Ive been atheist for a while now, but I’m just realizing that I haven’t really heard both sides of the argument. No disrespect to Alex O’Connor, but I feel like sometimes the sources I’m getting this stuff from can be a little one-sided, and what better place to hear the other side, than right here?

This is not a good idea. You might attract the attention of the thumpers, Like Brother D.

Here is a question, how would you know you're talking to god just because a being much more powerful than you does miracles?

Could be satan, could be aliens. Turns out it's not possible to prove to finite organisms that you are infinite.

If you have the patience to watch a 1hr debate and want to see Alex debate someone on his level, I'd recommend his discussion with William Lane Craig on the Kalam cosmological argument.

There are people who absolutely hate Craig, but he's probably as deep as you get into complex apologetics. If you want someone who appeals more to the "common man," I'd recommend John Lennox and his debate with Hitchens.

If you want to save time, you can always look up clips or compilations on YouTube, but those tend to be less in-depth and more focused on "owns."

Yeah, you kinda got me wrong here. I'm definitely an atheist, but I don't like to decide things without properly researching it and hearing both sides. I'm probably not going to convert, but hey, go ahead and try, that's what I've set up here for you to do.

I recommend the video in which a dozen of established scientists react to his Kalam argument. It’s quite funny to see actual physicists reacting to his bold assertions with 0 math work behind them .

You don't need to convert.

The problem is that you think if you accept there is a creator and a creation you automatically become a christain believer. I guess you don't want that because you can't stand all the bullshit christian believers preach. Am I right?

I don't like abrahamic religions either but I needed answers anyway so I had to analyze as much information as I could including the bible. The more information you have, the better your approach is.

I suggest you check the eastern philosophies because there are a lot wise there that would allow you to understand better this reality. To me it's better to discuss about the nature of this existence rather than the existence of a "God".

Why would actual physicists have 0 math work behind them, especially when they are reacting to bold assertions? 🙃

I'm also a traditional atheist.

And also willing to be convinced otherwise.

Though I would require hard evidence.

Not myth and legend fantasy magical stuff.

What qualifies as hard evidence?
Personally I only believe the Earth revolves around the sun because of hearsay.

Of course there's scientific proofs, experiments,
But I've never actually 'preformed any of them.

I 'think I've read about them before,
But I've forgotten them.

True.

Everything is an internal simulation.

Sensory input signals converted into electro-chemical data.

We can only assume that the conversion process is reasonably accurate.
