If I accused God of Murder and the district attorney filed the charge based on the hearsay evidence, "the bible" As no one would show, and the trial went forth in absentia, HE would be overwhelmingly acquitted based on the inability of anyone to actually place him at the scene or any other circumstantial or physical evidence. Yet as Christians, your guidebook constantly accuses him of this and many other crimes. Maybe you need to use Charles Manson as your figurehead, he has stated he is indeed a deity and proof of his crimes has been given... Then the term Christian can finally be changed to "Charlatans"

An all-knowing, all-powerful, all-benevolent god that desires for me to be in heaven would know precisely what evidence I would require to be convinced a god exists. It would know what would convince me at every moment of my life, from birth to death. And all of those things would be true for every person in the world. And yet, none of us have any evidence.

What a brilliant video. I wish I had all the time in the world to watch this show all the time. The research i've done and time i've spent on Agnosticism/Atheism have helped me become so much more learned educated on the world around us. Go us!

Since you're so in love with it, I went and did some reading up on the 'argument from fine tuning'. Turns out it has already been refuted. As Matt himself would probably advise you, go to talk origins, educate yourself a little, and stop acting as though your argument is irrefutable. Actual experts (i.e. not creationists) have already done the refuting.

Could God not have sorted this guy's phone line? I'd take that as a minor miracle.

this idea that anyone could even give a definition of a god as to say - 'this is what to look for' is nonsense in of itself. because that person, if they're being honest w/themselves, has never observed the very thing they are defining. and personal experience or revelation is not proof for anyone else.

I don't really see the point in writing "god" with a capital "g". Why would I recognize the word "god" as something that has to be emphasized. It's just a word that has no value. Maybe it's nitpicking but I think when we type God, we sort of acknowledge his importance. God isn't even a name. And people are used to capitalizing certain words in midsentece to which they asign importance to. Well, I won't any longer. The word god is the same as the word spoon. And we all know ... there is no spoon.

Like Tracie said, it depends on the claim. Well, for example, if you are talking about the god that is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent; and who is the one supreme god, then that god has a lot of proving to do. He or she must manifest in a physical form, and must cause all religions in the world (Buddhists, Taoists, Shamans, Muslims, Christians, Bahai, Hindu) to all become aligned to one world religion. He or she must provide a complete, comprehensive, concise and coherent manuscript in all languages of the world. There must be repeatable and observable evidence of that being. For example, every time that someone "prays" as that manuscript specifies, then the 'prayer" must be fulfilled, no matter how fantastic.

How is it sad to care about whether your beliefs are true? I think it's important to care about having the most possible true beliefs, and the least possible false ones.

I personally don't think anything would be able to prove God for me, even if the big guy himself came down and knocked by roof out and said. : I AM GOD! Because really anything or any god would be able to do so, it could just as likely be Zeus or pan trying to mess with me. I could be the Gnomes living in my pinky that desire to make a prank with me, If you could prove God, you can prove anything else, as nothing is impossible for God, and thus everything could also be the truth if God could exist.

He's not answered that prayer unless that answer is "No". If he's not doing anything to convince me then maybe he doesn't want me to know (at the least for now) 3.

The "something from nothing" argument is nonsensical to me. Nothing can come from nothing. If there was ever nothing in the universe, there would still be nothing. The problem is that there is no such thing as nothing. The universe is filled with energy and energy cannot be destroyed, it can only change forms. Einstein proved that mass and light are simply different manifestations of energy. Even empty space ( devoid of matter) still has an energy value and matter and anti - matter particles popping in and out of existence. Perhaps the creation of universes is just natural stages of the transformation of the energy within space?

+Grateful Apostate Actually if you study very recent discoveries in physics, there is growing evidence that empty space is quantum mechanically unstable. This can result in an inflationary universe, or a multiplicity of inflationary universes, of which ours is one. One of the principle theorists exploring this is Lawrence Krauss, who travels the world lecturing on this topic. The idea that nothing can come from nothing is a restatement of Aristotle's causality arguments. Quantum mechanics has shown that this is not the case. Uncaused quantum mechanical events happen all the time. Particles come into and out of existence continuously, with no cause. Moreover it has been demonstrated that there is no 'hidden' cause for this. It is a property of quantum mechanics, the deepest physics we know.

"What kind of evidence would prove god" Well after many years of thought on this and learning much more than when I first heard it..I think my answer has changed. The main demonstrable piece of proof would first have to be independent of human thought and origins.

Im with Coy... scat would do it.... Really shiny god scat... Bring it!!!

You know what would be kinda neat is if they used visuals for some stuff but that would mean not going live maybe doing some sort of tiny educational sections that help illustrate some things like show the lineup of fossils or other things scientific these small commercial type clips could slowly inform as ell as spread knowledge because it seems to me that many of these Christians aren't looking for this information so to them it doest exist.

Proving God's existence requires too much gymnastics and contortion. If he exist, he surely don't want us to know. What other explanation accounts for this?

My children love me...generally behave and do as I tell them. I don't hide . They know I am their father. What's the bullshit about a god who is the hide & seek champion of the universe?

The very fact that a question like : "what kind of evidence it would take for non-believers to believe in God?" ... needs to be asked is absolute PROOF that there is NO God.

Needing to ask that question beyond the age of believing in Santa Claus suggests you may never understand.

In order to be considered evidence for a god, the existence or intervention of a god has to be the most sensible explanation possible. That's why I don't think that any evidence will convince me that a god exists, because the idea of a god seems so ludicrous, so unbelievable and alien to me, that it is the least sensible explanation possible. No matter what the scenario is, every other explanation (Even no explanation!) makes far more sense than the existence or intervention of a god.

My favorite call so far. He is open and willing to learn the concepts of causation and reasoning and actually wants to understand instead of making claims.

Understand this: assuming all is caused and bound by the laws of the universe, there is no "chance" in the sense that something may or may not happen. Chance under this context is only meaningful in describing how reality is understood by a consciousness instead of reality itself. For example, when the weatherman says "There is a chance that it might rain tomorrow", what he is really saying is "I don't know for sure that will or will not rain tomorrow, but I cannot definitely say it won't."

I didn't say the book enslaves you, I said you enslave yourself. As living beings we learn from the experiences of life. When fire burns us, we learn not to stick our hands in it. The bible however gives alternate explanations to life's lessons, warping the perceptions of believers from reality. Instead of having a mind free to learn from life, you accept ideas from the bible/holy men that corrupts the normal process of learning. Constraining your thoughts enslaves you to another's will.

Iron Chariots also gives a very thorough debunking of your claims.

Regarding god’s second coming. Atheists should be proud of 2000 years of being right.

The reply to this is "depends on which God".

Proving that God exists is a very popular pastime and many people make a living doing it. For thousands of years people have been trying to prove their particular god exists. But the fact that we are still trying proves one thing for sure. Nobody can demonstrate that any god exists.

Too right mate!

First step for proving god, is defining what a god is.

That's basically consistent with the definition I proposed. Just that the absence of any existence, absence of controlling rules, forces, etc., implies the freedom for anything to happen, for any rules, conditions, etc. to exist. If you want to say (in your definition of nothing) there are no possibilities allowed either, I'd say it's a contradiction in terms, since possibilities are simply counterfactual states of affairs that will always 'exist'.

Hay Matt, your doing a great job for Jahovah, keep up the great work.

'nothing' is 'nothing' is not an answer. What is 'nothing'?

Part 2 - A straight flush seems rare while a mixed hand doesn't, but the odds of getting it are exactly the same - it's just that we see the straight flush as a valuable outcome. Besides the fact that this universe may not be anything special, we simply don't know how likely is is to be as it is. Hawking hypothesizes that perhaps it could not have formed differently, others hypothesize multiverses. However you slice it, it does not come close to adding up to evidence for god.

On the contrary, I try and investigate any argument presented to me ad objectively as possible. One of the reasons I was reluctant to state a position on your argument was because I was not altogether familiar with it. Now I am, and an extremely short search will turn up many reasons why it does not favour design. Seriously, go look it up. I'm not here to waste my time providing you with the education you are clearly missing.

1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause. 2. The universe began to exist. 3. Therefore, the universe has a cause. this cause must be an uncaused, changeless, timeless, and immaterial being which created the universe. It must be uncaused because we've seen that there cannot be an infinite regress of causes. It must be timeless and therefore changeless-at least without the universe-because it created time.Because it also created space, it must transcend space as well and therefore be immaterial

5:34 Here we go... the argument that the universe beginning from nothing is proof that miracles occur, therefore god.

Again, there is no argument to refute. The fine tuning argument, as I keep explaining to you, is not evidence for god. I can explain this to you as many times as required.

Please explain in detail why: a) A natural explanation for a phenomenon, has been superseded. b) That we are not able to learn about the natural world from evidence in it. c) There is not consistency in the causes in the natural world? I ask because there are very good reasons for making each of these assumptions and I'd like to hear why you reject them? And I'd like to hear what you would replace these assumptions with.

stephen colbert: "why is there something instead of nothing? 10 words or less!" neil de grasse tyson: "words that make questions may not be questions at all."

The position of the water molecule. Within a cup of water, the water molecules are arranged in a specific order. And you can calculate the probability of that arrangement of water molecules, which is what statistical thermodynamics talks of. In simple terms, you have a grid, that is 3 by 3 squares, totalling 9 squares. The probability of randomly placing a single object in the first cube on the top left corner, is 1 in 9. Thats what i mean by probability of a water molecule within a system.

Stating infinite regression cannot be doesn't legitimize contradicting premises. Also, if you assume a being can be uncaused, changless, timeless, and immaterial in order to resolve the infinite regression, there is no reason why you cannot assume the same for what is seemingly caused, changing, and material. In short, it is self-deconstructing.

I'm watching this in Aug 2018, isn't that weird.

A virtual particle is not a particle at all. It refers precisely to a disturbance in a field that is not a particle. A particle is a nice, regular ripple in a field, one that can travel smoothly and effortlessly through space, like a clear tone of a bell moving through the air.
