Leading experts discuss science, philosophy, and nature.
Climate change and religion. Are they linked?
Apologists and counter-apologists often debate the utility of religion. But in my experience, they almost never discuss what could be its most important impact of all.

How can Kerr talk about a geodesic when the space-time gravity well has become fully perpendicular (from the singularity)? How can Kerr talk about continuing time when time has terminated in a Planck time string (singularity)?

Blackholes does not exist why will the Creator of the Universe destroy matter.He made the Universe a perfect recycle bin and if you destroy matter it breaks His law.A star explodes because their is a natural law set that limit the mass a particle can attain before it gets unstable and cause fission.When this stage is reached the star will explode to keep gravity positive.See the writing of Daniel Fry.

Good discussion. Always enjoy Alex, such a lucid thinker.

Here is why virtually every attempt to debunk the FTA ends up in failure- Multiverse: No evidence, suffers from the measure problem. Read the paper “Mathematical Issues in Eternal Inflation” by I.S. Kohli for a refutation of Linde’s chaotic inflationary theory. Normalization: This so-called issue is nullified by dimensional (mass energy) constants. Some argue that the FTA fails because the constants can take an infinite value - this claim is false because dimensional constants ARE bounded by the Planck scale. This is only a problem for dimensionless constants such as fine structure constant. Fine tuning implies naturalism because God would make us in a none-fine tuned universe: Remember the syllogism by William Lane Craig on the FTA? Either due to physical necessity, chance or design? If you insist God could make us/life in a none-fine tuned universe than it simply adds “miracle” to the premises. The syllogism becomes that fine tunning is either: physical necessity, chance, design, or miracle. IT IS NOT due to physical necessity, chance, or miracle; it can still be design!
The many universes hypothesis is one of the primary explanations for resolving the problems in quantum mechanics, that has *nothing at all* to do with explaining tuning.
You are correct. Even if the MWI of quantum mechanics is correct it wouldn't solve fine tuning.
Penrose is the most remarkable person on another level.
Only thing I understood was Penrose explanation of time.
Pain perception seems like it would be the first evolutionary step. Prevention of death in relation to un-necessary harm due to pain. Even humans don't experience pain in deadly circumstances, such as deadly gas inhilation.
I never used the multiverse as a counterargument, it seems weak to me, but i never noticed the fallacy, but the thing is, fine tuning doesnt get us to a god, is more like just a fact, kinda, because by start we don't have other universe to compare to see if life could appear there, but also, to say that fine tuning points to a god because of life, 1. Is a Survivor bias/fallacy, thats really an anthropocentric view, because i mean, we are life, and we feel special (because evolución) and that is something religion gives to people, a special meaning in this careless massive void we live, but i don't care, i'm happy living i'm the coldness of the universe, maybe thats why theists intuitively concludes in a god with the fine tune argument but doesnt work for me and others. Good video, i Will rewatch because you have lot of arguments i really need to think about in detail
The point of the “multiverse hypothesis” is that it changes whether you should expect to be able to explain 2 or 3 constants of nature through observable dynamics. Weinberg argued that if you had a theory where different vacua realize different values of constants AND there is a way of having sample/realize all these vacua, then there maybe no reason that (eg) Newton’s constant divided by Fermi’s constant is 10^-38. Linde along with Farhi and Guth had already given the second in the late 70s and early 80s. Constructions of non-supersymmetric string theory vacua from the early 00s (eg Bousso Polchinski or KKLT) gave the first. The absence of any evidence of dynamics from colliders such as the LHC show (as well as indirect probes) indicate that there isn’t anything going on immediately above the weak scale. This gives evidence that the parameters are “tuned” to some degree. It just means that explaining parameters isn’t an interesting question. Honestly with exception of gauge coupling constant unification, explaining parameters has always been a dry well after the Standard Model was established. (Obv. Gell-Man did great in the 50s and early 60s) We will probably never know if the multiverse is realized because it doesn’t leave any physical effect on the observable universe. Maybe it’s not true and the universe is just fine tuned. Still makes the same effect - there isn’t anything to discover or explain - GN/GF is what it is.
Now, this.. is interesting. Hope this format, and video, blows up. It would spark a really important conversation. Link this to all of them! U all are going to farm views while providing good info and content.

Thats just in the USA. From the same article. "These patterns are heavily influenced by politics. Evangelical Protestants largely identify with the GOP, and Republicans are less likely than the overall public to say the Earth’s warming is mostly caused by human activity. Evangelicals and Republicans also are less inclined than the general public to see climate change as a serious problem, as well as to say various negative consequences are likely to occur in the coming decades because of global warming. Meanwhile, atheists and adults who identify with other, non-Christian religions are mostly Democrats, who tend to be much more alarmed about climate change and supportive of government actions to combat it."
But the USA is the larget emitter of Co2 so this is enough

@3:30 "... Multiburps... nothing to worry 'bout." --- this is the *_actual_* big fraud. It is perfectly fine to have some sort of "cosmic darwinist" hypothesis, but it's not science unless there's an explanation for the existence of the evolutionary dynamics. And there is none in currently known quantum physics/cosmology‡. Note, biological Darwinism is not a physical theory in itself, it is a framework, it depends upon a substrate (spacetime, matter, chemistry, stars, planets, all the rest). ‡ Some people used to argue that inflaton fields can supply a bubble nucleation multiburp scenario, but this has all but been thoroughly ruled out now by the CMBR data (it'll be absolutely ruled out within errors by the next data release probably), which shows there are no tensor polarization modes other than trivial guassian, and that's incompatible with all plausible inflationary bubble hypotheses. There are no primordial long-wave gravity waves in evidence. This kills the entire theory of the inflaton and also bubble universe nucleation theories.
Religion is a Santa Claus or Tooth Fairy story for grown ups that didn't grow up!
NONSENSE - fix the measure theory and respect the sampling theorems… undergraduate EEs understand but physicists learn their mathematics in the physics departments so they are dumb and loose over 30% of the required mathematical background every generation of physicists. Space-Times is a discrete lattice based on Planck’s Constant… measure theory holds the answers… like using para-statistics for our very tiny transistors who are not following Fermi-Dirac Statistics, 1977, Denton, TX. Measure Theory is the last and best richest place to find what we are looking for!
Is it not true that cults exists because skepticism does not provide the answers to the meaning of life?
whats the evidence for that ?
@@PhilHalper1 Cults attract people through offering a sense of meaning, providing a strong sense of belonging and community, often with charismatic leadership, fulfilling a desire, touching on self-esteem, exploiting vulnerability, using manipulation and deception, instilling fear and intimidation, promising knowledge or enlightenment, appealing to the desire to change the world, and employing psychological manipulation and indoctrination. These factors draw people in, because skepticism does not offer the comforting answers to the meaning of life.

Religion f*ck's up everything! Religion is a detriment to society!
Already *disproven* Mass does not warp space as light will pass massive object without deflection. The previous work by Einstein & other (Eddington) is wrong as they just observed refraction. Eddington 1919: Suns Plasma you can see glowing Plasma right next star being observe deflected in the original 1919 plates. Same with Einstein rings as the lensing galaxy is full of gas & Plasma causing refraction. For any lensing galaxy the effect is always limited to one or two electromagnetic bands (Microwave, IR, Visible, etc), never across all EM Bands which indicates refraction. Third No lensing effect observed around Sagittarius A, even though can see stars whipping around it. As far as Mercury procession, Sun is not a solid mass, the poles & equator spin at different rates, causing Mercury's procession as it interacts with the Sun different rotational rates. If Mass\gravity does not bent light, the there is no such thing as space time & curvature of space. As far as Quantum Gravity: gravity originates from the strong nuclear interaction. Its just difficult to link because gravity is very weak force & strong force isn't linear (Reid Potential). Buried in the Reid Potential is gravity. There are only 2 real fundamental forces: Strong Interaction, & electromagnetism (EM). The weak interaction is just EM occurring inside the nucleus of a atom. A neutron is essentially an electron & proton pair enclosed in the radius of a neutron. When a Neutron decays, it splits into an electron & proton. For multiple protons to exist in a nucleus they need to share at least one neutron. The Strong interaction & gravity are the same force, just manifesting into two observable forms.
They seem negatively corrolated. Consumerism is the incompatible with religious asceticism.
Can anyone cite something Frank gets right? Anyone..... anyone.....?
Ta Phil. Religion certainly can be a barrier to people's acceping the facts about climate change. It's not just Christianity. Ive been told by several Muslims that i know, all of them good caring people, that god wont allow us to destroy his creation. I usually respond by pointing out that , for much of what they consider to be his creation , that has simply not been the case. We have already done so. Whether that be Tasmanian wolfs, Dodos, rainforests worldwide or, in human terms, Jewish people in the concentration camps or Palestinians in Gaza today , God , if there is one , has not chosen to intervene. There are, of course, many believers, of all faiths, who are standing up and taking action on behalf of the environment. To them ,i say Thanks. But religion in general does seem to offer too many people a " get out clause " from taking the climate threat seriously. That is indeed worrying , as , lets be honest, they make up most of the worlds population.Without their support and participation in finding and implementing solutions , the efforts of the rest of us are doomed to failure.
thanks for this , very inciteful
According to the graphs, 'atheist' is a religious group that accepts scientific 'fact' more easily. Thank 'God' science is never wrong.
well wehther its science or law , we always have to go with the best evidence we have,.
This is gonna be true for many fundamentalists (Christian and other) and is a good, valid criticism of them (and there should be many others!). But it's not nearly so true for reformed groups; for example, I'd bet those in the Church of England are probably just as on-point with climate change as atheists and agnostics, if not more so. In other words, the issue as always is bad religious dogma, not belief in a god per se, even the Abrahamic one.
I agree with you . But the claim is that religion makes you more likely to oppose climate change, not that it makes it inevitable. So, like smoking, the more intense you smoke, the more likely you are to get cancer. Similarly, the more intense your religious belief I think the more likely you are to oppose climate change science.
@@PhilHalper1 "intense" is vague and it's only *certain* bad beliefs associated with religion that are harmful: a religious person could have the most intense belief that there's a creator, but nothing like climate change denial is ever goinna follow from that alone. But if 'intense' means something like 'dogmatic' then maybe you could argue that the religion's original set of beliefs are less likely to be let go of in a process of reform, so in that sense dogmatic religious belief might be a problem pre se, as opposed to just specific dogmas.
@@infov0y fair point. Maybe I can phrase it this way. Religions with creation stories that contradict science are more likely to reject other science like climate change
@@PhilHalper1Yep, pretty much... I'd probably go with: 'Religious fundamentalists from religions with creation stories that contradict science, are more likely to reject other science like climate change'
@@infov0y@infov0y ok, but keep in mind the actual data we see in this survey. Athiests have double the rate of acceptance as Chrsitians as a whole and almost triple that of evangelicals.
The only thing religion is useful for is to curse this God-awful looking plot 😄
This is basically: Religion is a proxy for having an irrational strategy to select claims you deem predictive. I would suspect the same goes for non-religious beliefs like the belief in homoeopathy.
agreed, its like saying smoking is more likely to give you cancer. Sure there are other things that can give you cancer too and you can get cancer without smoking. Doesnt mean smoking is not a significant risk factor.
Mr. Kerr, this time, made a fine mess of assumptions.
haha...climate change, riiiight (i'm an atheist and climate change isn't science) EDIT: it is purely political. if it's not political why aren't we just building nuclear reactors everywhere instead of wasting ridiculous amounts of money and materials (worse to produce than fossil fuels) on horribly inefficient wind and solar (renewables...hah!...don't make me laugh) which need to be replaced every 20 years (if not sooner in a bad hail/wind storm).

The data proves something else to me. It proves that "Climate Change" is the religion of the atheists and agnostics. As a matter of fact "Climate Change" cannot be empirically perceived by anybody. The alleged data has not persistently been collected over a significant duration of time. It is modelled by computers, not actually measured. This means "Climate Change" requires faith. You can neither see it, nor do we have empirical data to prove it. And since it is based on faith, it is very similar to religion. You need to believe in it to perceive it as a threat. Since atheists and agnostics don't have a traditional religion, they have come up with a replacement of religion, that fulfills all their spiritual needs. "Climate Change" requires asceticism and rejection of consumerism. It postulates that human actions are sinful. It predicts that we live in the end times. It has charismatic prophets predicting that the end is near, e.g. Greta Thunberg or Al Gore who are certainly not qualified as scientists. It is a cult. And you are part of it.
Probably not. Isn’t climate change denial the result of anti-intellectualism? Seems like correlating this doubt to religious belief is an antireligious prejudice. Btw, I absolutely loved every video that you made with physicists, keep up the great work.
Yes, but if certain religions fuel anti-intellectualism, that's a real problem.Thanks for the encouragement,.
anti-intellectualism is synonymous to religion
If Santa (I mean "God" of course) is gonna save us all (or some of us at least), there's nothing to worry about, right? Whatever happens, good or bad, it's always "God's will". Nothing to worry about: pray and do nothing at all. That's the religious mentality, at least the theist one. Said that, a healthy spirituality can still provide many boons, but it'll probably work better with something like Pantheism (which is Atheism by another name and possibly a slightly different attitude).
that may be a motivation as well, seems plausible to me.
The barking mad evangelical Christians in the US are always praying for the victims of the latest recent mass shooting in their country, and give it a day or two and they have a whole new bunch of people to pray for.
The conceptual foundation of the scientific method (of the demonstrative method) originates in the Hellenistic age. It is surprising that this is not yet very well understood, but it would be enough just to note that it is the same 'founders' of Science, in the sixteenth century (Copernicus), as in the seventeenth (Newton himself in the Scholi, etc.), who wrote this (sometimes a little confusingly), that the origins of their theses were found in... the library (...).
Would have been convenient to link the Pew poll in the description . That it is a study on the US alone I think somewhat undermines a generalization about religion , as you point out we already know that US christian views tend to be at odds with science where it conflicts with scripture. In a Demon Haunted World (1995) Carl Sagan bemoans his nations science education, nothing really new said in this 2022 Poll.
You are right Dave, I have now added that in the description. Yes its US alone, but as the US is the leading emitter of CO2 I think its important enough.
@@PhilHalper1 Are you using a per capita measure ?. Looking at some convenient stats China as a country is the largest total emitter , has over half(8.85) the emissions of the US(14.44) per capita(2022), with of course a population about 4 times the US, The UK by comparison has 5.0 per capita (tCO2/cap/year). Other countries per capita exceed the US( e.g. Saudi, Canada and Australia ), the US is certainly A leading emitter. The US has reduced C02 per capita by about a ton since 2017, whilst China has increased it's by a similar amount over the same period. Whatever, there is lots of C02 being pumped out, and how it is measured attributed to a particular state is complex. I think it would be quite hard to correlate C02 emissions to religiosity. Easier to show a correlation with skepticism over scientific findings more generally in the religious. There are many studies that claim to show a negative relationship between reasoning, such as probabilistic reasoning, and religiosity, . Anyhow hope you and yours are well Phil , all the best.
I'm happy I get to live in a time during Polar Bears and Emperor Penguins.
yes , me too.
I'm happier because I'll be gone before this sh1t really kicks off!
Not your best video. I’m a raging atheist Jew who is so grateful that I live in one of the last Christian countries in the world. Faith is linked to strong communities much more than carbon emissions.
Also, did Christianity create climate change? I think we might be giving them too much credit 😀
i always bear in mind that religists say god can kill whoever he feels like cos he created us, life under religion is cheap and disposable, none of them recognise that god as much a dictator as stalin, the only difference being you could escape stalin. bottom line though, god isn't there, no one is riding in on a white horse lopping off the noggins of the infidel.
