Part one is about how science works even when the public thinks it doesn't. Part two will certainly ruffle some feathers by offering a reason- and science-based perspective on issues where political correctness has gone awry. Part three provides some data-driven advice for your health and well-being. Part four looks at human behavior and how we can better navigate our social worlds. In part five we put on our skeptical goggles and critically examine a few commonly-held beliefs. In the final section, we look at a few ways how we all can make the world a better place.

** EDIT: This answer is based on me misunderstanding the argument. See the comments below for more details. ** An attempt to define God into existence. Or more specifically, the whole argument rests on a subjective understanding of "positive," which leads to Circular Reasoning in believers. Jealousy, commanding the killing of gays, genocide... all "positive" because they are said to be properties of God. And since God, by definition, must be all-good (i.e., have positive properties), these properties are seen as positive—at least in God. And because "his ways are not our ways," Special Pleading allows believers to admit these properties are not good in others and maintain some semblance of their humanity. I'll stop there at the first definition because the argument already failed. |
