Meh, its just making their delusions stronger, as they think they have discovered secret that rest dont know, or believe and this way they get their daily dosage of endorphin.. essentially they are total fucking junkies, high on delusions... For this reason its really hard to get them stop it, getting junkie into rehab is really hard task and things get even worse when you realize that almost all of the religious folk are junkies to their particular death cult also...
Reason1717 Well... he's not American, is he? I mean, I'm a teacher in Sweden. When we have religion as the subject I'm being questioned by the kids (10-12 year olds) why they have to learn about something that doesn't exist. XD And I tend to say that it's important to know and understand what a lot of other people believe in and take as actual facts and how to be respectful and understanding when you meet them. And that it has shaped our history a lot.
Buddy3439 That's how it is in Sweden. :) We teach about all of the five biggest religions, but we never claim them as facts. But point out that it's important to know about them to understand people who do believe and to respect it. Some find it very interesting, some boring and unnecessary... but what can I do. :P Many are astonished by the fact that there are so many religions in the world and want to learn more. For their sake I give a little extra about taoism, scientology, nature religions etc etc. Just to show how much there is in the world.
I'm a Roman Catholic and your videos have helped me criticize and analyze the Faith. I've become more analytical and more intelligent. Thanks m8; congratulations on 50,000 subscribers.
Man, I'm not in your demographic (59 yrs old) but you give me hope, I'm fed up with the people of my generation who disparage the young as unthinking. More power to you wee brother.
Graham Smith Sending a last of the Boomers ^5 your way. I've got to agree, you are wonderfull Akex. Keep up at it and you may be your generation's Sam H. or Dan D. However long you're here on RUclips I'll enjoy watching.
I am 66 years old and think you are brilliant. Never let those less intelligent sway you with their jealous insults and rants. For the weak mind it is easier to believe the propaganda, fear, and lies then to acknowledge scientific, common sense truth. I see you have 148 thousand subscribers now! Well done! Keep up the great intelligent and witty videos. Oh! and in my opinion the set of drawers is very artistic and unique. I love it! Keep up being unique and thinking for yourself. If only more people would seek the truth of things then just following the crazy pied pipers out there leading all to their doom. The sad part is they will take unfortunate innocents with them.
@fynes leigh a reasonable man wouldn't bother to say such an unbelievably rediculse statement. But a irellavent loquacious "man" would probably say something like that.
I didn't know you were only 17. I thought you were probably at least 19 or 20 simply because you are so beyond your years. You have helped me alot. Thank you for all you do.

only half bad 333 ikr... it's so dumb. these hate comments are stupid. imma quote tfs dbz abridged freeza "That's stupid! You're stupid! Stop being stupid!" no offense intended
I have once witnessed someone in the commentsection of a scishow video who was an atheist but didn't believe in evolution. I don't even understand how that's supposed to work.
+chiller miller Well, "atheist" just means "not holding a belief in a god/gods". One can be an atheist and still don't believe in evolution. That is called "a stupid atheist" ;)
Yes but I don't get how you can, if you don't believe in creation, not believe in evolution. As far as I know there is no third option of how stuff exists. How can someone see no flaw in the believe that ' there is no creator, therefor nothing was created by a creator, but also things don't change over time to explain how existence is now'. also ;) back at you my dude :^)
Some stupid heads think that aliens brought us and all the animals and plants on this planet in the form we are today as part of a science project...or something... There are a lot of stupid people who can't live with reality and so, even if they don't believe in a god, they do believe some other stupid bs... That is one thing I heard an atheist say in a video.
Nowhere did you describe what kinds of topics they cover. It might help to do that. It might help to describe the personality of the channel. How do you know them? All we see of them here is that they're goofballs! LOL
Alex, you are a great youtuber and a testament to the youth of tomorrow and the intellectuals of the world, willing to think logically, and dismiss the bullshit that ruled society for thousands of years. Not to mention fighting against your own personal indoctrination. Keep up the fantastic work and i would love to collaborate with you when i finally persuade my lazy arse to make a proper RUclips channel.
CosmicSkeptic please look into the work of Dr Carl Hart, look into Czech and Portuguese drug policies and compare them to Americas, and a do video either in support or against the war on Drugs, if you are interested in that sort of thing, which I figure you might be since it's science and politics, me personally I've came to the conclusion that entire way we handle drugs here in the states is counter productive.
The German Sweater They're in the video "Why I, as an atheist, am afraid of hell", for one (I'm not sure if they're in other videos). And I think they look really cool, apparently a lot of other people disagree.
I have to admit I didn't expect that. There were far more people interested in woodworking and carpentry craftsmanship that follow you than I had imagined.
Just wanted to say that I am one of the people that feel your concepts are pretty spot on. Your intelligence is quite evident and your skepticism and motivation to research reality speaks quite well of your ideology. I commend you for putting your ideas to a public forum knowing full they may be ridiculed by those with narrow and limited viewpoints of reality and your ability to laugh at said ridicule in such a humorous manner says much for your humility. I appreciate your videos for their rationality and lack of hostility. Too many on both sides of this debate have tendencies to become quite agitated and aggressive. It is refreshing to see another level headed individual using logic and reason to support their message not just how loudly and ignorantly they can yell. Thank you for taking time to share your views with us.
Okay. I've just found your channel; I'm an Italian girl, and I really enjoy your videos. I totally agree with your opinions and, besides your beliefs, you have great speech skills, and I would listen to you for hours. Also, I noticed that you are really mature for your age, and I observed you being SO prepared when it comes to sustain your ideas. Thank you for making this channel and having this powerful personality. (Sorry for my bad English, I'm 16 and I still learning it at school. I swear I can write much better in Italian :3) P.s. I like the drawers :')
I'm listening to your interview with Hemant Mehta on the Friendly Atheist. I hadn't come across you before. I'm looking forward to watching your videos. Congrats on 50k subscribers and greetings from a 52 year old atheist in Australia mate.
Kaitlyn Dye I completely agree with what you said in your comment. However the right word would have been "person" instead of "people" & I am terribly sorry if I was rude initially
confederate knight Oh no! I'm referring to the other guys too! His friends from Swish who are in the video and reading the comments! No problem, I guess we were just both confused with each other!
Congrats on 50k. You earned it. And congrats on having great friends who don't hesitate to take the piss out of you. Repeatedly. Those are the ones that will stick with you through thick and thin.
Hats off, for a guy just 17 years old you more clever than the most out there. Iam really impressed of the quick answering about some really dificult topics. go on, great job.
Hi Alex, I'm very sorry that the lower half of the Internet escaped their cells to deliver such a deluge of hate towards you. It truly is amazing how so many people who hate you spend hours watching your channel. As a Humanist I don't spend any time on religious channels, but guess these spectrums of humanity need to vent their uneducated anger and frustrations of things they can't comprehend at someone such as yourself. Your delivery is entertaining, you're are factual, researched, informed and logical. You place a comprehensive argument on all your videos (that I've seen so far) understand fallacies and science. I truly wish more younger people would follow your example, look around at the obvious world surrounding them, and moved forwards with an informed understanding. Great work!
I loved your friends in this. Even though every time I watch this I want to know what you wanted to say about the shape of the earth looking like an egg. :( I'm just shocked that I'm older than you and you're so much smarter. I should probably read some more books on these topics.
jimmy joe ...it actually looks like a perfect sphere because the amount that it is wider is not discernible by looking at it. Although it is definitely not a perfect sphere, you would never know that by looking at it.
I'm actually shocked by the lack of personal insults and profane language you received. Dude, you are going to have to try harder before 100,000 when you do another one of these. Richard Dawkins gets *way* more colourful insults....
I notice how it always tends to be that... The people commenting negatively on the intelligence of others... Are usually the dumbest people imaginable...
Feel like a total perv for thinking you're cute now since I'm 27... I kinda assumed 19... which now that I think about it is still pervy. Anyway, cool videos!
You come across as just the way I felt 20 years ago, and I got exhausted. It's as relevant now as it ever was then , but you communicate what I can only articulate. So, thank you.
I don't remember the drawers in question. I was too busy listening to what you had to say. I've always said my beliefs or the lack thereof was a bit unorthodox and I enjoy hearing what you have to say. You are obviously more learned than I and your information enlightens me on my journey to the truth.
Dear CosmicSkeptic, I have a reoccurring issue. As of late, my lovely Christian parents have been referring to me as blasphemous for believing in creation, evolution, and the big bang. In my mind, it actually makes sense for one like myself who is also religious but loves science. I've been watching your videos despite being a Christian myself and I honestly enjoy them. I want to know what your thoughts are. Is it blasphemous to embrace both religious and scientific philosophys? Do you think that it is possible for all three to have occurred?
LOL, how is that blasphemous? Ooh, she believes 2+2=4, burn her! Most educated Christian leaders/thinkers accept the theory of evolution and also our understanding of the physical universe, such as the Big Bang theory. Check out, for example, William Lane Craig, Rowan Williams or John Lennox. On the other hand, those theories seem to have a more solid foundation than the "God hypothesis", so your parents are probably concerned that once you start thinking in a scientific way and question things, you will end up discarding your faith.
aditsu I agree it is absolutely ridiculous that they say things like that but they do and I have to put up with it till I'm 18. I'm 17 years old so it's not that far away. I haven't done a whole lot of research on the possibility but I wanted to ask CosmicSkeptic anyhow.
Becca Sullenberger Of course it is ridiculous that you should have to endure such treatment from those who ought to be encouraging you. It is one of the most common tactics amongst Christians to point out the religious leanings of the many scientists responsible for the various theories you cite. Perhaps you should turn that around on them if you haven't already. Also, there's an excellent science channel on RUclips called "Smarter Every Day" which I highly recommend if you aren't already aware of it. The owner, Destin, is not only a believer but ends every video with a quote from the Bible. His faith obviously doesn't conflict with his great interest in science. Again, you could perhaps point this out to your parents. Cheers
I was raised in a very religious family, my father is a pastor, I went to a bible college, I know the ins and outs of christianity better than a lot of christians do. But I'm an atheist. I had to endure similar treatment from my family when they found out, so I understand how you may feel. That being said, It seems your family is rather fundamentalist in their beliefs so when it comes to reasoning with them it may not be possible. It is however possible that a god could have created the universe, but unfortunately that is something we will never be able to fully prove or disprove for that matter. The matter of blasphemy really comes down to interpretation of genesis and wether or not you believe things happened exactly as it says, or if there is room for play because the events happened so long before the book was written. There is also the matter that the bible is supposed to be the inspired word of god meaning god gave the words to the people writing it. For some people contradicting anything stated in the bible is blasphemous. Different interpretations is what sparked the protestant reformation and why there are so many denominations. It is a question in which both answers are correct depending on where you look. It is for those exact reasons I am no longer a christian, the bible claims you must live by faith, but it was written by men, but also claim they were inspired by god. So you must have faith that god spoke to these men in order to have faith that god is real. To me it just screams human action, and we see similar ideas in almost every other religion I.e. the divine know best so therefore we must have faith.
I'm sorry you've had to deal with this. I'm 15 and an agnostic atheist (I don't know if there's a god, and I choose to believe there isn't, if clarification was needed). My mom is a liberal fundamental Adventist, who is so devout in her beliefs that she gets upset when Dad and I have non-vegetarian food. However, my mom is much more accepting of my beliefs (and sexuality, which was an incredible relief) than most fundamentalists, even though she doesn't understand them on a scientific or faith-based level, and the youth group at my church (I still go sometimes) is usually glad to have honest debate. I hope you can find people who are willing to listen, as I have.
Thank you for the clip of the drawers in the video today, I was missing the drawers. If I hadn't seen them in this episode I don't know if I could have smiled for the rest of the day.
A bit over a year later, and your 50K subscriber count is now up to 165K. I've watched (and enjoyed) a number of these videos, and had not noticed the chest of drawers. Now I'm curious, and will look for it. All becasue so many commenters made a not of it, either for or against. As for Swish, they've gone past your 1,000 subscriber goal and are now at 2495, so well done, at least to the extent that you helped get them there.
I've just discovered your channel a few days ago and I have been mentally devouring your videos! I've only been an Atheist for about a year now so I really appreciate the knowledge you are giving me. Keep up the good work and stay awesome! BTW I love the chest of drawers! XD
Have you ever wondered if flat earth believers are angered every time they see the beginning of a movie by Universal Studios?
Meh, its just making their delusions stronger, as they think they have discovered secret that rest dont know, or believe and this way they get their daily dosage of endorphin.. essentially they are total fucking junkies, high on delusions...

Iam really impressed of the quick answering about some really dificult topics.
go on, great job.
Alex is taking the baton from the great four horsemen. This is the new generation of free thinking, brilliant human beings. Love you boy, keep it up!
Love your family name Boris.
Hi Alex, I'm very sorry that the lower half of the Internet escaped their cells to deliver such a deluge of hate towards you. It truly is amazing how so many people who hate you spend hours watching your channel. As a Humanist I don't spend any time on religious channels, but guess these spectrums of humanity need to vent their uneducated anger and frustrations of things they can't comprehend at someone such as yourself. Your delivery is entertaining, you're are factual, researched, informed and logical. You place a comprehensive argument on all your videos (that I've seen so far) understand fallacies and science. I truly wish more younger people would follow your example, look around at the obvious world surrounding them, and moved forwards with an informed understanding. Great work!
congrats and member may logic be with you always my friend
I loved your friends in this. Even though every time I watch this I want to know what you wanted to say about the shape of the earth looking like an egg. :(
I'm just shocked that I'm older than you and you're so much smarter. I should probably read some more books on these topics.
It's looks like and "egg" because as the earth rotates around the axis the centrifugal force around the equator causes it to bulge slightly.
jimmy joe ...it actually looks like a perfect sphere because the amount that it is wider is not discernible by looking at it. Although it is definitely not a perfect sphere, you would never know that by looking at it.
Your comedic timing is spot on, combined with that deadpan delivery had me in stitches!
Also I'm something like 73K too late here :P
Where's the drawer
I'm actually shocked by the lack of personal insults and profane language you received. Dude, you are going to have to try harder before 100,000 when you do another one of these. Richard Dawkins gets *way* more colourful insults....
In which video can i find these infamous drawers ?
"Why I, as an atheist, am afraid of hell"
I went searching lol. They're in "Why I, as an atheist, am afraid of hell"
I respect a man who can laugh at himself.
Well Done.
Just watched this... congrats on 151K subscribers! :D
I notice how it always tends to be that... The people commenting negatively on the intelligence of others... Are usually the dumbest people imaginable...
Feel like a total perv for thinking you're cute now since I'm 27... I kinda assumed 19... which now that I think about it is still pervy. Anyway, cool videos!
That doesn't make it better...
He is cute tho
I thought he was 19, 20 as well. I'm 22 and feeling like a pedo.
@@hachiko576 heheheh saaaame, I'm 20 right now and I felt like a monster. He should be 18 by now tho 😅
Hi Im 14 and I also tought he was older
Now going to look through older videos so I can see drawers.
Can your next video please be your opinion on the following:
- Agnosticism
- Deism
- Pantheism
I’m new to your channel and went back to what drawers people were talking about. I like them.
You come across as just the way I felt 20 years ago, and I got exhausted. It's as relevant now as it ever was then , but you communicate what I can only articulate. So, thank you.
"Tell him I don't swing that way"
😂
now I am going to rewatch some videos just to see those drawers... I never noticed
I still refuse to believe that flat earthers are being serious.
Ngl the subtle acting at certain points in this video are masterfully done.
I don't remember the drawers in question. I was too busy listening to what you had to say. I've always said my beliefs or the lack thereof was a bit unorthodox and I enjoy hearing what you have to say. You are obviously more learned than I and your information enlightens me on my journey to the truth.
Nice job!
Btw, where did you get your drawers?
Why aren't the draws in this video?
7:38 That’s what you took from that, Alex? 😂 I love your videos.
You are brilliant and I'm so excited to see where you end up in even 5 years. All my support!!
You should post more videos like this. I enjoy watching your laid back side.
If it makes you feel better I love the drawers
*I like how he's in front of a target.*
Dear CosmicSkeptic,
I have a reoccurring issue. As of late, my lovely Christian parents have been referring to me as blasphemous for believing in creation, evolution, and the big bang. In my mind, it actually makes sense for one like myself who is also religious but loves science. I've been watching your videos despite being a Christian myself and I honestly enjoy them.
I want to know what your thoughts are. Is it blasphemous to embrace both religious and scientific philosophys? Do you think that it is possible for all three to have occurred?
LOL, how is that blasphemous? Ooh, she believes 2+2=4, burn her!
Most educated Christian leaders/thinkers accept the theory of evolution and also our understanding of the physical universe, such as the Big Bang theory. Check out, for example, William Lane Craig, Rowan Williams or John Lennox. On the other hand, those theories seem to have a more solid foundation than the "God hypothesis", so your parents are probably concerned that once you start thinking in a scientific way and question things, you will end up discarding your faith.

I agree it is absolutely ridiculous that they say things like that but they do and I have to put up with it till I'm 18. I'm 17 years old so it's not that far away. I haven't done a whole lot of research on the possibility but I wanted to ask CosmicSkeptic anyhow.

Of course it is ridiculous that you should have to endure such treatment from those who ought to be encouraging you.
It is one of the most common tactics amongst Christians to point out the religious leanings of the many scientists responsible for the various theories you cite. Perhaps you should turn that around on them if you haven't already.
Also, there's an excellent science channel on RUclips called "Smarter Every Day" which I highly recommend if you aren't already aware of it. The owner, Destin, is not only a believer but ends every video with a quote from the Bible.
His faith obviously doesn't conflict with his great interest in science. Again, you could perhaps point this out to your parents.
Cheers
I was raised in a very religious family, my father is a pastor, I went to a bible college, I know the ins and outs of christianity better than a lot of christians do. But I'm an atheist. I had to endure similar treatment from my family when they found out, so I understand how you may feel.
That being said, It seems your family is rather fundamentalist in their beliefs so when it comes to reasoning with them it may not be possible. It is however possible that a god could have created the universe, but unfortunately that is something we will never be able to fully prove or disprove for that matter.
The matter of blasphemy really comes down to interpretation of genesis and wether or not you believe things happened exactly as it says, or if there is room for play because the events happened so long before the book was written. There is also the matter that the bible is supposed to be the inspired word of god meaning god gave the words to the people writing it. For some people contradicting anything stated in the bible is blasphemous. Different interpretations is what sparked the protestant reformation and why there are so many denominations. It is a question in which both answers are correct depending on where you look.
It is for those exact reasons I am no longer a christian, the bible claims you must live by faith, but it was written by men, but also claim they were inspired by god. So you must have faith that god spoke to these men in order to have faith that god is real. To me it just screams human action, and we see similar ideas in almost every other religion I.e. the divine know best so therefore we must have faith.
I'm sorry you've had to deal with this. I'm 15 and an agnostic atheist (I don't know if there's a god, and I choose to believe there isn't, if clarification was needed). My mom is a liberal fundamental Adventist, who is so devout in her beliefs that she gets upset when Dad and I have non-vegetarian food. However, my mom is much more accepting of my beliefs (and sexuality, which was an incredible relief) than most fundamentalists, even though she doesn't understand them on a scientific or faith-based level, and the youth group at my church (I still go sometimes) is usually glad to have honest debate. I hope you can find people who are willing to listen, as I have.
Thank you for the clip of the drawers in the video today, I was missing the drawers. If I hadn't seen them in this episode I don't know if I could have smiled for the rest of the day.
That was an utter splendid video but I really missed the Drawer in it.
How many likes can Alex's beautiful draws get
All of them
"How to count past infinity"
As much as beautiful Alex xoxo 😉😂🤣😍😘😗😙😚lols
Hi,
I'm here to purchase the psychedelic drawers.
'Sincerely
me
It's a shame no one asked you about the drawers
You really are completely adorable - and fricken' brilliant. Your Mum must be so proud. I'm enjoying your videos.
Freaking hilarious! 🤣
This was SO good! I hope you do another one like this again.
"cosmicskeptic drawers" is the second result when you google his channel
1:45
That's a Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference
Is that Chest of Drawers still for sale?
A bit over a year later, and your 50K subscriber count is now up to 165K. I've watched (and enjoyed) a number of these videos, and had not noticed the chest of drawers. Now I'm curious, and will look for it. All becasue so many commenters made a not of it, either for or against. As for Swish, they've gone past your 1,000 subscriber goal and are now at 2495, so well done, at least to the extent that you helped get them there.
I've just discovered your channel a few days ago and I have been mentally devouring your videos! I've only been an Atheist for about a year now so I really appreciate the knowledge you are giving me. Keep up the good work and stay awesome! BTW I love the chest of drawers! XD
He was 17 in this video... so he is 20ish now... okay I feel fine having a crush on him phew
Same
7:44 "huh 69" now i believe you are 17 lol.
So... about that drawer?
Don't know what Chester drawers everyone's talking about, but you made a considerable contribution to Skeptism & for that I thank you.
