having actual conversations in a podcast is so refreshing

I am religious and Christian and really enjoy these conversations. Theses conversations should be open and respected. For me I strongly believe science was used in the creation of the world and there is a purpose for us being here. I’d love to see religious scientists on this podcast because a lot of problems come where religious people oppose the science that is proven, or people believe one contradicts the other. Not the case in my opinion! Really great podcast and interesting!

Mate the amount of christians i still hear saying "the big bang didnt happen theres no proof" or "evolution is a myth" annoys me. (granted that 2nd one is a bit iffy it depends on what you mean by evolution" Whos to say God wasnt the one who caused the big bang. So many christians hear the word science and just stick their head in the sand, which is annoying because if they actually listened they would realise the sciences dont have concrete "proof" that god didnt exist, they just have their own theories on the subject, some of which are fascinating

I really find discussions of science and things related to life in general very interesting and it’s really refreshing to see a podcast talk about fascinating subjects such as these with such genuine curiosity Very intriguing to watch every new episode of the podcast, keep it up guys!

And when the world needed them most…they returned

This was genuinely such an interesting podcast to listen to, def would love more "existential topics" be discussed on here.

i know absolutely nothing about quantum physics but i love listening to you guys talk about it

I grew up Christian and cried the day my dad told me he no longer believed in god and I think it’s because he had lost his faith in something and it broke my heart to know his faith had been broken too

Just watched the episode and I have to say. You guys are truly coming into your own genre and I’m happy to be here for it. The conversation without judgement, the willingness to be educated, and the openness to science and skepticism is fantastic. 👍

i think this is one of the best podcasts i have watched. love the chemistry you all have together as you can have a laugh but also provide different perspectives on various serious topics while also being engaging and entertaining. i learnt a few things from it too. keep it up !! and can't wait for the next episode to come out xx

Best podcast ever!! 🎉🎉 Definitely my personal favourite episode so far I’ve loved these topics!! The way you guys cover some real in depth and serious topics alongside being hilarious and yelling out the odd meme at times is just * *chef’s kiss* *

Can’t not love it when Chris joins in on a podcast😂

this was the best podcast i have ever watched and listened to, having an intellectual conversation is so rare nowadays and it is so refreshing hearing it from youtubers. well done boys, loved it

I love intelligent conversations, meaningful with different opinions and thoughts. LOVE IT well done guys, absolutely my favourite podcast

I love stupid silly podcasts but a podcast discussing such big questions in a digestible way with humour is all I’ve been looking for. Thanks and please never stop

Yall really got me spinning right now. Im so lucky in the way i choose to believe. Its either by confirmation of a belief i came to myself through people i look at positively and when i hear something that can make my stubborn ass believe something new that will usually take eliminate something i believe. Yall have done that, and arthur i do agree with your meaning of life and feel the same. I believe the people who will be affected by you will end up here somehow someway because the way i found it at the perfect time really makes me believe that. ✨️ Thank you for this really, and anyone who is actually genuinely taking all of this in and feeling a sense of relief that you arent alone anymore, wassup fam? I wonder so much if theres other people like me who are truly alone in the world right now or been pushed away by loved ones but feel better knowing other people share these beliefs and want for the truth that may have caused the demonization i feel. Really, i feel very home when i listen to this poscast. And I dont even have a home, so its really nice.

What people mean when they say open minded (when referring to God) is to not limit themselves to only taking material scientific evidence for God as the only way to proof Him. It’s genuinely the same thing as asking him to measure my weight with a ruler. Chris is not genuine, sincere, well versed nor fit to speak on the discussion of God for many gullible children to see. I am not trying to bash him at all, I have however made the exact same mistakes as he is making now so I understand exactly where he and many other people like him are coming from and I can say for a fact that they are not well read enough on the discussion of God to be taken seriously. P.s you are also 100% correct on the topic of being open minded, it’s just not applicable in this case.

This is a lovely conversation. It's interesting that the natural sciences were greatly expanded by a class of British folks who were well educated but only worked one day a week so had a bunch of free time, the clergy of the Church of England.

Loved this and as a christian would love you to bring on a christian physicist or anyone who’s good with answering the questions you’ve brought up, a lot of these questions are super common and there’s so much similarity between science and the bible, but it’s important to know the bible doesn’t claim to be a scientific book, but yeah definitely would be super interesting to get someone well versed in answering these questions about Christianity on the pod

How refreshing to find young KZreadrs with brains!! Good job 👏

As somebody who struggles to conceptualise concepts when I’m disinterested, this whole conversation has shifted my view on scientists and how fascinating the depth of knowledge can be. Chris provided some very interesting perspective and it was so nice to hear about what he thinks beyond his regular football talk

One of my favourite KZreadr podcast episodes of all time. It’s refreshing to see a podcast that isn’t just solving pointless listener problems or reviewing the last sidemen sunday

I have never in 10 years and 3000 hours+ of watching chris and the uk youtube subgroups he's in and around, have such an intellectual conversation, it's a breath of fresh air in this dratted world we live in now Keep having these convos, keep talking and one day we will have answers Keep it all up lads truly brilliant work

faith is simultaneously the easiest and the hardest question you’ll ever be tasked with. the question do you believe is simple because it never changes and it only has 2 possible answers. Yes I believe. Or. No I don’t believe. The reason it’s so difficult is because to have true faith you must believe despite physical proof. God won’t show himself to you because that would be like going into the exam with the answers written on your arm, or keeping a secret cheatsheet. It’s unfortunately supposed to be a taxing choice, because faith is inherently is something you have to follow blindly and have full & complete trust in.

@ekkimittrettanafn2242

I disagree. The only reason religion supposedly doesn’t have any proof is because the people who ask for proof are incredibly close minded when it comes to the criteria of evidence. Which is also why I disagree with Chris’s take on science, he genuinely just doesn’t understand science at all. What I mean by the narrow minded idea of evidence is that when atheists ask for evidence of God, they are only willing to take material evidence for God which is delusional. It’s the same as asking you to check my weight with a ruler. God is metaphysical and thus can’t be proven in a lab. The proof of God lies in the realm of logic which, when used correctly, is a far stronger evidence for things than science (and if you want me to explain that better I can send you a link). Chris doesn’t understand the difference and is incredibly narrow minded and that is a valid criticism cuz he is only looking at the material word through the lenses of our limited, modern technology. His mistake is the same mistake I did when I was atheist and that is to not look into the arguments and proofs of God in a sincere, rational way. He limits himself to the barriers of science and is thus completely useless when it comes to the discussion on God.

Been waiting for this!!

As someone who is very religious and also really interested in science, it was so cool to listen to other people's ideas about how science topics I'm well versed in link to or disprove some religious beliefs. Makes me want to bring these topics up with my own friends

surprisingly insightful podcast lads well doooooneeee love it

So good to hear intellectually stimulating conversations on podcasts with uk KZreadrs, imagine any of the sidemen (except vik and maybe tobi) being able to have a convo about god and the universe even close to this interesting. Imagine the same on the Whats good podcast 😭😭

I was literally having these thoughts about life 3 days ago. Glad I am not the only one.

34:47 I'd argue that learning science actually made me believe in a higher existence. The universe is so vast but at the same time so intricate, makes me believe that there must be some higher power. Also if for example you're talking about schrodinger's cat, what decides the fate of the cat when you open the box? I feel like it is some higher power which decides these things I also would say that it's not the idea of heaven/hell that makes me believe that we should be kind to others, I've recently been through a lot of pain and heartbreak and stress and I wouldn't wish that on anyone, so the least I can do is help people going through it.

loving the science/ universe and religion conversations, my dad is a physics teacher who has got an astronomy degree amoung others, and he believes in God and has even given talks about how science and religion can connect rather than the traditional rigid thinking that religion and science immediately oppose each other. Real interesting stuff.

This is great to watch, nice to see their other side than being funny

Didn’t know they were this introspective 😮. Had to sub.

Finally a KZread podcast that isn’t just would you rathers and regurgitated stories that have already been in videos

Finaaallly a podcast by youtubers I watch who arent talking about mind numbing topics and things they themselves dont really care about but do it because it makes for clicks and views. Keep THIS up! If you havent already (will be checking your previous uploads after this) can you talk about any paranormal expereinces or feeling other energies around you sort of stories, if you have any?

This is great, i dont wanna hear about some random persons relationship or their “crazy” zante trip, this is proper good stuff

Big Brain stuff... love this!

I'm 27 and for the longest time I have been a heavy atheist due to my love for cosmology, physics and everything inbetween. But these days I do think there are definitely benefits to being somewhat spiritual (I'd have laughed at my future self for saying this a few years ago). Wether it be Christianity, Islam or just believing there is a higher power out there, sometimes you can find more fulfilment & guidance in life if you have some sort of spiritually aided mantra you can run with. I do believe that religion is both the best & worst thing for humans. I'd wager the majoirity of truly great people that have existed so far have been spiritual in someway, even Einstein himself was a Christian as you said. And then on the otherhand, Anno Domini religion has been the biggest cause for war & violence since it's inception. Really interesting & thought provoking to delve deep into this topic. Pod is great - much love

Science is just a tool for us to understand this material life better. Religion (ie guidance from Allah) is to guide us on how to live our life, why we are alive, what our purpose is and to understand the unseen (ie things our limited senses can’t sense). Science and religion are definitely not mutually exclusive like many people try to make it look like. If anything, science has actually enhanced our understanding of Allah through his creation and even helped us understand His Words (ie Quran). I was probably an even more hardcore atheist than you before so if it means anything to you, my experience with finding God has changed my life infinitely. I genuinely hope you find what you’re looking for and if you are interested in learning about Islam I can give you my contact information no problem. Good luck brother/sister.

Loved this debate lads. I’m a Christian and I personally think that science proves the existence of God, not disproves it. Would love for you to look into bringing a Christian on the Pod, who is knowledgeable of science, and have a similarly respectful debate. I know a lot of Christian’s who were atheist but became Christian because the science they found brought them to that conclusion.

Nonetheless super interesting to hear an actual intellectual podcast and, although some points I didn't agree with, I think sharing these things and exploring other people's thoughts is far better than shutting them down. Keep up the great work guys.

This was 10/10

best ep yet tbh

ok so this episode gave me an existential crisis, BUT I love these guys and got through it. I was also going to be like "theory actually means proved hypothesis" but Arthur mentioned that - so interesting given I studied philosophy of science and made so many arguments between religion and science throughout university. It's cool listening to people that are actually really intellectual

listening to this intelligent podcast and then seeing some of the content other people put out is such a contrast hahah, really enjoyed this though

as a religious person, its fascinating hearing about science and looking at the world through a different lens. naturally anyone questions what they grew up with- like i constantly think to myself am i religious because thats what i grew up surrounded with, or had i been born in a non religious family would i then have found religion and believed it then?? super mind bending, but i also think that science and religion arent mutually exclusive. science gives the theories and physical evidence/proof, whilst religion kind of gives the ambiguity behind those scientific theories a purpose.

A podcast about the meat industry and vegetarianism/veganism would be so interesting! Relating to like positive and negatives on the environment?

loved this .im christian and this was so interesting to watch. I went through a lot of religious trauma and i used to hate God or the idea of there being a God because why would he let that happen to me? but i learned to separate those people that traumatized me from the God they claimed to serve. Because although God knows all things, he still gave us free will and he will not come where he is not welcome. So the people that hurt me, chose to hurt me with their own human will, they didnt do it 'cause of God. And dont get me wrong, i have been through a lot and i still have LOADS of questions but i know that the same God i once hated is the reason i'm still here today. and the bible has been re written so many times by different people. i just focus on my own personal relationship with God and i believe that everyone should believe and practice whatever brings them peace and joy and people who are religious like me should stop picking and chosing what sins they want to condemn and just spread love and stop forcing things on people. i also believe that bad things have to happen because without bad, you cannot appreciate the good. love to everyone

you guys definitely need someone religious on the pod to explain their religious beliefs as it would be so interesting!! i was taught more about religion and therefore different branches in religions e.g in christianity. for example- i don’t think it was quite discussed in the pod that there are branches of christians that believe god played a big part in the big bang taking place. there are many christians who believe this, and there are significant religious individuals who were christians that believed in the big bang because the bible (especially the creation of the word in Genesis) can be interpreted differently, literally or metaphorically. love the pod both, i look forward to every episode 🫶

I think it's so interesting to look at the trend of religious scientists throughout history (and, as is my personal interest, astronomers and astrophysicists). As Bach mentioned, Einstein believed in God and also gave us so many insights into physics. But also, Copernicus (the guy who proposed the mathematical expression of the heliocentric model of the solar system) was a Catholic canon. The intersection of science and faith is something that I (a Christian scientist) find really cool, and it's often overlooked due to the misunderstanding that they are mutually exclusive. I really appreciate seeing people discuss these topics in a healthy and open way, so thanks boys!!

prior to watching this I’ve only really been a Christian because my dad was and told me to be but after this I’m going to actually look into everything myself and dive deeper into science and Christianity and explore it and find my own belief
