I wish this man would try podcast, he has been asking these questions for years and is really knowledgeable and good at asking the right questions.

[deepaktripathi]

I love you Robert. Thanks for providing this series.

[PetreCA]

I would suggest a discussion with Bishop Robert Baron. He is a priest scholar of metaphysic that could give very good answers for Mr. Kuhn’s questions

paradoxes and contradictions .. the stuff of life .. we live in an amazing universe .. we are fortunate ..

[joedavis]

Robert, God exists for sure! God is metaphysics. God is Not especially the Bible's big strong man in the sky, as you have been taught. God is more like the mystery, the energy, and the Creator. It is stupid to think that we can fully comprehend or understand God.

[givememytacobell]

I feel like people confuse the Christian GOD with a concept much more deserving. The metaphysical answer to god cannot be based on Christian ideals because Christianity is deluded ideals. Metaphysics must stay in principle of what we actually know to exist. God metaphysically is time, space, gravity, biology. Things to this day that still contain mysteries. All which are everywhere and no where at once, both infinite and with endless and insurmountable power.

Theocratic non sense uses a limited sense of thinking. Metaphysics is limitless. Their for God metaphysically are limitless components of existence. Its no mystery what GOD is. What is mystery is figuring out the God within each of these components.

In quantum physics photons (light) can be a particle & a wave at the same time, essentially popping in & out of 3D space, & light is the cosmic speed limit. Well as you rise up the dimensional hierarchy time is considered the 4th dimension. If God exists out of time, He could have similar properties i.e the ability to pop in & out of time

“finally an argument that works.”

Assumes that the earlier arguments (and their offshoots) have actually been refuted. They haven’t been.

The greatest get-out cause: " it should not be taken literally... "

[matthewmaguire]

In High School we were world class knuckleheads in my crew...could barely answer basic questions in classes.... but something funny would happen....would be out in the woods doing acid and the biggest knucklehead would start saying things that were weird and puzzling and later said knucklehead would not remember anything and return to his knuckleheadedness....only later would I read things in books that sir knucklehead had said...strange. I know God looks out for drunks, little children and idiots but didn’t know he would speak through them.

I can sum up the first bloke's contribution in two words - Woo, Woo.

[tylermacdonald]

Is the host ever going to write on what he's been talking about all these years?

[DaveJLin]

Funny thing is, we wrangle so much about truth mainly because we don't want to accept it.

[jmanj]

25:50 I say that if God is "God", then God is whenever God wants to be. I mean, we're talking about an Existence which self-identified (to borrow a term from the current youth) as, "I Am."
Go Bluejays!

[bazzadebear]

God???? That is just a word. There is no name for what you are looking for :)

[NaturalFuture]

Is the quantum field the ultimate bedrock of reality? But what gives rise to it?

[hotrodsonulondon]

God 🙏 has made a bridge which humanity needs to walk on, God also lives in our deeds and intentions, it's up to God to decide, meditation on god's true name is very important, 10 center's are in our soul's, first center is happiness and sadness, this is the first step or the first challenge, second one is desire of all attachments, and so on I can't tell you the third one, because some thing's are a secret, you need to know who is the true God?. Always remember that God is not your toy,

[HatRSol]

There is nothing like unto Him; this is one of the ways Allah described himself in the Qur'an, Surah Ash-Shuraa [42:11].
