Part 1: • Neil deGrasse Tyson on...
--------
In this clip, Neil deGrasse Tyson revisits a previous statement about not believing in God. The astrophysicist/TV Host expanded on the quote by providing DJ Vlad with context while referring to a multitude of "gods" from various religions. He then states that the reason behind his viewpoint is that he values evidence and he has not seen any that suggest the existence of a higher power. As the interview moves along, he explains why he doesn't consider himself to be agnostic before outlining the difference between himself and individuals in that category. Neil also dissects the inaccuracies of the "B.C. and A.D." calendar. To hear more, scroll up and press play.
To me, it doesn't matter what religion you represent or what your beliefs are. If it helps you wake up at peace and give you hope/faith and the incentive to be a good person and treat people right, I respect it completely. And I don't understand how anybody can hate on that.
That is a excellent point. That people that use religion and God for good outweighs the ones that use it for bad.
It matters because all but one "religion" would lead to a world that would spiral out of control when given enough time. Basically just take whatever "religions" you think there are, separate them and give them their own world and watch what happens as generations progress through time. The thing about that scenario though is we don't need to do that because we can see it play out in the world we live in currently.
Religion's in quotes because there's only one truth and its not to be confined or simplified into a man made word. Please accept Jesus and turn to God, and that goes for me as well.
I agree were all brothers and sisters at the end of the day and if something leads you to be good than good. But I still have to say eventually human beings have to get away from religion and they should start doing it now and at faster pace.
God The source of all things actually is a real existent power that we all come from believe it or not. Some people don't like that but it is actually a truth. But God is not religion, basically all religions from Christianity to Islam are man made constructs. Every religion has some truths in it that are beneficial to know, but what religion ultimately does is rob people from real authentic spirituality. It takes them from knowing the truth that they are gods themselves and have a lot of power in themselves to shape their own life, love themselves fully, command the life they want, and among many other important things as well.
it keeps you locked in a fantasy world of worshiping dead men that really have nothing to do with anything, and putting power, responsibility, respect, and credence on things outside of yourself. When you should be getting into yourself and your own power and advancing. Yes its nice to have faith in god and love god, that's a beautiful thing. But people never get past that part and realize they are the main character in their story in life and need to evolve and advance and get into themselves.
instead their stuck believing imaginary bullshit like there is such thing as hell, and a man 2000 years ago is the literal creator god, and all this islamic nonsense and what not. Its all bullshit, Its all taken out of context concepts made by men. Theres some profound truths that jesus and these men were trying to teach thousands of years ago but what happened was people took it mostly out of context and made a "religion" out of it and now people are stuck for generations with nonsense in their head. The original meanings were twisted around, misconstrued and were not even meant to be worshiped and made into a cult, AKA a religion.
long story short if religion gives you faith and makes you a good person that's good. But it should really be avoided and many people should start running from it because it takes you into fantasy land and gives you wrong beliefs and robs you of finding truth and your power. you dont need religion to be a good person, or to have faith, or love god and have a relationship with it
@@estvescalders6597 If you were born to parents in the Middle East, 99% chance you would be a Muslim. Then you would say that would be the one true god.
The world would not spiral out of control without religion. Proof of that is in my country Australia, we only have 43% christians, yet we have a five times lower crime rate than the highly christian U.S. we have an enjoyable lifestyle with people focusing on family life, and they’re not running around hurting, robbing, or killing people.
Fighting over religion however, has killed many millions of people throughout history and continues to do so. Northern Ireland have the same christian religion, but were killing each other by disagreeing with the rules and doctrines of the same religion.
@@estvescalders6597
I partially agree, but at the same time I can understand why people are in the middle or complete atheist.
Throughout history a lot of horrible things have been justified because of religion.

Great comment
Neither does God.
Yup, life goes on........
@@jase1568 i thought the magical book said god will burn you for eternity if you don’t believe in him
@@salemk.3098 people still wrote the Bible. They probably used that because it scared people back then, but not now. This is why I think we should rewrite the Bible for modern interpretation
I found my people! As a black American that grew up in the Baptist Church, I always felt like this. I would look around the church and watch people pass out from shouting and running around the church. It took the internet and my travels for me to discover a whole world of religious teachings. Never turned back ❤️
clearly bullshit, people dont run around or shout in churches you must be high on shrooms
Same thing happened to me. I was raised as a Baptist, but started to doubt this stuff after joining the military and traveling the world.
I agree.. I live in the South too and even as a kid I was weirded out by the blood drinking rituals.. You know drinking grape juice pretending it's blood and the little cracker pretending it's flesh.. As an adult, it looks like ritualistic cannibalism
Then the passing out, speaking in tongues.. That was scary whenI was a little kid.. Now as an adult, I look at that as demon possession..
I am still a Christian though and I just chalk it up as the church being lost and corrupt..
I don't go to church but I still study the Bible and pray occasionally and I live by the 10 commandments.
Yet you feel the need to say this. I’ve seen your comments about TD Jakes. You need to come home to Jesus. God Bless you!
@@robertjones2401 TD Jakes? Negro, please! Enjoy your religion. Happy for you ❤️✌🏾

Facts
Neil teaching Vlad how to ask him questions 🥲
Neil is one of the most intellectual people living today. Everything he says makes sense to me and none of his statements are made on belief alone, but instead is backed by facts and objectivity.
Abosutely not. It’s small minded and dimwitted people like you who make him seem so
the problem with humans is that we are always looking to defy people into a specific category group of humans. we all need to just stop trying to identify anybody into any kind of group. just call people by the name they where given. that's it and that's all. identify a person by there indvidualality, just call them by there name. it's not that hard plus it's just more respectable.
@R Boland yeah so just call a person by there name. "I love individuals and I hate groups of people. The groups can be 2 or 3 or more. I just hate groups of people who have a common purpose. Whenever people group up they lose there individuality and become stupidly dangerous and always tend to do real stupid things together. I love individuals cause when talking with an individual you can just see the universe gleaming in there eyes. So groups of people I really dispise". _George Carlin
@@dreddmann9292 only a king would understand
I'm assuming you meant define. H*ll no. I'm black and appreciate being divided by different cultural practices and, or ethnic background. The problem is, adults, who, can't agree to disagree, who cries anytime someone is opposed to them. Let the world continue with a wide spectrum of diversity and differences. Peace is fine. Uniting is stupid.
@@cedricmcclendon3290 We are united if you like it or not the language that you speak is United.
@@darthvader1191 No, what you should be doing is simply start calling people by there names. nationality does not defy who you are as a person unless you want it to. but you won't know that about a person until you actually meet them. for example, just because a person comes from a communist country doesn't mean that person is also a communist, and you won't really know if he or she is or isn't a proud communist until you actual meet them and take the time to get to really know the individual. categorizing people is impersonal and it makes people do things that are immoral. groups start forming because they share a common hate for another as if hating is the okay thing to do. a person can't defy your personality and/or who you are just because of your nationality, only you can.
I'm a believer in the Father. Good to see decent conversation.
The world needs more people like this man.
Was train women u was younger but I would forsure go to few class on what ever he is teaching. Physic etc
Can’t help but to feel him If you really want to be rational and logical 🤷🏾♂️
This is the equivalent of getting Michael Jackson to perform on an episode of Jerry Springer!
this was respectable from him. Good discussion
I identify as someone who does not believe in the existence of god. I hold the view that there is insufficient evidence or rational justification to support the belief in any gods or supernatural entities. I rely on reason, logic, and empirical evidence to form my worldview and do not find compelling evidence or arguments to support the existence of god.
He brings on people who don't believe in God to make their points, but never brings on people who believe in God to prove their points.
Exactly 💯
There is NO proof of god !
Yall just pointing to the Bible . No evidence
@@rasulsamad5860 I don't even need the Bible for evidence.
@shall7277 what's your evidence? Your family believed in Jesus and never thought for yourself...simple
I consider Neil as a national treasure. If he’s in sports, he’s a LEGEND!!💪🏼👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He's a legend in science.
He's a pompous establishment tool who knows very little.
scince is more important than sports
That's not at all what a legend is. You don't need to be in a sport to be a legend.
When he's not ranting about his political dogma.
This was perfect.
I Believe in Science. 💯
Science still can't prove god doesn't exist. To this day it's called the "theory" of evolution. The smartest people in the world still can't prove that's way life happened. Including Neil.
Humility is probably the only reason why I respect this guy, especially when considering that there are as many forms of atheism as there are unique theologies/definitions of god, so claiming that one is an atheist would require defining the specific god which one is rejecting, while it's impossible to find a definition which can fit all the theologies out there, and so it's much more reasonable to identify oneself as non-religious/sceptic, and instead make a critique of the specific theologies which one is encountering.
He's not humble at all😅
@@skeletorlikespotatoes7846 what happened with that woman that accused him of something sexual?
@@skeletorlikespotatoes7846I think he tries to put a human face on the atheist movement. I find him someone I could have a conversation with, being a deist myself. Humans are naturally arrogant because we tie our beliefs into the core of who each of us is. To admit that you may be wrong is like an attack on yourself. That is why I try to respect all opinions, even those that I disagree with. I always say - I very well may be totally wrong in my views and the universe may be completely devoid of meaning and purpose with no god. I strongly doubt this, but yes I am but one person and I could be wrong. Live and let live.
It’s double talk he says he’s not saying there is no God but show him evidence, there’s no evidence. If he were humble he would just say he’s not sure. He’s the opposite of humble.
I don't believe in any of the gods and Santa as well
Imagination - Process of Pure Creation
The process of creation starts with thought
- an idea, conception, visualization. Everything you see was once someone's idea. Nothing exists in your world that did not first exist as pure thought.
This is true of the universe as well.
Thought is the first level of creation.
Next comes the word. Everything you say is a thought expressed. It is creative and sends forth creative energy into the universe. Words are more dynamic (thus, some might say more creative) than thought, because words are a different level of vibration from thought. They disrupt (change, alter, affect) the universe with greater impact.
Words are the second level of creation.
Next comes action.
Actions are words moving. Words are thoughts expressed. Thoughts are ideas formed. Ideas are energies come together. Energies are forces released. Forces are elements existent. Elements are particles of God, portions of ALL, the stuff of everything.
The beginning is God. The end is action. Action is God creating - or God experienced.
Hang on. There's one thing more I have to tell you. You are always seeing what by your terms you would define as the "past," even when you are looking at what is right in front of you.
I am?
It is impossible to see The Present. The Present "happens," then turns into a burst of light, formed by energy dispersing, and that light reaches your receptors, your eyes, and it takes time for it to do that.
All the while the light is reaching you, life is going on, moving forward. The next event is happening while the light from the last event is reaching you.
The energy burst reaches your eyes, your receptors send that signal to your brain, which interprets the data and tells you what you are seeing. Yet that is not what is now in front of you at all. It is what you think you are seeing. That is, you are thinking about what you have seen, telling yourself what it is, and deciding what you are going to call it, while what is happening "now" is preceding your process, and awaiting it.
To put this simply, I am always one step ahead of you.
My God, this is unbelievable.
Now listen. The more distance you place between your Self and the physical location of any event, the further into the "past" that event recedes. Place yourself a few light-years back, and what you are looking at happened very, very long ago, indeed.
Yet it did not happen "long ago." It is merely physical distance which has created the illusion of "time," and allowed you to experience your Self as being both "here, now" all the while you are being "there, then"!
One day you will see that what you call time and space are the same thing.
Then you will see that everything is happening right here, right now.
This is....this is....wild. I mean, I don't know what to make of all this.
When you understand what I have told you, you will understand that nothing you see is real. You are seeing the image of what was once an event, yet even that image, that energy burst, is something you are interpreting. Your personal interpretation of that image is called your image-ination.
And you can use your imagination to create anything. Because - and here is the greatest secret of all - your image-ination works both ways.
Please?
You not only interpret energy, you create it. Imagination is a function of your mind, which is one-third of your three-part being. In your mind you image something, and it begins to take physical form. The longer you image it (and the more OF you who image it), the more physical that form becomes, until the increasing energy you have given it literally bursts into light, flashing an image of itself into what you call your reality.
You then "see" the image, and once again decide what it is. Thus, the cycle continues. This is what I have called The Process.
This is what YOU ARE. You ARE this Process.
This is what I have meant when I have said, you are both the Creator and the Created.
I have now brought it all together for you. We are concluding this dialogue, and I have explained to you the mechanics of the universe, the secret of all life.
Okay.
Now as energy coalesced, it becomes, as I said, very concentrated. But the further one moves from the point of this concentration, the more dissipated the energy becomes. The "air becomes thinner." The aura fades. The energy never completely disappears, because it cannot. It is the stuff of which everything is made. It's All There Is. Yet it can become very, very thin, very subtle - almost "not there."
Then, in another place (read that, another part of Itself) it can again coalesce, once more "clumping together" to form what you call matter, and what "looks like" a discreet unit. Now the two units appear separate from each other, and in truth there is no separation at all.
This is, in very, very simple and elementary terms, the explanation behind the whole physical universe.
Wow. But can it be true? How do I know I haven't just made this all up?
Your scientists are already discovering that the building blocks of all of life are the same.
They brought back rocks from the moon and found the same stuff they find in trees. They take apart a tree and find the same stuff they find in you.
I tell you this: We are all the same stuff. (I and the Father are One Energy)
We are the same energy, coalesced, compressed in different ways to create different forms and different matter.
Nothing "matters" in and of itself. That is, nothing can become matter all by itself. Jesus said, "Without the Father, I am nothing." The Father of all is pure thought. This is the energy of life. This is what you have chosen to call Absolute Love.
This is the God and the Goddess, the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. It is the All-in-All, the Unmoved Mover, the Prime Source. It is that which you have sought to understand from the beginning of time. The Great Mystery, the Endless Enigma, the Eternal Truth.
There is only One of Us, and so, it is THAT WHICH YOU ARE.
One of the smartest people in the world doesnt believe in God because hes looking up into the sky for him instead of in himself.
I thank god everyday he made me an atheist.
Yous a liar
😂😂😂😂😂
What is consciousness Neil?
The other word that is an alternative to "Atheist" that Neil deGrasse Tyson is seeking is "None". Surveys of religious belief often use the word "None" for people who are not religious but choose not to identify as "Atheist" or "Agnostic" based on the cultural baggage those two words carry.
This is why I don't consider myself a "gamer". Everytime I say I play games, people ask me about COD, NBA2k, Madden, Destiny, or whatever multiplayer shooter is trending. I only play single player games. When they ask me what I play, they've never heard of it. Then I have to not only attempt to explain that game (like persona 5 for example), but the entire genre the game belongs to. At this point, its easier to just tell people I'm not a "gamer", lol
“I owe that to your intellect” gotta love this guy….
Once you have experienced an ego death, the answer comes very simply: God is the universe and God is nature. God loves all creation and that is why nature has the power of creation. Nature can be very punishing, when humans are punishing to it and to each other. We are also nature. So love nature and love each other, then there will be paradise. It is really not that complicated.
I'm happy to to be called an atheist for God's sake. I'm also a product of my culture and upbringing. Sang in the school choir, etc, etc.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all, believers and non believers. Oh, and God bless. 😁
Believe it or not, I'm walkin' on air

Believer or no believer... The important thing is to do good, to respect others belief, to love, to be happy and content and just live the life you have
You should respect people's right to believe as they choose but not necessarily what they believe. Religion is a foolish and dangerous thing and should not be respected.
@@charleshuguley9323no religion IS a religion

I believe in God, but I don't understand why a believer would care that a non-believer doesn't believe, it has nothing to do with you 😕
literal wars could've been prevented if more people like you had just simply existed☠
crazy consideration how simply jus minding your own business has elite consequences in history ☠
It is a believers job to help seek and save the lost...if your were on the wrong path about to make a turn into everlasting destruction and separation from the creator wouldn't you want someone to help lead and guide you?
I never have cared about someone not believing. That’s on you gang.🤷🏾♂️
I believe we have an omnipotent creator. I will share my beliefs, and I’ll have conversations about it. But I don’t shove my beliefs down peoples’ throats.
@@robliberachi then you’re not a true friend
The reason I consider myself an atheist is because I believe in the harm religion has caused me and many people throughout history. I believe it’s why so many people readily accept lies and conspiracy theories, because a belief system based on faith does not require evidence to form a belief, which I think is fundamentally dangerous. Also, the biggest thing religion offers, an answer to the question “what happens when we die?”, I think is comforting at best, dangerous at worst. Because the concept of morality sprouted from
the understanding of our own mortality, and we cannot have a fully honest conversation about right and wrong with someone who believes their actions have consequences past their own death.
Well if you speak about the "harm of religion" that's a very broad perspective since the start of religion(s) so let's say we were talking about Christianity since it's the largest group then we would have to compare atheism vs Christianity and see the history of which group killed the most people whether genocide, war, or any inclusion. If we look only at the past century we see how Communist regimes thanks to the influence of Carl Marx as well have killed over 100 million lives and this is only in the past century... You brought up a very good point about needing "faith" and this "belief" system to BELIEVE in God, so I will ask you the same question. What is your proof that God doesn't exist? How did all of this perfection come to be about? How is the earth not too far yet not too close? How is our DNA perfect? How do our mere blood cells reproduce in masses of over 100 million per second and hundreds of billions per day at a 99.9999% replica of one another? How is it that the earths core is so perfect which we call 1G the 'standard gravity' that if it had a bit less force we would all float to space and if it had a bit more force we would all be crushed to death? See, it is the atheists that have to give proof that there is no God for the reason alone that the atheistic belief is derived from believing that all of this came from nothing, it is illogical to believe that something can happen without the cause and effect derivation. Something coming into existence without a cause? A higher source of power does exist prove me wrong. Believing in the morality of a human being has led to gruesome torture and inhuman activities and if we look at history and COMPARE history we will see that nothing comes from atheism but KAOs. Hope this helped.
Thank you for sharing this. For me, it's more about how people live their earthly lives. Your comment has me thinking about another aspect, though.
@@christopheralcala2458 It is itrational to make an implausible pronouncement and then claim its irrefutability because its truth cannot be contested. If you maintain that purple people eaters exist on Mars can I prove that they don't? No, not absolutely, but since there is no evidence that they exist other than your statement, I can say that it is highly unlikely. The same applies to God. We have nothing but the claims of humans that God exists. I can't say with absolute certainty that there is no such being, but because there is no empirical evidence of it I can say that to the best of my knowledge God does not exist.
Also, the existence if things we don't understand does not prove the existence of God. We learn the causes of new things constantly. And, by the way, the reason life forms on Earth are compatible with gravity is not because God made it so; it is because we evolved to be compatible with the gravity of this planet. You've got it backwards.
If you tell people you're an Atheist they look at you like you have no moral compass, because you think for yourself and utilize logic. Religious people need a God standing over their shoulders every day of their lives to ensure they know right from wrong. You aren't very moral if you need a God to tell you not to do harm to other human beings on this planet.
@@teddyjam8134I wouldn’t say they need a belief to be good people but a force that explains why there is a good or bad. Honestly I don’t know what to believe. But I do believe in a force out there that we just can never comprehend. I’d rather live a life believing then just thinking we become dirt. Sounds like a sad life.
Neil made sure to get that shit straight! Made sure to mention the set up to the question. Context is always key.
Vlad not use to dealing with a critical thinking brother!!!😆
I don’t think Mr Tyson will be invited back!!!😂
(smh) Theology isn't hard to figure out if you ACTUALLY care about the Truth -the idea that because there is an abundance of choices they then are therefore all wrong is idiotic, nor does it mean that they are all right for that matter, and moreover conflicts with the reason and logic that a "scientist" like Tyson should be adhering to. Tyson is a goof -he stood with GMO foods even though it's pretty much common knowledge at this point that it's best to eat as organic as possible, he looked like a bumbling tool when he tried to defend his libtard views in a gender/sex debate relatively recently, and the lack of any real scientific deductive reasoning when it comes to a surface question about theology shows that he is only a "scientist" professionally, and not a scientist intellectually. Fr tho his popularity says a lot about how most people these days can't think critically. 🙄
The hyperbolic number of 18,000 is disingenuously overinflated because Agnostics and "Atheists" think it helps their idiot capitulation of "tHeRe Is ToO mAnY cHoIcEs FoR uS to KnOw ThE tRuTh" -counting stories of people worshiping things that they thought (or knew) were just spiritual entities, NOT "gods", will result in moronic counts that end up looking like they're in the thousands, so if you take all the smaller entities out and realize that a lot of those tallies for that "18,000" number are talking about SIMILAR beings, meaning that there were "gods" that were counted MULTIPLE times to come up with that moronic "18,000" number, it then becomes a bit easier to figure things out once you realize what kind of disinfo it is to say that there are "18,000 dIfFeReNt gOdS". 👍
The existence of God is self evident, that's WHY secularists have the burden of proof on them, and MOST scientists throughout history have BEEN RELIGIOUS, but more specifically Christian -whether it's the CODE of reality with DNA (4-bit 3-D code couldn't just magically materialize naturally), the LAWS of nature (AGAIN with NO WAY TO COME ABOUT NATURALLY), or even Historical proof of things that happened in the Bible IN THE WAY THAT THE BIBLE SAYS, like the historical evidence of what happened at the crossing of the Red Sea, the proof is literally all over the place, and to deny the existence of God means that you either don't really care about the Truth, or actively hate the Truth. 💯
What it boils down to, is that we all have this time to find the Truth while we are alive, and if we don't figure it out before we pass, we'll KNOW Him in one way or another when all is said and done. ✌

You know what the deal is!😆
😂 Lol Neil spoke a bunch of words and fascinated you all. Dang gone. Knowledge is such a lost treasure.
As an atheist, I've never chased anyone down to argue or debate their beliefs. Not all atheists are that aggressive. I'd even go so far as to say that they are the minority.
Exactly! And glad you said this👏🏾 We already get a bad rap by most religions people who don’t care to spend time to get to know us atheist. But religious people would rather us sit and listen to them. Neil just don’t like being labeled, but the reality is he’s an agnostic atheist just like you and me.
Most athletes and nonbelievers are closeted and quiet 🤐 about their beliefs. I on the other hand am vocal and proud to acknowledge my stance to show others that it’s ok to not have to hide and be bullied by the masses of religious people.
I really hate how Neil frame us atheist. He was wrong for that. And the whole calendar 📅 thing was unwarranted. He could have done a better job explaining that part. SMH 🤦🏽♂️
@@lajonelliott7155 definitely! I'm very forward with my position to others, I'm just not always looking to debate or talk down to someone because of what they choose to believe. If someone wants to have a discussion, I'm with that. Likewise, if someone does want that debate smoke, I'm always ready. Bottom line, I don't care what you believe as long as you come at me with peace and respect. Come at me sideways and I may embarrass you, because it's a debate that you can't win no matter what.
@@lajonelliott7155 listen, the blind ignorance about atheism is astounding! I still have conversations with people that think being an atheist means you worship satan. This is why having conversations are important, so you can calmly break down atheism to believer, and get them to think outside the box. If I'm attacking and yelling at you, you'll never hear or be open to anything that I have to say. You can attract more bees with honey than you can with vinegar. 😂
I was raised as a Muslim, in an Arabic country. I then moved in my early school years to Europe. You can probably guess where by my message, but anyways. I was informed many many different stories when I was a child, and as you know, children are like a sponge, they obsorbe what is told to them. As I grew up and continued to educate myself, I started to question certain logics behind what I was taught and learned myself. Sadly, in public, back in my country I would not be able to fully speak out without being deemed negatively, but thankfully there are so many amazing religious scholars who are super happy to listen to questions, discuss it and share their knowledge. Thats the answer here sadly. Its knowledge. Education, most people arent in lower income civilizations. I don't mean to poke at finance or economy, but it all ties together and as you all clearly know, there is not smoke without fire or some form of chemical reaction. My point is very simple, I refuse to obey words I am told by people, humans aren't perfect, only the creator, I believe there is a higher being in the creation of the conscious sense of what we call life, but is it truly what we are told, I find it hard to believe the words of others. Sorry for my rant, I just wished to share my view.
you will do fine brother dont worry. we all felt that
God is definitely NOT what we are told. When I realized that, I bawled like a baby. Then I got angry. Angry at "them" for lying. For trying to rob me of my ability to think for myself. I found out much later that what I experienced is called cognitive dissonance. God is a frequency. God is everlasting love and total compassion. God is having a human experience through our existence. There is nothing that we need that is outside of ourselves. We already have the answers to all our questions and the solution to all our problems, within. Most of us just have not been taught how to find them.
Brother,you should research islam , the Quran and rediscover it yourself
@@latnew1 I can identify with what you just said. God is definitely not what we've been told, and just like you when I made that discovery, I too got angry. I was livid. Being told that God gives human beings free will to live life, but at the same time intervenes in our lives when it looks like God can score points. I was brain washed, and when people keep pushing this lie about the God character of the Bible I get angry. There were times when I would sit and think just saying to myself how could I be so stupid to believe the stories I was told. Human beings have to take action if they want to see a better world there is no God coming to save you. It's like the world is just one big manipulation and people buy into that manipulation every day. It's sickening.

how do you know about God?
I'm SO glad I watched this. It's ok to celebrate culture, and define your beliefs on your own terms without leading others to do the same.
What's cool is that , as an Atheist, (Nitchske) or an objectivist (Ayn Rand) both died alone and pennisless. This guy is just a shill for progressivism, which is DECAYING our society from within. He is completely obsolete. If you have no moral framework, you don't risk alienating people .. he just is reckless with his excuse. There is no moral backbone, which is why society is MELTING. This guy helps thought in NO WAY whatsoever.
Yeah it's all fun and games until you close your eyes for the last time
Same goes for unbelief. You and I both know, that, the world pushes drug use, violence and sex in every aspect of media, while becoming offended if you share any, that, states, that, you don't agree with certain specific beliefs. If christians are expected to not confirm, then, the world shouldn't teach children about things contraire. If a kid wants to carry a bible, or wear a shirt with Jesus Christ, then, unbelievers should shut up.
Wow. Now read the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
I kinda feel it is not ok toi celebrate culture either, it is basically the same thing as religion, somethi ng humans cling on to from an identity, then try to force that identity down others throats, it's why we have culture wars too.
Neil’s comments are based on humility and critical thinking, two attributes that I appreciate in anyone but especially an educator. Ultimately we can all believe whatever we choose truth or falsehoods and that's ok until you impose those beliefs on others to their detriment. I am concerned with the positive or negative impact on Earth resulting from what people believe or disbelieve. Otherwise, I support a person's right to choose that belief whatever it may be.
Yes, to be concerned with the positive or negative impacts, effects to yourself, in the family, in the society, and in the environment.
God does give us that freedom to believe what we want but our beliefs can be wrong, and in the case of God, if one does not believe in Christ alone for salvation, he will be eternally separated from God according to Christ
and ironically more authentically "Christ-like" than many self-professed "Christians" 🤦♂🤦🤦♀
Neil never ceases to captivate me. I love and respect his commitment to the truth and his consideration for others' beliefs.

Anything that would allow you to call it “God” is clearly wicked. Praising and worshipping the idea of an almighty being is also pretty satanic. It creates a perception that colors everything “believers” see. I think such beliefs harm people in ways that they can’t comprehend.
If you're all just learning about how interesting Neil is.. please youtube his lectures.. you'll be WELL entertained.
I think people never gave him a chance because he was disliked by the right wing for going against their beliefs. They’re very vocal about it to the point that the people that are in the middle (liberals don’t give a fuck about the opinions of right wing) listened to them to avoid the perception of bias.
That’s an absolute fact! If you’ve never listened to his lectures I assure you that you will be more than entertained, inspired more so.
AGREED.
I believe in God and its not cause of anything anyone fed me. I pray regularly and my prayers are always answered. I also have experienced things where there is no other explanation. Pray and find out for yourself. What do you have to lose? If you seek Him he will make Himself known.
He's a prayer answer. I keep a journal with my prayers
He was very fair in his response. I really hope people watch the entire video before getting the pitchforks.

I love hearing Neil deGrasse reason, he always have some interesting points! He is a very spot on type of guy.
the guy believes in science and also believed there's no higher intelligence. he's holding two opposing thoughts in his mind.
@@darthvader1191there's enough evidence for evolution that it's a scientific theory just like gravity and many others. Plus we know the universe is expanding so it's only logical to assume that at one point it was condensed into a singularity that then went outward hence big bang. It's ok to say you don't understand or don't know about certain things but when you disregard all evidences that make up a coherent equation, you're just being willfully ignorant
@@Reason1024 it's understandable but yet again as the guy above said, he's being ignorant, he should've at least try to read the holy books, explore religions, their culture, customs etc... before giving his judgment on what, when, where, who, why God is.
Also, the theories... They're still theories man... We still don't have enough evidence to believe that's what is actually happening.... Like the expansion of the universe, we can't 'physically' see it so how can we believe its real?? But still if they say Doppler shift of stars and Galaxies suggest that universe is expanding, likewise there's nothing wrong in saying that god created us, because the complex living body suggests that there must be a higher power behind our creation.
This is my take on this, hope it makes sense, peace out ☺️
@@sembl4nce1 why get into religions when they're own sects can't even agree on things, much less different religions having issues.
Look up the definition of a scientific theory is and how we know FOR A FACT that the universe is not only expanding, but expanding at an accelerating rate.
What evidence is there that can be tested and repeated to get the same conclusion that a god created anything or that one even exists? Any measurements? Any conclusive tests or studies? Any equations to workout a possible outcome? Stick to what you know or actually learn how the scientific method works or stfu

Belief in god really just comes from fear of the unknowable and the desire to have all the answers so you can feel like there's a purpose behind your existence and you're not just some cosmic accident that's here now and gone tomorrow. People just need to feel like we're important. In reality, a cosmic event could clean this little marble out and it'd be like we never existed.

It was like that in the early to mid-19th c., when there was a campaign to tranquilize it into what it has become since. The religious part is just a hypocritical veneer to make it respectable.

I like Neil and I think he's doing a much needed service by explaining science in a down to Earth way so that people, who may not have been taught about it, can understand it. I totally disagree with his reasons for rejecting the term atheist when describing himself. Maybe his definition works for him but it's not the definition I use. He said, in the beginning, that he doesn't believe in any of the gods that have been promoted, or similar words. That's the definition of an atheist in my book. My definition of atheist is anyone that doesn't believe in any god or gods. The part about cultural practices has nothing to do with belief. It's just a part of their culture.

The fact that the concept of God violates those laws and leaves many complex questions makes it really difficult for most scientist to accept and believe in His existence.
