@9:50 "a hypothetical 3D universe with a particle moving in space and time, the question remains the same: when, where and how it started from nothing(no time, space, matter/energy). Let's side aside metaphysical and explore the scientific side, the mathematics describing the origin is undefined at time <=0 .

Well now I have a lot more questions. Thanks a lot Sean!!! 😣

37:37. Richard Swinburne would rather posit a god or gods rather than posit physics that allows for an extraordinary number of universes. His error is in this: the astronomical number of universes is the result of a physical model that corresponds to the actual evidence. Adding a god or gods helps not at all. We still have the astronomical number of universes; but in addition we have an infinite being, an omni-god, that can break the “laws” of nature at will. If this is the case then our science theory cannot forbid anything, cannot predict anything, can no longer explain anything. Swinburne offers a false choice.

A claim has been made by some geneticists that the Homo line of primates was very close to extinction 900 Kya. If it had gone extinct, we would not be here. The alien from outer space would not conclude that this extinction was “meant to happen”, but only that it did happen. We evolved in a hospitable cranny of the universe that is otherwise inhospitable for life. It did not have to happen. It almost didn’t. End of story.

Carroll makes a funny, clever little dig at 32:12.It is possible to hypothesize that a god selected the parameters of the universe so that life/humans could survive. After all, what is the purpose of the universe if we do not exist? The arrogance of H. sapiens to assume that we are the reason for the universe, a universe that existed fine without us, will continue to exist once we are extinct. Someone comments on this video an adage they say is from Native American people: if dogs and horses conceive gods, then they conceive them as dogs and horses.

the biggest problem between religion and science is the boundary between the two. Religion should not explain how the universe works and science by explaining how the universe works can not get from its inner workings the existence of god or any other metaphysical cause. If one can deeply study the Ford Model A and profoundly understand all of its inner workings one cannot derive from it the existence of Henry Ford. we can imagine that an Henry Ford is needed to construct the Model A but no one can derive scientifically and mathematically the existence Henry Ford from it. Science deals with the inner workings of the universe and Religion deals with the moral nature of it. because we can't derive morals from its inner workings. Science can not proof that it's immoral to kill another human being.

For a smart man he's not very smart... I haven't taken any advanced classes and understand every bit of this and as much as he prides himself on not making assumptions and using science he makes alot of assumptions....

"God is not a good theory," but an infinite number of fully formed, human occupied universes that instantly and continuously branch off of each other like bubbles exploding out of a shaken bottle of champagne, is a better theory? Seriously?

It's nearsighted, ignorant & silly how proponents of science are a) seemingly happy and willing to hypothesize on the existence of conscious beings from other solar systems and/or galaxies, while b) still having no practical idea at all regarding what consciousness itself is, yet c) still presumptuously promote that consciousness, as the source of all existence, is a non-explanation. I don't agree with most (man-made) religions' presupposition that the top god is divinely masculine. I rather think the original word/sound was/is 'aum' and that it's the first form of shakti, the divine feminine, from which all other forms arise. In any case, it's the child's perspective that appearances matter most, which is analogous to science postulating that consciousness is an extension of the brain-&-nervous system, rather than the other way around. To sum up, as the great philosopher said, "Stupid is as stupid does."

I feel like you use the term scientific theory more like the word hypothesis. In science a theory is not just any idea that may or may not be true. Gravitational theory, plate tectonics, and germ theory are all categorized as theories, but that does mean that we don’t know that gravity is real, or how earth quakes start, or that pathogens exist. A theory is the highest level of understanding in science, while a hypothesis is more similar to your definition of a theory. God and gods are not a theory because they cannot be tested in any consistent way.

10:30 time stamp: It is still presuppositional to simply “have” the particle in existence. You cannot get around it.

But isn't HE the god of the 1 particle universe? :p

I just buy 5% of what this mate has said, don't use the word science in vain, this talk could be summarised in what he says in min 37:40. "This is not good science". The Great Contradiction of this man min 14:12 to 18:05 VS his closing phrase 52:45. Embarrassing

another empty intellectual defender of islam

thank goodness this prat got to live to see the downfall of Christianity, the burning of churches, and keir starmer bring in islam as the official protected ideology of britain, he deserves to live another 50 years to see what his hand wringing idiotic hen pecking bullshit has help proliferate.

Explain something that doesn't need explaining.

This scientific verbiage has left me more confused than before. I shall have to ponder these arguments carefully...

Physicalism is not sufficient either. It does not know how to explain consciousness and still does not have a theorie of quantum gravity. The standard Modell is a huge achievment but will be replaced bymodels which give up on time and space and have mind or god or whatever you want to call it as its primary principle. I am sorry current physicists are a bit like flat earthers they just do not want to give up on physicalism despite only having gigantic math models which cannot be falsified and do not make any predictions, it is a total mess.

Logic is bounded, God is not.

"His eye is on a sparrow" but yet he doesn't seem to mind when a meteor comes from and wipes out all of the dinosaurs. The argument from fine-tuning is weak at best. We are designed to live in a small pocket of the universe. The universe isn't designed just for us.

another systemic atheist mubbling bullshit

God isn’t a “theory.” Lol

He looks like a kid in the thumbnail but, It’s good theory because I started arguing with THEM about pre-destination long before I knew it was a thing in physics and what’s any of this about BUT arguing with someone about something? Anything.

Ok let’s say there is no God🤣 - why do you care? (Feelings😷) - survival of the fittest😎 🤣 -- And how are you so sure he’s not reproducible, If you’ve never GENUINELY SEEKED? 😂 Uhh uhh, YES THERES NO MILK BACK THERE - why? UHH BECAUSE I COULDNT SEE OR HEAR ANY (and someone told me that the milk would speak😷)😂

God is not a theory, just a fact And the facts are ALLL the evidence points to a creator (regardless of anyone’s opinion) “That’s how facts work” Plus if you really care about the truth (there’s also evidence against evolution) “Even tho there was none for it in the first place” 🤣 Evidence for God - a creation points to a creator - life does not come from non life (Something ETERNAL is Not Nothing 😂) - laws of the universe point to a law giver - (& everyone’s favorite - absolute morality) If everything was relative, murdering women and children would be acceptable as long as most people agree (Which is why JP says if you truly believe we came from nothing, Then there is no good or bad, so who are you to say what someone else is doing is bad, because it hurts your feelings?) I don’t think people who don’t have a conscious anymore, care about your feelings 😂 --- Plus the evidence against (Just ask) - but the real question is - why are yall so emotional about something you claim not to believe in (There is a reason) If yall were right, and everything came from nothing, according to that, “religious😷” people would just be good at playing survival of the fittest😷 (Even tho millions have been murdered all throughout history) (And will be murdered till the End “of this timeline”) So why be mad? 😂 --- Yall can get mad at your own creators “followers” (which is not known by their name tag😂) But that doesn’t change the facts And you can get mad at your creator and say - “I Don’t Understand - therefore you shouldn’t do blah blah blah” But your already assuming wrong - It’s not his fault, and even if it was, what can you do about it? --- And which “religion😷”? - none - Jesus is not a religion - (which you Will understand IF, you stop letting your preconceived biases (which were implanted) control you) - if you genuinely want to find who is your creator, ASK HIM YOURSELF - if you don’t Seek, you don’t FIND Yes there are difficult situations and questions, But they don’t change reality Reality is objective Perception is subjective --- And why do you think you would believe: - aliens (which coincidentally look exactly like the movies😂) - multiverses - no free will - (because Neil grass says habits make it difficult😢) Why would they want you to believe that? - plus ALLL the fear (turning small statistics - into something you actively put energy towards and think about) “Scientifically😷” - we create what we focus on and give energy too, You think the “experts😷” don’t know that? - when they tell you to be afraid of every little thing, cause you might get sick or die or “bad thing😷” (It’s implanted with a biased narrative “& emotion”, so when it comes back up, You’ll look at it negatively, and once you accept reality, You’ll blame it on your creator) ---- Since when did people shift from “not believing🤓” -> to hating😷 God ? I thought it was about the facts or evidence? (Spoiler alert it’s not) - but WHY? - no not “Gods fault😢🤬” --- OH YEA “Why bad things happen😢😷?” - because we all have a choice - choices can be influenced, but not forced (it’s complicated, but so is God😂) --- And there is no ultimate justice (which everyone wants & cries about) without him -- Again you can get mad without actually knowing anything, Or you can ask him yourself & find out - you don’t Seek, you Don’t FIND (which is a major point) -- It’s a choice, so you can’t really cry about it

Evidence free hypothesis

He dismisses philosophy, yet at the same time, he is using philosophy when he is talking about what is empirically testable and verifiable. Empiricism is an epistemological interpretation and that is from philosophy. Aristotle was an empiricist and not all philosophers sit in an armchair all day. The armchair philosophy is for the idealists who reason in vain. In fact, before 1833, Scientists were called Natural Philosophers. The word Scientist was coined in 1833 by William whewell, an Anglican Priest and Man of Science. To say it simply, Science emerged from it's Philosophical Roots, and when the growth of knowledge reached maturity, Science produced it's fruits!

This guy's abiity to think progressively has become petrified. If your not trying to move forward in this field than get out of the way and make room for those that are.

Wrong. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jalye7F1uavLh58.html

so how do we explain Revelation. is it a delusion of the human mind. the stupidity of the human brain is the arrogance to think we can explain or summarise what is far beyond our bandwidth.

“I posit a universe where God does not exist, thus God is not necessary” how does this have over a million views utter slop

30:11 Rebuttal of the Fine-Tuning Argument.

If you try to explain X with Y but can’t explain Y then you’re explanation of X is no explanation at all and since the eternality of god is inexplicable the proposition of god is pointless and adds nothing to our understanding but only removes our ignorance one step further away

I’d enjoy watching Sean debate John Lennox a mathematician who argues for gods existence from the cosmological constants Or William Craig Lane a good old fashioned bible bashing southern red neck preacher

To argue the universe and it's properties randomly came about is ironically an act of blind faith, we however pray with our eyes open. We understand that this life is a test of our belief and character, and that it wouldn't be much of a test if the answers were given during the test. By believing in Allah and attempting to lead a righteous life according to His guidance, even if we were wrong, we'd lose nothing. However the disbelievers will be in great humiliation on the day of reckoning and they follow nothing but assumptions. "For certain, We have guided him (to) the path, whether he be grateful or ungrateful" [Surah 76; Ayah 3]

All prime numbers are the product of irrational numbers, just saying.

Kids believe their Dad is the best Dad, grown-ups think their God(or Lack of God) is the best God( or lack of God). We never truly grow up.

Theory - The act of explaining or trying to explain something scientifically that can’t be fully explained or understood with our current limited understanding , based on the evidence collected…That’s why they’re still theories.. We should talk about Causality

There could be metaphysical explanations beyond our knowledge,understanding and awareness…

There’s intelligent design to the order of life and existence

What about Intelligent Design but without a God or figure behind it,but something greater and bigger

Maybe the focus shouldn’t be on the origin of the universe,but the origin of existence itself

Hi Sean,…The way I am understanding this is, the approach or an idea of the purpose of existence itself.. Is there a reason,purpose or explanation for existence itself.. What is the purpose of existence,is existence a requirement, does existence have a purpose and self awareness,is existence sentient?

Sean Carroll will blow your mind…especially if you have a basic understanding of physics. He recently sat down with Neil DeGrasse Tyson and it was incredible. So much more interesting than…because god did it.

This is interesting, although it'd be more interesting if je dodmt conflated idea and concept. The idea of god is not the same than a working concept of god. Numinous religion vs syetematic rational tbeology. Teying to talk about gid is like talking abojt force without physics.

The human brain (scientist or not) is very susceptible to pareidolia, apophenia, hallucinations, superstitions and gullibility; That's why religion has managed to fool so many people.

💚

I’d like to see a theological combat between this apostle and another.

To me, GOD is advanced civilization capable of creating..... probably everything.

theories !! we have endless types of it. too bad its all we have. nothing concrete as yet just our daily postulations for living. and controlling as much of it using money within religious arenas. too bad gods are just onlookers who we use as frontal facades
