i spend hours trawling through the internet trying to find the latest proof of a deity
fortunately i found the perfect video that apparently has the proof we've been looking for
i'm excited to be shown the way
hello i'm the skeptic i watch videos on youtube that make extraordinary claims
whether that's flat earth or strange conspiracies but mostly the claim that a god is real and then
explain why i can't accept their position before we get into today's video please do
subscribe hit that bell notification to be alerted for my next video and drop a like
that would be fantastic in this god squad video an american muslim is a lady that has proof of a god
as a relative newcomer to the tubes like myself with under 400 subscribers
i thought i'd give her video a chance before even starting the video i noticed the dislikes on there
and assumed that her proof was so outstanding that atheists had disliked it because they finally had
a claim they couldn't reject but then in this day and age assuming can make an ass out of you and me
peace and blessings be upon you i hope you have been well do we have proof that god
exists i thought that's why you made the video is our proof good enough yes god does exist
i don't think that just saying it is proof if that was the case so many things would exist
terry pratchett's anthropomorphic personifications would confirm that with the bogeyman ladyluck and
the hogfather not to mention the imaginings of the eater of socks i know that the bold claim and
of course this is a huge topic that i will not be able to tackle in a video less than 10 hours
so is this shorter video not actually proof that god exists but merely a video saying that one day
there will be a 10 hour video to prove god what on earth would take 10 hours to explain the simple
thing that hit me the other day is look we believe in gravity right it's all around us i don't think
you can say you believe in gravity i think it's more accurate to say you can observe the effects
of the force we call gravity there's no need for belief when a force is observable gravity just
is reliably it's there that thing that makes you fall over when you're drunk and lose your footing
gravity whether we want to deny it or not gravity exists if for instance i take i don't know
this cream here and i say to this cream you will stay up when i drop you
it's not gonna work it's great you don't deny gravity but i think i see where this is going
though was anyone else concerned that the cream jar didn't make a noise when it fell did it ever
hit the ground is it still falling i cannot bend gravity to my will it is a force all around us
that controls our lives we can't see it because we're human beings and that's the first thing
along your road to believing in god well that description wasn't completely accurate but also
gravity isn't supposed to be a thing you can see gravity is the word we use to describe the force
of an object of mass pulling a smaller object of mass towards it though even that description was
very basic and should in no means be used in teaching you have to understand how limited we
are in our perception limited in our perception of seeing that things fall because of a force what i
mean even animals perceive things that we cannot as human beings like what and we always think of
ourselves as like greater than them or you know they don't have as much brain power as we do
that's up for debate surely it depends on what the situation is a squirrel is much better at climbing
trees than humans dogs are better at digesting raw meat than humans dolphins are better swimmers than
humans i failed to see the point here but we don't have as much instinct as they do either
right don't we what instinct exactly some bird's instinct is to fly south when the weather gets
colder that's not something i've planned on doing before or do you mean like the human instinct of
sympathy this has me thoroughly confused for example and i found this so fascinating i
wanted to share it with you mosquitoes follow the scent of exhaled carbon dioxide to find
their next blood meal moths can hear ultrasonic calls of echo locating bats elephants communicate
over long distances with infrasonic sounds many birds like the zebra finch can see extra colors
arctic reindeer can see ultraviolet light to spot their their next meal and avoid predators
some species of snake can see heat forming a kind of
thermal image of prey sharks detect electric fields generated by muscle contractions in prey
sea turtles can sense earth's magnetic field helping them navigate and humans have harnessed
wireless technology that can't be seen so what and so many more that it would make this video
ridiculously long are we getting to the proof yet which i'm going to assume is just going to be you
can't see those things so because you can't see a god it doesn't mean it's not there think about
yourself in this context you only have your five senses and we can't do anything as cool as some
of those animals and some of those animals can't do things as cool as humans can so the idea that
we believe in gravity though we can't see it right we see we observe its effects which technically
doesn't mean that we believe it but we've already established that it's a force that affects
us that we can't really negotiate with right we can um manipulate it once we understand it
but we can't really physically hold gravity i'm never gonna hold gravity right you can't hold
gravity because it's a word used to describe a force much like the word love something else
you can't physically touch but you can see the effect of or happiness you can't touch sadness
but you can observe when things make you sad i'm just preparing for you can't see or touch god
but that doesn't mean it's not there same with god god is beyond our perception as human
being so then it wouldn't be demonstrable if you can't perceive it then how do you know it exists
that's like saying rodney the all-powerful vacuum cleaner is beyond our perception but is very real
or any non-perceivable thing for that matter the beautiful thing about it is we're told
multiple times throughout the quran about our nature about ourselves which is why i love islam
so much i don't see how being told things that are inherently human proves that a book is true
or that there is a deity because every piece of advice is from your creator wait wait wait are
you saying a god wrote the book because if so how could it get so many contradictions like the first
human being made from dirt or blood or nothing i don't know which are all written in the quran
plus many people say that muhammad wrote the quran but if like you said a god cannot be perceived by
human senses muhammad wouldn't be able to hear or know what a god was saying right it's like
ignoring the owner's manual to any complex thing that you own and when it breaks not going to look
for the answers in the owner's manual but instead to other created things right it doesn't make any
sense or you could go and do a google search and find that the owner's manual has a million
contradictions or that it tells you things that you already knew but would make out that
the makers of the thing that was broken couldn't possibly have known about how to fix the item in
question at the time that the thing was made was actually made because they were only lowly desert
dwellers and had never seen a boat or a badger or whatever we have the owner's manual and the quran
tells us and i've talked about this in another video that we have something called allah or
the name the natural inclination to believe in god and being from an anthropological background
this is so clear from studying so many different ancient civilizations up until the modern day we
inclined towards god why because we were built that way and the quran verifies this there are
a few things to ask here one how do you know that the quran is the word of god can you demonstrate
it would it be fair to say you can't accept the word of god until you had demonstrated it
two how do you know that humans were built that way three there are some civilizations that don't
believe in a god because they were brought up being taught different things so could it
be that you were taught to believe in god and three b how do you know which god to believe in
i'm gonna guess because you were taught and avacena who was one of the greatest islamic
philosophers of all time actually ran with the idea that is found in verse 52 35 to 36 in the
quran and it says were they created without any agent were they the creators did they create the
heavens and the earth no they do not have faith these verses tell us blatantly and challenge us
to think outside of what we believe is humanly possible we've seen over so many centuries
that science evolves because our understanding continues to evolve science is fluid because
it's based off our limited human knowledge i'm not even sure what that could mean another great
case of i don't understand how this works so i'm going to just say a god did it it'll be far more
beneficial to say i'm not sure how this works people tell me a god did it but rather than just
accept that because that's what i was taught i'm going to test it myself or observe others
testing it and see if in fact it is explainable by something other than a non-demonstrable deity
after all that i can understand why someone would just say oh god did it maybe i'll just
start saying that from now on it's much lazier i mean easier what doesn't change is what's within
the pages of the quran and if you really study it and you get the best translation you can for it
you know because arabic is has 12 million words okay to our i forget what the english
language is but it's so small compared to all of the nuanced words that are available
in arabic does having more words in a language add to its validity when it comes to religious texts
would that then mean that the christian bible translated into arabic makes it more valid
or the hindu texts being translated into arabic what about harry potter and the
chamber of secrets does having an arabic translation of that make it more valid too
so plainly put you can deny gravity's existence and try to jump off your roof
and see how that works out for you just like you can deny that god exists and
and that hesitation is very telling because where do you go with that this is a terrible analogy
a god and gravity are poles apart gravity is an observable force you can actually see how gravity
works nothing a god has done is observable people just say that must have been god
it's never been demonstrated so you've basically wasted this entire video roll the dice and and
die and see what happens so you're saying there's still a chance it could be wrong
unlike gravity which just is jumping off a building to your death is not the same
as rolling a die but the better way is to use your wisdom and look at the world around you
sometimes people really should take their own advice and sift through the sources that we have
it looks as if you're saying that all of your sources are the quran but in different
translations that's the same source lady it might take you a while to come to the conclusion
uh there is a lot of effort behind it it seems to me there's less effort to just accept things
without testing them but god exists just as surely as gravity does is this your proof
just saying it in that case sophie the unicorn of joy exists just as surely as electromagnetism does
and just because you can't see with your eyes or here with your ears there is something internal
that you can tune into god with what like a radio frequency surely a better way to prove god would
be to just give everyone the same fm frequency then we can put all of this to bed you just
have to practice you just have to use it i'm not entirely sure what that means but okay i sincerely
hope that you find what you're looking for and that perhaps something made sense in this video
the fact that you're understanding that jumping off a building would mean you come crashing to the
ground as reassuring i guess but that's about it always wishing you what is better assalamu
but to perceive things that are unperceivable is impossible unless it is possible in which
case it's perceivable right i don't know i'm not entirely sure we actually got proof of a god more
wishy-washy blah blah blah that got nowhere but that's just me maybe you were convinced are you
as convinced of a god as you are gravity let me know in the section below and i'm going to skept
tick this off as reaffirming i'm never going to reject gravity don't forget to hit the like
button and subscribe if you haven't already from me the skeptic stay safe keep thinking
logically and ask questions skepticism is the first step towards truth see you next saturday
you
