"Atheists made this up because they KNOW God exists!" ...But We Didn't


Teacher or professor: Genetically Modified Skeptic
Subject: Critical Thinking
Content of the Lesson: Apologist Frank Turek says that atheist scientists made up a certain idea for the sole purpose of denying the teleological argument and rejecting god. That idea? Hugh Everett's Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics. Yeah... he's way off. In a previous video, "'Atheists can't answer this question' ...But We Can'" I discussed Frank Turek's misrepresentation of scientific concepts like DNA replication and natural selection. This time, I'm addressing his misrepresentation of what he calls the "multiple universe theory" or the "multiverse theory." Through the examination of Turek's rhetoric here, it's easy to spot some key differences between theology (and apologetics) and scientific fields. If you want to dismantle the idea of the multiverse, you might want to take that up with the work of Sean Carroll, Stephen Hawking, and the like. Positing unfalsifiable theological ideas won't help you there. -------------------------------------------FOLLOW------------------------------------------- Twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_skeptic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GMSkeptic/ Discord: https://discord.gg/b2tABbV -------------------------------------------SUPPORT------------------------------------------- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GeneticallyModifiedSkeptic PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/GMSkeptic -------------------------------------------Resources for atheists in need------------------------------------------- Find a Secular Therapist: https://www.seculartherapy.org Recovering from Religion helps connect those who are leaving or have left their religion with support, resources and community: https://www.recoveringfromreligion.org/#rfr-welcome Resources for Ex-Mu’s: https://exmuslims.org/join-us/ Sources: Many Worlds Interpretation https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-manyworlds/?fbclid=IwAR0HltsvSK5Mjh7Lfm_b3yKVp_bWL_aDWgdx4TreJ0lmjoIQToqxrHApVvU Wiki on Hugh Everett https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Everett_III?fbclid=IwAR3Hrfe051LSW9-va_XhoLH60B81kE8E_HpymKQ0pMIhIjWCjD2rMC1XXko Veritasium video on the interpretation https://youtu.be/kTXTPe3wahc PBS Space Time video on the interpretation https://youtu.be/dzKWfw68M5U 1st Turek video (youtube version) https://youtu.be/60sPMFBA6Ps 2nd Turek video https://youtu.be/VTeHYfJTT0c Paul Davies on the multiverse https://youtu.be/a-4N0Mclb6o This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.* *This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA
