@@N8BALLSACK Indeed, it's not correct at all to say "that which isn't proven wrong must neccesarily be right" science proper doesn't work that way at all, hence the Black swan fallacy and how it tells us that falsifiability is important to any serious claim and that knowledge constantly change as it grows. I.e. '' In order to prove something, one MUST provide Evidence, '' The question is : How would you define what truth is? Truth is typically defined as “that which is concordant with reality”. If we don’t know whether it is concordant with reality, then we don’t know whether it is truth, and we should be honest about that. We should not assert as fact that which is not evidently true, because that is dishonest. Logically then, truth is whatever statement can be *shown to be true. The truth is what the facts are because the facts can be objectively verified. There are many facts that we know and can show to be true of evolution, for example, but there is not one fact that is positively indicative of or exclusively concordant with gods or magic or mythology. So when you ask religious believers to show the truth of their religious belief, they can’t, because there’s literally no truth in it. .. *Demonstrated to be concordant with reality through tests under controlled conditions aswell as with using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Truth statements in and off themselves aren't enough to establish what is true.

Respond to those statements with the HUNDREDS of transitional fossils, and the accurate definition of a theory in regards to science, and they just kinda fall away.

Ultimately they realise that in order to maintain their beliefs it necessitates rejection of certain facts of reality on which modern society has been built upon. I don’t care what personal beliefs a person may wish to hold as long as it is not harmful BUT I do object to when they attempt to impose their values on others with no valid justification except for the belief that it is what their holy book dictates. My other major grievance is their attempts to undermine science and deny children access to the centuries of hard won knowledge humans have granted us. This has significant and potentially dire consequences. The dangers of this mentality has been clearly demonstrated during the current COVID-19 crisis, especially in the US where large groups of the population seem unable to differentiate between information they get from social media and advice from global health experts (often because they don’t actually understand the rationale and foundational principles it is based upon).

Well, the idiotic and religious politicians in my state blocked that extract from being sold in my state because they thought it didn't agree with their holy book of fiction. She had to drive to another state to get it so she could help her daughter, making it even harder on their family. They finally started allowing it in my state, but i wonder how many people had to suffer through seizures, how many accidents happened because of those seizures and how many people did not have to suffer while they were suffering.

The only way to win is not to play. But _I'm_ the easy mark. The projection would be laughable if it weren't coming from a sixty-year old man who is otherwise intelligent.

I believe in Aron Ra! (Ah-Run-Rah) ;0)

You're good Aron, thanks for your brilliance.

How could it be possible for someone to be so intelligent and knowledgeable. It I could have one wish it would be to relive my life over as an atheist. I'm 75 and became atheist early on, but the effects of that brutal cult stay with me to this day.

Watching this while my fellow Americans threaten civil war over a demougouge who used prejudice and religion to manipulate them to ignore everything that goes against what he says.

Shouldn't it be "assertion" not "insertion"?

The assertion of insertion is assertable. Or not.

AronRa is great! Love him!

So long as they keep their beliefs to themselves, many (not all) religious people are genuine and lovely to talk to, but not one of them is honest when it comes to their beliefs, not one.

To have a flood that would completely submerge the ENTIRE world under water I would expect would require more water than actually exists on the planet. It's a point that seems so obvious (on the surface at least.... pardon the pun) I would have expected to have heard someone mention it by now. And although someone likely has.... I've not heard it. Regardless, it would be a very easy thing to calculate I'd imagine.

It would be theoretically possible, I think. Indeed without plate tectonics, I imagine all the continents would eventually be eroded down to a level-ish undersea plain, leaving a continuous hydrosphere over the whole earth. A sort of fishy heaven :-)

Well did you account for the water which is in the earth. But still it would not be possible anyway. There are so many reasons we know there was no such flood !

Aron- Ra is proof that you can be an emo long haired motor-cycle riding atheist who looks like a demon worshiping satanist and still be an extremely intelligent, decent and amazing person!

I don't know the age of your audience, but sometimes I worry that you might be speaking over their heads sometimes when you get on a science-roll.

It’s crazy how these ideas become so engraved in your mind. Even though I feel better turning away from all of that, some things still hang over me and scare me to this day. It’s all corrupt and toxic. I was so far away from reality ha ha.

The term "apologetics" is an unexpected fluorescence of honesty. They admit their "evidence" is subgrade.

I wish you had the Q&A for this available.

+Aronra I'm looking forward to you doing that video on how all the different sciences debunk Noah's Flood.

Dear AronRa, within the last decade or so, there has been tremendous progress in understanding the origin of life as well. I would recommend the books of Nick Lane for an excellent overview of the topic.

Very good presentation.

Just a clarification, while the West Semitic alphabet did replace the cuneiform of Mesopotamia, there was no break in the writing system due to a regional flood, or fall of empires, it continued and developed for another 2 millenniia beyond Gilgamesh's supposed time, gradually being replaced (circa 3rd-1st century b.c.e.) by Aramaic-based alphabet derived from earlier west Semitic scripts,tespecially with the rise of Aramaic (Syrian) as a lingua franca. A different Cunieform was also used to write Old Persian, and it was also replaced by an Aramaic derived alphabet script to write Middle Persian.

It's great the theist's are attending. Speaking to other atheists motivates action, and the theists get to listen to the logic behind our reasoning (the very thing their faith lacks). Perhaps they came to understand our arguments to improve theirs. I took this approach when I was a Christian, but it turned out to be my road to atheism.

I'm eager to watch Aron's video disproving the Flood.

He deals more with biology. Check out WildwoodClaire1 for refutations of creation and flood geology. She's an ex-professional geologist. Sadly more or less stopped making videos.
