Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@Tight--LiNeZ says : If there is a "higher power", it has nothing to do with any existing religion, like the 2000yr old Jewish zombie worship, death/resurrection cult, that promises everlasting life, if you just believe said Jewish zombie (died & rose again) is the son of their god. It's likely more like, science is how, God is why, and that a universal power ultimately created matter, in order for evolution and other processes to form that matter eventually into conscious organisms, all in order to know itself and be known. Or it's all just random chaos? and because we are the ones who developed consciousness, we are going to be the one's thinking we must be special, and that there's some great meaning to it all, but any life, given sufficient time in order to develop the ability to ponder ourselves, would ask the same questions. Humans, struggle to fathom the vast depth of time that has been, so find it easier to think there's some grand design to it all, not just Earth festering for billions of years. Evolution has tried millions of forms of life, 99% of them dying out and leaving no living descendants. We were just really far in the future when higher primates, other human species and ultimately Homo sapiens, came about. That's all. All of that blows the religious mind, and it's just easier and way more comfortable to believe a god whose interested in us, and will give us a nice place to go after, created us and loves us. It's just wishful thinking for those afraid of death and that their life, loved ones, actions, memories and thoughts etc., must mean something, and not fade away into nothing at all. I get the pull and it would be nice, but I'd rather live in a harsh truth, than a highly comforting, meaningful falsehood. The fact of the matter is, gods, spirits and ghosts, do not exist. No matter how holy. So any faith system based on them, is bunk. Sorry.>> <<@NerdAdventurer85 says : I find it hilarious that few are prepared to consider the concept that ALL the gods worked together to create existence. Presuming, of course, that they exist in the first place. 😂>> <<@MarioMancinelli82 says : Why does he look like he's always about to play racket ball??>> <<@bananabanana484 says : Um, would you believe in brains more if they weighed 4 pounds? Why does it being an organ and weighing 3 pounds make it less capable of consciousness? Why does your inability to comprehend the complexity of the human brain imply that God exists?>> <<@uj1nn says : Look at human brains and mind 100 years before and today>> <<@uj1nn says : The evidence for that is evolution...>> <<@davidhopler4287 says : This is assinine. We can reason because we have a highly evolved brain.>> <<@Mockturtlesoup1 says : Why wouldn't we be able to use reasoning or "account for it"? Are you suggesting that evolution/natural selection would select for organisms that reason poorly, always coming to false conclusions, and thus are destined to a life of constantly falling through 1mm thick ice because they think it's strong enough to support them, of jumping out of very tall trees because they are unable to deduct from previous experience that a fall from such a height would cause them harm, etc., etc.? Also, "reasoning" or "reason" isn't a thing, at least not in the way Turek seems to be using the word, as if it is some kind of transcendent quality or ability that needs a specific, inarguable beginning, and can only exist by some higher entity gifting it to you(or your ancestors.)>> <<@TekadaShingen says : God does exist and as a Muslim i must warship him!>> <<@TekadaShingen says : Only dumb people believe that god doesn't exist>> <<@dunky7157 says : Belief!! Literally belief! It’s in the definition of the religious ideology. No one believes in science it’s a tool that changes and evolves as understanding and knowledge grows.>> <<@Rhonyrat says : He attacked the question with another question with no sense made whatsoever. Great job buddy, I’m sure ur big imaginary friend is proud.>> <<@wandamakapela8446 says : Reason is simply experianced not explained>> <<@TheMusalagari says : " why is there evidence for anything?" 😂😂😂... Gravity exist... But u can't see it... If u don't believe it... Jump of a skyscraper.... If u float away... There is god.... If not... Science wins 😂😂>> <<@samburton9961 says : there is evidence for how life started on this planet. every building block for life is floating on asteroids. the earth went through a growthphase of being absolutely PUMMLED. ny asteroids. once things settled and heated and cooled and got rained on and struck by lightning enough, life began. we can literally do this in a jar. there is an explanation for nearly everything in the earth's formation and the evolution of life. there is no need for magic.>> <<@derekardito2032 says : Atheist say there is no evidence for god because not one person has ever demonstrative any evidence gods do exist>> <<@derekardito2032 says : Claim, claim ,claim , claim and not one iota of evidence, the answer to why we can determine anything is because it's evident, demonstrable and testable, arriving at the only conclusion possible.>> <<@touchthistoday says : Just be you believe what makes sense don't let anyone tell you that you didn't see what you saw but don't except without of anything without making sense. Spin the dice live have fun learn don't hurt anyone die than find out>> <<@charlesmaunder says : No Turek. You're either a fool or you are lying. Not believing something does not require you to believe something else. Why do you spout such nonsense?>> <<@Candyguy8283 says : I’m done arguing.. I had it 😂😂😂>> <<@lllULTIMATEMASTERlll says : Frank, you aren’t smart. You are bad at thinking.>> <<@Qlippothic says : this fellow buries his belief in faulty logic. typical. he confuses beliefs and opinions with facts. also the question, i guess, was 'do only dumb people believe in god?" which he doesn't seem to be answering, which makes him dumb. of course intelligent people can believe in god, they would be wrong to do so, but people can believe anything they want to. he also talks about the brain ascertaining truths. not sure what that means. scientists use experiments based on data, or to get data, which the brain uses to interpret said data based on rules that attempt to eliminate opinion and belief. but said interpretation is discarded if it can't predict future results, or isn't falsifiable. his opinions and illogical arguments are not experiments, they are not data, and are not falsifiable. in short, they are beliefs, unexamined by science, and he is entitled to them. he is wrong, as i said, but he is also entitled to be wrong.>> <<@theresawilliams4296 says : We are what we are, and we are what we think the way we do, due to evolving into the species we are. No imaginary being needed. It's frustrating to see why some people don't get that simple concept.>> <<@rcharmel9316 says : Why do you believe in god? Him: I believe in god because i have the ability to believe in god because god gave me the ability to do so... If that isnt circular thinking, I dont know what is.>> <<@jara419 says : People with low intelligence don’t want to think, they just want something easy to understand, and religion gives you that…, don’t think…, just believe and shut up.>> <<@老骚-y3x says : I dont believe god but I believe myself😂>> <<@danielmcpherson9399 says : Evidence is reality base god is mythology>> <<@ded5630 says : Believing in anything is unintelligent. you either know or you don’t. You can’t even believe in what you know because there’s no guarantee that there isn’t more information you are not aware of>> <<@jagged2tiger says : Maybe the dumbest argument eveer>> <<@Remima13 says : I really REALLY envy your belief. What an amazingly warm, happy feeling... You can be on the cusp of death and feel like you have a greater goal that you're heading to. You believe, in your last moments, that youre going to heaven. I would give anything to believe that. I really would...>> <<@PatientPerspective says : The answer is just "I dont know." I dont see believers dumb for believing in god but I scratch my head when they try to rationalize it to others. Its their arguments thats the issue not their beliefs.>> <<@debragreer4423 says : What's so sad is that there are people out there who make fun o or ridicule people who do believe in God. For those who have never felt the holy spirits power, if you have never felt that pure rush of love, pure spiritual power of God that washes over your entire body, then of course you're not going to believe in God. And for those who have not felt that I feel so so sorry for you. Because it's an unequivocally experience and it's amazing, it is truly amazing. But it's simply because you lack even a little faith, and you're refusal to see something grander that what your eyes see, that prevents that beautiful experience. You have nothing to reference. You're unable to validate faith because of your reluctance or refusal, inability to believe. Which is so sad. Because the Holy Spirit is such a precious gift that is given freely from our father in heaven who created all things. Yet so many people refused to open it out of ignorance, fear, or a simple concept called the faith. Even if it's just the faith of a mustard seed. Because that's a start.>> <<@VibrantYT-i4q says : Seeking the truth will make you look dumb, but Dodging the truth will make u look smart.>> <<@FrostIce1 says : There is not GOD it’s just a fairy tail in a children’s book>> <<@mariefourie5314 says : There's no evidence of big bang and evolution>> <<@Preston61 says : I’m trying to be a Christian, but using logic and faith can be hard.>> <<@FredCohen568 says : religion is faith, no science. So you can say whatever you want about your god but you still have no proof it exist = dumb>> <<@hospitalsgivingpatientsdan8894 says : Atheist believe in nothing 😂 nothing made everything>> <<@daisylavenderlove says : Lord I praise you forever. I pray for every single person here to open their hearts to you so that they will know the truth of life, for you tell us that whomever seeks You with their whole heart, they will find You. In Jesus' name i pray, amen. ❤ God bless all of you & thank you for being here.>> <<@JimHalpert706 says : This is so dumb . Lol>> <<@spacetofu19 says : “Reason” and “morality” didn’t happen overnight. It was a long sociological evolutionary process. Everything that exists today is because of natural evolution. There’s countless pieces of scientific and archaeological evidence that directly clashes with the Bible and pretty much every religion.>> <<@wd123c23 says : Ascertain that we don't know ...........................>> <<@williamoarlock8634 says : Turek and his religion are dumb.>> <<@DeconvertedMan says : no matter how smart you are, you can always think something is true even though it is not.>> <<@TraumaticQue9 says : Utter stupidity>> <<@Zombie_Trooper says : That's the most nonsensical argument I've heard...>> <<@davex444 says : Religious people aren't dumb. Most of them are indoctrinated and the rest are in it for the money.>> <<@kennysilvers-z4x says : YES, REALLY REALLY>> <<@jayo9190 says : Is that why god punished Adam and Eve for eating from the tree of knowledge. Your so called god doesn’t want you to think… you must obey or be punished>> <<@Redx3257 says : Ok, at this point i just think Frank is being genuinely dishonest.>>
