A&A Related Video Thread

This is the shiny new thread for posting new videos unrelated to ongoing threads.

From now on randomly posted YouTube/other videos will be shifted here. The charter shall be updated to ensure implied knowledge of this thread's existence. I'm not going to sticky it - but regulars shall be expected to remember it!

For no other reason but to kick it off, here's a random Ted talk from Douglas Adams...

Good analogy methinks.

Guess I'll not be posting in the Funny Side of Religion or Interesting Stuff threads anymore.

Apologies if I took this from someone else on the forum, think I stumbled on it though...

Yeah, I'm a little confused (easily confused as I am) here. Do the Funny and Interesting threads not cover these videos?

Stickies, stickies everywhere.

Dades · 16-02-2011 8:49pm

If something is funny, it goes in the Funny Side of Religion thread (as always).

Interesting Stuff can be kept for science-type stuff, or studies and whatnot.

Do continue to post in both!

[Basically this exists for those random one video only threads that don't really belong in either of the above - but don't warrant their own thread.]

A very good video imo.

The uploader doesn't normally do video's with religious themes and this one isn't solely based on religion, if you haven't subscribed to his channel then you are really missing out. Or at the very least, watch more of his videos. ;-)

This whole issue started out from this video:

This went on with other videos from him and others. I'll link some more.

Good old Bill "Its Rhetorical!" O'Reilly

From the Youtube page, "Adding comments has been disabled for this video." I wonder why :P

dlofnep · 22-02-2011 6:01pm

He's asking a legitimate question - but he's asking about the wrong things. We know perfectly well how planets were formed, and how stars were formed. We know the roll gravity played in creating moons, and how their orbits around planets were formed. We know perfectly well why the tide goes in and out.

If he wasn't such a moron - He would ask the more important creation question "How did the universe come to be?"

That's a much more valid question. I'm an atheist, and amateur astronomer and I still find it difficult to come to terms with the big bang, and the envelope of time. It's really difficult to comprehend for people, as are are so used to dealing with finite events.

So while he's asking in a moronic manner - I think the question is valid - Where did it come from?

Pushtrak · 22-02-2011 10:45pm

It's not the question, but the answer, that's the issue. Skeptics say "I don't know, let's find out"; O'Reilly (and many others) say "God!"

Billy Mays · 27-02-2011 9:09pm

Saw this last year. Richard Tillman is the brother of Pat Tillman, a former NFL player and also an atheist who quit to join the army after 9/11. He was killed by "friendly" fire in Afghanistan which was subsequently covered up by the Pentagon. 5:15 in is quality.

Of course. We could put any arbitrary name on the cause of the universe. They choose God. Let them be blissful in ignorance.

New debate between Sam Harris and Willam Lane Craig

Part 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UigeMSZ-KQ

You can find the rest along the side...

Sam's opening remarks are pretty much verbatim his lecture on the Moral Landscape.

Making my way through the rest now...

Dave! · 12-04-2011 9:47am

Not a great debate really. Very few specific points were honed in on, so Craig's rhetoric wasn't exposed to any great degree.

Why? Because they discuss this stuff and expose it as the sham it is?

This is so frustrating. I can't watch more, I just can't do it. Lots of the people on this are very good though. Can you imagine an Irish audience reacting like that?

You'd be surprised. I really enjoyed those videos, hence the post. The lad sitting at the top with the two ladies is excellent. Someone I'd love to listen to more.

Interesting video to say the least and a tragic end. And some people say Hitchins is confrontational, this woman could make him look a little tame:)

And I love her little christmas song song at the very end:)

This vid was posted over in the Conspiracy Theories forum (What? I got lost on my way to the shops. Don't judge me...) by Obelisk.

Thought it was interesting enough and something a little different.

A rare recorded interview with original Dead Sea Scroll researcher and scholar John M Allegro on his hypothesis of the formation of modern religions and ehh, the Messiah being a magic mushroom.
