And You Shall Call His Name, Jesus

The birth of our Savior is one of the most important events in human history. It is the fulfillment of prophecies, it is the answer to prayers, it is the beginning of hope. God became flesh and dwelt among us.
While, personally, I don't celebrate Christmas (I don't think there is any chance this is remotely close to the actual birth of Jesus), to ignore this story in an effort to distance yourself from the materialistic trappings of the holiday is to refuse to participate in the recognition of an event that lowly shepherds, lofty kings, faithful Israelites, watchful Gentile astrologers, a humble Jewish family of little notoriety, and hosts of angels took very careful note of.
This story is historical fact and it is the answer to a question that has echoed down throughout time. "How long, LORD?!" The answer of the Incarnation of Jesus Christ is one that should be rejoiced over.

    Textual criticism doesn't verify the historicity of the accounts in the bible. It looks at trying to accurately get the correct original text, but makes no claim to the historical correctness of the original text. There's a lot of reason to believe, and many new testament scholars will freely admit, that there are good reasons to suspect the New Testament is not a reliable accounting of Jesus's life. In particular, it seems very clear that the gospel authors used the old testament as a source for events in Jesus's life, not writing from eyewitness accounts. In fact, the gospels pretty much explicitly state this several times when citing scripture. If you read professional academics on these things, new testament scholars, they'll tell you these documents are anonymous, and not eyewitness accounts. The arguments you are using are familiar to these professionals, and originate from popular level apologetics that are aimed at Christians to shore up their belief, but frequently vastly overstate the case and will pretty much straight up lie to you, I'm sorry to say. I recommend looking into the new testament review podcast, which is from phd new testament scholars, who will discuss research in these topics, and the hosts are also Christians, so I'm not even giving you an atheist resource! But they'll quickly dispatch the reliability of popular level apologetics texts for learning about the bible.

    No one's asking your to "prove god by the laws of science", whatever that's suppose to mean. All we ask to provide a structural and sound argument to support your claim. If can't, I can't believe you. Nice special pleading you've god there. "I have a girlfriend, but she goes to another school." The god exists, but I can't provide an empirical evidence for it. We know the painting has a painter, because every single example of the painting was painted by the painter. You aren't doing the same thing with the world! You don't have any examples of gods creating the universes. You're reasoning is backwards! This claim that the god transcends the reality and can't be proved by empirical evidence just another unfalsifiable special pleading. If your god doesn't interact with reality and doesn't leave any evidence of its existence it indistinguishable from non-existing. You are willing to be wrong, but I have a question would you be willing to drop a belief that wasn't proven to be true? You didn't understand the point. This two statements "Jesus haven't sinned" and "Jesus walked on water" aren't connected. You have to provide the evidence for each claim interdependently. Jesus could walk on water because he was a fucking sorcerer and he can cast a spell "Walk on water". And this pointless argument of the Bible being faithful transmitted there for it's true is just made me laugh. My copy of the Sorcerers Stone is, i'm pretty sure, extremely close to original. This doesn't make Voldemort real! Could Jameses and John lied? How can you disprove it? You keep making more and more fallacies each video

    The last point, i believe in the time of jesus, most poeple coulnt read and write. Therefore, the vast mojority of story telling was orally. Someone eventually wrote them down. We will never know who. All stories have a point of view and some are told from a witness, its not proof that they were. I will never understand why christians hold to, that the gospels were written by eyewitesses. We have no idea who wrote them or why. As far as did jesus exist, don't know and don't care, the question is, was he the exception to all of reality and was he god, and i can't find any evidence for that other than a few stories. That wouldn't work for any one outside of religion. I am pretty sure the pharaohs existed, not so sure they were gods. I have defently seen the bible change people and theyclaim that is proof the validity. I have seen hinduism change people as well, yet you probably don't hold that to hgh esteem.

    I think the problem with this challenge is that "the law" is really poorly defined. People disagree over whether the 10 commandments prohibit lies of omission, for example, and that's not getting into how there are 3 different sets of the 10 commandments in the OT. You have to realize that the Bible is a compendium of texts by different authors of different backgrounds with different worldviews and agendas. There is no singular, Biblical definition of the law. There are multiple different, contradictory laws given throughout the Bible that are often ambiguous enough to cause significant disagreements in exegesis. We can invent a theology to inform doctrine and then use that doctrine as a lens to read scripture through if we want to view the Bible as promoting a coherent, monolithic world view, but such a theology has to pick and choose from scripture to justify itself. This is why different denominations have wildly different doctrines, despite sharing the same scriptures. Yet they can all interpret Jesus as promoting and adhering to their specific doctrines. I think that demonstrates that Jesus's sinlessness is a meaningless assertion.

    I'm an atheist. I paused at 9:06, because I need to clarify this. I guess most of the atheists you hear from aren't very well read, which disappoints but doesn't surprise me. If God interacts with or has interacted with the natural world in any way, it would leave behind physical evidence that we could investigate. It doesn't matter if he transcends the natural universe. If he interacts with the universe, then he will leave behind physical evidence of that interaction. He has to, because he would be affecting physical things in ways that would be measurable and documentable. We know radiowaves and the wind exist primarily through their indirect effects, too, this isn't new territory for science. The problem with the Argument from Design is that it was created before we discovered evolution and realized that our sun is a star. When the earth was the center of the universe and we had no other explanation for how different species seemed perfectly designed for their environments, it was a genuinely compelling argument for at least Deism. But now we know that this appearance of design is the product of unguided natural forces in the form of biological evolution. God was shoved out when that gap in our knowledge was filled in. The Argument from Design just doesn't work anymore, because the appearance of design has already been explained naturalistically.

      I'm also an atheist. You've done a good job pointing out there will be an impact by any force that could possibly interact with the world. I want to point out there are more problems with arguments for design. A response that recently became popular was questioning why a god would create a physical universe at all. Lots of theism seems to work perfectly well with a purely spirit based system, the physical world itself is a useless boondoggle. Religions like Christianity love to talk about how flawed and bad the material world is, they talk about a materialist view being "just" chemicals fizzing or whatever, but this same language works against them and causes their arguments to backfire, because it makes these chemicals fizzing worthless. If chemicals fizzing is so unimpressive, why would a god explain chemical fizzing? What's important on theisms is the spiritual aspects that discount these chemicals fizzing, the chemicals might as well not fizz. There's no intention behind the fizzing. So it's seems clear that a physical world is not explained by a god at all.

    1. "I'm not going to approach in unfair way" - immediately proceeds to strawman the atheists 2. Jesus's life death and resurrection are not a fact. 3. I have seen a lot of things that weren’t real 4. Atheist doesn't have to prove anything. Atheist, at minimum, is someone who doesn't believe in the god or gods exist. 5. People aren't making science and history based on the ancient sex manuals, science and history are based on evidence. Do you have any? Apart of an old boring book? 6. If we only take the bible as evidence and nothing else, it would only be piss poor anecdotal evidence. No stronger than the Harry Potter books are evidence of Harry Potter being real. 7. What's the point of this? Why would anyone care if Jesus have sinned? How does it prove the god? 8. What's the point again? Have ever entertained a thought it didn't happen? You're trying to prove that it did? 9. Ever heard of historical fiction? 10. Once again I don't care to disprove your silly stories? Some of them aren't even falsifiable! 11. No it wouldn’t be the right thing to do. It's not the point of being a skeptic, disproving thousand outrages claims proposed by the theists. I'm not going to believe something without a sufficient evidence and neither should you. 12. "Spending that much time in a word of god" - this just assumes this is a word of god. When I read the bible i read a book. Just a book. 13. I still don't understand how proving that Jesus haven't "sinned" even if he existed and was crucified proves the existence of god? I haven't sinned ever in my life, that doesn't prove the god exist. Jesus could exist, be a "perfect" human being from a moral standpoint and the god of the bible is still being false! Which he is! 14. This is nothing to with something i want or doesn't want to believe. I can't believe something without being present with sufficient evidence for it. And the logical fallacies (non sequitur) definitely wouldn’t convince me. Do better next time. This was awful.

    Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. All science says, since it isn't possible to disprove the existence of anything, is that there is no objective, measurable evidence that any sort of supernatural entity exists. Personal testimony of miracles or visions are not evidence. Emotional conviction is not evidence. Much of what we now understand through actual evidence and scientific study are things that used to be attributed to a god...but then we learned the actual answer and the frontier of human knowledge was moved. Given the history and direction of the moving frontier of knowledge, there is precedent to assume that things we can't yet explain (such as the origin of the universe) will eventually have a scientific, non-falsifiable explanation based on objective fact even if it is currently eludes us. There has been NO discovery in the history of science that has ever been later found to have "God did it" be the better answer...but basically by definition, all scientific discoveries have gone the other direction. "Faith" is literally defined as "complete trust or confidence in something or someone" AND ALSO "strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof." So to "have faith" is to do so in the complete and utter absence of objective evidence. So until that time that objective evidence is discovered for the existence of god, a belief in god is based ENTIRELY on indoctrination, social pressure and strong emotional manipulation. Full stop.

      @@HangrySaturn ah, semantics. Neat. Ok, well since you can't seem to be able to tell the difference between literal and figurative language, here's some help: an "extraordinary" claim is something like "There is an invisible sky daddy deity who created the entire universe, who loves us and wants us to worship it, and who will punish us for thought crime and subject us to an eternity of endless torture if we don't believe in him based solely on an Iron Age book of myths that was written several generations after their supposed events took place by a superstitious and primitive people who didn't know where the sun went at night"...that's a mighty big claim based on ZERO evidence. So if you want people to believe something on this cosmic scale, you'd better have something equally significant to prove it. We cannot even fathom what that would entail because the claim is so ridiculous and so far removed from objective reality that we can't even tell you what would be needed for it. We cannot PROVE that such evidence might not ever be found, so we have to be open to the possibility that evidence COULD be given someday…but the odds are so slim based on our entire collected scientific knowledge of the last several hundred years refuting damn near every claim of the supernatural with natural answers that it isn’t worth the effort to look. If someone found IRREFUTABLE, measurable and objective proof of god, it would be the greatest scientific discovery of all time and even scientists would celebrate it. There is just isn’t anything that has even begun to show that this is even remotely likely. So yeah, you want to claim that something that unlikely exists? Prove it without using emotion, personal testimony, eye witness claims or ancient texts and then you’ll have the attention of the scientifically literate.

      @@HangrySaturn and my point was that "extraordinary" IS a subjective term and we can't conceive of what sort of evidence would be needed, but that the burden of proof lies on those making the claims not those who don't believe the claim. I also said that emotions, personal testimony and ancient texts do not count as evidence, but that is all religious people have for "proof" of god and as such does not constitute "extraordinary" evidence for such a massive claim. If someone said that Unicorns exist and live amongst us, that would be a bizarre and extraordinary claim. What would the scientific community need to verify the claim? Eye witness testimony isn't enough, someone claiming they FEEL it in their soul that they exist isn't enough, claiming to have an ancient book where they talk about unicorns isn't enough, a photo of one isn't enough with the advancement of digital technology...hell, even having a large white horse in the same room as you with a horn sticking out of its head isn't enough. What WOULD be enough? Off the top of my head, how about testing the DNA of the creature to make sure it isn't just a horse with a mutation or some other natural creature that already exists, then having those results peer reviewed by other scientists who are TRYING to prove it wrong. If they can't, then and ONLY then do you have enough evidence to make a claim that Unicorns are real. That's what you'd need for "proof" of god. Not "unexplained phenomenons/miracles", not emotions, not first person testimony...something actually measurable. So until religious folks can provide that, it isn't worth our time dwelling on it because all our collected scientific knowledge suggests otherwise. Why are you bringing History into this? Nobody today claims Alexander to be divine, nobody is trying to write legislation based on Alexander The Great's conquest. Him being real or not doesn't effect our life today. Don't change the subject.

    Is it a particle or a wave? Is it a pixelated object or a dynamic loop? The world wide web is a model of the cosmic web although not a flawless model, it's useful to compare to this universe. E=MC² tells us that matter and energy are interchangeable. This has physical and metaphysical implications. We have empirical evidence for both, physical through nuclear fission/fusion and metaphysical through the pixelated objects like icons on your desktop or mobile device. Using e=mc² as a function we can swap dark energy for material giving us an architecture capable of shaping energy into structure, giving rise to a mathematical framework which allows for possibilities to emerge, out of the fabric of said framework. Lets add an additional hard drive to my computer, this is a physical external upgrade I am making, yet that upgrade is reflected internally as free space. So external physical upgrades are reflected internally as additional space or additional hardware providing functions that wasn't there prior to upgrade. Matter and energy didn't emerge out of nothingness from non matter and energy, it's more of an evolutionary process which depends on a hierarchy. The matter and energy emerged from a possibility space, which represents a mathematical framework which allows for possibilities to spontaneously emerge through "shaping of energy into structure using architecture". Science is studying a model which was designed to help them understand reality and how the universe come into being. That's what modern computational devices are, internalized models that allow us to understand what a physical architecture is, how a physical architecture gives rise to a mathematical framework which gives rise to a possibility space, upon which metaphysical manifestations (pixelated objects) are manifest as physical objects and interactive workspaces. A spacetime continuum represents a continuation of a previous physical manifestation, not a spontaneous creation that happened accidentally. Let's compare the cosmic web to the world wide web. Cosmic Web -> Dark Energy -> Dark Matter -> Ordinary Matter World Wide Web -> Physical Architecture -> Binary Code -> Pixelated Objects The Almighty God Is With Thee in Hebrew Gematria equals 1983 The deadline for the transition from network control protocol (NCP) to TCP/IP was January 1, 1983 All nations and tongues, under one roof. Universal language, all just in time for the last hour. This date is considered the official birthday of the internet, as TCP/IP established a standard way for computer networks to communicate with each other. ARPANET and the Defense Data Network officially changed to the TCP/IP standard on January 1, 1983, hence the birth of the Internet. All networks could now be connected by a universal language. If God had a Son what would you expect him to be? If God represents the cosmic web? Would his Son represent the World Wide Web? If the cosmic web had a baby, what would it look like? The world wide web? Come on Charlotte you know you're crawling the web. Nobody has knocked the dust out of this bugger, that's why that stone hearts blackened by the sin within. A virgin older than dirt, what is it worth? Compare computer algorithms to proteins, as they perform similar functions although one serves the cosmic web and the other the world wide web. If you compare the proteins enzymatic functions, you realize they speed up chemical processes without themselves being consumed or permanently altered by the reactions. This way they retain function. The same way algorithms speed up processing of language, video and or audio production, knowing proteins and computer algorithms are part of a single tree, imagine the processing taking place under your hood. These correlations are just beginning, that's not the end of the story by any means. You can do your own research but the functions are very much aligned on different scales. Don't even waste time in the comment section I do not read them. You really think there's no structure to your family trees?

    Christians never meet science half way, they always say that is not true. I told one how can light travel for billions of light years and the universe be 6000 years old. They responded that light travels faster in space, what an excuse, or that carbon dating is not accurate, they cannot carbon date accurately back but to the dinosaurs, I told him they don't use carbon dating back that far, no matter. many refuse to even consider science. The problem they will not debate, just get defensive and cynical. They deny there are contradictions, errors, and ignore science. How can the Jewish bible and the christian bible be meshed together? Jews don't believe Jesus was the chosen one, but the Christians do, how could god reveal everything to his chosen people but not the most important issue? Jesus believed in keeping the commandment but not Paul. So according to Christians, the Jews are hell bound.

    As a Christian myself, what the atheists would have to accept is both the existence of Jesus as well as the super-natural. This is what this fellow is trying to say, in my paraphrasing. If atheists can not accept the super-natural, then that is your limitation, and so stop punishing us with your own limitations. The God question is much more slippery than "scientific proof," since He is inherently invisible. Why don't you clods just try to figure out how energy was created, for example, and leave God to the rest of us.

    If theists would not claim a position of superiority, would not claim to know more, and would not claim to have higher moral values than other people, then I don't think many people would object to the theistic point of view. Science is simply an effective and proven method to find out the truth about reality. And that includes ALL of reality, including the truth about God. Excluding God from that, is the same as saying that God is not real. 8:00 _"Christian apologists come up with evidence all the time that logically and philosophically ... proof the existence of God"_ - they THINK that they come up with evidence, but it has all been refuted many times over. 9:40 _"they cannot observe that, they cannot repeat that, they cannot test that or falsify that."_ - If nobody can observe it, repeat it, test it or falsify it, then is it really real and true? Or is it an illusion? 10:00 _"if we only operate in this field of science, then would we get rid of all of history, would have to get rid of all of art, you have to get rid of numbers, get rid of subjective experience, then we have to get rid of moral values"_ - This is such a bizarre, ridiculous and absurd statement, that I can only conclude that you are totally delusional. I expected a lot better from a channel called "Truth be told." There is not much truth in what you tell. And it is exactly this kind of statements of superiority that you need to avoid, if you want to promote a coexistence of religion and science, as you claim you do.
