| I would say that it is a challenge in our society right now. | |
| People are definitely on different sides in terms of believing in aliens. | |
| Matt, recently there was an incident in Miami which warranted a very big police response. | |
| You are definitely on the case on your show covering it. | |
| I have never seen a bigger police response plausibly in my life, maybe not since 9-11. | |
| But on the topic of aliens altogether, where are you at? | |
| Well, I think famously it's known that I'm fully bought in. | |
| I'm fully bought into all of it. | |
| And I think that, you know, the easiest thing, if you're on the doubter side of it, the easiest thing to debate for you on that side is the issue of whether or not aliens have actually visited Earth. | |
| I think they have. In fact, they were just in Miami shopping at the mall, so we know that. | |
| But... So that's one thing. | |
| But then there's the kind of broader, which I think is maybe an even more interesting topic, which is whether these life forms exist at all in the universe. | |
| And when it comes to that, I think that the argument on the doubter side is incredibly flimsy. | |
| I think that if you are... | |
| We don't know for sure, but if you had to guess one way or another, the smartest and most educated guess is that... | |
| Somewhere on the trillions of planets that exist in this universe, there are probably other forms of life. | |
| To me, it really is a common sense thing, and people think way too hard on the topic. | |
| I always just go back to common sense, and that's where I'm at. | |
| Do you think that we are the most intelligent being in the universe? | |
| Clearly not, because we can't get out into the universe. | |
| We can't get to the bottom of the ocean. | |
| So there obviously has to be more intelligent beings, even when you consider where we were just 100 years ago compared to today. | |
| And so I think it's the word alien that throws people off, maybe because it just relies on cultural depictions and movie screens. | |
| You know, alien just means foreigner. | |
| Do you believe that there is something foreign to this planet that could be outside in the planetary system? | |
| Yes. Obviously. | |
| I really think it's that obvious. | |
| And for whatever reason, people don't even want to consider it. | |
| And I think that actually has more to do with fear than rationality, right? | |
| Because then suddenly if you start recognizing that there are more intelligent beings out there and they don't want to be seen... | |
| Then you can become remarkably fearful and people prefer not to consider something that big, would be my take. | |
| Yeah, I think that's part of it. | |
| I also think, like, I think a lot of this comes back to the religious question that people have a hard time with. | |
| I don't. But, you know, if you look at this, yeah, if you look at this from a purely materialistic standpoint, which is not my standpoint, I'm not a materialist. | |
| But if you look at it from that standpoint, there's really, there's nothing to even talk about. | |
| It's like, then it's just a number, it's just kind of a numbers game. | |
| It's a game of odds and statistics. | |
| And just like statistically, it's almost inconceivable that there would be trillions of planets | |
| in the world, in the universe. | |
| And we are the only one that managed to develop life. | |
| But people, I think from what I, from having this conversation many times with many people, | |
| what I have encountered, like 90% of the time, it quickly comes down to the fact | |
| that the person I'm talking to, if they don't believe, if they're a doubter | |
| when it comes to aliens, it's because they're Christian and they think that this creates | |
| some sort of theological quandary to imagine that there might be beings elsewhere | |
| in the universe, especially rational beings. | |
| But I don't see it that way. | |
| I don't think that there's nothing in the Bible that precludes it. | |
| The Bible really is not... | |
| The Bible isn't interested in telling us about what's happening in other galaxies. | |
| It's just not... That's not what the Bible is trying to do. | |
| It just leaves that an open question. | |
| And I also think that you can make the argument from the other way, theologically, that we know that God created the universe. | |
| He created all these many hundreds of billions of galaxies. | |
| And God does things for reasons. | |
| And so why are all those galaxies there? | |
| I think it's logical to theorize that all this other stuff is in the universe because there are other beings out there that are using it. | |
| To me, that's not only a scientific... | |
| Conclusion, but also theologically, it makes a lot of sense to me. | |
| Yeah, I do run into that theological problem with people when I debate it, and I say the exact same thing. | |
| I actually think it's quite limiting to say that, you know, God created all of this, and it's just about, you know, the human beings that are on earth, right? | |
| He's greater than that, and obviously we can't even think about the things that he has created and why he has created them because we're not meant to be able to do that. | |
| But totally agree with your take. | |
| Hey guys, if you like this video, you will definitely like the full episode even better. |
