In this podcast, I examine the kind of bull shit artistry aka modern sophistry utilized by Christian Apologists the likes of Sye Ten Bruggencate and William Lane Craig. To me these pseudo intellectual flim-flam artists often attempt to dazzle the credulous in an effort to make money and retain power.

Reblogged this on hitchens67 Atheism WOW!! Campaign and commented:
I hate that Buggercrate bastard!
Yes–he is easily the most arrogant and annoying with his reductionist “But are you sure it’s “true” ” bullshit…I mean, at least WLC can come off as knowledgeable–Sye just seems like a Cameron style smug smart ass…
This is the kind of idiot who enters a room without proof of his position and asks a scientist the “But are you sure” question. I enter with Hitchens’ “That which can be asserted without proof, can be dismissed without proof ” quote. The burden is on the believer because he is the one arguing a non-defensable subject!
Don’t you love how they attempt to shift the burned of proof–sophistry of the highest order. This is how bad it gets–I once had a woman argue with me, after I pointed out that science is demonstrable–that science needs evidence and isn’t wholly demonstrable…*blink, blink* what…the…fuck!
I have encountered this idiocy so many times. How people can be so deluded is sometimes beyond me.
it’s a near atomic face palm–lol
As for your demonstrative science, too frequently all that happens is “spontaneous generation”.
Not quite sure what you mean by that. When I say demonstrative, I mean 1 + 1 = 2. Mix two chemicals you, get X result. Employ aerodynamics and a plane takes off….
oh and hey thank you so much for the re-post–I appreciate it comrade *wink*
Thank YOU for the intelligent post!
Ahhh, I appreciate the kind words…I dunno–I am burned up enough to make 100 of such videos—lol
Keep doing it! There are so many of us out there that are listening!
*hugs* thank you so much!!!!
