This man is great inspiration for the young and old to aspire to understand the universe around us within the framework of being sincerely compassionate and humble in communicating our ideas with the those around us.

Whenever Prof. Brian Cox speaks, I come alive with interest, and I hear what I love to hear, and I learn something new, and what I learn from him enriches my life! 🙋✨🌌🌠
He's very good. I'm pretty much ignorant on all things physics related and he does a great job of explaining it humbly so the listener doesn't feel stupid instead of engaged.

@@julian362 didn't care what he was trying convey... All agendas and conspiracy theories are to point out that the Bible is wrong of what it is trying teach.... Boils down to two simple facts #1 If evolution was real why are we not still seeing animals and humans continue to evolve. #2 Satan will try to confuse by duplicating everything that God created only thing he cannot duplicate is love.. Now I know it has nothing to do with what this guy is saying it's a generalised way of looking at things and putting these useless arguments to rest basic point the Bible is the only thing that is written by man to be true.. history is written by liers and all men and women are black of heart (meaning evil) untill they find Jesus Christ and follow the teachings... So I don't care if you think I'm just a nut case Bible lover I don't behead people for not believing in what I do, I just speak as I see and read... If you wanna have some real answer look up John Todd Collins on TH-cam if not... don't care your not me I am not you believe and follow what you wish...I'm just sick people telling me I'm wrong cause they don't wanna do research in life.
Brian Cox is the answer to Neil deGrasse Tyson so refreshing to see someone so open to listen and be appreciative of peoples opinions and open to being wrong.
@@jamesmarkov9570so a bunch of climate change deniers hacked emails and then manipulated data to say that scientists were manipulating data? And these are the people that are to be believed?

It might have come from something its just beyond our knowledge and the fact. The fact that the universe works so well from a big bang and the way it is the way it is suggests it possibly happens often, happens more than once. i imagine our universe could be like a spark from a fire floating away. most sparks fade out immediately. some last a while but die but occasionally one lasts a very long time floating away. It could be this universe is one which lasts and works. while thousands and other sparks/ big bangs fizzle out and do not come to much.
@@lexetordo8954 unknowable at this moment and maybe ever. I heard someone describe the big bang being a spark of a stream of power or something.

"I know that I know nothing" is a saying derived from Plato's account of the Greek philosopher Socrates. It is also called the Socratic paradox. The phrase is not one that Socrates himself is ever recorded as saying."
Brian Cox's brilliance lies not only in his mastery of scientific principles but also in his awareness of the impact his words can have on individuals. He approaches his work with a profound sense of responsibility, cognizant of the significance of his insights on the lives of others.

Can’t believe a man, actually believes what he says, Or does he work for a government institution & has to talk the book worm view. 13.8 billion years old, we’ve measured it. How?
I just discovered Brian Cox as a genius physicist of our time and I am grateful he exists and tells and explains us all this stuff there is about the universe in a manner we can understand, like others already said in the comments as well. "If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it yourself" I don't know who said that but my point is Brian Cox definetely understands his stuff. xD
Try to explain enterprise software code to your mother. How do you explain that simple? I think the remark is more a statement about knowing your audience than about simplicity.
You definitely can know something enough and still be unable to explain it. I know I like women, but I can't explain why I like them. I just do. And I think I understand it
Here’s another great quote from a guy every bit as smart as Einstein It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong. Richard P. Feynman
As a Believer, this was very well stated. It is arrogant to have answers for questions with uncertain evidence. I really do appreciate his respect for religion, because far too often do we see discourse in the scientific community over this immense question of origin.
I agree. I am a believer in both Science and religion. I truly think there really IS room for both. When you think about our understanding of space time, we tend to recognize time as a straight line, a beginning and an end, the alpha and the omega, but more and more evidence is leading the opposite direction in that there is no beginning or end, which is mind boggling in and of itself. In effect INIFINITY. That concept of time is staggering.
Religions are just ancient people giving answer to the same question we ask ourselves today, stupid answers but still It had the meaning of give something that people could hang on. Imagine beign born during the medieval period, not knowing anything about modern science, seems easy to just say everything is how It is because of a big dude in the sky. It was a simple answer to make things better, to give existence a meaning. But that opium that is religion is An hell of a drug and people today, with all the science etc still hang on those stuff because: is a simple answer to complex questions.
Whilst I agree that there is room for both science and religion, I find it very hard to accept any religion which has found its way to us in the form of a book. To me that is a clear sign that it is man-made. I have room for a God but I am not arrogant enough to believe such a god would communicate to us.
@@chrisloesch1870the only problem is if the universe is infinite then how did we get to the point we’re at now and we don’t know why consciousness is a thing or why we have feelings I’m not dismissing that it is a possibility that the universe could be infinite but I’ve got a feeling that there’s a lot more to it than that because there’s certain things that just leave you going what?
@@robertking1032 Measurement is a concept that is not real, which was created by _THEM_ EDIT: This is a joke pretty much everyone who replied took it seriously and got mad, so I just want to clear it up.
science "is not the discipline of saying that you're not right, it's saying this is what we found out". this is the best words i've heard from a scientist.
Well as a caveat to that I think he’s also saying religions would do well to realize when what we have found out contradicts unsubstantiated religious claims we need to except that and move forward. I mean I love this quote too but unfortunately when we discover something new sometimes that means someone else has to be wrong, it just doesn’t mean we have to shake our finger in their face and say hahah you wrong.
Very well said. If you think of knowledge like an ever-growing bubble this makes perfect sense. The more the bubble grows, the more the perimeter or the edges of knowledge grow.
I am a Christian and I really like the way this guy talks about Science. I love his humility and how he encourages others always to be humble and never arrogant. I don't detect any hostility. Great to listen to.
Not every genius is meant to be an instructor, and likewise with an instructor being a genius, but this guy was born to be both. I clearly was born for neither lol
"God is not ruled out". Words spoken by a famous physicist. This man is one of my favorite physicists of all time. There is not an arrogant bone in his body. He lends respect to religious people who want to know the objective natural truth to our reality (scientor). It's difficult in this age to have a serious interest in science as well as religion. I'm glad there are scientists like Brian Cox in this world. The man has wisdom.
god being a scientist is a possibility. infinite universes with miniscule differences between each. Sounds like a science experiment, all but 1 thing is a constant and 1 variable changed in each. "What happens when I let this play out. Can I create more of myself (say all matter in the universe collapses and becomes energy again)?" Things I figure a lone, extremely powerful being might ask/try to figure out.
@Fire Stryker Well, if God is not His creation as a whole, if God is not a part of His creation, and if God's creation is infinite, then He can't exist, as nothing can exist outside of infinity, because this would mean that the infinity is bounded by this external higher being, while the definition of infinity is unboundedness. This only leaves atheism and pantheism, the latter being the idea that God equals the Universe.
@@ergot1803 infinity is not only one. Example : Just like number you can keep count it, if you have infinite time, so you need infinite time to measure the infinite number.

People will fight over beliefs because everyone sees everyone else's BS in their beliefs but they do not see their own BS in their beliefs. But no one will fight over true faith because it's founded in humility. Note that the 'faith' religion preaches is not faith. Faith that's "don't question what we tell you" is not faith at all.
@@Cujo5 Most of what you said is BS. Unless you were there when the big bang happened it's not exactly a proven but rather another story with the label of science on it. Both science and religion require faith, but religion requires much more as an individual.

Exactly. It’s not the point to make anyone feel stupid. It’s just sharing the knowledge that we have thus far. Like he said very humbly, we don’t know all of the answers. Here’s what we observe and take it from there. I like this guys style, humble and informative.
I feel like if I ever needed to hear bad news, I’d want Dr. Brian Cox to be the one to tell me. The man’s voice is so calming. Not a ounce of arrogance in his body.
@Will Pack Possibly when we die. Guess well find out lol. For now psychedelics is as close as it gets to having any spiritual connection or anything tied to a creator and shit we dont understand for me. 100% possible its just a drug fucking with your head but interesting either way. Btw I dont assume what happens on a trip holds any merit and like I said very possible you can chalk it up as a drug messing with you.
@@Legit14525 I personally feel like its the relationship that makes it important. A connection to God, is as a connection to one's self, and/or a connection to nature, or other beings. It can be indescribable, but known, nonetheless. I feel the same for anything psycho-active or hallucinogenic. Your senses are being inhibited sometimes (blocked) or they can be magnified/intensified as well. Your brain will make up what it doesn't receive sometimes to make sense of what it does receive as it's always trying to figure things out. Sometimes you intensely feel yourself or the feelings of others. That same connection could be illusion, or it could be divine. The connection is there regardless, so as long as you learn from it, and don't jump to conclusions, I think it's as good as it gets. Who's to say otherwise, right?
It's never simple to me, it makes me dizzy, the whole Universe, laws of nature, planets and moons and life and death. It's all so, so Big and I am nothing.
A friend of mine had him as a lecturer for one of his physics modules at UoM and he wasn't that great a lecturer, in his opinion. Which is interesting because he comes across as so engaging in his TV shows and interviews, so perhaps my friend is just weird. Although, he is a fan of his as well.
maximthefox that’s interesting, maybe when he has to provide coursework with a lot of complicated math and algorithms it gets rather boring to teach, which is why he isn’t considered a great lecturer. On this show he doesn’t have to go into the math and physics behind certain phenomena, which is why he is probably more engaging in my opinion. However, this is just my assumption and I could be totally wrong lol but nonetheless that’s super cool your friend had him as a lecturer.
What's really interesting is that Christianity does indeed operate within that framework as you said. There are still some people who make up their own rules about Christianity and claim this to be right and this to be incorrect/wrong, but really the more deeper you explore these scientific laws and ideas, the more my belief of God *does* indeed exists grows and grows like a plant watered by scientific logic.
@@iamBlackGambit that's your opinion, everyone's entitled to their own and when you try and force yours like that, it just makes you sound like a prick
Disclaimer: Kind of a dumb explanation, but science is like discovering the ones and zeros and coding that make up a video game from the perspective of the characters inside the cartridge. However, if the creators of that game never encoded their name, why they made the game and what the outside world is like outside of the game no amount of data mining will ever be enough to answer philosophical questions of existence from the perspective of the characters inside that game. It doesn't mean it isn't valuable, but trying to find meaning or a lack of meaning based on scientific discoveries may be like trying to describe what your favorite video game means to you based on the coding rather than the childhood nostalgia that you have thinking back to when you first played it.
I’m Christian, when I had a white light experience I wasn’t necessarily a Christian at all, but, I decided to pray because all else failed in my life and my way caused nothing but hurt and trouble, so I knelt down and started to pray, now mind you, I was running around as a “tough guy” many close calls in life, bad car crashes, I was shot twice, so many situations like that and beyond my understanding as I’m kneeling down to pray I felt this warmth and then the room became a blinding white light, during which I felt this amazing complete love and was also hearing words that were not spoken, seeing things without looking, and so much love that I started crying it was so beautiful, I was reviving messages like everything is going to be ok from now on, there’s more to that story, but, does science explain that.? How does science explain that.? I love science I truly do, so I’m a Christian who believes in God/Jesus and science.?! On top of that, with no gravity in space I’d there was a “big bang” which is a nuclear explosion, things would be flying away from each other not flying together. You can not create something like this earth would of been 2-3000 years ago which we would of been able to drink out of any body of water and the foods would of been amazing, fish/beef, etc… and science is as good as the medicine field, it’s a practice which is to say, they speculate with their humanness, and I don’t know about you but I’ve not met any physical man face to face that lives on this earth that has not made hundreds of mistakes in his or her life.
Yes but he does limit religion to operating inside of the realities of what we know through science. And it's the right thing, because religion has a place so long as they don't start killing people for telling the truth again.
Religion does not order to kill another human. Most of the time they sold you made up content just to put out their agenda against islam or other religions. Think this way...if islam order followers to kill others then why would same islamic religion will say *killing one human is like killing entire humanity and saving one human is like saving entire humanity*
Brian is a special kind of genius to not only be able to understand complex ideas but to be able to relate those ideas to us non-geniuses in a way that we can understand.

Nah, just he is just hiding his arrogance saying "we don't know all the answers" but then continues to make very bold conclusions about reality with very limited data. This is what these mainstream science guys usually tend to do.

He'll probably just ignore them as hoaxes because they don't fit into his stubborn rigid paradigm.

mattmessuh “This doesn’t mean you can’t believe in God or gods. That’s not ruled out...”. “ it’s not the discipline of saying ‘you’re not right’, it’s saying ‘this is what we found out...’”. Those are pretty humble thing for a professor of particle physics to say, especially a famous one, imo.
Iconoclasticnation I’m not sure why “you can believe what you want, as long as you don’t disagree with me” sounds humble lmao. The ironic part is that observational science is only meaningful if your philosophy allows for it (so first of all, science is dependent upon philosophy), and furthermore, it can’t actually prove anything definitively. So everything he’s claiming to “know” really are just theories (yes, I know theories aren’t just guesses), especially when it comes to astronomy. we may see that the further away we look we see less carbon, and we see that nuclear fission produces carbon, but that doesn’t actually prove that the nuclear fission produced the carbon that we see. It is a reasonable theory, but it’s not something you can actually know to be the cause.
mattmessuh We’re talking in general terms here, not specifics. I don’t entirely disagree with what you’ve written, but I like that Brian makes plenty of concessions in acknowledging what science doesn’t yet know, and to me that’s humility. I agree that there are specific kinds of evidences that are open to a variety of interpretations, and that biases and assumptions do hold sway in some fields of science, but again, in this particular clip we’re talking generalities.
I must say -- After hearing this -- I've now changed my mind about Brian Cox. I now think he talks a lot of sense. I think l may well have mis-judged him !!

Most Islamic scholars say that one verse of the Quran (9:5) abrogates 124 verses, which are basically all the verses that talk about peace and forgiveness. This is the verse that says: “But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular Prayers and practise regular Charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful” 9:5 "فَإِذَا انسَلَخَ الأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُواْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ وَاقْعُدُواْ لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتَوُاْ الزَّكَاةَ فَخَلُّواْ سَبِيلَهُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ" التوبة 5:9 I think you Muslims are so naive. You are in trouble when you ask for the context of the verse. It shows that not all Quranic verses are relevant today and they belong only to the 7th century. Quran is becoming outdated because Muslims can not follow them all. Yet you guys without even reading anything blindly follow your religion.

We do not yet know how life began on Earth and neither does any theist, the only difference between us is that you theists dishonestly claim you do know how it happened. *Any closer/further from our sun we would not survive, nor any other life* Where are you getting this false information from?

Brian Cox is my absolute favourite scientist. He is such a great teacher. So passionate about astrophysics and so humble. And explains the concepts so elegantly. Wow! Loved him in Human Universe!
Thanks for that insight, Karl! I guess it happens with child prodigies (I'm guessing he was). I also feel that he must have had an innate humility to be this transformed. But who knows?
@@samienaamien7038 I removed my comment, I don't really see the reason to point the things out that I did, Brian is too great to be talked bad about, I guess I just wanted to emphasize that due to all the humble comments about him, he hasn't always been like that towards supernatural subjects, the Brian I started to know couldn't stand the questions, which was funny in itself, that's why it's great to see him grow and to be able to talk about it, because it's really great to hear his input on these things. And now I made the same comment anyways :P. Oh well, what I'm trying to say is Brain is the best, and I agree with your comment. I'm currently on a Brian Cox marathon, highly recommend it. Brian really makes you feel good and happy like nobody else. I would make my homework the same day that he's giving it to me :P. Great teacher, the best. As I once said, just imagine spending a night with him, but watching the stars that is, and hearing him talk.
@@karlkarlsson9126 I understood where you were coming from. And don't worry, I think it's great to know that people can grow in that way. Some scientists a la Richard Dawkins (great as he can be) tend to be as dogmatic about their own views as some of the religious orthodoxy can be. They forget that science is discovery. And they don't know enough about religion to refute it outright. They often take the scriptures too literally. I really enjoyed your comment. Also love the fact that you felt the need to delete it. It shows kindness and heart. Thanks!
PS. A night under the stars with Brian Cox sounds like heaven. I would just be listening, however. Maybe wanting to ask a few questions, but feeling too stupid to say anything. I would tell him that Contact is my fave sci-fi movie because it's got plausible science, philosophy and religion, and a very human element. And it was based on a story by Carl Sagan, one of his heroes.

The concept of an infinite universe adds complexity to these discussions because it challenges our understanding of the cosmos and the nature of existence.
Ro Lo slightly above average. He doesn't have high Fluid intelligence He's like a strategist, due to his years of podcasting he managed to talk and makes point. And that's a difference between obtaining informations and fluid intelligence. He's also self-aware, and asks questions.
Someone who has lived in a tropical rainforest their entire life without any outside contact might speculate that the entire universe is a tropical rainforest. Suppose scientists built an AI community on a computer. Couldn't the creators build any kind of environment for their simulated beings? Would the cyber beings be correct in assuming the things of their world are universal and apply to the world of their creators?
It's important to note that there is a distinction between religion and God. If there is a creator, it could be outside of the bounds of human comprehension all together if it is powerful enough to create all that we know and don't know (infinite multiverse?!). We like to put faces on things and liken them to ourselves. A force that acts outside of our known universe could be the ultimate creator and takes no form nor lends conscious connection to us. Every religion could be completely wrong and there could still be a God/creator. It's truly impossible to say because there are things that will ALWAYS be outside of our realm of understanding or quantification.
The Bible is the true word of God. It proves its self time and time again regardless it was written a long time ago. This means Jesus is God. Accept Jesus as your Lord today
@Ashton Mitchelll everyone has an agenda and we will always speak but never force. My agenda is for you not to go to hell. Free will is a gift from God. He made us not to be robots. It's your choice, choose Jesus today
@Ashton Mitchelll The historical evedence points to Jesus being God and the Bible points to Jesus too. There is no such thing as many ways to heaven. There is only one and that's through the gift of salvation Jesus have us by the cross. All the other religions are based acts and how good you are. Christianity is about a free pass to heaven by grace not acts. And yes you can turn it down and pass on the gift. It's up to you
Wow this mans views could bring everyone together, respecting difference of opinions and asking valid questions that can leave both sides without answers. Nobody truly knows who’s right or who’s wrong, but assume they are and that arrogance breeds hatred.

AK , very well said. As a Christian I think there is a possibility that elements of the bible is not literal. I listen to John Lennox and he gives that example and I think it’s very plausible. Science has made fantastic discoveries and has help with the progress of the human race. How Brian Cox also states that those who believe in science should not and can not say that science has answered everything and cannot say that there is no God. This is exactly how we should have these discussions.
rent a shill I guess. But the idea of God from what I see is a divine creator, or omnipotent being. If he was a high dimensional being I doubt he’d be a tangible physical presence we could interpret. So kind of an alien but more than that I guess.
Alessandro B10 Not necessarily. It would explain his influence in the world operating from a higher dimension. Religious texts would still hold up as God never appears as a physical being.
The next highest dimension from our own is the fifth. In the fifth dimension, time is accesible at any moment, past present, or future. This would eliminate the concept of decision making (free will), as all decisions are already “made”

It might have come from something its just beyond our knowledge and the fact. The fact that the universe works so well from a big bang and the way it is the way it is suggests it possibly happens often, happens more than once. i imagine our universe could be like a spark from a fire floating away. most sparks fade out immediately. some last a while but die but occasionally one lasts a very long time floating away.

I just discovered Brian Cox as a genius physicist of our time and I am grateful he exists and tells and explains us all this stuff there is about the universe in a manner we can understand, like others already said in the comments as well. "If you can't explain it simply you don't understand it yourself" I don't know who said that but my point is Brian Cox definetely understands his stuff. xD

Albert Einstein
Here’s another great quote from a guy every bit as smart as Einstein
It doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn't matter how smart you are. If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.
Richard P. Feynman
As a Believer, this was very well stated. It is arrogant to have answers for questions with uncertain evidence. I really do appreciate his respect for religion, because far too often do we see discourse in the scientific community over this immense question of origin.
The problem with religion is that it has its roots in ignorance
I agree. I am a believer in both Science and religion. I truly think there really IS room for both. When you think about our understanding of space time, we tend to recognize time as a straight line, a beginning and an end, the alpha and the omega, but more and more evidence is leading the opposite direction in that there is no beginning or end, which is mind boggling in and of itself. In effect INIFINITY. That concept of time is staggering.
Religions are just ancient people giving answer to the same question we ask ourselves today, stupid answers but still It had the meaning of give something that people could hang on. Imagine beign born during the medieval period, not knowing anything about modern science, seems easy to just say everything is how It is because of a big dude in the sky. It was a simple answer to make things better, to give existence a meaning. But that opium that is religion is An hell of a drug and people today, with all the science etc still hang on those stuff because: is a simple answer to complex questions.
Whilst I agree that there is room for both science and religion, I find it very hard to accept any religion which has found its way to us in the form of a book. To me that is a clear sign that it is man-made.
I have room for a God but I am not arrogant enough to believe such a god would communicate to us.
@@chrisloesch1870the only problem is if the universe is infinite then how did we get to the point we’re at now and we don’t know why consciousness is a thing or why we have feelings I’m not dismissing that it is a possibility that the universe could be infinite but I’ve got a feeling that there’s a lot more to it than that because there’s certain things that just leave you going what?

I'm glad there are scientists like Brian Cox in this world. The man has wisdom.
god being a scientist is a possibility. infinite universes with miniscule differences between each. Sounds like a science experiment, all but 1 thing is a constant and 1 variable changed in each.

Things I figure a lone, extremely powerful being might ask/try to figure out.
@John Z Depends how you look at the situation. Sometimes the result is correct but the reason for it is wrong.
@Fire Stryker Well, if God is not His creation as a whole, if God is not a part of His creation, and if God's creation is infinite, then He can't exist, as nothing can exist outside of infinity, because this would mean that the infinity is bounded by this external higher being, while the definition of infinity is unboundedness. This only leaves atheism and pantheism, the latter being the idea that God equals the Universe.
@@ergot1803 infinity is not only one. Example : Just like number you can keep count it, if you have infinite time, so you need infinite time to measure the infinite number.

@@Legit14525 I personally feel like its the relationship that makes it important. A connection to God, is as a connection to one's self, and/or a connection to nature, or other beings. It can be indescribable, but known, nonetheless. I feel the same for anything psycho-active or hallucinogenic. Your senses are being inhibited sometimes (blocked) or they can be magnified/intensified as well. Your brain will make up what it doesn't receive sometimes to make sense of what it does receive as it's always trying to figure things out. Sometimes you intensely feel yourself or the feelings of others. That same connection could be illusion, or it could be divine. The connection is there regardless, so as long as you learn from it, and don't jump to conclusions, I think it's as good as it gets. Who's to say otherwise, right?

Disclaimer: Kind of a dumb explanation,
but science is like discovering the ones and zeros and coding that make up a video game from the perspective of the characters inside the cartridge. However, if the creators of that game never encoded their name, why they made the game and what the outside world is like outside of the game no amount of data mining will ever be enough to answer philosophical questions of existence from the perspective of the characters inside that game. It doesn't mean it isn't valuable, but trying to find meaning or a lack of meaning based on scientific discoveries may be like trying to describe what your favorite video game means to you based on the coding rather than the childhood nostalgia that you have thinking back to when you first played it.
I’m Christian, when I had a white light experience I wasn’t necessarily a Christian at all, but, I decided to pray because all else failed in my life and my way caused nothing but hurt and trouble, so I knelt down and started to pray, now mind you, I was running around as a “tough guy” many close calls in life, bad car crashes, I was shot twice, so many situations like that and beyond my understanding as I’m kneeling down to pray I felt this warmth and then the room became a blinding white light, during which I felt this amazing complete love and was also hearing words that were not spoken, seeing things without looking, and so much love that I started crying it was so beautiful, I was reviving messages like everything is going to be ok from now on, there’s more to that story, but, does science explain that.? How does science explain that.? I love science I truly do, so I’m a Christian who believes in God/Jesus and science.?!
On top of that, with no gravity in space I’d there was a “big bang” which is a nuclear explosion, things would be flying away from each other not flying together. You can not create something like this earth would of been 2-3000 years ago which we would of been able to drink out of any body of water and the foods would of been amazing, fish/beef, etc… and science is as good as the medicine field, it’s a practice which is to say, they speculate with their humanness, and I don’t know about you but I’ve not met any physical man face to face that lives on this earth that has not made hundreds of mistakes in his or her life.

Yes but he does limit religion to operating inside of the realities of what we know through science. And it's the right thing, because religion has a place so long as they don't start killing people for telling the truth again.

Iconoclasticnation I’m not sure why “you can believe what you want, as long as you don’t disagree with me” sounds humble lmao.
The ironic part is that observational science is only meaningful if your philosophy allows for it (so first of all, science is dependent upon philosophy), and furthermore, it can’t actually prove anything definitively. So everything he’s claiming to “know” really are just theories (yes, I know theories aren’t just guesses), especially when it comes to astronomy. we may see that the further away we look we see less carbon, and we see that nuclear fission produces carbon, but that doesn’t actually prove that the nuclear fission produced the carbon that we see. It is a reasonable theory, but it’s not something you can actually know to be the cause.
mattmessuh We’re talking in general terms here, not specifics. I don’t entirely disagree with what you’ve written, but I like that Brian makes plenty of concessions in acknowledging what science doesn’t yet know, and to me that’s humility. I agree that there are specific kinds of evidences that are open to a variety of interpretations, and that biases and assumptions do hold sway in some fields of science, but again, in this particular clip we’re talking generalities.

Now, what we see here is this: the Quran orders Muslims to fight in order to establish Allah’s kingdom on earth (all of the earth) by any means.

“But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular Prayers and practise regular Charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful” 9:5
"فَإِذَا انسَلَخَ الأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَاقْتُلُواْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ حَيْثُ وَجَدتُّمُوهُمْ وَخُذُوهُمْ وَاحْصُرُوهُمْ وَاقْعُدُواْ لَهُمْ كُلَّ مَرْصَدٍ فَإِن تَابُواْ وَأَقَامُواْ الصَّلاَةَ وَآتَوُاْ الزَّكَاةَ فَخَلُّواْ سَبِيلَهُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ" التوبة 5:9
I think you Muslims are so naive.
You are in trouble when you ask for the context of the verse.
It shows that not all Quranic verses are relevant today and they belong only to the 7th century. Quran is becoming outdated because Muslims can not follow them all.
Yet you guys without even reading anything blindly follow your religion.

Someone who has lived in a tropical rainforest their entire life without any outside contact might speculate that the entire universe is a tropical rainforest. Suppose scientists built an AI community on a computer. Couldn't the creators build any kind of environment for their simulated beings? Would the cyber beings be correct in assuming the things of their world are universal and apply to the world of their creators?
It's important to note that there is a distinction between religion and God. If there is a creator, it could be outside of the bounds of human comprehension all together if it is powerful enough to create all that we know and don't know (infinite multiverse?!). We like to put faces on things and liken them to ourselves. A force that acts outside of our known universe could be the ultimate creator and takes no form nor lends conscious connection to us. Every religion could be completely wrong and there could still be a God/creator. It's truly impossible to say because there are things that will ALWAYS be outside of our realm of understanding or quantification.
Wow it is important to know that none of this would have known that if you didn't note that thanks genius

How Brian Cox also states that those who believe in science should not and can not say that science has answered everything and cannot say that there is no God.
This is exactly how we should have these discussions.
@@harambey What a load of bullshit.
@@thesprawl2361 ..... can you explain your post please.
How is it a load of bullshit
That's why I love this guy. He is open minded.
I like being open minded also because the fact is we don’t know how it all started or if it even had a beginning
I'm a Christian but I also want to operate within observable facts. This is well said. Cheers, gentleman.
Brian Cox has an aura of an adorable old British lady. It's like he's gonna offer us a cup of tea any moment.
Haha spot on
We always offer people cups of tea over here. It's our nature. A cup of tea can settle and calm any situation. God tea is a great!
Brian Cox is very British in his attitude. Very clever but not arrogant. We hate arrogance in the UK.
@@jackiecarter5193 you sure vote for it :)
If God does exist then he's likely some higher dimensional being beyond our comprehension.
rent a shill I guess. But the idea of God from what I see is a divine creator, or omnipotent being. If he was a high dimensional being I doubt he’d be a tangible physical presence we could interpret. So kind of an alien but more than that I guess.
I like your name that is hilarious
If he were a higher dimensional being, then all of the concepts that religions on earth hold onto would crumble
Alessandro B10 Not necessarily. It would explain his influence in the world operating from a higher dimension. Religious texts would still hold up as God never appears as a physical being.
The next highest dimension from our own is the fifth. In the fifth dimension, time is accesible at any moment, past present, or future. This would eliminate the concept of decision making (free will), as all decisions are already “made”
