Responding to the Top 3 Atheist "Mistakes" According to Cameron and Joe Schmid @JamesFodor

Uploaded May 2021 | Updated September 2026, 5 hours ago

Here I provide a critical response to a recent video by Capturing Christianity and Joel Schmidt discussing what they consider to be the top 3 biggest mistakes made by atheists (particularly atheists on YouTube). This includes a discussion of lacktheism, the notion of extraordinary evidence, the value of philosophy vs science, and whether there is any evidence for the existence of God.

00:00 Introduction
04:00 No evidence for theism
27:59 Attacking weak arguments
44:18 Scientism and anti-philosophy
1:10:05 Local vs global skepticism

1:36:00 Lacktheism
2:20:58 Don't care about philosophy
2:36:19 Defending reductive naturalism
2:46:54 Concluding remarks

Responding to the Top 3 Atheist Mistakes According to Cameron and Joe Schmid

$Dr Steel Singularity Music Video I made this music video to accompany Doctor Steels excellent song The Singularity. Note that most of the clips in the video are demonstrations of real technologies, which can be found on youtube. There are also some animations of technologies that are currently in development (e.g. fusion and genetic engineering). I think the only part of the video that is pure science fiction at the moment the the part with nanomachines interacting with a cell. The rest is here, now. The singularity is near. Lyrics to the song: Zeroes and ones The curves begun Nanotechnology transcending biology This is how the race is won By my hands the sons of man Understand, execute the plan Reverse engineering the human mind Only a matter of time That this fractal design Emerges electronic life with Prophetic symbology and Modern technology Bring on the Singularity Transcend Transcend biology Bring on the Singularity Transcend Transcend biology Immerse me in Virtual reality and The order of the galaxy The possibilities expand Demand more than the Factory software I dont care I want to be smarter And stronger and live longer Speed up the accelerating returns Cause carbon doesnt work I want to evolve and operate at terahertz So bring on the knee of the curve And lets transcend biology Our archaic humanity Bring on the Singularity Bring on the Singularity Bring on the Singularity Transcend Transcend biology Bring on the Singularity Transcend Transcend biology Bring on the Singularity Transcend Transcend biology Bring on the Singularity Transcend Transcend biology And will I evolve to rise or fall Becoming non-biological And will I evolve to rise or fall Becoming non-biological If you are interested in science check out my podcast: The Science of Everything podcast. http://fods12.podbean.com/$
