Middle Ground is back!! Thanks everyone for watching this highly requested episode. As always, we are not saying science and religion necessarily have to exclude each other - there are religious scientists out there! Instead, we are exploring two sides that society often pits against each other in hopes of finding middle ground #radicalempathy. Let us know in the comments below what future episodes you'd like to see!
Please do Catholics and Protestants!
They should have an Imam or a Muslim scholar its the second largest religion with over 1.8 Billion followers.We need to hear Muslims.
Please make more video of theses bruh, It’s the best thing on your channel
ONLY with: spirit-ghost Scientist AND Natural-scientist in HAMRONIY and Balance can you see and find the REAL truth of life, "god" and the Universe!!! O:)
Industrialists vs Environmentalists.
These are 3 religious people and 3 scientists, BUT More importantly, these are 6 very intelligent very humble people. That goes a LONG way...
pepi88 it’s sad that so many people don’t understand this
Apart from the rabbi lady
Yesss ! The answer!
The rabbi doesn’t be deserved to be called a rabbi- she denies that there is a creator, whereas she’s supposed to be teaching the laws of God
*5 intelligent people
I’d like to see Christian Scientists with Atheist Scientists.
You can just find debates of that.
richardo yeah but I want to see one with this format
Adam Ingi that’s a common misconception. There is scientific evidence for Christian scientists to go off of.
@@gracegiordano4583 like?
Adam Ingi just do some research 😂 I’m not an expert on apologetics but I will have more knowledge soon when I take that class going back to school for my senior year. I’m friends with people that are. One of them has a program called educate for life. There are plenty of sources if you take some time to look into it
It would be interesting to see an episode between religious and non-religious scientists
OMG yes exactly! I would love to see that
it would be very interesting, but i highly doubt that Jubilee would make one
Yh, but isn't the percentage of religious scientists like less than 1%?
Exacto, así parece que un científico no puede ser creyente...
@@djhemp2o5 I don't think it's as low as that. I think it's more like 3/4 of scientists are either atheists or agnostic.
I remember telling my aunt who is extremely religious "I question religion,I can't just do orders without knowing the reason behind them " She told me "questioning is the start of your journey" and now I believe she is such a wise woman, as "questioning is the start of the journey" applies on everything in life ,you should never be ashamed of asking questions.
You have a wise aunt
Very true words indeed
yea but if you keep questioning religion in an honest fashion the idiocy and contradictions become glaring clear.

I'm not a Christian but I really like how calm and understanding the pastor is. Loved to see how the flat earthers didn't even want to hear the scientist's thoughts but how the pastor was quite understanding of others' opinions.
Its like Christians aren't a monolith and not everyone is the same. Really funny how some people say Christians are this and that when there are 2.5 billion of them on earth, if anything they have the most charitable organisations in the world.
@@delightk So true. I mean, just look at how they spread all these weapons around the globe!!! So charitable! Biggest arms dealers all come from xtian countries. PS and if a country has abortion, all charities are withdrawn.
@@delightk well can you blame them, within that 2 bill christians, there are different types of christian groups that do believe in certain things that is used within hatred for other people.
@@TJ-xe1cx could say that about any group though? extremism, bigotry, etc. exists everywhere but that doesn’t mean we should portray every major group as a monolithic entity based on those subsects.
Because in the end, no one can claim any of their beliefs with 100% certainty. Everyone in this video walked a road to get to where they are now, and each road was completely different. Meaning that each person here understands that they can't think less of each other for not having the same beliefs, but can only explain how they came to their own beliefs. We should all be more respectful of each other, because that's the only time problems start to arise. When we start to infringe on the rights of others beliefs.
The monk is 40, his mind is over hundreds. But his face, 25?
Monk minister look like the ninja villain in john wick 3
Because he is vegan...
AYU SEKAR RINI that’s not why
Stress ages you, a Monk is the opposite of stress
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The Buddhist guy is just like "hmmmmmm, good opinions. They will mean nothing in the end"
Its true
Yeah that’s all opinions good and bad🤷🏾♂️
@@TheFINNHERO Not actually. Science is based on continual re-evaluation of the claims as supported by the evidence. When a claim can't be shown to comport to the evidence, then the claim is dismissed. When multiple lines of empirical evidence converge, in inferential-space, upon a singular conclusion and no lines of evidence refute the conclusion -- then that suffices as proof. It's a justified true belief - or knowledge. In science, researchers continually try to disprove and refute and challenge what we currently think. Nope - not opinions at all.
Exactly. I’m with him. I just want to make money and die peacefully.
It also means nothing now
It was so interesting that at the statement, "It is important to question one's own beliefs," everyone came to the table. That shows how mature these people are...it's an important quality for any person to have the humility to question their beliefs if something contradicts them.
You can't question the bible. When it says that there was a talking donkey, then there was a talking donkey. The foot is down. ;-)
@@schmetterling4477The bible has been translated several times in the past hundreds of years. There is bound to be some, if not a lot of mistranslations there which changes the meaning of certain parts. We can definitely question it.
whilst I agree that everyone in this video were all very mature, i don't think that coming to the table for that particular prompt is a signifier of that maturity. Take the flat earthers in the 'flat earthers vs scientists' video. I can picture every single one of them stepping forward to that prompt because they are all self proclaimed 'free thinkers' and their whole identities revolve around questioning what they've been taught. But none of them would listen to reason, they would all interrupt the scientists as they tried to explain themselves, and overall they were very immature. But I am 99% sure they they would all claim that they 'question their own beliefs'
I loved the Buddhist dude. The ocean reference was amazing
It's a classic Buddhists go-to when explaining life and death. They also use a river as an example. Always flowing. Always changing. Its still a river but nothing like the river from a moment ago and nothing like the river a moment from now.
Buddhist minister you mean
Buddhists are awesome
Him: “I’m a paleontologist” Me at my big age: COOL A DINOSAUR MAN !!!

Laugh all you want being called a gynecologist by other people gives me UNLIMITED POWER!!!
A curious mind (the Scientist), that is nurtured with a loving heart (the Pastor & Rabbi), but is also rooted in a balanced perspective (Buddhist) is probably what I took away the most from this discourse.
And a volcanologist to 🔥 things up
This dialogue was missing a Muslim. The question of things that can't be explained by one's belief applies to all the 3 religious guests, but it doesn't apply to Islam. Islamic view explains everything, encourages people to search and experience the universe in every aspect of it, and the Quran actually emphasizes that the more one learns and searches, the more one believes, and this happens only in Islam. If you would like more information, you can search the multitude of Islamic literature. I would highly recommend iERA, Sapience Institute and Blogging Theology.
@@MShreefUK So was this before or after Occasionalism became a major aspect, of it?
@Mohamed Shreef the Islamic view is brutally conservative and in practice, anti human rights. I am from the Islamic Republic of Iran. There is no true love or peace in that religion.
@@MShreefUKmuslim are not peaceful when crossed checked....so it wont be that peaceful...they jump into debate with narrow mentality instead of open mindness...no one gets peace hearing such things...when instead of finding middle ground...they start insulting other religion...
I am as atheistic as it gets, but I have nothing but respect for the religious folk in this video. The humility in admitting they do not have answers and they lean on their faith is far more respectable of a position than forcing others to believe in delusion. Love you guys! Thanks for a great video.

It's interesting having everybody praise the pastor from one conversation. None of us know him - obviously - which really does show how easily one can form a judgement based on appearances.

Yeah that’s Buddhism
@@elf_vip_sone_blackjack_arm2254 not all buddhism. Look up Wirathu in Myanmar. Just like many religions they have many different sects.
In general, Buddhism is more a way of life than a religion. The main branches are Theravada, Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhism. Contrary to popular belief, they don’t believe in a deity or god. Buddha was not a god, he was a man who achieved enlightenment by discovering the Middle Way/Middle Path. Basically living both a life of excess/wealth/luxury and a life of extreme poverty and realising that balance was better than excess. Buddhists believe in reincarnation, how you act in life depends on who/what you’ll reincarnate as, and that one can break from the chain of reincarnation (Enlightenment) through meditation, living a good life, etc. AKA = they chill af
Ikr? I've never seen a Buddhist lose his cool, I've always had a positive energy from them...
@El-ahrairah educate me with what you said
I strongly believe that this is one of my favourite conversations. It's so refreshing to watch people listening to each other with respect and having such a healthy interaction. Thank you for that.
People that disagree coming together having a respectful conversation. They have one sex workers and religious leaders that was awesome too, also LGBTQ vs religious leaders and that was civil and respectful. I was looking forward to the conservative Trans vs the Liberal Trans, that one disappointed me
This was not a discussion between religious leaders and scientists, this was a discussion between 6 wise and intelligent humans with different beliefs.
I feel like the Monk and the Pastor could become best friends and form a life long relationship with each other.

Extreme cringe. 😂
The buddhist guy: oh no no no.......
Why though? I understand that Zen is part of a school of Buddhism that centers around meditation. But in my mind it has always meant being aware and present with your thoughts. Is she wrong to state that?
I am a catholic but I do believe in science as well. My biggest part of how I worship my religion is hope for the afterlife. I just want to be able to see my grandparents again and tell them how much they mean to me and how much I love them.
Exactly it's this beautiful hope which we have and not without a cause.

I think this video was worth watching. I’m Japanese and as many Japanese tend to be, I don’t really see myself having strong faith in a specific religion. I do participate in Buddhism events regarding my passed relatives & ancestors, enjoy Christmas, sometimes go to various Buddhism & Shintoism temples during my walk and pray, all as a cultural custom or a seasonal event and not so much as a believer,which is also a very common thing in Japan, even though it may sound weird. Also, experiencing half my life in Protestant school and kindergarten I think I have positive influence from it, as well as Buddhism influence from living in Japan. So for me, I guess I’m made by pieces that I like out of each philosophy even though I don’t identify as part of a specific religion.
You're just like me😇
“I’m Japanese as many Japanese people tend to be” Lmao
I’m an atheist, but still love these religious leaders, so wholesome and pure in their beliefs’ ways.

7:08 i'm not a buddhist or anything but what the buddhist said about a oceans waves was beautiful. the way the pastor and the buddhist spoke to eachother was so peaceful, the vibe was really there.
oh yeah the Buddhist minister was my favorite, everything he said just seemed to calm me
That's actually the truth, if you meditate or take psychedelics you could actually experience it first hand. So when that geologist said he cannot see any evidence for the life after death, he is just not trying to see and being ignorant.
@@dayelu6028 From what I've heard, it seems pretty hard to take psychedelics and feel cynical about the reality we face after death. Even clinical studies demonstrate that those facing death feel more at ease and ready to die after taking psychedelics. Somethings science can't explain...
It's poetic and beautiful, but it's not an accurate metaphor to describe "us", the consciousness. It would be more like waves without an ocean. Waves that simply disappear rather than retreat back to the ocean. It however does describe life from biological perspective, just another way to say from ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Which is not really beautiful anymore, but rather depressing.
*"That's actually the truth, if you meditate or take psychedelics you could actually experience it first hand. So when that geologist said he cannot see any evidence for the life after death, he is just not trying to see and being ignorant."* When you take psychedelics you have proof for an afterlife? Not very convincing. What they do, is fool you to see things that aren't really there.
The pastor reflects a Christ like character, he listened, he answered, he looked and tried to understand. Never saw him angry. If we only respect each others beliefs and not judging with a "you're wrong and I'm right"
.... I read Chris and I thought it was like a Chad type name (a name that when you say it you know the type of person)
I see what you're saying, but a true Christian would still preach the true gospel message, because that is what we are commanded to do. Christ talked with everybody but still preached repentance and turning from sin. It's not about judging so much because Christians believe that God has already judged us for our sin through the 10 Commandments. Our job is to tell the world about the coming judgment, and the way to be saved from that - repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Most people don't want to hear that they're sinners who need a Savior.
but you do know that internally, he probably did go like they are wrong and his belief is right?

@@bluecloudsss we all do that
This is one of the most calm episode i have ever seen hahaha. My respects to all of them for their respectful way of hearing and understanding each other.
Rabbi: "Like some days I'm like TOTALLY ZEN" Buddhist Monk: *NANI?*
I could feel him cringing 😂
Lol i read this at the exact time she was saying it and i felt like totally zen in that moment

what minute was that lol, never noticed

Having a " volcanologist " as your working title is the coolest thing ever
And one more thing: “Volcanologist”, only means a person STUDIES volcanos. People have been doing that for millennia. The job I believe he’s describing means being on the taxpayer dole to do that.
O people, know by us we are actually one descendant, namely the descendants of the prophet adam as and siti hawa, the differences that exist today are because our mindset is not the same, there are those whose minds are intelligent, smart, mature and some are late thinking. and there are those who do not use their brains at all to think and do not want to think, thus giving rise to various ethnic groups, nationalities, languages, cultures, traditions, ethnicities, slogans, dances, and diverse religions. all that Allah created so that we can get to know each other, be able to respect each other, be able to realize each other, that life in the world is certainly lacking and there are advantages of each. and so that we want to learn and learn the weaknesses and strengths of ourselves, our tribe in our language, all of them have been outlined in this life. this life has been arranged so that everything is balanced. because what we believe is if in the world the minds of all humans are the same, you can imagine yourself, ribeuutt explain ... hahaha so that's why the human mind is not the same. There are intelligent and intelligent people, some are only using their reasoning just to deceive other human beings into fulfilling their own interests. then what are our similarities as humans? humans actually have the same conscience, feeling and feeling. and the purpose of our lives is the same. every human being in this world has the same purpose in life, which is to live happily and want to live safely. happiness and safety in life are our main goals as humans. who are humans who don't want to live happily and live in a safe place? because in a safe place that we can comfortably live this life. in a safe and comfortable place that will create prosperity and prosperity to make this life peaceful. our enemies are the same, that is, what is in us, selfishness and lust. fighting the enemy that looks is easy. the difficult thing is to fight ourselves. admit that our selves are weak and there are many shortcomings in us. we always boast about things that really aren't ours. are we proud of the assets we have, the position we are using, just for what? for the sake of ourselves. we forget outside ourselves there are still many who lack.
How about theoretical physicist
@@Jilan-rv8rj everyone has a different conscience and feeling. Like psychopaths and murder3rs.
I would say the hottest thing ever 😄
This was low key chill, refreshing to see people talking and listening to one another with the intention of learning and understandinng
As a Christian this was a very respectful middle ground
Rabbi: like some days I'm like totally zen **points to the Buddhist monk** Buddhist monk: **here we go again**
nerd in shining glasses I..I.....I don‘t get it
Honestly, the christian guy was so likeable. So calm and open
It’s sad that this is surprising to people. Christians who are very close in their relationship with God are almost always like this. However, you may have found him more likable simply because they didn’t really raise any of the divisive issues that Christianity addresses(sexuality, abortion, etc). I believe this guy would have the same demeanor answering those questions but his answers wouldn’t be pleasing to lots of people(thus making them dislike him)

"I don't believe in a supernatural God. I'm a reconstructionist Jew." That just sounds like agnosticism with extra steps.
She's basically saying I don't believe in the literal word of the scripture but I like to call my self a Jew 🙄😏😂,I can call my self a tree dusnt make it true tho!! 👍
Is that a rick and morty reference??
donskii 0151. Jewish reconstruction bases their almost philosophy on the Talmud and accept the word of god as the word of man trying to understand god and that god isn’t anthropomorphic like most people like to think he/she/it is. Jewish reconstructionists say that god is the totality of all natural phenomena on earth that allows humans to be able to transcend nature morally and spiritually.
Phatdoink ...and the Shulchan Aruch. The Babylonian Talmud has been superseded for the most part. And we’re a tribe, not a religion. Otherwise, yeah.
I'm an atheist and I just looked up Reconstructionist Judaism as soon as she mentioned it. Seems a fair way of thinking tbh.
if everyone were like these 6 people, the world would be a much better place.
Then be like them. Be what you hope to find in others!

I loved this really. It made me reflect a lot, but at the same time, I felt so light the whole video.
Loved how respectful they all were! 👏
The monk and the pastor could be good friends.
both Jesus and Buddha were quite similar if you think about it. They believed in love and peace
@@ronoverflow5890: There were more dissimilarity than similarity among them.
a monk and pastor walked into a bar..
That would be the most epic friendship , uuu

That Buddhist Minister looks like the most understanding father a child could have
But try can’t have children right?
@@gwaladrielle Yes unfortunately monks and Buddhist priest can’t have children because that’s considered inappropriate for a monk or priest in Buddhism.
He was married and have a child

Wish this video was longer ,great thought provoking conversations
This convo was offensively civilized and respectful. Loved every minute of it 🙂
The monk and the pastor seemed like such nice people (no offense to anyone else in the video). They just made me smile it was great :).
Saad K I thought this to I ship it so bad lol those two give off some gay vibes aha
Gay Sunshineshit lol they’re now friends 😂 Haven’t heard of any updates, but the pastor guy said they were gonna meet after the holidays for coffee (which probably already happened since Christmas is long gone.)
Gay Sunshineshit I don’t really see them as a gay couple tho, maybe as good friends y’know. They have such similar personalities, dating someone that’s just like you gets pretty boring lol
Red Bliss omg i declare this a thing and officially ship it
Gay Sunshineshit kinda weird to ship real people though...
The monk wasn't saying that he believes he will continue living as a being after his death, he was saying more that he believes we are part of something bigger, something perhaps we may not be able to comprehend. In the same way that the bacteria inside of us that makes us function isn't aware of the impact it has in its lifetime. This is how some people like to interpret reincarnation.
Thanks for clearing that out. Peace
No
I’m agnostic (which means that I believe in some higher power but I do not care what it is. I just try to be a good person and think rationally with the evidence at hand) but if I had to pick a form of religious faith it would probably be Taoism (basically go with the flow) Call me a hippie I don’t care I just like simplicity
@GenericGamer no.227 Thank you i agree also that it was a great answer.
@@thedingo23 If you dont care than that doesnt mean youre an agnostic. It makes you an apatheist.
this was so calm and mature unlike the other middle ground episodes.

Dude, that monk is freaking handsome. He should be starring in movies seriously.
Isn't he handsome? Like, is that what Buddhism does? Makes a person good-looking? Sign me up! 😝
I was looking for this comment haha
If he's funny, he could be in comedies. If he's skilled at a martial art to a high degree, he could be in action movies. Asians don't get hired in Hollywood for any other reason.
He looks like the main Villain in John Wick 3.
@@captainwafflezs4799 underrated comment.
they got scientists barely related to the conception of the universe. They should have gotten physicists
Chemist is good too
I think the group of people they chose is perfect as it is.
True they should have gotten physicist and cosmologists
They should've brought the three scientists from the flat earth debate, that would've been perfect.
Exactly I thought there would be more astrophysicists,physicists or cosmologists
This should be a masterclass on how to discuss issues and agreeably disagree on issues. The fact you have science and religion balancing discourse is inspiring.
I'm an atheist and have been my whole life. But I simply love researching and studying Buddhist philosophy, it is just so relaxing and peaceful
I'm agnostic, and yes, I love researching Buddhism as well as other religions. Setting aside questions like 'agree or not with this' or 'believe or not in that,' there are so many interesting things in them, even from a scientific perspective
