[13:13] No...why would you think that? [13:14] ..it hhas to happen one of these days [13:14] Every show is to be the epic return of jeff dee only for it not to be. [13:15] he said he was only leaving for a year. It has been 2 :( [13:15] You must have missed a show [13:15] He came back on...explained that his 1 year job turned into a permanent job. He wouldn't have time for NP, but did come back to the TV show as a co-host. [13:16] the tv show has gotten to wide of an audiance and is less cool as npr [13:16] grammer fail there. [13:17] So, what you're saying is that the show that Jeff appears on is less cool. I'll let him know. :) [13:17] yup! [13:19] Non-Prophets: are any of the streams up yet? [13:19] I'm getting 'Service Unavailable' on both of them and want to know if it's my setup that's broken or just that you aren't running the shoutcast server yet. [13:20] Is there gonna be a 4 hour show today to make up the recent infreqency? [13:20] * ville has joined #nonprophets [13:20] Don't want much, do you. =) [13:20] 4 hour!? Could they even survive that without falling asleep or running out of topics? [13:21] There won't be a 4 hour show. [13:21] Well at least you know the crew is loved, huh? =) [13:21] Could try going over free will again. That would be l..o...n..g.. He He. [13:21] I'm working this weekend...like last weekend and about 8 of the last 14 [13:22] This is like a long lunch break for me [13:22] The economy is going down the toilet and you are busier than ever. You got a pact with satan or something? [13:23] No, that would mean he has a job in which he has unlimited free time. [13:24] People get laid off...that means more work for those who still have a job [13:24] Of course I'm busier [13:24] Stream is up... [13:24] Makes sense. [13:25] * mathmexican has joined #nonprophets [13:25] Winston around? [13:28] Nope. Shall I look out for him though? [13:30] is it going to be music for 30 mins? [13:30] and who is winston? [13:31] Hm. Apparently I've been promoted to permanent op on a podcasters ustream page.. [13:31] * apparition has joined #nonprophets [13:31] So now I need to keep an eye out there, and there's a show going on here as well as there. [13:32] Congratulations? [13:32] Bother. [13:32] Not really. I'll have to be multitasking now. :P [13:32] That doesn't go in line with me being lazy. ;) [13:32] Ah. [13:32] Luckily my client can detach a window and I can run that on a seperate monitor. [13:33] Luckily indeed. Be a pain to have it all on one. [13:34] Oh yeah, especially since I'm on 35 channels on 11 networks.. [13:35] Wow. 0.o; [13:35] dam your one of those 13 year old girls in 1980 (on all the chat rooms they were) [13:37] 35 channels. [13:37] How does your brain not fracture into a million shards? [13:37] Becasue I've been on irc for 11 years and am used to multitasking if I have to. [13:37] * rudeboy has joined #nonprophets [13:37] oy. [13:37] oi [13:37] That too. [13:38] oi-l come to hate it [13:38] is the mucic cutting out for anyone else?

[13:39] I'm using itunes and it's fine for me. [13:39] * SpookyElectric has joined #nonprophets [13:39] you know if matt wanted to be super cool he could make a mobile studio like the ones we use @ rogers tv [13:39] rudeboy: as an audiophile, I can tell you that it's not HD.. :P [13:40] heh heh heh heh heh [13:40] I've filed a few audios meself .. [13:40] Non-prophets broadcasting from the back of a pirate van touring around Austin in the dead of night. [13:40] Sounds less comfy than a couch. [13:40] Austin is dead at night? huh. [13:40] * Devin has joined #nonprophets [13:41] I hear that Austin is the only place in Texas that rocks out at night [13:42] austin is the only place in texus i might want to visit [13:42] Any city that can claim someone like Molly Ivins ought to be worth a visit. [13:42] It was quite a nice city to visit. [13:43] ... was ..? [13:43] Okay, *is*. I was using past tense in terms of personal experience. [13:43] ah [13:43] So, I have a new pet. [13:44] is it a cat? [13:44] An alligator lizard has taken up residence in my garage. [13:44] Has it bitten you yet? [13:44] oh...a cat would ahve been so super cool [13:44] I love these guys cause they eat black widows [13:45] They do!? I need to find one so I can get rid of the one thats spawning in my backyard. [13:45] so I am trying to encourage his continued residence by leaving him alone as muchas one can [13:45] they do [13:45] Let me link a pic of him [13:45] http://snakemasterproductions.com/alligator_lizard81909.jpg [13:45] Brilliant choice of music on the stream. =) [13:46] He likes hiding under the rake right by the step down from the house [13:47] * Owner has joined #nonprophets [13:47] .... every sperm is sacred .... [13:47] therefore, should we worship used condoms? [13:47] everyone all together ,,, ew! [13:48] Thank poo I'm not a sperm then. [13:48] I don't even want to be sacred. [13:48] Wouldn't they be blasphemous? [13:48] do sperm posses original sin? [13:48] hey matt [13:48] * ntesla has joined #nonprophets [13:48] Sperm only has half the DNA for original sin. [13:48] * Owner is now known as Anima [13:48] can sin be divided? [13:49] So when sperm and egg combine it's like the wonder twins with sin? [13:49] johnny cash ... [13:49] did you know that because you dont have a degree in philosophy your not a true skeptic [13:49] Wonder sin power, activate? [13:49] eh? [13:49] thsi video explanses it all [13:49] oh brother ... [13:50] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2gqx7Ui72E&feature=channel_page [13:50] I'm skeptical. [13:50] Apparently you're not. [13:50] LIES! [13:50] skepticism requires a degree? says who (or whom)? [13:50] standinstann in his latest failure of a video [13:50] another propaganda load from the usual sources? [13:51] * Leafy has joined #nonprophets [13:51] Bjork! [13:51] I wonder if Matt will be in the chat today. [13:52] I wanted to talk to him about "logical absolutes" and TAG [13:52] * Pombolo has joined #nonprophets [13:52] fucking TAG [13:52] * sam has joined #nonprophets [13:52] lol [13:52] TAGs copulate? [13:52] huh ... [13:52] * ChristOnIce has joined #nonprophets [13:52] dude [13:52] * xghosthunter has joined #nonprophets [13:53] I was one of the few (?) that liked the TAG discussion, but... not again. [13:53] unfortunately I'm not going to defend TAG, because it's a terrible argument, and I'm an atheist. [13:53] but Matt D seems to have an antiquated view of logic [13:54] * Zetsu|MkII has joined #nonprophets [13:54] I like how Matt Slick beat his own argument by saying things are only physical or conseptual, hence trancendental gods dont exist [13:54] Slick is just a petulant child - that's why the argument stalled [13:54] lol [13:54] brb, switching clients [13:54] * Leafy has quit IRC (Leafy) [13:54] * leafy has joined #nonprophets [13:54] back [13:54] I do hope, though, that Matt will be in the chat room so I can talk to him :p [13:55] Leafy: Matt D (Dillahunty?) has an antiquated view of logic? Now THAT discussion I'd probably like to hear. [13:55] Doubtful. [13:55] okay [13:55] Matt has to be constructed form component parts minutes before the show starts [13:55] *from [13:55] lol [13:55] So he can't chat [13:55] * DrakeDarkHunter has joined #nonprophets [13:56] yay music [13:56] The bolts in his neck are then energised from the mains and he is ready to go. [13:56] Matt these guys are poking fun at you come on here and defend thyself. [13:56] * Micah has joined #nonprophets [13:56] talking in chat might be considered antiquated [13:56] Micah from Heroes has hacked in! [13:56] I'm busy setting up for a show. They can pick on my all they want. [13:57] missing a word [13:57] I'm not the Micah from heroes. :P [13:57] :p [13:57] * Pombolo picks and pokes [13:57] pick on my ... what ? [13:57] heh heh [13:57] Matt D: your view of logic is antiquated! [13:57] Micah, of COURSE you would say that [13:57] :p [13:57] Ok, e-mail me then...cause we're not doing that conversation here, especially when I've got show to do. [13:57] * notasheep has joined #nonprophets [13:57] * Micah rolls his eyes. [13:57] okay, but be sure to read it [13:57] I like discussions about logic, reason, the scientific method, fallacies, evidenciary standards... etc [13:58] * ihedenius has joined #nonprophets [13:58] * ShadowOfDoubt has joined #nonprophets [13:58] Yes, those discussions (logic et al) helped me leave behind notions of a soul / afterlife etc. [13:58] Because I like, learning more about those subjects. [13:58] chat is loading up nicely [13:58] sadly my discussion will only be about (a) logic, (b) classical logic, (c) recent developments in logic, and (d) philosophy of logic [13:58] * Thomas_Bolanos has joined #nonprophets [13:59] I.e. it'll be about logic. One of the subjects I like. [13:59] * Knasp has joined #nonprophets [13:59] and the logical "absolutes" - which really boil down to LNC [13:59] * MalReynolds has joined #nonprophets [13:59] What are 'recent developments in logic' anyway? As far as I know, modus ponens is just as valid now as it was a thousand years ago. [13:59] wow it's been awhile since I've heard the show live. [13:59] raa isn't valid in paraconsistent logics [13:59] neither is disjunctive syllogism [13:59] * IceGuest_7 has joined #nonprophets [13:59] p V q, -p, therefore q [14:00] "paraconsistent logics"? [14:00] paraconsistent logics are logics developed to deal with contradictions [14:00] * IceGuest_7 is now known as Moloch_Jr [14:00] *googles* [14:00] Now THIS is music! :D [14:00] google Graham Priest and "In Contradiction" [14:00] Seriously, I love this song. [14:00] ...why? [14:00] I don't know. :P [14:00] NOOO. [14:00] Oh, show starts later? Thought it was 2:30 [14:00] Supertramp is so passee :P [14:00] Whose music choice is this? [14:00] You killed it! [14:00] Hi guys! [14:01] Curse you, Matt! Curse you! *shake fist* [14:01] W00t shows startin [14:01] very sad face [14:01] About fucking time they had a show. [14:01] yeah [14:01] Wow, he was a bit hot. [14:01] I didn't kill it... giving leafy's comments, that's going to be the intro music [14:01] two minute warning [14:01] ==== [14:01] Woo. [14:01] *given [14:01] Yay leafy. [14:01] lol [14:01] Fantastic. [14:01] should I listen liev? [14:01] live? [14:02] and I hear nothing [14:02] usually I listen to the show after it's done [14:02] seriously though...e-mail me - cause I'm not doing this here. However, anyone who implies that logic is antiquated is a buffoon. [14:02] live works best [14:02] even though there is a 90 second delay [14:02] i'm not implying that logic is antiquated [14:02] heh heh [14:02] just that your view of the "logical absolutes" is [14:02] your a buffoon [14:02] lol [14:02] Then my view of it couldn't be. I win. [14:02] Now...on with the show [14:02] lol [14:02] That was quick [14:02] lol [14:02] Ha. [14:02] Do you guys hear anything? [14:02] damn, that samurai sword is sharp [14:03] Declaring that you win is a pretty good way of winning an argument.. [14:03] it's how matt slick rolls [14:03] * tristan has joined #nonprophets [14:03] Well, it worked. :) [14:03] works for most people I know [14:04] Am I the only one getting no sound? [14:04] any second now [14:04] No, I get nothing [14:04] Toko: nope [14:04] I got no sound [14:04] stream is still live [14:04] I like QED mf mostly to win :D [14:04] I got no sound but I"m connected, so I think things are good. [14:04] Yup, the stream is still live.. So yeah. [14:04] I'm not getting sound at the moment. Was getting some earlier. Probably something on their end [14:04] CodeWeaver: I'd guess the same. [14:04] just hang loose, they'll be up in a few seconds [14:04] ah [14:04] What the hell!? [14:04] 1I've got nothing either so it's universal [14:04] * Micah has quit IRC (Micah) [14:05] brb [14:05] * Tscott has joined #nonprophets [14:05] Any time now. [14:05] unless of course white noise counts as sound... then I am in a sense [14:05] * Blahface has joined #nonprophets [14:06] Hm. I'd get myself a beer but I have to go to work in two hours [14:06] * Nebleim has joined #nonprophets [14:06] damn the luck! [14:06] sound! [14:06] music! [14:06] There you go!

[14:08] I knew these guys would get arrested one day. [14:08] * thalamay has joined #nonprophets [14:08] Ben Stein reported them. [14:08] w00t i love the poliece [14:08] That's us! [14:08] We must start a bail bond for them. [14:08] YAY US! [14:09] I'll donate th first dollar and cent. [14:09] a woman :p [14:09] Our theocratic future? [14:09] They'll be taken to the brainwashing clinic, pity [14:09] I love the Shilling comment :) [14:09] More of an aspiration [14:09] * thalamay opens the door and steps inside [14:09] but dog and duck was way more baddass then the flying sauser [14:10] Shilling always seemed the most sinister of them all [14:10] * sam laughs out loud [14:10] He must be the mastermind [14:10] * sam has quit IRC (sam) [14:10] WOÓ! [14:10] * sam has joined #nonprophets [14:10] My....eardrums..... [14:10] Compressers rock! [14:10] I got lots of lag, but the stream goes forward.

MathSci? [14:15] * debdrup dances a bit [14:15] what was the question? [14:15] Yes, yes they are. [14:15] Yes [14:15] lol [14:15] End of discussion. [14:15] yes [14:15] Next topic [14:15] Indeed [14:15] joachim: Are religious people insane. [14:15] Yes. next question [14:15] Religion-The accepted insanity. [14:15] Mass Dilusion [14:16] I'm delusional in that I'm a solipsist. [14:16] I'm delusional in that I am not. [14:16] I like to think that I can persuade people using reason. Clearly, this is a delusion of mine. [14:17] I'm a pragmatic one, though. [14:17] poor denis [14:17] The DSM-IV definition of delusion specifically excludes religious beliefs. [14:17] At least Denis will always have the free will win. [14:17] I am napolean becuz......uh......... [14:17] The difference is how and why, you believe an insane belief. [14:18] I eat french toast! [14:18] FREAK! [14:18] No, I am french toast! [14:18] NJ! [14:18] didn't see you drop in [14:18] Are kids insane for believing in Santa Claus? [14:18] yes [14:18] please get on to the next topic... [14:18] You KNOW that Napoleon died... that's why it is more insane to believe in him [14:18] Insane does not equate criminally insane [14:19] People merely believe that God exists [14:19] it is how you act on it [14:19] * DrakeDarkHunter has quit IRC (DrakeDarkHunter) [14:19] Insanity, at least by connotation, would have more to do with errors in the process whereas religion tends to involve errors in the input [14:20] Oh, hey Shilling. [14:20] Are people insane for believing in aquatic apes [14:20] Delusion scale? [14:20] ChristOnIce: Exactly [14:20] its thad.. [14:20] Dooh. [14:20] * debdrup fails. :( [14:20] where is talking to invisible people on the delusional scale? [14:21] 7 out of 10. [14:21] I am zombie napolean! [14:22] check his birth certificate. [14:22] Wow.

Visit http://www.nonprophetsradio.com for connection information!' [14:50] * Set by Non-Prophets on Sat Aug 01 14:27:55 [14:50] * ChanServ sets mode: +qo Non-Prophets Non-Prophets [14:50] We need a sort of balance. [14:50] about time you guys showed up, the show's been on for nearly an hour ... [14:50] They were here earlier. [14:50] Universial healthcare is good. [14:50] It prevented me from dying. [14:50] Yes. [14:51] what are the only things that goverment has to take care of = socialism [14:51] free enterprise = capitalism [14:51] your police and fire departments are "socialistic" in nature [14:51] Si [14:51] they werent originally [14:51] * micah has quit IRC (Leaving) [14:51] So they are communists? [14:52] had to pay fire insurance [14:52] Yeah, all of them. :P [14:52] Matt said someone would say it. I said it. [14:52] sure, communist dictatorships doesn't work [14:52] * Nebleim has quit IRC (Nebleim) [14:52] communism in goverment = not good [14:53] Nizz-ope. [14:53] YAY NEWS! [14:53] Finally damn it. [14:53] I heard about this. Fox tried to demonize the courts. [14:53] lol fox. [14:53] Fixxd news [14:53] Faux news [14:54] fox noise [14:54] Fox is nothing more than Pravda for the ultra right [14:54] pravda is fair and balanced [14:54] No, it's just like 21 Jump Street [14:54] it's not just prayer, the teachers were openly proselytizing students [14:55] It's not even that, shadow. It's the fact they were doing so in direct violation of a previous court settlement [14:55] * MalReynolds has quit IRC (MalReynolds) [14:55] Court settlemnt!? [14:55] God doesn't listen to courts. [14:55] Yes. The district had previously gone to court [14:56] Here is the consent decree for the people of the school. http://tinyurl.com/consentdecree/ [14:56] yeah I know, there are many problems [14:57] NP== absolutely wrong [14:57] I think it depends on the girl [14:57] The school has the right to determine the appropriateness of a graduation speech [14:58] If they knew she was just going to proselytize [14:58] If she was proselytizing in her speech maybe.... [14:58] There seems no reason to forbid her as a speaker. Forbidding a particular speech is the appropriate action [14:59] true [14:59] last show in AE [14:59] was talked about [14:59] i hate ae [14:59] We know [14:59] :) [15:00] I don't think there's any realistic way to get nonbiased teachers [15:00] Robots [15:00] They are non biased. [15:00] but who designs the robots [15:00] ... [15:01] I-AM-BIBLE-BOT-3000 [15:01] lol [15:01] Curse you and your logic..... [15:01] ! [15:01] with no defined course = bad [15:02] Its alegorical [15:03] high school=/=college [15:03] Agreed. [15:03] There is a college course about the bible and its not as easy to digest with so much historical stuff to check [15:04] why just do the bible [15:04] why not the book of morman [15:04] have to go to work. bye all [15:04] or the quran? [15:04] How about HOW the Bible was created [15:04] bye [15:04] * rudeboy has left #nonprophets [15:04] The book of Mormon is irrelevant entirely [15:04] Use Code Sinusitus [15:04] Well, the bible has affected us more, historically and culturally. [15:04] ftw [15:04] * apparition has quit IRC (apparition) [15:04] Yes [15:05] The Bible could be fair game (though by no means a good thing for high school) [15:05] HEATHEN-BOT 2.0 beats BIBLE-BOT-3000. HEATHEN-BOT's regular firmware updates trumps BIBLE-BOTS unchange programming. [15:05] that will be interesting. KJV or Jeffersons lol [15:05] *Insert slowpoke.jpg* [15:05] LOLCats bible FTW! [15:06] SKEPTICS ANOTATED BIBLE [15:06] LEIK GUIS IS IS TEH MESSAIH LOL!!!

[15:07] :) [15:07] Gideons [15:08] Gideons use KJV [15:08] * petermod has joined #nonprophets [15:08] the class would be better if there was one bible that they all used and why not pick the first one....kingjames [15:08] I will fund the lolcat bible [15:08] * Rasputin has joined #nonprophets [15:08] with the money I don't have. [15:09] LOLCats bible isn't complete yet. (I think it's about 60% done) [15:09] I take it from the number of folks here that there's actually a show that I have now missed most of [15:09] yes thar is [15:09] Yup. [15:09] sigh... [15:09] it actually exists?? [15:09] * Non-Prophets sets mode: +o ChristOnIce [15:10] OHI. [15:10] http://www.lolcatbible.com/index.php?title=Main_Page [15:10] ...you can read the rest for yourself. http://www.lolcatbible.com/index.php?title=Genesis_1 [15:10] Oh hi [15:10] ack too slow [15:10] o hai [15:10] Awezum! [15:10] lolol [15:10] Where is limecat? [15:10] * sam has quit IRC (sam) [15:10] LOLcats and humor are mutually exclusive [15:10] Why does Shilling get ops-lovings? :p [15:10] Yes yes, we know Shilling. [15:10] LORD LIMECAT IS DISPLEASED! [15:10] hahahaha [15:11] i wish i was op [15:11] i would be so happy [15:11] Of course, "religious neutrality" often means "agrees with the least common denominator of all the Christians around town". [15:11] * Rasputin has quit IRC (Rasputin) [15:11] You are happy. [15:11] it's your name. [15:12] yes...thats the joke [15:12] * gmp has joined #nonprophets [15:12] "non-religious faith" ?????? [15:12] lol [15:12] non-religious fatih = Oxymoron [15:12] New-age nonsense, in other words. [15:12] No, it's not an oxymoron [15:13] Why only 'Biblical' studies? [15:13] It is moronic though [15:13] Theism is not a religion, but it can be faith-based [15:13] I"m sure people could be said to have faith in the existence of the Loch Ness Monster. [15:13] That's not religious in any traditional sense of the word. [15:13] Depends on the definition of religion, but I wasn't being entirely precise. [15:14] You might see more people getting into other activities and just skipped the Bible class [15:14] Not entirely oxymonoronic. [15:14] My point is, atheism can be excluded from "non-religious faith", therefore, we don't have to worry about denying their beliefs. The teacher can say "ATHEISTS ARE WRONG", because atheism isn't a "non-religious faith", because they have no faith. [15:14] Good point. [15:14] islam or zoroastrism would be taken too [15:14] ...although that is only if they realize that [15:14] No, the provision includes recognition of previous court precedents. So, NJ, that situation would still be wrong [15:15] * PghMark has joined #nonprophets [15:15] Could be. [15:15] Should be called "Religious Studies"? [15:15] ]p [15:16] teachers might get to READ all the bible now :P [15:16] * PghMark has quit IRC (Client exited) [15:16] The whole damn thang! [15:16] they should do the abc's of the bible [15:16] Is reactionary hand-waving kinda like jedi mind-tricks? [15:16] From that asshole moses to the paranoid Mushroom taking John of Pathmos. [15:17] They should teach the jedi religion in schools. [15:17] May the F=MA be with you. [15:17] Wait, I thought the spirit was supposed to violate the Christians [15:17] Texas is doomed for other reasons. [15:17] TEXAS IS DOOOOOOOMED! [15:17] :-) [15:18] ohh sex [15:18] We're all doomed. [15:18] We're all going to die. [15:18] ....eventually. [15:18] 2012 [15:18] Where's Phil Plait when we need a good DOOOOM [15:18] Toko: die... [15:18] * NeutronJack drinks! [15:18] I got in perfectly. [15:18] Drinking game rules: [15:18] 1) "Asshat" [15:18] 2) "Bad foreign accent" [15:19] Actually, I'd prefer to live forever though. [15:19] Holy shit. [15:19] 3)batshitcazy [15:19] Seriously, I would. [15:19] 2009 and still thinking its the 1st century. [15:19] ... [15:19] wow [15:19] This is fucked up. [15:19] Oh, really. [15:19] I like that term. [15:20] Non-consensual masturbation sounds hot. [15:20] Seconded [15:20] He should chop off his man's ding-a-ling and sow it on her. [15:20] so she cant rape him right? [15:20] Talk about being one. [15:20] sew* [15:21] Won't her body reject it though? [15:21] Then she'd have a gangernous ding a ling rotting on her. [15:22] Or they should be sewn together. [15:22] * ad7 has joined #nonprophets [15:22] I like that idea. [15:22] Next! [15:23] Isn't that a slippery slope idea? [15:23] * User has joined #nonprophets [15:23] Ha! [15:23] thats what i said.. [15:23] How strangley erotic [15:23] ow lol [15:23] OH SNAP! [15:23] 0wn3d [15:23] woah [15:23] lol [15:23] Pwn't [15:23] Oh no he didn't. [15:23] haha [15:24] they were taken off? [15:24] on. off. on. off. [15:24] I think they were [15:25] I wonder how long it will take before baaaawing occurs. [15:25] Ceiling Cat at werk [15:25] O praiz hiz puwwwy gudnes [15:25] Ceiling cat is heresy [15:26] please, why they hell are they complaining about our messages? we don't ask to religious advertisements taken off buses... [15:26] If there is a ceiling cat, what is the devil? A black cat? [15:26] Basement cat. [15:26] Basement cat [15:26] basement Cat [15:26] lol [15:26] * User has quit IRC (User) [15:26] dish network has like 6 channels devoted to religon [15:26] * darkwin has joined #nonprophets [15:26] lol [15:27] The FSM people should put ads up [15:27] * qarnos has joined #nonprophets [15:27] basement cat [15:27] YAY RAY! [15:27] "Our religion is being persecuted." Yet there are five or more fucking churches from walking distance of my house [15:27] na satinizum would be soo mutch better [15:27] FSM hate Jesus [15:27] FSM loves everyone [15:27] CHIP IN FOR RAYS PAY! [15:27] I look out my windows, and I see two. [15:28] Leviticus: "1 Teh Ceiling Cat saiz to Mozes, "O hai! Outta ur tabby-nackels, d00dthx.2 U should go saiz this to Izrulites, for to IM me, Hey Ceiling Cat, I can has stuff :) and liek that, they gotta bring me teh cheezeburgers or other good stuff for impruvin teh conneckshun winkwink." [15:28] I won't chunk up quotations, don't worry [15:28] lol [15:28] im a pilot for aircanada i can get your [15:28] YES HE DOES LOVE DOING IT! [15:29] you guys a free flight there if you would like [15:29] how much does Ray want to be payed? [15:29] Happy: PM Matt about it - that'll give him a better chance of noticing it. [15:29] 3.50? [15:29] * Leon has joined #nonprophets [15:29] Is the show over? [15:29] he wants the money to debate Dawkins right? [15:29] no [15:30] almost? [15:30] 05? [15:30] I think [15:30] I want to see if Matt will stay on to talk with me. If not I can send him an email, I've already started writing it. [15:30] could have been?? hyprocritical some? lol [15:30] I am sure that Dawkins will obliterate him in the debate. [15:30] I lost connection after "Ray said God didn't send them..." what was said? [15:30] lol [15:30] Dawkins isn't very good at debate [15:30] * Teacher has joined #nonprophets [15:30] Ray uses apologise......it's not very effective [15:30] Sam Harris better [15:30] Harris is, Craig is [15:31] * darkwin373 has joined #nonprophets [15:31] Dawkins uses logic, IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE! [15:31] 1 When is the dawkins debate? [15:31] I think Dawkins can handle himself very well in a debate. [15:31] Dawkins uses science [15:31] Yes. [15:31] the only problem is that Ray Comfort doesn't understand logic or science. [15:31] I love science, because it works! [15:31] Dawkins isn't very good at philosophical arguments - he isn't a philosopher [15:31] Sam Harris has PhD in philosophy [15:31] Dawkins is a scientist [15:32] a damn good scientist [15:32] but a scientist. [15:32] Hell yeah! [15:32] Can you name 1 debate where Dawkins hasn't covered himself? [15:32] Dawkins hasn't been in any debates with someone who is a philosopher or someone who presents a philosophical argument [15:32] Besides, he hasn't been in very many formal debates [15:32] only lectures to colleges and stuff [15:32] Yup. [15:33] Harris' PhD doesn't stop him making logical fallacies [15:33] Of what advantage would it be for Dawkins to have a debate with *specifically* a philospher? [15:33] He's not the most fantastic in debates. Which is why we have Hitchens. [15:33] what fallacies does Harris commit? [15:33] By that I mean advantage to anyone, not Dawkins specifically. [15:33] Well Craig can just tear him down. [15:33] on his philosophical points [15:33] Unfortunately, if Dawkins went up against William Lane Craig, he'd get completely owned. [15:33] Look up his comments on eastern mysticism... I think tis was mentioned on NPR a while ago [15:34] I understand what you're saying, but I don't think Ray could over run him. Harris is sometimes shallow with his arguments. He just sums complicated things up into simple things and then ends up having to squirm his way out of it. [15:34] *this [15:34] I know Harris is into mysticism [15:34] but he's not supernatural [15:34] a supernaturalist* [15:34] No matter the probabilistic arguments for atheism that Dawkins lays out, he won't be able to (unless he's coached) refute the arguments Craig puts forward [15:34] maybe the moral argument [15:34] "Jesus, Interupted" kicks ass [15:34] actually [15:34] Dawkins could probably refute Craig's moral argument [15:35] Dawkins couldn't refute the KCA, though [15:35] Kalam's Cosmological? [15:35] the kalam Cosmological Argument [15:35] How do you know that? You are just asserting. [15:35] I'm not saying "absolutely, Dawins could not refute it" [15:35] hasn't that already been refuted 1000 times, as well as all of it's derivatives? [15:35] I'm saying in all likelyhood, he probably hasn't heard of them [15:36] I wasn't talking about his views on mysticism, but the way he encourages others to view it as a source of information [15:36] * darkwin has quit IRC (Ping timeout) [15:36] In The God Delusion, he only addresses the most superficial cosmological arguments [15:36] I think he has heard of them [15:36] hehe [15:36] * darkwin373 has quit IRC (Leaving) [15:36] NOT ANOTHER ONE! [15:36] I am sure Dawkins has addressed the 1st cause which is Just KCA [15:36] No [15:36] KCA isn't first cause [15:36] * bonku has quit IRC (bonku) [15:36] Are there any non-superficial arguments for deities? [15:36] * Happy has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) [15:36] Cosmological or otherwise? [15:36] not really, no [15:36] Kent Hovind is completely heterosexual! [15:36] the same logic still applies to all ontological args [15:36] He is? [15:36] omg Kent Hovind?? total fail [15:36] So we're told. [15:36] Kent Hovind!? [15:37] So I haz this ice shielz. [15:37] No one knows what they're talking about when they talk about ontological arguments [15:37] it's still a blatant false dichotomy [15:37] This'll be amusing [15:37] Or at least they don't know very well [15:37] CAN I HAVE IT!? [15:37] What the hell!? [15:37] Where can we get the paper mache dinosaurs? [15:37] they're perfectly valid, they just don't demonstrate what they seem to [15:37] Renditions of KCA that I have heard all rely upon a flip or special pleading at some point [15:37] what? [15:38] 1. Everything that begins to exist has a cause. 2. The Universe began to exist. 3. Therefore, the Universe had a cause. [15:38] "A daring young"!? A dumbass hypocritical fraudulent person who posed as a teacher. [15:38] it's valid [15:38] it's not sound [15:38] (1) has special pleading in a couple instances [15:38] but what is a "flip" [15:38] * Cephus has joined #nonprophets [15:38] Pombolo: what is a flip? "all rely upon a flip" [15:39] My own informal way of summing up double standards / special pleading / numerous other fallacies [15:39] ... [15:39] that I have heard used in KCA [15:39] 3. who says that cause has to be an invisible magic man that lives in the sky? [15:39] It's y own term [15:39] *my [15:39] Show still going? [15:39] see Craig's 2 other conclusions [15:39] Even assuming that the universe 'began to exist'. [15:39] 4. if the Universe is caused, then it has to be nonmaterial, nonspatial, nontemporal, etc [15:39] no, you can even concede (2), beacuse his defense of (1) is terrible [15:39] * Leon has quit IRC (Leon) [15:40] I want a Dino Saddle!!! :D [15:40] (5) therefore, there is a causal agent who is nonmaterial, nonspatial, nontemporal, etc... [15:40] valid. [15:40] unsound, but valid. [15:40] I don't buy #4. [15:40] Why not? [15:40] I don't see that as valid. There's no justification for making that conditional. [15:40] It has to be immaterial because it's "outside" the Universe [15:40] or at least causally prior to it [15:40] same for spatial, temporal, etc [15:41] all things that are only properties of objects in the Universe [15:41] "causally prior" doesn't necessarily matter if there was no 'before'. There's no reason to assume there was a 'before' at this juncture. [15:41] My conclusion is that you are all morons. [15:41] causally prior is not the same as temporally prior. [15:41] Therefore I shall test why you iz. [15:41] If you have no time, you have no cause and effect. That requires time. [15:41] This just 1st cause with word games added. [15:41] you have to support that, codeweaver [15:41] you only have intuitions [15:42] Craig puts forward a notion of "atemporal causation" [15:42] Then you have a different definition of the word 'causes'. [15:42] no, actually [15:42] okay, so this is a definitional problem. [15:42] How.....sceintific. [15:42] actually it would be a semantical problem, because semantics is meaning [15:42] semantics before argument [15:43] Crag is apparently defining a new term. [15:43] I stoned mah children to death. [15:43] The hoice is not material or immaterial - our universe could be a subset of a greater materiality. That is why (4) is an assumption [15:43] And then you are using 'atemporal causation' implicitly when you want to, when discussing 'cause and effect'. [15:43] *choice [15:43] * Cephus has quit IRC (Cephus) [15:43] same for other qualities mentioned [15:43] Overtime? [15:44] yup [15:44] I think Craig has the burden of proof first to show that there is anything in reality called "atemporal causation". [15:44] brb [15:44] thanks [15:44] yes, a retreat to the possible. [15:44] This bus makes baby jesus cry, [15:44] it still seems as if he is trying to define God into exsitence [15:44] "it's possible that the Universe was caused using this esoteric ad-hoc causation I made up here that we haven't observed" [15:44] no. [15:45] * thalamay has quit IRC (thalamay) [15:45] ad7: not the same. [15:45] Wow--I never thought of the theist interpretation? [15:45] ad7: you can include existence in the definition of a word, and it doesn't change it. [15:45] Neither have I. [15:45] What is it? [15:45] 2 weeks!?

You are not alone (because God really exists). [15:46] and who is to say that the cause has to be God? [15:46] because any cause would be God [15:46] Ah [15:46] * Kazim has left #nonprophets [15:46] God is a label [15:46] Good show, NP! [15:46] lol lol [15:46] Its not a very useful label. People seem to slap it on any damn thing. [15:46] it is trite. [15:46] Good show indeed. [15:46] * NeutronJack has quit IRC [15:46] I've found oranges with God stamped on them.
