It is astonishing how the minds of great thinkers can be duped by (what we must take to be) their emotional attachment to the idea of "God" and/or their presupposition that "God" exists. Swinburne is a good example. The first proposition you quote from him - assuming it to be correct - tells us what "God" WANTS. How can he possibly know that without first having demonstrated the existence of this "God"? He thus assumes that "God" exists from the outset AND that he (Swinburne) knows what is in the mind of this "God". Additional presuppositions are that this "God" has a mind, has desires and intentions. In the second proposition, he imposes (what we must take to be) his own ideas of beauty and ugliness AND assumes that the world is both/either beautiful and/or ugly. It could, in fact, be neither; it depends on the eye of the beholder. Therefore, looking for an "inherent reason" for something you, yourself, have assumed to be the case is flawed thinking. This is bad philosophy. It will only persuade those who make the same presuppositions and have similar ideas of "God" and "beauty" to Swinburne.

We don’t need continual decades of essays and calculations and philosophy to just STOP. To look around us and see that literally the perfection of everything isn’t created by nothing. The sun and how its always at the same speed every day at the right distance to us, and how the night and day are the right lengths with an earth full of plants and fruits and animals which we ride, drink pure milk from (which comes between blood and other insides), how we can ride boats and everything. And if you still want raw calculations then the absolute right level of gravity etc. Like before throwing the “this is the xyz argument, u are using old arguments” and just labelling and shoving it aside: sometimes u gotta step away from the calculators and just stop and ponder. Make fun of this all you like, anyone who tries to argue this is out of his mind in all honesty.

That is not an unreasonable interpretation, but it could be wrong, and what you have written here suggests that I WAS wrong. Are you, in fact, a believer in the existence of some kind of "God"? In more general terms, I engaged with the video as if it were indeed presenting the arguments impartially, as my comment elsewhere demonstrates. As to the channel's content, I make no judgement. I believe this is the first of their videos I have ever watched. I shall be interested to see with what force they present the opposing arguments, if/when they do.

@@Nai61a well on that level they are no more nor any less convincing than the philosophical story tellers who try ever so hard ( too hard really ) to shatter belief in God to those who do believe . They should hope they are right because after they depart this world they will have some explanations to offer but to no avail . No , this isn’t an argument nor any basis to believe , meaning if one doesn’t than they will be damned so they at least should . Not at all . However living life in the certain mold we think that God “ theoretically “ would intend is just as fulfilling for oneself even if he doesn’t exist . To live like their is no God is simply to be bound and beholden to nothing . That position is very convenient for those that try and justify their misdeeds on Earth because ultimately they are nihilists and nihilism , at least in my humble opinion, is rather drab and depressing . It’s no wonder how many of them wander off into the abyss and commit suicide. I’d much rather at least try to visualize this God and pray that he does indeed have plans for us - even if he doesn’t . But hey there is only one way to find out . Right ? I guess we will both find out.

I love this one so much.

The argument from beauty is idiotic. If you look at any person, the odds that they would exist given their name, demographics, family, education ect. is essentially zero. Yet, there are over 7 billion unique people on the planet. Saying something is very unlikely is not the same as saying it can't happen. Rare things DO happen, rarely.

Plus beauty is subjective. What one considers beauty could be anathema to another. For example, I might find beauty in martial arts, whereas another might find senseless violence.

the irony that you literally just made the argument for beauty, you just don't understand philosophy. you're own argument that the chances are so low, but it still happened, not once but billions upon billions of times is the argument in itself. random chance doesn't happen over and over again in the same place, that leads to deliberate action.

there are only 94 natural elements. the other 24 are synthetic. also, no currently practiced religion has ever had "destruction of knowledge" as a religious declaration by god. You're probably trying to refer to the "dark ages" which never happened. you are just uneducated on the actual history of the world and have bought into propaganda. Galileo was not punished for trying to spread the heliocentric model, he was exiled for talking shit about the pope. Copernicus had developed the heliocentric model and it had been widely accepted by the state and the church more than 50 years before Galileo was even born.

The so called arguments are all logically unsound and none of them even get close to a god
