LIVE DEBATE [Your God is Fiction] 5-5-2026 (with ‪@VolcyThoughts‬ ) (Justin at DZ Debates on YouTube)

TIMESTAMPS

2:05 Volcy’s intro

Skipped a few non-calls

29:35 Matthew - Caller rambles a lot but it settles on a discussion of entropy and energy; Caller crashes out over Volcy talking

54:42 Brian - Bad faith from the start; Can we choose what we believe? Do we have free will? Can God be wrong about he knows?

1:23:25 Jimmy - Caller is likely “Johnny/John” but changed their name; All of the bad faith; Did Jesus exist? Do the laws of logic exist? Caller tries to derail to trans issues; Once Justin IDs caller, hosts spend the rest of the call clowning on them

1:46:08 Brandon - What is current consensus of the Big Bang? Is God possible and is He in time? Are morals objective?

2:26:25 Superchats and wrap up

Two Jacked Christians FLEX on Soyboy Atheism (Wes Huff response) (Paulogia on YouTube)

Two alpha Christians try to flex their way through the toughest atheist arguments — from the Big Bang to moral realism and the resurrection. But do the arguments hit as hard as the bench press? In this breakdown, we separate muscle from logic and see what really holds up under pressure.

The Science of Sagan (Seth Andrews; The Thinking Atheist podcast)

We lost the great cosmologist and science educator Carl Sagan in the month of December...way back in 1996. His words resonate and inspire as much as ever.

The NEW Crisis in Cosmology

I have good news and bad news. Bad news first: two years ago we reported on the Crisis in Cosmology. Since then, it’s only gotten worse. And actually, the good news is also that the crisis in cosmology has actually gotten worse, which means we may be onto something! 

The most exciting thing for any scientist is when something they thought they knew turns out to be wrong. So it’s no wonder that many cosmologists are starting to get excited by what has become known as the Hubble tension, or the crisis in cosmology. The “crisis” is the fact that we have two extremely careful, increasingly precise measurements of how fast the universe is expanding which should agree with each other, and yet they don’t.

Holiday Message 2020 | The Screwy Universe (Sean Carrol's Mindscape podcast: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas, 127)

Welcome to the third annual Mindscape Holiday Message! Just a chance for me to be a little more chatty and informal than usual, although as it turned out this isn’t all that different from a conventional solo episode. With the difference that what I’m talking about — a phenomenon called “cosmic birefringence” — has played a big part in my personal scientific career, so I get to be a bit autobiographical. 

Every photon has a direction of polarization, which generally remains fixed as the photon travels through space. Birefringence is an effect by which the polarization rotates rather than staying fixed. It can happen in materials, but generally not in outer space. But there are exotic physics ideas that could cause such a rotation, including the dynamical dark energy candidate known as quintessence. People have put limits on such cosmic birefringence for a while now, but recently there was a claim that there might be a nonzero amount of birefringence visible in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background! Still very tentative, but if this hint turns into real evidence, it would big extremely big news for our understanding of physics and cosmology, possibly helping us pinpoint the nature of dark energy.

Cosmologists Clash Over the Beginning of the Universe - WIRED

What happened before the Big Bang? And what happened before that? Stephen Hawking's answer—there was no beginning—is now the subject of intense debate.

The Kalam Cosmological Argument - Debunked (The First Cause Argument - Refuted)

Throughout the video I pint-point several flaws and fallacies that those who use the Kalam Cosmological Augment tend to commit, but for a very brief summery (extremely brief), they are as follows:...
