@@derhafi You use the word “demonstrating” as though it means only one thing - material demonstration. As such, this is a narrow view of reality. If I want you to convince me to believe in gravity, I shouldn’t be asking for philosophical evidence. Likewise, if you want me to convince you about the existence of an immaterial, invisible, transcendent Being, it’d be pretty stupid for you to ask for material, visible, finite evidence. By the way, Jesus of Nazareth already demonstrated God’s existence. I mean, He literally was here, yet people crucified Him. Also, you seem to be under the impression that the evidence for God rests upon disproving Darwinism and abiogenesis. That is not the case. We *know* from our uniform experience that information comes only from a mind, and design comes only from a Designer, and engineering comes only from an Engineer. Just as you say that the existence of God isn’t proven by disproving Darwinian evolution and abiogenesis, neither is Darwinism and abiogenesis proven by attempting to debunk ID arguments. But to just press upon you one truth: since we *know* that the universe and life as we know it did NOT begin by blind, undirected natural processes, then there’s only one other alternative - intelligent, directed, supernatural processes (by supernatural, I mean that it requires intervention, an interruption of nature). This is evidence for God. There is One who is above all who was responsible for creating everything. As for suffering and death and decay, Christians have a perfectly rational explanation for it - God cursed the entire cosmos because of man’s sin. As a result, we suffer and die and decay and return to dust.
When it comes to God, Christians are timid or afraid to use the intellectual aspects of the Bible to defend the scriptures which is the supremacy of God's word and instructions to our lives. We should not be afraid of scientific and technological advances. Science, Bible and God do mix together well. It is the worldviews that make the difference. From the biblical point of view it resonates perfectly with the statements "in the beginning was the Word ... and the Word was God .... All things came to be through Him " ( John 1: 1 - 3 ) . We live in a information based Universe of which scientists are able to do science, where does all that information comes from ? When you see a word or information you infer a mind so what mind is behind the information fill universe ? First thing to notice is that human reason and understanding did not create the universe. This point is so obvious that at first it might seem trivial but, but it is in fact, of fundamental importance when we comes to assess the validity of our cognitive facilities. Not only did we not create the universe, but we did not create our own powers of reason either. We can develop our rational faculty by use, but we did not originate them. God as an explanation of our existence is the best inference because of information embedded in the physical world and including ourselves with DNA.

Craig Venture (synthetic biology) said " it's the software that makes the hardware" and Wheeler coined the phrase "it from bit". We are witnessing a paradigm shift in thinking and you both are adding to it. The Word has spoken a word. God bless you both.

i am 60yrs from becoming_ a Christian. Then Science was so difficult to reconcile with faith. Faith still stood firm. In the past few years, research has 'His Handiwork' discovered (growing). Science is like a telescope and microscope peering into the workshop of The Almighty.
I have listened to this video five times now. These guys are way into this and it is exciting to hear such in depth detail. So, it seems likely that any beginning mutations would be "selected out" or corrected long before any of the enzymes, amino acids, and proteins could reliably assemble anywhere in the body of a given life form and offer any physical advantage for more capable procreation. In other words there would be nothing to "select for" that would not have been there already. So, at this point I am not very convinced that random mutation followed by natural selection is how the Earth's bio diversity came to be.
the they basically appeal to the all powerful, all knowing, life friendly SELECTOR without saying that the attibutes of such a selector has to be like that for OOL. your chemist selector metaphor is perfect dr.tour
Jesus is the ONLY hope and love humanity ever needs. There is none other who is the only way to life after this life. He created everything that has life in it. Oh, He is so amazing and so personal, and so holy and just and merciful, and ...we cannot write it all down.
I am a Christian only, literally ONLY because first, God called me and second, the evidence for God I could not refute. I am the weakest poorest Christian you could ever meet. Yet Christ still will save me because I hang onto Him like a man hanging onto a life preserver in a storm. The paradox, if that's the right word is that I can only hang on because He gives me the strength and will to hang on.
Ok show me one eye witness account of your Jesus, off you go, I'll wait shall I? Your Jesus is fiction, nothing more. James Tour is a fraud and knows nothing about the historicity of Jesus.
@@davidweeks3981 Obviously any eyewitness would long be dead. But if you want historical evidences: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_on_Jesus Yes it's just Wikipedia. But the sources are annotated. To claim Jesus is fiction, you would have to refute all of that.
M yup Jesus is fiction, nothing you have tried to show here has proven otherwise, case closed Nothing eye witness at all and Tour still a fraud, so nothing new.
@@davidweeks3981 And you have brought zero , nothing of substance, to defend any of your accusations. Go ahead. List them all here so you can be cross examined. Show your scholarly and intellectual prowess. If you can't, which is almost certain, please spare yourself further humilation and retreat to your darwinist religion.
No eye witnesses of Evolution either. Nor any verifiable hard scientific proof. None. You should examine and realize the pitiful irony of your own demands.
I'm guessing about 99% of evolutionary biologists would When asked whether "humans have evolved over time," 98% of all AAAS members said yes, and 99% of working PhD scientists and 99% of active research scientists all said yes. [Rainie2015]. That makes 1% who wouldn't
@@nosegrindv4951 Think you missed the point then. Real science doesn't take ID or creationism seriously as indicated by the survey, if you don't agree then take it up with the AAAS (AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE!!)
Dr. Tour,, Dr. Miller, greetings! I'd like to add that, according to a lecture about coronaviruses, there is a phenomenon that demonstrates that there is information to produce at least one other protein not encoded in the " first layer" genome, and it's a functional protein, and that layer of information is created after a slippage of the mRNA in relation to the ribosomes; that region of the viral mRNA is called pseudo gene, as far as I remember and it works in a similar way as a frameshift mutation but it is as if we skip one or more of the first letters of a book and another entire story is there intertwined with the story that begins with the first letter of the first word... talking about intelligent design! The Bible states that nothing was created without Jesus, He co created all life!
@@beckmack1994 google James Tour liar for Jesus, there’s plenty there Conflating science and religion is never a good idea and Tour should know that. Trying to wedge Jesus into everything he does is not scientific
David Weeks you’re upset that times are changing. This isn’t the 1950s anymore where science shut out God and closed the door. Every day that goes by science shows the need of a creator more and more. And scientists and people such as yourself hate that, but the door is opened now and dr tour is fighting a closed minded system that’s been unchanging for 70 years! AKA origin of life
@@ashunbound Tell you what, lets say that all of science is wrong and you're right, tell me how you intelligent design works? Where does it start? the first cell? the first animal? the first human? are all things designed or just the first few? did "it" intervene at the first cell, DNA or RNA? So explain to me your "Origin of life", promise I won't laugh, as you said it isn't the 1950's anymore and we don't believe in your utter BS.
Absolutely amazing video (as most are ), im really glad to see the thermodynamic impossibilities of OoL as most completely skip these well known laws. I love thermo only second to the biochemistry as a subject so its nice to see this explored in depth. I wish everyone was required to watch videos like this that blindly believe in their fairy tales of life spontaneously forming; its an utterly obsurd idea.
I was just watching a report on the discovery of the the 40k sensory nuerites in the heart hosted by Gregg Braden. I thought of your work and hoped you might explore that in your lectures since they seem related to explain science still cannot explain so much about the so very unique human.
Is Mr. James Tour acquainted with the work of St. Seraphim Rouse and what he thinks of him and if not let him do it. Greetings and admiration for the attitude towards what we Orthodox call "the word through which everything that became ... has become ..."
But what we have with evolutionary biologists, such as Bret Weinstein, is that when they have discovered that life has optimal design, such as discussed at 39:00, that just increases their amazement at the wonder of evolution. Evolution becomes the God and they worship at its feet.
That’s precisely the problem, and when you refer to the primary literature... it is covered with this type of circular reasoning.... ‘Natural selection must have found a selectable pathway’... even when the evidence shows the contrary. They assume hypotheticals... and by doing that, they make the theory invulnerable... and therefore unfalsifiable. Yet that’s precisely one of the demarcation criterion’s they hold against Design... Well come on guys, there’s two different sets of rules here, one for the home team and one for the away team.
Sigh. They told us not to believe in fairy tales, but they sure have no problem believing that nothing (i.e. no agency, no intelligence) designed everything.
Something I've noticed on social media when dissuading origins of life. Very often Abiogenesis is waved about like some sort of magical sword which instantly destroys all ID/Creationist arguments. Abiogenesis...Abiogenesis...Abiogenesis They shout.
Abiogenesis is now my go to to discredit materialism empirically. I love when they go there themselves. My hard anti-evolution/Darwinism arguments are tied up in algorithmic arguments, and there are too few people who can think algorithmically and/or can't/won't confuse themselves into a false solution.
@@2strokesimulation68 Thing is in the mid 19th century, when Materialist view really got going, you could have made a good argument for Materialism, based on what was known. As time has gone on and we have learned more and more about the universe, those argument have gotten weaker and weaker. Until today it seems Nonsense is Nonsense, no mater how it is put. As someone who really wants to know The Truth, there are 5 words I keep in my mind. But..I...Could...Be...Wrong. They (Atheists/Naturalists/Materialists) Could be right..I don't like so. It makes no sense. I wonder if late at night, with no one around they question it also.
@@2strokesimulation68 Listen, I've been called many things, RARELY has it been I'm the brightest bulb on the tree. I just want some simple easy to understand answers to 3 small simple questions. 1. How do you get Something from Nothing? 2. How do you get Life from Non-Life? 3. What happened to the Body? (of Jesus) So far The Bible gives me the Best Answers. By Best I mean answers that require the Smallest Leap Of Faith. But..I...Could...Be...Wrong.
@@stevenwiederholt7000 Oh, I was agreeing with you...did you think I was disagreeing with you? I know my replies are a bit superfluous (ever use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice?) Materialism ends at the beginning of the Universe. It can't go past there. Even posited "nothings" are only "nothings" to the materialist who is always lagging at least a frame behind scientific reality. I work on simulations. If the nothing would require a function and/or state data to represent, it's something. Is there even such a thing as "Nothing"? If we reduce space to a relativistic potential function between neighbors on a topology, there's no such thing as "empty space", it's merely a visual separation, yet another useful abstraction of reality by the incredible and beautiful firmware God has gifted us with.
Here another large problem. Protocol design. To have communication, you need a protocol that both sides of the conversation agree on at all times. If you update the protocol on one side, the other side needs to have the same version to understand it. Protocols are also complex as the receiver essentially needs to process packets the equal-but-opposite of the sender. Extremely complex to implement with the highest accuracy required. However with selection and random mutation, this is exactly opposite of what is needed to properly Version any protocols and have them function. Small errors (or mutations) in the sending or receiving logic will destroy the protocol - not just hinder it. To Version a protocol, you would also need to change the sending logic *and* the receiving logic at the same time, so you would need extremely fine coordinated mutation(s) that somehow just happen somehow. Then you also need coordinated changes to supporting data structures, memory storage, transport mechanics, etc. I mean come on. Are you kidding me naturalists? This is just one simple example. Amazing complexity required at the very beginning of life, not hacked on as an after thought.
And for a long period of time, the "engines" are more complex then simple cell it is trying to bootstrap. So back to the Eigen's Paradox. This single question torpedo's all arguments for natural selection. The engines also need a signaling mechanism, protocols, and control systems before doing anything.
Neither is Dawkins and look at him lol! The man freely admits he is clueless about biochemistry yet he happily spouts books of just-so fairytales to explain ‘evolution’ of everything. Why even bother doing science from this point on? Dawkins has already explained how every animal evolved lol
Professor Tour, your love for Ha Meshiach Yeshua is so infectious it makes me love Yeshua more. I Love Thee Ha Meshiach Yeshua, you are my everything. - Amen.
@@Jdelli0916 It's really good to know. I used to debate atheists who always asked for any scientist who can believe in the Bible. I didn't have much on my list, but now I have plenty.
Taking into account that the whole science was founded by christians (vast majority religious priests), that the vast majority of scientists who have won a nobel prize were Judeo-christians and that the vast majority currently do consider not only as a conceptual book, but an accurated one, the ones who must be ashamed are those who don´t consider the Gospel.
@@tomashull9805 Forgiveness and redemption if we believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Second Question: If two eminent scientists from Iran conducted the same research and came up with the same results, would they conclude the same American designer god as Dr Tour and Dr Miller? How about two Hindu academics - if they conclude ‘designer’ and ‘designed’, then which ‘god’ is it? The same ‘god’?
Dr. Tour, what is your personal view on the creation? Are you a biblical creationist (6,000-10,000 year earth),or are you okay with the models that cosmology, geology, and evolutionary bilology provide? I am just interested in your viewpoint and interpretation on science. Thanks.
He is Old Earth. The fossil record is accurate. Evolution/Change has indeed been taking place for millions of years. Man did not evolve. Instead, were part of special creation. See Dr. Hugh Ross - PhD Astronomer and Pastor. There are a ton of videos and he has written more than a dozen books. They are of like minds and dedicated to Christ.

I have listened to this video five times now. These guys are way into this and it is exciting to hear such in depth detail. So, it seems likely that any beginning mutations would be "selected out" or
corrected long before any of the enzymes, amino acids, and proteins could reliably assemble anywhere in the body of a given life form and offer any physical advantage for more capable procreation. In other
words there would be nothing to "select for" that would not have been there already. So, at this point I am not very convinced that random mutation followed by natural selection is how the Earth's bio diversity came to be.
Amen. God bless you both.
Meet you on the way up.
Lizzy from Aus 🎺👍🧡🦘😍👆🙏
the they basically appeal to the all powerful, all knowing, life friendly SELECTOR without saying that the attibutes of such a selector has to be like that for OOL. your chemist selector metaphor is perfect dr.tour
Jesus is the ONLY hope and love humanity ever needs. There is none other who is the only way to life after this life. He created everything that has life in it. Oh, He is so amazing and so personal, and so holy and just and merciful, and ...we cannot write it all down.
I am a Christian only, literally ONLY because first, God called me and second, the evidence for God I could not refute. I am the weakest poorest Christian you could ever meet. Yet Christ still will save me because I hang onto Him like a man hanging onto a life preserver in a storm. The paradox, if that's the right word is that I can only hang on because He gives me the strength and will to hang on.
James, Jesus has left us all plenty of eyewitnesses. Jesus needs you to provide the science. That witness he did not leave us.
Ok show me one eye witness account of your Jesus, off you go, I'll wait shall I?
Your Jesus is fiction, nothing more. James Tour is a fraud and knows nothing about the historicity of Jesus.
@@davidweeks3981
Obviously any eyewitness would long be dead. But if you want historical evidences:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_on_Jesus
Yes it's just Wikipedia. But the sources are annotated.
To claim Jesus is fiction, you would have to refute all of that.
M yup Jesus is fiction, nothing you have tried to show here has proven otherwise, case closed
Nothing eye witness at all and Tour still a fraud, so nothing new.
@@davidweeks3981 And you have brought zero , nothing of substance, to defend any of your accusations. Go ahead. List them all here so you can be cross examined. Show your scholarly and intellectual prowess. If you can't, which is almost certain, please spare yourself further humilation and retreat to your darwinist religion.
No eye witnesses of Evolution either.
Nor any verifiable hard scientific proof. None.
You should examine and realize the pitiful irony of your own demands.
Who could argue against this?
I'm guessing about 99% of evolutionary biologists would
When asked whether "humans have evolved over time," 98% of all AAAS members said yes, and 99% of working PhD scientists and 99% of active research scientists all said yes. [Rainie2015].
That makes 1% who wouldn't
@@ramptonarsecandle its just a guess.
@@ramptonarsecandle I asked who could, not who would.
@@daddada2984 what is?
@@nosegrindv4951 Think you missed the point then. Real science doesn't take ID or creationism seriously as indicated by the survey, if you don't agree then take it up with the AAAS (AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE!!)
Looking forward to it .☀️
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is coming any second ❤️❤️❤️
Dr. Tour,, Dr. Miller, greetings! I'd like to add that, according to a lecture about coronaviruses, there is a phenomenon that demonstrates that there is information to produce at least one other protein not encoded in the " first layer" genome, and it's a functional protein, and that layer of information is created after a slippage of the mRNA in relation to the ribosomes; that region of the viral mRNA is called pseudo gene, as far as I remember and it works in a similar way as a frameshift mutation but it is as if we skip one or more of the first letters of a book and another entire story is there intertwined with the story that begins with the first letter of the first word... talking about intelligent design! The Bible states that nothing was created without Jesus, He co created all life!
Do have any video talking about the the science of mRNA vaccine? Do you recommend it? I need more info
@@derhafi 🤷♀️
Dr James Tour is upsetting atheists all over the internet. lol Jesus is Risen!
@@settledown444 Examples?
@@beckmack1994 google James Tour liar for Jesus, there’s plenty there
Conflating science and religion is never a good idea and Tour should know that.
Trying to wedge Jesus into everything he does is not scientific
David Weeks you’re upset that times are changing. This isn’t the 1950s anymore where science shut out God and closed the door. Every day that goes by science shows the need of a creator more and more. And scientists and people such as yourself hate that, but the door is opened now and dr tour is fighting a closed minded system that’s been unchanging for 70 years! AKA origin of life
@@ashunbound Tell you what, lets say that all of science is wrong and you're right, tell me how you intelligent design works? Where does it start? the first cell? the first animal? the first human? are all things designed or just the first few? did "it" intervene at the first cell, DNA or RNA? So explain to me your "Origin of life", promise I won't laugh, as you said it isn't the 1950's anymore and we don't believe in your utter BS.
@@ashunbound ruclips.net/video/SixyZ7DkSjA/видео.html
Absolutely amazing video (as most are ), im really glad to see the thermodynamic impossibilities of OoL as most completely skip these well known laws. I love thermo only second to the biochemistry as a subject so its nice to see this explored in depth.
I wish everyone was required to watch videos like this that blindly believe in their fairy tales of life spontaneously forming; its an utterly obsurd idea.
End times prod. Sent me just subbed excited 2 hear more
I was just watching a report on the discovery of the the 40k sensory nuerites in the heart hosted by Gregg Braden. I thought of your work and hoped you might explore that in your lectures since they seem related to explain science still cannot explain so much about the so very unique human.
Is Mr. James Tour acquainted with the work of St. Seraphim Rouse and what he thinks of him and if not let him do it. Greetings and admiration for the attitude towards what we Orthodox call "the word through which everything that became ... has become ..."
Thank you James. Your videos were instrumental in pulling me back from the edge of being swallowed up by evolution.
I am not christian but they make so much sense
Cutting edge information.
Faith is belief without evidence. “Religion is the daughter of hope and fear explaining to ignorance the nature of the unknowable.” Ambrose Bierce -
But what we have with evolutionary biologists, such as Bret Weinstein, is that when they have discovered that life has optimal design, such as discussed at 39:00, that just increases their amazement at the wonder of evolution. Evolution becomes the God and they worship at its feet.
That’s precisely the problem, and when you refer to the primary literature... it is covered with this type of circular reasoning.... ‘Natural selection must have found a selectable pathway’... even when the evidence shows the contrary. They assume hypotheticals... and by doing that, they make the theory invulnerable... and therefore unfalsifiable. Yet that’s precisely one of the demarcation criterion’s they hold against Design... Well come on guys, there’s two different sets of rules here, one for the home team and one for the away team.
Sigh. They told us not to believe in fairy tales, but they sure have no problem believing that nothing (i.e. no agency, no intelligence) designed everything.
And what is the driving force behind evolution and where did it come from?
Something I've noticed on social media when dissuading origins of life. Very often Abiogenesis is waved about like some sort of magical sword which instantly destroys all ID/Creationist arguments. Abiogenesis...Abiogenesis...Abiogenesis They shout.
Abiogenesis is now my go to to discredit materialism empirically. I love when they go there themselves. My hard anti-evolution/Darwinism arguments are tied up in algorithmic arguments, and there are too few people who can think algorithmically and/or can't/won't confuse themselves into a false solution.
@@2strokesimulation68
Thing is in the mid 19th century, when Materialist view really got going, you could have made a good argument for Materialism, based on what was known. As time has gone on and we have learned more and more about the universe, those argument have gotten weaker and weaker. Until today it seems Nonsense is Nonsense, no mater how it is put.
As someone who really wants to know The Truth, there are 5 words I keep in my mind. But..I...Could...Be...Wrong. They (Atheists/Naturalists/Materialists) Could be right..I don't like so. It makes no sense. I wonder if late at night, with no one around they question it also.
@@stevenwiederholt7000 Skepticism starts with one's self. Empiricism requires faith.
@@2strokesimulation68
Listen, I've been called many things, RARELY has it been I'm the brightest bulb on the tree. I just want some simple easy to understand answers to 3 small simple questions.
1. How do you get Something from Nothing?
2. How do you get Life from Non-Life?
3. What happened to the Body? (of Jesus)
So far The Bible gives me the Best Answers. By Best I mean answers that require the Smallest Leap Of Faith.
But..I...Could...Be...Wrong.
@@stevenwiederholt7000 Oh, I was agreeing with you...did you think I was disagreeing with you? I know my replies are a bit superfluous (ever use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice?)
Materialism ends at the beginning of the Universe. It can't go past there. Even posited "nothings" are only "nothings" to the materialist who is always lagging at least a frame behind scientific reality. I work on simulations. If the nothing would require a function and/or state data to represent, it's something.
Is there even such a thing as "Nothing"? If we reduce space to a relativistic potential function between neighbors on a topology, there's no such thing as "empty space", it's merely a visual separation, yet another useful abstraction of reality by the incredible and beautiful firmware God has gifted us with.
Here another large problem. Protocol design. To have communication, you need a protocol that both sides of the conversation agree on at all times. If you update the protocol on one side, the other side needs to have the same version to understand it. Protocols are also complex as the receiver essentially needs to process packets the equal-but-opposite of the sender. Extremely complex to implement with the highest accuracy required. However with selection and random mutation, this is exactly opposite of what is needed to properly Version any protocols and have them function. Small errors (or mutations) in the sending or receiving logic will destroy the protocol - not just hinder it. To Version a protocol, you would also need to change the sending logic *and* the receiving logic at the same time, so you would need extremely fine coordinated mutation(s) that somehow just happen somehow. Then you also need coordinated changes to supporting data structures, memory storage, transport mechanics, etc. I mean come on. Are you kidding me naturalists? This is just one simple example. Amazing complexity required at the very beginning of life, not hacked on as an after thought.
59:40 for probability of simplest life to occur spontaneously
I praise GOD for people like you.
GOD gave you intelligence that expresses the unmatchable intelligence that GOD has... thanks be to GOD
And for a long period of time, the "engines" are more complex then simple cell it is trying to bootstrap. So back to the Eigen's Paradox. This single question torpedo's all arguments for natural selection. The engines also need a signaling mechanism, protocols, and control systems before doing anything.
Neither of the two here are qualified to talk on evolutionary biology, yet to listen to them you'd think they'd invented it! Priceless.
Neither is Dawkins and look at him lol! The man freely admits he is clueless about biochemistry yet he happily spouts books of just-so fairytales to explain ‘evolution’ of everything. Why even bother doing science from this point on? Dawkins has already explained how every animal evolved lol
This is before biology
Professor Tour, your love for Ha Meshiach Yeshua is so infectious it makes me love Yeshua more. I Love Thee Ha Meshiach Yeshua, you are my everything.
- Amen.
I think listing references to the new fluctuation theorems might be useful to many
A practicing scientist who is *NOT* ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
There are actually a lot of good scientists who are also good Christians.
@@Jdelli0916
It's really good to know. I used to debate atheists who always asked for any scientist who can believe in the Bible. I didn't have much on my list, but now I have plenty.
Taking into account that the whole science was founded by christians (vast majority religious priests), that the vast majority of scientists who have won a nobel prize were Judeo-christians and that the vast majority currently do consider not only as a conceptual book, but an accurated one, the ones who must be ashamed are those who don´t consider the Gospel.
What is this Gopel of Jesus exactly?
@@tomashull9805
Forgiveness and redemption if we believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Colossians 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
Second Question:
If two eminent scientists from Iran conducted the same research and came up with the same results, would they conclude the same American designer god as Dr Tour and Dr Miller?
How about two Hindu academics - if they conclude ‘designer’ and ‘designed’, then which ‘god’ is it? The same ‘god’?
I would like to know what he thinks about a Whole Food Plant Based lifestyle.
Dr. Tour, what is your personal view on the creation? Are you a biblical creationist (6,000-10,000 year earth),or are you okay with the models that cosmology, geology, and evolutionary bilology provide? I am just interested in your viewpoint and interpretation on science. Thanks.
He is Old Earth. The fossil record is accurate. Evolution/Change has indeed been taking place for millions of years. Man did not evolve. Instead, were part of special creation. See Dr. Hugh Ross - PhD Astronomer and Pastor. There are a ton of videos and he has written more than a dozen books. They are of like minds and dedicated to Christ.

These are accepted FACTS.
There are a lot more.
