+Roedy Green They probably don't have the consciousness to know that the same will apply to them, yet still feel sadness for the loss of a friend/family.
+MrZapparin Dumb is relative though, right? I mean it depends on how you're defining dumb. If akiman23 23 is basing his assessment off of cognitive abilities such as abstract thinking, problem solving, self contemplation, creativity, and using your average human as the standard, then yes most animals are dumb. I love my dog, she's incredibly sweet and I believe she has strong affection for myself and my family, but when comparing intellect I would have to say she's dumb; maybe not by dog standards, but I'm not a dog and I'm making the assessment so I'm using my own standards.
im a christian and i admire his outlook. he isnt mocking or screaming yet he shows facts and leaves it open at the end. no matter what ur religion is or if you dont have one at all gotta show respect. love it!
I liked how I clicked on this upload wanting to know what Kaku's opinion on life after death was... only to hear him say, "I need more evidence." Then he drifts off on to another topic pondering just how old earth really is. Lol
Dr Kaku is a scientist who needs physical proof, however he needs to address the non physical information from many believable sources that seem to open cracks in the mystery of this temporary life. Near death experiences, psychic abilities, first hand reports of UFO and alien visitations etc. All have the ability to change our perceptions of reality.
When he says - he needs more proof - it means he is tending towards existence if afterlife. But my strong logic for afterlife is that when we all are existing as individuals for once then why can't it be for twice, thrice and more and for always in lot of frequencies. Yes, it can repeat again and again.
I really apprieciate how he tries to be for the most part an unbiased observer. when he is speaking on fundamentalist creationism he points out how it is flawed with straight facts, but when it comes to the after-life he shows that while he won't believe something that hasn't been proven he does seem open to the idea. I have also seen him in some talks of god, and he never seems to try to be completely for or against. I feel Michio Kaku is a great educator in that he always shows facts to what we know for certain, but never tries to shove beliefs (ideas that are made to fill in gaps between facts) down our throats, and this is why I have so much respect for him.
That's my biggest problem, as far as a Orator. Listening to false information taken as Facts . And trying not to reply in a nefarious manner . An obvious failure on my understanding.
He's a great scientist. He's got immense knowledge of several different scientific subjects. He's a great writer and storyteller too. I respect his opinions.

That's nice. If he's an eloquently spoken misguided fool I guess you're signing up for pleasantly sounding false beliefs as well? Just a theory but I doubt the physicists and the science folks just as much as the bible thumpers. Everyone thinks they know but few admit they know nothing.
"Speaking as a scientist I think that there is a problem with regards to the after life and religious immortality and that is there is no proof that it exists. Remarkable claims require remarkable proof. But maybe you don't need proof. Well, I do." I love this guy!
fardinaula123 Thank you, I have researched the texts of all three of the monotheist Abrahamic religions, The Old Testament, The New Testament AND the Quran. There is one thing that a rational person can be certain of and that is that every person and any text that claims knowledge of, proof of, or answers to "all things in the universe" is wrong about that assertion 100% of the time. "Who is more humble; the scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and nevermind the falibility of all the human beings involved in the writing of this book?" -Dr. Carl Sagan
rdingo1 The subject of Quran is to introduce God to all human beings of all times places cultures languages, fields etc.scientists are extremely tiny fraction of that. Quran is supposed to introduce God to us and teach us the good way of life so that we live successfully on earth and hearafter. in doing so Quran states some facts about earth, universe and human life and other things around us. So far not a single fact has been proved wrong by any scientist, on the contrary many scientists have embraced Islam when came across those facts. Maurice Bucaille is one of them. That proves truth of religion and God.
Saqib Khan The problem with your statement is that you could have easily substituted the word "Quran" with "Old Testement" and made the same case for the Jewish faith. You could also have substitued the word "Quran" with "New Testament" and made the same case for the Christian faith. Here inlies the problem: all Abrahamic religions suggest that Allah / Yahweh / God is, at best, a coy and fickle being, or at least our limited interpretation does. These religions cannot seem to get along with themselves among different sects let alone coexisting with each other; Reformed Judaism -vs- Orthodox Judaism, Catholic -vs- Protestant, Sunni -vs- Shiite. I believe that we ALL have historically brought great shame to our faith and dishonor to ourselves in the way that we have treated each other. Muhammad, Moses and Jesus were ALL sons of Abraham. They are brothers! I believe that they would see our behavior towards each other as an utter disgrace, as abject evil, and all done in their name. Shame, shame, shame on all of us! I believe that our creator cares most about how we treat each other and all of creation than how we practice our ridiculous man-made dogmas. This is the truest test of our worthiness in the eyes of our creator. We are ALL chosen people because we were all born on this beautiful blue spec of dust. When will come the day that we can all honestly and truly honor Allah / Yahweh / God with the greatest homage that we humans could possibly offer; with respect towards each other, as Father Abraham teaches? When shall we denounce those among us who disgrace by preaching literalism, hate, bigotry, intolerance, misogyny, territorialism and violence? Our greatest honor, our greatest homage should be that of PEACE! Could we start today? "All you need is love!" -JWL -Peace & respect to you.
Well, this week that ebola epidemic was just eradicated. Thanks to science. What your gods and churches did to solve that problem? nothing than wish a good luck. You criticize science but you always can count on it to save your ass EVERYDAY. So, how do you think the food that sustain your life and the life of billions of people came from? god and his nature? wrong, because nature can't provide millions of tons of food naturally, so guess what? science again. your computer, car, house, and even your birth, everything today is only possible because of science. That's why I have more respect for it than I have for religions and you should do the same.
@@shadrachemmanuel1720 No God is not a human construct. You didn't put yourself here, You don't hold the key to immortality, You're not going to Mars; You are severely LIMITED. Your IDEA...of what you...THINK...its "supposed to be", is what is the human construct. Your problem is you think just because you've read a few books, and have a few favorite television personalities teaching your science to you, as arrogant as you are, you quickly start thinking you just know everything, or have some kind of priveleged "right" to bully the religious. But the reality is, Religion in fact goes way over your head, just as much as it does the religious. Your belief in, or hopes of, Aliens, or other habitable worlds, is no different than one's pursuit of God or 'Heaven'. Its merely a high hope of someone saving you, from making your best effort to save yourself.
We don't have a soul. We are the soul. The body lives and dies. We do not. Now is the time for us to wake up to this reality and start focusing on why we agreed to come here in the first place.
“Time is But a mere illusion.” -Albert Einstein Personally, I don’t believe there was a beginning because you need time in order for it to begin. I believe this is just something our minds cannot accept. That we live in and infinite universe. I mean the cosmos almost prove it really.
Time isn't mere illusion, he too was reluctant in accepting the universe is not static, yet there it was expanding. What you are implying is giving the attributes of God to Universe to begin with(irrational illogical attributes that only suit god) and mind accepts it
@JaySR, I came UP with the same opinion of US living in an infinite UNIVERSE. Concrete example, is the OLD CIVILISATION in EGYPT a time CAME when everything was covered UP with DESERT SAND and every KNOWLEDGE was LOST. To me the SOLE CREATOR erases and restart everything on EARTH as HE PLEASES giving us cruelty to question OUR PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE as HUMANS. I'm SURE the RECLYING will be SOON because WE ARE TRYING TO DIG DEEP D INTO THE THE WHOLE EXISTENCE OF THE EARTH.
We don't know if we have a better understanding of time than animals. It is the arrogance of humans who put themselves on top of everything. The only difference between weed and flowers, is our own judgement.
Where are the animals' government? Utilization of electricity? Cars? Planes? GPS? Space exploration? Schools? Humans intellectually exceed any other animal by miles. You really think its arrogant to think humans' have a better understanding of time, or anything at all, than animals?
PapaKay All your examples show off human intelligence, but Who is to say humans are in fact smarter or have a better perception of time? Is it because we can build atomic bombs and have striped toothpaste? I don't think that is the essential core of the universe, but that is just my opinion. The more we learn about this earth, the more I am baffled by how intelligent our environment is. Recent studies even show communication between plantlife and we merely are scratching the surface of that. There is a whole lot more to this world/universe than we could ever imagine. Again, you judge animals like we judge everything around us and place the human race on top of it all. As I said earlier, the only difference between weed and flowers is our own judgement.
+Commodore Man _That is quite a remarkable claim without any proof._ If you were in Paris at any of the places that was shot up by ISIS, I'm pretty sure you felt your time is limited .... and if you weren't shot, then your time was lengthened. .
+MyworstEnemy Yeah that's truth but, what if they have methodologies to find out things you cannot possibly know without such methodologies? not that i'm one of them, i'm like the person next door.
ThisIsRTSThree999 If these methodologies are genuine, then they will they will know what we don't currently know and that's great. Life or existence after death is a tough one. Unless we have methodologies that lead to talking to dead people, I believe this will remain unknown lol.
+MyworstEnemy Oh please. No one knows anything by the strictest philosophical standards. Thankfully no one uses those standards...unless desperately defending a religion they were brought up on. You don't even have to ask complicated questions to debunk ideas about heaven: How big is it? How many people are there? How do people get around? Are there chairs? If so, does that mean people get tired in heaven? Do you need to sleep? Is it ever dark? Is it warm? Is it cold? What if I like 70 degrees and you like 60? Do people wear clothes? Do they wear the same clothes every day? If naked, do you become perfectly fit? Can you opt to have more or less hair on your body? How old are you when you get there? When infants die, do they stay in an infantile state? Do you have to eat? It's pretty obvious that heaven is a fantasy conjured up to protect you from fear of dying. It's nonsense, and you shouldn't believe it's true for the same reason you shouldn't believe that Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are documentaries.
I am Greek and from my 35 years I have converted from atheism to orthodox Christians. I agree with you that it is sad when some are trying to commercialize religion or ideology, or try to impose their faith in schools or society. I know there are many Christian approaches to America. I have been informed enough before accepting Orthodoxy.
All I can think about is what Homer Simpson once said : "what if we've been praying to and worshipping the wrong God and the REAL God is getting angrier and angrier. So true and funny if you think about it!
That's no diffferent than what fundamentalist would have you think and believe.Homer simpson is satire humor on goofy fundamentalism.If god is god ,omnipotent, genius he she has no reason to ever be angry at anything or anyone.
@@alankuntz6494 Yet the anger of god is mentioned nearly 500 times in the bible and he got so angry once that he flooded the entire earth with water higher than the highest mountains( 29,035 + 22foot ; and that is 22 foot higher than Mt Everest ) And why so high , because there were giants on the earth in those days. it is no surprise that modern man does not take god seriously.
And you believe all this to be so just because somebody said so? I don't get your point? My point is a s*** happens but trying to explain it away by some egotistical anthropomorphic fathead just doesn't cut the mustard. All of this stuff very well could be people's interpretations of what they thought might be God but saying that doesn't mean it's God.
@@alankuntz6494 So in the end we just do not know , and all the gods are merely a human being's conception of god created by the human imagination and their own experience of life and their upbringing by their parents and the current world -view at the time when they lived.
@@peterj6740 Yep, Thats the way i see it.If there is any sane idea of god it's in apophatic contemplative ideas and practices. a constant ceasless question of who am I ? who and what is god, what is not I? , what is not god? neti neti, nada nada shunyata...Nothing you can say about God is God.God is quintessential nothingness and its only in silence that you might be able to hear and understand it ~ Meister Eckhart. Truth is so noble that if God were beside it, i could hold to the truth and let go of God.
***** Religion has historically promoted division and violence between peoples. Atheism is merely a lack of religious belief, not a gang or army that engages in aggressive proselytization in pursuit of social control. Conservative religions use law to force non-members to conform. I don't march under any banners, I'm not a Communist, and I don't want to convert anyone by force, as christianity and islam have done for centuries.
***** Religion has been the cause of many wars-- don't you even pay attention to today's headlines? It's as if your addiction to the personal pleasure that religion gives you causes you to ignore the reality of its harm.
***** Most wars being fought to day are religious. Supernatural beliefs cripples rational judgment and bring savage emotions to the fore. As the poet said, "The sleep of Reason causes monsters to be born."
+Gavin Snyder Impossible. The only thing NJ is good for is being jealous of their neighbors. They couldn't manage a crap factory if they were surrounded by taco bells.
Humans are the only creatures on earth that know their time is limited? So we know how dolphins and whales think? Have we translated their clicks, whistles and other sounds? I'm not saying that Dr. Kaku's statement is false. I just want to know how we know it is true. When a dolphin is gravely ill or injured, others of his pod won't leave him while he is alive. They will stay with him. Once he has died, only then will they will move off. So how do we know that dolphins don't understand that their time is limited?
Many animals understand the concept of death when they are in mortal danger but we live with it every day, knowing for sure that one day our life will be over
***** well, actually there's no evidence I know of that each dolphin/elephant actually knows their own time is limited. It's actually a big leap to go from "these other elephants die" to "I'm also going to die". A three year old human can learn of other people dying without understanding they too will die. Actually there may be good survival reasons for being in denial about mortality. It's often hard to function well while this fact is deeply contemplated (I mean, why go on suffering through any difficulties when your going to die eventually anyways) So we'll have to wait to decipher the clicks and whistle and ask them before we'll ever know.

If your brain is a little bit damaged, your thinking is a little bit impaired. If your brain is severely damaged your thinking and physiology will be severely impaired. BUT, once that brain has turned to mush in the grave you get to this state of super awareness. Anyone buying?
cristop5 Conscious function is the same for everyone regardless of intelligence. Consciousness is not a result of the brain. The brain just interfaces the consciousness with the physical world. The quality of the interfacing can degrade or be altered but the conscious willful being is the same just what changes is the experience. The biological body with the brain are just tools to operate and experience the physical world and the experience itself is not the same as the soul or the conscious mind. Don't confuse the experience with the experiencer. Don't confuse the brain processing power and memories with the mind's ability to make willful decisions. Just like the user of computer software and the software itself are two separate things is the same way that the conscious willful mind is different than the biological brain.
Boris Alfaro No one can prove it either way. I recognize that but secular scientists like to think they have proven something they have not. Scientists like to throw around that "fact" word when all they really have is a claim or guess.
They have and that's how humans advance. You can't advance in anything if there isn't proof that your statement is true. When someone says something to be true you better be prepared to show evidence. Truth is not bias. Truth stays true no matter who or what is observing. If you state something and cannot prove it you either do not have no evidence, not stating the truth, or delusional.
Boris Alfaro you are confusing a claim with truth. They claim something to be fact and truth when it has been far from proven. You can advance simply by more evidence/data. The existing evidence and data on old ages is far from resulting in any truths as they are very lacking in their modules and have been left to use many assumptions.
+Rob Bowes lol Had guys like you lived in usher's day, you'd believe that stuff just as firmly as you believe whatever you believe now ... whatever the status quo says. You have no idea what BS you believe today. Go fuck your selves, hypocrats.
I was raised Catholic early in my life and at some point I drifted from them to First Baptist for a time. I always understood I had already been baptized as a baby and pretty much figured I'd leave it at that, however since I been attending another church and possibly different doctrine, however I found they were pretty much the same. After attending on and off with the First Baptist I decided to be dunk baptized even though I already knew I was already covered when I was a baby. This happened in 2004 the same year my father fell I'll to cancer and died. I did get a chance to see him a week before he did pass and I'll never forget what he told me while in his room at the v.a. center. He was sitting at the edge of the bed and he kept rolling his oxygen hose up and putting it away and I kept having to tell he wasn't supposed to do that and he should put it back on, otherwise our conversations were pretty much small talk all of a sudden he looked at me and said "son why are you covered in water?" I asked him to explain and he said that my whole body appeared as though it was covered in water and that my sister looked the same way....it turned out that she had gotten dunk baptized too, I know he knew about her baptism but not mine and I asked her if she had said anything about it and she said "honest to God no!" I won't even try to convince anyone here what I believe especially in a room with people who need proof in something that requires surrender and faith. I now believe that people on their death beds are in the process of having their veil lifted or at least my father did and he saw something that we cant see at least till were ready. Some things are forever etched in my mind... I remember when the space shuttle blew up, the world trade center disaster etcetera, and what my father said to me in his last few days left on this earth.
Our sense perception has limits and in this life the physical world we observe comes within it. Like the light outside the visible range or the sound outside the audible range cannot be sensed yet it exists. Our physical brains too have limitations to grasp the afterlife that is proof enough to believing it. To be humbled by the infinite is far better than to believe only in a limited finite existence.
Deeken Wheeler Had vibrations and lifted out. Went down the hall and into the apt next to me. Was in their restroom and looked around and saw a vent on the wall. Decided I wasn't supposed to be in there and went back through the wall into my apt . Saw the front door and thought in mind how cool it would be to go putside. As soon as I thought that I blew throught the front door and flying over thevtennis courts. Flew for a few seconds and saw a lamp post on what looked like a campus. Was a woman walking near the post and I thought it would be funny to go down and shake the lamp post to scare her. As soon as I thought that, I was back iny body. Next day I.was sitting in the john thinling about what had happened. Looked up and saw a vent on the wall
i can see that life is eternal is purely an expression but that expression is not entirely metaphorical. How would you explain reincarnation in terms of science biology. continuation of the species on the planet and evolution.
the first 1:00 really made something click in my mind and that is being that once humans evolved the ability to be aware of the fact that one day we would inevitably die so the only way to cope naturally would be to beleive that we live for ever, like every other animal
The comment section should be banned for videos like. Too many uneducated and unenlightened people who are eons away from seeing outside of the circle.
I honestly think this is what afterlife feels like. The moment when you’re in a very very deep sleep. The split moment you feel or try to recall from closing your eyes and sleep to just BAM, waking up, that little blank hole of space is what I think death is, which is pretty much a feeling of nothingness. No awareness, no feelings, no dreams, no anything. Think about it.
If you've ever been put under anesthesia, that's what I believe death is. You just never wake up. No dreams, no awareness, no consciousness. Same as before you were born. Non-existence. Our fear of death leads many to believe there must be something after life. What's after life is death, the end. All your fears will be gone because you'll cease to exist.
"Time" is an infinity grid. For the sake of simplicity, "time" is a measure of change. There is therefore, such a thing, scientifically, as a state of 'timelessness,' which divides 'time quanta' or stated as, 'windows of change,' which is what 'we' are familiar with, so far measured as "Planck time."
Michala W....Has that helped you to believe, that is good because James 2:19...Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But do you believe in His Son who paid the price for your sins, if you do, tell Him, and then be baptized and turn from sin and be a new person in Christ, this will please the Father.
GamerDares Wins yep but its slightly different in what kaku has discovered. An actual entity or particles to support Spinoza god or god of the universe.he understands nothing is random & that we live in a matrix.if the entity exists it would explain the fine tuning of the universe& the maths behind the beauty & order of nature.
One Pilgrim you know what.if Michio kaku did confirm his theory of the Entity, it would convince me scientifically that there was a designer or a force behind all the beauty & order in the universe & nature.the maths behind the beauty / symmetry. .it would explain the fine tuning of the universe which cannot be explained by random processes.it gives one comfort to know there could be something out there guiding it all.
All things that moves need power. You too moves around freely, what power you? you don't plug in or carry a battery? but you moves! Moves without man made power....amazing !....It is call life!

It's an expression. when I say it, I don't pretend god is to my right and make eye contact with him saying oh my god, did u see that god. Expressionism
Better hope not. The existence of a heaven necessitates the existence of a hell where people who don't believe in a heaven end up going regardless of their actions whether good or bad.
2:35 in the present of life there is no evidence or proof of existing of afterlife but when you die there is the proof. we are limited being as a human so we are not capable to explore the 2nd dimension of this life or the world of the died.
All these comments below me, arguing about what's true and what's not... Can we all agree that our time is limited? Can we recognize that the more time we spend arguing the less time we have to do what we really want to do? Just really comprehend how valuable your time is--it's the most valuable thing you'll ever have--do you really want to waste the most valuable thing you'll ever have? Will forcing your opinion on someone else really make you that much happier, that it's worth wasting your life doing?
***** I've seen past what I'm up against. I'm already aware of what I'm up against. Also I said God, so therefore demigods are already out of the question. So, as to what God, I have no idea. God could be anything for all we know. Thus the purpose of faith. Also, I don't necessarily even believe in a God. That understanding may come later in life, but as of now I'm agnostic. If you were even able to comprehend my comment, you would understand that I said God is vague and hard to understand scientifically. And you are making a a huge misunderstanding. "Scientists" combating religion with contradiction to theology isn't scientific in the slightest. That's all opinion versus opinion and logic vs logic. None of which can ever prove that a God does or does not exist. Now what I know to be certain is a life after death after talking with countless people who are able to detach the from the body and travel in a spiritual form which who knows maybe the spirit is a very advanced form of energy which technically could be supported with Einstein's theory if there were collected data. At first I thought this was bullshit because I was an atheist an only believed things I could relate too but then these people started to tell me what was going on in a room without even being in there. I then tried to learn how to do this myself and I've been practicing for roughly 2 years and up until about a 2 weeks ago did I actually have my first minor success.
IvoryStrike astral projection lul. I have tried few but times but it was too time consuming and made me stress. Then I started to believe astral projectors were just doing it for the fame. Look at their videos. Some are just utter bullshit thats not related to spirit. P.S none of them are that successful nor smart.
People really need to look into near death experiences, there's doctors even researching them and DR. Jeffrey Long seems to be the best one among them.
Why does he think that humans are the only animal who knows that our time is limited? I think because of the way animals act, to protect their young, fight for resources and so forth that all animals know that they will die.
I love your work and TV appearances professor Kaku, but I must differ with you in your initial statement where you said that only humans had a concept of their limited time on Earth, and therefore, of death. I heard these same kinds of statements where others have said that animals don't have a concept of the future, which makes me wonder why then would a bird prepare for winter, build a nest, or warn other animals of impending danger. Non-human animals have an even deeper understanding (does not have to be intellectual) of their relative time on Earth. Anyone who has raised animals and has a close bond with them, while studying to understand them thoroughly, can realize this. The more I study about non-human animals and interact with them the more I realize that it is us, and not them, who still need to learn from them. In fact, much of what Homo knows about survival have been learned through observing animals in the natural world.
I completely agree with you. Prof Kaku made the classic human error in assuming that only the human race have such an awareness. The depth of soul in our friends from the animal kingdom must not be underestimated.
Do you have any evidence? beside your imagination? I think the universe is a bunch of dudes, laughing at how we think we are the only intelligence in the universe, and there we can't even travel beyond our little galaxy.
If God didnt feel or think. Then you wouldn't EXIST. A good chunk of the Universe was made just so Earth could inhabit LIFE. Look at all the creation around... Flower's, Bird's flying around, Majestic Snow cap mountains, The Grand Canyon, Trees, Grass, Vegetables/Fruit for Food, Water for drinking/fishing for food/cleaning ourselves, The perfect exchange of Oxygen between plants/trees and humans/animals, gravity, and the list goes on and on... if that aint Love and the Expression of I care to provide all these things for your Survival because he cares and your personal experience to all these thing's should bring you to a Great Awakening in your mind to show you that you are unique in this entire universe made for you and everyone else to learn to recognize his Love so that you will in turn learn to Love yourself and others on this short journey and stroll here on earth. Its faaar more complex then you understand it to be. Take 1 element out or lower/raise that element and Life doesn't exist. It all was created with razor sharp precision.
Carl Sagan said something to this effect, If I really believed what Jesus taught about life after death and hell etc. I would crawl over glass to let people know. That's why Christians tell you the gospel. "There is a principle that is a bar against all knowledge, proof against all argument and which must keep people in everlasting ignorance-that principle is contempt prior to investigation." Herbert Spencer
As finite beings we can not prove an infinite being with our finite methods. Think about it, anytime we deal with infinity in math or physics things just break down. So while we can't prove it, we may find it. To look for God don't look at the cosmos for proof, rather look at the cosmos for poetry and beauty and you'll find God.
I like Michio. He is sublime and soothing and rational and scientific. He, most likely grew up in a house that worshipped Buddha or Shinto as the son of Japanese immigrants. Disproving that the world is only 6000 years old is sort of like learning that Santa Claus isn`t real. The majority of religious minded people understand that. That has very little to do with their belief in afterlife. Faith in afterlife, God, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha is mostly personal and you either have it or you don`t. If you have it, you know that it is real and you don`t require proof. If you needed proof, you could refer to those who have died and returned with their stories of afterlife. If you don`t have it, It will certainly cross your mind during your last breath on earth.
I very much appreciate Michio Kaku's respectful approach to the question. I would like to point out (hopefully not to spark debate, just to perhaps clarify?) that in the Bible, books like the book of Genesis are written as legends/mythology, so naturally the conclusion that the world is 6000 years old and created in six days should by no means be drawn as fact. There are more important things in the Bible. By the way I certainly don't mean to deny religion, but hopefully speak for religion (I'm a Christian).
It doesn't speak of genesis as a myth. It does not say the world is 6000 years old. People simply think the first time they read it, and an image forms in their mind, that this MUST be what actually happened, when truth is, they have it figured wrong. Created in 6 days didn't mean it was in 6 ..EARTH..days.
To dicuss the possibility of a creator we have to assume that the creator would transcend the universe and the laws that govern it. As a Catholic we are tought that heaven is a different state of being. God is was and always will be. He is not bound by time.
Argument from authority is inadequate. We are not born Catholics, Muslims, etc. Children must be taught how not to think. I would hate to have to be paid to eviscerate a child's natural curiosity.
Romans 1:20 for since the creatioin of the world HIS invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,even HIS eternal power and Godhead , so that they are without excuse so you make the choice where you shall spend eternity for your lack of Faith is sending you to hell! me and my house we will serve the LORD!

+Brad White The bible does talk about the expansion, and the stretching of the universe. I believe the earth is 5 billions years old, and still a Christian.
+Brad White All these scientists, however, were upstaged by 2500 years and more by Job, Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and other Bible authors. The Bible’s prophets and apostles stated explicitly and repeatedly the two most fundamental properties of the big bang, a transcendent cosmic beginning a finite time period ago and a universe undergoing a general, continual expansion. In Isaiah 42:5 both properties were declared, “This is what the Lord says-He who created the heavens and stretched them out.”
+Patrick Hayes The Hebrew verb translated “created” in Isaiah 42:5 is bara’ which has as its primary definition “bringing into existence something new, something that did not exist before.”7 The proclamation that God created (bara’) the entirety of the heavens is stated seven times in the Old Testament. (Genesis 1:1; 2:3; 2:4; Psalm 148:5; Isaiah 40:26; 42:5; 45:18). This principle of transcendent creation is made more explicit by passages like Hebrews 11:3 which states that the universe that we humans can measure and detect was made out of that which we cannot measure or detect. Also, Isaiah 45:5-22; John 1:3; and Colossians 1:15-17 stipulate that God alone is the agent for the universe’s existence. Biblical claims that God predated the universe and was actively involved in causing certain effects before the existence of the universe is not only found in Colossians 1 but also in Proverbs 8:22-31; John 17:24; Ephesians 1:4; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 1:2; and 1 Peter 1:20.
Skeptics are like a two-dimensional painting that denies the artist that painted it. Their logic? "Because they cannot locate the artist anywhere on the painting, therefore the artist must not exist..."
The earliest memory I can remember is when I saw pitch black, red eyes, shaped like a tiger. I felt a pinch and then crushing sensation in my right arm. I yelled and the beast got smaller and I yelled again and it kept getting smaller and smaller. It shrunk to a dot size and starting getting big again and I screamed loud as it backed down for the last time. That was all that happened then I remember waking up holding my crib I think I was still a toddler maybe 1. I've always felt brave after that if there was a word for the emotion I still feel now as a fighter of the boxing ring. It's strange too because I have a birthmark on my right arm. Oh well all of it could've just been a dream.
Typically humans can't remember anything before the age of 5. Any memories are usually completely wrong or distorted. Does that mean that you didn't exist? No.
***** Did you even read my post?The first word was typically, not universally. There are cases where humans remember before 5, it's just unlikely. You may be one of those, but as i said in my post those memories are probably anywhere from distorted to so far left field it's not even funny. I really hate to burst your bubble but speaking "fluently" at the age of 3 is pretty average. Mind you that childhood developmental milestones aren't an exact science.
Hinduism gives alternate view...we have count of how many days have passed. Question is since when..Every story has a begining verse that appears with purple island...that is like some one landed on this purple planet when life was taking shape to emerge??
Heaven is a metaphor for the womb, childhood, the nest & the past A time when we were sheltered, cared for, protected, fed, clothed and basically lived in a bubble Nostalgia - a yearning for the time that we lost - "the good old days" - eternal childhood But we can't do that - we can't run back to the womb, stay children forever. We have to grow up sometime and face the world Reincarnation then stands for Life, Adulthood, leaving the nest and the Future
For 15 yrs I have seen many people approach death either natural occurrence or unanticipated. Two things are fact. 1. Electricity is used in any attempt to stop the process when necessary. 2. The very last moment is calm, peaceful and surreal.
2:35 "there is no proof it (the afterlife) exists...remarkable claims require remarkable proof" hmm...seems to me the 'multiverse' explanation for for the strength of dark energy's finely-tuned value - the result of one of 10^500 versions of string theory, would also need proof. Mr. Kaku's science is beginning to look like the 21st century version of "how many Angels can dance on the head of a pin?"
Scientifically speaking, if the soul is energy, and I don't know of any religion that says otherwise, then the law of conservation of energy means the soul doesn't cease to exist the moment the body's compost. Now, where it goes after death, that I'm not gonna go near because I haven't died and then come back. Frankly, anyone who hasn't is unqualified to make unequivocal statements as to what happens after death since their opinion is thereby uninformed.
Energy though is not the same as the soul. Your mind is just a highly evolved and well ordered collection of electrochemical signals. When we die they convert to mostly 100W heat and some chemical changes. The mind is thus dead since no electrochemical signals are flowing. Conservation of energy has occurred. Order has become chaos. Entropy rules. So to believe that the law of thermodynamics applies to the minds survival as a soul is illogical.
+Ariel Fetters That presupposes a pragmatic framework for epistemology which is limited. Being there and back doesn't necessarily, in itself, allow someone to know with certainty what they've experienced. That being said, science is limited by those same constraints of a sort of pragmatic epistemology that goes along with the open world arrangement in inductive reasoning. You can't know anything with absolute, epistemic certainty through science. However, you can get close enough that it's reasonable to believe in scientific theories. I'm not saying that your analysis of the situation is wrong, but it's primarily representative of one type of logic. There are others that allow for certainty i.e. the illative sense, and deductive reasoning. However, deductive reasoning pretty much has the caveat that you're assuming something. Like, "if these things are true, then I'm certain about this other thing."
7:22 "1 foot every thousand years" 9:19 "a thousand years per inch" What? "6 inches is equivalent to Ussher's time scale for the whole of Earth's existence." First off, Ussher's timeline stated that the world began 6000bc, not 4000bc like this program is stating. Secondly, how do you go from 1 foot to 1 inch? I'm not saying that Ussher was right, or that the river didn't form the canyon(which 5 million years ago "that" river and "that" ocean were nowhere near there, but that's besides the point), I'm just saying that you should really get at least SOME facts straight before you attempt to FILM something to be on TELEVISION. I mean, good grief.
They're talking about different things. At 7:22 when he say's "1 foot every thousand years", he is talking about the rate at which the river carved the canyon down. At 9:19, when he says "a thousand years per inch", he is talking about the rate at which the sediment built up before it was eroded by the river.
No, they aren't. He says it took 1000 years to form a siltstone strata, which is a layer of rock formed as sediments deposit over thousands of years. Watch the clip at 9:19 again.
The show assumes you aren't stupid. Usshers time scale DID start at 4000 BC which was 6000 years ago, you're confused. You seem to have no idea about geology or plate tectonics, yes the erosion may have started 5000 years ago but the rock would have been pushed above sea level in the order or hundreds of millions of years ago, way before the existence of the river. God damit people like you annoy me. How about learning something about this world instead of waiting to get into heaven eh?
It would take an extremely incredible amount of faith for one to believe that man and life and Earth came about through some random chain of events, over the faith in a Holy God which Created everything we see by His Holy Intelligent design.
Not really..it´s only hard for religious people to accept creation that isn´t designed by a higher being, just as it is completly nonse for those with scientific views to accept a higher being constructing something for the sake of man or whatever else nonsense, and that entity have lived for eternety before..and just suddenly decided to make the universe..which the creator of course couldn´t have since the creator is part of the universe, who designed the creator..mother of god? thats just ridiculous and completly cant be understood since the concept is even harder to understand than universe randomly creating itself...but, here´s a thing, there is no such thing as random events..cause and effect yes ..and within such microcosmic events and amount that we can not define it as anything else than random. To me universe hasn´t been created, I have a feeling it has always been there, collapsing and expanding with blackholes and big bangs for ever and ever without no end or start, just as how far the universe goes..no end...that hydrogen is abundant, suns as well and gravity..the dynamic process of thermal laws and the universe eating itself is the cooking chief receipe for creating worlds. we were not created by accidents or it just happened, it happened becuase it could happen and the circumstances where there for it..the rest was time and evolution, nothing strange about it, it is however a marvel and fascinating.
***** There is a Creator Yes, but the rest was utter hogwash, there is only one thing we have learned from that kind of thermal energy it leaves death in its wake, not life.
Pete Kondolios You are right, but man attributes that to evolution, man rejected God and His law in the beginning, God withdrew Himself from mans world to allow man to write his own destiny what doors God shuts no man can open, God has only interfered in mans life to give man some sort of order and direction. Man likes to bring God down to his level, but we are the mere creation of this Holy Being. When man finally realizes this, then he may be able to come to some understanding about Him. The object lesson to all this is to do exactly what our Creator tells us, we cannot find Him any other way. We have got to accept His Son, and the sacrifice He made for us, and believe He lives and is at the Right hand of God. And we have got to obey Him and His Commandments. If you say you believe in Him, but do not obey His Commandments you are a Liar, and the truth is not in you. Pete, I wrote this for the sake of other readers 10/4....................peace
Pete Kondolios Exactly my friend, you would think some common sense would kick in at some point right. Everyone to quick to write God off, No God No Guilt................................peace
I wonder why everyone ignores the verse in the Bible which states that for God one day is one thousand years and one thousand years is one day. Of course people take this literally but believers cannot forget that God is not confined to this specific example of time. The Earth could be as old as scientist say and it does not "shatter" Christian beliefs. I would like to add that this verse about the relationship between God and time was written long before we understood the idea of dating the age of the planet using geology.
Now, we all know a day is "one earth rotation" a month is"one orbit of the moon around the earth"and a year is"one orbit of the earth around the sun". in the holly bible in modern english by Ferrar Fenton, 1903 quotes "By periods, God created that which produced the solar system;then that which produced the earth". Now the word "yom" which means "day" in Hebrew was used 1541 times in the KJV(king James). in 1795"hutton's book theory of the earth made people doubt the earth was 6 thousands Years old. In 1814"thomas chalmers **gap theory** made the people accept the millions of years idea into the Bible. In 1859 Darwin's book"the origin of species"made people doubt. It's okay people come with theories inventions to make a better world right? Today's modern idea of uniformitarianism is:The present is the key to the past and the Bible is a perfect key to the past, no one is saying scientists hate spirituals, but through the history of man kind if you take Bible + Man's dating methods = Years Thousands and Millions. Time doesn't mean anything to God, God is not locked in time space mater like we are but God is how you define him as a king lord beauty a perfect scientist maybe, every one has the right to believe in his own God but also people need to learn how things work, can you imagine a world without science mathematics biology we'd go back to the stone age all im saying in my opinion we borrow from science and we borrow from the Bible And please ignore hateful comments.
I cant see how we actually could know if we are the only creatures on earth that are aware that they will eventually die. I know that the likelihood of other animals knowing somehow is pretty low, but the declarative statement he opened with was a little brash imo. Anyhow, carry on....
It is part of an extensive study of elephants over generations which shows behaviors which are indicative of incredible memory and communication skills. We cannot read their minds but we have observed them long enough to make informed conclusions.
@@fraser_mr2009 If you think incredible complexity arose by random occurrence, then ok, but to say that's the most likely cause is pretty much unsupportable.
You said the magic words. "All religions promise an after life" If religions did not promise that, how popular would they be? People are too afraid to die. Many spend their last dime on anything that might delay the inevitable. Live to the fullest now!
+MILO MANX If a man lives to be 1 or 100 and dies what there is no value in anything he did while alive so the idea of "living life to the fullest" is stupid and short sided in light of eternity.
I always laugh when someone mocks religion and mentions about spending money as if the two are tied together. But the same douche-bag doesn't talk about all of the money he spent to get a piece of @ss.
This is a misconception. In the beginning of Genesis, when YHWH or (God) tells (Adam) to be fruitful and multiply, he says to replenish the earth. It also says, the earth was void and without form. And darkness covered the face. my point is, the dirt that composes the earth, and all of the elements, are likely billions of yrs old, if not timeless. What the statement here is, is that the current shape, the current time or age if you will has begun. now there is even a timeframe offered. It says Abraham is born in 1948. The original. like 1948yrs after the fall of man. Then it says in the geneology, that from Abraham to bondage was 14generations, from bondage to exodus was 14 generations and from exodus to messiah was 14 generations. So three sets of generations. A generation being 70yrs, also taken from scripture. So 3*14*70+1948= the time span between Adam and messiah birth. Which is believed to be 3bc. Which would make 2015 the 6900th yr after the fall of man, as of last April. of course they called it Nisan. So, with one week of creation, a day being as 1000yrs, as he says on genesis, that puts 6900 yrs since the fall, and 7000yrs of creation. So 13,900yrs since the earth was without form. There is nothing to say it was not once or more formed before. The translation for earth here was really land. earth means dirt. soil. solid sediment. So technically its not even referring to this planet. Scripturally the planet is Jerusalem. any who ^^, hope that cleared some up. have a good one, and feel free to search and see if you come to the same conclusion ^^, interesting, when Adam fell, he was told he would die that day. Adam freaked out but was reassured a day was 1000yrs. he was recorded to be 930 when he died. So exactly 70yrs shy of 1000. One generation. Later, he says he will cut the time short for the sake of the elect, lest even they fall. well. Adam represents man, right? so exactly 70yrs from the end of this current thousand yrs is 30yrs from now. Makes me wonder if he will cut time that short for man as a whole ^^, I do not know.
Hehe,lol they didnt even considered to read the events in the Bible on the "Great Flood" during Noah's time. "the fountains of the great deep and the floodgates, or windows, of the heavens were opened, causing rain to fall on the Earth for 40 days." With that great catastrophic event in the world, it's possible to have formed even that Grand canyons in 40 days and not millions of years under normal natural process. There's another theory surfacing, the "Hydroplate theory" explaining that. Romans 1:20, "For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God." I believe God made it simple for us to believe He exists, cause not all of Billions of people will become scientists or have critical mind to complicate the process of believing to the One true God who is merciful. That's why understanding Him all starts with Faith, more than physical evidence, He is felt spiritually. God bless and have mercy on us!
+Kristine Marie And what's the point in believing in God aside from wasting your time? If he require you to believe in him in order to get a ticket to heaven, then he certainly is not the merciful kind of god. And if he's not that kind, then there is no point in believing in him. If you believe in him because you want to ask him for stuff like health, money success etc... Then it's stupid. According to you, God creates human, so that make him our parents. And a good parent would eventually have to let his child stand on his own feet. Maybe God helped the human race a few thousand years ago, guide us, but now that we have science, it's our duty to solve the problem by ourself, so no point in in asking god for help.
lcbp2009 That's why He's called God, this is His world, He created us, He makes the rules, not you idiot Atheist! If you'd like to play god, you must first conquer death, if you can Not, go back to earth like us coz we are all mortals!
+Kristine Marie and who are you to say that you know the rules that god made? Conquer death? Maybe today it's impossible but one day Science will be able to do it (for example through cloning), it's just either absolutely unethical or will cause hugh overpopulation problem.
+Kristine Marie Fu** your fake god lol and fu** that 2000 years old book. Go live in the amazon let see if your god will help you survive more than 3 days.
lcbp2009 I have only one verse for that, 1John 2:15, "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." See how the Bible you do injustice has all the answers for your stupidity.
Pascal computes all that question. there is 50% chance of God exist, because neither can proof existance and not existance. So tou can do only 2 choices: Belive or Not ! If God does not exist and you believe in Him, so, in the day you´ll die, everything will go right; If God does not exist and you do not belive Him, so, in the day you´ll die everything will go right too; If God does exist and you believe in Him, so, in the day you´ll die, everythingo will go right too, BUT if God does exist, and you DO NOT believe in Him, so, in the day you´ll die evrythingo will go wrong. So, THINK! Wich choice is 100% secure believe Him or NOT believe in Him? It is pure math man
yarpen800 The only one exists! You know who He is. but you pretend the ignorance of not jnowing who He is. I understand if you choose to stay pretending confused by the numbers of gods.Cuold be Maomé, Kardeck, other minors that we even noticed about, but you heard about the One. Yoou know, but it is better pretend confusion dont you think? I could star a debate, but I doubt you really want to. If you really want I show you, by REASON who He is.

ok, go ahead and kneel before him, its your choice, i madde my own. in the END if you became more honorable man then me you will WIN the prize and I´ll NOT. That is the lesson of a true God. By the way God do not send us to hell, WE CHOOSE TO GO THERE, so your God is a little bit anger then expect, but i´ll not judge you, Listen to Jesus and maybe you´ll see something more like the true god, but no compromisse, just know Him. But if you ever really known him, do not worry, you could be safe by INVINCIBLE IGNORANCE (sorry if it sounds like a offense, ut it is a term of a Thesis from Father Paulo Ricardo about impossibilities in herd abou the real God, and this SAVES many people. Like you tha belive in this Quetzacoatl
Ok, thank you for your advise By the way, when a man dies, does his knoledge dies with him? Imagine if Thomas Edson´s discoveries died with him? So I think its not me that must grow up kid.

Why can't religious people just keep it to their self though? I don't go around telling people that pizza is amazing and that they should eat it. Why push your beliefs onto other people? The problem with religion is that some people use it to justify killing people. In science there can never be any sort of justification or order to murder other people. If your religion really is all about peace then there is no need to make a big deal about it. If you have peace of mind what does it matter what the rest of the people around you believe?
i think a lot of people are under a false assumption that people are "pushing their religion on others." Other than the yearly knock at the door by the Mormons, no one ever talks to me about religion. No one at work tries to force me to follow what they believe, either. As a matter of fact, I don't remember any time in my life where someone was actually forcing their beliefs on me. If I'm somewhere and the host asks us to bow our heads for grace over a meal, I don't count that as a horrible mean thing that puts me out. I bow my head - it makes them feel good. I'm simply being courteous. I certainly don't have to, but why be a dick about it? Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the issue. In the mid east, religion is scary.... they'll kill ya over it. In the western world, it's not an issue, though people continually freak out over it... on both sides.
+bluestudio67 Bullshit. All the blue laws they try to force on everyone else. Can you walk around naked? Can you have sex in public in the park? Why not? Religion is why, that's how they do it. With laws.
+rstevewarmorycom If your idea of a religious law is not being able to walk around naked and have sex in front of old people and children, then you're a twisted pup.
bluestudio67 That's merely a religious opinion, Such feelings are not natural but are brainwashed into people by religion. Only a religious bigot would think normalcy was "twisted", and you are a bigot.
That makes more sense, I mean if the one who gives us life is a mother, not a father. Also, various people who drank Ayahusca, describe hearing a feminine voice speak to them.
Male and female only exist because of sexual reproduction, spirits have no gender. therefore can neither be a male or female , such concept only exists down here.
Whats the point of living if you dont live for ever? Are you living for this life cause pretty soon you will forget all you experienced when you cease to exist. God put the desire to live forever in peace cause eternal life is real. Jesus rose from the dead to show us one day out bodies will rise again. His tomb is empty and the apostles died for their witness thst Christ rose from the dead.
he has yet to do it though :/ I *used* to believe in him. I grew out of that belief. because of science. Theres no evidence so why would I ever go back to believing. trying to believe in god again is like trying to trust capcom to make a new megaman game. aaand if you're in the gaming community or know a bit about megaman..... you would know they canceled four games in a row. thats how hard it would be to convince myself that god is real. you can't just say "trust that everything I say is 100% true" unless I see a reason to actually believe what you say. its not that easy to convince people to change their views.
Simon Burdett it takes more than just saying "he can prove himself". its not that simple. theres no unclenching that needs to be done. i dont claim to know whether a god exists or not since theres nothing to support or disprove the existence of one. but i personally doubt there is one. thats just my opinion, its how i think. simply saying "unclench your heart" is not going to change my process of thinking. pretty much nothing is going to change it. just because someone else thinks its true doesn't mean i have to follow their same beliefs.
I consider Dr. Kaku to be one of the most brilliant minds ever. I have nothing but respect for him. I would like to be like him. I rank in the top 1% for science comprehension and have an IQ in the 150 range. He makes me feel like an idiot. I do not fault him for that, I fault the American education system. Any American student who deserves it and qualifies for it should be given free college scholarships. We need to encourage American students to go into science and math courses by stopping the push for football players, etc. We need to encourage students to excel at scholastic achievements even if it means downplaying athletics and special needs students.

You saved me a lot of time, thanks!
Dr Kaku is a scientist who needs physical proof, however he needs to address the non physical information from many believable sources that seem to open cracks in the mystery of this temporary life. Near death experiences, psychic abilities, first hand reports of UFO and alien visitations etc. All have the ability to change our perceptions of reality.
@@rodbutler8069 scientists have addressed all of those and they all turn out to not be evidence and instead were either lies, tricks or psychological.
When he says - he needs more proof - it means he is tending towards existence if afterlife.
But my strong logic for afterlife is that when we all are existing as individuals for once then why can't it be for twice, thrice and more and for always in lot of frequencies. Yes, it can repeat again and again.
I really apprieciate how he tries to be for the most part an unbiased observer. when he is speaking on fundamentalist creationism he points out how it is flawed with straight facts, but when it comes to the after-life he shows that while he won't believe something that hasn't been proven he does seem open to the idea. I have also seen him in some talks of god, and he never seems to try to be completely for or against. I feel Michio Kaku is a great educator in that he always shows facts to what we know for certain, but never tries to shove beliefs (ideas that are made to fill in gaps between facts) down our throats, and this is why I have so much respect for him.
That's my biggest problem, as far as a Orator. Listening to false information taken as Facts . And trying not to reply in a nefarious manner .

+DexDacozed animals like lions,cats,dogs ect they stop eating when they feel they are suffering and feel like their time is up...also notice how dogs and cats they usually hide under beds and couches minutes before death?..also animals have witness other animals die. Animals are as smart as us.

Kako is truly a pleasant person, I like his objectivity and he's fun to listen to.
That's nice. If he's an eloquently spoken misguided fool I guess you're signing up for pleasantly sounding false beliefs as well? Just a theory but I doubt the physicists and the science folks just as much as the bible thumpers. Everyone thinks they know but few admit they know nothing.

Do science have proof all things in the universe .......go and research Quaran plz
fardinaula123 Thank you, I have researched the texts of all three of the monotheist Abrahamic religions, The Old Testament, The New Testament AND the Quran. There is one thing that a rational person can be certain of and that is that every person and any text that claims knowledge of, proof of, or answers to "all things in the universe" is wrong about that assertion 100% of the time.
"Who is more humble; the scientist who looks at the universe with an open mind and accepts whatever the universe has to teach us, or somebody who says everything in this book must be considered the literal truth and nevermind the falibility of all the human beings involved in the writing of this book?"

The subject of Quran is to introduce God to all human beings of all times places cultures languages, fields etc.scientists are extremely tiny fraction of that. Quran is supposed to introduce God to us and teach us the good way of life so that we live successfully on earth and hearafter. in doing so Quran states some facts about earth, universe and human life and other things around us. So far not a single fact has been proved wrong by any scientist, on the contrary many scientists have embraced Islam when came across those facts. Maurice Bucaille is one of them. That proves truth of religion and God.

The problem with your statement is that you could have easily substituted the word "Quran" with "Old Testement" and made the same case for the Jewish faith. You could also have substitued the word "Quran" with "New Testament" and made the same case for the Christian faith.
Here inlies the problem: all Abrahamic religions suggest that Allah / Yahweh / God is, at best, a coy and fickle being, or at least our limited interpretation does. These religions cannot seem to get along with themselves among different sects let alone coexisting with each other; Reformed Judaism -vs- Orthodox Judaism, Catholic -vs- Protestant, Sunni -vs- Shiite.
I believe that we ALL have historically brought great shame to our faith and dishonor to ourselves in the way that we have treated each other. Muhammad, Moses and Jesus were ALL sons of Abraham. They are brothers! I believe that they would see our behavior towards each other as an utter disgrace, as abject evil, and all done in their name. Shame, shame, shame on all of us!
I believe that our creator cares most about how we treat each other and all of creation than how we practice our ridiculous man-made dogmas. This is the truest test of our worthiness in the eyes of our creator. We are ALL chosen people because we were all born on this beautiful blue spec of dust.
When will come the day that we can all honestly and truly honor Allah / Yahweh / God with the greatest homage that we humans could possibly offer; with respect towards each other, as Father Abraham teaches? When shall we denounce those among us who disgrace by preaching literalism, hate, bigotry, intolerance, misogyny, territorialism and violence? Our greatest honor, our greatest homage should be that of PEACE! Could we start today?

Well, this week that ebola epidemic was just eradicated. Thanks to science. What your gods and churches did to solve that problem? nothing than wish a good luck.
You criticize science but you always can count on it to save your ass EVERYDAY. So, how do you think the food that sustain your life and the life of billions of people came from? god and his nature? wrong, because nature can't provide millions of tons of food naturally, so guess what? science again.

“Time is But a mere illusion.” -Albert Einstein
Personally, I don’t believe there was a beginning because you need time in order for it to begin. I believe this is just something our minds cannot accept. That we live in and infinite universe. I mean the cosmos almost prove it really.
Time isn't mere illusion, he too was reluctant in accepting the universe is not static, yet there it was expanding. What you are implying is giving the attributes of God to Universe to begin with(irrational illogical attributes that only suit god) and mind accepts it
@JaySR, I came UP with the same opinion of US living in an infinite UNIVERSE. Concrete example, is the OLD CIVILISATION in EGYPT a time CAME when everything was covered UP with DESERT SAND and every KNOWLEDGE was LOST. To me the SOLE CREATOR erases and restart everything on EARTH as HE PLEASES giving us cruelty to question OUR PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE as HUMANS. I'm SURE the RECLYING will be SOON because WE ARE TRYING TO DIG DEEP D
INTO THE THE WHOLE EXISTENCE OF THE EARTH.
"Unlike all other creatures on the planet we are the only ones who know our time is limited."
That is quite a remarkable claim without any proof.
Im sure he's referring to how deep humans' understanding of time is compared to animals.
We don't know if we have a better understanding of time than animals. It is the arrogance of humans who put themselves on top of everything. The only difference between weed and flowers, is our own judgement.
Where are the animals' government? Utilization of electricity? Cars? Planes? GPS? Space exploration? Schools? Humans intellectually exceed any other animal by miles. You really think its arrogant to think humans' have a better understanding of time, or anything at all, than animals?
PapaKay All your examples show off human intelligence, but Who is to say humans are in fact smarter or have a better perception of time? Is it because we can build atomic bombs and have striped toothpaste? I don't think that is the essential core of the universe, but that is just my opinion. The more we learn about this earth, the more I am baffled by how intelligent our environment is. Recent studies even show communication between plantlife and we merely are scratching the surface of that. There is a whole lot more to this world/universe than we could ever imagine.
Again, you judge animals like we judge everything around us and place the human race on top of it all. As I said earlier, the only difference between weed and flowers is our own judgement.

If these methodologies are genuine, then they will they will know what we don't currently know and that's great. Life or existence after death is a tough one. Unless we have methodologies that lead to talking to dead people, I believe this will remain unknown lol.
+MyworstEnemy Oh please. No one knows anything by the strictest philosophical standards. Thankfully no one uses those standards...unless desperately defending a religion they were brought up on. You don't even have to ask complicated questions to debunk ideas about heaven:
How big is it? How many people are there? How do people get around? Are there chairs? If so, does that mean people get tired in heaven? Do you need to sleep? Is it ever dark? Is it warm? Is it cold? What if I like 70 degrees and you like 60? Do people wear clothes? Do they wear the same clothes every day? If naked, do you become perfectly fit? Can you opt to have more or less hair on your body? How old are you when you get there? When infants die, do they stay in an infantile state? Do you have to eat?
It's pretty obvious that heaven is a fantasy conjured up to protect you from fear of dying. It's nonsense, and you shouldn't believe it's true for the same reason you shouldn't believe that Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings are documentaries.

it is no surprise that modern man does not take god seriously.

My point is a s*** happens but trying to explain it away by some egotistical anthropomorphic fathead just doesn't cut the mustard. All of this stuff very well could be people's interpretations of what they thought might be God but saying that doesn't mean it's God.
@@alankuntz6494 So in the end we just do not know , and all the gods are merely a human being's conception of god created by the human imagination and their own experience of life and their upbringing by their parents and the current world -view at the time when they lived.

***** Religion has historically promoted division and violence between peoples. Atheism is merely a lack of religious belief, not a gang or army that engages in aggressive proselytization in pursuit of social control. Conservative religions use law to force non-members to conform. I don't march under any banners, I'm not a Communist, and I don't want to convert anyone by force, as christianity and islam have done for centuries.
***** Religion has been the cause of many wars-- don't you even pay attention to today's headlines? It's as if your addiction to the personal pleasure that religion gives you causes you to ignore the reality of its harm.
***** Most wars being fought to day are religious. Supernatural beliefs cripples rational judgment and bring savage emotions to the fore. As the poet said, "The sleep of Reason causes monsters to be born."
***** There are no 'atheistic powers" but I think your desire to see the world burn tells us a lot about you.

Humans are the only creatures on earth that know their time is limited? So we know how dolphins and whales think? Have we translated their clicks, whistles and other sounds?
I'm not saying that Dr. Kaku's statement is false. I just want to know how we know it is true.
When a dolphin is gravely ill or injured, others of his pod won't leave him while he is alive. They will stay with him. Once he has died, only then will they will move off. So how do we know that dolphins don't understand that their time is limited?
Many animals understand the concept of death when they are in mortal danger but we live with it every day, knowing for sure that one day our life will be over
***** well, actually there's no evidence I know of that each dolphin/elephant actually knows their own time is limited. It's actually a big leap to go from "these other elephants die" to "I'm also going to die". A three year old human can learn of other people dying without understanding they too will die. Actually there may be good survival reasons for being in denial about mortality. It's often hard to function well while this fact is deeply contemplated (I mean, why go on suffering through any difficulties when your going to die eventually anyways) So we'll have to wait to decipher the clicks and whistle and ask them before we'll ever know.

If your brain is severely damaged your thinking and physiology will be severely impaired.

Anyone buying?
cristop5 Conscious function is the same for everyone regardless of intelligence. Consciousness is not a result of the brain. The brain just interfaces the consciousness with the physical world. The quality of the interfacing can degrade or be altered but the conscious willful being is the same just what changes is the experience. The biological body with the brain are just tools to operate and experience the physical world and the experience itself is not the same as the soul or the conscious mind. Don't confuse the experience with the experiencer. Don't confuse the brain processing power and memories with the mind's ability to make willful decisions. Just like the user of computer software and the software itself are two separate things is the same way that the conscious willful mind is different than the biological brain.
Clyde Ssites Prove it
Boris Alfaro No one can prove it either way. I recognize that but secular scientists like to think they have proven something they have not. Scientists like to throw around that "fact" word when all they really have is a claim or guess.
They have and that's how humans advance. You can't advance in anything if there isn't proof that your statement is true. When someone says something to be true you better be prepared to show evidence. Truth is not bias. Truth stays true no matter who or what is observing. If you state something and cannot prove it you either do not have no evidence, not stating the truth, or delusional.
Boris Alfaro you are confusing a claim with truth. They claim something to be fact and truth when it has been far from proven. You can advance simply by more evidence/data. The existing evidence and data on old ages is far from resulting in any truths as they are very lacking in their modules and have been left to use many assumptions.

I was raised Catholic early in my life and at some point I drifted from them to First Baptist for a time. I always understood I had already been baptized as a baby and pretty much figured I'd leave it at that, however since I been attending another church and possibly different doctrine, however I found they were pretty much the same. After attending on and off with the First Baptist I decided to be dunk baptized even though I already knew I was already covered when I was a baby. This happened in 2004 the same year my father fell I'll to cancer and died. I did get a chance to see him a week before he did pass and I'll never forget what he told me while in his room at the v.a. center. He was sitting at the edge of the bed and he kept rolling his oxygen hose up and putting it away and I kept having to tell he wasn't supposed to do that and he should put it back on, otherwise our conversations were pretty much small talk all of a sudden he looked at me and said "son why are you covered in water?" I asked him to explain and he said that my whole body appeared as though it was covered in water and that my sister looked the same way....it turned out that she had gotten dunk baptized too, I know he knew about her baptism but not mine and I asked her if she had said anything about it and she said "honest to God no!" I won't even try to convince anyone here what I believe especially in a room with people who need proof in something that requires surrender and faith. I now believe that people on their death beds are in the process of having their veil lifted or at least my father did and he saw something that we cant see at least till were ready. Some things are forever etched in my mind... I remember when the space shuttle blew up, the world trade center disaster etcetera, and what my father said to me in his last few days left on this earth.
Our sense perception has limits and in this life the physical world we observe comes within it. Like the light outside the visible range or the sound outside the audible range cannot be sensed yet it exists. Our physical brains too have limitations to grasp the afterlife that is proof enough to believing it. To be humbled by the infinite is far better than to believe only in a limited finite existence.

As soon as I thought that I blew throught the front door and flying over thevtennis courts. Flew for a few seconds and saw a lamp post on what looked like a campus. Was a woman walking near the post and I thought it would be funny to go down and shake the lamp post to scare her. As soon as I thought that, I was back iny body.

Being in parallel universes is probably our immortality
I honestly think this is what afterlife feels like. The moment when you’re in a very very deep sleep. The split moment you feel or try to recall from closing your eyes and sleep to just BAM, waking up, that little blank hole of space is what I think death is, which is pretty much a feeling of nothingness. No awareness, no feelings, no dreams, no anything. Think about it.
If you've ever been put under anesthesia, that's what I believe death is. You just never wake up. No dreams, no awareness, no consciousness. Same as before you were born. Non-existence. Our fear of death leads many to believe there must be something after life. What's after life is death, the end. All your fears will be gone because you'll cease to exist.

"Time" is an infinity grid. For the sake of simplicity, "time" is a measure of change.

just replying to your question ( What's not to like?)
Kaku is not really an atheist he is more of interested in Spinoza’s God or what Albert Einstein believed.
We were created without a creator, by accident. That is also a remarkable claim that requires remarkable proof.
michio kaku has now discovered proof that god or an entity exists which governs the laws in the universe.
+Michala W Pfft Sir Issac newton knew that 200 years ago.
Michala W....Has that helped you to believe, that is good because James 2:19...Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But do you believe in His Son who paid the price for your sins, if you do, tell Him, and then be baptized and turn from sin and be a new person in Christ, this will please the Father.
GamerDares Wins yep but its slightly different in what kaku has discovered. An actual entity or particles to support Spinoza god or god of the universe.he understands nothing is random & that we live in a matrix.if the entity exists it would explain the fine tuning of the universe& the maths behind the beauty & order of nature.
One Pilgrim you know what.if Michio kaku did confirm his theory of the Entity, it would convince me scientifically that there was a designer or a force behind all the beauty & order in the universe & nature.the maths behind the beauty / symmetry. .it would explain the fine tuning of the universe which cannot be explained by random processes.it gives one comfort to know there could be something out there guiding it all.
the universe is expanding, so does that mean that god is constantly 'building' the universe?
Yes He is. Best Job ever I would say.
no, expanding doesnt mean new universe, just the same universe getting stretched

All these comments below me, arguing about what's true and what's not...
Can we all agree that our time is limited? Can we recognize that the more time we spend arguing the less time we have to do what we really want to do? Just really comprehend how valuable your time is--it's the most valuable thing you'll ever have--do you really want to waste the most valuable thing you'll ever have? Will forcing your opinion on someone else really make you that much happier, that it's worth wasting your life doing?
Eternal life is real. God is something even more vague and harder to understand scientifically.
***** I've seen past what I'm up against. I'm already aware of what I'm up against. Also I said God, so therefore demigods are already out of the question.
So, as to what God, I have no idea. God could be anything for all we know. Thus the purpose of faith.
Also, I don't necessarily even believe in a God. That understanding may come later in life, but as of now I'm agnostic. If you were even able to comprehend my comment, you would understand that I said God is vague and hard to understand scientifically. And you are making a a huge misunderstanding. "Scientists" combating religion with contradiction to theology isn't scientific in the slightest. That's all opinion versus opinion and logic vs logic. None of which can ever prove that a God does or does not exist.
Now what I know to be certain is a life after death after talking with countless people who are able to detach the from the body and travel in a spiritual form which who knows maybe the spirit is a very advanced form of energy which technically could be supported with Einstein's theory if there were collected data. At first I thought this was bullshit because I was an atheist an only believed things I could relate too but then these people started to tell me what was going on in a room without even being in there. I then tried to learn how to do this myself and I've been practicing for roughly 2 years and up until about a 2 weeks ago did I actually have my first minor success.

Why does he think that humans are the only animal who knows that our time is limited? I think because of the way animals act, to protect their young, fight for resources and so forth that all animals know that they will die.
I love your work and TV appearances professor Kaku, but I must differ with you in your initial statement where you said that only humans had a concept of their limited time on Earth, and therefore, of death. I heard these same kinds of statements where others have said that animals don't have a concept of the future, which makes me wonder why then would a bird prepare for winter, build a nest, or warn other animals of impending danger. Non-human animals have an even deeper understanding (does not have to be intellectual) of their relative time on Earth. Anyone who has raised animals and has a close bond with them, while studying to understand them thoroughly, can realize this. The more I study about non-human animals and interact with them the more I realize that it is us, and not them, who still need to learn from them. In fact, much of what Homo knows about survival have been learned through observing animals in the natural world.
I completely agree with you. Prof Kaku made the classic human error in assuming that only the human race have such an awareness. The depth of soul in our friends from the animal kingdom must not be underestimated.
I'll put it this way god is the universe! it doesn't think it doesn't feel it doesn't see all it does is creat wonderful things.🙈🙉🙊
Do you have any evidence? beside your imagination? I think the universe is a bunch of dudes, laughing at how we think we are the only intelligence in the universe, and there we can't even travel beyond our little galaxy.
If it cannot feel or see then how can it create wonderful and beautiful things?
No its not. Its the flying spaghetti monster. Away with your blasphemy!
If God didnt feel or think. Then you wouldn't EXIST. A good chunk of the Universe was made just so Earth could inhabit LIFE. Look at all the creation around... Flower's, Bird's flying around, Majestic Snow cap mountains, The Grand Canyon, Trees, Grass, Vegetables/Fruit for Food, Water for drinking/fishing for food/cleaning ourselves, The perfect exchange of Oxygen between plants/trees and humans/animals, gravity, and the list goes on and on... if that aint Love and the Expression of I care to provide all these things for your Survival because he cares and your personal experience to all these thing's should bring you to a Great Awakening in your mind to show you that you are unique in this entire universe made for you and everyone else to learn to recognize his Love so that you will in turn learn to Love yourself and others on this short journey and stroll here on earth. Its faaar more complex then you understand it to be. Take 1 element out or lower/raise that element and Life doesn't exist. It all was created with razor sharp precision.
it also destroys

Sir, the way you trained The Karate Kid is remarkable. ( lol just trolling ) ... love this dude and his rationale.
Carl Sagan said something to this effect, If I really believed what Jesus taught about life after death and hell etc. I would crawl over glass to let people know. That's why Christians tell you the gospel. "There is a principle that is a bar against all knowledge, proof against all argument and which must keep people in everlasting ignorance-that principle is contempt prior to investigation." Herbert Spencer
First sentence: "Unlike any other creature, we know that are time here is limited". Exactly how does Kaku know this?
As finite beings we can not prove an infinite being with our finite methods. Think about it, anytime we deal with infinity in math or physics things just break down. So while we can't prove it, we may find it. To look for God don't look at the cosmos for proof, rather look at the cosmos for poetry and beauty and you'll find God.
I like Michio. He is sublime and soothing and rational and scientific. He, most likely grew up in a house that worshipped Buddha or Shinto as the son of Japanese immigrants. Disproving that the world is only 6000 years old is sort of like learning that Santa Claus isn`t real. The majority of religious minded people understand that. That has very little to do with their belief in afterlife. Faith in afterlife, God, Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha is mostly personal and you either have it or you don`t. If you have it, you know that it is real and you don`t require proof. If you needed proof, you could refer to those who have died and returned with their stories of afterlife. If you don`t have it, It will certainly cross your mind during your last breath on earth.
His parents were Christian missionaries. I wish I had an opportunity to ask him how that informs him, his research and his life.
I very much appreciate Michio Kaku's respectful approach to the question. I would like to point out (hopefully not to spark debate, just to perhaps clarify?) that in the Bible, books like the book of Genesis are written as legends/mythology, so naturally the conclusion that the world is 6000 years old and created in six days should by no means be drawn as fact. There are more important things in the Bible. By the way I certainly don't mean to deny religion, but hopefully speak for religion (I'm a Christian).
It doesn't speak of genesis as a myth. It does not say the world is 6000 years old.
People simply think the first time they read it, and an image forms in their mind,
that this MUST be what actually happened,
when truth is, they have it figured wrong.
Created in 6 days didn't mean it was in 6 ..EARTH..days.
To dicuss the possibility of a creator we have to assume that the creator would transcend the universe and the laws that govern it. As a Catholic we are tought that heaven is a different state of being. God is was and always will be. He is not bound by time.
Argument from authority is inadequate. We are not born Catholics, Muslims, etc. Children must be taught how not to think. I would hate to have to be paid to eviscerate a child's natural curiosity.
Romans 1:20 for since the creatioin of the world HIS invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made,even HIS eternal power and Godhead , so that they are without excuse so you make the choice where you shall spend eternity for your lack of Faith is sending you to hell! me and my house we will serve the LORD! V. Schweinfurth
Why should we believe that passage is true?
+Brad White
The bible does talk about the expansion, and the stretching of the universe. I believe the earth is 5 billions years old, and still a Christian.
Patrick Hayes When does it talk about cosmic inflation?
+Brad White All these scientists, however, were upstaged by 2500 years and more by Job, Moses, David, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and other Bible authors. The Bible’s prophets and apostles stated explicitly and repeatedly the two most fundamental properties of the big bang, a transcendent cosmic beginning a finite time period ago and a universe undergoing a general, continual expansion. In Isaiah 42:5 both properties were declared, “This is what the Lord says-He who created the heavens and stretched them out.”
+Patrick Hayes
The Hebrew verb translated “created” in Isaiah 42:5 is bara’ which has as its primary definition “bringing into existence something new, something that did not exist before.”7 The proclamation that God created (bara’) the entirety of the heavens is stated seven times in the Old Testament. (Genesis 1:1; 2:3; 2:4; Psalm 148:5; Isaiah 40:26; 42:5; 45:18). This principle of transcendent creation is made more explicit by passages like Hebrews 11:3 which states that the universe that we humans can measure and detect was made out of that which we cannot measure or detect. Also, Isaiah 45:5-22; John 1:3; and Colossians 1:15-17 stipulate that God alone is the agent for the universe’s existence. Biblical claims that God predated the universe and was actively involved in causing certain effects before the existence of the universe is not only found in Colossians 1 but also in Proverbs 8:22-31; John 17:24; Ephesians 1:4; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 1:2; and 1 Peter 1:20.

Read what you said, and then read what I said.
yes i did.
Okay. Now that you've accomplished that, respond accordingly.
Think back to where you were before your birth, can anyone remember?
MY MOMA
You cannot remember, as you had no perception or memory.
The earliest memory I can remember is when I saw pitch black, red eyes, shaped like a tiger. I felt a pinch and then crushing sensation in my right arm. I yelled and the beast got smaller and I yelled again and it kept getting smaller and smaller. It shrunk to a dot size and starting getting big again and I screamed loud as it backed down for the last time. That was all that happened then I remember waking up holding my crib I think I was still a toddler maybe 1. I've always felt brave after that if there was a word for the emotion I still feel now as a fighter of the boxing ring. It's strange too because I have a birthmark on my right arm. Oh well all of it could've just been a dream.
Typically humans can't remember anything before the age of 5. Any memories are usually completely wrong or distorted. Does that mean that you didn't exist? No.
***** Did you even read my post?The first word was typically, not universally. There are cases where humans remember before 5, it's just unlikely. You may be one of those, but as i said in my post those memories are probably anywhere from distorted to so far left field it's not even funny.
I really hate to burst your bubble but speaking "fluently" at the age of 3 is pretty average. Mind you that childhood developmental milestones aren't an exact science.
Hinduism gives alternate view...we have count of how many days have passed. Question is since when..Every story has a begining verse that appears with purple island...that is like some one landed on this purple planet when life was taking shape to emerge??
Heaven is a metaphor for the womb, childhood, the nest & the past
A time when we were sheltered, cared for, protected, fed, clothed and basically lived in a bubble
Nostalgia - a yearning for the time that we lost - "the good old days" - eternal childhood
But we can't do that - we can't run back to the womb, stay children forever. We have to grow up sometime and face the world
Reincarnation then stands for Life, Adulthood, leaving the nest and the Future
For 15 yrs I have seen many people approach death either natural occurrence or unanticipated. Two things are fact. 1. Electricity is used in any attempt to stop the process when necessary. 2. The very last moment is calm, peaceful and surreal.
We will die in this universe but not in parallel universe.
2:35 "there is no proof it (the afterlife) exists...remarkable claims require remarkable proof" hmm...seems to me the 'multiverse' explanation for for the strength of dark energy's finely-tuned value - the result of one of 10^500 versions of string theory, would also need proof. Mr. Kaku's science is beginning to look like the 21st century version of "how many Angels can dance on the head of a pin?"
Scientifically speaking, if the soul is energy, and I don't know of any religion that says otherwise, then the law of conservation of energy means the soul doesn't cease to exist the moment the body's compost. Now, where it goes after death, that I'm not gonna go near because I haven't died and then come back. Frankly, anyone who hasn't is unqualified to make unequivocal statements as to what happens after death since their opinion is thereby uninformed.
Energy though is not the same as the soul. Your mind is just a highly evolved and well ordered collection of electrochemical signals. When we die they convert to mostly 100W heat and some chemical changes. The mind is thus dead since no electrochemical signals are flowing. Conservation of energy has occurred. Order has become chaos. Entropy rules. So to believe that the law of thermodynamics applies to the minds survival as a soul is illogical.

+Ariel Fetters That presupposes a pragmatic framework for epistemology which is limited. Being there and back doesn't necessarily, in itself, allow someone to know with certainty what they've experienced. That being said, science is limited by those same constraints of a sort of pragmatic epistemology that goes along with the open world arrangement in inductive reasoning. You can't know anything with absolute, epistemic certainty through science. However, you can get close enough that it's reasonable to believe in scientific theories. I'm not saying that your analysis of the situation is wrong, but it's primarily representative of one type of logic. There are others that allow for certainty i.e. the illative sense, and deductive reasoning. However, deductive reasoning pretty much has the caveat that you're assuming something. Like, "if these things are true, then I'm certain about this other thing."
7:22 "1 foot every thousand years" 9:19 "a thousand years per inch" What? "6 inches is equivalent to Ussher's time scale for the whole of Earth's existence." First off, Ussher's timeline stated that the world began 6000bc, not 4000bc like this program is stating. Secondly, how do you go from 1 foot to 1 inch? I'm not saying that Ussher was right, or that the river didn't form the canyon(which 5 million years ago "that" river and "that" ocean were nowhere near there, but that's besides the point), I'm just saying that you should really get at least SOME facts straight before you attempt to FILM something to be on TELEVISION. I mean, good grief.
They're talking about different things. At 7:22 when he say's "1 foot every thousand years", he is talking about the rate at which the river carved the canyon down. At 9:19, when he says "a thousand years per inch", he is talking about the rate at which the sediment built up before it was eroded by the river.
Johnny Tabor Actually, the two referenced times are about the same thing, the speed at which the river was digging through the canyon.
No, they aren't. He says it took 1000 years to form a siltstone strata, which is a layer of rock formed as sediments deposit over thousands of years. Watch the clip at 9:19 again.
The show assumes you aren't stupid. Usshers time scale DID start at 4000 BC which was 6000 years ago, you're confused. You seem to have no idea about geology or plate tectonics, yes the erosion may have started 5000 years ago but the rock would have been pushed above sea level in the order or hundreds of millions of years ago, way before the existence of the river. God damit people like you annoy me. How about learning something about this world instead of waiting to get into heaven eh?
It would take an extremely incredible amount of faith for one to believe that man and life and Earth came about through some random chain of events, over the faith in a Holy God which Created everything we see by His Holy Intelligent design.
Yeah, except we have evidence for how the earth came to be, but no evidence of god.
Not really..it´s only hard for religious people to accept creation that isn´t designed by a higher being, just as it is completly nonse for those with scientific views to accept a higher being constructing something for the sake of man or whatever else nonsense, and that entity have lived for eternety before..and just suddenly decided to make the universe..which the creator of course couldn´t have since the creator is part of the universe, who designed the creator..mother of god? thats just ridiculous and completly cant be understood since the concept is even harder to understand than universe randomly creating itself...but, here´s a thing, there is no such thing as random events..cause and effect yes ..and within such microcosmic events and amount that we can not define it as anything else than random.
To me universe hasn´t been created, I have a feeling it has always been there, collapsing and expanding with blackholes and big bangs for ever and ever without no end or start, just as how far the universe goes..no end...that hydrogen is abundant, suns as well and gravity..the dynamic process of thermal laws and the universe eating itself is the cooking chief receipe for creating worlds.
we were not created by accidents or it just happened, it happened becuase it could happen and the circumstances where there for it..the rest was time and evolution, nothing strange about it, it is however a marvel and fascinating.
*****
There is a Creator Yes, but the rest was utter hogwash, there is only one thing we have learned from that kind of thermal energy it leaves death in its wake, not life.
Pete Kondolios
You are right, but man attributes that to evolution, man rejected God and His law in the beginning, God withdrew Himself from mans world to allow man to write his own destiny what doors God shuts no man can open, God has only interfered in mans life to give man some sort of order and direction.
Man likes to bring God down to his level, but we are the mere creation of this Holy Being.
When man finally realizes this, then he may be able to come to some understanding about Him.
The object lesson to all this is to do exactly what our Creator tells us, we cannot find Him any other way.
We have got to accept His Son, and the sacrifice He made for us, and believe He lives and is at the Right hand of God. And we have got to obey Him and His Commandments.
If you say you believe in Him, but do not obey His Commandments you are a Liar, and the truth is not in you.

I wonder why everyone ignores the verse in the Bible which states that for God one day is one thousand years and one thousand years is one day. Of course people take this literally but believers cannot forget that God is not confined to this specific example of time. The Earth could be as old as scientist say and it does not "shatter" Christian beliefs. I would like to add that this verse about the relationship between God and time was written long before we understood the idea of dating the age of the planet using geology.
Now, we all know a day is "one earth rotation" a month is"one orbit of the moon around the earth"and a year is"one orbit of the earth around the sun".
in the holly bible in modern english by Ferrar Fenton, 1903 quotes "By periods, God created that which produced the solar system;then that which produced the earth". Now the word "yom" which means "day" in Hebrew was used 1541 times in the KJV(king James).
in 1795"hutton's book theory of the earth made people doubt the earth was 6 thousands Years old. In 1814"thomas chalmers **gap theory** made the people accept the millions of years idea into the Bible. In 1859 Darwin's book"the origin of species"made people doubt. It's okay people come with theories inventions to make a better world right? Today's modern idea of uniformitarianism is:The present is the key to the past and the Bible is a perfect key to the past, no one is saying scientists hate spirituals, but through the history of man kind if you take Bible + Man's dating methods = Years Thousands and Millions. Time doesn't mean anything to God, God is not locked in time space mater like we are but God is how you define him as a king lord beauty a perfect scientist maybe, every one has the right to believe in his own God but also people need to learn how things work, can you imagine a world without science mathematics biology we'd go back to the stone age all im saying in my opinion we borrow from science and we borrow from the Bible And please ignore hateful comments.
I cant see how we actually could know if we are the only creatures on earth that are aware that they will eventually die.
I know that the likelihood of other animals knowing somehow is pretty low, but the declarative statement he opened with was a little brash imo.
Anyhow, carry on....
Elephants know.
Euge One I know where you're going with this, but the elephant graveyard thing is actually a myth.
I wasn't referring to a grave yard but the fact that they stop at the skeletons of dead relatives and touch the bones with their trunks.
Euge One That doesn't mean they are aware of unavoidable mortality.
It is part of an extensive study of elephants over generations which shows behaviors which are indicative of incredible memory and communication skills. We cannot read their minds but we have observed them long enough to make informed conclusions.
I demand proof that the incredible complexity of life arose from random, unguided accidents.
Its both random mutation and natural selection. There is lots of evidence out there, geology, carbon dating, fossils, biological etc.
@@joshuavd5194 Far, far short of the proof that an actual scientist should require for such an extraordinary claim.
@@bradenglettkd8zm69
your claim is a billion times more extraordinary
@@fraser_mr2009 If you think incredible complexity arose by random occurrence, then ok, but to say that's the most likely cause is pretty much unsupportable.
You said the magic words. "All religions promise an after life" If religions did not promise that, how popular would they be? People are too afraid to die. Many spend their last dime on anything that might delay the inevitable. Live to the fullest now!

Earth 6000 years old lol
+エゼキエル More like 4,5 billion years old. Lol..
***** Ayeee.
+nadoeloiskat Prove it
This is a misconception. In the beginning of Genesis, when YHWH or (God) tells (Adam) to be fruitful and multiply, he says to replenish the earth. It also says, the earth was void and without form. And darkness covered the face.
my point is, the dirt that composes the earth, and all of the elements, are likely billions of yrs old, if not timeless. What the statement here is, is that the current shape, the current time or age if you will has begun.
now there is even a timeframe offered. It says Abraham is born in 1948. The original. like 1948yrs after the fall of man. Then it says in the geneology, that from Abraham to bondage was 14generations, from bondage to exodus was 14 generations and from exodus to messiah was 14 generations. So three sets of generations. A generation being 70yrs, also taken from scripture. So 3*14*70+1948= the time span between Adam and messiah birth. Which is believed to be 3bc.
Which would make 2015 the 6900th yr after the fall of man, as of last April. of course they called it Nisan.
So, with one week of creation, a day being as 1000yrs, as he says on genesis, that puts 6900 yrs since the fall, and 7000yrs of creation. So 13,900yrs since the earth was without form.
There is nothing to say it was not once or more formed before. The translation for earth here was really land. earth means dirt. soil. solid sediment. So technically its not even referring to this planet. Scripturally the planet is Jerusalem.
any who ^^, hope that cleared some up. have a good one, and feel free to search and see if you come to the same conclusion ^^,
interesting, when Adam fell, he was told he would die that day. Adam freaked out but was reassured a day was 1000yrs. he was recorded to be 930 when he died. So exactly 70yrs shy of 1000. One generation.
Later, he says he will cut the time short for the sake of the elect, lest even they fall. well. Adam represents man, right? so exactly 70yrs from the end of this current thousand yrs is 30yrs from now. Makes me wonder if he will cut time that short for man as a whole ^^, I do not know.
+Xyphira Vos you are funny that is sad in a way,have a nice and magical life brainless man:)
Hehe,lol they didnt even considered to read the events in the Bible on the "Great Flood" during Noah's time. "the fountains of the great deep and the floodgates, or windows, of the heavens were opened, causing rain to fall on the Earth for 40 days." With that great catastrophic event in the world, it's possible to have formed even that Grand canyons in 40 days and not millions of years under normal natural process. There's another theory surfacing, the "Hydroplate theory" explaining that.
Romans 1:20, "For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God."
I believe God made it simple for us to believe He exists, cause not all of Billions of people will become scientists or have critical mind to complicate the process of believing to the One true God who is merciful. That's why understanding Him all starts with Faith, more than physical evidence, He is felt spiritually. God bless and have mercy on us!
+Kristine Marie And what's the point in believing in God aside from wasting your time? If he require you to believe in him in order to get a ticket to heaven, then he certainly is not the merciful kind of god. And if he's not that kind, then there is no point in believing in him.
If you believe in him because you want to ask him for stuff like health, money success etc... Then it's stupid. According to you, God creates human, so that make him our parents. And a good parent would eventually have to let his child stand on his own feet. Maybe God helped the human race a few thousand years ago, guide us, but now that we have science, it's our duty to solve the problem by ourself, so no point in in asking god for help.
lcbp2009 That's why He's called God, this is His world, He created us, He makes the rules, not you idiot Atheist! If you'd like to play god, you must first conquer death, if you can Not, go back to earth like us coz we are all mortals!

Pascal computes all that question. there is 50% chance of God exist, because neither can proof existance and not existance. So tou can do only 2 choices: Belive or Not !
If God does not exist and you believe in Him, so, in the day you´ll die, everything will go right; If God does not exist and you do not belive Him, so, in the day you´ll die everything will go right too; If God does exist and you believe in Him, so, in the day you´ll die, everythingo will go right too, BUT if God does exist, and you DO NOT believe in Him, so, in the day you´ll die evrythingo will go wrong. So, THINK! Wich choice is 100% secure believe Him or NOT believe in Him? It is pure math man

Well done Bishop Ussher! You have messed up every believers mind :)
Why can't religious people just keep it to their self though? I don't go around telling people that pizza is amazing and that they should eat it. Why push your beliefs onto other people? The problem with religion is that some people use it to justify killing people. In science there can never be any sort of justification or order to murder other people. If your religion really is all about peace then there is no need to make a big deal about it. If you have peace of mind what does it matter what the rest of the people around you believe?
i think a lot of people are under a false assumption that people are "pushing their religion on others." Other than the yearly knock at the door by the Mormons, no one ever talks to me about religion. No one at work tries to force me to follow what they believe, either. As a matter of fact, I don't remember any time in my life where someone was actually forcing their beliefs on me. If I'm somewhere and the host asks us to bow our heads for grace over a meal, I don't count that as a horrible mean thing that puts me out. I bow my head - it makes them feel good. I'm simply being courteous. I certainly don't have to, but why be a dick about it? Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the issue. In the mid east, religion is scary.... they'll kill ya over it. In the western world, it's not an issue, though people continually freak out over it... on both sides.
+bluestudio67 Bullshit. All the blue laws they try to force on everyone else. Can you walk around naked? Can you have sex in public in the park? Why not? Religion is why, that's how they do it. With laws.

In the oldest religions God was a female.
Correction: In the oldest 'known' religion, god was believed to be female.
That makes more sense, I mean if the one who gives us life is a mother, not a father.
Also, various people who drank Ayahusca, describe hearing a feminine voice speak to them.
God is spirit, spirit at its purest form is energy.
***** Why are you even here?
Male and female only exist because of sexual reproduction, spirits have no gender. therefore can neither be a male or female , such concept only exists down here.
..." I created the earth in 6 days" ( God)... "I can do that, hold my beer" (Zeus).
For everything to exist something had to always exited?
tom kat because we've grown into monotheism and out of worshiping errant midwayer creatures (see Truthbook.com
We get it bro you saw it on another video and your using it now 🙄
if you think that's funny...
well, i feel sorry for you,
you will probably suffer so much.
WOULD THAT BE JEZUS
I must have slept through the part about life after death.
Whats the point of living if you dont live for ever? Are you living for this life cause pretty soon you will forget all you experienced when you cease to exist. God put the desire to live forever in peace cause eternal life is real. Jesus rose from the dead to show us one day out bodies will rise again. His tomb is empty and the apostles died for their witness thst Christ rose from the dead.
Love your work Michio Kaku!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God is real. He will prove Himself to you :)
he has yet to do it though :/ I *used* to believe in him. I grew out of that belief. because of science. Theres no evidence so why would I ever go back to believing. trying to believe in god again is like trying to trust capcom to make a new megaman game. aaand if you're in the gaming community or know a bit about megaman..... you would know they canceled four games in a row. thats how hard it would be to convince myself that god is real. you can't just say "trust that everything I say is 100% true" unless I see a reason to actually believe what you say. its not that easy to convince people to change their views.
www.trf.org.au look here for evidence then talk to me :)
***** Can you PROVE God is not real? Because God can prove Himself to you. Just unclench that hard heart of yours :)
Simon Burdett it takes more than just saying "he can prove himself". its not that simple. theres no unclenching that needs to be done. i dont claim to know whether a god exists or not since theres nothing to support or disprove the existence of one. but i personally doubt there is one. thats just my opinion, its how i think. simply saying "unclench your heart" is not going to change my process of thinking. pretty much nothing is going to change it. just because someone else thinks its true doesn't mean i have to follow their same beliefs.
Yes, easily. You? :)
Being a Geologist❤, this vedio was much more interesting for me.
Very interesting program...where is the continuation of it ?
No question has been finally answered in the last few decades, except "We were wrong".
I consider Dr. Kaku to be one of the most brilliant minds ever. I have nothing but respect for him. I would like to be like him. I rank in the top 1% for science comprehension and have an IQ in the 150 range. He makes me feel like an idiot. I do not fault him for that, I fault the American education system. Any American student who deserves it and qualifies for it should be given free college scholarships. We need to encourage American students to go into science and math courses by stopping the push for football players, etc. We need to encourage students to excel at scholastic achievements even if it means downplaying athletics and special needs students.
Heres what i dont get.. someone please enlighten me.
Say, hypothetically, I die in a car accident. my consiousness is continued in a different universe where i dont die?
Like a version of me who made all my life experiences, knowledge, and decisions EXCEPT for the Death via car accident? OR
is my consiousness just a universal stream flowing through an infinate number of versions of me, all with different traits and lives. So when i die my consiousness continues in all of these versions of me?

What you described might make a pretty good Hollywood movie, if the writing it decent enough.

@@mackjonsey4999 Why it is fantasy? Are you really lucky to be here... or was it bound to happen given how big the universe is? How do you know that the unborn here aren't getting the opportunity to be born elsewhere on some other "replica" earth?
Are you really lucky... or was it bound to happen because space is infinite? Maybe life isn't a problem but for human life you need an endless universe... as infinity allows miracles ruclips.net/video/WGTBJHFNywI/видео.html Complex sequence of events which led to us.
Great to see you again :-)
Everyday everything we do on earth is for, by, of the bodies with our five senses: smell, taste, touch, hear, and see like breathing, watching, talking, eating, wearing, shopping, thinking, praying, singing, crying, haircuts so on. We do not see what our souls can do by themselves or not much the souls can do without our bodies while we live on earth. Life after death: Religions tell us that our souls live on after our bodies die. What our sous do in eternity (never end) since our souls cannot do much without the bodies? Are our souls aged or not?
What does it mean to disappear, is there a wastebasket in the universe, does time disappear, is this moment lost forever or is it accessible in some dimension always?
9:55 So the earth according to them was completely flat at the beginning and water "Carved" everything?
+Stephan Coertzen no
In string theory, do you exist in multiple dimensions? is there anything linking them or do they simply exist?
I feel like something needs to be addressed about the 'year' as referred to throughout recorded history. As i understand it, its possible that the year for Adam was a moon phase....putting Adams death at 75 years, which is about 3 lifespans for the earliest humans.
10:36 They were lucky to catch that, what a gorgeous shot.
