> 			A series of videos from UK artist and secular humanist QualiaSoup discussing critical thinking, science, philosophy and the natural world.
> 
> Part 1 – The burden of proof; Makers of supernatural claims have an inescapable burden of proof.
> Part 2 - Lack of belief in gods; Explaining the concept, refuting common objections and giving a number of reasons that atheists are sometimes ‘fervent’.
> Part 3 - Critical Thinking; A look at some of the principles of critical thinking.
> Part 4 - Putting faith in its place; Faith has no place demanding agreement or punishing disagreement.
> Part 5 - Open-mindedness; A look at some of
>  the flawed thinking that prompts people who believe in certain 
> non-scientific concepts to advise others who don’t to be more 
> open-minded.
> Part 6 - Arguing with ghosts; A brief look at the pointless exercise of telling people, rather than asking them, what they believe.
> Part 7 - It *could* just be coincidence; This video shows how probability theory is sufficient to explain even seemingly remarkable coincidences.
> Part 8 - Skewed views of science; A look at the pitfalls of arguing against science from incomprehension or emotion.
> Part 9 - The faith cake; This video challenges the claim that a belief in science requires equal faith to the belief in a god.
> Part 10 - In the beginning, God created injustice; The impossible situation of Adam and Eve, and the unjust treatment they suffered from the ‘merciful and loving’ god.
> Part 11 - Hell: an excessive punishment; Some believe atheists deserve an infinitely grislier fate than this, simply for doubting the existence of a being that doesn’t openly present itself. I’ve always been curious about that.
