      Nah. Sye is just exposing the fallacious worldview atheists hold. I really don’t think many catch what Sye is trying to point out. The question is, how can atheists account for reason or logic? Answer: they can’t or would just say, laws of logic are a consensus, Which means they are made up, which mean, ultimately, anyone can make any claim, logical or illogical, and it would be accepted because the laws of logic are a consensus(made up and agreed upon).

      Yes, but you have to understand what they MEANT by that. Which is made clear when you read their stuff. If you keep taking slices of slices...of slices of cheese, you keep getting smaller and smaller pieces of cheese. If you do the same for a cow, you don't keep getting smaller and smaller 'cows'. So the early Atomists believed that cheese was elemental, but cows were not. This early reasoning is a LONG way away from modern atomic theory. And given our advancement into sub-atomic particles, it's even more incorrect. Kyle is in desperate need of a History and Philosophy of Science class at his local university.

      Jake B “everyone knows god exists”
      Is without a doubt the worst argument for a god. For starters every non believer knows you’re being dishonest. It’s the equivalent of me saying “You know a god doesn’t exist, you’re just playing make believe”.
      But also any believers who have questioned their faith. Because how can they question a thing exists, if they are already supposed to know he exists. The slightest doubt a Christian has totally disproves the claim, everyone knows a god exists.
      Which is why many Christian apologists won’t use that argument. Sye’s built his career on it and can’t drop it now.

    • @jakebishop8921
      @jakebishop8921 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Jarl Grimm Your problem is that you don’t understand what he’s meaning when he says it. It’s not an argument when he says it, it’s a certainty. He’s not arguing from neutrality with you, then proving some god. Obviously his position as a Christian is to have scripture as his standard for truth.
      Doubt only exists because of sin. So of course Christians will have doubt. That’s why God, in scripture says “lean not on your own understanding”. We aren’t perfect, but I can’t even doubt God without presuppposing his existence.
      If many Christians apologists don’t want to use Gods word to defend their faith, then they’re not very good apologists.

      It could very well refer to atoms as they were conceptualized at the time. Those ideas first proposed by Democritus had been out for about 500 years at the time Hebrews was written and were popular with the Epicureans, a philosophical school that was pretty big in the Roman Empire at the time. I would be surprised if an educated man at the time Hebrews was written had never heard of any of that in fact. Too bad Matt didn't point any of this out.

    If Sye is a brain in a vat, then the bible isn't real, or his god. In which case Matt still wins.
    If neither of them are brains in a vat's, Sye still doesn't have sufficient evidence or an argument, in which case Matt still wins.

    It's funny a Christian would resort to "What if you're a brain in a vat". Because they think consciousness come from a soul, not the brain. So shouldn't they be saying "You could be a soul in vat"? Isn't the very fact that Sye says "Brain in a vat" a recognition (an admittance if you will) on his part that consciousness comes from the brain, and not a soul.

    Re; Zack and his bible verse supposedly about atoms. The Greek philosopher Leucippus in 440 BCE devised the concept and actually named the indivisible, unseen building blocks "atoms". The word "atomos" means indivisible. A hypothesis that actually NAMES and describes atoms is more accurate than a random bible verse.

    55:00 I agree the moral argument is probably the best argument for god. People really want to believe in objective moral truths. Just on an intuitional level people have this deep feeling that moral truths really exist, and they then seek to find a way to ground them and God seems like the most reasonable way. As flawed as it is, I think its the most persuasive argument. Personally, I just have no problem accepting that objective moral truths dont exist. And that we can just construct a secular moral system based on what is in the best interest of ourselves, our families, our communities, humanity in general and even to all sentient beings.

  • @ericbilodeau3897

    Kyle is definitely right in his criticism. Someone can vote not guilty while believing the person is guilty. Because the legal standard of reasonable doubt may be much higher than individual's personal standard for accepting a conclusion. Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that you must have at bare minimum 95% confidence in guilt to vote guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. And a jurir is only 70% certain about guilt. But that juror may be willing to believe the person is guilty based on that 70% certainty. But they know there's enough uncertainty that they can not in good conscience vote for guilt based on their own personal standard rather than the reasonable doubt standard. So they believe in guilt but can not vote for guilt
    I could give an example for myself but the inverse. The man Steven Avery from making a murderer. I believe he is innocent. But I don't believe it beyond a reasonable doubt. I believe in exoneration trials defendants must prove their innocence. So although I believe he is innocent I could not vote for innocence needing to meet the reasonable doubt standard

    I doubt that I am the first person to notice this but while listening to sye bloviate about brains in vats it occured to me this is actually in line with the worldview he promotes. Once you cut through all the religious and "spiritual " language what you are left with is eternal souls (consciousness) controlling avatars in a virtual reality that operates according to rules prescribed by the creator of that reality (god). That is what he is appealing to to claim that all capacity for reason and knowledge comes from the matrix god but fails to realize that he must still accept reality is real to function and that his worldview does not allow for him to know ultimate truth but actually pushes ultimate truth even further away into a universe he can not even know exists.

    Zack has done absolutely no research into the early Atomists. If you keep taking slices of slices...of slices of cheese, you keep getting smaller and smaller pieces of cheese. If you do the same for a cow, you don't keep getting smaller and smaller 'cows'. So the early Atomists believed that cheese was elemental, but cows were not. This early reasoning is a LONG way away from modern atomic theory. Rather than expecting Dillahunty to do the job for him, Zack should go enroll himself in a simple History and Philosophy of Science (HPSC) course at his local university.

Even among charismatic circles, evengelical circles, conservative circles, literalists and fundementalist circles, correlation and religiosity is understood in the context of theisms outside of these circles. Studies that speak of this correlation between religiosity and suggestibility doesn't say anything really about god's and goddesses.

    Late to the party here, but the first caller is right. In a court room you actually DON'T always vote guilty just because you believe the accused is guilty, you vote guilty only if you think the standard of "beyond reasonable doubt" is met, and if you don't think that you should vote "not guilty". So your position can be: "I believe the defendant is guilty, but i don't believe it's proven beyond reasonable doubt, so I'm voting not guilty".

    If you make a graph in which every piece of knowledge that you have is a node, and an edge between x and y represents that x proves y, you quickly realize that since you, as a human, have limited pieces of knowledge, in that graph, there exists at least 1 piece of knowledge that doesnt have a proof. Either that, or you force a proof and create a cycle, in which case you what we call "circular reasoning". So, by using graph theory i just proved the following statements: Omniscient beings know an infinite amounts of things, and they have an explanation for each of those pieces of knowledge. Non-omniscient being know a finite of things, and they have at least 1 piece of knowledge that is not proven. Sye argument is this "you have at least of piece of knowledge that is not proven, therefore God exists." Which translates to "you are not omniscient, therefore God exists" which can be countered with an argument just as stupid "You are not omniscient, therefore God doesnt exist, because you are unaware of the reasons for which God cant exist". This argument is also wrong, cause then we cant have an opinion on anything if we start from this. And there lies his stupid argument.
    The problem with Sye is that if you would tell him my argument, he would say "How do you know thats true?". Basically, when Sye asks "how do you know your reasoning is valid?" he wants you to prove your reason is valid, without using your reason. This is a contradictory statement. The moment Sye uses the word "know" in the sentence "how do you know your reasoning is valid" , he admits that you are capable of knowing things and the question becomes pointless. If he would ask "Do do you know that your reason is valid?", you could just simply say "yes" and when he would ask "how" you would have the same problem again.
    My last favorite way of contradicting Sye is making him admit that revelation from God is how he knows that his senses are right. Then tell him "Ok, a second ago, the aliens that created this universe, stopped time, and told me that this universe is just a computer simulation to see what kind of live can this universe support. They also told me that they wrote the entire bible thing just for fun, and nothing in that book is true". They told me this, and i know this because they revealed to me. And since my revelation is the full story of your world view, I am right. Prove me im wrong Sye. Now you turned the tables and you have access to all his tricks. In the end, he will be forced to admit that he cant prove you are wrong, and since revelation lead to 2 different stories about reality, it cant be a good way of finding out whats true.
