This atheist, and scientist explains why he came to the realization why there has to be a loving God! [Spirituality & Religion]

Are you still doubting? Please watch the video before you answer. How would you answer the questions that he asked himself if there is no God?

Is this guy serious? He must understand that ‘fine-tuning’ isn’t very finely tuned after all. He’s actually just saying ‘if things weren’t like they are, then they would be different’.

Really? Wow, that’s about as deep and meaningful as a newspaper horoscope .

Worse, he talks as if the purpose of the universe is... us.

Anthropocentric hubris seems to know no bounds.

Then he tries to sell us Occam’s Razor (notice he’s uncomfortable with his own sophistry at that point). Why is his personal belief in a magical entity the simplest explanation? There’s no explanation of where the magical came from, the magical entity would have to be more complex than the universe it created, and if it existed outside of spacetime then it would be unable to have any effect whatsoever on that universe.

He wants us to think of that as the [i]simplest[/i] pseudo-explanation. Joke!

For the Big Bang he talks about 'something came out of nothing’. Nonsense. We know that something began to expand, thereby introducing spacetime (it’s therefore meaningless to talk about ‘before’ the Big Bang). He must be aware of this... I realise he’s not in any way a physicist, butt come on, he’s an educated adult, and this is basic stuff!

Putting aside his sophistry, most of this video consists of this chap taking about his own belief, spirituality, and such’.

Trivial pap.

@newjaninev2 Yes, indeed, something did come out of nothing. You also came out of nothing into the universe didn't you. Or were you a physical incarnation of another matter based substance. My "pseudo-explanations" are not pseudo at all, since they are based on logic and the laws of physics.

AlexPett · 26-30, M

@newjaninev2 Something does not have to be a part of something in order to have an impact on it. Black holes have their own pull that - logically speaking - have an impact on planetary and celestial placements. However, they are not essentially a part of our universe or matter based existence.

newjaninev2 · 56-60, F

@AlexPett Black holes are not a part of the universe? Umm, you’re going to have to make that claim a bit clearer

AlexPett · 26-30, M

@newjaninev2 yep! they are not a part of this universe. Anti matter? ever heard of that?

AlexPett · 26-30, M

@newjaninev2 be humble! humans know nothing yet

@MalteseFalconPunch save yourselves from submission. Save yourselves from not being arrogant. Saves yourselves from not being complacent.

Bushranger · 70-79, M

@newjaninev2 This is going to be good.

AlexPett · 26-30, M

@MalteseFalconPunch your brain is just an arrogant piece of flesh telling you that you have the answers to a universe you have only seen through the eyes of space satellites. What a joke

@AlexPett [quote]Yes, indeed, something did came out of nothing[/quote]

All we know is that something began to expand. That’s as far as the evidence allows us to go.

Or are you saying that nothing began to expand?

[quote]You also came out of nothing into the universe didn't you[/quote]

No, I didn’t. I’m the product of a process of genetic replication... as is every organism on the planet (most of which are bacteria).

Or were you a physical incarnation of another matter based substance.

‘Explanations’ involving magical entities explain nothing... not even the magical entity on which the explanation is based. Such explanations try to merely explain everything away

@newjaninev2 you'll understand things better if you view the concepts of "existence" and the "known universe" separately

AlexPett · 26-30, M

@newjaninev2 something must exist first in order to expand. Your rhetoric is going nowhere. Something existed when nothing else did. Then that "led" to the expansion of the existing universe into the realm of non-existence.

Bushranger · 70-79, M

@AlexPett So we exist out of the "known universe"? Interesting concept to say the least.

@newjaninev2 This seems like weed or lsd.

AlexPett · 26-30, M

@newjaninev2 genetic replication does not explain anything except the fact that is gives you a "possible" chain as to how humans formed. Since it is merely a possibility, there are other possibilities as well. Your genetic replication argument is inherently flawed because it can NEVER explain the hypothesis (not theory) within an observable time frame. Your argument is flawed and driven by institutionalized forces of science.

Bushranger · 70-79, M

@canusernamebemyusername Perhaps mescaline?

AlexPett · 26-30, M

@Bushranger yeah.

AlexPett · 26-30, M

@Bushranger hahahaha... that did make me laugh.

Bushranger · 70-79, M

And there's the conspiracy theory. Thought one would show up eventually.

AlexPett · 26-30, M

@canusernamebemyusername hahahahahahahaha. good one! have to admit

canusernamebemyusername · M

@Bushranger I am the Arahant that is beyond kalpa.

@AlexPett [quote]Anti matter? ever heard of that?[/quote]

Oh, I’ve heard it mentioned here and there.

Most of it was annihilated with seconds of the beginning of expansion. However found 1 anti-matter particle in a billion survived

Or, that’s what I’ve heard... 😀

newjaninev2 · 56-60, F

@AlexPett [quote]if you view the concepts of "existence" and the "known universe” separately[/quote]

That’s why I asked you to specify your referent in the first place.

AlexPett · 26-30, M

@newjaninev2 If that 1 anti matter particle survived within that universe, that is very much possible. But if you pay attention, I am not talking about this universe. I am talking about black holes.
