God Exists Because Bacteria Can Think (Dormanian Argument Round 2)
Published on Jan 3, 2018 by Logicked [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaFNs3ETMvkmy0JahAS6WJA / https://www.youtube.com/user/logicked , https://www.youtube.com/user/logicked/videos ]
The title isn’t a joke, it’s the title of the actual argument. Apparently we’re supposed to already believe the second half? Sorry if I repeated myself a little more than usual here. That happens when my brain starts to hurt.
Response to:
Theist Video Logicked Won't Likely Respond To Eagerly (Atheism Debunked)
"Distinctions cannot be made without negating, and negating cannot be made without making distinctions"
OUTLINE PROVIDED BELOW:
Here's my response to Logicked's "Another new argument for God! …presented poorly." I don't presently have good video equipment and no editing equipment so this is rather off-the cuff. But I have my say. Just as a correction, though: I meant to say "matter and form" in regards to Aristotle and "Theory of Descriptions" In regards to Bertrand Russell.
For those who think the argument is poorly presented here and too improvised, here's a brief outline I'm what I'm saying:
1) For something to survive, a thing has to make distinctions.*
2) For a thing to make distinctions, a thing has to have the ability to negate (e.g., distinguish good from not-good).**
3) Negation is conceptual.***
4) Yet the first known forms of life, although they had the ability to make distinctions, had no brains nor central nervous systems.****
5) Thus, the ability to mentally conceive need not come from brains nor nervous systems
6) Thus the physical must have a mental basis as the mental has a physical basis
7) Ultimately, these bases are one and the same (i.e., God and the Universe).
In other words, if mentality is ingrained in nature, then it makes sense that the universe is a brain-like entity, of which its mind would be the original mind.
*Even trees are known to communicate with one another and recognize their offspring.
**Distinctions are essentially to say: this as opposed to that; this, not that.... An ability that is either known directly by the organism, or known by the entity that programmed or processed the hard-wiring of the organism.
***That is to say, it adds to the experience beyond the experience itself. Without thought, one can only experience things that exist outright. Such a thing wouldn't have the ability to actively choose to exclude that which is to be avoided.
Negation is conceptual because, as all things have a dual aspect, otherwise EITHER everything would consist of itself yet in different space-times and different respects (e.g., an inside space-time/a beyond space-time) OR they'd be two things (thus, being and not being) occupying the same space-time and in the same respect (a physicality), despite the probable non-complementary inaccessibility of some of its associated oppositions (e.g., if you're on the outside of a surface, its underbelly may be inaccessible at the same time)
****Bacteria, one of the first and simplest forms of life, respond to specific molecules -- swimming toward higher concentrations of attractants and away from higher concentrations of repellants.

Statement by the Press Secretary on the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity
Issued on: January 3, 2018
Despite substantial evidence of voter fraud, many states have refused to provide the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity with basic information relevant to its inquiry. Rather than engage in endless legal battles at taxpayer expense, today President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order to dissolve the Commission, and he has asked the Department of Homeland Security to review its initial findings and determine next courses of action.

Scientists Can Now Quickly Link Extreme Weather Events To Climate Change (HBO)
Published on Jan 3, 2018 by VICE News [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZaT_X_mc0BI-djXOlfhqWQ / https://www.youtube.com/user/vicenews , https://www.youtube.com/user/vicenews/videos ]
The United States is in the middle of a deep cold snap, and meteorologists are saying that a “bomb cyclone” — essentially a freezing hurricane — will hit parts of the East Coast tonight. It's a weather cycle that's prompted a number of climate change deniers — including President Trump — to crack tired jokes about the concept of global warming.
But beyond the misguided social media jabs lies a serious and ongoing discussion about how scientists can connect individual extreme weather events to underlying climate change — and more importantly, how fast they can make now those connections.
Remember that study from 2004? It looked at a European heat wave that took place in 2003, and took a year and a half to complete. In contrast, just three months after Hurricane Harvey, scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory published a study showing that Harvey dropped 38 percent more rain than it would have without underlying climate change. Another group called World Weather Attribution found that hurricanes that size have become three times more probable
VICE News spoke with Myles Allen, a climate scientist at the University of Oxford and one of the researchers behind the first climate attribution study, who explained why scientists are now able to rapidly figure out if an event like Hurricane Harvey was more devastating than it otherwise would have been because of climate change. (Answer: it was.)
"We are now looking at accelerating that whole process because once you've agreed on the method you're using, you don't need to reinvent the wheel every time you do a new study," Allen told VICE News. "The actual time it takes to actually do the calculations is not that long."
This segment originally aired January 3, 2017 on VICE News Tonight on HBO.

God Exists Because Bacteria Can Think (Dormanian Argument Round 2)

The title isn’t a joke, it’s the title of the actual argument. Apparently we’re supposed to already believe the second half? Sorry if I repeated myself a little more than usual here. That happens when my brain starts to hurt.
Response to:
Theist Video Logicked Won't Likely Respond To Eagerly (Atheism Debunked)
Published on Nov 19, 2017 by Rational Belief In God [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8tyNiDLFXxnxbXbQ_XeWbg / https://www.youtube.com/user/namesameasu , https://www.youtube.com/user/namesameasu/videos ]
"Distinctions cannot be made without negating, and negating cannot be made without making distinctions"
OUTLINE PROVIDED BELOW:
Here's my response to Logicked's "Another new argument for God! …presented poorly." I don't presently have good video equipment and no editing equipment so this is rather off-the cuff. But I have my say. Just as a correction, though: I meant to say "matter and form" in regards to Aristotle and "Theory of Descriptions" In regards to Bertrand Russell.
For those who think the argument is poorly presented here and too improvised, here's a brief outline I'm what I'm saying:
1) For something to survive, a thing has to make distinctions.*
2) For a thing to make distinctions, a thing has to have the ability to negate (e.g., distinguish good from not-good).**
3) Negation is conceptual.***
4) Yet the first known forms of life, although they had the ability to make distinctions, had no brains nor central nervous systems.****
5) Thus, the ability to mentally conceive need not come from brains nor nervous systems
6) Thus the physical must have a mental basis as the mental has a physical basis
7) Ultimately, these bases are one and the same (i.e., God and the Universe).
In other words, if mentality is ingrained in nature, then it makes sense that the universe is a brain-like entity, of which its mind would be the original mind.
*Even trees are known to communicate with one another and recognize their offspring.
**Distinctions are essentially to say: this as opposed to that; this, not that.... An ability that is either known directly by the organism, or known by the entity that programmed or processed the hard-wiring of the organism.
***That is to say, it adds to the experience beyond the experience itself. Without thought, one can only experience things that exist outright. Such a thing wouldn't have the ability to actively choose to exclude that which is to be avoided.
Negation is conceptual because, as all things have a dual aspect, otherwise EITHER everything would consist of itself yet in different space-times and different respects (e.g., an inside space-time/a beyond space-time) OR they'd be two things (thus, being and not being) occupying the same space-time and in the same respect (a physicality), despite the probable non-complementary inaccessibility of some of its associated oppositions (e.g., if you're on the outside of a surface, its underbelly may be inaccessible at the same time)
****Bacteria, one of the first and simplest forms of life, respond to specific molecules -- swimming toward higher concentrations of attractants and away from higher concentrations of repellants.

Statement by the Press Secretary on the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity
Issued on: January 3, 2018
Despite substantial evidence of voter fraud, many states have refused to provide the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity with basic information relevant to its inquiry. Rather than engage in endless legal battles at taxpayer expense, today President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order to dissolve the Commission, and he has asked the Department of Homeland Security to review its initial findings and determine next courses of action.

Scientists Can Now Quickly Link Extreme Weather Events To Climate Change (HBO)
Published on Jan 3, 2018 by VICE News [ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZaT_X_mc0BI-djXOlfhqWQ / https://www.youtube.com/user/vicenews , https://www.youtube.com/user/vicenews/videos ]
The United States is in the middle of a deep cold snap, and meteorologists are saying that a “bomb cyclone” — essentially a freezing hurricane — will hit parts of the East Coast tonight. It's a weather cycle that's prompted a number of climate change deniers — including President Trump — to crack tired jokes about the concept of global warming.
But beyond the misguided social media jabs lies a serious and ongoing discussion about how scientists can connect individual extreme weather events to underlying climate change — and more importantly, how fast they can make now those connections.
Remember that study from 2004? It looked at a European heat wave that took place in 2003, and took a year and a half to complete. In contrast, just three months after Hurricane Harvey, scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory published a study showing that Harvey dropped 38 percent more rain than it would have without underlying climate change. Another group called World Weather Attribution found that hurricanes that size have become three times more probable
VICE News spoke with Myles Allen, a climate scientist at the University of Oxford and one of the researchers behind the first climate attribution study, who explained why scientists are now able to rapidly figure out if an event like Hurricane Harvey was more devastating than it otherwise would have been because of climate change. (Answer: it was.)
"We are now looking at accelerating that whole process because once you've agreed on the method you're using, you don't need to reinvent the wheel every time you do a new study," Allen told VICE News. "The actual time it takes to actually do the calculations is not that long."
This segment originally aired January 3, 2017 on VICE News Tonight on HBO.

Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort has sued special counsel Robert Mueller, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and the Department of Justice in U.S. federal court
"The actions of DOJ and Mr. Rosenstein in issuing the Appointment Order, and Mr. Mueller's actions pursuant to the authority the Order granted him, were arbitrary, capricious, and not in accordance with the law," the suit reads.
