Bible proves the existence of God like the comic books proves the existence of Superman. The same is true for this book.
No.
***** I'm not American.
lol
I hope you're joking.
gobsnobber muffin In a sense it is a joke of course; neither a Superman flying nor “a god man walking over waters” exist.
I loved the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds lyrics he put in there. He made this Beatlemaniac proud!
So fucking funny!
Lawrence Krauss kicks so much ass here.
I mean, fuck me... when are we going to stop pandering to this childish notion of supernatural bullshit?
The only thing that keeps mankind from progressing at the rate we should be is religion and belief in the supernatural.
with or without religion humans will always be evil because its in our nature, and only Jesus Christ can change our nature
+Steve Flemming
So who created us? If it was God, to which if there is only one, then wouldn't this God who created us be responsible for creating something that is prone to evil?
'
+B H absolutely, as he is a merciful God unless he first created a flawed creation with a need for mercy he could never exercise his mercy, call it what you will but mercy cant exist without evil existing first
+Steve Flemming By any standard that anyone uses to conduct themselves in this reality, by that I mean the logic one uses to make cogent decisions in life, nothing in your sentence purports to ant kind of empirical evidence to support it, none. There is no evidence that humans have a propensity to being "evil" as in your assertion of it being in our nature. Once again there is little evidence of the existence of the biblical Jesus, and none that this person if he did exist in some form has anything to do with modern humans in any supernatural sense.
+Hal Barbour I have better things to do than preach to deaf ears, God will make those wise of this world look foolish.
"the easiest person to fool is yourself" so true
It's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled.
I actually read this book, about 3 months before becoming an atheist.
Sort of my last ditch effort to save my faith before reason and logic won the battle.
Cmon she is great, classy woman. She has no chance here but have to admire her for facing these guys.
I love what that man said about the spirituality of science. Completely agree, nothing compares to the tangible, real experiences you can have when working in a lab and seeing life in front of your eyes.
Science is the Discovery of God's Work
In a free country, some believe in only God while others believe in only Science. Both are wrong.
Right. Demonstrable evidence is always the best.
Krauss nailed it when he said: "To people who hallucinate, their experience is real."
That comment actually says nothing, nothing at all.
Krauss is an idiot. He epitomizes those who feel superiority over those who have a sense of belief in a power higher than themselves. He believes he has all the answers and knows all as he smugly gaslights those who have faith beyond "the Science" as we know it! His ignorance is on full display as he discounts our human experience in favor of what he considers facts.
@@michaelmckinney7240 yes it does, those that were all FU on drugs are now FU on Jesus!!
Change of perception isn't a change of reality. You can pray all you want to, and have all the psychedelic dreams too, but this isn't going to change the laws of physics.
Well said.
And you know this... how? The Burden of Proof lies upon he who affirms, and you, sir, have affirmed. You have no evidence that it doesn't work, due to the potential ambiguity of its results and thus have no basis for your argument.
I do not claim nor deny any affiliation with any establishment/religion.
Cheeseburger Reality is objective, perception is not. Perception can change your perceptions of reality, but not reality. Unless you act on those perceptions to change reality. More over, your argument of burden of proof is wrong. There is more than substantial proof that the laws of physics are constant and unchanging. There is a burden of proof on the person claiming that these laws were broken in such a way to support their claim.
laws of physics allows for the 4th dimension and beyond that, you should try and read what physicist think it might be like to live as a 4th dimensional being because the way you would see the world would appear to be defying the laws of physics, we know almost nothing about the way the world works and what might really be possible. Hell there are theories that say parallel universes are possible and creating so much energy will boil spacetime and create bubbles that will allow you to cross over... so how can something as abstract as that be theoretically possible but something like heaven isn't? hell maybe heaven is actually just an alternate dimension or universe that our consciousness travels to, maybe when we die our consciousness become a 4th dimensional entity? who knows
+BuCciNATOR
I agree with you but remember one thing bro. Everything you said is just hypothesis. String theory is amazing but still is just a mathematical conundrum. Same goes for parallel universes, super symmetry, dark matter, tesseracts, wormholes etc.
Hell there's group theory which postulates shit like million dimensional bodies.
So as long as we find out the truth, its just another math problem. Fermat's theorem was a big headache till 1990s and Riemann hypothesis is still a headache. So it's just another science fiction movie till then.
love Bill Maher we saw him last year at the Nokia theatre and he was just as compelling.
This is absolute gold. More spiritual because it's actually real! That's brilliant!
Robbo Sturko Proof Do you proof that big bang was real?
There's plenty of proof, mate.
Big Bang most likely did not happen. Provided a good sitcom tho
When I broke my tibia, the doctors gave me ketamine to splint my leg. I hallucinated that the doctors and nurses were aliens and we were in some kind of zero gravity situation. The only difference between me and the guy who wrote that book is we hallucinated different things and I was rational enough to see the experience for what it was: a hallucination. And Bill is right. Even if this guy wasn't under the influence of a drug that the doctors administered, the brain releases a neurotransmitter when you are near death which causes you to enter a euphoric state and hallucinate.
"The brain releases a neurotransmitter when you are near death which causes you to enter a euphoric state and hallucinate." Thank God.
"To me, science is more spiritual, because it's real"
Bam!
+SamuelAging, only because you arrogance makes you ignorant. Science is in its infancy, think Henry Ford when he first designed the Model T, that is the current state of Science. Science is the search for God in His Creation. If Science can advance far enough it must eventually prove that God exists, because God created everything, including you. Saint Augustine said it the best when he prayed, " Our hearts are restless Lord until they Rest In Thee " Hearts who do not know God often commit suicide as they find no place to rest. Pray for wisdom, and God will allow wisdom to pay you a visit. So far I see she has not come near you.
NaYawkr
Show me, conclusively, that "God created everything, including [me]."
Please demonstrate the truth of this statement...then we can talk.
Until then, you are saying a whole lot of nothing.
+SamuelAging the spirit world is more real than reality...
+NaYawkr
God is irrelevant to science.
Rowdy Cooper
Show me, conclusively, that "the spirit world is more real than reality."
Seriously. You are making a claim. Now back it up.
I would like to see tangible evidence of this spirit world; evidence that is available for ALL to see, not just mediums or whatever you want to call them.
Show me. Until then, you're just saying things.
"Science is more spiritual because it is actually real", priceless statement
Dumb statement
when reality is defined by the 5 senses
@@estongbaluti ever heard of modern instruments??
Laurence Krauss: "the easiest person to fool is yourself". Great words and another arch sceptic admitted he was nearly suckered by a weird experience, where he was certain he had astral travelled. He said it was so real, so profound that he got out of bed, went down to his household members and said that he had to rethink everything he believed. That was until one of them reminded him that every detail may well have seemed accurate but the duvét cover that he was describing was actually in the laundry at that time.
That line is truly gold, because over and over it proves itself right as I get older and look back at all the stupid shit I used to believe.
Doug Holmes
I 'read' that, Doug. I've had some truly bizarre and currently inexplicable things happen to me and I've experienced things that some would throw religion at as an explanation. Those events were over half a lifetime ago. Now I put them down to either my brain interpreting things in a way we don't currently understand and/or physics acting on us in a way we can't explain at this point. No god needed. No muss - no fuss.
Sue Mead Aye, if people were to list out each and every "event" to a scientist they could probably give simple answers to each of them. I'll name some of my own.
1. Saw ghosts- turned out to be hallucinations
2. I thought I could see into the future- clairvoyance. Yeah, I can't. That's a load of shit.
3. I used to think god could read and hear my every thought, that I was constantly being watched.
4. Used to believe that my prayers were almost always answered, or they would be "sometime later".
Please don't think less of me... lol
Doug Holmes please, just send me some of those drugs!!
Mark Winship Quite easy to do, simply start taking massive quantities of morphine until you have nothing left in you but apathy.
I was a christian until i read the bible and then researched biology
+MrMarks101 well i dont believe in a god. And i definitely dont believe in the judeo-christian god.
+Kootra The Gambler Fun fact: Agnostic means you believe in god just you dont identify yourself with a specific religion
+DemonzzOfWar no thats incorrect. What you are describing is a deist. Agnostics dont know if theres a god or not, everyones agnostic to some extent.
***** I don't think that last remark is true but hey, we are allowed to believe whatever we want
+DemonzzOfWar ag·nos·tic
aɡˈnästik/
noun
1.
a person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena; a person who claims neither faith nor disbelief in God.
(They dont know)
Diesm
The belief that God has created the universe but remains apart from it and permits his creation to administer itself through natural laws. Deism thus rejects the supernatural aspects of religion, such as belief in revelation in the Bible, and stresses the importance of ethical conduct.
(Believes in a god but doesn't adhere to any organized religion)

I think, whatever people believe in that gives them peace and happiness, is great
if this guy thinks he died and went to heaven, and is now happier because of it, I'm glad for him.
it's when people try to push their beliefs on others, that's where the problem lies.
Sharon Looz and ignorance, of course. We shouldn't be validating this to children.
Sharon these false beliefs are not just a happy time for people. It allows people to remove their reasoning skills in many other ways too. An excellent (horror) example is where the Christian father and husband commits the ultimate sacrifice (in your view) and kills his wife and children to make sure they go to mythical heaven (and he 'maybe' goes to mythical hell). THIS is what I'm talking about, when men (especially men) feel that mythical god created them and women were provided to them by this god illusion, they seriously could do just about anything at any time (ie their god may whisper in their ear!).
I helped my young daughter from an early age to stay clear of Christian men (especially this religion with its worst mythical hell than all others). Thankfully she learned they men who believe in mythical gods are quite obviously delusional and no one wants that around their children.
These foolish religious men place their mythical god before their entire family, it is a frightening concept, I'm sorry your parents didn't help you to stay away from these fools.
"You talk to God, you're religious. God talks to you, you're delusional".
Sharon Looz Keep it to himself! Don't be on a crusade with it like it can be proven that it actually happen and you went to heaven but actually dreamt it.....wow! A speck on a butterfly's wing?
Sharon Looz
Yeah. But people should be more honest with their individual subjective experiences. What the article should say is "I experienced heaven in my mind" not "heaven is real."
"If I'm wrong about God, then I wasted my life. If you're wrong about God, then you've wasted your eternity". We will all find out eventually.
If I am wrong, there is only the slimmest chance that you are correct, for the many religions coming before and after yours hold just as much weight by your own definition, in which you'd have wasted both life and eternity if the god that you mist likely aren't correct about is as brutal as the one you do follow. After the many translation, iterations, and omitted subjects the Bible has endured over many years, what makers your doctrine the true one? If you arento ve honest with yourself, you are most likely following the wrong book, and thus the wrong god (how ironic?) in every circumstance. Atheists follow no god, and I believe the commandments only say it is a sin to follow false prophets, no? So in the leveled field of reason, you are a hell of a shot from being over myself in the gates of heaven, despite my lack of faith inherited in most cases from the previous generation of families.
Colston Martin
Toy are SOOO wrong about the Bible (KJV!!)
If you take the King James version (KJV) of the Bible and translate it vac into Hebrew, you will find it to be word for word about 99.98% the same as the old original Hebrew manuscripts that made up the original Bible!! That is 100% FACT!!!
And I'm sorry but NO, sinners without a Saviour (Jesus Christ) WILL NOT enter the Kingdom of God!!! Also NO, you won't burn in hell just for not believing in God!! God doesn't SEND anyone to hell!! You go to hell because toy have to be punished for your sins!! Another myth is that you will burn in hell forever!! WRONG!! GOD punishes people according to the severity of their sins just like in a court on Earth!! Also just like a court on Earth, if you didn't have the money someone could pay your fines for you!! That is what Jesus did for us and out sins!! He payed that fine by dying on the cross!! So actually there's no reason for anyone to go to hell!! See.. God knew it is our nature to sin and that we couldn't live a sinless life!! THAT is the reason His son died in the cross, so we could ALL go to Heaven and never have to go to hell!! But some people reject His gift of Salvation AND they reject God Himself!! So you have two choices.. Go to Heaven and be with God OR reject God and He will grant you total separation from Him and THAT is what Christians call HELL!!!
*-GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!_*
Takedown II
*_HELL_*
*This is RIDICULOUS!!! You just wants to try and make God out to be some evil torturer!!*
*See, first, God doesn't send people to hell because they don't believe in Him, OR because they don't love Him!!! God is a JUST God, as in JUSTice, and EVERYONE SINS, and You MUST be punished for your sins just like you would be punished for your crimes on Earth!! You got it so far! Ok.. now, if on Earth, let's say you do something wrong and you go to court and the judge says pay these fines and you can go free! But you don't have any money, and then this person comes along and says, I'll pay your fines for you, but you don't want that and you reject his gift!! So the judge says, ok then I'll have to punish you instead!! Well that is what it's like for manafter he dies, standing before God. He/she has to pay for his/her sins, and then Jesus is like the guy that wanted to pay the fines! BUT.. you have to accept Jesus/God's gift of Salvation in order to WIPE AWAY your sins!! If you reject Jesus, you must pay for your sins yourself and since you can't do that, you must be punished, just like on Earth!!!*
*Second, NOT EVERYONE burns forever in hell as punishment!!! THAT IS A MYTH!!! The Bible says you are punished according to the severity of your sins!! If you were a good person ALL your life, helped people and didn't break too many of the commandments you will get a very light punishment! But if you are like Hitler and had millions of people killed etc then you will receive a VERY harsh punishment and so forth!! Burning is ONLY for the wickedest of the wicked!!! But there is NO NEED to be punished AT ALL!! Since God is so loving and merciful He gave His ONLY son to be punished on the cross for all of our sins, because God knew it was our nature to sin and that we couldn't live a life without sinning!! BUT.. you MUST accept His gift of salvation, which is Jesus Christ dying on the cross for your sins!! If you reject Jesus and do not want anything to do with Him, then you will have to face your punishment alone!! God also won't force you to be with Him!! If you reject God then you reject being with Him in Paradise and therefore God will grant you eternal separation from Him!! Christians would call eternal separation from God, HELL!! SO.. long story short, God doesn't send you to hell to be punished! YOU send yourself there, for rejecting to have your sins washed away by accepting Jesus Christ as your Saviour!!* *Just as on Earth, if you rejected your Saviour (the guy that wanted to pay your fines) you would be sending yourself to be punished for your wrong doings!!*
*I REALLY hope this clears things up for everyone!!!*
*_GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!_*
Takedown II
He's RIGHT, you REALLY don't have a clue about why God does the things that He does!! You have totally misunderstood EVERYTHING!! I don't think you have BUT if you have read the Bible you have interpreted it ALL WRONG!!
Saying nasty things about God will not hurt Him but it is NOT going to help your situation when you are kneeling before God being for mercy after you die!!! You might be kneeling A LOT sooner than you think too!! Because WE ARE in the end times and Jesus Christ WILL be returning SOON, VERY VERY SOON AND AND EVERY KNEE WILL BOW AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS THAT JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!!!
Unless you soon realize the truth and stop rejecting God and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour you will be regretting ALL the mocking and nasty things you've been saying!! More thanthat YOU WILL regret not having a SAVIOUR to keep you from your upcoming punishment!!! You CAN NOT say that you were NOT warned!!! PLEASE think about it while you still have a little time!!! Actually there is NO time, Jesus could return at any second and it would be TOO LATE!!! I pray that God opens your eyes to the truth in time!!!
*_GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND!!!_*
Hey douche bag, if we presume the stupid god story is real, The chance of your god to be true among the others is about 1/3000 gods were and still being worshipped . Hahahaha good luck.
Why do people have such problem accepting nothing after death? Billions of years the earth has been around you were not in existence, you had no consciousness because you had no brain or body. Up until the day you were born you have been an eternity of nothingness, but did you care about that? Were you afraid of being nothing? Could you tell you were nothing? Why people make such a fuss and fear over death is astonishing to me! lmao You won't give a flying shit about death because you will not be conscious to experience anything and generate any type of emotional or physical response to stimuli. That is one thing people NEVER seem to think about when thinking about what it would be like to just be nothing...well sorry chaps you have already been nothing before you were born and you had no knowledge of it, so why be afraid of it? lol Now being afraid of the dying method I totally understand who the hell wants to drown and suffocate while lungs fill with water, or die in a crash and have your body ripped apart, or shot and stabbed? Fear the method fine, but common people don't fear the aftermath of it that is irrational.
Probably because they've wasted half their lives in church.
+guitarman0365 I like how Hitchens said if you think of the experience of life, death is just as much of a blessing as life. I thought about that for a long time and the peaceful religions - buddhism, hinduism teach that we were something and we'll be something again (not reincarnation) but part of the process of life. He also talked about the arrogance and narcissism that comes with being a human being. Humans are the most destructive, selfish species the greatest thing is that we do die.
+guitarman0365 What you may not have understood about those rather pathetic people who cannot accept their own demise are those who actually want to go back to their high school reunion and wish they could relive those days as giggling, pea brain sophomores. They really believe they'll rejoice in the reminiscence.For those who just cannot accept that this is the only life we'll ever have.... things might tend to get pretty scary. And those who believe we were predestined to be born at a certain time, exist for a certain period and "leave the stage" as designated by posterity.... it seems obvious (and rational) that the story will continue forever.I must confess, on certain rare occasion in my weakened conditions, I might have wished to be among those who really believed in heavenly bliss.Yet, for better or worse, attempting to enjoy a cold one on a rainy afternoon, seemed to me most rational.
+guitarman0365 I couldn't have said it better guitarman, totally agree with you my friend.
+guitarman0365 i'm not affraid of death. i'm affraid i might never be able to enjoy life again ( i'm atheist )
People believe in heaven only in hopes there is one, not because they truly believe it. If there was a God who truly loved us he would prove he existed.
***** Well sadly there is nothing saying god could not of created a process which allows these physics apply to. No different then a computer program our universe follows rules and guidelines we call that (Physics). Science is the method and understanding to explain the container that god created. In the end we get back to we all choose what we believe. Logic will tell you one thing and life experience will tell you another I think you would be foolish to not take both into great account.
***** Telling people that god does not exist when you have no evidence what so ever to support that is just foolish and arrogant. Our progression in the timeline of science can still not figure out even 5% of the answers on how this Universe works. So step back and think what you are saying. You are having faith that your methods of science have all the answers of creation when simply even the best scientist will say " ITS ALL THEORY" meaning aka we don't truly know. If you truly believe in science you can't say you know the answers with out having a shed of proof yourself, you must see that. I notice in my experience the most arrogant and angry people deep down are atheist and against the idea of god. A lot of them can't put some one or something above themselves. A truly intelligent person would always at least be ignostic because they would realize they don't yet have the answers or the proof which means you keep living, learning and searching.
That is very interesting because not once did I say or do anything to push god on to anyone. I get it though you are getting upset because your argument was countered so you deflect by attacking me. And for the record you can't prove in anyway that god does not exist so its a dead argument. Like I said we choose what we believe. To say I believe in science and then make any claim about god not existing is just dumb. But you sound like a typical parrot saying what every wanna be smart guy says. I BELIEVE IN SCIENCE, which by the way changes every day. So what you are saying is you believe in change, okay I got ya!
Well Jesus was a real person that did real accountable things I think your forget that. And I love how you speak of logic when once again you make exact statements like people believe in heaven because... You don't know why people believe in heaven and how they feel or why the reasons are. You take your tiny perception of reality and try to explain the mystery of life... Correct me if I am wrong you don't study physics do you? If you don't study physics and have not went through and proved all of the math yourself you would be taking it on faith that what you have been told is even the truth lol. How can you not see your own hypocrisy? At least if you believe in science say you are agnostic because we simply don't have enough information to make a viable argument. The best scientist in the world even say the studies of the universe are mostly good theories. If it was a fact then it would be known as a law. You need to realize there are very few laws in science, translation we really don't know enough to be throwing out huge accusations. Let me be clear, I can not prove through the method of science that god exist. You can't prove through science that god does not exist. To even say that god probably does not exist would be a very dumb statement because you simply don't have enough data or evidence either way to even support your theory. Stop trying to make science seem like its purely designed to disprove god because it is not. Science is just the tool used to explain the perceptions and guidelines of our reality.
You believe in science and you actually said "God (should) be provable". That proves my point you want the world to work a certain way you are not interested in how it actually works. When you stop having emotion and can be objective ill take your point serious.

Since when does anyone trip balls on XANAX? Who r u or bill Maher to say what happens when we die? Its presumptuous to make claims on either side cause NO ONE fucking knows till they're dead....for good.

About once maybe 2 times a year I have a dream when I wake I can only remember it for a split second. The only part that is remembered…… a thing … something tells me as I stand in front of something….. “ You have to remember this before you awake “ there is no voice ….. it’s a feeling that is sent . Perhaps it’s something in my subconscious…. Something from my past that I’ve forgotten….. who knows . But every time after these dreams , though I’m unable to remember….. a sense of peace and happiness stays with with for that day . Who knows .
Krauss and Maher fucking crushed these heaven claims!
Louie AC I believe it's idiotic to believe that something was created out of nothing . Everything that exist has a creator. To say evolution is real is like believe in blind faith , which is exactly what religion is . Remove the term religion because religion was created by man and not god . God wrote the Bible and believe in Jesus Christ , is more of a way of life than anything else .
D Santi "I believe it's idiotic to believe that something was created out of nothing ." ---
But that's exactly what Christians believe! That God created the whole Universe out of nothing, by simply uttering words.
"Everything that exist has a creator." ---
But God doesn't have a creator. Therefore, God doesn't exist? To make an exception to the rule in favor of a deity that you have happened to believe in would be considered a special pleading fallacy.
"To say evolution is real is like believe in blind faith , which is exactly what religion is ." ---
Absolutely not. Evidence for evolution is overwhelming, and most religious people are beginning to finally accept evolution as a fact.
Evidence for evolution: Ancient fossils.
Specifically, their placement in the fossil layers. The oldest layers are on the bottom, and the youngest layers are on the top. Fossils on the bottom are quite different from those on the top, and we can never see ancient organisms from the bottom layer mix together with the organisms from the top layer. For example, there can never be dinosaur and human fossils in one layer. (I'm not counting known hoaxes, of course.)
Besides ancient organism remains and fossil layers, evidence for evolution includes: Similar anatomy across different species which highlights their common origin, similarities in DNA, similarities of embryos, natural selection (as well as artificial selection), the natural distribution of species across different continents, etc.
"God wrote the Bible" - False. People wrote the Bible, and you need a blind faith in order to believe that they were "inspired" by the Creator of the Universe.
Until they realize that they were wrong
+HanchoPOW who created your creator then fucker ?
Science is more spiritual because it is actually real.

Simple-minded superstitious imbecile. The only place you are going after death is in a 6ft. hole in the ground, or up in smoke through a crematorium chimney. Enjoy the trip, and you wont be needing a passport or proof of identity.

Actually when I die and if I see this mythical dictator (your filthy jesus zombie) I'm going to throw 3 large rusty nails at him. Obviously his kryptonite, who knew that he could be that weak and unstable minded.
That's right, I'm going to be your new god. So you better watch out LK, all Christians are going to the land of nonsense where their glazed eyes can be ridiculed all day. Hey just like here in reality.
Americans debating reality. I will trust Bill Maher. [Aussie in BC]
About 14 years ago I contracted a serious infection while on vacation, went into a coma which I was then kept in. During the course of my illness my heart stopped about three times and I had to be brought back. At some point during all of this, probably towards the end I had a very vivid dream, (not about heaven or hell), which when I woke, felt real and like a memory. It took several days for me to realize it was all a dream. Because I don't believe in or think about religious stuff, that's not where my mind went so I guess it's easier for me to realize my memories weren't real. But they weren't. And since technically I died three times, at least according to the old definition, I can assure you that you don't go anywhere.
Krauss is the friggin man. If you haven't watched his debates, do yourself a favour and go on a Krauss CZcams bender
Making a little note to myself.
Yet he believes in a Universe from nothing
Yunus Ahmed lol his understanding and your understanding of "nothing" are completely different
Yunus Ahmed
Yet you believe in an invisible skydaddy that made something from nothing.
Evan Roberts
Your point?
I used to be a religious hard-core Republican. Then I started piecing things together and realized just how fucking brainwashed I really was.
I was a speck on a butterfly's wing too. The dream was fantastic ! When I awoke, I tried to get the anesthesiologist (sic) to give me some to take home. "Are you wanting to write a book ?" he asked. "That's been done." True story (almost) . . .
Remembering Bill before he got old.
I've read on one veterinarians Facebook page that some people brought their dog in for euthanasia, and the process was as heartbreaking as you'd expect so they changed their mind. After the dog was injected in front of them they just said they changed their mind and to give the dog the reversal shot. Many people actually think that something can die and be brought back. When your brain is dead it's over. They can only put the rest of your body on machines in order to harvest the organs if you're a donor. You can't reboot the brain. The guy wasn't dead. And personal experience when you're tripping doesn't prove anything it's just the experience of you tripping.
My father is a vet and i have witnessed dozens of animals being "put to sleep" and even if there is such a thing as a "reversal shot" (which i don't believe there is) that animal is dead within 6 seconds... There is no ways you can inject a "reversal" before its game over!

Fido, died-o.
I'll let myself out.
Drugs do change peoples lives, just usually for the worse because of addiction.
It all depends on the drugs. CNS depressants (opiates, benzos, barbituates, alcohol etc) and CNS stimulants (cocaine, methamphetamine, caffeine etc) are potentially addictive both psychologically and physiologically.
Psychedelics don't tend to be addictive either psychologically or physiologically. They aren't conducive to habitual use.
It all depends on the drug, not all drugs are created equal.
Actually i enjoy life ten times more if i do even two or three psychedelic sessions per year.
smoke weed all day everyday
BipedalP314 I think it depends on the person too, but I agree.
Actually, USUALLY they change lives for the better.
Most drugs are not taken recreational. They are taken for real medical conditions.
When I looked for God (desperately in 1975) He pulled me up to heaven where I met Jesus, Holy Spirit and God. That is why I am still among the living. God actually hugged me, and I had never in my life experienced love before that (I was 21 at the time). God is everything that people say He is not, He is LOVE.
I travel around the world solo and heal people for free in Jesus name. And I have constant peace, it is such a blessing to see all the miracles. Peace.
PS. I don't like the book they are talking about.
Life is real, There is no more room for anything else.
I like how she smiles whenever she gets proven wrong about her points. it's a self defense from her to avoid the embarrassing moment
A bit of research on this author is illuminating. This neurosurgeon (the author in question) nearly lost his credentials for malpractice on many occasions, and as far as neurosurgeons go, was on his way to a rocky, ignominious departure from medical practice when he wrote this book. Whatever the book's merits, to the extent the author relies upon his credentials to strengthen his account's claim to credibility in ways that mere laypeople's reported near-death experiences cannot (i.e., I'm a neurosurgeon), it's important to remember that, as a neurosurgeon, this man was a washout. That he traded upon the credibility and prestige his now-tarnished credentials ostensibly lent his account is only more evidence to condemn him.
Bill Maher's is your God.... fool's!
you're the fool. there's a big difference here. Bill Maher isn't making claims about peoples eternal souls
LMFAO.!!!! Fucking imbecile.
john clewes Which? There are so many to choose from here!
“If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me-to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Matthew 18 6
Scientifically speaking - look at dna code (the code is a language and language is only capable via intelligence), the creation of the universe and its expansion (scientific fact) . This means there was a beginning (big bang) . When's the last time you saw an explosion bring everything into perfect order. As much as the science community fights, it's a forgone conclusion, THERE IS A GOD - AMEN. Look at the study of the Shroud of Turin - still unable to reproduce what's on that cloth. It's veracity is proven.
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,
because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Romans 1 21 - 22
Can we all agree that we won't know until are last day comes.
I absolutely adore Lawrence Krauss!!
After watching all these non-stop debates and arguments and fights, and also after me reading the Bible and religious people's takes on the Bible (I don't believe and I never will, but I just want to find out what in hell is all that fuss about), I just have one big question:
*Why does religion seem to actively oppose the acquisition of knowledge? Why does religion, especially Judeo-Christian traditions, dislike knowledge so much?*
+xFirebird925x Because once people get smarter, they realize religion is bullshit and won't finance it.
+xFirebird925x becuase science back hands them across the face everytime they talk about their stories
+xFirebird925x because when people get introduced to knowledge they are less likely to believe in bullshit :/
Socomhunter Perhaps. There does seem to be something of an inverse relationship between believing and knowing.
xFirebird925x It's sad to see though that some (small amount) of intelligent people fall in the lie of hell and believe simply out of fear :/ it's sad to see
Tina Brown's point was that the experience of the neurosurgeon was a profound, life changing experience, and made for a compelling read that a lot of readers enjoyed. His personal interpretation, though it may not be literally true, is none the less emotionally meaningful, connected with a lot of ppl, and is therefore valid. Lawrence Kraus' point was that that is all silly bullshit, only real things matter, and both the neurosurgeon and Brown need to grow the fuck up. Personally, I'd go with Kraus.
I agree with Krauss: REALITY, not religious fiction, is truly SPIRITUAL
I read the book, and when he began the part about his experience after death, I scroffed, "this is ridiculous."
When I smoked DMT, it changed my life too.
!Bill Maher for President of USA and Planet Earth!
Fuck off. No way. The guys a smug little weasel. Bill Nye however? Yeah, there's a smart guy with great communicative skills to go with his wonderful intellect.
I see you are a Zionist rat so he is too. Fuck you both.
Hussein Toney
noticed that too, no coincidence there. Bill Maher is a hawkish Zionist above all else
Krauss just nailed it as usual
I don't believe in any religion but I can't imagine it being so important to me to have that be the topic of discussion of something I don't believe in the first place.
Because you don't see bigger picture here. People who believes in these wizards and magic actually votes for the laws which will effects everyone, including you. Quite few of those laws are based on their personal delusional religious beliefs, that's the issue.
@@Zripas no they don't. Congress shall pass no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. It's just trendy for people like you to hate Christians and reiterate statements like that without even providing a single example. All of the utter insanity being pushed into laws these days have been from this delusional woke mind virus which has become the new religion. Not Christians.
So... let me get this straight. The book they're talking about, written by that neurosurgeon guy, describes what the guy has seen while tripping on some drug?
Observer29830
No while he was undergoing brain surgery and the thought part of his brain was no longer connected to the part of the brain that was considered alive!! That's how he knows it wasn't a hallucination or anything else besides an out of body experience!!!
Unfortunately Bill Maher and his minions won't get it until they are kneeling in front of Father almighty God the creator begging for mercy!!! Unfortunately by then it will be TOO LATE!!!!!!!
@@keithgood7181 awww butthurt are you
@@keithgood7181 Funny thing is most out of body experiences aren’t heaven or hell related. Most of them claim either they saw complete darkness or a bright light. But all they felt was peace. Nothing else. And they even said all this happened not in a religious sense at all. So these experiences are not to be trusted.
As a Christian, I don't think we should be taking these heaven journeys seriously. If we are in heaven, we're not coming back. Think about, if we go to heaven, to be in the presence of God (God who IS purity), we would be forever changed.
"No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him." 1 Cor 2:9
The experience is spiritual, but actual heaven? No. We are on Earth now, let's focus on the here and now and love one another the best we can as a response to God's love.
Amen!
+HiByebtwn Hey, I'm an atheist, and I agree with you !
HiByebtwn Why would God need a human next to him in any shape size or form? If he does then he is not a god.
I love the point that the male guest makes in that he finds spirituality in science because it is real. I believe that you can find spirituality in anything.
It's sad to hear people mock the Almighty God, while God can shot down their heart without warning...
Sas Walden Yes, and your obvious borderline illiteracy speaks volumes regarding the intellect of religionists. Education is such a wonderful thing.
God doesn't exist, bad things happen to good people, the universe is random and chaotic. You are an idiot.
Sas Walden Its sad too hear grown adults still clinging to superstition without giving them an appropriate level of skepticism.
Experiment: ask god to end war, since he's all good and all powerful and in the bible it clearly says prayers will be answered he can make it happen. Then wait.... Did war end? No, god doesn't exist.
Melissa Fellers All prayers are said to be answered. That does not mean the answer is "yes".
Provide me with one shred of evidence that there is a God...Yeah, I didn't think so.
If you're religious, I have an enlightening new book for you to read. It's called "Logic for 1st Graders".
I don't think she believes it either... her job is to sell magazines which is impossible nowadays and the bible is the best selling book... I think she knows she's being deceptive, but she'd be fired if she admitted it...
Imagine a world without religion. Imagine we used our logic our reason our intelligence. What a world it would be.
That world would never exist. Would be nice to live in a world that was accepting of other cultures and nobody was put down for believing in something bigger whether it’s Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, it’s just sad that people can’t coexist and the fact that they can’t means the whole human race should just be thrown out we don’t deserve this planet. Everybody is always fighting arguing. You have atheists passionate about telling people how there is no god. How does that benefit any religious person. We live in hell

what a good way of summarizing the whole thing: "Hallucinations are real to the people who hallucinate"
If Heaven and Hell are real, so are the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus.
And unlike God, there's some evidence for Santa. Those cookies don't eat themselves! :-)
***** You could well be on to something there!
John Benton You do know those are completely different things
And equally imaginary.
+That Pineapple I'm sorry, but HOW exactly is god any different from Santa Claus? God is just Santa for adults, they both even have the whole "judging people to determine rewards/punishment" thing going on, and they are both only believed by humans too gullible to know any better.

I have noticed that you have posted this in multiple threads. Would you mind rephrasing the sentence so it makes more sense? I think I know what you mean, but i would like to be certain before I engage in conversation with you.
Adam Powell Exactly!
I miss THIS real time.
Given the thousands of choices for religions, there are thousands of choices for "heaven".
How many atheists does it take to talk over their guest
Isn't the most obvious answer to this "mystery" is that the neurosurgeon simply made up this story about his "journey to Heaven" and now making bank off his book sales? What evidence do we have but what he says, which is all lies, imagination and religious mumbo jumbo in his book? I mean yeah he was in a coma but whatever he experienced could be completely fictionalized. That is what writers do lol. At best he had a psychedelic experience, not a trip to heaven LMFAO
I'm not a religious man but I believe there is a God I love science at the same time. science prove nothing. science simply prove what is there and how things come to be but still something have to the cause of anything that science had discover.
calling a bullshit bullshit is something so refreshing for your mind that it's a pity so few people can experience this condition.
I don't understand the concept of heaven. anything that lasts eternity would soon lose its appeal. Life is so valuable because it is fleeting, remove this and you are left a pointless existence.
still she was a nice lady for someone that defends such a thing.
it's denial.
If she actually read the Bible front to back herself she wouldn't be able to keep a happy persona through it.
Duane Locsin well, they interpret everything in a good way. when somebody wants to believe in something, facts are nothing.
***** all of the Jesuits who gave us chemistry were in denial?
They didn't even live in Egypt!
***** no they just didn't have an alternative.
Some people think they can turn off street lamps with their minds. They go for a walk, one light goes out as they pass, and they ignore the hundred or so lights that didn't go out when he/she passed. Duh? Larry's the man.
Heaven is real. No one religion is true, but they all share meems of truth vital to society. The light of the creator will destroy the darkness, and all secrets will be revealed. Come honest and clean before your dirt weighs you down.
Religious people: But no, my delusion is real; but no, my delusion is real; but no, my delusion is real...
Yes, that makes a lot of sense...
They just keep repeating their perspective, they don't want to reason another 1, really sad...
Just like the Bible said, when the End is near many scoffers will arise, people mocking the the prophecy, but they will see when Jesus returns. Believers keep believing and wait on our savior
So you must be the one with indisputable evidence then? Okay let's hear it. Using the bible to prove that god exists is like using the Harry Potter books to prove that magic exists.
God makes himself known to those he so chooses. And what criteria does he use? A broken and contrite spirit. You want evidence? You can only get that on your own, no one else can give that to you.
This woman said one intelligent thing, that being about when people have supposed afterlife experiences, it's never about hell. It's always heaven.
i have only one thing to say to people like krauss ;you are right on;, keep on telling the truth and sooner or later even thoose idiots will come around to reality, ;i know, because ; i did;.
It must be nice to have a show where you just pull the BS card on everything, tell everyone they are lying or mistaken and get paid lots of money for it.
If he saw it and his brain is offline, his memory of it wouldn't exist. Obvious to anyone who thinks of that
Krauss is a savage, I love how he's not afraid to get awkward and call bs, pure genius
All they're proving is that the Bible is right that the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us that are saved it is the power of God📖, that's why you can't understand it but we can.
