not really. he mainly talks about the mechanics of science as "proof" of no God. thing is science has no saying in the matter. science is concerned with natural laws only and not philosophy.
God doesn't "mess" with science in any way at all. God is the catalyst for science, without him science could not exist. God created reality and science is the, what? Thats right, the study and discovery of that which already exists. (AKA Gods creation)
You can't prove anything in science by logic or arguments alone. Any scientific assertion needs observation and data. That's what is true in all science. You can say that God set up those rules for any scientific assertion, and it would have to apply to God's existence, unless God wishes for it's existence to be unknown. The existence of God would be a scientific claim. And, so one cannot prove the existence of God with logic alone. Unless you have observations and data, and can prove correlation to an identifiable and unique being that is God, you can't prove the existence of God.
If you can demonstrate that god is real you might have a point, right now ALL the evidence that we have points to Science being a human made process. And if god created science, why is science making more non-believers than believers?

There is no creator, and god is completely useless. There cannot be a creator, because of ex nihlo nihil. To make something from nothing is impossible, so the process of creation is impossible.
Guys, have you realize this: 1. Theory of evolution: talking about the changing process of organism 2. Randomness/chance: talking about randomness of events/universe(s) 3. Creationism : talking about all the creation that is basically directly created, not from evolution. All of them needs the creator, here is why: 1. Evolution: needs creator that is first generating the organism(s) to go through evolution 2. Randomness/chance: needs the producer and mover of matter(s) that move randomly 3. Creationism: needs agency/creator to directly create the creations. So, whatever Dawkins said, it always need creator. If he still insist, then he believe in magic, because he insist that "nothing can produce something". As simple as that.

What puzzles me is that we dismiss world creation that is written in the bible but somehow we continue believing in other chapters. If you had a scientific magazine and one article turn out to be an absolute lie would you still quote it as a source reference for your own findings? No you wouldn't. I think evolution theory put religion in the correct place , mythology department.
I agree the Bible is mostly myth but I actually there are instances where we keep some of the science from a particular book while other parts have been proven incorrect

There are similarities between the sequence of fossil dating and the sequence of creation events as described in the Bible, particularly in the Book of Genesis. Here’s a comparison: Scientific Fossil Dating Sequence: 1. Plants (appear early in the fossil record, hundreds of millions of years ago) 2. Fish (appear around 500 million years ago: Cambrian period) 3. Birds (appear around 150 million years ago: Jurassic Period) 4. Mammals (appear most around 62 million years ago, with diversification after the extinction of dinosaurs: Tertiary Period) 5. Humans (hominins appear around 6-7 million years ago, Homo sapiens much later around 200,000 years ago: Quarternary period) Biblical Creation Sequence (Genesis 1:1-31 and 2:1-3): 1. Plants (created on Day 3) 2. Fish and birds (created on Day 5) 3. Land animals, including mammals (created on Day 6) 4. Humans (created on Day 6) Note: The term 'day' is used to indicate a sequence and not a literal 24-hour period. We are still in the seventh 'day,' which is a period of rest for God, meaning there is no active creation occurring. Among all the holy books in the world, only the Bible provides accurate account of fossil timeline . It shows that God of the Bible is the true God of the universe or the true creator.

A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'... My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to my NDE... Myoho-Renge-Kyo (Lotus Sutra) represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave. The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist. For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment. The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing. The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence. The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists. Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’. On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication. For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything. NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
The most amazing and baffling thing to me is constantly hearing people who claim to believe their cognitive abilities evolved through natural selection for survival making truth claims. How can they possibly trust that their cognitive abilities evolved to know truth. Let alone expect others to accept their truth claims as truth..They do it because they don’t actually live out the ideologies they claim to believe. They borrow from deistic beliefs to make truth claims and don’t even recognize the irony.
Very well said. The biggest cop-out (I find) is to deny that atheism is a world view... it is just the default and no world view... yet atheist decide based on their atheistic viewpoint how they live, who they choose as partners, what jobs they do, whether something is good or bad... but if they admit it is a worldview, they would have to give a reason why that worldview is more valid than another, where they got any moral standard... and that is ALL subjective without a God.

As an atheist, the only thing I say is I don't think there is good evidence to believe any god exists. That's where it ends. Does it affect part of how I view somethings in the world? Of course it does. I think some religious people think because they view so many things relative to their belief in whatever deity that someone who does not believe in a deity does the same thing. I would say that skepticism is a better description of my worldview. Not all atheists are skeptics. Not all theist base their whole existence on their god belief. How I treat people is independent of my belief that there is no evidence that a god exists. I don't know if this explanation helps you at all.
The reality is we all actually know, or suspect, that life started here because conditions allowed it to evolve and change due to weather, heat and the varying climate. Homo-sapiens need to invent Gods in general as the abstract notion of a deity is the only way to make sense of their existence. The fact we know what’s coming as we’ve all been there is too much for many to comprehend or accept. Nothing to fear you won’t know you’re dead.

It's all smoke and mirrors with this guy, like a good politician he'll never get to the root of the issue for fear of being found out!
Science, at least what we know so far just confirms there is a creator. There's much more scientific evidence for a supreme being than the theory of evolution and the existence of the universe.

Think about it. When we look at nature, we see birds making nests and people building houses. If we say the sun and the moon exist naturally, it is like saying birds don't make nests, they exist naturally, and people don't build houses, they exist naturally. So you realize that someone created the sun and the moon, right? Think about it. Humans can easily make bird nests, but birds cannot make houses. Because humans are a higher species than birds. Likewise, humans cannot create the sun and the earth, but God can easily create them because God is many times higher than us. Do you understand? So when you are sick, God can heal you easily because God created man in the first place, the important thing is that you pray to God so that God can heal you. Just like when you make a house, when you don't like that house, you can easily destroy it and repair it. Do you understand? You are a human so you are not qualified to know who created God because only God knows internally. If God gave you, you would know. Just like birds or other animals are not qualified to know who gave birth to you because the limits of understanding of each species are different. When God created all things including the sun, moon, animals and plants, God also created the laws that operate them. For example, when the sun and moon were created to revolve around each other, gravity came into play. For humans and animals, when you eat, you will be full. If you do not eat, you will be hungry. If you do not drink, you will be thirsty. This is what Christianity calls the law of sowing and reaping. Buddhism calls it the law of cause and effect. From the picture I describe, you can visualize all species, high and low level animals and answer all questions related to this topic easily, scientifically and logically.

"Shakespeare wrote: “There is nothing more confining than the prison we don’t know we are in.” In other words, whatever we are not conscious of can have a deep hold on us. In critical moments, we can wind up doing its bidding while believing we are making our own choices in life. We are in just such a prison of our own making when we act as if the common world of fact and figures is not only the “real world,” but also the only world. The prison of the modern mind is partly created by the common belief that “reality” can be limited to logic, statistics, and provable facts. Not that the literal world is “unreal,” rather that it is the first level of reality and can never depict all that is truly Real. Restricting all modes of presence to a single plane of being leads to being trapped in a narrow view of life and imprisoned in the linear trap of time. Too much “hard reality” and the world becomes as if flat again; we lose touch with all that makes this earth a place of wonder and beauty and hidden possibilities. Our world is a reflection of our own soul. Because we have learned to deny the world its soul and therefore its connection to the divine, it, too, can seem to be dying. Under the spell of literalism and the tyranny of facts and statistics, the modern legacy becomes an increasingly diminished world that has been overly quantified as well as thoroughly exploited. The rise of literalism signals the loss of imagination underlying both the fixation with measurable facts and the fundamentalism of fanatic beliefs. Literalism reduces the world to fixed ideas and rigid dogmas while isolating people at extremes of thought, feeling, and belief. Literalism takes the mystery and the natural sense of awe out of the world and eventually takes the meaning out of life. If there is no otherworld of spirit and imagination, there can be nowhere to turn when the real world becomes disorienting, when everything around us becomes both more irrational and increasingly chaotic. When life has lost its wonder and nature has lost its living halo, imagination is the missing ingredient and the necessary remedy for the disease of literalism." - Michael Meade, "Awakening the Soul" Consciousness inhabits and animates creation and its creatures not unlike the power that flows through a computer to make it work in accordance with the hardware and software of the device. By this analogy, the specific physical characteristics of a creature’s body constitute the hardware, and the programming of its mind the software. These things are important to understand because if this conceptual ground is not firm, the model we build from here will not endure, and its potential value will be lost. What all this is pointing to is that what you really are―what we all are―is an eternal, unlimited energy source capable of creating and experiencing events. What you are is this creative source, this Consciousness. Who you are is how this Consciousness works through you to express as something unique in the world. Powerful creative Consciousness is your true and essential nature, but of course, you experience your life through the limitations of a human body, so it may not seem that you are an all-powerful being at times, or indeed ever. By its very nature, the body exists as some ‘thing’ and is, therefore, a limitation or restriction of ‘everything else possible’, to become something specific and useful―a human being. And then it must be remembered that these bodies we inhabit are a product of Mother Earth, and have developed for good reasons. Although today there are many philosophes, theories and just sheer guesses put forward to explain the purpose of our existence, none of them fully describe or satisfactorily explain the original intention for our emergence. Some bodies born into this world have, or will develop over time, physical or mental attributes that further alter the creative opportunities and experiences available to them in a lifetime. The influence of our national culture, the general culture of our times, and the impact of our upbringing by parents and other significant people also become major influences that can place limitations on our thinking and power. Other restrictions occur as a result of the pains we might experience in life, the emotions that often get buried in the body as a result, and the accumulating limited beliefs they then give rise to. There is also the concept of ‘karmic debt’ that will limit opportunities, and this too will be discussed later in the work. The state of your own evolved Consciousness is another factor affecting personal power. All these things limit the opportunities you have in life, and so it can be seen that although your true nature is something quite grand, you find yourself in very limiting circumstances. But it is important to keep perspective. Your essential nature is a free and unlimited Consciousness, a potential capable of eternal creation and experience. And this Consciousness was the reality before the Universe that we know emerged.

If someone wants to believe there's no God, that's fine. If someone else thinks God is the Master and Creator of all, that is also fine. After all, God has given us free will. And that is the beauty of God's love. He will never force you to love Him but He will give His everything to you.

Sometimes very smart people like Hawking can really be blind because of their personal experiences with health and life. Putting God on the same level of physics as humans is like a very smart NPC from a game saying game developers (creators) are obeying to the same game rules as he is. Also, being much more intelligent than most of the people and knowing you know only a very small fraction of the current universe rules and still making such remarks, makes you wonder how how really enlightened our scientist are.
Professor Kako explaining string theory having many universes. Remded me of a verse from the Quran..21:104 as God explanes the creation. "The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books (completed),- even as We produced the first creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfil it."
We all believe in “Nature’s God” (not anthropomorphic). Order out of chaos. Even though all systems theoretically trend towards total entropy (randomness), the case can be made that through time, organization and complexity result. Even rocks show increase in mineral type and quantity as time progresses. This synergy or balance between forces is what we worship.
Think about it. When we look at nature, we see birds making nests and people building houses. If we say the sun and the moon exist naturally, it is like saying birds don't make nests, they exist naturally, and people don't build houses, they exist naturally. So you realize that someone created the sun and the moon, right? Think about it. Humans can easily make bird nests, but birds cannot make houses. Because humans are a higher species than birds. Likewise, humans cannot create the sun and the earth, but God can easily create them because God is many times higher than us. Do you understand? So when you are sick, God can heal you easily because God created man in the first place, the important thing is that you pray to God so that God can heal you. Just like when you make a house, when you don't like that house, you can easily destroy it and repair it. Do you understand? You are a human so you are not qualified to know who created God because only God knows internally. If God gave you, you would know. Just like birds or other animals are not qualified to know who gave birth to you because the limits of understanding of each species are different. When God created all things including the sun, moon, animals and plants, God also created the laws that operate them. For example, when the sun and moon were created to revolve around each other, gravity came into play. For humans and animals, when you eat, you will be full. If you do not eat, you will be hungry. If you do not drink, you will be thirsty. This is what Christianity calls the law of sowing and reaping. Buddhism calls it the law of cause and effect. From the picture I describe, you can visualize all species, high and low level animals and answer all questions related to this topic easily, scientifically and logically.
I just don’t understand how you can put everything into fighting for an invisible being that you literally can’t prove exists. At best, maybe say you believe in god but just leave it at that.

READER QUESTION: My understanding is that nothing comes from nothing. For something to exist, there must be material or a component available, and for them to be available, there must be something else available. Now my question: Where did the material come from that created the Big Bang, and what happened in the first instance to create that material? Peter, 80, Australia. Unfortunately, by now even our best physics fails completely to provide answers. Until we make further progress towards a “theory of everything”, we won’t be able to give any definitive answer. The most we can say with confidence at this stage is that physics has so far found no confirmed instances of something arising from nothing. The first matter But before we get to that, let’s take a look at how “material” - physical matter - first came about. If we are aiming to explain the origins of stable matter made of atoms or molecules, there was certainly none of that around at the Big Bang - nor for hundreds of thousands of years afterwards. We do in fact have a pretty detailed understanding of how the first atoms formed out of simpler particles once conditions cooled down enough for complex matter to be stable, and how these atoms were later fused into heavier elements inside stars. But that understanding doesn’t address the question of whether something came from nothing. So let’s think further back. The first long-lived matter particles of any kind were protons and neutrons, which together make up the atomic nucleus. These came into existence around one ten-thousandth of a second after the Big Bang. Before that point, there was really no material in any familiar sense of the word. But physics lets us keep on tracing the timeline backwards - to physical processes which predate any stable matter. This takes us to the so-called “grand unified epoch.” By now, we are well into the realm of speculative physics, as we can’t produce enough energy in our experiments to probe the sort of processes that were going on at the time. But a plausible hypothesis is that the physical world was made up of a soup of short-lived elementary particles - including quarks, the building blocks of protons and neutrons. There was both matter and “antimatter” in roughly equal quantities: each type of matter particle, such as the quark, has an antimatter “mirror image” companion, which is near identical to itself, differing only in one aspect. However, matter and antimatter annihilate in a flash of energy when they meet, meaning these particles were constantly created and destroyed. But how did these particles come to exist in the first place? Quantum field theory tells us that even a vacuum, supposedly corresponding to empty spacetime, is full of physical activity in the form of energy fluctuations. These fluctuations can give rise to particles popping out, only to be disappear shortly after. This may sound like a mathematical quirk rather than real physics, but such particles have been spotted in countless experiments. The spacetime vacuum state is seething with particles constantly being created and destroyed, apparently “out of nothing”. But perhaps all this really tells us is that the quantum vacuum is (despite its name) a something rather than a nothing. The philosopher David Albert has memorably criticized accounts of the Big Bang which promise to get something from nothing in this way. Suppose we ask: where did spacetime itself arise from? Then we can go on turning the clock yet further back, into the truly ancient “Planck epoch” - a period so early in the universe’s history that our best theories of physics break down. This era occurred only one ten-millionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang. At this point, space and time themselves became subject to quantum fluctuations. Physicists ordinarily work separately with quantum mechanics, which rules the microworld of particles, and with general relativity, which applies on large, cosmic scales. But to truly understand the Planck epoch, we need a complete theory of quantum gravity, merging the two. We still don’t have a perfect theory of quantum gravity, but there are attempts - like string theory and loop quantum gravity. In these attempts, ordinary space and time are typically seen as emergent, like the waves on the surface of a deep ocean. What we experience as space and time are the product of quantum processes operating at a deeper, microscopic level - processes that don’t make much sense to us as creatures rooted in the macroscopic world. In the Planck epoch, our ordinary understanding of space and time breaks down, so we can’t any longer rely on our ordinary understanding of cause and effect either. Despite this, all candidate theories of quantum gravity describe something physical that was going on in the Planck epoch - some quantum precursor of ordinary space and time. But where did that come from? Even if causality no longer applies in any ordinary fashion, it might still be possible to explain one component of the Planck-epoch universe in terms of another. Unfortunately, by now even our best physics fails completely to provide answers. Until we make further progress towards a “theory of everything”, we won’t be able to give any definitive answer. The most we can say with confidence at this stage is that physics has so far found no confirmed instances of something arising from nothing.
I don't care "6 pence" about the fine tuning argument. Maybe there were many other universes (or bubbles as Michio Kaku says) and maybe some or all of them have collapsed. Some equations point in that direction. That's much easier for me to accept that that there is a bearded man in the skies who crated everything in 6 days.
it´s very hard to be asked to lower my capacity to reason in order to admit something is true, even worse when there is no proof that this entity intereacts with reality

not really. he mainly talks about the mechanics of science as "proof" of no God. thing is science has no saying in the matter. science is concerned with natural laws only and not philosophy.
We actually question the ever changing science to suit the ongoing rhetoric at that time.
God doesn't "mess" with science in any way at all. God is the catalyst for science, without him science could not exist. God created reality and science is the, what? Thats right, the study and discovery of that which already exists. (AKA Gods creation)
You can't prove anything in science by logic or arguments alone. Any scientific assertion needs observation and data.
That's what is true in all science. You can say that God set up those rules for any scientific assertion, and it would have to apply to God's existence, unless God wishes for it's existence to be unknown.
The existence of God would be a scientific claim. And, so one cannot prove the existence of God with logic alone.
Unless you have observations and data, and can prove correlation to an identifiable and unique being that is God, you can't prove the existence of God.
If you can demonstrate that god is real you might have a point, right now ALL the evidence that we have points to Science being a human made process. And if god created science, why is science making more non-believers than believers?

Guys, have you realize this:
1. Theory of evolution: talking about the changing process of organism
2. Randomness/chance: talking about randomness of events/universe(s)
3. Creationism : talking about all the creation that is basically directly created, not from evolution.
All of them needs the creator, here is why:
1. Evolution: needs creator that is first generating the organism(s) to go through evolution
2. Randomness/chance: needs the producer and mover of matter(s) that move randomly
3. Creationism: needs agency/creator to directly create the creations.
So, whatever Dawkins said, it always need creator. If he still insist, then he believe in magic, because he insist that "nothing can produce something". As simple as that.

There are similarities between the sequence of fossil dating and the sequence of creation events as described in the Bible, particularly in the Book of Genesis.
Here’s a comparison:
Scientific Fossil Dating
Sequence:
1. Plants (appear early in the fossil record, hundreds of millions of years ago)
2. Fish (appear around 500 million years ago: Cambrian period)
3. Birds (appear around 150 million years ago: Jurassic Period)
4. Mammals (appear most around 62 million years ago, with diversification after the extinction of dinosaurs: Tertiary Period)
5. Humans (hominins appear around 6-7 million years ago, Homo sapiens much later around 200,000 years ago: Quarternary period)
Biblical Creation Sequence (Genesis 1:1-31 and 2:1-3):
1. Plants (created on Day 3)
2. Fish and birds (created on Day 5)
3. Land animals, including mammals (created on Day 6)
4. Humans (created on Day 6)
Note: The term 'day' is used to indicate a sequence and not a literal 24-hour period. We are still in the seventh 'day,' which is a period of rest for God, meaning there is no active creation occurring.
Among all the holy books in the world, only the Bible provides accurate account of fossil timeline .
It shows that God of the Bible is the true God of the universe or the true creator.
Absolutely! But not God! Religion is just a human being's inadequate attempt to understand an ineffable being!

Myoho-Renge-Kyo (Lotus Sutra) represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave.
The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment.
The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
The most amazing and baffling thing to me is constantly hearing people who claim to believe their cognitive abilities evolved through natural selection for survival making truth claims. How can they possibly trust that their cognitive abilities evolved to know truth. Let alone expect others to accept their truth claims as truth..They do it because they don’t actually live out the ideologies they claim to believe. They borrow from deistic beliefs to make truth claims and don’t even recognize the irony.
Very well said. The biggest cop-out (I find) is to deny that atheism is a world view... it is just the default and no world view... yet atheist decide based on their atheistic viewpoint how they live, who they choose as partners, what jobs they do, whether something is good or bad... but if they admit it is a worldview, they would have to give a reason why that worldview is more valid than another, where they got any moral standard... and that is ALL subjective without a God.

@@xellie1074 yes all religious books were written by men so why not?
@@xellie1074 why do you want the one single thing that being an atheist or not addresses to be a world view. I wouldn't say theism is a world view. As an atheist, the only thing I say is I don't think there is good evidence to believe any god exists. That's where it ends. Does it affect part of how I view somethings in the world? Of course it does. I think some religious people think because they view so many things relative to their belief in whatever deity that someone who does not believe in a deity does the same thing. I would say that skepticism is a better description of my worldview. Not all atheists are skeptics. Not all theist base their whole existence on their god belief. How I treat people is independent of my belief that there is no evidence that a god exists. I don't know if this explanation helps you at all.
The reality is we all actually know, or suspect, that life started here because conditions allowed it to evolve and change due to weather, heat and the varying climate.
Homo-sapiens need to invent Gods in general as the abstract notion of a deity is the only way to make sense of their existence.

To face that alone and with no hope - and I mean real hope that includes the preservation of self - it's truly the definition of staring into the abyss.

@@heinrichv6578 Yes i can. To demonstrate this you need a definition first: Consciousness, "the state of being awake and aware of one's surroundings". Now you can test by taking any material object and see if they react to objects or actions around them. If you take a rock and make a lot of noise, shine a bright light, hit it a stick or any other action. Does it react? Now do this with a dog, a tree, a human, a chair and anything else to give you a good idea of what objects are awake and aware of the tests that you are putting it through. That is a demonstration of Consciousness.

So you realize that someone created the sun and the moon, right?
Think about it. Humans can easily make bird nests, but birds cannot make houses. Because humans are a higher species than birds. Likewise, humans cannot create the sun and the earth, but God can easily create them because God is many times higher than us. Do you understand?
So when you are sick, God can heal you easily because God created man in the first place, the important thing is that you pray to God so that God can heal you. Just like when you make a house, when you don't like that house, you can easily destroy it and repair it. Do you understand?
You are a human so you are not qualified to know who created God because only God knows internally. If God gave you, you would know. Just like birds or other animals are not qualified to know who gave birth to you because the limits of understanding of each species are different.
When God created all things including the sun, moon, animals and plants, God also created the laws that operate them. For example, when the sun and moon were created to revolve around each other, gravity came into play. For humans and animals, when you eat, you will be full. If you do not eat, you will be hungry. If you do not drink, you will be thirsty. This is what Christianity calls the law of sowing and reaping. Buddhism calls it the law of cause and effect.

"Shakespeare wrote: “There is nothing more confining than the prison we don’t know we are in.” In other words, whatever we are not conscious of can have a deep hold on us. In critical moments, we can wind up doing its bidding while believing we are making our own choices in life. We are in just such a prison of our own making when we act as if the common world of fact and figures is not only the “real world,” but also the only world.
The prison of the modern mind is partly created by the common belief that “reality” can be limited to logic, statistics, and provable facts. Not that the literal world is “unreal,” rather that it is the first level of reality and can never depict all that is truly Real. Restricting all modes of presence to a single plane of being leads to being trapped in a narrow view of life and imprisoned in the linear trap of time. Too much “hard reality” and the world becomes as if flat again; we lose touch with all that makes this earth a place of wonder and beauty and hidden possibilities.
Our world is a reflection of our own soul. Because we have learned to deny the world its soul and therefore its connection to the divine, it, too, can seem to be dying. Under the spell of literalism and the tyranny of facts and statistics, the modern legacy becomes an increasingly diminished world that has been overly quantified as well as thoroughly exploited.
The rise of literalism signals the loss of imagination underlying both the fixation with measurable facts and the fundamentalism of fanatic beliefs. Literalism reduces the world to fixed ideas and rigid dogmas while isolating people at extremes of thought, feeling, and belief. Literalism takes the mystery and the natural sense of awe out of the world and eventually takes the meaning out of life. If there is no otherworld of spirit and imagination, there can be nowhere to turn when the real world becomes disorienting, when everything around us becomes both more irrational and increasingly chaotic. When life has lost its wonder and nature has lost its living halo, imagination is the missing ingredient and the necessary remedy for the disease of literalism."
- Michael Meade, "Awakening the Soul"
Consciousness inhabits and animates creation and its creatures not unlike the power that flows through a computer to make it work in accordance with the hardware and software of the device. By this analogy, the specific physical characteristics of a creature’s body constitute the hardware, and the programming of its mind the software.
These things are important to understand because if this conceptual ground is not firm, the model we build from here will not endure, and its potential value will be lost. What all this is pointing to is that what you really are―what we all are―is an eternal, unlimited energy source capable of creating and experiencing events. What you are is this creative source, this Consciousness. Who you are is how this Consciousness works through you to express as something unique in the world.
Powerful creative Consciousness is your true and essential nature, but of course, you experience your life through the limitations of a human body, so it may not seem that you are an all-powerful being at times, or indeed ever. By its very nature, the body exists as some ‘thing’ and is, therefore, a limitation or restriction of ‘everything else possible’, to become something specific and useful―a human being. And then it must be remembered that these bodies we inhabit are a product of Mother Earth, and have developed for good reasons. Although today there are many philosophes, theories and just sheer guesses put forward to explain the purpose of our existence, none of them fully describe or satisfactorily explain the original intention for our emergence.
Some bodies born into this world have, or will develop over time, physical or mental attributes that further alter the creative opportunities and experiences available to them in a lifetime. The influence of our national culture, the general culture of our times, and the impact of our upbringing by parents and other significant people also become major influences that can place limitations on our thinking and power. Other restrictions occur as a result of the pains we might experience in life, the emotions that often get buried in the body as a result, and the accumulating limited beliefs they then give rise to. There is also the concept of ‘karmic debt’ that will limit opportunities, and this too will be discussed later in the work.
The state of your own evolved Consciousness is another factor affecting personal power. All these things limit the opportunities you have in life, and so it can be seen that although your true nature is something quite grand, you find yourself in very limiting circumstances. But it is important to keep perspective. Your essential nature is a free and unlimited Consciousness, a potential capable of eternal creation and experience. And this Consciousness was the reality before the Universe that we know emerged.

"The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books (completed),- even as We produced the first creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfil it."

Is physicist Michio Kaku describing the philosophy of theoretical physics? It seems that whatever he is explaining is not real science. What multiple universes? What does that mean?
God is a manufactured spiritual entity, that's Deriven from the depths of infinity. And that can, and should be a positive thing. As long as you know the difference between belief. And knowing.
Whether you believe or not fact is there has always been something ,you can't get something from nothing
GOD being real doesn't work against science... it works with science
Ask Galileo about that. He was threatened with death by the church because he proved that the earth revolved around the sun, not the other way around (as per the Bible).
Sir Richard Dawkins under-stands the Natural/Neutral System rather than succumb to B.S./ Belief Systems. Well done Richard Dawkins.

Yesterday I met Hulk. I sat on his shoulder. He jumped and both of us went up to 5000 feet.
I know you guys don't believe. And believe it or not, it doesn't affect my illogical and nonsense thought. HULK EXISTS.
Just replace Hulk with God. 🤣
God bless you, god lovers.
Oh dear Lord. I hope Physicists don’t give up on God anymore. Also remember what and how physicists think is beyond most : the level of abstraction is high, things are not only word Jargon!
For those that believe in God's existence: Why do you _want_ to believe in God? Why would you be so upset if God didn't exist?
Humans fear what they dont know: GOD
Hate what they dont understand: other humans
If you think your God is incredible, he creates everything in this world; so do you think every tree leaves, every grasses growing every day is controlled by your God? And without your God controlling then those leaves will be stopped growing? Let me tell you that is what I call "dumb thinking"(or a brain problem).
3:10 "we have a working theory, which we know is true"
Isn't the point of being a "theory" the fact that it has, in fact, NOT yet been proven true??? We don't call it the "theory of gravity" now do we?
By theory he meant scientific theory. Search "scientific theory" and read an article about it.
*You're damn right, Dawkins, God is damn clever!*
How so?
*DNA.*
DNA,.my friend, is code of instructions and all code comes from a coder.
And DNA is the most complex, flawless code ever written. Do you think someone dumb can write the DNA code, let alone create the building blocks that turn that DNA into a person or any form of life?
*VMAT2* gene.
@@cristovieneya8997 everything we see came about naturally no god required
@@AllenAnderson-b6tThat's a personal opinion you cannot prove. And again, the complexity of DNA is the best example of that.
*No can ever prove-or has ever proven that something comes from nothing,* because -after all, nothing is just that, nothing. *And nothing,* dear friend *is not something,* unless you refer to the word norhing, which is grammar, which in turn is a byproduct of the human brain, which in turn is product of DNA, which in turn is a program, coded by a program: God!
@@AllenAnderson-b6tImpossible, especially considering the fine tuning of the universe, and life itself. The odds of all of the laws and constants of physics, biochemistry, etc., coming about by chance, are basically zero!
Nobody's favorite brand of a god or gods has ever been proven to exist.
I love Brian and in this instance I would ask him is philosophy an interesting because that's what indulging in the existence of God is
WE CANNOT SEE GOD,,, ...GOD KNOWS WHO WE ARE...OUR ATTITUDE..OUR CHARACTER...WE THINK WE ARE GOD..
Creation can be called God. But trying against nature to create something is difficult. Time is always zero. Relative time is length mass etc. Creation never stops. So there is a creator. Universes keeps on creating things don't know for what.
READER QUESTION: My understanding is that nothing comes from nothing. For something to exist, there must be material or a component available, and for them to be available, there must be something else available. Now my question: Where did the material come from that created the Big Bang, and what happened in the first instance to create that material? Peter, 80, Australia.
Unfortunately, by now even our best physics fails completely to provide answers. Until we make further progress towards a “theory of everything”, we won’t be able to give any definitive answer. The most we can say with confidence at this stage is that physics has so far found no confirmed instances of something arising from nothing.
The first matter
But before we get to that, let’s take a look at how “material” - physical matter - first came about. If we are aiming to explain the origins of stable matter made of atoms or molecules, there was certainly none of that around at the Big Bang - nor for hundreds of thousands of years afterwards. We do in fact have a pretty detailed understanding of how the first atoms formed out of simpler particles once conditions cooled down enough for complex matter to be stable, and how these atoms were later fused into heavier elements inside stars. But that understanding doesn’t address the question of whether something came from nothing.
So let’s think further back. The first long-lived matter particles of any kind were protons and neutrons, which together make up the atomic nucleus. These came into existence around one ten-thousandth of a second after the Big Bang. Before that point, there was really no material in any familiar sense of the word. But physics lets us keep on tracing the timeline backwards - to physical processes which predate any stable matter.
This takes us to the so-called “grand unified epoch.” By now, we are well into the realm of speculative physics, as we can’t produce enough energy in our experiments to probe the sort of processes that were going on at the time. But a plausible hypothesis is that the physical world was made up of a soup of short-lived elementary particles - including quarks, the building blocks of protons and neutrons. There was both matter and “antimatter” in roughly equal quantities: each type of matter particle, such as the quark, has an antimatter “mirror image” companion, which is near identical to itself, differing only in one aspect. However, matter and antimatter annihilate in a flash of energy when they meet, meaning these particles were constantly created and destroyed.
But how did these particles come to exist in the first place? Quantum field theory tells us that even a vacuum, supposedly corresponding to empty spacetime, is full of physical activity in the form of energy fluctuations. These fluctuations can give rise to particles popping out, only to be disappear shortly after. This may sound like a mathematical quirk rather than real physics, but such particles have been spotted in countless experiments.
The spacetime vacuum state is seething with particles constantly being created and destroyed, apparently “out of nothing”. But perhaps all this really tells us is that the quantum vacuum is (despite its name) a something rather than a nothing. The philosopher David Albert has memorably criticized accounts of the Big Bang which promise to get something from nothing in this way.
Suppose we ask: where did spacetime itself arise from? Then we can go on turning the clock yet further back, into the truly ancient “Planck epoch” - a period so early in the universe’s history that our best theories of physics break down. This era occurred only one ten-millionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang. At this point, space and time themselves became subject to quantum fluctuations. Physicists ordinarily work separately with quantum mechanics, which rules the microworld of particles, and with general relativity, which applies on large, cosmic scales. But to truly understand the Planck epoch, we need a complete theory of quantum gravity, merging the two.
We still don’t have a perfect theory of quantum gravity, but there are attempts - like string theory and loop quantum gravity. In these attempts, ordinary space and time are typically seen as emergent, like the waves on the surface of a deep ocean. What we experience as space and time are the product of quantum processes operating at a deeper, microscopic level - processes that don’t make much sense to us as creatures rooted in the macroscopic world.
In the Planck epoch, our ordinary understanding of space and time breaks down, so we can’t any longer rely on our ordinary understanding of cause and effect either. Despite this, all candidate theories of quantum gravity describe something physical that was going on in the Planck epoch - some quantum precursor of ordinary space and time. But where did that come from?
Even if causality no longer applies in any ordinary fashion, it might still be possible to explain one component of the Planck-epoch universe in terms of another. Unfortunately, by now even our best physics fails completely to provide answers. Until we make further progress towards a “theory of everything”, we won’t be able to give any definitive answer. The most we can say with confidence at this stage is that physics has so far found no confirmed instances of something arising from nothing.
Nothing got bored one day and created something lol.
I don't care "6 pence" about the fine tuning argument. Maybe there were many other universes (or bubbles as Michio Kaku says) and maybe some or all of them have collapsed. Some equations point in that direction. That's much easier for me to accept that that there is a bearded man in the skies who crated everything in 6 days.
