PragerFU: Does God Exist? 4 New Arguments, Part II
First off, let me apologize. I was going to get these up by Newtonmas, but 2020 had to end like the rest of the year — awfully. I ended up having to get a new computer. Migrating was difficult as this new technology (Apple Silicon) isn't quite ready for primetime, and I had to figure out a whole bunch of workarounds. Then, that computer turned into a brick and I had to send it back. D'oh!!! Which meant I had to set up another new computer and figure out everything all over again. Grrrr!
But I know you've been waiting all month for part two of this one-part series. I had a lot of fun with this one. I hope you'll agree.
Thanks so much for all your help. I couldn't have gotten that new computer without you. And then where would we all be? Huh? 2020 would be even worse. I couldn't let that happen.
Happy New Year, gang! And enjoy! I command it! B

"Everything has a brain"?? He's obviously never met Louie Gohmert. Excellent episode, BB. Just watched 5 in a row and this one was the best (and that's saying a lot). Home run! #rimshot
OMG!!!! I L'dOL!!!! Louie is an absolute moron. Had to be from Texas or Florida.
Glad you pointed out that bacteria don’t actually have brains or nervous systems. 👍
Right?!!! It really shows how sloppy they are with their content. Easily checked. WTF?!!!
I’ve actually been using that with some people. And I do it in a very Socratic way, leading them to their own conclusion/awareness. “Would you say that as a species, we’ve learned a lot about the way things are and the way things work, of which we were previously entirely ignorant?” They say yes. “And it’s a lot of stuff when you really think about it, right?” Yes. “Of all those things we’ve learned, how often have we come to the conclusion that magic or a god is the best explanation?”
And the last minute or so of this video was excellent. "Magic has never been the explanation for anything."
That’s another great point! And I think you’ve nailed why — unless it satisfies OUR wants and desires, unless things are the way WE’D like them to be, we’ll keep looking for the “right” answer. Such a good question though.
Something very basic I don't understand about the great "Why" question Frank asks is: Why isn't "because" a good enough answer for the great existential question? Seems to me that "because" would be good enough for most rank and file humans. We suspect (I'm guessing) that the people pushing the idea that there has to be a more "satisfying" answer than just "because" because... well... GOD... are the Joel Osteen, Dennis Prager, and Russell Nelson types.
Yes. But then I don't get to make my MAGA joke. 😉
We aren't more evolved that other apes, we are no more evolved that any life on earth. We have evolved to the point of the environment we live in just as everything else here
Good Gaia Almighty… I can't even with Frank's frankly ignorant arguments. Y'mean… y'mean… there are things we don't know? YET? Oh, well… then there's an invisible sky-daddy who did them, right? And where did HE come from, Frank? Wha…? You don't KNOW?
OMG!!! That's awesome. I have to use that in my debating with people. That's so perfect!
