionary adaptations exist and not through the will of their owners, therefore God."
    "Every animal is perfect for its environment, therefore God."
    Evolution is an endless goal. The environment constantly changes, therefore life must constantly adapt to it. There is no such thing as "perfection" unless there was an environment that never changes (not possible) or an organism that can change form at will for any environment (like the Zerg for example, which do not exist). The caller does not realize he refuted himself.
    "Hawks have better eyesight than humans in terms of distance."
    Yes, so what? They need distance vision to hunt from the air, more accurately their ability to track movement is keen. Humans do not hunt from the air and we were not at the top of the food chain before we mastered fire and tools. We were hunted by big cats, so we needed good color and binocular vision to make them out.
    "If there was no death, there would be overpopulation, therefore God."
    This makes the assumption God made overpopulation a problem to be solved by death. This is very stupid. God could have made overpopulation a non-factor by making everyone gay or incapable of overproducing. This also assumes overpopulation is no longer a problem because of death, which is demonstrably false. It is still a huge problem. Also, if organisms were perfectly adapted to their environment, they wouldn't die now would they? Damn, this caller is stupid!

    Why does it always seem that these “discussions” have your opponents bringing a knife to tank battle? I almost feel sorry for them!
    I can’t understand why any rational person would be a “believer” (think something is true without any evidence and refuse to even listen to any contra arguments) especially with all the astronomical data we have for our truly insignificant place in our universe. Sorry to say this bluntly but intelligence is incompatible with religion, god and other magical nonsense.

      Yes, we like to think that we aren't very instinctual but instinct easily overrides intellect. We evolved to survive more than we evolved to know what is true. Our innate propensity for belief in god is very complex relating to social conformity, the way our minds conceptualize, and our fear of death.

      I don’t think you understand the implications of “no death”. If there was no death then there would be no life. What were you before you were born? I can answer it for you; you were dead. You were dead for an infinite amount of time, then born for a limited amount of time, and soon will die for an infinite amount of time. Without death, everything that could possibly exist would exist and it could never change because then that would be death of something. An all-existing never-changing world can’t bring experience. It would be frozen in time, stuck. This is why you, the infinite creator called consciousness, created life and death to begin with. They are inseparable opposing aspects, like two sides of a coin, that must exist together or not at all, and the relationship between them is what people call God or singularity or Karma, just to name a few.

You can’t say “I will prove that an awareness created the orderly reactions upon which the cosmos is built,” and then say that your reason is because order necessitates someone to have ordered it.

Even the smartest people can end up holding stupid ideas, and it's important that you keep that in mind.

Clarification needs to be reached at the time the statement is made.

You don’t vomit up a bunch of points at people and expect it to be clear - especially when you’ve never done this before and Matt agreed to help you work through it right from the get go.

Whatever life was on the planet would have had to come about through some means, and then just never die. There was no indication that the guy was even talking about human life. What if there was no death, but the world was covered with single-celled organisms? Would they reproduce sexually? Would they stop multiplying if the supply of nutrients ran out? Since there is death, you would necessarily have to define life very differently to support a proposition of there being no death, since we have no idea what that looks like.
