I think the same question could be made to you. What about: because people are different and believe in different things.

Chalegre Goulart You seem confused. My point is that we do believe in the same things, but she labels them "God" for some reason when it's unnecessary. I'm asking what makes those things "God" and not just what they are and how you can distinguish that.

Hey! Let's Do A Thing! I am not confused. The difference is you are an atheist whilst she is not. Thereof, she attributes those "same things" you believe in as a force or presence that created it all, called God.

Chalegre Goulart That isn't a response to what I said though. I know that already.

Being Muslim means necessary that you believe in angels , the devil and that god answers prays and he is an actual intelligent being living somewhere in the sky. If you don't believe any of that then you are not a Muslim. And that god has nothing to do with the higher power she is talking about

@@kiralight6661 Also I didn't say that EVERYTHING in the Quran was metaphorical. I still believe in God, angels, etc. It's more spiritual though. The Quran is interpreted in different ways because they had to write things in a way that the people in that time period would've understood (since we as human beings weren't scientifically as advanced back then). It's good to keep that in mind. You'd probably have to read to Quran to know what I mean though, along with historical context.

Then will they not believe?” (Quran 21:30) What Great scientists say about Quran--- Professor Keith Moore, one of the world’s prominent scientists of anatomy and embryology. University of Toronto, Canada It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in the Qur’aan about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, or 'Allah', because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of Allah. Professor William W. Hay is one of the best known marine scientists in the United States. satellite photography and emote-sensing techniques. Professor Hay replied: I find it very interesting that this sort of information is in the ancient scripture of the Holy Qur’aan, and I have no way of knowing where they would come from, but I think it is extremely interesting that they are there and that this work is going on to discover it, the meaning of some of the passages. Professor Hay: Well, I would think it must be the divine being! Professor Yushudi Kusan: Director of the Tokyo Observatory, I can say, I am very mush impressed by finding true astronomical facts in the Qur’aan. Professor Alfred Kroner who is one of the world’s most famous geologists "Thinking about many of these questions and thinking where Muhammad came from, he was after all a bedouin. I think it is almost impossible that he could have known about things like the common origin of the universe, because scientists have only found out within the last few years with very complicated and advanced technological methods that this is the case. Dr. T.V.N. Persaud is a Professor of Anatomy and Head of the Department of Anatomy, and a professor of Pediatrics and Child Health, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He is the author or editor of 25 books, and has published over 181 scientific papers. In 1991, he received the most distinguished award presented in the field of anatomy in Canada. "It seems to me that Muhammad was a very ordinary man. He could not read or write. In fact, he was illiterate. We are talking about 1400 years ago. You have someone who was illiterate making profound pronouncement and statements and are amazingly accurate about scientific nature. I personally cannot see how this could be mere chance. There are too many accuracy’s and, like Dr. Moore, I have no difficulty in my mind in concerning that this is a divine inspiration or revelation which led him to these statements." Joe Leigh Simpson, Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the North Western University in Chicago in the United States of America. Professor Simpson said: It follows, I think, that not only is there no conflict between genetics and religion, but in fact religion can guide science by adding revelation to some traditional scientific approaches. That there exists statements in the Qur’aan shown by science to be valid, which supports knowledge in the Qur’aan having been derived from Allah. Professor Palmer a scientist from the U.S. We need research into the history of early Middle Eastern oral traditions to know whether in fact such historical events have been reported. If there is no such record, it strengthens the belief that Allah transmitted through Muhammad bits of his knowledge that we have only discovered for ourselves in recent times. We look forward to a continuing dialogue on the topic of science in the Qur’aan in the context of geology. Thank you very much. Professor Tagata Tagasone, formerly Head of the Department of Anatomy and Embryology at the University of Shiang Mai in Thailand. He is now the Dean of the College of the Medicine at the University. From my studies and from what I have learned throughout this conference, I believe that everything that has been recorded in the Qur’aan 1400 years ago must be the truth, that can be proved by the scientific means. Since the Prophet Muhammad could neither read nor write, Muhammad must be a messenger who relayed this truth which was revealed to him as an enlightenment by the One Who is an eligible Creator. This Creator must be Allah, or Allah. Therefore, I think this is the time to say ‘Laa ilaaha illallah’, that there is no Allah to worship except Allah, ‘Muhammad Rasool Allah’, Muhammad is messenger of Allah... Professor Armstrong, Scientist works at NASA, I am impressed that how remarkably some of the ancient writings seem to correspond to modern and recent Astronomy. There may well have to be something beyond what we understand as ordinary human experience to account for the writings that we have seen. Professor Dorja Rao, It is difficult to imagine that this type of knowledge was existing at that time, around 1400 years back. May be some of the things they have simple idea about, but do describe those things in great detail is very difficult. So, this is definitely not a simple human knowledge. There is no God but Allah and Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him is last messenger of Allah and Quran is the Final revelation from Allah Read Quran

Watch some testimonies regarding Near Death Experiences and I assure you, you won’t be so scared of death again. On another note.. In the beginning(time) God created the Heavens(space) and the Earth(matter) -Genesis 1:1 A as a scientist or medical researcher myself, my faith has only strengthened as my scientific understanding has increased and discoveries have put me in profound awe. Most certainly their is a spiritual realm outside of our observable physical world.

There is limited evidence of those who have been to heaven without experiencing a hallucination. Dr. Eben Alexander III is a neurosurgeon who saw Heaven. He was previously agnostic but now believes. The portion of the brain that produces hallucinations was shut down during an infection. I believe in an afterlife, but I really think the scientific community should do way more research. It should come from those of all backgrounds who believe; final resting place (Heaven), reincarnation, lights out (death is the end), becoming a star, etc. to avoid bias. NDE research is a field that we understand extremely little about.

toxic atheists?? Atheists have every bloody right to be against religions and the biblical god. Just look at this world and what religion has done and is still doing. The biblical god character is the biggest mass murderer and evil of all time and says it loves us but threatens eternal hell to those who dont do as it wants, and people worship this character and cause wars and kills others etc etc hmm And thats just the very tip of the iceberg ...

You are all lunatics it's like I'm in a never ending nightmare where people still believe in fairy tales when you learn in public schools of other myths just as unplausible and made-up-sounding.. How can you not see that that's how a dead religion is referred to? as a myth? Which will also happen to all popular religions that exist today

It is shame that other people living their lives with their own beliefs and systems that shape their life distress you so much. Perhaps you should seek help? Maybe some tolerance classes? Or even seeing professionals if the problem stems much deeper. Or you know, you could just get a life?

CorporealGinger Yea, religious people always kept their religion for themselves throghout history. Even today, look at how tolerant muslims are to gays and atheists.. Creationists wanting to teach children their nonsense in public schools... I see you religious fucks creeping in politics all the time, wanting to control how others live based in some mythology so don't play the victim ok? Try to put yourself in my position imagine some complete lunatics trying to force you how to live The same could be said about you, it's a meaningless statement, since you responded to me, why don't you get a life? How about you realise that deep down all religions are the same? It's all made up.. People are catholics because mom and dad are catholics, people are muslims because mom and dad are muslims people are hindus because... etc etc the list goes on. Can you guys stop the insanity? There is enough of it already out there. I did it, I'm from a religious family, you can do it too just think about it for some time and you'll realise how silly it is

Have you ever heard the phrase, "you shouldn't assume because it makes an ass out of your and me?" No where in my comment did I state my own beliefs. Just that its sad you find so much distress in other people living their lives. You have the audacity to make general sweeping comments about others then cry that religious people do it too. So to clear up some things, let me address each part of your argument. 1. Islam has some very extreme people who believe gay people should be killed. Joseph Stalin committed many atrocities against people he saw as abominations too. People don't need a religion to be bad. You just got me a human. 2. I support the separation of church and state. Also, like Mayim, despite my religious beliefs I don't reject science. I fight against those who would use the schools and the government to indoctrinate children and force their beliefs on others. I believe that ever human has a right to learn, discover, and make their own decisions. 3. I have a life. Its not me who apparently lives in some nightmarish landscape where the mere existence of people with religious beliefs have me wallowing in anguish. 4. How about you realize that while many people do believe what they believe because of mommy and daddy that just have many have come to their own conclusions. My parents were strict Southern Baptists. I do not hold any of the same beliefs that they do because when I became an adult I began to make my own decisions. Just like the many people who converted or fell away from the faiths they were raised. 5. Again, I suggest getting help on your own prejudices before you try taking a moral high ground. You're right in that religious people can be dicks. Religious people can also be kind. Just like atheists can be kind or than can be raging dicks. This world doesn't have a religious or a nonreligious problem. It has a people problem and until we start fixing ourselves we can't hope to fix the world.

CorporealGinger oh god.. Oh dear.. how many times have I heard the same bs? what the actuall fuck honestly. STALIN? lmao You missed the points, but honestly, I have better things to do.

But, here's the thing for me - WHY are you Catholic and not a Sikh, Hindu or Mormon? You believe very strongly in science, but is it possible your Catholicism is the result not of studying 'the underlying science of Catholicism', but of more mundane causes; such as taking on the faith of your family members, parents or cultural group? While I realise that many people can and do simultaneously hold scientific views AND a particular theistic belief, you can't pretend to say that you hold those religious views to the same scientific scrutiny as you would any other novel and untested claim about reality.

@Vik Murty . Stop spreading fallacies. Atheism isn't a religion: It's a position when it comes to a claim. It is also a lack of belief. People can be atheist in the sense that they don't believe in gods, but agnostic when it comes to not knowing if one or many exist: *Otherwise known as an agnostic atheist.* *(P.s. please don't reply saying atheism is the belief that there is no god, because that only shows that you have no idea what atheism is)*

@Vik Murty . Yep, and thats what i thought: *You have no idea what atheism is.* Well, I suppose if I have nothing to learn here then I'll just be on my way. Have a good day.

I'm an agnostic atheist too and I respect her beliefs too. And yes atheism is NOT a religion oh GOD. Let me define agnostic atheist from Richard Dawkins' scale of faith from the God Delusion: "I can not be sure if God exists, but I live my life based on the assumption that he does not." (Until proven)

@Vik Murty . wow..."atheism is religion"...really??? Is not believing in leprechauns also a religion? Does not believing in Zeus make you a religious person in that regard? Also...atheism is NOT necessarily the belief that there is no god. You should read up on things before making these ignorant statements. I am tired of hearing that shit

@@derwolf9670 Atheists say it means they "lack a belief...." Can you scientifically prove to other people that is true?....lol...jk Trollin trollin trollin keep them shoes for bowlin'...

Then you are an agnostic :)

Then you are not an atheist

I too am an atheist and I too find 'acceptance' of her choice to define "God" in that way. and I too find resonance with it. --- Atheism just means "does not believe in a literal deity". What Mayim is describing is known to some as "agnostic theism". There is wiggle-room, for which terms we apply here. All agnostics are atheists; by default. An agnostic doesn't have a conviction that a literal deity exists. They are, then, "without" theism (aka "a-theistic"). Mayim may not identify with the atheist tag but she is somewhere in the blur between where the lines are drawn. She lacks a belief in a literal deity. She calls what she believes in "God", but that lets her keep a place (a belonging; relevance; connection) with a culture that bonds over (and identifies with) those certain words and phrases. There is some sameness, to what a more common Jewish theist means when they speak of their "God"; but it's not enough the same to place her in the same religious category. Humans tend to have a love for sharply defined lines; but the deepest truths often defy these conventions. She has taken the best of both worlds and found (forged, in fact) her own place; her own identity; her own vantage point. She's even taken certain words themselves and (rightly) assumed ownership of them; while still taking the time to do so responsibly, to avoid being misunderstood; -to whatever extent that's possible, In a world where most people listen for a chance to respond rather than listening to understand. I was already a fan (but not a fanatical fan). Though, after watching this, some part of me felt far more endeared (connected; spiritually resonant) to her as a sentient and emotional being than I was before.

Someone has suggested to me that she is, instead, expressing "Pantheism"; or maybe Panentheism. I'm partial to Pandeism, myself; but only as a theory. If they are right about that, then that's fine. Obviously, my thoughts were not dependent on those particular distinctions. Though, I'd love to learn more about her views, at some point.

LOL...probably because it's not actually an explanation of any "religion." Least of all Judaism. She's describing Einstein and Spinoza's pan-deism, not any sort of theistic system.

Pursuing Ancient Paths plus science only make God look cooler 😃

science and religion makes sense after you realize the young earth theory isn't true, and Christians should have never went with that explanation. then other scientific evidence being found the last 100 years makes sense.

All science has done is debunk religious claims. You're either talking about non-religious gods or you are highly deluded.

Oh, so you've already lost faith in the Bible, which claims that the first Humans lived roughly 6000 years ago and that God created all living organisms? Science is in no way on the side of Christianity; the monotheistic religions are based on faith, not hard evidence and reasoning.

Lol, it's roughly 4.6 Billion years old. It's a FACT that it's NOT thousands of years old. Only religious people would make such an anti-scientific claim. Anyway, ageing rocks is extremely accurate nowadays. The ageing of rocks is testable, observable and repeatable - perfect science. That makes the age of the earth good science too. To believe in the story of Jesus is to have faith. I never made any claims about atheism. Atheism is simply the lack of belief in god(s).

I don't think Einstein ever went as far as believing in any particular religious faith. As far as I am aware, he used plenty of flowery, poetic phrases to describe '...knowing the mind of God', but I don't think he was supposing a deity, but instead likening science to the continuing quest to probe further into the operation of the Universe. Leaping from a deity to a specific religious faith is, I feel, incompatible with a scientific mindset.

Akaakaaka ak At the same time, it means the same thing to her that God means to others.

Many pagan religions already have this definition. Granted it's different in some ways but still it's not totally unheard of

Perfectly stated. It feels really insincere to refer to nature as god. It's essentially nonsensical.

Jesus is still fighting for you. He loves you so much!

Britany Kunzler is that why he permits the abuse?

I don’t think comment will have much influence on your life, nonetheless, I am a Christian who studies philosophy and to be honest live constantly on the edge of what I guess you could call an existential crisis to!! I have come close to giving up my faith a few times now, and contemplated what my worldview would be like if I did. However, I also thought I’d share answers I am working on to your question, which ultimately boils down to the following: if God existed, His goodness would lead us to expect to a very high degree of probability that He would not permit such HORRENDOUS evil in this world. But there is truly horrendous evil in this world. Therefore, God likely does not exist. Now, one dispute this line of reasoning by claiming we could not fully understand the mind of God, so we cannot day we would most likely expect Him to prevent horrendous evil because how could we have a good enough understanding to make that claim! I find this unconvincing because it seems, though we clearly couldn’t fully understand God’s mind if He were to exist, a believer must admit we can PARTIALLY understand it, because otherwise we could never recognise His work in the world (be it design, miracles, anything! We’d have to say ‘we couldn’t understand the mind of God so cannot day we’d expect Him to do any of these things)! And if we cannot do that, how could anyone have any reason to believe in God?! Nonetheless, it seems to me plausible to say that if we could not comprehend God’s reason for permitting evil (or that there was a very good reason for God not to tell us it), we may instead expect God to either indicate that to be so or at least give us a clear sign (or signs) of His love (to indicate that there must be some reason He permits it, even if we don’t know what). And perhaps the life of Jesus (and/or the book of Job) provides either or both of these signs: signs we may expect a loving God to give that there is an answer to why God permits evil even if we are unaware of it. Perhaps it is Christ’s passion that provides this, in addition to His teachings. As I say, this is a work in progress of an answer, but I hope it at the very least lends good for thought!

Happy Guy well thank you sir. I appreciate the time and effort (and nice username, but not very fitting for a guy perpetually on the verge of an existential crisis eh? XD). First and foremost my apostasy was not initiated due to any suffering in the world, although I did struggle with the concept, ESPECIALLY the idea that some of my friends would be burning for all eternity because they didn’t believe what I believed. BUT I have not left Christianity for that; I left because of rational reasons: lack of evidence, lack of consistency, the fact that there have been literally thousands of religions throughout history, the wishful thinking and sheer predictability of religious thought, fallacious Christian arguments, etc. etc. And for the first year or so I was digging in researching trying to reaffirm my beliefs because I wanted to assure myself they were true... but i was not impressed. Needless to say I have since left. Oh yeah, and my cousin is a huge fucking hypocrite-he’s in seminary school to be a priest but he’s also a sexual predator-so I have a lot of beef with Catholicism as you’d imagine. It’s also weird because you don’t realize how cultish your family is until you forsake their patterns of thought and think for yourself. I’m happy for you though. It sure does feel nice to have things all figured out (especially if you’re at peace along the idea that a heaven awaits). And you seem like a pretty cool dude.

Natalie Elskamp Ahahah thank you very much, you seem like a pretty cool girl!!Yeah I get the idea of friends suffering for eternity in hell - most my family and friends are non-religious! However, I think you can be a Christian without believing in eternal conscious torment. Long story short, I believe damnation consists in some kind of destruction rather than eternal conscious torment for various reasons though... perhaps the so-called ‘problem of hell’ (how could anyone be tortured for eternity) can be solved, but it’s not something I feel obliged to deal with given my beliefs. Although, I can see how distressing that would have been for you!! And it sounds like you’ve really done your research, which I really admire!! I have spent years researching these things, and to be honest the evidence I have at the moment perhaps seems like a real mixed bag!! Though it’s still a work in progress me examining it all. And the idea of when belief without evidence clearly pointing for or against a claim intrigues next at the moment (e.g. could someone convince themselves their next date is going to go well because doing so may have practical benefits, despite the fact all their prior dates have gone terribly and they aren’t a psychologist so don’t know about self-fulfilling prophesies? Similarly, should be believe in free will for the practical benefits even though the evidence is arguably pretty dubious? Or believe any moral claim, given differences in moral beliefs etc?). Anyways, I have hope and faith my examining of the evidence won’t lead me away from Christianity (do I smell a confirmation bias?!), though what I will say is that I have genuinely discovered surprisingly good pieces of evidence for it, as well as pieces against it. Sorry for such long comments - I wonder if anyone else will read these?! And I hope your relations with your Catholic family are okay!! And that’s awful to hear what your cousin did!! Even if it were to turn out God did exist etc, I can honestly say what he did severely contravened Jesus’s teachings about love and non-hypocrisy, so it deeply disturbed me that he would do such a thing as a priest who is supposed to follow such teachings!! (And the same goes for the many priests who unfortunately have done too...)

Nothing. But what's wrong with calling it Religion?

Mijochda It could help to bring a lot more people together, that are divided with 'group names, and group loyalties'.

Given what most religious people world wide believe in it is very harmful to associate oneself with the label religious. Because most orthodox Jews(in Israel) are more in the business of preventing other Jews driving buses or cars in Saturday, gay marriage or some basic essentials like divorce for "Agunot", women that their husbands disappeared/don't want to give a "Get", or castrating cats which is necessary for major cities to prevent them from spreading(not even joking, google "Uri Ariel", MK in Israel) and the list goes on. When you have this offshoot intellectual who takes some very elastic form of religion it has almost nothing to do with modern orthodox Judaism or with how most people view religion worldwide, or even in the west(where most religious people don't believe in evolution) it is more harmful because now you have more people who view religion as this good harmless thing which it really isn't

+Mijochda crusades, Isis, middle East (in general), KKK, westburough Baptist Church... those are just some reasons wrong with calling it religion, I have never heard of anyone getting killed/maimed/tortured/Discriminated against in the name of the Human Experience.

@@julia.24 I was reacting to what she said, she is ascribing all that is good in humans to something supernatural. She also says she is guided by her faith to be a good person. I cannot say this is Christianity or Judaism, but the history of religions teaches us that most of them are taking undeserved credit for the good in people and for inventing 'morality'. Also, claiming that the universe is governed by something bigger is the most unscientific thing. I know people need illusions (and they have every right to have them), I am just extra confused when I stumble upon this rare oxymoron of a religious scientist.

Your last paragraph is a pretty cute fallacy. Religions structure discipline I'm disciplined -> therefore I am religious. This is wrong. Because Religions structure disciplines, but not one said all disciplines are derived from religion. She states her religion as being an example of a boundary to have and disciplines to adopt, nowhere did she say that's the default example for discipline, otherwise you're a tacky rude jerk. No side here. I'm being a very objective atheist.

I'd also add that "arbitrary behaviors that can range from useless to harmful" isn't exactly true either. Some of the behaviors can be useful and positive.

'...doing God's work...'. Does that mean all this time you've been predicting weather patterns when a God should have been rightly doing it? Sorry, just playing with words. But seriously, I just flat-out don't understand. How and where is this 'God' thing that people keep mentioning? Why can't all the rest of us touch, see, feel, hear or in any way probe this entity? What possible satisfaction or succour does it provide your mind to something that is forever out of bounds of skeptical enquiry? What possible scientific tests can we design that might help prove or disprove your particular hypothesis where it comes to these deities? I find the notion of gods and deities so frustratingly ethereal, like something billowing past made of something finer than the finest silk. It's like something we think we see out of our peripheral vision and when we turn to face; there is nothing. There MUST be an explanation for why so many find these notions around something so nebulous to be also such a source of comfort and peace. I could never be convinced of a particular religious faith as an adult, but perhaps if a parent or teacher had taught these ideas to me at an early age; might I have been 'vulnerable' to them? I'm not being deliberately provocative here, it's well known that any number of ideas can become deeply-ingrained if introduced to us at the right age. To all the religious people, I'd say this. Imagine you grew up without any notion of god, gods or religion. No iconography or cultural or art or anything like that in your life had ANY linkage to any religious concept. Instead, you grew up and learnt the basics of reading, writing, how to spell, mathematics and arithmetic, before moving onto things like how to construct logical arguments, what it means to prove or disprove something. Then maybe you'd learn about logical fallacies and the many ways we can fool others or indeed; fool ourselves. You'd go through the experience many times of having a previously-held belief or view about the world proven wrong as you learnt more, and more. Given all that, now imagine that with all that under your belt, someone tells you about the faith you now profess. How would your advanced and experienced mind process these new claims? What prior standing would you give to the notions within those claims? Would believing these new ideas force other ideas you considered part of well-understood science to be re-classified? What sort of rules would you apply to your new religious ideas in terms of standards of falsification? How would you compare the claims made by religion X with the claims made by religion Y? In comparing religions, could you come to decide if one is 'more likely correct' than the other and on what basis?

Is that a bad thing?

I think she means the stereotypical view of God, yes we were made in his image, but we still cannot imagine the complexity of him.

She was discussing discipline at the time, using it to an example on how her religion contributes to how she structures her life. She’s also a strict vegan, perhaps eating kosher helps her achieve her goal of maintaining a vegan lifestyle, she’s previously discussed how being a vegan is built of her desire to be more compassionate and aware of her actions, much like the teachings and practices of Judaism

Katelyn Whitaker the study of science was started by the church, so they should go together! It’s all about learning more about God’s world 🌎

A favorite quote of mine "Math (and science) is the language in which God has created the universe"

"The God of the Bible is also the God of the genome. He can be worshiped in the cathedral or in the laboratory. His creation is majestic, awesome, intricate, and beautiful." - Francis Collins

Yes Chase, by propagating inaccuracies and fallacious arguments. Support of this argument (her beliefs) is denial of science and common sense.

@@scrobag1 how so? elaborate please

@@stevendoty9408 If you gonna call gravity God and the title of the video called Science and religion??. Is Gravity a religion and God now??. Why not Just call it Gravity??!!. We are all owed by the natural wonders!!. So you see Mt Everest and go Kum ba ya on your Knees??. What is that all about??.

@@tomfoolish5202 your comment make no sense! gravity is an effect of mass on space! more mass, more gravity! does not mean it was not God who created it all! science only shows what he did!

@@stevendoty9408 Oh boy. "Science only shows what God did"??. How do you know that??. Did God reveal that to you in your dreams??. I think is some kind of mental illness you people have. That we perfectly understand how rainfall happens... Evaporation, condensation.. Or rainbows... No spirits!!. can't we perfectly explain the system(s) without your vudu magic ??. Is like looking at a beautiful mountain Like Everest and say "Ooh come on. It can't create Itself.. God did it"!!. So does God create lightening and Rainbows according to you??. Or mountains??. why is it soo hard for you to extrapolate the same on the big bang and whatever??. Only that in the big bang we may not understand or know all the forces involved... but what we know about it so far, doesn't indicate some magic, (God) did it. That God created Gravity??. I can't believe this!!. Are you still living in the same century we are??.

Trillions of definitions. None the same.
