    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.

    Daniel is referencing the work of Mary Schweitzer, a paleontologist who found evidence of collagen, in tyrannosaurus rex fossils, from which short sequences of DNA could be extracted. This doesn't mean that dinosaurs lived only a few thousand years ago, but that there are processes during fossilisation that had not been previously understood, in particular, the effects of iron particles in the preservation of some soft tissues. Mary Schweitzer, herself, has been very vocal about the misuse of her results by creationists.

There is a limit to how long the structural integrity of a compound can be preserved. Precisely how long that is for each compound is dependent on many factors.

      DrPommels that’s not true actually.... here’s my point with this and this is why I get frustrated. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs... cool... my problem comes in when we use different measures for determining what proof truly is and what it isn’t...it seems like when it comes to the Bible or any belief in any higher power, those who don’t believe become extremely skeptical... and that’s fine as well.... no one should believe just anything they hear... of course not.... but it never seems like, for example, those who trust in science as a whole, use that same skepticism to confirm or disprove what they believe...... with that being said.... are there scientists out there who can say this is how we date trees... these are the mechanisms we use and this is how we come up with that age...sure there are... but still how would you be able to prove that the mechanisms that are being used are correct? How would you know he isn’t misinterpreting his own information? Do you know how many contradictions happen amongst the scientific community.... do you realize how unreliable it actually is that scientific findings and discoveries are subject to change ? Facts are bro everyone exhibits faith... FACT!!!!!!! What can you prove for yourself scientifically? What do you do when your favorite scientist says one thing and then for example, Neil degrade Tyson says something completely different? How do you determine truth then ? I can go on.... your response will let me kno how serious you are tho.

      andre jones that’s a weak argument that my religious friend uses all the time. The difference between science and religion is there isn’t any proof of ANYTHING in the Bible, it’s all regurgitated stories that have been passed down for years. With science everything is always evolving so we may believe something to be true today until new evidence shows us that it’s wrong 50 years later. The difference is these are actual things that are being studied and documented. Of course every scientist isn’t gonna agree, every scientist will have their own theories, but at least those theories have been studied and they have evidence to support those theories. That’s the part you religious people always leave out when you make that argument. Science is not faith because they have evidence to back up their claims and not just stories we should believe because they told them to us..

It kind of like the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, most asteroids in the belt are over 1 million miles from each other, so you would be extremely hard pressed to see a collision of or even another asteroid if you were in the belt .

      @@norswil8763 Old Tjikko is 9550 years old, but that's the root system, not the tree itself. This is known as a clonal. Other root clonals, as mentioned above, are very old like the 80,000 (yes eighty thousand) year old Pando and the 11,700 King Clone in the Mojave Desert.
      But, to be realistic, they are clones so it's difficult to state they are truly that old. One would have to accept that the start of one clone tree at the end of the life of it's predecessor is a continuation of the original. I'm not accepting that logic. In the same way the a cancer cell is immortal because it can replicate forever doesn't mean the original cells live forever. Therefore, the true oldest living thing is the Bristlecone Pine at 4,851 years old.

What they won’t do is cite a source, give a demonstration, or even attempt because they don’t fare if it’s true, they’ve just been told to repeat.

      Oh oh, I have a fun answer for this from the BS doctrine I grew up with. So, in the days of creation as explained in Genesis, on the second day when God created the air, it says he separated the waters. I was told this meant that during creation, there was an extra layer of water in our atmosphere. This was also supposed to explain why the world was perfect for Adam and Eve. Because this extra hydrosphere supposedly created a world with a perfect tropical climate (once again BS). Also, there was less ocean and the land was more like a Pangea situation.
      Then, the floor happened. All that water came from the hydrosphere and essentially created the ocean we know today and separated the continents. Also, this all of course explains why we now have storms, destructive weather patterns, and frozen and arid regions not suitable for humans. Fun right!?
      Oh and another fun bit of bollocks I was taught as a child was that dinosaurs weren’t saved in the flood because they were genetic experiments by the “wicked” men of the world and thus perversions of God’s creation.

      @David Anewman No clonal tree colonies are a thing. Feel free to look it up. I understand it is hard when you have facts that disagree with your world view. It happens. I fought hard against leaving the faith at first. I bent myself in illogical pretzels. Once I decided to look for the truth and stop trusting faith, I still had things that challenged my viewpoint, but I have the ability to adapt now and not deny verifiable facts.

God would be outside of time and all creation would happen at once. Every decision made every deliberation about every decision already done. There would be no free will. Without free will there would be no possible true fall of man as the fall would have been predestined. It would be like a movie God wrote and produced and now is watching.

    I recently looked up the relevant figures and found that, according to Wikipedia, there are 6,400 species of mammal in the world today, 11,700 species of reptile, around 10,000 bird species and around 8,000 amphibians. Okay, let's subtract a few hundred species that are fully aquatic (and let's ignore for the moment the issue they confront of changed salinity levels). Two of each still leaves us with 70,000 individual vertebrate animals that you have to somehow fit onto a 130-metre-long ship, plus enough food to sustain them for a year.
    And that's even before you come to the hundreds of thousands of invertebrate species, PLUS the fact that these people are now claiming there were dinosaurs present as well.
    Let's not forget all the various species of prehistoric mammal, such as the dozens, probably hundreds of species of elephant that paleontologists have identified....

      And since the water would have covered the earth to a level six feet above Mount Everest, there's the added problem of where it could have drained to when it was time for it to recede. With a flat earth, it could have poured over the edge into space, but with a round earth, there would have been no "downhill' for it to flow away through. Assuming a flood that large happened, we'd still all be covered with water to a level six feet above the highest mountain.

      Regardless if the Bible is true or not, and regardless if there is any evidence of God's existence or not today.
      Put all this aside and tell me:
      If a GOD that is the inventor, designer and creator of all things, including the laws of physics that governs it (and logically he IS outside of his creation, thus he is not bound by them) existed; would it be impossible for him to manipulate the atoms like Lego pieces and turn water into wine?
      If such God truly existed, would it be impossible for him to raise someone from the dead?
      Would it been impossible for him to reinvent, design, take shortcuts, or remake the laws of physics if he is the inventor designer and creator of it?
      If he invented time, space, matter and the laws of physics that governs all things; would it be impossible for him to see everything and know everything from the outside, and be able to do all things as he pleases?
      if such a God exist ( and he is the inventor, designer and creator of all things, including the laws of physics, and is outside of his creation) can his creation ( human beings) use God's invented laws, to explain God, to prove God or to disprove him?
