People dont want God to exist, simple as that. If God doesnt exist, we can do what we want as long as we can get away with it. There is no higher authority. We are all our own God in our head.

@sjs928

IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN GOD , no explanation is possible… if you DO BELIEVE IN THE LORD , no explanation is necessary.

@AdityaSingh-wj2rx

The more I hear about God, consciousness, and free will from biologists, physicists the more I understand they all are absolutely clueless as anyone else. Just shooting arrows in the dark as theories. But I do really appreciate their efforts to unravel the mysteries of life and the universe.

@LostFaithMillenial

God is human collective consciousness embedded in the subconscious of the individual brain

@ministryofarguments5257

There is absolutely no evidence to suggest a god or gods do not exist, but the fact that the universe exists gives more evidence of a god than not a god. If there was nothing, which doesn't exist, then you could argue that a god or gods do not exist, but you wouldn't exist either to make that argument. So the logical assumption considering the evidence is that it's more probably that a god or gods exist.

@915tarponlegend

Everything he said is incoherent. I’m open to hear ideas about the universe, but his argument was the most unconvincing I’ve ever heard.

@number-zr6hn

Of course there's God

@middleway5271

The idea that god/God needs to be an actual thinking being is a very narrow definition....

@user-pp9wj9cd6q

God is merciful and created Paradise for those humble people who believe in Him. Paradise is not like ancient universities, only those who think they are scholars can enter.

@afifashaukat4335

i don't think it's fair to say selection is the force of creation and thus dismiss the creative force Lex was asking about. In my opinion, selection is a mechanism of God not a substitution for belief in God.

@6stringstrat520

I love Lex's facial expressions when he is pondering a concept of something perplexing that he is trying to wrap his mind around.

@jessewallace12able

That is seriously the best description/ definition of “free will” I have heard so far. And I am not convinced we have it mind you. It has to do with time. Very interesting.

@brandondetroitfanmichaels4325

Where did the energy come from? And why was a space for the energy to be in?

@SamBrett94

What a thought.. everything in the past was deterministic, big but here, the present time (only present time), there's a component of free will that makes the future not determined

@dirtysprite_

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how exceptional Lex is at teasing out specifics based on the language Lee is using. Lex is an absolute master at appearing humble and speaking in a relaxed way, only to quickly hone in on a component of what someone said and demonstrate this deep critical ability. Such an inspiration to watch.

@sharpsbattle

This sounds like stoner college conversation :D

@zacblakely3285

He talked about objects in assembly theory, and how the objects build into and onto each other through the production phase. Is it a stretch to believe that the original objects were made, and the way in which they vie for success was also made, by the creator? And the thoughts of their existence were part of the program/ design?

@kaminioppenheimer1355

Humans create the concept of God with their minds (or the concept manifests itself in human minds without their creative direction) -- but whatever thing or process created human minds is essentially God (even if you call it something else). The word "God" is optional. If it throws you off, use different terms. At the end of the day all honest people are left to admit that our ultimate origin is a mystery (even if we have some seemingly credible ideas and beliefs about it). Regardless, that mystery is, in effect, God (call it whatever you want).
