We think God has a humanlike shape, characteristics and behaviors of humans because we are humans. God is more than we think, the limit of our knowledge today. Yet, because of some people's fanatism, we fight in religious dogmas on things we are not sure of, instead of searching for our real needs: happiness, welfare and good relations.

This is rather as if you imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for. Douglas Adams

The fine-tuning argument is ultimately self-defeating: “This universe is so complex and “fine-tuned”, that can only be explained by a creature which is infinitely more complex and “fine-tuned”, which doesn’t need an explanation of course!” If our great but still far from perfect universe needs a designer, so does the creator of this universe, who is necessarily “greater”, more “fine-tuned” than our universe.

EXACTLY!! ❤️🙏🏻🌈🥰 My favorite quote in this regard is Isaac Newton about calculus being “a seashell on a beach to a child” while the whole vast ocean of truth lay before him undiscovered. Or the Taoist ”the Tao that can be spoken is not the real Tao” Both of which I live by. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t find new things, that there are not truthful symbols. When we read a book, where is the meaning? It does not exist in the black squiggles on the page. And we can later come back to the same book and see so much more. But it’s the same book! Or is it? The act of reading is symbolic of life. The reading is the progress of evolution. Which is why animals can be ranked so to speak, but also learned from as symbols. So they are at the same time much more valuable and intimately related to humans than generally realized. Same thing with plants.

Let neuroscience study how human need for safety, hope and meaning created a God out of nowhere. Or not. My personal belief is that we, people in the 21st century, are obliged to talk about God, only because our ancestors set it on the table at the very beginning. Thousands of years ago, people had no better tools than religion in order to understand the world around them. But, hey! Today we are not obliged to ruminate all this stuff about God and life after death etc. Also our ancestors had to make rituals around the tribe's fire. But hey! This isn't mandatory for us today. Let's move on. Lets forget about this once and for all. We have no reason thinking about Gods and life after death. Today our life is different. Let's free ourselves. Lets save time and energy for real problems that actually exist today. Existential problems. Ochham's razor, afterall, dictates us towards more empirical, materialistic, physical studies of the world. If no ancestor of ours had ever thought about the existence of God, then I have no doubt that nobody would still argue about this stuff. Lets leave the "Neanderthal's beliefs" behind. Its ok. This is not our problem any more. We are mature now. We can handle our own existence better. We dont need mommy's/daddy's hug (God). We don't need existential comfort in order to move on with our lives. We are free and powerful to explore and taste the world! No God has ever existed. In any form. We don't need to think about it. We dont have to argue about it. We don't have to apologise for that. This is TOTALLY OK!

God is neither an engineer, nor a scientist. Being any of those, would imply that God makes calculations, drawings, etc which can be proven would make a design of the universe impossible. But, as we do not make calculations to move an arm, or to transform electromagnetic radiation into light inside of our skulls, God likewise makes the Universe happen NOW, instantly in the eternal present , without design or calculation, just as we pick our noses without thinking and only wishing to do so. Therefore the Universe is created only by one thing very closely resembling magic emanating from the center of our own bodies.

The ''fine tuning'' conundrum may be resolved if the universe is assumed to exit forever.

So clearly we are in a phase/eon of the universe with the present values of the natural constants that are obviously consistent with our presence in it.

@@flyingmonkey3822 No determinist denies the existence of causality or necessity. But the word 'cause' is extremely slippery.

All these words represent incredibly subtle, complex concepts. So when a religious person starts talking about causality they tend to have an extremely simple, blunt understandings of the concept. And if you're trying to deny the existence of uncaused events, like radioactive decay or quantum field fluctuations, then you're just arguing with reality.
@flyingmonkey38224 роки тому
@@thesprawl2361 I think that Dr Carroll should be self consistent in his physics. You are of course correct that our definition of a concept should evolve to either encompass new aspects of the thing it is attempting to describe or new words should emerge if the concept is no longer tenable. I very much appreciate the lucidity with which Dr. Carroll speaks, but i find that he also equivocates on definitions. I would like to take his same concept that he uses to describe why the arrow of time moves only in one direction and show why this description is completely consistent with causality and radioactive decay, quantum field evolution, and the beginning of the universe. I very much liked what he said during his debate with Dr William Lane Craig when he said that "our metaphysics should follow our physics", and also thank him for his story about "the principle of sufficient reason" as I also had no idea why it was called that until hearing him speak! I enjoy his lectures, and his contributions to science and especially to his popularizing engagement with quantum theory. I just think that if he's going to take the many worlds interpretation that he's got a LOT of explaining to do, the least of which is that it violates the Born rule (or does not return it) and therefore does not return predictable results. If ever we should abandon a theory, it would be because it predicts nothing. Yet he holds to it as a sledgehammer to the concepts which normal people observe in their everyday lives. He has to justify his reason for thinking that the wave function becomes real at every split, when we definitionally have no evidence for universes that are no longer connected to our own. It also assumes that there is a more fundamental bubble universe that effervesces universes like ours into being. BUT the more reasonable interpretation is that many universes are possible, and in each quantum evolution of the waveform that it must choose a path. It is possible to stay unchanged, but that is only one possibility state. On this idea, the reason that radioactive particles decay is that there are more universes in which it can be decayed than ones in which it is not. Purely statistically, it will have such a dilute space to exist as a particle that it will decay eventually. The "cause" is then that the dividing action of universes separating will average out to one in which we see our physics play out. It is not possible for each planck moment to pass without a change in it's universal state, only in it's local state. Interacting with the universe along this splitting paradigm "causes" the events we see. When a portion of the quantum vacuum changes to a state where it has traded regularity in frequency for location we will see it "pop" up a "particle". Is it possible for it to change universal states and not fluctuate? is it necessary that it's variations "unfreeze" and choose another state? When concentrated to a definiteness in one measurable aspect, can it do anything but continue interacting with the ever changing and diluting universal state? I'm not aware of evidence of this. I have more questions regarding how it is that we "jump" planck moments, and why it is that non-local interaction cannot be avoided... but it seems that between choosing A to interact further and Not A to choose to stop interacting... that we have no choice but to interact. If that is not determinism and causality... please help me see where i'm wrong. I'm open to hearing this, it IS all new to me and I don't have a formal education in it. P1) Every thing that can begin to exist or cease to exist is instead dependent on a more fundamentally existing thing that does not begin or cease to exist. P2) the universe began to exist. C) the universe depends on a more fundamentally existing thing. It's the same thing as the original cosmological argument but with updated assumptions regarding what it means to exist (be able to interact with it) or to begin and cease to begin (depending on it's current state) that are consistent with QM. So, an electron-positron pair that eventually occupy substantially the same space would exist while traveling towards each other and then stop existing in their current form but change form while conserving their properties of momentum etc. This observation can reliably lead us to deduce that there is something more fundamental to the universe.

My mother isn't more fundamental than me just because she 'caused' me. But forget that.) Even if I were to accept the first premise, I most definitely do not accept the second. Firstly, what makes you certain that the universe began to exist? Sure, we had a Big Bang, but you know that many, perhaps most, physicists do not consider that to be the beginning of the universe/multiverse/reality. And again we hit upon the problems of definitions: what does it mean for something to 'begin to exist'? Have you ever seen anything begin to exist? No. You've seen matter and energy change form, you've seen that fundamental relationship fluctuate...but you've never seen something 'begin to exist' in the sense that you're talking about.

ShowMe Agree completely on your philosophy of science. However, religions have been enormously useful in encoding "how to" type information distilled over thousands of years, for example take the greek mythical constellations: in part, they are mnemonic devices for remembering the star patterns so useful in agriculture and navigation. Granted, one could use Ptolemaic calculations to navigate without reference to any mythology (and they did), but the point remains that religion served to teach about the star patterns and their movement.

In the section starting 44:09, Dr Carroll concludes that P(low entropy|God) = 10^-(10^120). An unimaginably tiny number. But why would P(low entropy|naturalism) be any greater? So, theists can say, a natural explanation would benefit the theism hypothesis just as much as the naturalism hypothesis. That's not a defeat for theism, just because God doesn't provide any predictive power there. It just means that it's not evidence in favour of naturalism or theism.

This was much better than I'd thought it would be - physicists have a tendency, not entirely unwarranted, to give a facile dismissal of a dumb claim and then move on... because it's dumb and that's all they think it needs - _but the proponents usually have thought of that already._ In this case, Dr. Carroll has anticipated and dealt with all of the usual responses already. Nice! I also ultimately agree with essentially all of this; MWI seems very likely to be the winner among quantum-physical interpretations. _...that said,_ I think there's a stone left unturned re: "reasons." The claim "everything needs a reason" might be closer to something like "two plus two is four", or "A is A", than it is to "momentum is conserved" - that is, some things are such that we cannot really make do without them, and hence we either _must_ apply them to theories re: universal origins... ...or else throw up our hands. (As in the case of some idea like "when did time begin?", say: it's probably a malformed question... but it's not clear what the alternative could be, either!)

Let neuroscience study how human need for safety, hope and meaning created a God out of nowhere. Or not. My personal belief is that we, people in the 21st century, are obliged to talk about God, only because our ancestors set it on the table at the very beginning. Thousands of years ago, people had no better tools than religion in order to understand the world around them. But, hey! Today we are not obliged to ruminate all this stuff about God and life after death etc. Also our ancestors had to make rituals around the tribe's fire. But hey! This isn't mandatory for us today. Let's move on. Lets forget about this once and for all. We have no reason thinking about Gods and life after death. Today our life is different. Let's free ourselves. Lets save time and energy for real problems that actually exist today. Existential problems. Ochham's razor, afterall, dictates us towards more empirical, materialistic, physical studies of the world. If no ancestor of ours had ever thought about the existence of God, then I have no doubt that nobody would still argue about this stuff. Lets leave the "Neanderthal's beliefs" behind. Its ok. This is not our problem any more. We are mature now. We can handle our own existence better. We dont need mommy's/daddy's hug (God). We don't need existential comfort in order to move on with our lives. We are free and powerful to explore and taste the world! No God has ever existed. In any form. We don't need to think about it. We dont have to argue about it. We don't have to apologise for that. This is TOTALLY OK!

When a non-football fan chooses to watch basketball they don't do it as a way of supporting not playing football it's a totally separate issue. Atheism is the same, there are good atheists and there are bad atheists but being a bad peorson who does bad things has nothing to do with your lack of belief, at best that would apply to anti-theists. However when it comes to jihadists who kill themselves because their belief in their holy book then that would be a fair judgement to levy against them, it isn't factually wrong to say they do horrible things because their interpretation of faith compels them to. And on the topic of science an interesting to note is science is the only discipline that has a way of self-filtering itself. Everyone has biases, there are scientists who promote bad science definitely. But the reason we have the scientific method is to filter out biases, science doesn't care what the scientists' biases are, whatever is demonstrable will always be demonstrable when repeated under the same constraints. And it isn't just demonstrability but also falsifiability, it's not just about asking a question by seeing how it can be proved but also asking whether a question is even sensible to ask in the first place by seeing how it can be disproved (E.g. if I say monsters always hide under your bed and use their aura to make you scared but they disappear when you look no matter what then it's not falsifiable and until the time where there is evidence it's not a rational fear to have) Stuff like that is important and that isn't just limited to physical phenomena but to life as a whole.

Postulating that mathematical objects are real entities, that they should be part of our ontology, *is* ontologically extravagant. You can say that mathematical objects shouldn't be considered "things". I.e., you can say that "there is" should be understood to mean something different when you say "there is a city in Nebraska with over 150 zipcars" than it does when you say "there is a prime that can be written as the sum of five cubes but not as the sum of two cubes". And if you do that, your list of "things" is a lot smaller. The question is whether you've gained anything by that. I think that including mathematical objects in your ontology is perfectly reasonable, but that's because I think that being ontologically extravagant is perfectly ok. If there's an empirical reason to believe that some type of things is scarce, then there's an empirical reason to doubt a hypothesis that entails the existence of lots of things of that type. But beyond the scope of such an empirical basis, there's no good reason to insist that ontologies have to be small.

It isn't. It may not even be the end of our observational data.

Hope we're not stuck in a time loop of 10 billion yrs. This all sounds familiar.

This intellectual presentation to a class reflects what gaining knowledge in college should be all about. Improved IQ requires getting the facts straight and expressing yourself accordingly.

I'm perry sure you can't improve your IQ, I'd like to know how someone would benefit from watching this, before taking an IQ test, how would the results be any different? Have you ever taken an IQ test? They wouldn't benefit because thats not how IQ works, but it would be a very pointless experiment.

@@Himmelvakt this is a misconception. IQ can be improved upto 20 points by training. It's not some all powerful value that defines your brain.

Define ‘facts’. Because most scientific creation and evolution theories are not in fact, ‘facts’.

Very good questions you have raised in your presentation. I suggest you study Sikh Faith and contrary to all faiths, there are a set of instructions in this faith. 1) Talking about big bang 2) Evil is not an entity opposing God but Evil as a set of our own bad habits that can be controlled by us 3) it also talks about multiverse and collapse of universe and rebirth of this universe and all others again and again. 4) it talks about Physical laws provided to the universes and creation in itself according to which all creation move 5) Finally God cannot be found in some random place in clouds but is within the creation. So instructions are clearly there and are entirely scientific if we are willing to open our minds and understand them.

Also a question of equality was raised. One of the most important ones in today’s time. I loved this question. Sikh Faith says “Ek Noor Teh Sab Jug Upjya Kon bhale Koh Mande” which translates to “the whole creation can from the same source, so who is good and who is bad?” No one is good or bad but we become good and bad with our actions and thoughts. So all are equal and we become closer and farther from the creator within by our actions and thoughts. There isn’t even a question of lack of equality in this faith

The term Theory in science has a more robust meaning. A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world and universe that has been repeatedly tested and corroborated in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results.

I hate that this is the case honestly. It creates so much unnecessary confusion. Its very difficult to convince someone that a word doesn't mean what they think it does.

I think the only thing missing from this was a mic drop and a peace sign as he kicks the door open to leave.
