WHAT IS TALK HEATHEN?
Talk Heathen is a weekly call-in television show in Austin, Texas geared toward long-form and on-going dialogue with theists & atheists about religion, theism, & secularism. Talk Heathen is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin.
Talk Heathen is filmed in front of a live studio audience every week at the Freethought Library of the Atheist Community of Austin.
The Atheist Community of Austin is organized as a nonprofit educational corporation to develop & support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing & friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of government-religion separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists & 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.

The moment someone uses the word 'evolutionists' I immediately know that they don't understand evolution. Because someone who understands evolution doesn't use that word.

They are trying to shoehorn their own methodology of religiosity onto scientific reality. The word 'evolutionist' implies an '-ism' mindset, i.e. evolution as a ritual practice. No, science doesn't work that way. People actually use their native intelligence to determine what's real, as opposed to believing spurious nonsense from presupposed authority. It's like the difference between being a four year old and an adult.

You are absolutely correct. They do that because they are unable to understand anything outside of the terms of religion. They think that EVERYTHING has a religious aspect to it. They think that anything you believe in is a religion.
A wonderful example of when someone is effectively addicted to getting outrage responses instead of actually engaging with anything. Of course he's banned from multiple places.

I am continually accused of being guilty of Dunning-Krugger syndrome because I noticed an error in Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, which is easy to explain. The equations Einstein used to describe relativity show that if there is a clock in a flying airplane that is slower than a clock on the ground, as Einstein theorizes, the speed of the airplane is shown by v in the equations and is the same speed as seen from the ground or from the airplane. We common people live in something called reality where if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock than an observer on the ground has, he will get a faster speed for the airplane. I can use the correct equations for relativity and get the result that we observe in any experiment than can be devised. The pilot gets a faster speed. What I say about the Dunning-Krugger accusation is that in order for it to be more than a personal accusation, there would need to be someone who can show that the pilot and the observer on the ground get the same speed for the airplane. Where is this person? Not in this discussion. Watch how many atheists answer this post.

@@rbwinn3 The delightful irony of being accused of the Dunning-Kruger effect while simultaneously displaying its hallmarks! It's almost as amusing as a monkey trying to argue that bananas grow on vines. You see, the Dunning-Kruger effect isn't just a personal accusation; it's a well-documented psychological phenomenon where individuals with limited knowledge or competence in a domain overestimate their own ability. Your confident yet flawed critique of Special Relativity fits this concept rather snugly, like a banana in its peel. Special Relativity, confirmed by countless experiments, shows that time dilation is a result of relative motion between observers. The equations you've mentioned are indeed correct, but your interpretation has taken a wrong turn, much like a monkey navigating a human city. Your claim about the pilot's perspective yielding a faster speed misses the fundamental point: both observers agree on the relative speed (v) but perceive time differently due to their relative motion. This isn't a matter of reality being skewed, but rather a fascinating consequence of the fabric of spacetime. As for the Dunning-Kruger effect, it's not about needing someone to prove you wrong; it's about recognizing that your current understanding may not be as robust as you believe. The first step to swinging through the intellectual jungle with ease is acknowledging that you might still have a lot to learn. And regarding atheists responding to your post, science is an open field. It's less about belief and more about evidence and rigorous testing. So, before you accuse others of falling victim to cognitive biases, perhaps take a moment to reflect on the possibility that you, too, might be holding onto a vine of misunderstanding. Best regards!

@@GSC1ark It is wonderful to find someone interested in junior high algebra. Here are the equations Einstein used. x'=(x-vt)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) y'=y z'=z t'=(t-vx/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) inverse equations x = (x' + vt')/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) y = y' z = z' t = (t' + vx'/c^2)/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2) As you can plainly see, if t' is the time of a clock in a flying airplane, v is the4 speed of the airplane, and is the same speed as seen from the ground or from the airplane. But any experiment that can be devised will show, if the pilot of the airplane has a slower clock than an observer on the ground has to time the flight of the airplane, the pilot will get a faster speed for the airplane than the observer on the ground will get. This can be shown using the Galilean transformation equations, the equations used by scientists to describe relativity until 1887, when scientists discarded them. x'=x-vt y'=y z'=z t'=t inverse equations x = x' - (-vt/n')n' y = y' z = z' n = n' n' is the time of the slower clock in the airplane. (-vt/n') is the velocity of the ground relative to the airplane. n = n' shows that the time of the slower clock in the airplane is being used in both frames of reference. vt/n' would be the speed of the airplane and is a faster speed than v, just as we all can observe with regard to any experiment that can be devised. I am certainly gratified that you are awaiting the announcement of a Nobel Prize being given to me, but I think you are going to be disappointed. I think not holding your breath was a wise decision. Here is what the Bible says about it. 2 Thessalonians 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. When all scientists, atheists, educators, politicians, and other people who have weak minds believe something untrue, there is little possibility of finding someone among them who can understand the junior high algebra that shows what actually happens.

“There is a cult of ignorance… and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'” - Isaac Asimov "I don't have a problem with ignorance. We are all ignorant about a variety of subjects we are not currently aware of. The real problem is when that ignorance is wilful, intentional and used as a weapon against anyone who disagrees with you, or anyone who has the nerve to present facts you don't want to accept." - anyone who actually cares about verifiable reality

Well, first of all, I don't know what his argument has to do with atheism anyway. Atheism is not the belief that the Evolutionary Model is true. It's a red herring. Drag you down the rabbit hole of defending evolution, is a way of avoiding any argument for the existence of gods. It works too, because it's tough for people to hear someone mangle the theory in the first place, so off you go down the irrelevant rabbit hole. Simple answer to that is "Yes, I concede that your understanding of Evolution is indeed incorrect. Now, do you have evidence for a god or not?"

You really start to see how little theists think some of these "arguments" out, idk if I can even call them arguments it's more like a connected series of "gotcha" talking points that add up to one big nothing burger lol "Well we don't have hardly any full skeletal fossils of early humans!" Yea, and? What is that line even supposed to be implying? Like, if you go out and find a tooth and only a tooth, that tells you so much! It tells you an animal lived there, it tells you what it ate, it tells you about how big it was, etc etc. Finding a piece of the hip or skull can tell you whether that animal was bipedal or quadrupedal, it tells you how it walked or whether it could climb. Fining a skull fragment can tell you about the size of the brain. It's even more frustrating when they say things like "Oh yea I study so much" Like, really? I get the feeling their idea of "studying" is closer to "furiously googling as many loaded questions with the sole purpose of trying to debunk that thing you don't like" If I google "information about evolution" I'm going to get wildly different results than if I search "reasons evolution is false".

What a mess of factually incorrect statements and complete non-sequiturs. From where did he get his claim of there only being 5 fossils between ape and human? From a creationist, probably. There's a "List of human evolution fossils" Wikipedia page that lists a ton of fossils of various species relating to human evolution, and that isn't even a complete list.
people call him a troll because he is.
What’s the alternative to the Theory of Gravity?
Confirmation bias at its best. I bet he knows nothing about the mechanisms of intelligent design.
I actually think I have this number on the low side, but as I understand it we currently have around 9000 fossils related directly to human evolution. Where he got 5 from I don't know.

I can’t understand how the whole “denial of evolution” based argument is even still a thing since the sequencing of the Human Genome. The Fossil evidence (which was already enormous) - is made almost redundant in the face of the Overwhelming evidence from DNA & Genetics. I mean the Biologist who Headed the Human Genome Project…..is an Evangelical Christian! “Yes, evolution by descent from a common ancestor is clearly true. If there was any lingering doubt about the evidence from the fossil record, the study of DNA provides the strongest possible proof of our relatedness to all other living things.” “The evidence supporting the idea that all living things are descended from a common ancestor is truly overwhelming. I would not necessarily wish that to be so, as a Bible-believing Christian. But it is so. It does not serve faith well to try to deny that.” Francis Collins.
He likes to SPECIALISE in human evolution 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

And it also shows where pigs fit in...
as soon as he said evolutionist, it shows that he never actually did study evolution.
Sigh, we may have a common ansester with a pig. We didnt evolve from pig.
The caller reminds me of a flat earther, they are experts on Gish Gallop too.
Pakicetus is artiodactylian; dogs are canids. Not even in the same mammalian family.
Many Buddhists are atheists. Atheist is not a synonym for being a skeptic, rationalist or understanding evolutionary theory. That is no more a definition for atheism that not having any understanding of evolutionary theory is a synonym for theist, even though that's true for this theist.
Wasnt there a test to transplant genetically modified pig organs for human use. So yeah, pigs are at least somewhat compatable! Thanks ancestors!
What a frustrating person. He didn’t listen to a gd thing y’all said. He just waited to speak 🙄
"I understand how evolution works. Natural selection doesn't account for Abbie Owe Genesis" Sure you do buddy....
The alternative to evolution, is I don't know. This guy knows he gets banned and he doesn't seem to learn why.
For human and primate evolution, everyone check out Gutsick Gibbon! She's a PhD student of Anthropology 🐵
I think he was a troll.

Agreed.
This guy reminds me of my own ego.... I know everything and there's nothing else you can tell me or show me to prove otherwise so i refuse to listen Glad i have some control over my ego though... Or i would be calling shows telling them ... "But i'm not condescending ...." Evolve from pigs? Oh no ! Is he confusing evolution with leveling up ?
What is a troll?
just as the dude assumes every atheist accepts evolution, but they dont know it yet, one assumes hes a troll, he doesnt know it yet q:
You get banned because you’re telling people what they think. That’s being a… This person sounds like he believes that a dinosaur in a museum is a complete one someone dug up. What a fool.
A few more million years?
