this week the skeptic channel went over 10 000 subscribers i'm blown away by all
the likes and comments and i feel like every day i learn a little more which
is great i even learn from the theist comments and guess what to celebrate 10k
we're going to look at some of these comments from believers that have been left on skeptic videos
hello i'm the skeptic i watch videos on youtube that make extraordinary claims whether that's
evolution is fake or atheism is wrong 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 amazing i didn't
realize just how many comments i would start getting and i appreciate every single one of them
including the ones from believers here are some of those comments read by good
friend of the channel apostate aladine who is just reading these comments and doesn't
necessarily hold the same view you can find a poster aladine's channel in the section below
you do not have a thought-provoking channel you have no answers there's two choices evolution or
god if you deny there's a god you will go to hell well jumping straight in there i never
profess to have a thought provoking channel the views in these videos are merely my instant gut
reaction to things i find a little strange surely evolution and god aren't the only two options
that's not a true dichotomy and i'm not denying there's a god i'm just not convinced of any gods
nor am i convinced of a hell currently the threat of hell is the same as you telling me i won't be
getting any easter eggs from the easter bunny but thanks anyway i don't believe that the narrator or
any atheist is a skeptic being a skeptic means that you are truly open to being wrong and will
change to your opponent's point of view when shown wrong atheists don't set up any kind of standard
by which they say something to the effect if you show me this specific thing then i will change
at best they ask for general proof such as show me proof this is vague enough that it allows them to
reject all evidence the worst part about atheism is that they don't even have any way to offer
positive proof that their views are true even to themselves they have to believe atheism by
blind faith they cannot prove their system on its own merits without resorting to negative attacks
on god firstly i just like the name secondly in my case it merely means i doubt certain opinions
unless it's absolutely clear one way or the other third being offered proof that allows atheists
to reject it isn't the fault of the atheist surely that's an issue with what's being offered
and lastly you don't need to offer positive proof of not being convinced of a god that's not a view
it's not being convinced i'm not sure you understand how this works ron guys guys check this
out check this out i just had a thought atheists and christians are 99 or more the same with regard
to believe i'm christian and i only believe in my protestant christian god i haven't been convinced
that all the other gods claimed by all the other religions throughout history are real or even the
other virgins of god within my own faith with respect to all those religions and sects of
christianity aren't i an atheist we really only disagree about one god think about it oh aaron
you're so very close maybe now take why you're not convinced of all those other gods and apply
it to yours if you're not convinced that brahma is real why is that saying you don't believe
in god doesn't mean god doesn't exist if there was a truck heading straight at me and i didn't
believe it existed would i get hit of course god punishes all people and just by stating i do not
believe in god doesn't take you out of the picture but there is good news you still have time to turn
your life around and follow muhammad i mean jesus follow jesus i want all of you to turn and follow
jesus because i care about you repent and put your trust in hashem i mean in jesus you won't see him
but you will feel the effect when you read this you will ignore it or say that i'm delusional but
i'm perfectly in my right mind can you demonstrate jesus exists the quran is evidence that muhammad
existed sorry sorry old habits die hard the bible is evidence that jesus existed the bible
never contradicts itself so instead of having the mindset of i won't believe the bible until it's
proven it's better to believe in it until it's disproven which will never happen oh dear i love
a circular argument mark and by love i mean detest severely you can't use the thing that makes the
claim to demonstrate the claim that's just not how it works in everyday life belief in things until
they're demonstrated to be false is backwards too by that reckoning you should believe in every
single holy book and religion should the housemaid be convicted of murder until it's demonstrated
she's innocent and as for contradictions well there's a video that needs to happen on this
channel wow that circle is annoying l best wishes to you sincerely black wolf oh thanks black wolf
you too i guess we were created proof shows this to be greatly probable the pre-man was genetically
manipulated by god's highly advanced humanoids well as noted by the gods in the sumerian creation
story clay of the earth was as we would say a great april pre-man genetically created by
that of the sub-race the agi creating the adipa the ada was both adam and eve male and female
this was the start of the common day humans if you look evolution has two million year
space between pre-men and common day humans two million years of evolution that never happened
that why we have apes in our world to this day in other words if evolution why monkey what proof
makes something highly probable surely proof demonstrates something to be the case is the
proof this weird claim about advanced humanoids i'm not entirely sure what an advanced humanoid
is and isn't the adipa one mythical person not the adipa it just sounds like you're making stuff
up again arnold you're taking the holy word and adding fiction oh sorry i just slipped into some
book of mormon musical there i'm not entirely sure what you're saying here tech that because
there's dirt and apes it's proof of modern humans being created really i think there are some grave
misunderstandings here first you seem to think that concerning the problem of evil the christian
has the burden of proof this is false the burden of proof is upon the one making the argument and
in this case the atheist is making the argument that god's nature is incompatible with the
existence of evil it is his burden to prove that not the christian's burden to disprove it
what you also don't seem to keep in mind is that these are short answers which are not rigorous
you can't give a two-minute answer to a question concerning biblical slavery and expect it to be
inscrutable these are just quick answers which are the starting point of the conversation this
is a comment from a ben shapiro and billy street crane or whatever his name is video discussing
atheist arguments about evil in the bible and biblical slavery i'm happy to admit if i'm wrong
but i don't think i have a misunderstanding when it comes to this though regular commenter
thoronito said this first off no i believe the grave misunderstanding is yours the problem of
evil is the evidence not the claim the claim is that there is a god that is literally defined as
love and has the most power possible the evidence this is not the case is that that being would be
a contradiction if it could fix everything with less effort than it takes to grow your own hair
fingernails or skin and holds within itself every characteristic of unconditional love it is
possible to hold then the world would hold no evil whatsoever this is where the claim either dies
or is supported craig's way of supporting this is to assert that i must give a reason why that
god would have no justification for allowing suffering to happen thanks though ron i'm
sorry if i butchered your name and then there's the bit about biblical slavery
you shouldn't need to give a two-minute answer to any question about biblical slavery it's actually
very simple is or was it ever acceptable to own people as slaves or property no no oh no
oh you're serious no no absolutely not no you know what i'm gonna go with no
no absolutely not absolutely not no no um no what no no no of course not why would you even want to
do that people are the worst oh and slavery's bad obviously but people absolutely bloody not
ridiculous there i think that clears that up christianity is true cross tick cross
atheism equals stupid falsity is christianity true though there are many other religions that
would say otherwise and all would need to be demonstrated and is it a falsity to not
be convinced of something i think it's stupid to suggest it is next god came from something uh no
god has always been he had no beginning can you demonstrate that nope i have to be as powerful
as god and well i'm just a lowly human if this turns out to be a many comments session may i
ask your take on the creation how the universe came to be do you believe the big bang theory
and the theory of evolution are you an atheist agnostic i'm a believer and i'm not here to
defend god or the bible however i will make it crystal clear as to what is written in it
this isn't what darren says this is what the bible says oh okay darren if that's what the
bible says i guess we have to accept it or do we once you've demonstrated it to be the word
of a god i guess i'll believe you until then i'll just continue floating on this screen
but let me answer your questions i don't know what you mean by creation but i really dig the big
bounce big bang theory offering the best current explanation of why there is a universe so i guess
that means yes i do believe big bang theory and also the theory of evolution am i an atheist yes
am i an agnostic also yes did i get them right do i win a prize one second let me put on my tinfoil
hat evolution is fake you can't prove earth curve rotation or how gas would be next to a vacuum
no big bang no evolution those dino bones they're fake second law says space is fake
mars forget about it the moon you mean that big circle of cheese come on think sheeple think which
second law is that xvhk you can't throw out all that rubbish and then just expect me to have a
clue what you're saying if gas couldn't be next to a vacuum why does the atmosphere thin out as
you travel closer to space and earth curvature is demonstrated so many ways ships sinking past
the horizon is a great one also i'm sorry you think evolution is fake that's just a real shame
anyway next the bible has predicted so many things and never been proven wrong it says today is the
day of salvation it isn't something you can fix once at the end it needs to be addressed now the
bible has been proven to be true you deny this at your own peril read the bible for yourself
don't let others read it for you what things specifically has the bible predicted and never
been proven wrong about just saying the bible has been proven to be true isn't enough to convince me
so where do we go from here i've actually been reading the bible though it's not
convincing me yet maybe i need to get to the juicy bits about god killing kids and
all that stuff before i'm converted as an atheist why bother trying to be a good human
you borrow your moral foundation from another religion why even go through the
effort of making all these videos trying to refute people that believe in creation
and yes whatever you actually have as your world view is a religion as well if you don't believe so
then please oh wise one go ahead and prove it you can start by answering the question where did time
space and matter come from instead of only asking questions perhaps entertain us and answer some
furthermore god has given a solid reason to be mad and you dear sir are toppling high scores
for your sake i hope you are right in your beliefs hope to hear from you cheers which religion am i
borrowing morals from huh i had no idea where did time space and mata come from that actually has
nothing to do with being an atheist i don't know i don't know how half of the lint in my belly button
gets there i hope that was an entertaining enough answer i'm not trying to refute anyone in these
videos i'm just a regular floaty circle aided by a few friends and a rainbow giraffe called lisa
saying why some things sound a bit daft to me plus it's good fun how is god an extraordinary claim
it is extraordinary to think there is no god in that case thank you for clarifying how
extraordinary i am though maybe i twisted that to me anything supernatural is an extraordinary claim
the end actually it's not next so this is a 22 minute video responding to a three minute
40 second long video lol see how things become more complex rotfl wow easy on the acronyms man
and it starts with this nonsense what did a god make the earth out of well ignorance is
bliss for fools like the skeptic right could one be more ignorant of the actual arguments
the bible says professing themselves to be wise they became fools the above is a case in point
what do biblical creationists say well they contend that we have two options
a either everything arose of nothing by accident despite all empirical observation and known laws
of science or b something created everything from nothing something which we would rightly call god
straw manning your opponent not equal sound reason or honest skepticism does it
until you come up with positive testable and repeatable evidence for your
god you have nothing cite all the verses you like from your holy book of lies but until you
provide that evidence you spouting empty rhetoric your religion relies on god of the gaps fallacies
slotting your god into a gap in our knowledge that isn't science that is stupidity
you literally worship an old story nothing more if you think that you worship an actual
real life god then ask it to show itself in our lifetime and then i will worship it too
until then you are simply engaged in grown-up make belief
sometimes i just watch how things unfold ramped and asked handel great name by the way and donnie
h seemed to have this covered i'll just drink my tea and move on skeptic don't read what other
people have read about what folks have read in the bible wow that's a lot of reading me dude
i'm christian and i could have told you that because doing so you'll get a load of crap i
prefer proper research by scholars and theologians to apologists anyway demonic remtion is actually
one of my favorite theist commenters it almost seems as though they're on the edge of moving
away from religion so i'm just going to say here keep asking questions dr we're all here for you if
and when you step away from religion you've got this how would you have answered these comments
add to the conversation as much as you like in the section below i'm going to skeptic these
