The point is:
Chrissy, while slapping Ade, seems to be more concerned that it was in the bathroom and not the act itself.
Was Ade's hair in the toilet water?
Anything helps thanks
Summary of the argument:
If every trace and piece of knowledge of any given religion was purged from the earth, it would never be rediscovered or created in the same way again. It would not be observably and verifiably known again, and therefore is false.
The conclusion is obviously wrong for several reasons.
The argument assumes evidence exists permanently.
Evidence, even if not permanent, can still relay the truth. Say we lost evidence that Washington crossed the Delaware. Does that mean he did not cross the Delaware? It does not. If in one hundred thousand years, the original Declaration of Independence fades away and turns to dust. Does that mean the Declaration of Independence was just a fabricated story passed down from generation to generation? It does not. There are many historic examples that can illustrate my point, but let's look at scientific examples. Currently, we have fossil evidence for dinosaurs that is decaying. In however many amount of years, these fossils will have turned to dust and ash and we will no longer be able to study them and conclude that dinosaurs existed. Does this mean the T-Rex did not exist? It does not. In billions or even trillions of years there will be no evidence our sun ever existed, as well as perhaps even human civilization, or any kind of life on earth whatsoever. Does this mean these things never existed? It does not.
We are often unable to provide evidence for things that are later proven true. Jillette's argument assumes humans must fully substantiate any claim to knowledge before it can be true.
Even if humans in the moment are unable to discern possible evidence for something, that does not prove said thing false. Robert Hooke believed in cells before he was able to satisfy burden of proof to the scientific community of the time. Say all scientific advances in the past 1,000 years were erased, and no knowledge of any kind was passed on, like Jillette's hypothetical states. We might be completely unaware of Hooke's Cell Theory, all of Einstein's work, the Laws of Thermodynamics, and Newton's work, but that does not mean not all living things are composed of cells, that light does not travel at a constant speed, nothing tends towards decay, and gravity is nonexistent. We would simply just have a hard time of rediscovering these t

>During an episode of Penn’s Sunday School podcast, Penn Jillette revealed that he will be shooting a few scenes for the Borderlands movie. In the movie, Jillette will be playing a preacher overseeing a wedding, and there’s a fight scene that interrupts the nuptials. After the action is done, he ends up in a “space paddywagon” with Kevin Hart’s character Roland. Jillette said it’s a “very, very, very small part,” and most of the scenes will be with Hart.
Does Penn Jillette hold a grudge against Stanislaw Ulam for taking all the credit for the Teller-Ulam design along with Teller? What does he think about the project looking back?
"I can make the argument... that that the only ones with true morality are us, the atheists. We are doing good because it's good and are doing right because it's right, and not for reward or punishment. We have love for each other, we have community, we have charity..."
"There is no god and that’s the simple truth. If every trace of any single religion died out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again."
Loud tribal drums can be heard echoing through the jungle as a village elder is explaining the important people, art, and culture to a young man who has just married into the tribe.
The drumming stops and the village elder says “Uh oh, drumming stops! This bad!”
Nervously the young man asks “Why is that bad?”
“Bass solo starts now”.
The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what’s to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. The fact that these people think that if they didn’t have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine
