I think he was pretty clear. The question was too specific about what that miracle would look like, and the bible doesn't give that information. It's simple as that.
If Jesus was, from the age of 12 to the age of 33, studying Egyptian and Indian mysticism, yoga and meditation, it is than entirely possible that he never died, even after being tortured for so long, and that he rested for 2 days so he could walk out of that cave, seemingly resurrect from his untimely death. Just take Wim Hoff as an observable example, what he's been able to do with his mind and body is something, perhaps,that Jesus could have done also.
@@BatkoBrat No, Jesus would have been only in Egypt for approximately 10 years. He returned back with Mary and Joseph in time for the census.

Later in the video he goes on to say that the implciations of the only person presumably to ever rise from the dead under his own power, also claimed to be God, and also claimed to fulfil the oldest and most sacred law in that area, possibly the world, it is immense. Is the divine real? For all of human history we aren't sure, we are skeptical, for good reason! But here is some evidence, very good evidence mind you, that someone actually WAS divine, and not just divine, you could say THE Divine, so what does that mean to you, what does it mean to scociety, or ultimatley humanity? Its not a stretch to say its the most meaningful subject to ponder IF true. In my view its fair to say hey I supsect this might have happend, and I'm trying to wrap my head around the implications of that.
It is genuinely wild that he still does this. O'Connor basically walked his warbling ass right through to an explicit affirmation of the resurrection and he STILL said he wasn't sure. And people pay this dude to talk about religion!
@@azmainfaiak8111 that's a different context as the question was different.It was as to why he didn't answer the question the same way he answered Alex.Now Alex was very precise and specific so no way to make it seem like an ambiguous question but the other questions (the one asked before) could be ambiguous. Honestly I do find the way he answers kind of weird as one could just take the probabilistic approach and assume the obvious and answer but he wasn't really evading the question once Alex specified.
@@Michael-vl7ey of course, but he did not say that which is exactly the problem. he refuses to stake out a position of either yes, no or i don't know and instead tries to be as ambiguous as possible
Unless it means Jesus didn't actually die on the cross. Then he couldn't rise from the "dead". That IS kind of important to know, to directly relate to what it means to me. Because if he didn't die on the cross, then *poof* no miracle. No religion 😊
He did actually answer it though, he said it would show on the screen, in his opinion. I thought he would say, it depends on what you mean by screen, but he missed his chance there.
Once you’ve created a mystique around you as being a profound intellectual, you can then always say “but no one knows what that truly means!” To get out of any questions
It's so annoying, especially when he criticises the question like it's a trap or poorly worded. It doesn't matter how specific the question is he can always say he doesn't know what the definition of basic words is. This is why I loved the way Alex worded this question because if Jordan asked the definition of any of the words in the question, he would have looked even more stupid than he already did. I feel like Jordan can't just say, "I don't know." he has to use fancy words like "suspect."
Nothing here is unclear. What he says is perfectly in keeping with the belief that whether the bible is literally true or not, it contains deep truths and narrative truth. And that believing in God is good for people, better than being atheist. Crazily enough, if you know the strength of the arguments for Christianity, and the strength of arguments for Islam, and Atheism... you would be more aware of how any attempt to downplay the complexity of this situation is an offense

As a Christian, this is a more profound response to this question than I have ever heard before. I think that so many people get caught up on did these things physically happen or not. But the answer that we don’t even know what it means regardless of it happening or not is actually such a humble, true response. I think we often make the mistake of trying to understand infinity. But we don’t know anything about death, clearly
Well, at least in this interview, I realized that he does have some really interesting ideas but it's made confusing because of his egregious rhetorical skills
Dude. Jordan is so clear in his head. He is the most humble in his abilities. He starts at the lowest possible level and mediates from it with complete control and clarity.
the fact that you pin that to his honest is so retarded. idiot. you think when he didn't want to be pinned down to someone elses shallow dismissive diminished question - rather than WHAT HE ACTUALLY TALKS ABOUT - that is Peterson that is being dishonest? Why isn't Alex being dishonest for forcing his questions into a realm Peterson isn't discussing? Fool.
@@shanesawyer5103 You guys are the ones coping that he won't answer to your liking. How is asking about a camcorder in 30 AD rational? How is that anything other than an impossible scenario? We all know that if the imagery on it showed Jesus, that Dawkins, Dillahunty, Harrison, Ra and O'Connor still wouldn't believe... so how is it a rational question? If it's not related to Peterson's work and message, and he openly says why he doesn't address it - why is it a rational question. Instead of shouting cope like a zoomer middle schooler - try actually expressing an idea. You didn't refute me. You just belched and called it an opinion.
That depends on what you mean by "Did". And it depends of what you mean by "Jesus". And it depends on what you mean by "actually". And it depends on what you mean by "rise" You see where I'm going The best description I've heard for Peterson's rants is "pseudo-profound bullshit"

I think Peterson is being incredibly honest and I appreciate his honesty. I appreciate Peterson wanting to understand what he is asserting to be true and why it’s important to really understand what is true. I could very easily be wrong but I think he may need to separate the two questions: Did Jesus walk out of that tomb? If he did what does that mean? I think the first question is vitally important to the whole world. I think the second question is vitally important to those who call Christ their Lord.
There were a few times in this where JP said something along the lines of “I’m convinced that it’s true, but I have no idea what it means”. I genuinely don’t understand how you can be convinced of the truth of something you have no idea about.
@@MarioTsota Peterson's lack of conviction makes no sense, agreed. And it is frustrating to listen to. But Christ's resurrection, as the physical sign of God's undying nature, is the very foundation of meaning.
Peterson doing an excellent job of demonstrating why so many people find their experience with religion to be frustrating and pointless. Everything is fine until you start asking certain pointed questions, at which point you can either stop asking and simply accept, or give up and walk away.
Alex is asking two seemingly similar questions, but actually different, which is important to note. Q1: Would the camera show a man walk out of the tomb? Q2: Did Jesus rise from the dead? #1 - Could have been another man. Could have been Jesus who was recovered from seemingly mortal wounds (remember when there bells on tombstones/coffins because humans were burying living people who were pronounced dead?). Could have been Jesus risen from the dead. #2- How can someone rise from the dead? It defies what we understand. I enjoy listening to both of these speakers, and I don't see a need to side with one over the other. Doesn't have to be "us vs them".
"I have no idea what that means..." He seems to think that gives his points MORE weight, not LESS. Such Socrates, much Plato. Oh, me say me not know, that's why smart
I hate this aspect of Peterson so much. This is one aspect when he's very clearly "grifting" as the kids say. He's well aware that many of the people that buy his books, attend his speeches, and pay for other things are Christian and he doesn't wanna lose them.
THE INCREDULITY OF Saint Thomas. Thomas is commonly known as "Doubting Thomas" because he initially doubted the resurrection of Jesus Christ when he was told of it (as is related in the Gospel of John); he later confessed his faith ("My lord and my God") on seeing the places where the wounds had healed on the holy body of Jesus after the Crucifixion
This cosmic sceptic guy was the perfect person to call Jordan out. Does it in such a calm composed way. Dawkins was also good in his interview with Peterson but in a more hilarious way
Boa parte dos cristãos se chocam com a chamada sociedade permissiva. JP também. Mas como não é, de saída, cristão, caiu no engano de fingir que sim... Isso é triste, pessoal: sintomático...
I love how you approach trying to get non-metaphysical answers out of Jordan: the hand-held camera example with Jesus, the police interview example here.
Alex O'Connor is truly one of the most brilliant minds there is in inelectualism today. Im a Christian saying this btw. The man is incredible. Love your stuff bro.
I saw this clip yesterday being used by a Christian channel. The comments were so supportive of Peterson. I just commented "Peterson is getting better at playing to his audience
Or maybe he takes Jesus’s injunction to heart not to pray in public and so he only admits his faith in God to his closest friends and never ever to the public at large via video for this very reason you ignorant goats
The moment JP says 'the truth of the matter is...' is him trying to take control of the discussion and steer it in another direction. When he has these big hand gestures and talking about 'historical and mythologically inextricably...' and then his theatrical 'there is no pulling out....' is the moment he wants to trigger his opponent. People without focus would be drawn into that. Good job in sticking to the point.
The is relativity... This was difference between a person alive and person dead. Of the sad occasion I had been involved in such it was more "why" than "what"
I honestly don't understand why people take Mr. Peterson serious. I am not a native English speaker, but he never actually says anything, although he is somehow articulating words. It's all a shilly-shally around.... 🤦🤷🏽
@@duderyandude9515his beliefs have been consistent. He acts as if god exists and when talking about religion comes from a psychological perspective because it’s most applicable to his background and is able to relate it to most people. This gotcha crap with beliefs systems is ridiculous. He said he suspected the physical resurrection would be objectively caught on camera. What more do you guys want? Try humbling your intellect and listening to him.
But that's not the question being asked, most of the people being annoyed at Peterson, even the Christians, simply asked "Do you think it is real/happened". They didn't ask "Do you know what it means", Peterson is so, in the words of Dawkins, "drunk on symbols" that he requires everyone engaging in biblical conversations to be concerned with the "metaphysical", which is his tactic to throw in a bunch of word salad that often irritates people.
@@davidnguyen4707 Isn't it a given that noone actually knows.. What good would it do for him to claim he knows/believes in a precise occurance? All he can do is study the text and extract what there is to extract. I don't understand the insistance of a simple yes or no answer... Why cannot he not express his nuanced understandings without being condemned. Try formulating a better question if you would like a more precise answer.
Even as a Christian I admire this guy as he is simply pursuing truth from his own viewpoint. Whether he is right or wrong in some of his views from what I have seen he seems genuine in his pursuit
@@logged.in.articulate what? Jordans nonsense is very obvious. The fact that MOSt of his own cronies can't even paraphrase him is evidence of that. That's why every JP supporter always just resorts to " you're just not as smart". Newsflash, a smart person can articulate themselves to supposedly dumb people. Teachers do this literally every day. We take complex concepts and boil them down for kids to understand. JP was an educator himself. And in those lectures (I've attended a few) he does pretty well. Now though, he just rambles nonsense and knows he will get paid.
If i wanted someone to belive some unprovable nonsense i said, id also go "extra creds to those that just belive it without being able to reliably verify it. If you need to check if its true to belive it, youre not cool"
Jesus’ actions and teachings appear through others. We try and replicate him, yet, it is incredibly hard. Everyone carries that ability to be like Christ. The world needs more compassion, and more people committed to putting others first. I’m just as guilty as everyone else, I need to work harder also.
I mean it kind of confuses me as to why Jordan can't be direct, why does he always have to speak in abstract terms? Why can't he answer a question as simple as "do you believe he rose from the dead?" Like that is scientifically impossible, he is deliberately trying to be ambiguous about his religious views
For a man that seeks out clarity almost to a banal degree, he sure does muddy the waters as much as possible when asked a direct question. He strikes me like an atheist that keeps it to himself because of his followers.

Jordan is an academic. He has no way of proving Jesus actually rose from an academic standpoint.
That and faith are two different things
@@el7284 Quit defending his obfuscation. He already stated that the camcorder would’ve probably captured Jesus walking out, so he already affirmed his belief in the literal definition of resurrection. Faith wasn’t being discussed.

Literally said he believes Jesus to be the fulfillment of the Old Testament law and prophets in this same interview.

@@shanesawyer5103nah, it’s skibidii fam on god fr fr 💯 crazy!!
@@shanesawyer5103 I understand the frustration, but Its obvious that some context is missing. this is like a 20 second video. Later in the video he goes on to say that the implciations of the only person presumably to ever rise from the dead under his own power, also claimed to be God, and also claimed to fulfil the oldest and most sacred law in that area, possibly the world, it is immense. Is the divine real? For all of human history we aren't sure, we are skeptical, for good reason! But here is some evidence, very good evidence mind you, that someone actually WAS divine, and not just divine, you could say THE Divine, so what does that mean to you, what does it mean to scociety, or ultimatley humanity? Its not a stretch to say its the most meaningful subject to ponder IF true. In my view its fair to say hey I supsect this might have happend, and I'm trying to wrap my head around the implications of that.
Alex O'Connor's intelligence is inspiring and mind-blowing to me
It is genuinely wild that he still does this. O'Connor basically walked his warbling ass right through to an explicit affirmation of the resurrection and he STILL said he wasn't sure. And people pay this dude to talk about religion!
He said yes
Then said he doesn't know what does that mean@@Al-aql
He's allowed to not be sure. He's not the pope
@@azmainfaiak8111 that's a different context as the question was different.It was as to why he didn't answer the question the same way he answered Alex.Now Alex was very precise and specific so no way to make it seem like an ambiguous question but the other questions (the one asked before) could be ambiguous. Honestly I do find the way he answers kind of weird as one could just take the probabilistic approach and assume the obvious and answer but he wasn't really evading the question once Alex specified.
@@Michael-vl7ey of course, but he did not say that which is exactly the problem. he refuses to stake out a position of either yes, no or i don't know and instead tries to be as ambiguous as possible
The question was did it happen, not what it means. You don't need to know what it means to relate what you believed to have happened factually
Perfect
Unless it means Jesus didn't actually die on the cross. Then he couldn't rise from the "dead".
That IS kind of important to know, to directly relate to what it means to me. Because if he didn't die on the cross, then *poof* no miracle. No religion 😊
The Panasonic camera idea is brilliant, but I have no idea... well, you get the idea.
I think that honestly answering that question would harm his brand. And that's why he refuses to actually answer it
He did actually answer it though, he said it would show on the screen, in his opinion.
I thought he would say, it depends on what you mean by screen, but he missed his chance there.
This is as close as I've seen him come to a direct answer. I think he knows he needs to nudge a bit closer for risk of losing his base
Once you’ve created a mystique around you as being a profound intellectual, you can then always say “but no one knows what that truly means!” To get out of any questions
It's so annoying, especially when he criticises the question like it's a trap or poorly worded. It doesn't matter how specific the question is he can always say he doesn't know what the definition of basic words is. This is why I loved the way Alex worded this question because if Jordan asked the definition of any of the words in the question, he would have looked even more stupid than he already did. I feel like Jordan can't just say, "I don't know." he has to use fancy words like "suspect."
Nothing here is unclear. What he says is perfectly in keeping with the belief that whether the bible is literally true or not, it contains deep truths and narrative truth.
And that believing in God is good for people, better than being atheist.
Crazily enough, if you know the strength of the arguments for Christianity, and the strength of arguments for Islam, and Atheism... you would be more aware of how any attempt to downplay the complexity of this situation is an offense
right wing lunatics afraid of real knowledge, don't get to create "mystique" around anyone so people need to stop handing over that power. In reality, this man is a joke.
@@TheZandBeast How is blindly accepting a model of reality better for people long-term than not doing so, i.e. keep learning and adjusting to new experiences?
It’s the foolproof epistemological escape plan
Alex specifying Panasonic as the brand of camera completely changed Jordan's answer.
Alex should be a politician because he can get others to answer questions.

As a Christian, this is a more profound response to this question than I have ever heard before. I think that so many people get caught up on did these things physically happen or not. But the answer that we don’t even know what it means regardless of it happening or not is actually such a humble, true response. I think we often make the mistake of trying to understand infinity. But we don’t know anything about death, clearly
Jordan gives me a goddamm headache. I've never seen a man say soooo much while simultaneously saying nothing.
There is a word for that: charlatan
Well, at least in this interview, I realized that he does have some really interesting ideas but it's made confusing because of his egregious rhetorical skills
Try Megan Markle 😂
Sounds to me that Jordan doesn't want to commit to an answer. This way he can keep both old and new followers entertained.
Well said. Still, he's got some great insights on many topics. Better than watching Keeping up with the Kardashians lol

@@EvenGodsDie wtf are you talking about
I think Peterson is being incredibly honest and I appreciate his honesty. I appreciate Peterson wanting to understand what he is asserting to be true and why it’s important to really understand what is true. I could very easily be wrong but I think he may need to separate the two questions: Did Jesus walk out of that tomb? If he did what does that mean? I think the first question is vitally important to the whole world. I think the second question is vitally important to those who call Christ their Lord.
There were a few times in this where JP said something along the lines of “I’m convinced that it’s true, but I have no idea what it means”. I genuinely don’t understand how you can be convinced of the truth of something you have no idea about.
“I 100% agree with you, but I don’t know what you mean,”
Sheesh 🙄 😂
It's because he doesn't want to change his lifestyle. If he admits he's a Christian of the living God then he couldn't stay in his sin
If he just said I don't know, or I find faith on that part difficult I could respect him, instead his answer is hollow and disingenuous
i agree with you, but i still don't understand what you mean.

@@harrys2912 I'd rather not have any delusions, even if that means less meaning for me, thank you.
Peterson doing an excellent job of demonstrating why so many people find their experience with religion to be frustrating and pointless. Everything is fine until you start asking certain pointed questions, at which point you can either stop asking and simply accept, or give up and walk away.
Classical JP, when he doesn't know how/wants to answer a question he goes around in circles until everybody is bored to death
I think he only acts like this when it comes to Christianity considering he’s a conservative and wouldn’t want to admit atheism. Feel free to disagree
It's like he wants to leave room for the idea that Jesus rising from the grave was an illusion or myth without actually saying it.
But then again implies it had important meaning. Its such a mess
Alex is asking two seemingly similar questions, but actually different, which is important to note.
Q1: Would the camera show a man walk out of the tomb?
Q2: Did Jesus rise from the dead?
#1 - Could have been another man. Could have been Jesus who was recovered from seemingly mortal wounds (remember when there bells on tombstones/coffins because humans were burying living people who were pronounced dead?). Could have been Jesus risen from the dead.
#2- How can someone rise from the dead? It defies what we understand.
I enjoy listening to both of these speakers, and I don't see a need to side with one over the other. Doesn't have to be "us vs them".
Its difficult for me to even imagine someone more weasely and waffley than Jordan Peterson
With a panasonic camera yes,
but with a sony camera no
Canon camera: I suspect Yes.
Sony is post modernist
Hear me out. Fuji film camera!
they came up with the idea of kids trying to catch a greased piglet at the State Fair after watching a Jordan Peterson video
"I have no idea what that means..."
He seems to think that gives his points MORE weight, not LESS.
Such Socrates, much Plato. Oh, me say me not know, that's why smart
Or maybe he doesn't want to confirm anything because he is actually saying what he's thinking.
I hate this aspect of Peterson so much. This is one aspect when he's very clearly "grifting" as the kids say. He's well aware that many of the people that buy his books, attend his speeches, and pay for other things are Christian and he doesn't wanna lose them.
@marchingnight2742 if that's true, then Peterson is a coward

I feel sorry for Alex, trying to get a straight answer out of Jorbanson is like trying to nail jelly (Jello) to the wall
THE INCREDULITY OF Saint Thomas.
Thomas is commonly known as "Doubting Thomas" because he initially doubted the resurrection of Jesus Christ when he was told of it (as is related in the Gospel of John); he later confessed his faith ("My lord and my God") on seeing the places where the wounds had healed on the holy body of Jesus after the Crucifixion
This cosmic sceptic guy was the perfect person to call Jordan out. Does it in such a calm composed way. Dawkins was also good in his interview with Peterson but in a more hilarious way

Absolute sophist.
He will believe whatever is strategically viable yo believe in any given moment.
it's especially annoying when alex is just trying to find out his actual view on something and he's so unnecessarily combative
Or maybe he takes Jesus’s injunction to heart not to pray in public and so he only admits his faith in God to his closest friends and never ever to the public at large via video for this very reason you ignorant goats
Yet more evasive word salad.
Evasive word salad… masquerading as, well…. something else.
The moment JP says 'the truth of the matter is...' is him trying to take control of the discussion and steer it in another direction. When he has these big hand gestures and talking about 'historical and mythologically inextricably...' and then his theatrical 'there is no pulling out....' is the moment he wants to trigger his opponent.
People without focus would be drawn into that. Good job in sticking to the point.

But that's not the question being asked, most of the people being annoyed at Peterson, even the Christians, simply asked "Do you think it is real/happened". They didn't ask "Do you know what it means", Peterson is so, in the words of Dawkins, "drunk on symbols" that he requires everyone engaging in biblical conversations to be concerned with the "metaphysical", which is his tactic to throw in a bunch of word salad that often irritates people.

Like that is scientifically impossible, he is deliberately trying to be ambiguous about his religious views
The answer is obviously that Joseph of Arimathea did NOT rise from the dead and neither did anyone else.
Every time I hear Peterson speak, I just feel that RDJ epic eye roll coming on.
The resurrection is where history becomes supernatural. A literal miracle. The vindication of Christ.
Peterson: "I don't know what it means to not be dead or to be alive." ... basically.
Just answer the *freaking* question!
