Hi everyone, welcome back to TheVeganAtheist.
This week I deconstruct and critique a YouTube comment found on my channel in order to expose
some of the many incorrect assertions made by online theists.
But before I dive in, I wanted to respond to some of the many comments in last week's
video.
Thank you all for you kind words, and yes I am definitely alive.
I also wanted to reassure my fans and subscribers that while I have changed as a person over
the year I was away, I am still very much an atheist, vegan and skeptic.
The changes have been more in mindset and approach rather then a fundamental abandonment
of who I am.
Anyways, lets get to it.
When some one makes a positive claim (and it doesn't matter what the claim is) and that person has a desire
to convince others to their way of thinking, they have an obligation to provide sufficient
evidence that demonstrates the truthfulness of it.
Atheists, generally speaking, don't make the claim that no god exists or is impossible
to exist, since that is a positive claim that needs defending.
We don't try and use science to prove god's non-existence, because proving the non-existence
of anything would be an impossible task.
Instead, skeptic atheists regularly use a method of observation, testing and 3rd party
verification to uncover natural discoveries.
Using this approach to unsolved mysteries, we come up with explanations that are grounded
in realty.
Humans once believed that lightening was a sign of an angry all powerful being, but now
we know better.
When robust scientific theories are formed to explain some element of the universe, we
move further away from the need to appeal to a mystical unsubstantiated abstraction.
Freedomfighter777's assertion that science supports a god's existence is ungrounded.
Science deals with coming up with the best explanation that fits the evidence.
The evidence for a god existing is poor at best, and should be dropped until such a time
when good evidence is forthcoming.
Now, lets get into the claims regarding the sun's position in relation to the earth.
It took me all of 20 seconds to do a google search to come up with the following information.
The distance between the earth and the sun fluctuates as we travel around it.
At our closest position, the sun is 91.4 million miles (147.1 million km) away, while at its
furthest it is 94.5 million miles (152.1 million km).
This variation of approximately 3.1 million miles (5 million km) is far greater then the
millionth of a decimal that was claimed by Freedomfighter777.
There really is no excuse for this level of ignorance in a day and age where information
is so readily available.
In regards to the big bang and the chaos that ensued, scientists today believe the start
of our universe happened 13.8 billion years ago.
That is a heck of a lot of time for the universe to settle down a bit and form some semblance
of order.
Like so many theists before him, Freedomfighter777 continues the tradition of inventing crackpot
notions of how the universe operates in order to straw man the rational scientific explanations
and make god come out as a winner.
If i could pose some questions to Freedomfighter777, and those who believe as he does...
a) Please provide evidence for the assertion that a big bang type event should be popping
up every moment.
How have you come to that conclusion?
b) What day was it that astronomers announced they were stopping their work?
And c) What good evidence is there that leads
you to the conclusion that humans have been engineered?
Lastly, in this final section of my critique, I will address the final sporadic ramblings
in rapid succession.
1)The universe was formed by a seemingly natural process known as the big bang.
Their is no evidence of intelligence behind the process or within it.
2) Nobody of worth is saying the universe and the life found within it is an accident.
The cosmos operates under certain constraints.
With an inconceivably large amount of time and matter, natural process emerge.
3) The Angry Birds video game is the result of intelligent minds because all past examples
of video games were made by intelligent minds.
We know something was created by contrasting it to what naturally occurs.
What would you contrast to nature in order to determine that IT was created?
Remember complexity is not a sign of intelligence.
4) We definitely do not agree that everything points back to a god, since atheists represent
a fairly large (and growing) portion of the human population, we do not accept the poor
evidence and arguments for a god's existence and finally
5) The big bang theory is currently the best explanation we have.
It is the end result of multiple lines of verifiable evidence and can stand up to honest
scrutiny.
A god has not been demonstrated in any way, and any attempt to do so has been met with
failure.
