      That's true in one sense and definitely true in response to the New Age nonsense on offer here, but every part of your body operates in a feedback loop so, strictly speaking, the heart does influence thoughts and feelings, then so do your elbows and toes and liver and genitals... the brain doesn't operate in a vacuum.

      Humans aren't rational, there driven by emotion. Science works on logic.
      A scientific theory as to be quantifiable and undergo rigious testing my independent, impartial scientific minds. Only when the scientific community as a whole or majority are willing to accept it does it become fact but even then it can be reevaluated if new information comes to light. If those people had been debating dark matter, they would have had no emotional response and asked for a credible, scientific solution. Only agnostic like me, say we don't know if God exists or not. It's only agnostic people who have a absent of emotion upon the issue. If you don't know something, you should admit you don't know.
      Faith and belief are perfectly acceptable arguments.

Questions lead to truth, understanding, and progress. Religion is the biggest impediment to mankind's progress, quality of life and survival.
      There are so many different denominations and so many more sects within and much more than that, that have been forgotten.
      There is only ONE truth and it is beyond our comprehension and if you don't realize that you are disingenuous or delusional
      All religions are a fraud except yours of course.

      +Ms10000123 correct... and she was almost invoking that we're all so different because of finger prints. well, we also all have a heart, a brain, lungs, arms, legs, feet, fingers & toes.... which would seemingly make us virtually all the same in that context. and she's trying to connect the dots w/ something spiritual or supernatural. but the problem w/ her scenario (and there's really not getting around this) is that she cannot confirm her god unless maybe she has god's fingerprints. of course that sounds short-sided, but her argument is no less short-sided.
      red herrings are no way to go about providing evidence or even good examples to a flawed scenario.

Surely, some moral Puritan of radical left writing for huff po’ or the guardian would “expose” him as a gate way to the alt right. He might fair better than Dawkins or Harris but still be stained with the brush of moral impurity for his views on democrats, gender roles and his harshness on Islam. Although he always had something that others did not, an intimidating unyielding conviction for justice. So much so that I have seen people who would object to what he said if said by anyone else. There’s nothing close to a replacement.

      If someone wants to believe in God or gods that's fine, they should be honest with themselves and others and admit its based on illogical wishful thinking, emotion and a desire to explain that which one cant rationally explain.

      I doubt physicists 70 years ago set out to find black holes or dark matter, it was just happened.
      However if spirituality or religion was looking to science, which it isn't, for validation, they may have many centuries or perhaps millennia to wait. In the mean time many things considered spiritual today will be explained away by science.

    Watching this made me remember something the renowned physicist, Lawrence Krauss said about people letting their preconceptions of what's logical dictate what the conclusion should be rather than the conclusions forcing them to conform to what it has shown. It's like people who lived in the medieval era who thought the world was flat because that's how they perceived it to be.
    This ties in with the blonde haired woman who brings up Issac Newton, and quotes him as saying that the fact there are thumb prints and that no two thumb prints are the same was enough to persuade him that God exists. It's essentially the whole intelligent design argument that gets repeatedly trundled out ad nauseum. She's using Newton to rationalize jumping to the conclusion that no two intriciate thumb prints being identical means there must therefore be some intelligent mind that designed them. Her preconception of what should be logical allowing her to dctate what the conclusion should be. That is a scientifically illogical fallacy.

    Blind faith is to abandon reason and essentially turn off your brain.
    Day to day faith is 'playing the odds', a logical idea, however one that is not without bias if there is no doubt in that faith. For instance you might walk up a relatively safe street expecting not to get stabbed, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't stay aware of your surroundings. The doubt is a method of discovering the truth.

    You have to separate 'faith' in a biblical sense (and what is laid out by the faithful to prepose that everyone has faith) from confidence, which is a much more mundane usage of the word. 'Faith' that your steak will hit the table the way you ordered it is simply the confidence you have that it will. Faith in God may be described as a form of confidence but without recourse to verification or falsification. Ergo, faith in the latter sense is incompatible with reason.

  • @KenMerrell
    @KenMerrell 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    The problem is with the way "faith" is used. It gets used interchangeably as confidence, trust, truth, and belief. I have faith the sun will rise tomorrow. That's a statement of confidence based on experience. It's wrong to conflate that with faith that there is a diety.

    • @Capybarrrraaaa
      @Capybarrrraaaa 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most major groups of the religious make 'statements of faith' where they explicitly say something to the effect of 'we know there's no evidence, faith is just belief'.
      When you have 'faith' that the sun will arise tomorrow, that's a trust in the evidence based on it's consistent accuracy. It's even a bit of a stretch to call it 'trust'.
      It's the other way around for the religious though. They've seen no substancial consistent evidence that points to a deity. It's always confirmation bias, personal incredulity, etc. They don't have 'trust' in the existance of a god or their doctrine, they have 'faith' because it's purely unsupported. Some groups support this idea and lean into the 'we know there's no natural evidence for it, but god is supernatural, so ha'.

  • @effyleven
    @effyleven 9 ปีที่แล้ว +20

    Faith and reason are not compatible. By definition, "faith" is belief despite the absence of any good REASON to believe. If the belief was reasonable (that is to say, for some good reason, say, something like evidence) then it automatically ceases to BE faith, anymore.
    The problem here is that too many people believe faith is some sort of *virtue*... something they are proud of having as if believing things without a reason was somehow a good thing. It is NOT. Faith is a failing of the intellect, and not a triumph of the spirit... The sooner humanity can abandon faith altogether and relegate its practise to history, the better. Now, this process is well under way, but it still moves ahead too slowly.

    • @101mythbuster
      @101mythbuster 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You have it all perfectly backwards. Faith is the very principle of learning and discovery, not doubt. If we all had a perfect knowledge and understanding of all things, there would be no need for faith, but clearly we do not, so faith is therefore essential. Your definition of faith is merely a secularist definition, not what is actually taught in scripture. Faith is a spiritual gift from God to help guide us to all truth. It is not at all in conflict with sound reason, only with flawed theories. Faith and reason go hand in hand. Therein lies the difference between KNOWING something and UNDERSTANDING it.

    • @emenz910

    • @effyleven
      @effyleven 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      101mythbuster You can't have any "spiritual gift" from something that doesn't exist. Faith in its existence with absolutely zero evidence for such belief is not some kind of intellectual superiority. .. it is being an idiot. It is time to grow up, and STOP being an idiot!

    • @effyleven
      @effyleven 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Emenz As already stated... faith is NOT having a reason for belief. That's the whole point of faith... the LACK of reason. Consequently, as already stated, if there WAS a reason for belief, BY DEFINITION it would not be faith.
      Understanding fundamentals like this is crucial to any discussion on the matter. If you do not know what the words you are using actually MEAN, there is no way we can exchange any understanding, of fundamentals or anything else.
      Good day.

    • @101mythbuster
      @101mythbuster 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      effyleven​​​​ Faith is the assurance of things for which we have no proof, hence, it is in and of itself a form of spiritual evidence. Faith is not merely intellectual belief as so many atheists define it, it is something you can feel. And yes, it is a very real gift, actually.
      When did I ever say faith afforded me intellectual superiority? Not sure were you got that from, since the only ones thinking themselves intellectually superior are atheists, always accusing believers of being irrational. Well let me tell you, I have absolutely no need of suspending reason in order to accommodate my faith. Unlike you, I understand that our scientific knowledge of the universe doesn't even begin to scratch the surface. It would be irrational for me to discard the possibility of God. Don't be mad at me just because your tiny little mind can't fathom it.

  • @DataJack

    This is conversation is semantics at this point. Believing in a god that shares no attributes with any god ever defined is not really believing in a god, IMO. Einstein said repeatedly that when he said "god" he meant the workings of the universe. It was not something that created us (or the universe), it did not impart morals, knowledge, or wisdom, it wasn't self-aware, and didn't require (or even understand) worship. It was just his term for existence (note that Spinoza differed on this point)

  • @azminabu3515
    @azminabu3515 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    How to believe/trust?. How to believe what books/people say or write?
    Firstly, we have to find which religion is truth/true/right. How? We
    must have same definition or meaning of the truth/true/right. We must
    use same method to determine the truth/true/right. Believe => claim =
    test/check = see. This is normally practice by everybody when we
    buy/accept something/good which is expensive from other people(we see or
    we do not see).
    Example: We want to buy a black pen(can see - evidence) in the shop was
    created/produced/manufactured by Marker(do not see) cost around 10K USD.
    Producer/Manufacturer(do not see) claim, It is a black pen written on
    the pen. The salesperson(can see) also claim, it is a black pen. Outside
    (can see), the apparent is black in colour. Inside(ink, can not see),
    we not sure, it is black or blue or other colour. So, we have to
    test/check it. Take white paper and write to it to confirm it. It is
    black. When I see, it is black. It is true/right. I believe/trust it.
    So, I buy/accept it without any doubt. Same as how An automated teller
    machine (ATM) work. Think. Must key in same number/pass word(only owner
    know the pass word). If you do not want to test/check, it is up to you.
    It is your money. It is your life. Free will. Our life is only one
    chance given by god(can not see). When we die, we see the truth, we can
    not go back in this world(can see). It is too late. I obey what Allah
    say in Al Quran surah Al asr (The Time) 103(30): recommend one another
    to the truth. I want to get mercy from Allah. If everybody can see god
    and his power, there is only one religion. No free will. Have to ask
    permission, when want to do something. have to get approval
    first.Everybody fear to god. Everybody have to obey the command/law/rule
    from that god only. No arrogant people/man. People/Man become humble.
    like plant, bee, animal, moon, planets, sun, stars - because they see
    and believe that god and his power. For sure, this world is peacefully.
    Our faith is very expensive.Please open Al Quran Surah Al Hujurat 49:
    6. O who believe! If a Fasiq (liar-evil person) comes to you with and
    news, verify it, lest you should harm people in ignorance, and
    afterwards you become regretful for what you have done. Please open
    Bible John 4:1. Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test to see
    whether they are from God, for false prophets have gone out into the
    world. We test and verify the claim/message words of god from Bible (can
    see), Torah (can see), Al Quran(can see), and other religion books(can
    see). We must get/see same result(claim=test/check=see) or not. God(can
    not see) create man(can see - evidence). Man worship god. Question: How
    is god create man? What Method? God create man from ground
    dust(Torah,Bible, Quran) or man rib(Torah, Bible,Quran) or woman
    only(Bible,Quran) or Nutfah(mix drop of male (sperm) and female
    sexual(female egg cell/ova) discharge)-Quran, 1440 years ago, they did
    not see it, but now, we can see it by using electron microscopy. Or
    other religion books or other book?. We do
    testing/experimenting/checking to verify it, by using these method to
    create man. Everybody can test/experiment/check, verify and see it.
    Which method can create/produce man?.Answer: The claim/message/words of god in Al Quran is truth/true/right.
    Conclusion: Certainly, we can create man by this method (claim by Al
    Quran). Certainly, Al Quran is truth/true/right. Certainly, Allah create
    man. Certainly, Man belong to Allah. Certainly, Man have to obey Allah
    rule/law. Certainly, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w was the last prophet sent by
    Allah to us. Certainly, This religion is truth/true/right. So, we have
    to believe/trust it . Please, read Al Quran and think. Find and use
    knowledge to make wise decision. You get the answer. Sorry, my English
    is not very good.

    There are laws at work, we don't invent them, we discover them.
    And then find uses for them, often cleverly, often deadly.
