Transcript
00:00:00.000
My question is, I want like the f***ing stiff evidence.
00:00:22.000
Can you prove it to me that your God is a real thing, not your delusion?
00:00:33.000
If you're in the middle ages, in the old ages, people see the thunder.
00:00:38.000
They didn't understand. They didn't make a point.
00:00:41.000
And they created the God who was throwing the car.
00:00:43.000
My question is, on the weak evidences about your God, how you can still believe it?
00:00:54.000
Nothing like stepping around, about the morality, about this.
00:01:02.000
So, okay, you asked a question. What's your name?
00:01:06.000
Okay, so now, what you said is, you said that men made God, God didn't make man.
00:01:17.000
This is my assumption according to history, which I read in my class.
00:01:21.000
Okay, so if I proved to you with solid evidence that there is a creator,
00:01:28.000
Of course, because this is not what I approve or not.
00:01:32.000
This is what the evidence, standard evidence showing.
00:01:36.000
If I go against the standard evidences, I will be stupid.
00:01:42.000
Oh, this is... I make a call. I say, I don't believe you.
00:01:47.000
This is evidence that the colleague is actually making a call.
00:01:49.000
Okay. All right. No problem. That's a good thing.
00:01:53.000
Yeah. It's rare to have people like you in the park
00:01:55.000
because a lot of people are stubborn and they want to...
00:01:57.000
So, it's good to have a nice conversation with you.
00:01:59.000
I haven't had this in a long time, so I'm quite excited today, yeah?
00:02:02.000
I'm going to prove to you that God Almighty exists, yeah?
00:02:05.000
And how I'm going to do that is I'm going to do it in a few ways.
00:02:14.000
We believe there is one creator who's created the heavens and the earth, yeah?
00:02:44.000
Can you show me anything that's come from nothing?
00:02:59.000
Because I don't know if something comes from nothing.
00:03:02.000
Therefore, I cannot show you something comes from nothing.
00:03:32.000
And you will be melted in the lamppost material...
00:03:45.000
Do you see a human being or a lamppost in front of you?
00:03:52.000
We acknowledge, using our conscious, our rationality...
00:03:55.000
Basic logic that I'm a human being and I can't be a lamppost.
00:04:24.000
If I don't have that knowledge, I can say I don't know.
00:04:28.000
No, but you saying I don't know, it doesn't answer.
00:04:30.000
It's just like saying, okay, I'm going to avoid...
00:04:39.000
Look, it's an impossibility just the way I can't be a lamppost.
00:05:08.000
Yeah, if you're born as a turtle, you can be a turtle.
00:05:13.000
How does that pseudo-physiological question prove anything?
00:05:17.000
Right now, is there a possibility that I can decide to be a tree?
00:05:32.000
Because you're expecting me to follow your illogical...
00:05:43.000
Is there a chance for me to turn into a potato?
00:06:07.000
So, therefore, what you did is you used your rationality to come to a...
00:06:16.000
A logical decision that I cannot become a potato.
00:06:19.000
So, that was you using your faculties to come to a conclusion.
00:06:22.000
That's the same way I'm asking you this question.
00:06:27.000
Yeah, but you see, the problem is we know about the potato and you right now.
00:06:59.000
If you don't know physics, you cannot talk about physics.
00:07:11.000
The time, it's a past and the future going from infinity...
00:07:19.000
I'm a believer in God and I'm bringing you arguments that are based in our reality.
00:07:35.000
I said, is there a chance of me being a potato?
00:07:44.000
There is more of a chance, maybe, of me becoming a potato than something coming from nothing.
00:07:49.000
Something coming from nothing is an impossibility.
00:08:20.000
Okay, can you show me one example of zero can equal one?
00:08:33.000
The effect of my consciousness is that I'm talking with you.
00:08:41.000
Right now, I'm going to imagine something in my head.
00:08:51.000
In the future, people develop their tools which allow us to reset...
00:09:08.000
Because you're saying, we will put electrodes in your head.
00:09:10.000
All you see with electrodes is things happening.
00:09:14.000
Because a minute ago, I was imagining a chocolate strawberry.
00:09:45.000
And mathematics are the figures of our imagination.
00:09:59.000
So zero, not equaling one, is the representation of nothing, cannot make something.
00:10:07.000
I cannot show you because I told you I don't know.
00:10:15.000
Therefore, it requires that it has to be created.
00:10:24.000
Okay, can you show me infinity in this real world?
00:10:40.000
So therefore, my premise that I'm building is from nothing, nothing comes.
00:10:58.000
If 20 years they prove it that the world comes from nothing, it means that all atoms...
00:11:13.000
I said to you, can you prove me anything that comes from nothing?
00:11:15.000
Can you prove me that something comes from something?
00:11:20.000
It's something from the atoms which can come from nothing.
00:11:49.000
Because they've got all this specific field or work.
00:11:54.000
Even Professor Krauss, he self-admitted that the nothing he's talking about is not nothing.
00:12:21.000
If they're created from the atoms who were created from nothing.
00:12:26.000
Can you prove to me that atoms came from nothing?
00:12:30.000
If you don't know that, it doesn't mean yes or no.
00:12:48.000
So you said that you can go and see this phone being made.
00:13:06.000
My experience doesn't count for everything that was created.
00:13:11.000
So are you telling me the only reason you will believe that this iPhone is designed is if
00:13:17.000
So therefore, how do you come to the conclusion that this is designed?
00:13:20.000
It's designed because I can go to the Apple and check it.
00:13:39.000
If we don't go to the Apple, are you telling me that you cannot prove to me this is designed?
00:13:59.000
If you allow me, I'm going to make the connection.
00:14:07.000
This right now is going to be clear to approve.
00:14:08.000
I said, do you believe this is created because you went to the factory?
00:14:13.000
So therefore, I said, how else can we prove it?
00:14:15.000
He said, obviously, we'll take it in our hands and we will look.
00:14:27.000
You said, I don't need to go to the factory to believe that this is designed.
00:14:34.000
You said, we will take it in our hands and we will see.
00:14:44.000
Complex in design and nature and the way it works.
00:15:44.000
How can you prove it that the blueprint of the universe...
00:15:58.000
How can you practically show me the blueprint of the universe?
00:16:13.000
I said to you, did you go and see the man who made this?
00:16:21.000
I said, did you go and see the man who made this?
00:16:38.000
You believe this is designed when you haven't seen the person who made it and the way he designed it.
00:16:51.000
The universe is billions and trillions times more complex than this phone.
00:16:56.000
If you believe, if you believe, you did not see the one who made this, you didn't see how it was designed,
00:16:59.000
and you believe this is designed, and by default you have to accept this design.
00:17:42.000
Because this is the apple, not the god, and not universe.
00:18:10.000
Because, first of all, this is apple and the oranges.
00:19:13.000
Therefore, you cannot use them as a comparison.
00:19:27.000
So therefore, me and a turtle, we're not the same.
00:19:48.000
I cannot reject something, but I think it doesn't exist.
00:19:55.000
You can't reject something that you believe doesn't exist.
00:19:57.000
Why are you telling me that I reject something?
00:19:59.000
Wait, why are you telling me I reject something?
00:20:02.000
Why are you telling me I'm rejecting something that I don't believe?
00:20:07.000
Because of the premise that I use with the phone.
00:20:11.000
You did not see with your eyes the one who made it, but you believe it's made because
00:20:19.000
You did not see God, but you reject the universe.
00:20:24.000
No, because contradiction is you're comparing apple and oranges.
00:20:33.000
Because you know the problem is, I can go with you, your apple, and show the blueprint.
00:20:47.000
If you know that God created the universe, can you bring me...
00:21:03.000
Because you claim the God created the universe.
00:21:08.000
Robert, have you seen the blueprint of this phone?
00:21:15.000
Because you said to me, Ali, have you seen the blueprint of the universe?
00:21:23.000
Because you're making a positive statement that the God exists.
00:21:26.000
If you would like to prove it, you have to bring me the blueprint of the universe.
00:21:57.000
Not necessarily intelligence or somebody who writes it.
00:21:59.000
Because man is not an intelligent person who writes a book.
00:22:06.000
So my premise here, my second argument, my premise is this.
00:22:17.000
Your argument is, if there is written by humans, that the universe or space or whatever
00:22:25.000
Can we agree on the premise that if there's information, there has to be intelligence?
00:22:40.000
When we go to the hieroglyphics, we see information.
00:22:42.000
And we went and found the Rosetta Stone and we deciphered the hieroglyphics.
00:22:46.000
Therefore, we saw that there's information and it requires intelligence.
00:22:55.000
If you took every book on this planet and put it together.
00:23:03.000
It will not be equivalent to an information in one strand of a DNA cell.
00:23:08.000
If there's information that requires intelligence, there's information in the DNA.
00:23:31.000
So DNA, does it work on its own or do we tell it's work?
00:23:54.000
It's information how it replicates itself and how it adjusts.
00:24:21.000
So then, that book that was written, there's no intelligence behind it?
00:24:34.000
So therefore, if there is information, there's intelligence.
00:24:37.000
If you see the castle made by the ants, it is intelligent made?
00:24:48.000
Robert, you said, you're a sincere man, and I believe you are, yeah?
00:24:50.000
These are my two evidences that I brought forth, yeah?
00:24:52.000
And I gave you the premise, and you're rejecting the premise, yeah?
00:25:04.000
The DNA has information, it requires intelligence.
00:25:25.000
You just said, if there's information, it requires...
