    Oh right, right. Thanks for clearing that up.
  • @GnosticAtheist
    All right. It is fairly "easy", depending how much space you can handle. We do not have a complete understanding yet, but we have plenty already.
  • @dfarmer1584
    GA, I don't have anything substantive to add to your discussion here--you've illustrated your points fully. I just wanted to add a "comment." I enjoyed this video very much. ;)
  • @GnosticAtheist
    Love is a fleeting term. I will definitely make a video on it in the future.
  • @GnosticAtheist
    I love the graphics of the Mandelbrot set. So complex imagery from so simple numbers. ;) But I am no mathematician...
  • @GnosticAtheist
    Yes, socio-mechanical behavior is seen in all living things; it is just a question of levels. The complex chemical effects in primates are very difficult to map, but in essence not much different from other mammals.
  • @GnosticAtheist
    hehe, thanks. I will probably have to make another on this later on. Josh has not answered yet though...
  • @GnosticAtheist
    Yes, the behavior of animals are not really different from us. We just have a tendency to think we can control ourselves more...
  • @GnosticAtheist
    That depends what you mean by saying "understanding reality". Every living creature "understands" objective reality, the part they need to "understand" to survive. You are asking of imaginary conception to the degree where we can test subjective vs objective; all primates can do that.
  • @GnosticAtheist
    Yes, this is a response video to a 15 year old creationist. I will make more for the atheist and scholars as I go along. ;) My knowledge videos should be up and running soon, even though I promised one a week 2 weeks ago...
  • @GnosticAtheist
    I always put in the description afterwards as, for some strange reason, they do not upload if I write an entire description beforehand... Weird.
  • @GnosticAtheist
    Thanks, the I have the expression copyrighted. NOT! ;) Yes, I liked it as well, I think I made it. Should I get an award? Anyways, hope I made sense in this video, it is difficult explaining such a complex field with just 10 minutes available. I might make another to Josh if he responds with more questions.
  • @achampag
    good vid =) kinda basic tho, cant wait to get to the juicy stuff
  • @GnosticAtheist
    No, he did not approve it, for unknown reasons. I will repost it, and see if it might just was a glitch from his side.
