Joe Rogan Confronted With A Logical Case For GOD

Stephen Meyer came onto the Joe Rogan Experience and it was pretty awesome. Total respect to Joe for giving him an ear, and to Stephen for laying things out in such a brilliantly clear way. You can find the full conversation on Spotify (JRE is no longer on youtube, unfortunately!)

I think it's worth acknowledging that Rogan is one of the few with a major platform today who will invite people he may not necessarily agree with and will respectfully engage with them and not shut them down. I disagree often with JR but I have great respect for his desire to seek truth wherever it may be found. I also have great respect for those who agree to be guests on his show to have these discussions.

100% is an example of what sets Joe's show apart from all other: the ability to listen to most anything without interrupting

What I like about Joe Rogan is that he's just honestly curious, with a healthy dose of rational thought. He's got his prejudices of course, like we all do, but it always seems to me he's trying to unpack what he's hearing and work through it, instead of just dismissing things because he's got an attitude.

JR is a very good conversationist, always has a diverse group of guests on his shows and genuinely listens to what they’re saying without judgement and is genuinely trying to understand them and learn from them… he’s amazing for that.

One of the absolute best reasons for Joe Rogan being a great interviewer is how respectful he is and how he tries to actually understand what the other person is saying by actively listening. Sometimes he calls out people's crap, but it's rare and he does it rather respectfully.

Joe played the skeptic here, and both men behaved like intelligent, logical people with zero yelling or animosity,
something you don't see much anymore. Very impressive interview, overall, more than 2 hours.

I learned in anatomy that the cell was the basic building block of life. But once we started studying the cell, we realized that the cell was anything but basic.

The reason Joe Rogan is arguably the most popular man in alternative media today, I think at least, is because he is able to genuinely listen to his guests. He doesn't just let them speak, he actively listens to what they have to tell him, while keeping his personal biases to a minimum, and he asks relevant and productive followup questions.

I think we all can learn something from that. Listen to what his guest ACTUALLY says, don't place words in his mouth because you WANTED him to say something else, or YOU would have elaborated on something more.

I don’t think Joe is that dumb, he’s asking “dumb” questions because he has the humility to as questions on behalf of millions of listeners rather than show off or act smart. There is a reason he’s the best, and it’s the opposite of stupidity.

This is the podcast that solidified just how intelligent joe is for me. His ability to listen and deconstruct abstract concepts laid out by the guest, as well as introduce analogous topics to further the discussion can only be done by a very intelligent person.

[joshua]

Yes, Dr. Meyer! Loved his design argument books. I’m a molecular biologist and very religious, so it very much tickled my fancy. Can’t believe he’s on with Rogan already.

[caseybledsoe]

I love that Joe actually listens and takes in info. Many people will derail the conversation if it does not go with their personal thoughts. However, he gives his platform to others to voice their points, and he just asks further questions on the topic of their choice.

James Tour is incredible to listen to. It's truly amazing how complex even the most basic carbohydrate is. Modern science tries to bridge the gap of the origin of life, but the more they discover, the bigger the chasm becomes to solving it.

God is a God of wonders. Amen

[gwenechotaylor]

This is the type of open discussion that many of us are hungry for. No ideology just speaking freely. Rogan appears to be making the effort to truly listen and understand. Good for Rogan for having this scientist on.

[epifunny]

Both Gentlemen did a fantastic job here. Such a credit to Free Speech and our way of Life.

[beamertoy]

I used to not be a fan of Joe early on in his podcast career because of how defensive he would get over certain subjects, like marijuana and god/Christianity. But it's nice to see him finally open up to these questions and really thinking about them without feeling it's a threat to the way he lives. Because most of the time ppl just want to live how they live without burdening themselves with the question of if it's right or wrong.

[minutebooks]

Lots and lots of respect for Joe Rogan to sit there respectfully and give Stephen Meyer a good listen. Good for you, Joe, and praise God!

As long as we get away from the concept of “settled science, ” I enjoy these debates and discussions. There have been multiple scientific ideas over time that have changed as more discoveries have been made. The arrogance that some people have about the mysteries of the universe is astounding. We don’t know as much as some of us think we know.

This was great. Articulating exactly what most of the world feels about a Creator.

I am new believer. I was an athiest. I also happen to be a senior level software engineer. And and much of what he said really resonated with me. But I also feel software is probably not the best analogy. All it is, is mathematics, algorithms. But the idea that a computer program can't accidentally become something new, even given time, by randomly changing the 1's and 0's is pretty spot on.

Though I'm sure many ignorant people will argue "what about A.I.". A.I. cannot create anything new, it can only assemble what it was given in new ways. And it must be given a lot to do so. Given by what some may even label a creator. 😂 (programmer).

Just like cells and DNA, a new program cannot just pop out of nowhere randomly. In computer science, necessity is the mother of invention.

Invention is not the same as creation. And people often fail to make that distinction. Creativity is just assembly. Creation is something from nothing.

Watching this, I realized that _entropy_, what scientists say is common in literally everything and a fact of nature, is an excellent argument against the inter-species evolution theory, especially the weak and lazy "given enough time" argument.


Scientists and philosophers alike agree, entropy is embeded in "nature" in all things. Yet somehow they have a "suspension of disbelief" in order to prove there is no creator, and argue "given enough time".

I often wonder, what motivates people to suspend disbelief in order to deny a creator. Why is it so bad that a creator created everything, and loves us, and gives us rules (patterns) to follow that we all know will make all of our lives, our society, better. Like "do not steal", "do not murder", "do not covet", "do not lie", etc. Why do people resist these?

Once you see, once the veil is lifted, you just get it. But there is some other force out there keeping many of us blind. Causing us to suspend disbelief of facts we already know and see, like entropy.

After my mother died, I struggled with my faith in the Creator - but as I have gotten older, I have felt the Creator come back into my life (almost as if the Creator was waiting on me to stop throwing my hissy fit). We are here for a little while, then we aren't, and THAT is why LIFE IS PRECIOUS.
