The Present Knowledge Within Physics

There is much misunderstanding and resistance regarding what is happening in the complicated field of physics. The video below is a little over an hour-long but is fairly complete on the present state of human knowledge (and speculation) in this basic science:

Mysteries of Modern Physics

No Soul, No Afterlife

There are many ways to falsify religious claims. Sean Carroll always seems to be able to communicate ways of doing so with succinctness, clarity, and humor. Here in this video, he presents the following FACTS:

• Our reality involves atoms (chemistry) ONLY.
• Life emerged from chemistry.
• At death, our atoms disperse from our bodies and stay within our natural reality.
• Thus, there is no support for a supernatural "Soul" or for our brains being conduits for a universal "Consciousness."
• Free Will: Humans can't overrule the laws of physics but are rational agents with the ability to make choices.

Sooooo, to religious apologists: Why do you ignore reality understood by science?

Time Is Mysterious

Intuition/Common Sense break down not only in the findings within Quantum Mechanics but Time as well:

"What is Time? Tackle one of the greatest problems in all of science—the nature of time itself—in "Mysteries of Modern Physics: Time," a groundbreaking course by Dr. Sean Carroll, one of the foremost researchers in this field. In this second video from the 24-video series, Professor Carroll approaches time from a philosophical perspective. “Presentism” holds that the past and future are not real; only the present moment is real. However, the laws of physics appear to support “eternalism”—the view that all of the moments in the history of the universe are equally real."

Supernaturalism Has Nothing To Stand On

Sean Carroll is one of the best communicators for delineating the differences between the natural and the supernatural, with strong support for the claim that most probably there is no supernatural realm.  In this 10-minute video, he clearly and concisely does so.

Other Ways Of Knowing?

Whenever I get into a discussion with a philosopher or religious apologist, the subject of "Ways of Knowing" other than through scientific methods usually rears its head.  Following are three links, with highlights from such, that I believe shed more light than heat on the subject:
