Ep 103: Cordial Curiosity | Frank | I Have No Other Proof for God | Street Epistemology Los Angeles, CA 23 November 2016 Twitter: http://twitter.com/cordialcurious Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cordial_cur Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/civildiscour Music provided by Chet Hovatter. Beliefs, Claims & Opinions: 00:49 | God is much more powerful than the God(s) of religion. 03:05 | I don't believe in the concept of religion due to their contradictory nature. 04:12 | Religion doesn't make sense. The Adam and Eve story, for example, brings a lot of questions to mind. 06:02 | The Bible stories are unreliable because they were written so long after the original events. 09:51 | I'm a child of belief. 11:05 | You can believe in something that may be true for you, but in reality, may not be true. 14:48 | God is beautiful. I have to be good because god gave me a chance to be here. Regardless of religion. 15:38 | Someone can be good without a god. Confidence Level: 02:47 | I believe in my heart. It's my belief. 12:44 | I'm not sure it's true. Reasons for Belief: 01:05 | Scientists are continuously revealing evidence of planets like ours, proving the power of god. 07:24 | Beautiful things are evidence of god. I attribute whatever I see as beautiful to god and what's ugly to man. 08:33 | Everything science reveals about how the world works is evidence of the god. 09:13 | It's just a belief. There's only two ways the world came to be. Science's "doctrine" says that it came to be by accident. I believe it came to be by a creator. 10:13 | I have no proof. 10:20 | I like logic. Anything that makes sense to me, I'll accept. Anything that doesn't, I won't accept. 11:52 | My proof is the beauty of creation. 12:20 | I do not want to accept the scientific explanation of how the world came to be. I want to believe god did it. 13:48 | God's existence can be justified because I have life. 14:10 | I attributes all of these (positive) things in life to god. That I'm not an accident. 16:20 | I was brainwashed as a child. It's difficult to deny. 16:52 | I cannot deny it. Questions: 07:18 | Is there any reliable way to know if the god you believe in is true? 09:04 | Is there anything you could find out to change your confidence? 10:16 | Do you want to believe in things that are true? 10:52 | Is just believing something is true a reliable way to know if it's true? 12:07 | Is it possible this world could have been created without a god? 12:25 | Does the preference one has for a belief matter about the truth of it? 13:25 | Just because something makes sense to you, does that make it true? 13:38 | Is there any way to be more justified in the belief? 14:21 | How do you know your attributions are correct? 14:43 | What's this belief doing for you? 15:32 | Is there any way to be good without a god? 16:08 | If it's possible to be good without a god, why believe? __ Twitter: http://twitter.com/cordialcurious Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cordial_cur Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/civildiscour
