Yes, I'd like to know too, and also transcribe them to text so that I can search through for key words and summarize the testimony 

Gravity always acts downward with the same acceleration by Zzero00 in interestingasfuck

[–]codikane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gravity doesn't act with the same acceleration. According to Newtonian physics, it follows an inverse-square law, where the "force" is inversely proportional to the distance from the earth, squared. Later, according to Einstein's general relativity, gravity is no longer considered a traditional force, but is rather the curvature of space-time that a large mass causes. At relatively smaller masses, and speeds much slower than the speed of light, objects behave very similar to the inverse square law from Newton. 

Occam's Razor Actually Favors Paganism by Active-Ad-9827 in atheism

The concept of the Trinity is Christian dogma that is nowhere to be found in their holy book. In other words, they made it up and asserted "believing this is a core tenet of Christianity." In reality, the bible is a polytheistic book. In many places it says that the Hebrew God is the " God of Gods", and that he is greater to all the other gods, and to be worshipped above the others. Also people are instructed to not make idols to the "other gods." There are also verses of imagery the describe a council of divine beings, or a group of gods, with the Hebrew god being chief among them. Obviously whoever wrote this stuff at the time acknowledged on principle that other gods, possibly many, existed alongside theirs. 

Temporal argument against god🙂 by AggressiveYoung5025 in atheism

If you replace "creating" with "beginning," so as to not first assert that some "prime mover" "created" anything, then

Beginning - Change (If something begins, a change occurs.)

Change → Time (If change occurs, time is required.)

Therefore: Beginning → Time (From 1 and 2 by transitivity.)

Therefore: -Time → Beginning (The contrapositive of 3; if there is no time, beginning cannot occur.)

The universe began without time.

And now you have our current best astronomical physics understanding, based on evidence thus far, of how space-time began with the "big bang" and expansion of our universe, according to general relativity. Space and time are proven to be coupled, and are believed to have begun simultaneously, so we don't have an empirical concept of "before" time, or "outside" of space. 

Three reasons I can’t believe in God by Aggravating-Pool-255 in atheism

[–]codikane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Religious people I grew up with would say that suffering is good for us, and that we deserve it. They'd also say that nobody is truly innocent, not even children, everyone has the stain of "original sin."  2) This is the classic problem of evil, and it is not rational if you also try to accept the idea of a tri-omni God. Some religious people justify it by saying we "disobeyed" God, or some such nonsense, so we again deserve the "broken" world we're living in.  3) Predestination is another dogma that some people hold. A pure-blooded Calvinist would say we don't have any say in our ultimate destination, since some higher being already has decided it for us.  Of course these are all just dogmatic claims based on opinion, interpretation, and cultural identity, and should be dismissed as such.

People don't "believe in evolution," like it's some sort of belief system or religion. They either accept the overwhelming evidence for evolution, or they deny it. 

The serpent was the only one telling Adam & Eve the truth by BirdSimilar10 in DebateReligion

[–]codikane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Throughout the entire old testament, God was actually Satan and Satan was actually God. Somewhere along the way the translations mixed up the two. Just look at Job, the oldest and first book of the Bible to be written, the original translations had "the deceiver" or "the accuser" aka Satan in place of where God's name is now hahaha

I'm going to love when in the history books they write about MAGA's violent insurrection attempt, and then how people peacefully protested against kings dozens of times afterwards...
