    I am being 100% honest.. Today, I had this exact same question in my mind. What created God? I start mindlessly and randomly browsing my RUclips feed and see this video shows up.. I truly believe this video was Gods way of giving me answers…Just like what was stated in the video.. if you seek God out he will show you the way.

      @@MsViva710 I generally believe it’s good for people to believe in something because it makes them better people and I also see religions more like traditions and not so much about God necessarily.
      What happened back in those days? Nobody knows for sure but there’s definitely something paranormal and we call it paranormal because we don’t have the understanding of physics yet but it’s more likely that it was non-human intelligence rather than the creator of the universe because even the word “creator” doesn’t make sense. Who created the creator? See? We don’t have the right questions to ask and that’s because we don’t have the physics yet or maybe we do in some black project. Remains to be seen.
      So back to what I was saying, it’s undecidable, at least in terms of public knowledge that is protected under the freedom of information act. In terms of secret knowledge, there’s probably a lot more that we are unaware of.. meaning the public.

      Christianity is a culture, not a fact. Whatever you choose to follow should only be able to facilitate an evolution to your being. Giving you the tools to be able to unshackle you from any limitations spiritually and within in life. Religions generally tend to tie their followers to them too tightly through greed and control (Spanish inquisition, taliban in Afghanistan) rarely do they give the tools to help you guide your own spiritual development which in turn then evolves the religion itself. It was a Roman Emperor Constantine that developed Christianity to have the heaven and hell notion in order to have some allegiance and obedience towards his religion. Creating fear among his people not freedom. It originally had the belief of reincarnation. Says a lot about the idea of God giving free will, when it could be that you are a piece of god and free will is an immutable condition to your being as God has ultimate free will. Making you your own saviour. Buddhism has many great tools of self development and its said that Jesus was a reincarnation of the Buddha.

I dont believe in that kind of GOD, but as this guy answering the atheist said, that he thought of whats out there in space is what he thought is god that i can agree AND disagree with. There are forces we just dont understand and never will until we die, and even then we might not know it. There are only theories. You have on this earth as the guy stated "free will"... so you do with that what you want. My thesis is that we all are just like any other living organism on this earth, fragile and weak, but evolved to a point of what we concieve as HIGHLY intelligent. And just the fact that we may regard ourselves as highly intelligent prooves how uneducated and clueless we really are to the real forces of space/universe and its mysteries.

      The unavoidable fatal flaw of these religious apologetics or any failed argument in general is that they rely on at least one foundational assertion being true despite a lack of sufficient evidence or proof of that claim. How it’s a problem is that the unproven claim isn’t even at issue, and instead is just automatically accepted and is a springboard for what the conversation at hand is based on, which itself becomes fruit of the poisonous tree. As an example, when the speaker talked about the story discussing whether or not the mother who rejected the gospel is in hell or not. The answer that he discussed sounded nice, but he glossed over demonstrating that hell even existed. Absent of that, any discussion surrounding hell is irrelevant and invalid.

      Dear people
      you have Warned ⚠️
      in the Last Holy Book of Humanity
      (The Holy Book Quran)
      (5:72) And surely they disbelieved when they said: 'Christ, the son of Mary, is indeed God'; whereas Christ had said: 'Children of Israel! Serve Allah, Who is your Lord and my Lord.' Allah has forbidden Paradise to those who associate anything with Him in His divinity and their refuge shall be the Fire.
      (5:73) Those who said: 'Allah is one of the Three', certainly they disbelieved, for there is no god save the One God. And if they do not give up this claim, all who have disbelieved among them shall be subjected to painful chastisement.
      And for their saying, "We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of God." In fact, they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they did. Indeed, those who differ about him are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, except the following of assumptions. Certainly, they did not kill him. Rather, God raised him up to Himself. God is Mighty and Wise.
      -Quran 4:157-4:158
      وَاِذۡ قَالَ اللّٰهُ يٰعِيۡسَى ابۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ ءَاَنۡتَ قُلۡتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُوۡنِىۡ وَاُمِّىَ اِلٰهَيۡنِ مِنۡ دُوۡنِ اللّٰهِ​ؕ قَالَ سُبۡحٰنَكَ مَا يَكُوۡنُ لِىۡۤ اَنۡ اَقُوۡلَ مَا لَـيۡسَ لِىۡ بِحَقٍّ​ؕ اِنۡ كُنۡتُ قُلۡتُهٗ فَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتَهٗ​ؕ تَعۡلَمُ مَا فِىۡ نَفۡسِىۡ وَلَاۤ اَعۡلَمُ مَا فِىۡ نَفۡسِكَ​ؕ اِنَّكَ اَنۡتَ عَلَّامُ الۡغُيُوۡبِ‏ 
      (5:116) And imagine when thereafter Allah will say: 'Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to people: "Take me and my mother for gods beside Allah?" and he will answer: "Glory to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right to. Had I said so, You would surely have known it. You know all what is within my mind whereas I do not know what is within Yours. You, indeed You, know fully all that is beyond the reach of human perception.
      مَا قُلۡتُ لَهُمۡ اِلَّا مَاۤ اَمَرۡتَنِىۡ بِهٖۤ اَنِ اعۡبُدُوا اللّٰهَ رَبِّىۡ وَرَبَّكُمۡ​ۚ وَكُنۡتُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ شَهِيۡدًا مَّا دُمۡتُ فِيۡهِمۡ​ۚ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيۡتَنِىۡ كُنۡتَ اَنۡتَ الرَّقِيۡبَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ​ؕ وَاَنۡتَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ شَهِيۡدٌ‏
      (5:117) I said to them nothing except what You commanded me, that is: 'Serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' I watched over them as long as I remained among them; and when You did recall me, then You Yourself became the Watcher over them. Indeed, You are Witness over everything.
      اِنۡ تُعَذِّبۡهُمۡ فَاِنَّهُمۡ عِبَادُكَ​ۚ وَاِنۡ تَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ فَاِنَّكَ اَنۡتَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ‏
      (5:118) If You chastise them, they are Your servants; and if You forgive them, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."'
      قَالَ اللّٰهُ هٰذَا يَوۡمُ يَـنۡفَعُ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ صِدۡقُهُمۡ​ؕ لَهُمۡ جَنّٰتٌ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَاۤ اَبَدًا​ ؕ رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَرَضُوۡا عَنۡهُ​ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ الۡـفَوۡزُ الۡعَظِيۡمُ‏
      (5:119) Thereupon Allah will say: 'This day truthfulness shall profit the truthful. For them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow. There they will abide for ever. Allah is well- pleased with them, and they well-pleased with Allah. That indeed is the mighty triumph.'
      لِلّٰهِ مُلۡكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا فِيۡهِنَّ​ ؕ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ
      (5:120) To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them and He has full power over everything.
      Qur’aan 3:59-62]
      3:59
      إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ ءَادَمَ ۖ خَلَقَهُۥ مِن تُرَابٍۢ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ
      Verily, the example of Jesus in the sight of Allaah is like the example of Adam - He created him from dust and then said to him ‘Be’ and he was.
      3:60
      ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْمُمْتَرِينَ
      This is the truth from your Lord, so do not be from those who doubt.
      3:61
      فَمَنْ حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا۟ نَدْعُ أَبْنَآءَنَا وَأَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَنِسَآءَنَا وَنِسَآءَكُمْ وَأَنفُسَنَا وَأَنفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ
      So whoever disputes with you concerning him (i.e. Jesus) after all this knowledge (about him) has come to you, say: ‘Come, let us summon our children and your children, our women and your women and ourselves and yourselves and then invoke God to send His curses on those of us who is lying.’
      3:62
      إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْقَصَصُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۚ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
      Verily, this is the true story (about Jesus). And there is no God that has the right to be worshipped except Allaah.
      And indeed Allaah is the All-Mighty, All-Wise.”
      I Pray to GOD to Guide me and My Christian and Jewish People to The Right Path And Truth.

      When Moses came at the appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he asked, “My Lord! Reveal Yourself to me so I may see You.” Allah answered, “You cannot see Me! But look at the mountain. If it remains firm in its place, only then will you see Me.” When his Lord appeared to the mountain, He levelled it to dust and Moses collapsed unconscious. When he recovered, he cried, “Glory be to You! I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of the believers.”

      @@Gankstomper Whether you want to believe that God exist or do not, it makes no difference to the very existence of God, it will only determine your end destination and where you will spend eternity. There are non-Biblical evidence of events described in the Bible that are irrefutable such as the flood, the Egyptians that drowned in the red sea, the existence of king David, certain tribes in the Bible that they never even thought existed, so whether you say God does not exist or does exist, makes no difference, but there are way more proof that God does exist than for the non-existence of God....

      @@justmyopinion7 You have no clue what you're talking about. There's proof of the flood? No, you have it exactly backwards. We can prove the flood DIDN'T happen. Do you know what water does to soil, and other layers of the earth? The flood would have left permanent evidence everywhere in the world. Yet we can prove many many places have never had large amounts of water. Not to mention all the other problems with the story of Noah. I think anyone with even a middle school education should be able to identify certain things there that make no sense. Do you really believe a species can completely repopulate back from just 2 members? You'd have to know nothing about basic biology to believe that. I could go on about that story, I'm very pleased you used such an asinine example.
      The Bible containing some true things doesn't instantly validate everything in it. You don't get to say "oh this guy existed, these tribes existed, therefore the magical sky daddy does." The Spiderman comics contain real places in New York, does that prove Spiderman exists?
      You don't have any proof for your God. All you have is claims you can't back up, and arguments AGAINST your God you have no answer for, such as the problem of evil.

      Unfortunately his understanding of hell isn't biblical. Most people's understanding of hell isn't biblical. Hell is not eternal. Hell is not open right now for any human beings or life that was ever created on this earth. The only being confined to anywhere that could be considered hell is the heavenly hosts who disobeyed God's wishes. They are in a deep abyss. In the end times it says in revelation chapter 20 that the beast, the false prophet, and the serpent called Devil will go into the lake of fire for ever and ever. Everyone else will be judged and thrown in the lake but so will death and hell/hades. Not forever but it's the 2nd death. Not an eternal soul. The parable of Lazarus and the Richman is a parable, not literal. People don't realize that the OT has zero concept of an eternal lake of fire where people go in an after life. It's sheol which is an ambiguous word which seems like in some passages that it's speaking of a place where souls are living but it's a misunderstanding by modern Christianity. Even the NT and Jesus say death is like a sleep. We will all sleep until the day of judgment then at that time you will either die again or be taken to God. Thessalonians 4:13-17 which people use to justify pretrib rapture shows the dead will rise first, then the living will be taken as well. There's a lot of other proof verses but the point is he's wrong about hell.

      (5:116) And imagine when thereafter Allah will say: 'Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to people: "Take me and my mother for gods beside Allah?" and he will answer: "Glory to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right to. Had I said so, You would surely have known it. You know all what is within my mind whereas I do not know what is within Yours. You, indeed You, know fully all that is beyond the reach of human perception.
      مَا قُلۡتُ لَهُمۡ اِلَّا مَاۤ اَمَرۡتَنِىۡ بِهٖۤ اَنِ اعۡبُدُوا اللّٰهَ رَبِّىۡ وَرَبَّكُمۡ​ۚ وَكُنۡتُ عَلَيۡهِمۡ شَهِيۡدًا مَّا دُمۡتُ فِيۡهِمۡ​ۚ فَلَمَّا تَوَفَّيۡتَنِىۡ كُنۡتَ اَنۡتَ الرَّقِيۡبَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ​ؕ وَاَنۡتَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ شَهِيۡدٌ‏
      (5:117) I said to them nothing except what You commanded me, that is: 'Serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' I watched over them as long as I remained among them; and when You did recall me, then You Yourself became the Watcher over them. Indeed, You are Witness over everything.
      اِنۡ تُعَذِّبۡهُمۡ فَاِنَّهُمۡ عِبَادُكَ​ۚ وَاِنۡ تَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ فَاِنَّكَ اَنۡتَ الۡعَزِيۡزُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ‏
      (5:118) If You chastise them, they are Your servants; and if You forgive them, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise."'
      قَالَ اللّٰهُ هٰذَا يَوۡمُ يَـنۡفَعُ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ صِدۡقُهُمۡ​ؕ لَهُمۡ جَنّٰتٌ تَجۡرِىۡ مِنۡ تَحۡتِهَا الۡاَنۡهٰرُ خٰلِدِيۡنَ فِيۡهَاۤ اَبَدًا​ ؕ رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَرَضُوۡا عَنۡهُ​ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ الۡـفَوۡزُ الۡعَظِيۡمُ‏
      (5:119) Thereupon Allah will say: 'This day truthfulness shall profit the truthful. For them are Gardens beneath which rivers flow. There they will abide for ever. Allah is well- pleased with them, and they well-pleased with Allah. That indeed is the mighty triumph.'
      لِلّٰهِ مُلۡكُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا فِيۡهِنَّ​ ؕ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ
      (5:120) To Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is in them and He has full power over everything.
      Qur’aan 3:59-62]
      3:59
      إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَىٰ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ ءَادَمَ ۖ خَلَقَهُۥ مِن تُرَابٍۢ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُۥ كُن فَيَكُونُ
      Verily, the example of Jesus in the sight of Allaah is like the example of Adam - He created him from dust and then said to him ‘Be’ and he was.
      3:60
      ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْمُمْتَرِينَ
      This is the truth from your Lord, so do not be from those who doubt.
      3:61
      فَمَنْ حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَكَ مِنَ ٱلْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا۟ نَدْعُ أَبْنَآءَنَا وَأَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَنِسَآءَنَا وَنِسَآءَكُمْ وَأَنفُسَنَا وَأَنفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَى ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ
      So whoever disputes with you concerning him (i.e. Jesus) after all this knowledge (about him) has come to you, say: ‘Come, let us summon our children and your children, our women and your women and ourselves and yourselves and then invoke God to send His curses on those of us who is lying.’
      3:62
      إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْقَصَصُ ٱلْحَقُّ ۚ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَـٰهٍ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
      Verily, this is the true story (about Jesus). And there is no God that has the right to be worshipped except Allaah.
      And indeed Allaah is the All-Mighty, All-Wise.”
      I Pray to GOD to Guide me and My Christian and Jewish People to The Right Path And Truth.
      ❤️ 💙 💜
      Ameen

      Holy Book Quran 2:47
      يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتِيَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَأَنِّي فَضَّلْتُكُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ
      2:47) O Children of Israel! Recall My favour which I bestowed upon you, exalting you above all nations.
      (2:48) Fear the Day when no one shall avail another, when no intercession will be accepted, when no one will be ransomed, and no criminal will receive any help.
      Holy book Quran 7:143
      Prophet Musa (Moses) Pbuh
      When Moses came at the appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he asked, “My Lord! Reveal Yourself to me so I may see You.” Allah answered, “You cannot see Me! But look at the mountain. If it remains firm in its place, only then will you see Me.” When his Lord appeared to the mountain, He levelled it to dust and Moses collapsed unconscious. When he recovered, he cried, “Glory be to You! I turn to You in repentance and I am the first of the believers.”

      Is 100% lying when saying that there is evidence against the universe being the un caused first cause. The universe itself can always be expanding and contracting. Heat isn’t disappearing in the universe. It is simply finite while the universe is currently expanding. “Space, time and matter had a beginning”. Yes….for THIS iteration of the universe. Each possible iteration has new time, space, and matter. This man is full of shit. There isn’t a shred of evidence that supports the existence of any god, and CERTAINLY not the Canaanite war god Yahweh, that eventually morphed into the nonsensical god of Christians.

    • @GRDwashere
      @GRDwashere Год назад

      One problem - he's WRONG about the science. From Einstein's field equations to the Hubble constant and the CMBR, all of them are only applicable at least one Planck unit of time after the beginning of the inflationary period, and the singularity he mentions is not 'nothing' as he states, on the contrary it is in fact everything! There is absolutely NO evidence of what preceded the beginning of inflation including the existence of time itself. That means that it is plausible that the universe is in fact eternal and what we observe is just the current quantifiable internal state of the universe as it is all we have access to examine.
      Stepping outside that observable realm as he does in his answer is unwarranted unless he chooses to do so on nothing but faith alone, which is fine except that that's not what he's presenting here.
      The only honest conclusion is that the science does NOT support his answer to the question and the proposition as stated in the question, i.e. the universe itself may be the eternal component is still a viable hypothesis.
