0:00.0 | Hello, everyone. So for those who have not seen it, |
0:03.9 | Jordan Peterson had a pretty amazing discussion with Alex O'Connor, |
0:08.0 | Cosmic Skeptic, who I've also talked to on his channel as well. |
0:12.2 | I have to say that of all the celebrity atheists, this is, |
0:17.8 | Alex is really showing himself to be one of the people that is truly paying attention, |
0:22.9 | not only paying attention, but seems to understand the arguments that Jordan is presenting |
0:28.0 | more than any of the other kind of celebrity atheist I've seen him talk to in the past. |
0:33.5 | One of the frustrations that I've had, and you know that is often in talking to these |

1:17.6 | to push his own understanding of what religious thought is and has been thinking, trying |
1:23.1 | to think deeply about the stories, about what they mean, about, you know, what would it |
1:29.3 | mean for them to have happened also in a more kind of physical sense or not? All of this |
1:35.8 | stuff. Anyway, the conversation is very interesting. Definitely worth watching. And surprisingly, |
1:40.8 | Alex is able to get questions out of Jordan Peterson that many people have not been able to get, which even surprised me. |
1:47.5 | That is, Alex asked him if someone put a camera in front of the tomb of Christ, if it would have captured someone walking out. |
