    From YouTube user Evid3nc3. (The full playlist of this video series is here: Why I Am No Longer a Christian.)

    I lay the philosophical groundwork for my epistemological position of Evidentialist Foundationalism by contrasting it with the First Principles journey of the Rationalist Descartes.

    GREAT VIDEO, lwt. This should be required viewing in public schools - Critical Thinking 101.

    I've watched some of his other videos in the past but this one is quite possibly the best.

    EVID3NC3, TheraminTrees, QualiaSoup, and NonStampCollector are, thus far, my favorite YouTube channels.

    If I listened to this guy, I would have to give very little weight to claims by people that God has answered their personal prayers or directly or indirectly contacted them personally. I don't know if I am ready for that.....

    ....okay, I am ready for that.

    Brilliant. Thanks for posting leavingwt. I thought QualiaSoup was some of the best YouTube had to offer, but hadn't seen any Evid3nc3 vids yet. Great stuff.

    I had a recent personal experience that demonstrated the ease of which we can be fooled by misremembering and misperception. Especially when coupled with emotional susceptibility.

    Also...gotta like the "Luke, I am your father / No, I am your father" reference. Most people quote the former.
