I encourage Christians to buy a telescope to gaze at the stars at night. It's one of the most amazing things God made for us to marvel at His magnificent Glory.
It’s amazing to look up on a starry clear night, but even a 10x45 pair of decent binoculars is a huge step up from the naked eye- with the general purpose bins, you can see the moons of Jupiter like tiny diamonds, and get an inkling of the vast depth of space when a blurry faint patch becomes the mass of stars of the Pleiades
I picked up cheap one second hand nd purchased a decent eyepiece for aa couple of hundred dollars. Lenses with very wide field of views are now affordable and make viewing much easier. Astronomy can be very expensive but it doesn't have to be. I find it so amazing to look at Jupiter and it's moons live in real time. Seeing pictures form NASA may be extremely awesome but seeing it live even though small and with less detail it is far more amazing to me to. I see the cosmos and see the beauty of Gods creation and the wonder o f it and the universe now seems small in comparison to God.
Sometimes it's ok to admit "I just don't know." No one knows we'll probably never know. Is that a scary thought? Maybe... but once you except it, it's a whole lot more freeing and humbling thing.
Or you could just say God is the explanation. Thunder is just Thor's hammer making a big noise...see everything can be explained easily by saying it's God's work.

@Joe dirty71 Truth is Jesus. “I am the way, the truth, and the life. Nobody comes to the Father but by me.” John 14:6. Jesus is the Word become flesh ad dwelt among us, John 1. 2 Peter tells us that no human wrote scripture, but God’s Spirit came upon them. 2 Timothy 3. If you don’t have faith and believe you probably won’t care about these references, but these are references written in the Bible refuting your statement.
“Why is a fool atheist?” “A fool says in his heart: There is no God” (Psa 14:1), but he doesn’t say what his motivation is for this statement. First of all, we have to eliminate the idea that there is no reason for his statement. The expression “to say in heart” in Hebrew means not only “to think” but also “to deliberate or to reflect”. The statement of the fool wasn’t a mindless slogan but the fruit of reflection. Taking this into consideration, we propose at least three ways to find out the reasons for such strong rejection of God. First, a fool is an atheist because of his unpunished crime. A fool saw people committing several crimes without being punished. If God existed, he would not allow evil to exist. Similar logic can be found in Psalm 10, when the Psalmist is asking God: Why do the wicked renounce God, and say in their hearts, "You will not call us to account"? (Psa 10:13). Second, a fool is atheist because of the corruption of the fools. The fools see that God doesn’t punish them for their sins, so they continue to walk on the way of evil. After the statement “there is no God”, the Psalmists speaks about the description of their conduct: “They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is no one who does good. (Psa 14:1)”. Both the first and the second explanation suit the Targum of Psalms that paraphrases our passage: “There is no rule of God on the earth". Third, a fool is atheist because of wrong theology. Why does the fool reject God? Because he has the wrong idea about God. The theology preceded the atheism. What kind of theology is atheism? The fool saw the incompatibility of the notion of God and reality. If he didn’t know God as the Supreme Judge, he would not reject him on grounds that God does not punish the evil. If he didn’t know that God takes care of the poor, he would not reject him seeing the poor devoured by the enemies. (Psa 14:4). It’s really interesting that the fool sees the incompatibility of the notion of God and reality and doesn’t reject the way of thinking about God. Instead, the fool prefers to reject God than to change his theology. So, “Why is a fool atheist?” Because in the test of theology, he prefers to reject the God he knows, than to search for the unknown God. Atheists foolishly reject the notion that a Designer should preclude a design. Have you ever researched to find out as to what have been some of the most complex or complicated machines or devices that man has ever built to date. One of these complex machines was the Airbus A380. In order to build just ONE Airbus A380 this single aircraft requires about 4 million parts, with .5 million part numbers produced by 1500 companies from 30 countries around the world. There is also the large Hadron Collider. It is the most expensive and complex machine ever built. The LHC was built in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries, as well as hundreds of universities & laboratories. The LHC is the largest single machine in the world which lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17mi) in circumference, as deep as 175 metres (574ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. The majority of people, myself included, probably do not know or understand the precise complexities or the effort of the intelligent people and minds that had to work together in order to design & build such massive & complex machinery. The Airbus A380 was intelligently & deliberately designed by intelligent minds & each of the 4 million parts that make that aircraft have a specific purpose in the make-up & design of that plane. The LHC too - as complex as it is, was intelligently & deliberately designed through the cooperation of over 10,000 intelligent minds who come from over 100 countries. Now - if we were to use the same thought process or the same thought pattern that the atheist uses in relation to creation, it would be very easy to understand why atheism is extremely foolish and why atheists are regarded as being fools by God. Somehow, the atheist cannot appreciate the complexity but yet harmonious aspects of nature or the universe and come to the conclusion that there is a vastly superior Being behind creation. They cannot appreciate just the complexity and wonders of the human body but yet foolishly come to a poor conclusion that the human body and human existence as a result is just one big accident. Albert Einstein was quoted as saying “The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in a position of the little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws but we understand the laws only dimly"

My teacher was teaching a secular world view. When I was watching an episode with the whole class, "Cosmos". Me knowing the truth, the Word of God in 2023. I was blinded by the enemy and God opened my eyes. Genesis 1:1-5 NKJV - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.
“35-Million-Year-Old” Mayfly Looks Astonishingly Like a Mayfly" Breaking news: ancient (“35-million-year-old”) mayflies looked extremely similar to modern-day mayflies! Okay, that might not seem like very big news. From a biblical standpoint, of course mayflies look like mayflies (and they aren’t 35 million years old anyway!). But for those who interpret the evidence with the evolutionary worldview, we have to ask: why are so many of the creatures scientists find preserved in amber virtually identical to their modern-day counterparts? (Consider, for example, mosquitoes filled with blood that look identical to modern mosquitos, tardigrades that remained tardigrades, plant mites that look like plant mites, and frogs that look like frogs.) Why are so many of the creatures scientists find preserved in amber virtually identical to their modern-day counterparts? Ken Ham October, 2022
Probably 30 years ago, while I was in the produce section my favorite grocery store, I saw a teenage girl with a really cool t-shirt. It said: "I believe in the 'Big Bang'. God said it, and BANG there it was". 🙂
That's Genesis 1:1. Big Bang cosmology necessitates a beginning. A beginning necessitates a Beginner! Science (the real kind) doesn't know with certainty how God did it all, only that without any intervention from God, this is our best understanding and it's subject to revision as new data emerges.
Hey All, Facts are necessary in life, but the truth brings life. Although the interest in how everything began is important and fun to know, it's not the biggest priority in life. The truth is. And when you know it, it sets you free. Christ Jesus is the truth. It's about you choosing to believe Him as the Messiah and Son of God, who was also God in the flesh. Knowing about the origins of our existence is absolutely pertinent, but do you know Jesus and how much He loves you and desire you to know Him? He wants you free from worry, anxiety, fear, depression, offence, and many life draining things, BUT you must believe in Him eventhough you can't see or feel Him. It's a leap of faith! Lastly, as someone once told me, you will always have another question after another. So have faith in the truth of Jesus.
@@frankcardano4142 No one's running. You just can't back up evolution. DNA is information and information comes from information.

@@patelk464 The plants didn't grow, they were created fully formed. Light was created on day 1 anyway, so your point is zilch. "First witness argument"?

Your real gripe is with the very existence of God; not with citing Him as the authority. Anybody could tell you that God is infinitely more wise and powerful than all mankind combined. Why, isn't that implicit in the definition of the word _god?_ Nobody who trusts even only that such a God exists would dare doubt His word. Your gripe is with God's existence, not His authority. You either come back with an argument, or you get pulled out of our sides, you thorn; you know you've only come to get under our skin and make a fool of yourself. So go on, don't disappoint.
@Just me The Bible is literally God telling us things, starting with where the universe came from. Fools spend lifetimes denying a firsthand account, and then trying to figure iut some other way to explain the event. Every sort of explanation those people come up with falls apart when unified with other explanations. Lies just don't jive.
@Just me plagiarized? Not hardly. When you take an in-depth look into the so-called plagiarisms that occurred to make the Bible they really don't work. The similarities are vague and spread out. Finally that but there is no direct evidence that the apostles actually got any of their information from pagan religions. It's just hearsay on the part of atheists to make this accusation. Nothing but guesswork and accusations backed by assumptions. Keep trying though. You may get it, yet!

You are absolutely correct. Evolutionary Science has absolutely nothing to do with how life started, or in your words, "how to get life from nothingness..." That is strictly within the realm of Origin of Life Research, which is vigorous, active, and has made many major breakthroughs in the past decade. There is much that is unknown, but that island of the unknown is shrinking every single year as many brilliant minds work on the mystery of just exactly how life came to be.

Yes, Satan, the devil, is real. The word “Satan” comes from Hebrew which literally means “adversary.” The first mention of the term Satan is found in the book of Job 1-2 (adversary of Job), which is one of the oldest books in the Bible. Satan is also found in Zechariah 3:1-2 (accusing Joshua the High Priest) and 1 Chron. 21:1 (moving David to number Israel). Satan is the leader of the evil forces. He is known as Lucifer, which is the name of the fallen Angel who opposes God and mankind. He is also known as Beelzubul, the evil one, and the devil. So, yes, the devil is real. Most of the information about Satan comes from the New Testament where he is also known as the devil (Greek, diabolos). Satan seeks to undo the work of God (Mark 4:15) and cause evil (John 13:2, 27). He is the father of lies (John 8:44) and the deceiver (Revelation 12:9). He can disguise himself as an angel of light (2 Cor.11:14), use various schemes to deceive people (2 Cor. 2:11), tempt (1 Cor. 7:5), misquote Scripture to induce people to sin (Matt. 4:6), can make people sick (Luke 13:16), take away the good seed of God’s word (Mark 4:15), and hinder missionary work (1 Thess. 2:18). However, Satan, along with all the demonic forces, has been judged (John 16:11) and faces a future judgment where he will be cast into hell (Matt. 25:41; Rev. 20:10).
@All About Britain is it? Perhaps popular opinion is not always correct, Brit. Examples: "1. Political correctness 2. Framing effects 3. Innumeracy 4. Budget constraints 5. Fragility I’ll take them in order, starting with two obvious points (for completeness): 1. People like to look good. They are prone to answer questions from pollsters in ways that make them look good. There’s the famous “Bradley effect” where California voters were reluctant to tell pollsters that they did not intend to vote for the African-American candidate. I wonder if that wasn’t also a part of Trump’s surprise win? 2. Poll results depend on the way a question is worded. Consider a poll question that asked, “If you found out that a candidate was pro-abortion, would you be more likely to vote for them?” How about if the wording were changed from anti-abortion to pro-choice? Which question will get more “yes” responses? Admittedly, those aren’t exactly the same poll question, but my point is that survey questions are often worded in loaded ways, and that this affects the results. I believe the next three are bit less obvious: 3. I recall an interesting set of polls back around 1990. People were asked what rate of increase in Medicare spending was appropriate, starting with 0% to 2%, then 2% to 4%, all the way up to 10% or more. Only about 2% of respondents favored more than a 10% increase. At the time, President Bush was getting a lot of negative press for his Medicare “cuts.” I don’t recall the exact numbers, but I seem to recall that Bush proposed “cutting” the increase from roughly 11% to 9%. In another poll, people were asked if they favored Bush’s Medicare cuts, and about 2/3 disapproved. And yet only about 2% actually favored spending more than Bush, when confronted with actual numbers. Do you see the problem? The same problem applies to polls regarding higher taxes on the rich, versus questions about the appropriate top tax rate. People might say they favor higher taxes on the rich, but then advocate a 30% top rate (lower than today), when asked. Suppose you had three public opinion polls. The first asks whether military spending should be above or below $700 million. The second asks whether it should be above or below $700 billion, while the third asks if it should be above or below $700 trillion. My hunch is that the results of all three polls would be quite similar. I doubt that most people have even a clue as to the current level of military spending (close to $700 billion.) Readers of this blog probably know, but you are above average in knowledge of public affairs. So what do people “really believe”? There is no “really believe”. It’s a nearly meaningless concept. The only thing real is the lever they pull in the voting booth. 4. Democratic pundits often like to point to polls showing that “the public agrees with them”. Thus if you ask people if they want all sorts of free goodies like health care, day care, free college education, great infrastructure, etc., they tend to say yes. Dems often fail to mention that the public is less enthusiastic about the sorts of tax increases that would be required to pay for euro-style benefit programs. Recall the recent riots in France, partly motivated by a higher gas tax. To be meaningful, you’d have to sit Topeka voters down in a room with the Kansas state budget and tax revenues shown in a pie chart, tell them that the state constitution requires a balanced budget, and then ask them how much taxes they want to pay and where it should be spent. That’s what politicians actually do, but that’s not a question asked by pollsters. 5. Rather than being a stable parameter, public opinion is very fragile. Polls might show that most people believe X, but as soon as the issue rises to prominence and more information comes out, their views might shift radically. I often talk to people about the importance of allowing a market for kidneys. The first reaction is often negative, as people wonder if this approach would be biased against the poor. Some even fear the theft of kidneys from unwilling donors. It only takes me two minutes to convince them otherwise. The theft of kidneys occurs when there is a black market created by shortages. A market would actually help the poor because it would be cheaper for the US government to pay for kidney transplants for the poor than to continue supporting those with kidney disease under Medicaid. We’d save lives and money. Once you simply point out the facts, public opinion shifts quickly.
@All About Britain as far as what we believe and why, Christian doctrine isn't reliant on public opinion. It is reliant on scripture. Whether you believe it or not is up to you but we believe that it is God's word.
@Richard Fox besides the fact that God proves his word directly to us, his believers? Because that is crucial. God proves to us every day his word is true in our lives. Beyond that..... The question of which (if any) religious text is the true word of God is of utmost importance. the first question we must ask is: how would we know if God communicated in the first place? Well, God would have to communicate in a manner that people could understand, but that also means that people could make up their own messages and simply claim that they came from God. So, it seems reasonable to think that if God wanted to authenticate His communication He would have to verify it in a manner that could not be duplicated by mere humans - in other words, by miracles. This narrows the field considerably. Beyond the evidence for the Bible’s correctness (manuscript evidence) and its historicity (archeological evidence), the most important evidence is that of its inspiration. The real determination of the Bible’s claim to absolute inspired truth is in its supernatural evidence, including prophecy. God used prophets to speak and write down His Word and God uses miracles like fulfilled prophecy to authenticate His messengers. For example, in Genesis 12:7, God promises that the land of Israel was to be for Abraham and his descendants. In 1948 Israel was returned back to the Jewish people for the second time in history. This may not seem so astonishing until you realize that no nation in the history of the world has been scattered from its homeland and returned! Israel has done it twice. The book of Daniel predicts with accuracy the coming of the four great kingdoms from Babylon, to Medo-Persia, to Greece, to Rome centuries before some of those kingdoms came on the scene with details concerning how they would rule and be broken. This includes the reigns of Alexander the Great and Antiochus Epiphanies.
@Richard Fox In Ezekiel 26 we can see in astonishing detail how the city of Tyre was to be destroyed, how it would be torn down, and how its debris would be thrown into the sea. When Alexander the Great marched on that area, he encountered a group of people holed up in a tower on an island off the coast near there. He could not cross the sea, so he could not fight those in the tower. Rather than wait them out, the proud conqueror had his army throw stones into the sea to build a land bridge to the tower. It worked. His army crossed the sea and overthrew the occupants of the stronghold. But where did he get so much stone? The rocks that were used for the land bridge were the leftover rubble from the city of Tyre . . . its stones cast into the sea! There are so many prophecies concerning Christ (over 270!) that it would take more than a few screens worth of space to list them all. Further, Jesus would have had no control over many of them such as His birthplace or time of birth. Second, the odds of one man accidentally fulfilling even 16 of these are 1 in 10^45. How many is that? For comparison, there are less than 10^82 atoms in the entire universe! And Jesus, who affirmed the Bible as the Word of God, proved His reliability and deity by His resurrection (an historical fact not easily ignored)
I as a Christian believe the big bang "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" a more scientific translation "At the beginning of time God created space and matter" this is describing the big bang in great detail. In other words, God spoke and BANG it happened.
if God had created Universe 6,000 ys ago, light from distant stars wouldn't yet have arrived to our eyes to this day. So God must have created also the light which just SEEMS to have started from those stars at a time when they didn't yet exist. But why attribute to God such a deceitful behavior?
Deceitful to who? The people in the last hundred years that believe the universe is billions of years old? Is the speed of light the same now as during creation? Are the laws of physics the same now as they were when they were being created? When did time come into existence? When humans were eternal before the fall, why would time have existed as a dimension at all? Without time, would your question even be relevant? Would things have just "been"?

Yes, in essential, this can be detected with very distant star light going through hydrogen clouds and get polirized. "When did time come into existence?”"" Sometime during the plank epoch

First, the universe was not created through evolution, evolution is cumulative change of populations of organisms over time, decent of modification, it applies to biological processes, not cosmology, "geological evolution" is not a thing, the term is "accretion of earth", it is not evolutionary theorem, "cosmological evolution" is also wrong, the term is "cosmic expansion", naturalism is a philosophy, in which all processes that are observed are part of the natural world, Atheism is when a person or persons do not believe in a god or gods, the two are not connected, the person in this video is presenting a fallacy, he assumes there must be a god, therefore anything that sheds doubt on that claim is false, science is non biased, it is a methodology in which we observe, test and validate the natural world, religions don't do that, they are supernatural and cannot be tested, validated or confirmed, 98% of all scientists confirm the big bang theory, 99% confirm evolution, creationist "scientists" are biased and thus don't "believe", which is fine because scientific fact does not need belief, the god that is presented here is the same as the one in the Quran, Judaism, Israel and all Abrahamic religions, its called Yahweh, the term bible means "collection", which is exactly what it is, a collection of stories, poems and proverbs of time gone by, no truth to be found there, science is a method, it is "how" we discover things, there is no separation, "evolutionist" isn't a word, its a derogatory slang term used by creationists, the supporting theory around the moon's origin is that the young Earth collided with another planet, dubbed Theia, evidence of the Earth's tilt shows that the theory has validation, the Earth increased its overall size from early forming, we have evidence to support this theory too, Saturn's moons have salty oceans of liquid water and Europa's inner mantle is made up of liquid water, the Earth isn't the only place in the solar system, the Earth's ocean's wouldn't dry up or freeze entirely, they would coalesce underground, which is why water is found on other planets, the "Orion Nebula" is literally a group of stars forming 20 lightyears away, we have observed it and are still observing it, as for the big bang or cosmic expansion, we know this happened, "cosmic microwave background radiation" was discovered in the mid 1960's, it is the afterglow of the "big bang", we can measure that space is expanding, moving away from us, meaning that it must've come from a single point before expanding, like a balloon filling with gas, galaxy arms are not caused directly by gravity but from "density waves", that is the clusters of stars that are close to the core of the galaxy are pushing on the arms causing them to stretch out, the rest of this video is hate mongering on Atheists, not understanding what atheism is and then fear mongering his audience to "believe", even though he has blurted out the most ridiculous theist nonsense I've heard in a long time, heck a five minute google search completely disproved all of his points, the rest is just filler!
Cosmological/geological evolution is not the same as biological evolution The fist earth and universe is not alive and do not have offspring, for those the word evolution is only used as a synonym for "change". The guy have no idea what "atheism" is. OMG, his pulling the historical/observational science card.
Christians should not be afraid of Satan working against them. One of the most important verses about him is 1 John 4:4 which says, “You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” The Holy Spirit indwells believers (Romans 8:11), and because of the cross of Christ we are promised ultimate victory in Jesus and if we resist the devil he will flee from us (James 4:7).
This was beneficial as always. I have a question. When the Bible says God said and there was, do we interpret it in a way that means everything that exists just came into existence in a peco second or did God put processes in place for them to come into existence giving us the opportunity to see God's handiwork and ingenuity and his invisible attributes when we study the universe and everything He created so that we are without excuse?
@@frankcardano4142 just like the way your thoughts are manifested by speaking. There is a mind behind the words, you spoke those words and now I can see and understand something and I would have never been able to unless you spoke it. And now I have the joy and pleasure to interact with the mind and person who brought forth his thoughts. Everything you see in the universe around you is information. The Bible says in John1, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 1:1-3. And I find this stupendously fascinating because you understand that at the root of it all, is information. And it is only reasonable to infer that the information originated from a source external to itself. And this information originated from a being who is the Word and that is logos which is also the root of words like logic and rationale. This very logos spoke the information that was necessary to bring everything into existence and so it was. Hence why you see data everywhere you turn even when you study DNA. And it is the same Word that was manifest in the flesh and that is Jesus Christ who died for our sins so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Hence why we have The Bible, his word, so that we may come to fellowship with God who created the heavens and the earth having revealed himself through it. Everything at its core is word, logos, information. And just as His spoken word brought everything into existence, may His Word also bring you forth from darkness into light unto eternal life and only words of life can do that. The Word created, The Word died and rose again and is now seated at the right hand of God, and the Word gives you eternal life and sustains you. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 1 John 1:1 KJV
I believe Adam was created with a navel and that all things came into being with the complexity they have now. There was no winding up of the universe. It came into existence planets rotating, full expanse of space, gravity already extended or you would have effects just like an old motor coughing and shaking before starting to run cleanly.
@@frankcardano4142 the cheap answer is "because things do not come into existence by themselves". For everything that exists there needs to be a cause. If it exists here in the unverse. Except the universe, which is either unexplainable or has a cause outside of itself. There is no viable quantum field explanation.
@@frankcardano4142 wait! A mind that is outside of time, space, and matter, a living being who was manifest in the flesh cannot bring forth life, but stardust can? Stardust, a non living entity can bring about human beings let alone all the life around you? You have far greater problems when you remove your mind from the very thing that made it. Besides, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Since you cannot explain how you came from stardust, it is not much of an explanation any way. Also, being able to explain something is not the test of veracity of anything. If your mind is a chance product of purposeless, directionless, and mindless processes, why would you trust it? It is rather illogical to say that the universe is most certainly here, but it is a product of random processes of uncertainties.
the problem with the latter half of your question is that God exists outside of space and even TIME itself, having created those things as well. this is alluded to in Gen 1:1 "In the beginning" (of what, exactly?) and in vs. 1:5 it was clarified with "Evening came and then morning: the first day." if there was a first day, and it is clear that God created it as He did everything else, then He did so from outside of it - time itself. you could interpret that to mean He only created the illustration of the passage of time by creating light, and separating it from darkness, but these are vss. 3 and 4 respectively, so if that were true vs. 5 would be a redundancy. also, John 1:3 states that all things were created through Him, and even scientists consider time a thing, and have even observed that it is directly proportional to gravity. it is interesting that even if one followed the "big bang" you might have to conclude that time didn't spring into existence until the big bang, at which point gravity was near infinite and expanded from there, so time didn't *move* forward at all until the point of the big bang, hence it didn't exist previously, and was *created* with the bang. I don't want to get too far off topic with that, I certainly don't believe big bang, but there is a point to this I will mention later. so I realize that these verses are subject to interpretation, but a web search shows a number of other references, for example Jude 25 contains "...before all time..." so it would appear that even in Jude's day they believed there was a point (for lack of a better word) that existed before time began. so I'd say the answer to your question is the former - He spoke and it was, as it is written. I truly don't believe this in any way robs us of seeing His handiwork or ingenuity. it is clear there are mechanisms in place that hold and drive all of creation from the laws of physics to our DNA. so it stands to reason that a Supreme Being that created everything, which has to mean that it was from literal nothing, would need to exist outside of time (you would have to acknowledge this even if you believed He created everything through the big bang, as I mentioned with the relationship between time and gravity earlier.) so it follows logically (to me at least, maybe I'm flawed in my thinking) that such a Being would NOT actually need that time He just created in order to assemble all of these other created things together. now the problem with what I believe, is why did God do this over 6 days when He didn't need that time? that is a bit more complex and I'm not sure I understand it so I'll digress on that point, except to say two things: 1. that He did it in a certain order and paused, declaring along the way that what was just created was "good" and I think that is all significant. 2. resting on the 7th day is our first demonstration of the sabbath (because why would such a Being need to rest, who created the very time He would need to do so?), and I've both read and heard that this ultimately points to Christ as our sabbath, but that's a big topic I don't want to get into. hope that helps.
I don't get how they claim to know the great distance of the stars at light years. The only system we can track is the Alpha Centauries system at 4.4 Light Years. A distance we can track in the past 70 years. However, how do scientists claim to know galaxies that are thousands of light years away. How can you measure these distances be measured by theoretical 'red shifts' which again assumes we are at the center of the blue and red shifts to track stellar movements?! It would be like trying to use triangulation to estimate the distance of the moon from the Earth by using a triangle with a base only one inch long!!
Not only that, but even a GED. Math level like me, cannot believe that galaxies are 13.800 Millions of light-years away from the earth. How in the world 🌎 did those galaxies move that far in only 13.800 Million yrs.? Galaxies cannot move at the speed of light. Plus; they used to say 12.000 million yrs. Only about 50 yrs ago when I was a teenager. Today is 13.800 Million yrs. Only history illiterates would believe them.
Well, there are many, many things that are hard to understand or "to know". This does not mean that people who dedicate their lifes studying these topics are wrong. Allow me a bit of sarcasm to make my point: How can you produce a transistor of a few nano-meters in size? How could anybody even do that? That is just impossible! You might say that, well, the transistor is actually sitting on a chip inside your phone that you are holding in your hand and you can use your phone, ergo the transistor must exists. But do you really know? What do you REALLY know? Those scales are magic for anybody outside of those engineering processes... How can we manufacture something that is a billionth of a meter? This rethoric can be applied to anything... You see, my point is: Just questioning the methods does not really do anything or get you closer to the truth or understanding. Trying to understand the methods that those "who claim to know" apply will get one much further. And it can allow for real criticism of the methods that are worth criticising... Just some thoughts...
Neither of you answered the question. What's odd is that is a reasonable question. Can we use inch long triangulation to measure the distance of the moon? If we can, then the lightyear distance we think we know gains confidence, if we can't then where does our confidence come from? This is a very logical question, so to see only answers of dismissal is quite telling on ur knowledge of the matter and ur blind faith in what u believe.
@@vladtheemailer3223 time to learn, ?? 50 yrs ago, they said:" the universe was 12.000 million yrs old." Plus or a few hundreds. Today they say 13.8 MYO. So far, in the last 50 yrs. Somehow The universe aged 1.5 million years ✨️.

God spoke the World into existence, and just perhaps, He said, "BANG! Let there be life and light!!!" I'm being facetious and trying to be funny HAHAHA! Because truly I believe God was the Great Creator and He is the Only One who could create this big beautiful ball we all call home!!! "BANG!" And God said, "Let there be light, and there was light!"
Science : We try to do our best to explain the world/universe we live in with our current knowledge, knowing that we do not have the answers to everything and knowing that in the past we've made mistakes such as thinking the earth is at the center of our solar system. Our current THEORY of how the universe came into existence is at the moment just a theory and may be wrong, but it's the best we can do at present. In the future, a better, more complete theory may be proposed that will replace the big bang theory. Religion: We know what happened because it was written in a book by someone who heard voices in his head that said God did it all.
But you can't use science to avoid God. In that case you don't want to be honest and you don't want to think about God. Also, and more critical, without the God and His creation, you don't have nothing to research or investigate. Your own existence depens of Him. What's the problem about that?

@@samuelrodriguez9199 Well, to be fair, if you’re going to make a video that supposedly exposes the Big Bang Theory, it’d be nice to _actually_ address _all_ of the evidence of the Big Bang Theory and expose it. Explain why its incorrect or the conclusions drawn from the data are lacking, and actually address the damn data while doing so. He needs to form coherent, relevant, alternate explanations for all of that evidence, or why that evidence is better suited to the theory he is producing to replace the BBT. I guarantee you it’ll take far longer than a 24 minute video. He didn’t do any of that. Absolutely nothing in this exposes or even remotely threatens the BBT. Most of it was done from viewpoint of trying to frame it as an Evolutionary view with the bias of “naturalism,” when its primarily Cosmology, Physics and Astronomy. I suspect that the reason for that is that Dr. Mortenson isn’t qualified to speak on it. Which brings us to… The other very big problem that I’ve seen no one really address is that Dr. Mortenson has no background whatsoever in physics, cosmology, quantum mechanics, astrophysics, or any field related to _any_ of the data that is present in the BBT. His degree is in Historical Geology. Would you want a foot doctor advising you for heart surgery? He has no qualifications to “expose” anything at all related to the BBT. And to anyone with a degree of knowledge in these fields, his attempts at “exposing” the Big Bang was lackluster nonsense that didn’t actually address the BBT at all. One of the titles of the chapters was, “What is the origin of the solar system according to evolution?” Another was, “What is the origin of stars and galaxies according to evolution?” “What is the origin of the Universe according to evolution?” Evolution is a biological theory. It has absolutely nothing at all to do with the formation of the solar system, the stars and galaxies, or the Universe. You’re literally being programmed by these people. It’s so blatantly obvious. It is this kind of blatant dishonesty that AiG is known for by those “outside the flock.” It also makes for sad commentary that the viewers of the video didn’t pick up on some of the nonsense that even someone without knowledge of science should be able to spot. At the very least, notice that the moron telling these things is in no way qualified to talk on them. That very obvious fact that no one seems to notice tells me a great deal about the intelligence and degree of scrutiny and integrity of the majority here who blindly accept what someone is saying because its something you want to hear. At worst, you should be suspect. But no, there is applause and congratulations on this drivel by an unqualified shill because none of you have any knowledge in the related fields to know if he’s _actually_ telling you the Truth® or just feeding you science-sounding jargon to keep you in the flock, and you probably wouldn’t care anyway because you don’t want to lose your religion to anything as pedestrian as evidence against your understanding of it.
Excellent point, especially the remark about us being specks on this speck of a planet revolving around a tiny speck of a sun in a speck of a galaxy. Foolish to say we've figured it all out.

Perhaps an answer can be found in Isaiah 40:22-It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
"Perhaps an answer can be found in Isaiah 40:22-It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers," No, I can not see the connection, this is a vers flat earther use to say it is god's word that the earth is flat, " Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in." Yes, this is the vers that Christians, for 150 years ago, used as an evidence that the bible contain the divine wisdom of a steady state universe
I think the big bang theory fits perfectly with the Bible's description of the creation as "something from nothing." Both big bang & the Bible agree, in the beginning, the creation of the universe started with light (energy). Then the stars & planets, vegetation, animals, man. There is only one truth, one reality, and ultimately the Bible & Science will agree.
"I think the big bang theory fits perfectly with the Bible's description of the creation as "something from nothing." " Yes, and interestingly because of that it was critisized by some scientists back than who that, it is a theory made up by Christians (the main guy behind it was a catholic theologist) who were searching for a theory that matches with their belief. So it is funny when Christians critisize it. And it is funny how many creationists always use "How can something came from nothing?" as an argument , when Genesis actually describes exactly that.
@@sebastiannolte1201 Something can't come from nothing within the confines of physical reality (matter, energy, space, and time). But God, who transcends physical reality, brought it all into being, apparently at the Big Bang, which fits with Genesis 1:1. Yes, young earth creationists have it wrong and don't seem to realize that the Big Bang is in agreement with the Bible because both say there was a beginning, and thus, a Beginner.
@@therick363 dude all of creation points to God because Romans 1 states, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

@@therick363 1) God’s word counts as evidence because it is The reliable source. 2 Peter states, “For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain. We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” 2 Peter 1:16-21 NIV You can’t just discard God’s word because you don’t feel like it’s reliable. 2) prove that all of creation doesn’t point to God. “The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.” Psalms 14:1 NIV

@@therick363 Here’s the proof that the Bible is God’s word. John 1 states, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” John 1:1, 3 NIV Colossians 1 states, “The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.” Colossians 1:15-17 NIV So basically God created everything (visible and invisible) which is why we have things such as the laws of nature and math that exist but aren’t made up of matter or energy and didn’t come about by natural processes And why all of creation points towards God But without someone extremely important we wouldn’t be able to tell who the real God is Which is where Jesus comes in Matthew 22 states, “While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?” “The son of David,” they replied. He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says, “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.” ’ If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.” Matthew 22:41-46 NIV Here, Jesus is claiming to be God, the same God as the God in the Bible Luke 24 states, “‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ” Luke 24:7 NIV Here, Jesus is saying that he’s going to be crucified and then conquer death and come back to life 3 days later, only God can conquer death Acts 5 states, “The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead-whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”” Acts 5:30-32 NIV Jesus claimed to be God (the God of the Bible ) and then proved that he was who he said he was by conquering death and rising from the dead 3 days after he was crucified By coming to earth and doing this he confirmed that God is real and he is the God of the Bible. thus making the Bible God’s word and proving it to be true. And we know that these events actually happened because there were many eyewitnesses to them, that recorded what happened in historical documents and eyewitness accounts. Carefully READ everything I just wrote before you decided to say something Hopefully this answers your question on how we know the Bible is God’s word.

So I don’t even believe in the copernican universe model because of Genesis 1. As we have been lied to about every other aspect of pseudo science I believe that model is also completely false.
I think similarly to you. I think earth is fixed with no daily rotation or annual solar orbit. I also think earth to be placed by our Creator at the centre of the cosmos. P.S. But I don't believe earth to be flat but spherical.
There is nothing in Genesis 1 that contradicts the Copernican model. And your statement that you've been lied to about "every other aspect of pseudo science" is a belief, not fact.

According to Psalm 14 the “fool” denies the existence of God; elsewhere in the same book the term describes one who insults his or her Creator continually (74:22). The prophet Isaiah employed the word of the individual who stands in contrast to a noble-minded person (32:5). We can find in the Bible a lot of expressions that represent hostility towards God but the expression “there is no God” occurs only twice. To argue that an incredibly complex and obviously designed universe and everything within it comes from naturalistic processes reveals a truly “senseless heart” (Rom. 1:21). At its root, atheism not an intellectual problem as is commonly thought in our day. Rather, the folly of atheism is rooted in a determined trajectory of autonomy that seeks to live life on our own terms and to resist the self-revelation of God’s presence and character in the world. Belief in a divine Being is accompanied by a sense of accountability to that Being. So, to escape the condemnation of conscience, which itself was created by God, some simply deny the existence of God. They tell themselves, “There is no overseer of the world. There is no Judgment Day. I can live as I please.” The moral pull of the conscience is thus more easily ignored.
15:00 humans think they are a lot smarter than they are. They think they know more than they know. Humans will never be able to reach the intellectual level of the Almighty God but it's funny to sit there and watch them think they are.
@All About Britain actually there is nothing wrong with Genesis 1 and 2. God created all things. The fact that you deny that is testimony to the truth of the rest of the bible. God gives us all a choice and if you refuse to believe it, he will not force you to.
@Richard Fox people aren't led away from the truth because of the truth of the Bible. People are LED away from the truth because they refuse to accept it. If you don't want to believe it that's on you. You choose to believe man's word over God's and so you will have to accept those consequences.

@@spoddie So mortenson is correct in your eyes or did I just misread your comment? What I found the whole concept of godless creation is fake, the BB, abiogenesis and evolution is just dillusion backed up by radiometric dating which is not foolproof, I also thought evolution was possible when I was younger. Today I trust God who was there and cannot lie, a real God who cannot die, can not be controlled does not need to lie as you either believe him or not, if not then God will turn his back to you and you are alone.
@@technicianbis5250-ig1zd The mistake is that belief in God directs your understanding of science. This video is full of misinformation. What Dr Mortenson is preaching is a complete misrepresentation of science and the sad thing is he is most likely quite aware of it.

You mentioned radiometric dating, well if you wanted to know about the concept of deep time you could easily find out how we understand the vastness of space and time, but instead you listen to a man who knows full well he is lying. If your faith leads you to refute hard hard facts, then I'd claim it is very dangerous.
Kudos to the editor; not to take away from the amazing message. The editing was amazing. The message equally amazing. I really believe some people do not want to think in terms of "control". The same people cannot handle someone having this control. I am thankful just to be alive and so should you! You and I are not in control of the fact that we are both alive. We were created not because we were needed but because we were wanted. How beautiful is that? I don't need you but I want you. To hear those words. On the flip side if I was to believe I exist due to random chance within a perfect balance to sustain life without reason and therefore without hope to continue my existence is just depressing. No way. Why do we need a climax during sex which produces life? Why do we have food taste so amazing? Why do we see in color and the complexity of textures? For just survival we don't need these things that look, taste, smell and feel good. The One who made us wanted us to enjoy what was made. The one who made you also loves you. I hope you enjoy this life enough to want to live for eternity. Jesus is the door to eternity.

I do, you do, Babybird does. We all do, and God loves us anyways. In fact God loves us so much, that he sent his son, Jesus, to die on the cross, paying the price we should've paid for sin. And it is by this and God's amazing grace that people like you and I can be saved and live in heaven happily together. All we have to do is change our mindset about sin and trust in Jesus Christ.

Einsteins theory of gravitation states that gravity is caused by matter where Stephen Hawking says that matter is caused by gravity. This is circular since both can't be true.
My view of why the earth was made in 4.5 billion years and not 7 days is because God lives on a higher level of reality. As well, he is not affected by time space or matter making me believe that his 7 days are equivalent to 4.5 billion years to us, its also probably why he’s all knowing since he travels faster in time
Also, for a universe to be flat wouldn't that mean that it is quite possibly a different distance in width than in length or depth? Also, it would likely not be uniform in it's parameters if, in fact, it happened naturally. That being the likely case (seeing as, according to the theory it was an accidental, natural occurrence) how does that affect the CMB measurements? Also, if the universe is flat, making the big bang theory implausible, they would have to redetermine the origins of CMB, right? If there was no large explosion that started everything then we can't say that CMB were a direct result of that, right?

The real lie is the belief that "going to heaven" solves anything. One, traditional Christian theology shows that sin *_ORIGINATED_* in heaven when satan rebelled against god. Given this precedent in plain sight, what keeps outbreaks of sin in heaven from happening again? Specifically, what keeps a redeemed Christian from going to heaven and then rebelling against god? And two, souls *_CANNOT POSSIBLY_* be "immortal," because that belief conflicts with god's omnipotence. Does god have the power to destroy souls?
The whole purpose for us humans is to live a difficult life on Earth with a blind faith in God. If we can do so, then it will be no problem to live for God in our upgraded bodies and conditions. The angels also have been purged, with a third of them rebelling. All this rebellion is a necessary consequence of free will. But you have to break some eggs to make an omelet. Check out Revelation 21. It will work out.
Well, you are right in your 2nd point. Immortality means that there is not a begining or an end. Souls are not immortal. Genesis 2:7 says that God took the dust of the earth, breathed into it the breath of life, and man BECAME a living being. Death is not the opposite of life, it is the absence if life.
However you are wrong in your first point. The 7,000 years of time we gave been given foe the plan of salvation to play out (6,000 years on earth, 1,000 years in heaven, whereafter the new Jerusalem comes back to earth to finally deal with sin in the 2nd resurrection of those who did not choose him - search "second death" and then read Revelation 20:6) we do not remain in heaven, we inherit the renewed earth, where sin will no longer raise its head.
Atheism isnt a worldview..... So many problems with this lecture. The main one being starting with a worldview and making presupposed conclusions based on that worldview
Starting with a worldview and making presupposed conclusions based on that worldview YES I agree with you on that point 💯 but please explain to me in what way that is any different in what atheist evolutionists believe and teach? Because if you can't do this then you are being hypocritical about pointing this out
@@jameslowry1 The biggest difference being that the theory evolution, along with all scientific theories is subject to change and revision based on new evidence and information and doesnt start with a conclusion and work backwards as the biblical world view does. A huge problem arises when you start with a predisposed position as people tend to warp change evidence until it fits within there world view. This is why the scientific method is so effective and thus far the best method we have developed for discovering truths about the natural world
It is a world view. Atheists literally view the world as if there is no God. Theists view the world the opposite way. It's like ur saying left isn't a direction, but right is.
@@arcguardian NO I am not saying that as all I am trying to point out to you (and this is all about historical science not operational science) because operational science is all about repeatable experiments performed in the present whereas Historical science is all based about guesses about what happened in the past especially if you weren't there to witness them which is why I question any events that happened in the past especially the remote of thousands of years ago or even millions of years ago (although don't believe the heavens and earth is that old) so if you are arguing with me about operational science then there is no argument because that can tested by anyone and found true nobody can argue with that but if on the other hand you are arguing with me about Historical science that is about events that happened in the remote past then we are going to have problems especially since neither the two of us existed thousands of years ago so all we can go on is historical documents that all have to br taken on faith that they are authentic but what would make this even more of a problem is if you believe that both historical and operational science are the same thing or equally valid which is if this the case then I have nothing more to say to you as I believe it would be a waste of my time

I think it’s lot quite the aspect of what created but how it happened for most younger people on origins of the universe. And I know a lot of people look at me with confusion saying ‘There’s no way one being created the entire universe that sounds like a fantasy.’ At first I believed evolutionary origins because thats what I was raised up in with school. But now I find that explanation shallow based on assumptions and ideals but no real evidence. I find myself seeking a higher knowledge where truth is laid to hopefully find completion especially to gods word.
If you were taught that the universe has evolutionary origins then your education failed you or you simply went paying attention. I've read your comments. You weren't paying attention. Evolution has absolutely nothing to do with the Big Bang aka the origin of the universe. You need a education. Evolution describes the diversity of living species on this planet. None of that has anything to do with the origins of the universe 🤪

Wow, really, he comes up with this "Earth has the perfect distance" nonsense? How can people really think like that? If the sun was the only star in the entire universe and the earth would be the only planet, then we could use that argument. But we have several planets in our solar system - that increases the probabilty that one of them has the correct distance for liquid water. But more imporant: There are billions of stars in our universe. So probably billions of planets. So how should it be special that at least one of them has the requirments for life? The more you have, the higher are the chances. When you throw a dice once and you have a six, then you have luck and it is more special. But when you try it 100 times, then it is absolutly not special, that there will be at least one six among it. I guess it is also has to do that people feel special because they are on this rare earth. But that is of course also nonsense. Imagine there is a lottery and all seven billion people on earth take part - and there is only one winning ticket, all others lose. And you are the winner! What do you think? "Wow, the chance was 1:7000000000 and I won! How is that possible! Amazing! Must be a sign of God!" Ehm - no. The chance, that SOMEBODY will win was 100%. So there is NOTHING special about it, that somebody wins. He just think it is special from his point of view, but not when you look at at from the outside. Which means for the earth: It is nothing special that there is a planet in the universe that supports life. You only feel special that you live on this planet, but it is not. You would just not exist on this planet, if it would not support life.

@@BernardGoonting hey sorry for the long wait on a reply but i wanted to point out that nothing in atheism says that the universe created itself and im not actually sure what youre referring to in general as the only people who make those kinds of claims are Creationists setting up a strawman argument.
A lack of evidence of God’s existence is not the true reason atheists reject a belief in God. Their rejection is due to a desire to live free of the moral constraints God requires and to escape the guilt that accompanies the violation of those constraints. The statement "there is no God" in reality, is not a literal denial of the existence of God (or of gods), but a description of the wicked, who live and behave as though God takes no notice of human behavior. The respective contexts of Psalms 10, 14, and 53 support this interpretation. For since the creation of the world His [God’s] invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools (Romans 1:20-22). Atheism is irrational. It’s not a system that satisfies the intellect. You can never be sure that there is no God. It assumes a kind of knowledge that the human mind simply does not have. David is right! Only a fool would be satisfied with the claim that there is no God. Atheism is, in short, not so much an intellectual choice, as it is a moral choice. In a larger sense, we are all biblical fools, even though we have not publicly aligned ourselves with the atheist. We are “fools” when we live and act as if there is no God. We live as functional atheists when we fail to seek God and to live righteously. But this psalm calls us back afresh to the company of the righteous and back to the great moral framework of the universe. Only in this company will salvation and joy be finally ours. It is the resurrected Christ and the empty tomb, which alone, washes us all of our “foolishness” and sets our feet firmly with Christ in the way of the righteous.
@Just me the bible actually reveals the intentions of the heart. God is omnipresent and omniscient so yes, he knows more about you than you know about yourself. In fact, he knows the day you were born and the day you will die. He knows how many hairs are on your head and he knows what each day will bring you, your entire life.
@Just me God knows what would convince you? He knows what should convince you and he also knows that like every other human on earth, you are hindered by sin from believing it.

Why your god, and not someone else's? Lots of peoples have creation stories. Why is yours the right one, and theirs not? By the way, there's more than one creation story in Genesis. Which of those do you believe?
The God of Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac is the one true living God. Why he is the real God? Example 1: Buddha Buddha died after eating a poisonous mushroom. If you are a god, how can you let yourself die because you ate a poisonous mushroom? Isn't it stupid? Example 2: Hinduism Hindus worship rats and cows for example. Why would someone worship something that's not even aware of what's right or wrong? I can go and provide a lot of examples if you want. My God is intelligent, just, loving, and he is the source of life.
"Nature or matter is all that exists" is not an assumption. It's a tentative conclusion based on evidence. As soon as christians show that god is something other than a figment of their imagination, the current scientific understanding will change.
@@sulpicius7602 It's a conclusion based not on evidence, but on the assumption that seeing is believing. It all goes back to a simple rejection of God. You've conflated _evidence_ with _proof._ A dog turd in your front yard is evidence of the presence of a dog, but it isn't proof; that alone doesn't eliminate the unlikely notion that it's evidence that it was placed there by another person. The very existence and complexity of every little thing is evidence of God; but since evidence isn't proof, you've chosen to believe the unlikely notion that intelligent design came from random chaos for the simple reason that you have predetermined to reject God. Everything leaves evidence, and many things leave the same or similar evidence as each other. A pile of rubble is evidence that a building was demolished; it's also evidence that a building collapsed; it's also evidence that a construction crew threw all their scrap into a pile. It doesn't prove any of this; proofs are made up of multiple evidences that eliminate all other possibilities. Scientific theories require rigorous proofs, but hypotheses don't. Show me a rigorous proof for evolution and I'll show you a rigorous proof that 1 = 2.

They are clearly (and condescendingly) framed with the obvious intention of impregnating your critical filters with biases. Any statement rooted in the truth does not need to rely on such manipulative delivery.
@@kevinrtres scientists have conducted many experiments in pursuit of understanding the origin of life. At least a few experiments have successfully shown that the fundamental building blocks for life can be produced when the right elements and chemicals find themselves in the right conditions. Eventually amino acids came into being, thus allowing proteins to form. While the ingredients of our earth were coalescing during it’s many formative stages, it was only a matter of time before the primordial soup with just the right ingredients would occur. Eventually that soup would get just the right dose of sunlight, perhaps even stimulated by geothermal influence or lightning strikes. Time passes, RNA is produced… Time passes, single cell organisms are born… Time passes, multicellular life is achieved… so on and so forth… Now, if one of your responses to this is, “Most of that is speculation. Scientists still don’t actually know the answer.” …. Or something to that effect…. My response is this: It seems to me, those who subscribe to the intelligent design argument, often go out of their way to misunderstand what science is trying to say to them. When scientists give a theoretical example, and say that they don’t know the answer yet, they are saying they do not know the EXACT answer. That is what scientists do, they will tell you they do not know what they do not know. In a case such as understanding life’s origin, they DO have enough knowledge to be certain they are going in the right direction. They have enough knowledge to know that it wasn’t sky daddy doing a magic trick to make Pinocchio a real boy and then make a woman out of his rib. I think it’s interesting to point out, by the way, that my comment was meant to point out the condescending nature of the speaker’s delivery. He’s obviously conflating vernacular to deliberately lead those Who are eager to agree with him. It’s strange to me that they don’t hear the way he is talking down to them. He clearly feels as though he occupies a higher state then those to whom he is speaking. In response to that, your challenge is to pick one of the topics off the shelf that science hasn’t got figured out yet so you can say, ah ha!! You see you there… You nerds aren’t so smart after all!! Well, that’s just par for the course when dealing with people of “faith.” I think religion is just fine. I think human beings are prone to fill in gaps The best they can. I just start getting tired of Christians when I run into his hardheaded and narrow minded, determination to be intellectually shortsighted. Why can’t God be challenged? Why can’t that ridiculous book be challenged? Because God said so? Isn’t he supposed to be awesome? He can’t handle a little criticism? I think almost every civilized adult knows to expect a little criticism once in a while. The sky daddy doesn’t like it when we backtalk him. He sounds like an insecure character to me. Who does that sound like? Humans!! Humans are insecure!! The reason god has the same petty character as a man is because he is a man. Man wrote that character into existence and in the process, endowed him their own elements. Think about it… we are made in gods image? Why does God need a nose or eyelashes? Does God need toenails or genitalia? Does god have that little thing that dangles in the back of your mouth?
@@gooseneckwjdyoung8028 I find your composition quite hilarious! Did you perhaps spend some time listening to D r J A M E S T o u r talking about the dilemmas for abiogenesis? If not then please do take some time to listen and then come tell me again about the fairy tale you've spun here. As for Christians being hardheaded and narrow minded - you've got that exactly right - Jesus said narrow is the way and small is the gate that leads to life and few that are that find it. I am as narrow minded as one can get - and I can boast in what Jesus said. You can criticize God all you want - it doesn't make one iota of a difference because He has already decreed that the only way into His presence is via an absolutely sinless life. Not even the smallest lie or disobedience to parents or stealing a small thing or coveting another person's possessions or lusting sexually in your heart/mind or being so angry at someone else as to hate them ( Jesus called that the same as murder ) - if you've committed any of these you have rejected God and declared yourself to be His enemy. The only way back is by accepting that Jesus paid the penalty for your sins on the cross and that if you surrender to that then you'll be credited with the sinless life of Jesus Himself so that you'll be acceptable to God. There is no other way. All the criticism and ranting will be of no avail - God has made a decree and one can only accept it or reject it. By default all human beings ( except Jesus Himself ) has rejected it and hence they are doomed - until they submit to GOD's way of doing things.
@@kevinrtres Alrighty… you’ve given me quite a lot to respond to here. I appreciate and want to thank you for your passionate investment in this blossoming discussion. I looked up Dr. James Tour. I will admit that I haven’t yet given him what I could honestly consider a fair amount of time to hear his argument. I got a bit antsy about coming back to respond as soon as I recognized something familiar in the way he structures his argument. Perhaps in my haste, I’ve exposed myself to risk of having to stand corrected after I’ve heard more of his message. I noticed that while he’s smart enough to pretend like he’s not implying intelligent design is the likely answer. He’s essentially barfing up the same tactic that every straight and narrow drone uses to protect his faith from the threat of critical objectivity. He delivers the technical details of just how gosh darn complicated living cells are and there’s just no way they could have come into being through natural processes… so on and so forth… Funny you should mention fairytales. That is precious coming from a guy who is dedicated to making a good impression on the absent father of his imaginary friend. Have you actually read that goofy book? This “god” you are such a fan of is a monster. Almost everything about him is awful. If your god was a human being, he would be considered a terrible person! I have so many questions. We’ll start with one and see where it goes. Why did he basically r ape Joseph’s 14 year old virgin wife? Couldn’t he have blessed some good natured widow with his devine bundle of joy?
@@gooseneckwjdyoung8028 You are mistaken if you think Dr Tour is just another intelligent design person. He challenges you with real, working science - see if you can overturn it with real, working science yourself. Don't just throw out the baby with the bathwater because of your own bias. You can even talk to him yourself if your think he is just talking thru his neck - he invites you to have a zoom session with him. Go on, speak to him yourself - just be ready to tell him where and why his science is wrong if you insist on rejecting his talks. As for God "raping" Mary, you seem to neglect the fact that He *_is GOD!_* and He can do whatever He pleases and that HE is not subject to anyone's rules - so your abject attempt at using human morals to judge the one who created truth is like claiming you invented water after you've managed to put a drop back into the ocean. Besides which, Jesus is *_THE_* greatest gift to mankind - so just who wouldn't want to be the receiver of that gift?
Romans 16:17-18 -I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.- For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
I hope you realize, or I want you to realize, "the doctrine you have been taught" is the Gospel. The antichrist heresy this video fights against is exactly what your verse is talkung about.
@@madddog7 no, I get it fine. It’s basically the organizers of the religion saying to shun people who think differently (critically). It’s basically an ancient form of an echo chamber and groupthink.

It’s amazing to look up on a starry clear night, but even a 10x45 pair of decent binoculars is a huge step up from the naked eye- with the general purpose bins, you can see the moons of Jupiter like tiny diamonds, and get an inkling of the vast depth of space when a blurry faint patch becomes the mass of stars of the Pleiades
I picked up cheap one second hand nd purchased a decent eyepiece for aa couple of hundred dollars. Lenses with very wide field of views are now affordable and make viewing much easier. Astronomy can be very expensive but it doesn't have to be. I find it so amazing to look at Jupiter and it's moons live in real time. Seeing pictures form NASA may be extremely awesome but seeing it live even though small and with less detail it is far more amazing to me to. I see the cosmos and see the beauty of Gods creation and the wonder o f it and the universe now seems small in comparison to God.
Sometimes it's ok to admit "I just don't know." No one knows we'll probably never know. Is that a scary thought? Maybe... but once you except it, it's a whole lot more freeing and humbling thing.

“Why is a fool atheist?”
“A fool says in his heart: There is no God” (Psa 14:1), but he doesn’t say what his motivation is for this statement.
First of all, we have to eliminate the idea that there is no reason for his statement. The expression “to say in heart” in Hebrew means not only “to think” but also “to deliberate or to reflect”. The statement of the fool wasn’t a mindless slogan but the fruit of reflection. Taking this into consideration, we propose at least three ways to find out the reasons for such strong rejection of God.
First, a fool is an atheist because of his unpunished crime. A fool saw people committing several crimes without being punished. If God existed, he would not allow evil to exist. Similar logic can be found in Psalm 10, when the Psalmist is asking God:
Why do the wicked renounce God, and say in their hearts, "You will not call us to account"? (Psa 10:13).
Second, a fool is atheist because of the corruption of the fools. The fools see that God doesn’t punish them for their sins, so they continue to walk on the way of evil. After the statement “there is no God”, the Psalmists speaks about the description of their conduct:
“They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is no one who does good. (Psa 14:1)”.
Both the first and the second explanation suit the Targum of Psalms that paraphrases our passage: “There is no rule of God on the earth".
Third, a fool is atheist because of wrong theology. Why does the fool reject God? Because he has the wrong idea about God. The theology preceded the atheism. What kind of theology is atheism? The fool saw the incompatibility of the notion of God and reality. If he didn’t know God as the Supreme Judge, he would not reject him on grounds that God does not punish the evil. If he didn’t know that God takes care of the poor, he would not reject him seeing the poor devoured by the enemies. (Psa 14:4). It’s really interesting that the fool sees the incompatibility of the notion of God and reality and doesn’t reject the way of thinking about God. Instead, the fool prefers to reject God than to change his theology.
So, “Why is a fool atheist?”
Because in the test of theology, he prefers to reject the God he knows, than to search for the unknown God.
Atheists foolishly reject the notion that a Designer should preclude a design.
Have you ever researched to find out as to what have been some of the most complex or complicated machines or devices that man has ever built to date.
One of these complex machines was the Airbus A380. In order to build just ONE Airbus A380 this single aircraft requires about 4 million parts, with .5 million part numbers produced by 1500 companies from 30 countries around the world.
There is also the large Hadron Collider. It is the most expensive and complex machine ever built. The LHC was built in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries, as well as hundreds of universities & laboratories. The LHC is the largest single machine in the world which lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17mi) in circumference, as deep as 175 metres (574ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland.
The majority of people, myself included, probably do not know or understand the precise complexities or the effort of the intelligent people and minds that had to work together in order to design & build such massive & complex machinery.
The Airbus A380 was intelligently & deliberately designed by intelligent minds & each of the 4 million parts that make that aircraft have a specific purpose in the make-up & design of that plane.
The LHC too - as complex as it is, was intelligently & deliberately designed through the cooperation of over 10,000 intelligent minds who come from over 100 countries.
Now - if we were to use the same thought process or the same thought pattern that the atheist uses in relation to creation, it would be very easy to understand why atheism is extremely foolish and why atheists are regarded as being fools by God. Somehow, the atheist cannot appreciate the complexity but yet harmonious aspects of nature or the universe and come to the conclusion that there is a vastly superior Being behind creation. They cannot appreciate just the complexity and wonders of the human body but yet foolishly come to a poor conclusion that the human body and human existence as a result is just one big accident.
Albert Einstein was quoted as saying “The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in a position of the little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws but we understand the laws only dimly"
However, many atheists are not fools

My teacher was teaching a secular world view. When I was watching an episode with the whole class, "Cosmos". Me knowing the truth, the Word of God in 2023. I was blinded by the enemy and God opened my eyes.
Genesis 1:1-5 NKJV - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

“35-Million-Year-Old” Mayfly Looks Astonishingly Like a Mayfly"

Okay, that might not seem like very big news. From a biblical standpoint, of course mayflies look like mayflies (and they aren’t 35 million years old anyway!). But for those who interpret the evidence with the evolutionary worldview, we have to ask: why are so many of the creatures scientists find preserved in amber virtually identical to their modern-day counterparts? (Consider, for example, mosquitoes filled with blood that look identical to modern mosquitos, tardigrades that remained tardigrades, plant mites that look like plant mites, and frogs that look like frogs.)

the big Bang wasn´t an explosion
That's Genesis 1:1. Big Bang cosmology necessitates a beginning. A beginning necessitates a Beginner! Science (the real kind) doesn't know with certainty how God did it all, only that without any intervention from God, this is our best understanding and it's subject to revision as new data emerges.
The Big Bang cannot be fact as the Earth was created first. The sun, moon and stars appeared days later.
Hey All,
Facts are necessary in life, but the truth brings life. Although the interest in how everything began is important and fun to know, it's not the biggest priority in life. The truth is. And when you know it, it sets you free. Christ Jesus is the truth. It's about you choosing to believe Him as the Messiah and Son of God, who was also God in the flesh. Knowing about the origins of our existence is absolutely pertinent, but do you know Jesus and how much He loves you and desire you to know Him? He wants you free from worry, anxiety, fear, depression, offence, and many life draining things, BUT you must believe in Him eventhough you can't see or feel Him. It's a leap of faith! Lastly, as someone once told me, you will always have another question after another. So have faith in the truth of Jesus.

Your real gripe is with the very existence of God; not with citing Him as the authority. Anybody could tell you that God is infinitely more wise and powerful than all mankind combined. Why, isn't that implicit in the definition of the word _god?_ Nobody who trusts even only that such a God exists would dare doubt His word. Your gripe is with God's existence, not His authority.

Yes, Satan, the devil, is real. The word “Satan” comes from Hebrew which literally means “adversary.” The first mention of the term Satan is found in the book of Job 1-2 (adversary of Job), which is one of the oldest books in the Bible. Satan is also found in Zechariah 3:1-2 (accusing Joshua the High Priest) and 1 Chron. 21:1 (moving David to number Israel). Satan is the leader of the evil forces. He is known as Lucifer, which is the name of the fallen Angel who opposes God and mankind. He is also known as Beelzubul, the evil one, and the devil. So, yes, the devil is real.
Most of the information about Satan comes from the New Testament where he is also known as the devil (Greek, diabolos). Satan seeks to undo the work of God (Mark 4:15) and cause evil (John 13:2, 27). He is the father of lies (John 8:44) and the deceiver (Revelation 12:9). He can disguise himself as an angel of light (2 Cor.11:14), use various schemes to deceive people (2 Cor. 2:11), tempt (1 Cor. 7:5), misquote Scripture to induce people to sin (Matt. 4:6), can make people sick (Luke 13:16), take away the good seed of God’s word (Mark 4:15), and hinder missionary work (1 Thess. 2:18). However, Satan, along with all the demonic forces, has been judged (John 16:11) and faces a future judgment where he will be cast into hell (Matt. 25:41; Rev. 20:10).

4. Budget constraints
5. Fragility
I’ll take them in order, starting with two obvious points (for completeness):
1. People like to look good. They are prone to answer questions from pollsters in ways that make them look good. There’s the famous “Bradley effect” where California voters were reluctant to tell pollsters that they did not intend to vote for the African-American candidate. I wonder if that wasn’t also a part of Trump’s surprise win?
2. Poll results depend on the way a question is worded. Consider a poll question that asked, “If you found out that a candidate was pro-abortion, would you be more likely to vote for them?” How about if the wording were changed from anti-abortion to pro-choice? Which question will get more “yes” responses? Admittedly, those aren’t exactly the same poll question, but my point is that survey questions are often worded in loaded ways, and that this affects the results.
I believe the next three are bit less obvious:
3. I recall an interesting set of polls back around 1990. People were asked what rate of increase in Medicare spending was appropriate, starting with 0% to 2%, then 2% to 4%, all the way up to 10% or more. Only about 2% of respondents favored more than a 10% increase. At the time, President Bush was getting a lot of negative press for his Medicare “cuts.” I don’t recall the exact numbers, but I seem to recall that Bush proposed “cutting” the increase from roughly 11% to 9%. In another poll, people were asked if they favored Bush’s Medicare cuts, and about 2/3 disapproved. And yet only about 2% actually favored spending more than Bush, when confronted with actual numbers. Do you see the problem? The same problem applies to polls regarding higher taxes on the rich, versus questions about the appropriate top tax rate. People might say they favor higher taxes on the rich, but then advocate a 30% top rate (lower than today), when asked.
Suppose you had three public opinion polls. The first asks whether military spending should be above or below $700 million. The second asks whether it should be above or below $700 billion, while the third asks if it should be above or below $700 trillion. My hunch is that the results of all three polls would be quite similar. I doubt that most people have even a clue as to the current level of military spending (close to $700 billion.) Readers of this blog probably know, but you are above average in knowledge of public affairs.
So what do people “really believe”? There is no “really believe”. It’s a nearly meaningless concept. The only thing real is the lever they pull in the voting booth.
4. Democratic pundits often like to point to polls showing that “the public agrees with them”. Thus if you ask people if they want all sorts of free goodies like health care, day care, free college education, great infrastructure, etc., they tend to say yes. Dems often fail to mention that the public is less enthusiastic about the sorts of tax increases that would be required to pay for euro-style benefit programs. Recall the recent riots in France, partly motivated by a higher gas tax.
To be meaningful, you’d have to sit Topeka voters down in a room with the Kansas state budget and tax revenues shown in a pie chart, tell them that the state constitution requires a balanced budget, and then ask them how much taxes they want to pay and where it should be spent. That’s what politicians actually do, but that’s not a question asked by pollsters.
5. Rather than being a stable parameter, public opinion is very fragile. Polls might show that most people believe X, but as soon as the issue rises to prominence and more information comes out, their views might shift radically. I often talk to people about the importance of allowing a market for kidneys. The first reaction is often negative, as people wonder if this approach would be biased against the poor. Some even fear the theft of kidneys from unwilling donors. It only takes me two minutes to convince them otherwise. The theft of kidneys occurs when there is a black market created by shortages. A market would actually help the poor because it would be cheaper for the US government to pay for kidney transplants for the poor than to continue supporting those with kidney disease under Medicaid. We’d save lives and money. Once you simply point out the facts, public opinion shifts quickly.
@All About Britain as far as what we believe and why, Christian doctrine isn't reliant on public opinion. It is reliant on scripture. Whether you believe it or not is up to you but we believe that it is God's word.
@Richard Fox besides the fact that God proves his word directly to us, his believers? Because that is crucial. God proves to us every day his word is true in our lives.
Beyond that.....
The question of which (if any) religious text is the true word of God is of utmost importance. the first question we must ask is: how would we know if God communicated in the first place? Well, God would have to communicate in a manner that people could understand, but that also means that people could make up their own messages and simply claim that they came from God. So, it seems reasonable to think that if God wanted to authenticate His communication He would have to verify it in a manner that could not be duplicated by mere humans - in other words, by miracles. This narrows the field considerably.
Beyond the evidence for the Bible’s correctness (manuscript evidence) and its historicity (archeological evidence), the most important evidence is that of its inspiration. The real determination of the Bible’s claim to absolute inspired truth is in its supernatural evidence, including prophecy. God used prophets to speak and write down His Word and God uses miracles like fulfilled prophecy to authenticate His messengers. For example, in Genesis 12:7, God promises that the land of Israel was to be for Abraham and his descendants. In 1948 Israel was returned back to the Jewish people for the second time in history. This may not seem so astonishing until you realize that no nation in the history of the world has been scattered from its homeland and returned! Israel has done it twice. The book of Daniel predicts with accuracy the coming of the four great kingdoms from Babylon, to Medo-Persia, to Greece, to Rome centuries before some of those kingdoms came on the scene with details concerning how they would rule and be broken. This includes the reigns of Alexander the Great and Antiochus Epiphanies.
@Richard Fox In Ezekiel 26 we can see in astonishing detail how the city of Tyre was to be destroyed, how it would be torn down, and how its debris would be thrown into the sea. When Alexander the Great marched on that area, he encountered a group of people holed up in a tower on an island off the coast near there. He could not cross the sea, so he could not fight those in the tower. Rather than wait them out, the proud conqueror had his army throw stones into the sea to build a land bridge to the tower. It worked. His army crossed the sea and overthrew the occupants of the stronghold. But where did he get so much stone? The rocks that were used for the land bridge were the leftover rubble from the city of Tyre . . . its stones cast into the sea!
There are so many prophecies concerning Christ (over 270!) that it would take more than a few screens worth of space to list them all. Further, Jesus would have had no control over many of them such as His birthplace or time of birth. Second, the odds of one man accidentally fulfilling even 16 of these are 1 in 10^45. How many is that? For comparison, there are less than 10^82 atoms in the entire universe! And Jesus, who affirmed the Bible as the Word of God, proved His reliability and deity by His resurrection (an historical fact not easily ignored)
I as a Christian believe the big bang "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" a more scientific translation "At the beginning of time God created space and matter" this is describing the big bang in great detail. In other words, God spoke and BANG it happened.
@Just me ?
1) what do you mean
2) no what are you talking about?
@Just me 1) because thats what is what happened in the Bible
2) no I'm saying they overlap
@Just me 1) I'm just saying if it's true
2) I believe God started the universe using what scientists call the big bang
if God had created Universe 6,000 ys ago, light from distant stars wouldn't yet have arrived to our eyes to this day. So God must have created also the light which just SEEMS to have started from those stars at a time when they didn't yet exist. But why attribute to God such a deceitful behavior?
Deceitful to who? The people in the last hundred years that believe the universe is billions of years old? Is the speed of light the same now as during creation? Are the laws of physics the same now as they were when they were being created? When did time come into existence? When humans were eternal before the fall, why would time have existed as a dimension at all? Without time, would your question even be relevant? Would things have just "been"?
@@ChickenShmicken “Is the speed of light the same now as during creation? Are the laws of physics the same now as they were when they were being created? When did time come into existence?” Very good questions, actually asked by scientists now. But for now observations suggest a universe MUCH older than 6000 ys. Which observations point to another conclusion?
“Is the speed of light the same now as during creation? Are the laws of physics the same now as they were when they were being created?"
Yes, in essential, this can be detected with very distant star light going through hydrogen clouds and get polirized.

This was a very good video with a lot of important information. However, Dr. Mortenson didn't actually discuss the flaws in the Big Bang. He mostly talked about the naturalistic assumptions of the evolutionary philosophy. He really said very little about the big bang itself.

@@MeMe-le5yt My point was that this video didn't actually deal with what was in the title. There are many videos and articles that actually discuss the flaws in the big bang theory.
@@DavidVonR If a scientific model has flaws, then it is not true. The big bang theory has irreconcilable flaws.
First, the universe was not created through evolution, evolution is cumulative change of populations of organisms over time, decent of modification, it applies to biological processes, not cosmology, "geological evolution" is not a thing, the term is "accretion of earth", it is not evolutionary theorem, "cosmological evolution" is also wrong, the term is "cosmic expansion", naturalism is a philosophy, in which all processes that are observed are part of the natural world, Atheism is when a person or persons do not believe in a god or gods, the two are not connected, the person in this video is presenting a fallacy, he assumes there must be a god, therefore anything that sheds doubt on that claim is false, science is non biased, it is a methodology in which we observe, test and validate the natural world, religions don't do that, they are supernatural and cannot be tested, validated or confirmed, 98% of all scientists confirm the big bang theory, 99% confirm evolution, creationist "scientists" are biased and thus don't "believe", which is fine because scientific fact does not need belief, the god that is presented here is the same as the one in the Quran, Judaism, Israel and all Abrahamic religions, its called Yahweh, the term bible means "collection", which is exactly what it is, a collection of stories, poems and proverbs of time gone by, no truth to be found there, science is a method, it is "how" we discover things, there is no separation, "evolutionist" isn't a word, its a derogatory slang term used by creationists, the supporting theory around the moon's origin is that the young Earth collided with another planet, dubbed Theia, evidence of the Earth's tilt shows that the theory has validation, the Earth increased its overall size from early forming, we have evidence to support this theory too, Saturn's moons have salty oceans of liquid water and Europa's inner mantle is made up of liquid water, the Earth isn't the only place in the solar system, the Earth's ocean's wouldn't dry up or freeze entirely, they would coalesce underground, which is why water is found on other planets, the "Orion Nebula" is literally a group of stars forming 20 lightyears away, we have observed it and are still observing it, as for the big bang or cosmic expansion, we know this happened, "cosmic microwave background radiation" was discovered in the mid 1960's, it is the afterglow of the "big bang", we can measure that space is expanding, moving away from us, meaning that it must've come from a single point before expanding, like a balloon filling with gas, galaxy arms are not caused directly by gravity but from "density waves", that is the clusters of stars that are close to the core of the galaxy are pushing on the arms causing them to stretch out, the rest of this video is hate mongering on Atheists, not understanding what atheism is and then fear mongering his audience to "believe", even though he has blurted out the most ridiculous theist nonsense I've heard in a long time, heck a five minute google search completely disproved all of his points, the rest is just filler!
Cosmological/geological evolution is not the same as biological evolution

Christians should not be afraid of Satan working against them. One of the most important verses about him is 1 John 4:4 which says, “You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” The Holy Spirit indwells believers (Romans 8:11), and because of the cross of Christ we are promised ultimate victory in Jesus and if we resist the devil he will flee from us (James 4:7).
This was beneficial as always. I have a question. When the Bible says God said and there was, do we interpret it in a way that means everything that exists just came into existence in a peco second or did God put processes in place for them to come into existence giving us the opportunity to see God's handiwork and ingenuity and his invisible attributes when we study the universe and everything He created so that we are without excuse?
@@frankcardano4142 just like the way your thoughts are manifested by speaking. There is a mind behind the words, you spoke those words and now I can see and understand something and I would have never been able to unless you spoke it. And now I have the joy and pleasure to interact with the mind and person who brought forth his thoughts.
Everything you see in the universe around you is information. The Bible says in John1, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:1-3. And I find this stupendously fascinating because you understand that at the root of it all, is information. And it is only reasonable to infer that the information originated from a source external to itself. And this information originated from a being who is the Word and that is logos which is also the root of words like logic and rationale. This very logos spoke the information that was necessary to bring everything into existence and so it was. Hence why you see data everywhere you turn even when you study DNA. And it is the same Word that was manifest in the flesh and that is Jesus Christ who died for our sins so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Hence why we have The Bible, his word, so that we may come to fellowship with God who created the heavens and the earth having revealed himself through it. Everything at its core is word, logos, information. And just as His spoken word brought everything into existence, may His Word also bring you forth from darkness into light unto eternal life and only words of life can do that. The Word created, The Word died and rose again and is now seated at the right hand of God, and the Word gives you eternal life and sustains you.
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life;
1 John 1:1 KJV
I believe Adam was created with a navel and that all things came into being with the complexity they have now. There was no winding up of the universe. It came into existence planets rotating, full expanse of space, gravity already extended or you would have effects just like an old motor coughing and shaking before starting to run cleanly.
@@frankcardano4142 the cheap answer is "because things do not come into existence by themselves". For everything that exists there needs to be a cause. If it exists here in the unverse. Except the universe, which is either unexplainable or has a cause outside of itself. There is no viable quantum field explanation.
@@frankcardano4142 wait! A mind that is outside of time, space, and matter, a living being who was manifest in the flesh cannot bring forth life, but stardust can? Stardust, a non living entity can bring about human beings let alone all the life around you? You have far greater problems when you remove your mind from the very thing that made it. Besides, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. Since you cannot explain how you came from stardust, it is not much of an explanation any way. Also, being able to explain something is not the test of veracity of anything. If your mind is a chance product of purposeless, directionless, and mindless processes, why would you trust it? It is rather illogical to say that the universe is most certainly here, but it is a product of random processes of uncertainties.
the problem with the latter half of your question is that God exists outside of space and even TIME itself, having created those things as well. this is alluded to in Gen 1:1 "In the beginning" (of what, exactly?) and in vs. 1:5 it was clarified with "Evening came and then morning: the first day." if there was a first day, and it is clear that God created it as He did everything else, then He did so from outside of it - time itself. you could interpret that to mean He only created the illustration of the passage of time by creating light, and separating it from darkness, but these are vss. 3 and 4 respectively, so if that were true vs. 5 would be a redundancy. also, John 1:3 states that all things were created through Him, and even scientists consider time a thing, and have even observed that it is directly proportional to gravity. it is interesting that even if one followed the "big bang" you might have to conclude that time didn't spring into existence until the big bang, at which point gravity was near infinite and expanded from there, so time didn't *move* forward at all until the point of the big bang, hence it didn't exist previously, and was *created* with the bang. I don't want to get too far off topic with that, I certainly don't believe big bang, but there is a point to this I will mention later. so I realize that these verses are subject to interpretation, but a web search shows a number of other references, for example Jude 25 contains "...before all time..." so it would appear that even in Jude's day they believed there was a point (for lack of a better word) that existed before time began.
so I'd say the answer to your question is the former - He spoke and it was, as it is written. I truly don't believe this in any way robs us of seeing His handiwork or ingenuity. it is clear there are mechanisms in place that hold and drive all of creation from the laws of physics to our DNA. so it stands to reason that a Supreme Being that created everything, which has to mean that it was from literal nothing, would need to exist outside of time (you would have to acknowledge this even if you believed He created everything through the big bang, as I mentioned with the relationship between time and gravity earlier.) so it follows logically (to me at least, maybe I'm flawed in my thinking) that such a Being would NOT actually need that time He just created in order to assemble all of these other created things together.
now the problem with what I believe, is why did God do this over 6 days when He didn't need that time? that is a bit more complex and I'm not sure I understand it so I'll digress on that point, except to say two things: 1. that He did it in a certain order and paused, declaring along the way that what was just created was "good" and I think that is all significant. 2. resting on the 7th day is our first demonstration of the sabbath (because why would such a Being need to rest, who created the very time He would need to do so?), and I've both read and heard that this ultimately points to Christ as our sabbath, but that's a big topic I don't want to get into.
hope that helps.
I don't get how they claim to know the great distance of the stars at light years. The only system we can track is the Alpha Centauries system at 4.4 Light Years. A distance we can track in the past 70 years. However, how do scientists claim to know galaxies that are thousands of light years away. How can you measure these distances be measured by theoretical 'red shifts' which again assumes we are at the center of the blue and red shifts to track stellar movements?! It would be like trying to use triangulation to estimate the distance of the moon from the Earth by using a triangle with a base only one inch long!!
Not only that, but even a GED. Math level like me, cannot believe that galaxies are 13.800 Millions of light-years away from the earth.
How in the world 🌎 did those galaxies move that far in only 13.800 Million yrs.?
Galaxies cannot move at the speed of light.
Plus; they used to say 12.000 million yrs.
Only about 50 yrs ago when I was a teenager. Today is 13.800 Million yrs.
Only history illiterates would believe them.
Why not take time to learn?
Well, there are many, many things that are hard to understand or "to know". This does not mean that people who dedicate their lifes studying these topics are wrong. Allow me a bit of sarcasm to make my point: How can you produce a transistor of a few nano-meters in size? How could anybody even do that? That is just impossible! You might say that, well, the transistor is actually sitting on a chip inside your phone that you are holding in your hand and you can use your phone, ergo the transistor must exists. But do you really know? What do you REALLY know? Those scales are magic for anybody outside of those engineering processes... How can we manufacture something that is a billionth of a meter?
This rethoric can be applied to anything...
You see, my point is: Just questioning the methods does not really do anything or get you closer to the truth or understanding. Trying to understand the methods that those "who claim to know" apply will get one much further. And it can allow for real criticism of the methods that are worth criticising... Just some thoughts...
Neither of you answered the question. What's odd is that is a reasonable question. Can we use inch long triangulation to measure the distance of the moon? If we can, then the lightyear distance we think we know gains confidence, if we can't then where does our confidence come from? This is a very logical question, so to see only answers of dismissal is quite telling on ur knowledge of the matter and ur blind faith in what u believe.

Science : We try to do our best to explain the world/universe we live in with our current knowledge, knowing that we do not have the answers to everything and knowing that in the past we've made mistakes such as thinking the earth is at the center of our solar system. Our current THEORY of how the universe came into existence is at the moment just a theory and may be wrong, but it's the best we can do at present. In the future, a better, more complete theory may be proposed that will replace the big bang theory.
Religion: We know what happened because it was written in a book by someone who heard voices in his head that said God did it all.
But you can't use science to avoid God. In that case you don't want to be honest and you don't want to think about God. Also, and more critical, without the God and His creation, you don't have nothing to research or investigate. Your own existence depens of Him. What's the problem about that?

@@samuelrodriguez9199 Well, to be fair, if you’re going to make a video that supposedly exposes the Big Bang Theory, it’d be nice to _actually_ address _all_ of the evidence of the Big Bang Theory and expose it. Explain why its incorrect or the conclusions drawn from the data are lacking, and actually address the damn data while doing so. He needs to form coherent, relevant, alternate explanations for all of that evidence, or why that evidence is better suited to the theory he is producing to replace the BBT. I guarantee you it’ll take far longer than a 24 minute video.
He didn’t do any of that. Absolutely nothing in this exposes or even remotely threatens the BBT. Most of it was done from viewpoint of trying to frame it as an Evolutionary view with the bias of “naturalism,” when its primarily Cosmology, Physics and Astronomy. I suspect that the reason for that is that Dr. Mortenson isn’t qualified to speak on it.
Which brings us to…
The other very big problem that I’ve seen no one really address is that Dr. Mortenson has no background whatsoever in physics, cosmology, quantum mechanics, astrophysics, or any field related to _any_ of the data that is present in the BBT. His degree is in Historical Geology. Would you want a foot doctor advising you for heart surgery? He has no qualifications to “expose” anything at all related to the BBT. And to anyone with a degree of knowledge in these fields, his attempts at “exposing” the Big Bang was lackluster nonsense that didn’t actually address the BBT at all.
One of the titles of the chapters was, “What is the origin of the solar system according to evolution?” Another was, “What is the origin of stars and galaxies according to evolution?” “What is the origin of the Universe according to evolution?” Evolution is a biological theory. It has absolutely nothing at all to do with the formation of the solar system, the stars and galaxies, or the Universe. You’re literally being programmed by these people. It’s so blatantly obvious.
It is this kind of blatant dishonesty that AiG is known for by those “outside the flock.” It also makes for sad commentary that the viewers of the video didn’t pick up on some of the nonsense that even someone without knowledge of science should be able to spot. At the very least, notice that the moron telling these things is in no way qualified to talk on them.
That very obvious fact that no one seems to notice tells me a great deal about the intelligence and degree of scrutiny and integrity of the majority here who blindly accept what someone is saying because its something you want to hear. At worst, you should be suspect. But no, there is applause and congratulations on this drivel by an unqualified shill because none of you have any knowledge in the related fields to know if he’s _actually_ telling you the Truth® or just feeding you science-sounding jargon to keep you in the flock, and you probably wouldn’t care anyway because you don’t want to lose your religion to anything as pedestrian as evidence against your understanding of it.

Both big bang & the Bible agree, in the beginning, the creation of the universe started with light (energy). Then the stars & planets, vegetation, animals, man. There is only one truth, one reality, and ultimately the Bible & Science will agree.
"I think the big bang theory fits perfectly with the Bible's description of the creation as "something from nothing." "
Yes, and interestingly because of that it was critisized by some scientists back than who that, it is a theory made up by Christians (the main guy behind it was a catholic theologist) who were searching for a theory that matches with their belief.
So it is funny when Christians critisize it. And it is funny how many creationists always use "How can something came from nothing?" as an argument , when Genesis actually describes exactly that.
Unfortunately the two creation stories in genesis don't even agree with each other and we know they're were never two first humans.
@@sebastiannolte1201 Something can't come from nothing within the confines of physical reality (matter, energy, space, and time). But God, who transcends physical reality, brought it all into being, apparently at the Big Bang, which fits with Genesis 1:1. Yes, young earth creationists have it wrong and don't seem to realize that the Big Bang is in agreement with the Bible because both say there was a beginning, and thus, a Beginner.

@@therick363 it’s great because it points to God and exposes some of the problems with evolution.
@@therick363 dude all of creation points to God because Romans 1 states,
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.”
Romans 1:20-21 NIV
@@therick363 1) God’s word counts as evidence because it is The reliable source.
2 Peter states,
“For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain. We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.”
2 Peter 1:16-21 NIV
You can’t just discard God’s word because you don’t feel like it’s reliable.
2) prove that all of creation doesn’t point to God.
“The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.”

Just because you don’t believe they’re evidence despite you having no proof to back up that belief.
Thus making your personal belief based off of blind faith because the evidence contradicts your belief.
“In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right, until someone comes forward and cross-examines.”

@@therick363 Here’s the proof that the Bible is God’s word.
John 1 states,
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.”
John 1:1, 3 NIV
Colossians 1 states,
“The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
Colossians 1:15-17 NIV
So basically God created everything (visible and invisible)
which is why we have things such as the laws of nature and math that exist but aren’t made up of matter or energy and didn’t come about by natural processes
And why all of creation points towards God
But without someone extremely important we wouldn’t be able to tell who the real God is
Which is where Jesus comes in
Matthew 22 states,
“While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?” “The son of David,” they replied. He said to them, “How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him ‘Lord’? For he says, “ ‘The Lord said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet.” ’ If then David calls him ‘Lord,’ how can he be his son?” No one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask him any more questions.”
Matthew 22:41-46 NIV
Here, Jesus is claiming to be God, the same God as the God in the Bible
Luke 24 states,
“‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”
Luke 24:7 NIV
Here, Jesus is saying that he’s going to be crucified and then conquer death and come back to life 3 days later, only God can conquer death
Acts 5 states,
“The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead-whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.””
Acts 5:30-32 NIV
Jesus claimed to be God (the God of the Bible ) and then proved that he was who he said he was by conquering death and rising from the dead 3 days after he was crucified
By coming to earth and doing this he confirmed that God is real and he is the God of the Bible.
thus making the Bible God’s word and proving it to be true.
And we know that these events actually happened because there were many eyewitnesses to them, that recorded what happened in historical documents and eyewitness accounts.

such foolishness to believe anything other than his word. he was there at creation. we were not and we will likely never know exactly how he created all things.
Psalm 14:1 says that denying God’s existence is commonly based on a desire to lead a wicked life.
In the Greek version of the Old Testament, the word rendered “fool” is aphron, literally, “mindless.” It represents “the lack of common sense perception of the reality of things natural and spiritual."
According to Psalm 14 the “fool” denies the existence of God; elsewhere in the same book the term describes one who insults his or her Creator continually (74:22). The prophet Isaiah employed the word of the individual who stands in contrast to a noble-minded person (32:5).
We can find in the Bible a lot of expressions that represent hostility towards God but the expression “there is no God” occurs only twice.
To argue that an incredibly complex and obviously designed universe and everything within it comes from naturalistic processes reveals a truly “senseless heart” (Rom. 1:21).
At its root, atheism not an intellectual problem as is commonly thought in our day. Rather, the folly of atheism is rooted in a determined trajectory of autonomy that seeks to live life on our own terms and to resist the self-revelation of God’s presence and character in the world.
Belief in a divine Being is accompanied by a sense of accountability to that Being. So, to escape the condemnation of conscience, which itself was created by God, some simply deny the existence of God. They tell themselves, “There is no overseer of the world. There is no Judgment Day. I can live as I please.” The moral pull of the conscience is thus more easily ignored.
15:00 humans think they are a lot smarter than they are. They think they know more than they know. Humans will never be able to reach the intellectual level of the Almighty God but it's funny to sit there and watch them think they are.
@All About Britain I'm sure you'd like to think that. That would keep you from having to acknowledge an Almighty God.
@All About Britain actually there is nothing wrong with Genesis 1 and 2. God created all things. The fact that you deny that is testimony to the truth of the rest of the bible. God gives us all a choice and if you refuse to believe it, he will not force you to.
@Richard Fox people aren't led away from the truth because of the truth of the Bible. People are LED away from the truth because they refuse to accept it. If you don't want to believe it that's on you. You choose to believe man's word over God's and so you will have to accept those consequences.

I am thankful just to be alive and so should you! You and I are not in control of the fact that we are both alive. We were created not because we were needed but because we were wanted. How beautiful is that? I don't need you but I want you. To hear those words.
On the flip side if I was to believe I exist due to random chance within a perfect balance to sustain life without reason and therefore without hope to continue my existence is just depressing. No way. Why do we need a climax during sex which produces life? Why do we have food taste so amazing? Why do we see in color and the complexity of textures? For just survival we don't need these things that look, taste, smell and feel good.

Also, for a universe to be flat wouldn't that mean that it is quite possibly a different distance in width than in length or depth? Also, it would likely not be uniform in it's parameters if, in fact, it happened naturally. That being the likely case (seeing as, according to the theory it was an accidental, natural occurrence) how does that affect the CMB measurements? Also, if the universe is flat, making the big bang theory implausible, they would have to redetermine the origins of CMB, right? If there was no large explosion that started everything then we can't say that CMB were a direct result of that, right?

Wow, so distracted by the zooming in and out that it was harder to concentrate on what was being said.
The real lie is the belief that "going to heaven" solves anything. One, traditional Christian theology shows that sin *_ORIGINATED_* in heaven when satan rebelled against god. Given this precedent in plain sight, what keeps outbreaks of sin in heaven from happening again? Specifically, what keeps a redeemed Christian from going to heaven and then rebelling against god?
And two, souls *_CANNOT POSSIBLY_* be "immortal," because that belief conflicts with god's omnipotence. Does god have the power to destroy souls?
The whole purpose for us humans is to live a difficult life on Earth with a blind faith in God. If we can do so, then it will be no problem to live for God in our upgraded bodies and conditions. The angels also have been purged, with a third of them rebelling. All this rebellion is a necessary consequence of free will. But you have to break some eggs to make an omelet. Check out Revelation 21. It will work out.
Well, you are right in your 2nd point. Immortality means that there is not a begining or an end. Souls are not immortal. Genesis 2:7 says that God took the dust of the earth, breathed into it the breath of life, and man BECAME a living being. Death is not the opposite of life, it is the absence if life.
However you are wrong in your first point. The 7,000 years of time we gave been given foe the plan of salvation to play out (6,000 years on earth, 1,000 years in heaven, whereafter the new Jerusalem comes back to earth to finally deal with sin in the 2nd resurrection of those who did not choose him - search "second death" and then read Revelation 20:6) we do not remain in heaven, we inherit the renewed earth, where sin will no longer raise its head.

I think it’s lot quite the aspect of what created but how it happened for most younger people on origins of the universe. And I know a lot of people look at me with confusion saying ‘There’s no way one being created the entire universe that sounds like a fantasy.’ At first I believed evolutionary origins because thats what I was raised up in with school. But now I find that explanation shallow based on assumptions and ideals but no real evidence. I find myself seeking a higher knowledge where truth is laid to hopefully find completion especially to gods word.
If you were taught that the universe has evolutionary origins then your education failed you or you simply went paying attention. I've read your comments. You weren't paying attention. Evolution has absolutely nothing to do with the Big Bang aka the origin of the universe. You need a education. Evolution describes the diversity of living species on this planet.

Once I started diving into the Bible, doing study then I stumbled upon this RUclips channel by chance. Then the flood gates of truth opened. And I finally found my missing puzzle piece.
And with joy of the truth I also feel sad and ashamed that my own country has turned there backs so far on God and denied (even intentionally excluded) its youth the knowledge we need.

I claimed that I USED TO key words. 2nd Yes I know I have listening issues but that is no reason for you to call me out as ignorant and be rude and snappy. I didn’t ask for your response or ‘astute advanced modern opinion’ and I’m not going to give credit to a high horse.

The origin is known. God explains it pretty well in Genesis.
I really appreciate this presentation. I find it to be edifying and uplifting. One point that grated on my senses was the assertion that "we sent men to the moon" (paraphrase). I just find it too long a stretch. I figure it a topic best not mentioned as it is simply too difficult to prove. Oh, bye the way, it would be a breath of fresh air to see AIG broach the hot topic of Geocentric Cosmology and I'm not talking flat earth my friends...it is stunning how little (zero) empirical proof exists to support earth rotates or orbits the sun and how much evidence has been documented suggesting earth is in a favoured location at the very centre of the cosmos.
Moon landing is a fact. Heliocentricity is a fact.

@@globalcoupledances Have we ever conformed the distance of our "measurements" by actually visiting those stars to make sure it is an accurate measurement? Or is it just a belief that is being pushed on to us to make us less devoted to God?
Boyle's law proves that no star could ever form. And no star has ever been observed to form. That's called science.

We know how stars die, how they're born, and how nuclear fusion works. In 1987, we observed a supernova explosion which occurred because a supergiant star died. Stellar and planetary evolution are well understood.

@@janethutcheson3678 in the first half you were describing Cthulu.
Wow, really, he comes up with this "Earth has the perfect distance" nonsense? How can people really think like that? If the sun was the only star in the entire universe and the earth would be the only planet, then we could use that argument. But we have several planets in our solar system - that increases the probabilty that one of them has the correct distance for liquid water. But more imporant: There are billions of stars in our universe. So probably billions of planets. So how should it be special that at least one of them has the requirments for life? The more you have, the higher are the chances. When you throw a dice once and you have a six, then you have luck and it is more special. But when you try it 100 times, then it is absolutly not special, that there will be at least one six among it.
I guess it is also has to do that people feel special because they are on this rare earth. But that is of course also nonsense. Imagine there is a lottery and all seven billion people on earth take part - and there is only one winning ticket, all others lose. And you are the winner! What do you think? "Wow, the chance was 1:7000000000 and I won! How is that possible! Amazing! Must be a sign of God!" Ehm - no. The chance, that SOMEBODY will win was 100%. So there is NOTHING special about it, that somebody wins. He just think it is special from his point of view, but not when you look at at from the outside. Which means for the earth: It is nothing special that there is a planet in the universe that supports life. You only feel special that you live on this planet, but it is not. You would just not exist on this planet, if it would not support life.

"Atheism-not believing in any gods"
Wrong. Atheism is actually not believing in science. It is the backward irrational "brain-dead" blind-faith belief in the scientific impossibility that "everything created itself". Atheism is the result of being brainwashed with magical, childish, fairy-tale nonsense. Science 100% completely debunks and brutally destroys atheism.
@@BernardGoonting hey sorry for the long wait on a reply but i wanted to point out that nothing in atheism says that the universe created itself and im not actually sure what youre referring to in general as the only people who make those kinds of claims are Creationists setting up a strawman argument.

..let God be true, but every man a liar.. Romans 3:4
Wasn't Romans 3:4 written by a human?
@@drewdrake9130 Was it?
@@drewdrake9130 ah, the irony. Technically, the entire Bible was written by humans.
A lack of evidence of God’s existence is not the true reason atheists reject a belief in God. Their rejection is due to a desire to live free of the moral constraints God requires and to escape the guilt that accompanies the violation of those constraints.
The statement "there is no God" in reality, is not a literal denial of the existence of God (or of gods), but a description of the wicked, who live and behave as though God takes no notice of human behavior. The respective contexts of Psalms 10, 14, and 53 support this interpretation.
For since the creation of the world His [God’s] invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools (Romans 1:20-22).
Atheism is irrational. It’s not a system that satisfies the intellect. You can never be sure that there is no God. It assumes a kind of knowledge that the human mind simply does not have. David is right! Only a fool would be satisfied with the claim that there is no God.
Atheism is, in short, not so much an intellectual choice, as it is a moral choice. In a larger sense, we are all biblical fools, even though we have not publicly aligned ourselves with the atheist. We are “fools” when we live and act as if there is no God. We live as functional atheists when we fail to seek God and to live righteously. But this psalm calls us back afresh to the company of the righteous and back to the great moral framework of the universe. Only in this company will salvation and joy be finally ours. It is the resurrected Christ and the empty tomb, which alone, washes us all of our “foolishness” and sets our feet firmly with Christ in the way of the righteous.
@Just me the bible actually reveals the intentions of the heart. God is omnipresent and omniscient so yes, he knows more about you than you know about yourself. In fact, he knows the day you were born and the day you will die. He knows how many hairs are on your head and he knows what each day will bring you, your entire life.

I can go and provide a lot of examples if you want. My God is intelligent, just, loving, and he is the source of life.
"Nature or matter is all that exists" is not an assumption. It's a tentative conclusion based on evidence. As soon as christians show that god is something other than a figment of their imagination, the current scientific understanding will change.
Thought exists. Consciousness exists. Otherwise these words are just a figment of your imagination, which doesn't exist.
@@beestoe993 I have no idea what this means.
@@sulpicius7602 God bless you, Lol.
Time exists, gravity exists, matter alone cannot exist.
@@sulpicius7602 It's a conclusion based not on evidence, but on the assumption that seeing is believing. It all goes back to a simple rejection of God. You've conflated _evidence_ with _proof._ A dog turd in your front yard is evidence of the presence of a dog, but it isn't proof; that alone doesn't eliminate the unlikely notion that it's evidence that it was placed there by another person. The very existence and complexity of every little thing is evidence of God; but since evidence isn't proof, you've chosen to believe the unlikely notion that intelligent design came from random chaos for the simple reason that you have predetermined to reject God.
Everything leaves evidence, and many things leave the same or similar evidence as each other. A pile of rubble is evidence that a building was demolished; it's also evidence that a building collapsed; it's also evidence that a construction crew threw all their scrap into a pile. It doesn't prove any of this; proofs are made up of multiple evidences that eliminate all other possibilities. Scientific theories require rigorous proofs, but hypotheses don't. Show me a rigorous proof for evolution and I'll show you a rigorous proof that 1 = 2.
Religion will say anything to try and keep people from believing the truth..

“Nobody ever saw that happen”. I implore you to find another source that’s not a 2000 year old book that says Jesus walked on water or turned water into wine or did any other wild claim.
The Earliest gospel would be just 1970 years old, so there you have it… ;)
@@frankcardano4142 Brian B. mentioned a source that is not 2000 years old. I responded with kind of a joke. But there are at least a dozen extra biblical sources that attest the existence of Jesus and what His followers believed about Him. There are many videos that speak about it. Plus the Bible is a collection of sources. Not one book. It is like 27 evolution books were put together in a collection, and I said ‘ but that’s not fair, it is all the same book’ . Plus the Quran speaks about Jesus and many gnostic gospels. I don’t consider those holy scriptures, because they distort the truth, but they attest the existence and miracle works of Jesus, even though they exaggerate or make up stuff around the truth.
@@Rob-ym Christianity is 1 of 45 factions of Judaism and Judaism is the 3rd oldest religion in the world. Explain that fact away

To a Christian the old and New Testament are in total concordance. But christianity is not a faction of Judaism.

Reading these comments, I can’t believe how many are positive. Are you really not hearing it? Are not hearing the overtly deliberate structuring of his statements. They are clearly (and condescendingly) framed with the obvious intention of impregnating your critical filters with biases. Any statement rooted in the truth does not need to rely on such manipulative delivery.
So tell us - how did life start on earth?
@@kevinrtres
scientists have conducted many experiments in pursuit of understanding the origin of life. At least a few experiments have successfully shown that the fundamental building blocks for life can be produced when the right elements and chemicals find themselves in the right conditions. Eventually amino acids came into being, thus allowing proteins to form. While the ingredients of our earth were coalescing during it’s many formative stages, it was only a matter of time before the primordial soup with just the right ingredients would occur. Eventually that soup would get just the right dose of sunlight, perhaps even stimulated by geothermal influence or lightning strikes. Time passes, RNA is produced… Time passes, single cell organisms are born… Time passes, multicellular life is achieved… so on and so forth…
Now, if one of your responses to this is, “Most of that is speculation. Scientists still don’t actually know the answer.”
…. Or something to that effect….
My response is this:
It seems to me, those who subscribe to the intelligent design argument, often go out of their way to misunderstand what science is trying to say to them. When scientists give a theoretical example, and say that they don’t know the answer yet, they are saying they do not know the EXACT answer. That is what scientists do, they will tell you they do not know what they do not know. In a case such as understanding life’s origin, they DO have enough knowledge to be certain they are going in the right direction.
They have enough knowledge to know that it wasn’t sky daddy doing a magic trick to make Pinocchio a real boy and then make a woman out of his rib.
I think it’s interesting to point out, by the way, that my comment was meant to point out the condescending nature of the speaker’s delivery. He’s obviously conflating vernacular to deliberately lead those Who are eager to agree with him. It’s strange to me that they don’t hear the way he is talking down to them. He clearly feels as though he occupies a higher state then those to whom he is speaking.
In response to that, your challenge is to pick one of the topics off the shelf that science hasn’t got figured out yet so you can say, ah ha!! You see you there… You nerds aren’t so smart after all!!
Well, that’s just par for the course when dealing with people of “faith.” I think religion is just fine. I think human beings are prone to fill in gaps The best they can. I just start getting tired of Christians when I run into his hardheaded and narrow minded, determination to be intellectually shortsighted. Why can’t God be challenged? Why can’t that ridiculous book be challenged? Because God said so? Isn’t he supposed to be awesome? He can’t handle a little criticism? I think almost every civilized adult knows to expect a little criticism once in a while. The sky daddy doesn’t like it when we backtalk him. He sounds like an insecure character to me. Who does that sound like? Humans!! Humans are insecure!! The reason god has the same petty character as a man is because he is a man. Man wrote that character into existence and in the process, endowed him their own elements. Think about it… we are made in gods image? Why does God need a nose or eyelashes? Does God need toenails or genitalia? Does god have that little thing that dangles in the back of your mouth?
@@gooseneckwjdyoung8028 I find your composition quite hilarious!
Did you perhaps spend some time listening to D r J A M E S T o u r talking about the dilemmas for abiogenesis? If not then please do take some time to listen and then come tell me again about the fairy tale you've spun here.
As for Christians being hardheaded and narrow minded - you've got that exactly right - Jesus said narrow is the way and small is the gate that leads to life and few that are that find it. I am as narrow minded as one can get - and I can boast in what Jesus said.
You can criticize God all you want - it doesn't make one iota of a difference because He has already decreed that the only way into His presence is via an absolutely sinless life. Not even the smallest lie or disobedience to parents or stealing a small thing or coveting another person's possessions or lusting sexually in your heart/mind or being so angry at someone else as to hate them ( Jesus called that the same as murder ) - if you've committed any of these you have rejected God and declared yourself to be His enemy.
The only way back is by accepting that Jesus paid the penalty for your sins on the cross and that if you surrender to that then you'll be credited with the sinless life of Jesus Himself so that you'll be acceptable to God. There is no other way.
All the criticism and ranting will be of no avail - God has made a decree and one can only accept it or reject it. By default all human beings ( except Jesus Himself ) has rejected it and hence they are doomed - until they submit to GOD's way of doing things.
@@kevinrtres Alrighty… you’ve given me quite a lot to respond to here. I appreciate and want to thank you for your passionate investment in this blossoming discussion. I looked up Dr. James Tour. I will admit that I haven’t yet given him what I could honestly consider a fair amount of time to hear his argument. I got a bit antsy about coming back to respond as soon as I recognized something familiar in the way he structures his argument. Perhaps in my haste, I’ve exposed myself to risk of having to stand corrected after I’ve heard more of his message. I noticed that while he’s smart enough to pretend like he’s not implying intelligent design is the likely answer. He’s essentially barfing up the same tactic that every straight and narrow drone uses to protect his faith from the threat of critical objectivity. He delivers the technical details of just how gosh darn complicated living cells are and there’s just no way they could have come into being through natural processes… so on and so forth…

@@gooseneckwjdyoung8028 You are mistaken if you think Dr Tour is just another intelligent design person. He challenges you with real, working science - see if you can overturn it with real, working science yourself. Don't just throw out the baby with the bathwater because of your own bias. You can even talk to him yourself if your think he is just talking thru his neck - he invites you to have a zoom session with him. Go on, speak to him yourself - just be ready to tell him where and why his science is wrong if you insist on rejecting his talks.
As for God "raping" Mary, you seem to neglect the fact that He *_is GOD!_* and He can do whatever He pleases and that HE is not subject to anyone's rules - so your abject attempt at using human morals to judge the one who created truth is like claiming you invented water after you've managed to put a drop back into the ocean.
Besides which, Jesus is *_THE_* greatest gift to mankind - so just who wouldn't want to be the receiver of that gift?
