Hey guys, this is Matt Powell.
So whenever dealing with an atheist,
you're gonna hear a lot of regurgitated arguments
that they've heard from television stars
or people on the internet
or their favorite atheist YouTuber that they like.
And a lot of times they just can't seem to really think
on their own two feet.
And that is demonstrated when they make blanket statements
that all of the other big name atheists like to use.
And recently I was speaking with an atheist and he said,
the reason that I can't believe your Bible
is because your God made an animal talk.
Well, what I think is so stupid about that statement
is they actually believe that we are all talking animals.
We're all animals according to evolution
and yet we all speak.
And so there are 7.8 billion people
on our planet right now.
And so that means that they believe
in 7.8 billion talking animals.
So when they say, oh, I can't believe the Bible
is your God made an animal talk.
That's such a hypocritical statement
when they themselves believe that we're all talking animals.
So you're a talking animal that's telling me
that not to believe that God can make an animal talk
when you yourself are a talking animal.
It doesn't make any sense because there's no sense to it.
And anybody that believes these theories
or these wild biogenesis type of things
that aren't based in reality, but in fiction
need to re-examine their position
and they need to stop going out on the street
and holding up their free thinker sign for everybody
to see how logical and smart they are.
So why are you out here today?
To let the religious right know that they've
got to know where they end and we begin.
Because I'm a free thinker, I'm a humanist,
I'm actually a leader in the humanist movement.
Why did you come out today?
I came out today for a reason and for free thought
and because we don't see a lot of that in our town.
It's not going to make any kind of legislation or any push
to teach our kids in early earth or young earth creationism.
Is it meaningless?
No, it's the one life we have,
you have to give it all the meaning you can.
It would look so stupid if I myself got up on the street,
got onto a podium and said, I believe in science
and I hold up a sign that says science and reason
and I try to tell the world that I believe in science.
If I was to do that, that would just go to show
that I'm not sure of myself and I need confirmation
from other people to confirm that I believe in science.
I don't have to do that, I can simply speak the truth
and the truth is more powerful than lies that they peddle.
