The God Conclusion: God, heaven and souls exist
August 30, 2011 at 4:56 pm
I believe I have found a way for God to exist compatible with atheism and scientific fact, please view my video to hear my argument, I am very interested to hear responses since I believe this to be very early pre-emption of the last dying breath of the God delusion on my behalf so it is in that sense useful to encounter it

Why the fucking alien?
And no, it's not conclusive evidence or coherent thought. Good try, though.

Honestly, I got through a minute of it ( the whole monotone talking head thing reminded me of a republican convention combined with a third rate high-school play) and can safely say that none of the first minute made the least bit of sense.
Sorry...but you did ask.

I feel that your explanation of the soul is your emotional interpretation of the self. It is an unnecessary component you've added to your perception of the human body that sounds more like emotional pleading than objective observation.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

The concept of God or gods can never be compatible with atheism, unless you change the definition of a deity until it no longer means "god", so then which case, why call it god?

Wow, the need to prove that your god exists has become such a problem that even atheists are taking to it??!??
I don't understand at all.
I mean I get that you want to believe in a god, everyone knows I'm fine with that. But what is this bizarre need for everyone to go around proving that their god exists???!??
Why can't it be enough that you just believe and that's that. Why does EVERYONE have to go around trying to 'prove' his existence.
Furthermore, how many people say, "I don't care what you believe", but than proceed to attempt to prove their god to you. I say they clearly DO care what you believe and not only want you to believe it but NEED you to in order to validate their own ideas.
People suck.

Throughout the video, he goes on and on about consciousness and how we cannot really explain it other that the electro-chemical process occuring in the brain. He then goes on to say that that must mean we are eternal.
What...?
Theat conclusion does not follow from your premises, it is just an answer on a whim to explain the unknown, just like God.
This has no evidence. As a matter of fact it relies on the fact that there isn't any evidence for it because then there would be no need to make things up. We haven't found anything like a soul in the human body. Why put your faith in something so obviously impossible to prove?
That just make you another fool.
Articulate your argument better and try again, then time with some feeling. It was hard to hear you and sad to say it was really boring.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
Man, in so far as he is not subject to natural forces, is free to work out his own destiny. The responsibility is his, and so is the opportunity.

I think your comments stung him. The video is now gone.
