I've always found it strange when callers who claim to be fans of AXP get taken aback by the hosts' use of profanity. Also, when a "fan" says that they have seen the show before but somehow forget how much the hosts detest being interrupted or talked over by the caller. As for this caller, I wouldn't be surprised if he called back into the show, as some repeat callers seem to have a penchant for punishment.
To me it's not strange,it's sad Because,this isn't the only one, It's evolution,and the fact that this is the state of our species, Not only was this caller unable Understand how wrong and uninformed he was, He could not immediately adapt and accept that he was wrong and completely abandon his erroronus viewpoint, Which is also true of virtually every caller of this kind Nor can the two very reasonable male atheist call takers and their supporting i.e fellow (although surely females included but by a lesser percentage?) Effectively convince the caller that viewpoint is wrong and should be abandoned . It's a species wide gender biased limitation rendering most attempts at rational dialogue between a atheist and a religious person, An exercise in futility. However I place my hope in evolution, maybe one day we will better.
Given the amount of ego and messy thinking of such repeat callers, they might be operating under sunk cost fallacy, hoping to save face and recover lost ego as much as possible. “What have I got to lose? They already made a fool of me, and I’m sure I’ll be able to make a fool of them with my flawless thinking, some day!” Perhaps a little Dunning-Kruger, as well.

Either God exists or the origins of Life popped into existence because of a non intelligent occurrence. Neither one of these things were proven with empirical evidence but one of those things are true. Every civilization we have ever come across came to the same conclusion of a Creator or no civilization came to the conclusion they were the result of a non intelligent occurrence rather than a creator. That's evidence of God being an instinctive thought and or a logical conclusion, which justifies the belief in God. If there's an atheist that believes the origins of Life came into existence because of a non intelligent occurrence rather than the Creator than provide that evidence. Otherwise I don't know what the problem is, is an atheist arguing that something isn't justified believing unless it's proven with empirical evidence. Do you believe there's a life in the deep sea that we've never witnessed before microscopic organisms or otherwise. I believe there is, I don't have empirical evidence to prove it but it's logical to believe.
I don't know why atheists refuse to admit that atheism is a biased position. The atheist will claim the belief in God is ridiculous because it's not proven with physical evidence. Yet the atheist with no physical evidence will crossdress and mutilate their children because of a faith-based belief about the children having the wrong brain in their body. The atheist will make claims like God doesn't exist God's a fairytale and then when you ask the atheist to prove it the atheist will shift the burden of proof and tell me that I have to prove God exist to disprove their claim that God doesn't exist. The atheist again will say God doesn't exist God Is a fairytale and then if I ask the atheist if he believes the origins of Life came into existence without God and if he does to please provide evidence to why he believes it the atheist will never do it. The atheist won't even answer the question. And again The atheist will try to shift the burden of proof.
@@oscarmudd6579 that sounds more like the atheist humanist left.

According to Timothy Jay, a psychology professor at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and a long-time researcher of cursing, the benefits of swearing have only come to light in the past two decades due to advancements in brain and emotional research, as well as improved brain anatomy study methods. Swearing Holds Surprising Benefits: A Sign Of Intelligence? Surprisingly, studies have shown that well-educated people with a wide range of words at their disposal are better at producing curse words than those with less verbal fluency. This suggests a correlation between language ability and intelligence. In addition, swearing can also be associated with social intelligence, as it requires knowing when and where it's appropriate to use such language, similar to choosing the right outfit for a specific occasion. A Potential Indicator Of Honesty The examination has found an optimistic link between profanity and honesty. People who swear are perceived to be more honest in their expression of emotions. Although, it's essential to note that this doesn't imply that frequent use of profanity necessarily means higher ethical behavior. Pain Tolerance And Swearing Swearing has been shown to improve tolerance toward pain. Studies show that people who swear while participating in physically demanding tasks exhibit more power and strength than those who use neutral language. Furthermore, cursing can reduce the perception of pain; for instance, individuals who swear while submerging their hands in icy water experienced less discomfort and were able to keep their hands submerged for longer periods. Cursing initiates an emotional response that triggers a stress reaction, leading to a pain reduction. Swearing Holds Surprising Benefits: A Sign Of Creativity? Remarkably, cursing seems to be more centered in the right side of the brain, often referred to as the "creative brain." Patients who have experienced strokes on the right side of the brain tend to swear less, suggesting a connection between swearing and creativity. Swearing may serve as a form of remote aggression, allowing individuals to express their emotions without resorting to physical harm. By using strong language, people can efficiently convey their emotional state to others. The Universal Nature of Swearing Swearing is a nearly universal phenomenon across different languages and cultures. The power of offensive words lies in their ability to cause discomfort to others, making them effective tools for emotional expression. Even members of the monkey family have been observed using their excrement as a social signal, similar to cursing among humans. Despite these fresh benefits, it's crucial to remember that context matters. While swearing might have its advantages, it should still be used judiciously, considering the environment and the feelings of those around us. After all, swearing, in the end, is just a human way of expressing emotions.

It is a interesting exercise to consider which would likely lead to greater evolutionary change: an immortal species or one that dies due to an aging process. It might be concluded that a species whose members age and die would free up resources for successive generations, where as an immortal species would suffer a competitive environment between existing fully mature members and their offspring.
Caller constantly sounds like he just woke up from a nap 5 seconds ago. That bodes well... And then he went on demonstrating his lack of knowledge in a myriad of areas that he should have learned about in school. Tragic...
An example of an accepted truth without direct evidence - “Pluto will eventually complete a solar orbit”. We haven’t observed it but it’s accepted as true.
I would have liked him to define over population. I'd typically see it as when we can't produce enough food for everyone. Or housing. Water. Oxygen. Scarcity is a huge element of over population. But if there's no death that means we don't have to eat, drink water, breathe. We could swim to the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean and the pressure wouldn't kill us. So in what sense could over population ever be a thing if death wasn't a thing?
It's fine to see another intelligent, literate, moral Christian putting a pleasant, rational face on Christianity with golden nuggets of precisely stated wisdom. LOL
You can't have "if everything remained the same but we didn't have death" Not having death is already not "the same" - we have no idea how the world would look like, in this case regarding technological advancement, if the population was that much bigger. Would we be far more or far less advanced? We don't know.
The caller, the entire conversation: "This is not playing out the way I imagined it in my head.. Y4 he ask questions? Y4 he not just accept my imaginary points?"
Special pleading stacked on incredulity stacked on ignorance stacked on and hominems stacked on goal post shifting.... It's fallacies aaaaaaaaaalllllllll the way down.
In this type of conversation where the question of evidence is dodged, I think it is useful to ask if the person himself thinks that he himself could be brought from a position on non-belief to a position of belief on this matter. What argument would he himself find compelling? If the person admits to believing this thing solely because he has prior belief in this thing, then we are both in agreement.
He was trying to construct an argument that would lead to the conclusion that a conscious being created the universe, and he started talking about birds and other stuff, which did nothing at all to lead to that conclusion. And then he got upset when they kept interrupting to correct him.
the word "laws" is commonly confusing in the context of Natural laws vs court laws. for natural laws instead it might be more practical to say "a description and analysis of natural phenomena" , since while that is a mouthful it clearly removes any list of rules governing the actions of the physical world.
Snakes still have hip joints to this day, a precursor of one of their evilutionary ancestors that they were brought up from. Thats not evolutionary "advantage" or "disadvantage", least so far as I know with my limited knowledge of serpent biology and how they have evolved from other reptiles. There are such things as benign changes in speciation and adaptation which are influenced by as many factors as what determines "advantage/disadvantage"
If GOD does not require a creator for its intelligence than by extension hes just proved that you dont need a precursor for intelligence and that it just is in some cases. Therefore the universe can be viewed the same way and there is no "must be a god" to fill in that gap in reasoning. If god doesnt necessarily require explanation than neither does the universe.
Yup, God has no explanatory powers. God being described as "having no source for anything and just is", then the universe can be described just the same.
The reason for death is cellular decay. The reason for cellular decay is evolution, in that there are creatures who can overcome cellular decay. Turritopsis dohrnii, the immortal jellyfish, is considered possibly immortal. It is believed they achieve this by resetting their cellular lives to earlier forms. Humans may be able to overcome death if we can achieve this cellular reset. It seems such would completely change what we consider the physical biological human being.
Reason for death being intelligent is somewhat tautological anyway, you're assuming there's a reason for death in order to insinuate the intelligence behind the universe. Intelligibility is indicative of the anthropic principle, we can make "sense" of things even if they aren't really so
He got it backwards anyway. Sex and other forms of procreation exist as a means to cheat death. That doesn't necessarily means that forms of self replication wouldn't exist, but it would eventually be limited by the amount of space and resources available. That being said, if you take death out of the equation, not only is there no reason to assume that only self replicating life would exist, but there's also no reason to assume that any life would exist at all. Without death as a filter would complex molecules like DNA and RNA even exist in the first place? Yes, removing death now would be detrimental, but that isn't what he was arguing. He was essentially trying to argue that death was introduced after life was created as a means of control when in actuality the processes that create death have always existed. Life had to adapt to death, not the other way around.
Why do you all insist on arguing with people who insist the Earth is flat and the Tooth Fairy is real? "To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.” - THOMAS PAINE (1737 - 1809) English-born U.S. Founding Father, French Revolutionary, inventor, and political philosopher.

"would you also agree that we did now will ourselves adaptive advantages?" Yeah but that is very close to changing... And actually, there's an argument to be made, that we have in fact been willing ourselves adaptive advantages for a very, very long time through constructs such as social engineering, beauty standards, etc. As Humans, we have indeed influenced our own evolutionary course, although not always consciously or deliberately. For example, the development of agriculture about 10,000 years ago marked a significant shift in human lifestyle, leading to changes in diet, settlement patterns and social structures. These changes in turn had *evolutionary consequences* such as the emergence of genes related to lactose tolerance and adaptations to sedentary lifestyles. So, in conclusion, Human innovation and cultural practices (some of them willed) have contributed to our evolutionary journey.
Birds in general, including raptors, usually have a greater spectrum of visible colour than humans. I can't think of a metric where birds in general and especially raptors, don't have us beat in terms of vision.

The problem with forrest is he also has made horrifically fallacious arguements, when speaking about trans people men who become women if they can get pregnant he used the "well male seahorses can get pregnant" knowing we arent seahorses...... And no matter how you feel about the trans subject men cant get pregnant without HEAVY intervention, where as women just can in general, now i await the exceptions to be used as if theyre the rule....

Because god's plan was there wouldn't be death.
That would mean there would be 100+ billion humans on this tiny dot, let alone a multitude of the current amount of animals.
This whole call is like when you ask someone "why does it rain?", and they respond with "Because water is wet."

It is a interesting exercise to consider which would likely lead to greater evolutionary change: an immortal species or one that dies due to an aging process.
It might be concluded that a species whose members age and die would free up resources for successive generations, where as an immortal species would suffer a competitive environment between existing fully mature members and their offspring.
Ecosystems would reach an equilibrium..food being the primary driver...and space to populate

Watching the show today reminds me how innocent we were in 2019.
I would have liked him to define over population. I'd typically see it as when we can't produce enough food for everyone. Or housing. Water. Oxygen. Scarcity is a huge element of over population. But if there's no death that means we don't have to eat, drink water, breathe. We could swim to the bottom of the deepest part of the ocean and the pressure wouldn't kill us. So in what sense could over population ever be a thing if death wasn't a thing?
Level 1 theists: “Why won’t you let me build my fantasy world so that my ridiculous premise makes sense?”

"A. Radical" is a personification of the "puddle-analogy".

Re-define till it fits!
This guy came in with a "script" written in crayon and got his mind blown
You can't have "if everything remained the same but we didn't have death"
Not having death is already not "the same" - we have no idea how the world would look like, in this case regarding technological advancement, if the population was that much bigger. Would we be far more or far less advanced? We don't know.
The caller, the entire conversation: "This is not playing out the way I imagined it in my head.. Y4 he ask questions? Y4 he not just accept my imaginary points?"
Special pleading stacked on incredulity stacked on ignorance stacked on and hominems stacked on goal post shifting.... It's fallacies aaaaaaaaaalllllllll the way down.
"Oh yeah butt"🤣
In this type of conversation where the question of evidence is dodged, I think it is useful to ask if the person himself thinks that he himself could be brought from a position on non-belief to a position of belief on this matter. What argument would he himself find compelling?
If the person admits to believing this thing solely because he has prior belief in this thing, then we are both in agreement.
He was trying to construct an argument that would lead to the conclusion that a conscious being created the universe, and he started talking about birds and other stuff, which did nothing at all to lead to that conclusion. And then he got upset when they kept interrupting to correct him.
He's a big fan of the show... not anymore. 🕊💖🖖
Brilliant!
the word "laws" is commonly confusing in the context of Natural laws vs court laws.
for natural laws instead it might be more practical to say "a description and analysis of natural phenomena" , since while that is a mouthful it clearly removes any list of rules governing the actions of the physical world.
"There are 60 minutes in an hour therefore god exists"- this caller, unironically. This fool loves nonsequiturs
I mean, he's not wrong. the word "atheist" exists, therefore therefore no god exists

Snakes still have hip joints to this day, a precursor of one of their evilutionary ancestors that they were brought up from. Thats not evolutionary "advantage" or "disadvantage", least so far as I know with my limited knowledge of serpent biology and how they have evolved from other reptiles.
There are such things as benign changes in speciation and adaptation which are influenced by as many factors as what determines "advantage/disadvantage"
If GOD does not require a creator for its intelligence than by extension hes just proved that you dont need a precursor for intelligence and that it just is in some cases. Therefore the universe can be viewed the same way and there is no "must be a god" to fill in that gap in reasoning. If god doesnt necessarily require explanation than neither does the universe.
Yup, God has no explanatory powers. God being described as "having no source for anything and just is", then the universe can be described just the same.
The reason for death is cellular decay. The reason for cellular decay is evolution, in that there are creatures who can overcome cellular decay. Turritopsis dohrnii, the immortal jellyfish, is considered possibly immortal. It is believed they achieve this by resetting their cellular lives to earlier forms. Humans may be able to overcome death if we can achieve this cellular reset. It seems such would completely change what we consider the physical biological human being.
Now a comedy show. Hahahaha! Good luck caller.....11:39
Caller doesn't understand the difference between subjective and objective even a little bit. Pretty typical for theists in my experience.
I think that's not the only thing he doesn't understand...
Reason for death being intelligent is somewhat tautological anyway, you're assuming there's a reason for death in order to insinuate the intelligence behind the universe. Intelligibility is indicative of the anthropic principle, we can make "sense" of things even if they aren't really so
I'm gonna be honest, I have never seen the word "tautological" before. Learned something new today.
@@TheXLink It is a bit technical, arguably, circular is almost as sufficient
He got it backwards anyway. Sex and other forms of procreation exist as a means to cheat death. That doesn't necessarily means that forms of self replication wouldn't exist, but it would eventually be limited by the amount of space and resources available.
That being said, if you take death out of the equation, not only is there no reason to assume that only self replicating life would exist, but there's also no reason to assume that any life would exist at all. Without death as a filter would complex molecules like DNA and RNA even exist in the first place?
Yes, removing death now would be detrimental, but that isn't what he was arguing. He was essentially trying to argue that death was introduced after life was created as a means of control when in actuality the processes that create death have always existed. Life had to adapt to death, not the other way around.
Why do you all insist on arguing with people who insist the Earth is flat and the Tooth Fairy is real?

@@robertcoane9167 Cool. It doesn't change anything.
"would you also agree that we did now will ourselves adaptive advantages?"
Yeah but that is very close to changing...
And actually, there's an argument to be made, that we have in fact been willing ourselves adaptive advantages for a very, very long time through constructs such as social engineering, beauty standards, etc.
As Humans, we have indeed influenced our own evolutionary course, although not always consciously or deliberately.
For example, the development of agriculture about 10,000 years ago marked a significant shift in human lifestyle, leading to changes in diet, settlement patterns and social structures.
These changes in turn had *evolutionary consequences* such as the emergence of genes related to lactose tolerance and adaptations to sedentary lifestyles.
So, in conclusion, Human innovation and cultural practices (some of them willed) have contributed to our evolutionary journey.
Birds in general, including raptors, usually have a greater spectrum of visible colour than humans.
I can't think of a metric where birds in general and especially raptors, don't have us beat in terms of vision.
