This wonderful brother John Lennox has devoted much of his life to persuade unbelievers of the resurrection of Christ and the power of his word. I'm sure many atheists have gotten serious headaches from John's powerful logic and faith. Please pray for him and those that listen to his lectures that God will open the ears of the unbelievers and they would be saved. I think this is God's will that he continue, not many are able to do what he does and are as respected as he is. Thank God for this man and all others who have given their lives in the belief that Christ died to save sinners Show less
John Lenox is an inspiration. We must follow the evidence where it leads. Obviously, it leads beyond the naturalistic world view into the supernatural. There is God. And like Robert Jastrow brilliantly puts it, "For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries".
I have been watching a series of RUclips videos of lectures by a philosophy professor, who is most likely an atheist, where he is talking about the intangible attribute called consciousness. The longer he talks the more he makes the case for a human soul without even realizing what he is doing. That is not surprising when one realizes that the letters PhD are a sign of educational achievement, not a measure of intelligence, understanding, or true insight, no matter how much elitist professors believe it and want it to be so. My point is that the Philosophers need to be humble and admit that they do not have the answers and in that capacity should not be dictating what their students should believe.
@@PersianApologetics Did you also ask for evidence at the time they were indoctrinating you with the supernatural fairy tales, fictions, & myths? Or, did you just believe them because they showed you a primitive book that claims itself to be the holy truth?
I feel for the Professor of Good. Arguing with fools must be quite a laborious task. He has the Divine patience to suffer them so well. It’s like arguing if the sun ☀️ is up in the middle of the day. What Godly patience. I’m not blessed with that particular spiritual and faithful talent as he is. May ABBA prosper his Spirit unto eternity.

"Had I not come and done the works that no one else did, you would not be guilty of sin" -Christ "And even greater works than these you will do, because I am returning to the Father and I will do anything that you ask in my name so that the Father will be glorified in the son" -Christ
Yes JESUS did signs and wonders that Only The Messiah could and would do. Opening the eyes of someone born blind, cleansing lepers, casting out a deaf and dumb evil spirit and raising someone dead more than 3 days! Jesus is Lord
If is clever, when you claim to tell the truth, that if you don’t believe them, some higher power will punish you eternally. I can see how that works 2000 years ago. It is beyond me that it stil works in this century.
Are you saying the genius rhetoric of George Carlin was foolish?? Just remember your not in THE Club only the Harvard contract operators… and whoever God is doesn’t require our homage- she/ he already KNOWS who what where and when we are ALWAYS-
As a scientist and a deeply Christ-centered person, I find that the two have never been mutually exclusive; rather, they show themselves to be wonderfully complementary. I have not compromised either paradigm throughout my life- indeed, the two have enriched my existence immensely. I can see, however, how the narrow-minded zealot could see the two as intolerant of the other, and that is truly tragic.
Wow, you actually say nothing. Christ-centered? You are not religious? You believe in the existence of a historical figure only, or you accept him as god incarnate? What is complimentary between Christ and science? It's entirely possible you haven't "compromised" any "Paradigm" because you have always considered them to be (separate) paradigms. That is.. you may have never considered using the same logic you used for science, for (whatever you accept about) Jesus. But sure.. good start to call people who don't share your views "zealots" and "intolerant"
Are you REALLY a Christ centred person?? Ultra rare to find....LOL A real Christ-centred person would not even need to tell the world that he is, people will see you are if you are.......
Nope... The definition of a miracle is an event that transcends natural laws... Both of our definitions are similar, but yours paints the picture as though they never happen at all...

“And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”” (Mark 16:17-18 NIV)
In the quantum world, miracles take place all the time: particles pop in and out of existence, individual atoms might fall up instead of down and anything might occur as long as the first law of thermodynamics remains inviolate. Such events are explained by quantum mechanics. However, while QM might explain things mathematically, the actual mechanism by which such events take place lies forever unexplained so the heart of physics, and the heart of the physical world, appears to be based on the everyday miracle of quantum physics.
Unbelievers are incapable of seeing Him who is invisible. But when the eyes of their hearts are opened, they can receive Him. We need more like Lennox to speak the Truth.
Dr. Lennox is truly a brilliant mind of our time! He may not be perfect, as none of us are, but he sure is a great defender of our faith! I'm an extreme sceptic that was an atheist for a long time(not that long, only a few years😅), but have recently been brought to the truth! Thank God that the new atheism movement is finally dying! It has mislead too many gullible souls.
I thoroughly enjoyed the interview between Lennox and Dawkins; the interview in which Lennox got Dawkins to admit he (Dawkins) lied in his book "The God Delusion". Dawkins finally admitted that he was incorrect and willfully published a false claim when he stated, "the vast majority of Scholars deny Jesus ever existed". Actually, the vast majority of Scholars admit Jesus was a real person that lived and died around 33ad. Thanks be to God!

If miracles are the work of God then they are impossible. But sometimes a physical problem can be abandoned by medics as impossible yet the sufferer recovers. That is not divine interference but simply the complex nature of the individual human constitution. These recoveries do not contradict science but simply extend it. Science always accepts the apparent impossible if it has real foundations. It will never refuse a logical conclusion based on real premises.
A religious miracle is absolutely not possible. If by a miracle you mean the probability of an outcome that is not likely to happen than yes miracles can happen. Though the chances of them occurring are not likely just highly improbable.

Jumping to conclusions whenever something happens that has a low apriori likelihood of happening. My dog survived a fall from the 7th floor... Jesus is back on earth.
No... That just means that your dog survived... But a 7-story drop? Seems like a miracle to me😅 btw this is only a single, tiny aspect of theism or, in Dr. Lenox's case, Christianity, to prove whether or not miracles are true, by definition meaning something that transcends natural law. Also, by an atheist's naturalistic worldview, there has already been a miracle! The creation of the universe 13.8 billion years ago from nothing by nothing for nothing through nothing!
@@陈用大 The problem is not whether "miracles" (things that seem to escape natural law) occur, but what you claim caused it Even saying it must be supernatural or transcendental is an assumption. No atheïst believes as doctrine of being atheist that the universe was created 13.8 billion years ago. Not from nothing not by nothing not for nothing.. And you don't seem to notice that your definition of miracle has changed between your two statements. It's theist projection.
John Lennox (across a number of videos) seems to lean on the gospel of John for "evidence". He must know that the gospel author is unknown, was likely written 70 years after Jesus died and specifically designed to convince superstitious and god-fearing audiences of Jesus's divinity.
Why do you pray? If God knows everything then he knows every single future outcome. Prayer will not affect that outcome. Only an imperfect being would change his mind so meaningful prayer and an all powerful God are illogical.
Are miracles possible? You exist in the world in the universe that God created for your benefit before he sends you to his judgment day on sin. That's a great miracle, but only has value when you obey God and give your life to Jesus Christ and ask him to forgive your sins and obey God.
Someone who does not know that "fantastic" means the stuff of *fantasy* came up with the title"John Lennox's *Fantastic* Lecture" . Fair enough, the god fantasy is indeed a fantasy; *what_Else*could it be?
To save everyone 14mins , John says that Miracles are possible, if you are willing to believe they are... In other words, it takes a leap of faith and then you're good to go , no evidence needed.
Inecaeutriuriousabout Christianity I comparison to mutism, however NCH smcursory reading revealed that most religions at their founding had for the most part the same lessons o morality , ethics and integrity which reinforc s the natural world even paganism relied heavily on the natural world
As much as I admire and respect Professor Lennox, it drives me crazy that he avoids the main question regarding miracles: If they are real, then how come nobody can actually perform them? Jesus is very clear on the matter. If ye have the faith "like a grain of mustard seed", then you can perform miracles. The resurection was a singularity perhaps, but advocates of God performed miracles quite frequently in the Bible. Peter walked on water. But nobody can today. Why not?
Bill Davis Where's the proof that God won't answer your prayer? He also said to cut off your hand if it causes you to sin. Not to be taken literally. Quit kidding yourself. It's very simple. Because we're not God. Jesus was God in flesh, come to die for your sins, so u can have peace with God. Beleive and be saved. He also saves your corrupt mind as well. Leave that garbage behind, he offers abundant life.
Good question. History has many examples though of miracles. The answer to your question is very simple. Every saint stressed it ad nauseum. No saint ever performs a miracle. The miracle (ie the power) comes from God. Study the wonder worker St. John Bosco. Very well documented life. A major figure in the Catholic Church’s eduction of the poor.
A miracle is a salamander growing a lost limb. Why can,t a human do that.God obviously didn't get his priorities right.You have to feel sorry for all believers.
Yes, raising a stinking corpse back to life is an exagerration because people habitually raise from the dead naturally. Same with producing matter out of nothing, enough to feed 5000 people - it's just a slight exaggeration of what physicists do in the hadron collider.
I believe in Science. I believe in the God of the Universe. I don't believe in miracles. I believe everything that happens in the physical Universe has an explanation. I believe the God of the Universe encourages us to seek the truth and wants us to understand His Creation. He would not make us to be ignorant fools.
My dad always said: “Let people have weird hobbies as long as they don’t believe that an extraterrestrial conjured up our universe out of nothing from the 5th dimension.” But then I had to tell my dad: “But that’s what they believe and they called this alien GOD.” My dad totally shocked:: "Dealing with religion is dealing with insanity."
Lennox is kindly and articulate but also spends too much time on theory. He can believe in any gods he wishes but he cannot explain why his god only performed miracles for the benefit of people living thousands of years ago in pre-scientific days.
Newton believed in God but not Jesus. Eventually fewer and fewer scientists believed in God or felt safe to declare it. Was that beause of anti Christian propaganda or political and social freedoms from the enlightenment?
Of course miracles are possible...humans can apparently subconsciously perform miracles by tapping into unknown mysterious aspect of reality that gives them special powers. That's why miracles are so intermittent and so...well...inconsistent and sometimes downright trivial. I hear tell of some friar who was able 'miraculously' to fly about...FLY ABOUT? Why? Just for show...God helped him fly about for entertainment. We see someone claiming they woke up with a head ache. They prayed and by the time of their 10 am brunch, it was gone. Praise God. Meanwhile someone else lives with decades of severe chronic pain all the while continually praying...whole churches continuously praying and...nada. The person with the headache just subconsciously knew how to tap into the mysterious miraculous forces that guard the world. The other...just didn't 'have the power.'
The question atheists don't answer is "is atheism a logical fallacy?". Atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. Future generations would understand the atheist logical fallacy because the truth is easy to understand being honest and impossible lying to oneself. To understand atheism is a logical fallacy you have to understand why the most emblematic remark of atheism is "who created god?", with the intelligent creator of the universe written in lower case and why the debate "evolution or creation" is fallacious. It is important that you understand I am not asking you to agree with me and i am censored. To end the war in Ukraine the discovery that atheism is a logical fallacy has to be news. I want to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Supernatural is only the natural that we haven't understood yet...ascribing manifestation of anything supernatural to a biblical god is is an intellectual cop out..

No atheïst believes as doctrine of being atheist that the universe was created 13.8 billion years ago. Not from nothing not by nothing not for nothing.. And you don't seem to notice that your definition of miracle has changed between your two statements.
It's theist projection.
No. Only rare happenings that some like to call miracles.
John Lennox (across a number of videos) seems to lean on the gospel of John for "evidence". He must know that the gospel author is unknown, was likely written 70 years after Jesus died and specifically designed to convince superstitious and god-fearing audiences of Jesus's divinity.
Could he be the modern day Pall
If miracles RE not possible or no longer possible why do we pray the kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Why do you pray? If God knows everything then he knows every single future outcome. Prayer will not affect that outcome. Only an imperfect being would change his mind so meaningful prayer and an all powerful God are illogical.
I found my car keys.
Good job!😂
If Kendall Jenner fell in love with me and thought I was a great catch I would get on my knees and pray to God that miracles are truly possible.
That’s your problem you are your own god.
@@P.H.888 Profound nonsense. Thanks a lot.
🕊🌎🕊🕊sharing🫂thankYOU
If religious fairy tales can fool an emotional Prof Lennox, imagine what it could do to ordinary folks.
Does that not depend on what you are calling a miracle?
If anything-you-like is a miracle then nothing is a miracle and there are no miracles.
That was lousy, cutting us off in mid-sentence. So much for my subscribing to this channel!
University means • one Truth
Y dnt lennox say anything about the miracles in our own time like the fatima incident nd the body of st bernadette
A fine example of the art of casuistry.
Are miracles possible?
You exist in the world in the universe that God created for your benefit before he sends you to his judgment day on sin.
That's a great miracle, but only has value when you obey God and give your life to Jesus Christ and ask him to forgive your sins and obey God.
Someone who does not know that "fantastic" means the stuff of *fantasy* came up with the title"John Lennox's *Fantastic* Lecture" . Fair enough, the god fantasy is indeed a fantasy; *what_Else*could it be?
No, but they occur anyway.
To save everyone 14mins , John says that Miracles are possible, if you are willing to believe they are...
In other words, it takes a leap of faith and then you're good to go , no evidence needed.
Inecaeutriuriousabout Christianity I comparison to mutism, however NCH smcursory reading revealed that most religions at their founding had for the most part the same lessons o morality , ethics and integrity which reinforc s the natural world even paganism relied heavily on the natural world
Opinion...opinion...opinion....
Do not confuse religion with God. Religion with its package of myths has messed it up.
and which PHD's do you hold?
Dr. Lenox has a PhD in mathematics or smth
As much as I admire and respect Professor Lennox, it drives me crazy that he avoids the main question regarding miracles:
If they are real, then how come nobody can actually perform them?
Jesus is very clear on the matter. If ye have the faith "like a grain of mustard seed", then you can perform miracles. The resurection was a singularity perhaps, but advocates of God performed miracles quite frequently in the Bible. Peter walked on water. But nobody can today. Why not?
Bill Davis Where's the proof that God won't answer your prayer? He also said to cut off your hand if it causes you to sin. Not to be taken literally. Quit kidding yourself. It's very simple. Because we're not God. Jesus was God in flesh, come to die for your sins, so u can have peace with God. Beleive and be saved. He also saves your corrupt mind as well. Leave that garbage behind, he offers abundant life.
Good question. History has many examples though of miracles. The answer to your question is very simple. Every saint stressed it ad nauseum. No saint ever performs a miracle. The miracle (ie the power) comes from God. Study the wonder worker St. John Bosco. Very well documented life. A major figure in the Catholic Church’s eduction of the poor.
A miracle is a salamander growing a lost limb. Why can,t a human do that.God obviously didn't get his priorities right.You have to feel sorry for all believers.
@@johnkaz1476 that kind of a miracle would make God look as trite as you John.
A miracle of nature, which by the looks you dont believe in.You have to read between the lines and dont rely on wishfull thinking.
Miracles are exaggerated interpretations of natural events commonly based on religious indoctrination.
Yes, raising a stinking corpse back to life is an exagerration because people habitually raise from the dead naturally. Same with producing matter out of nothing, enough to feed 5000 people - it's just a slight exaggeration of what physicists do in the hadron collider.
Only god can make a tree. Probably because it’s so hard to get the bark to stay on the sides
I believe in Science. I believe in the God of the Universe. I don't believe in miracles. I believe everything that happens in the physical Universe has an explanation. I believe the God of the Universe encourages us to seek the truth and wants us to understand His Creation. He would not make us to be ignorant fools.
In fiction everything is possible!

pseudo science and vain imaginations as opposed to The Truth which is obviously non fiction.
My dad always said:
“Let people have weird hobbies as long as they don’t believe that
an extraterrestrial conjured up our universe out of nothing from
the 5th dimension.”
But then I had to tell my dad:
“But that’s what they believe and they called this alien GOD.”
My dad totally shocked::
"Dealing with religion is dealing with insanity."
Lennox is kindly and articulate but also spends too much time on theory. He can believe in any gods he wishes but he cannot explain why his god only performed miracles for the benefit of people living thousands of years ago in pre-scientific days.
interesting talk but not about miracles
Newton believed in God but not Jesus. Eventually fewer and fewer scientists believed in God or felt safe to declare it. Was that beause of anti Christian propaganda or political and social freedoms from the enlightenment?
Of course miracles are possible...humans can apparently subconsciously perform miracles by tapping into unknown mysterious aspect of reality that gives them special powers. That's why miracles are so intermittent and so...well...inconsistent and sometimes downright trivial. I hear tell of some friar who was able 'miraculously' to fly about...FLY ABOUT? Why? Just for show...God helped him fly about for entertainment. We see someone claiming they woke up with a head ache. They prayed and by the time of their 10 am brunch, it was gone. Praise God. Meanwhile someone else lives with decades of severe chronic pain all the while continually praying...whole churches continuously praying and...nada. The person with the headache just subconsciously knew how to tap into the mysterious miraculous forces that guard the world. The other...just didn't 'have the power.'
A real miracle would be: Lennox finds some reason again.
The question atheists don't answer is "is atheism a logical fallacy?". Atheism is a logical fallacy that assumes God is the religious idea of the creator of the creation to conclude wrongly no creator exists because a particular idea of God doesn’t exist. Future generations would understand the atheist logical fallacy because the truth is easy to understand being honest and impossible lying to oneself. To understand atheism is a logical fallacy you have to understand why the most emblematic remark of atheism is "who created god?", with the intelligent creator of the universe written in lower case and why the debate "evolution or creation" is fallacious. It is important that you understand I am not asking you to agree with me and i am censored. To end the war in Ukraine the discovery that atheism is a logical fallacy has to be news. I want to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Supernatural is only the natural that we haven't understood yet...ascribing manifestation of anything supernatural to a biblical god is is an intellectual cop out..
If miracles are not possible, then God is a failure.
Unfortunately Dr. Lennox can't discern fairy tales, fictions, myths, and bs from facts.
lol really stupid question he just said miracle were OUTSIDE OF HUMAN INTERFERENCE
You are more stupid than he.😡😡
