Lying to the public?

just love that story!
He has told it before (or at the very least uploaded this very same footage before)
@@mugsofmirth8101 I"m glad, it doesn't matter if he has posted a 1000 times before if this is my first encounter, aye? :)
@@tripperdan I enjoyed the story as well but I wish he would have gone into more detail about the contents of his doctoral dissertation. Kinda just left us wondering...
Dr. Craig I recently heard an argument against god being omnipotent and his character. It goes like this - “When god is omnipotent but he is constrained by his character(like being just, all good, all loving) then I am also omnipotent because I can do anything which is not constrained by my character, finite human being” This really brings a lot of doubt to me please clarify
God's ability to only do good doesn't have anything to do with omnipotence, but rather the attribute of moral perfection. Humans may be innocent until they sin, but they are not intrinsically morally perfect - they have the capacity for sin. Thus, human nature allows for both good and evil, whereas God is perfect and can only choose good. This is not a divine limitation, but a perfection. - RF Admin
@@drcraigvideos I don't quite get it Dr...why does the attribute of moral perfection make God's ability to only do good nothing to do with omnipotence?Why is moral perfection not a divine limitation? Does that mean God does not have free will(in the sense of doing evil)? I am really confused...
@@JoelTenny-jq4bx Free will should not be seen as being violated even if there is only one possible outcome. Just because God cannot choose evil does not mean he is without free will. Imagine a mad scientist that is committed to alter the outcome of an election. The scientist has implanted a chip into the brain of a voter, and has the ability to manipulate him into voting on the candidate that the mad scientist is rooting for. Imagine then that the voter, to the surprise of the mad scientist, is planning on voting on the same candidate that the mad scientist is rooting for. In that case no manipulation is needed. The voters' free will remains unchallenged. In such a scenario the voter had free will in choosing the candidate, even if it would have been impossible for him to have chosen another candidate given the fact that the mad scientist would then have manipulated him.
So free will then, is only challenged if we are forced to do something that is against our nature. Since God is good, it would be against his nature to choose evil.
@JoelTenny-jq4bx
being omnipotent doesn't mean that you literally can do EVERYTHING,it means that He can only do whatever doesn't violate the perfect laws of logic that orders the universe(which He created due to his perfectmind), for example,you can't make an squared circle, that's nonsense, a perfect God must have that attribute, so,He can't sin,He can't deny itself, because he is not an imperfect man like us, He can't do something imperfect because those are not maximally great attributes,that is the reason, I recommend you to watch inspiringphilosophy ontological model explanation,that may Help you understand
But man,keep it simple, the easiest way to find God is to literally seek him in the Bible and ask him directly to reveal to you, you need FAITH, that is the only way to start a relationship with him, he wants you to participate in his perfect nature but you need to do your part, but if deep inside you you are just looking for a way to deny it and don't really want this to be true so that you can live your life on your own standards, that means you are intellectually dishonest and you are not interested, be humble man,and you will find him
God bless
@@acs1602 Brother, I am a Christian and I read the Bible. Thanks for the advice regarding relationship with God. Appreciate it.
Having faith doesn't mean silencing of critical faculties. I question just to be more confident about my faith. When I come across any difficult question I try to come up with an answer or watch any video. I couldn't get an answer for this question and it brought me a bit of doubt(but I didn't choose to stop believing since it's not an explicit contradiction, I clearly felt I was missing some point). Since Dr Craig is much better than me in these matters, I have asked him. I don't intend to look for a way to reject God. Instead by questioning I find God more clearly.
Excellent video Dr William Lane Craig
I agree
I feel like I heard this story before.
What an inspiring anecdote.
I Googled Dr Drescher and unfortunately it seems she passed away from cancer at the young age of 55.
I'm very happy to know that her path of despair was altered and she found God and is now with Him.

*The Enuma Elish would later be the inspiration for the Hebrew scribes who created the text now known as the biblical Book of Genesis.* Prior to the 19th century CE, the Bible was considered the oldest book in the world and its narratives were thought to be completely original. In the mid-19th century CE, however, European museums, as well as academic and religious institutions, sponsored excavations in Mesopotamia to find physical evidence for historical corroboration of the stories in the Bible. ***These excavations found quite the opposite, however, in that, once cuneiform was translated, it was understood that a number of biblical narratives were Mesopotamian in origin.***
*Famous stories such as the Fall of Man and the Great Flood were originally conceived and written down in Sumer,* translated and modified later in Babylon, and reworked by the Assyrians ***before they were used by the Hebrew scribes for the versions which appear in the Bible.***
***In revising the Mesopotamian creation story for their own ends, the Hebrew scribes tightened the narrative and the focus but retained the concept of the all-powerful deity who brings order from chaos.*** Marduk, in the Enuma Elish, establishes the recognizable order of the world - *just as God does in the Genesis tale* - and human beings are expected to recognize this great gift and honor the deity through service.

Eva Should've kept the wine and only flushed the tranquillizers down the Toilet". Jesus loves wine". Jesus turned water into Wine and also used the Wine to symbolise his blood at the Last Supper.
There are several verses in the Bible about Vineyards and Wine.
The Bible reveals that there is more than one Universe Gen 1:1 says. "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth". The word "Heavens" is in the plural sense. Gen 1:1 Also reveals that God created only one Earth. The word "Earth" is in the Singular sense.
Luke 2:14 Says "Glory to God in the Highest heaven" In this case, the word "Heaven" is in the Singular sense, since it describes only the one Universe". The Highest heaven is the third Universe.
The Bible revealed more than 3,000 years ago that the Universes are expanding. Psalm 104:2 and Isaiah 40:22. Again in Psalm 104:2 and Isaiah 40:22 the word Heavens is in Plural.

Deeply inspiring Dr Craig. All these atheists trying to paint you as all sorts of things, is dishonest and cruel. I'll pray for you, for your positive influence and brilliant intellect transforms many people's lives through your work.
I think some of these "atheists" are actually just bots.
There is NO god of ANY holy book. ALL gods are strictly human manufactured fiction. ALL evidence and rules of evidence point to ZERO gods. God is fiction in EVERY religion, culture, and language, everywhere, every second of every day, 365. It is just an excuse to engage in ordained hate and othering. Non-belief is JUSTIFIED! Christianity, Islam, Judaism are an absurdity full of hate and ignorance. Religion is no solution for the requirements of humanity in the 21st century. The sooner humanity understands this, the sooner we can get to work in unison for humanity actual. The divinity of Jesus is fiction, likewise that of Mohammed, likewise Moses...etc for all religions for many thousands of years, ALL fiction. Your religion is false just as much as you believe the religion across the globe is false, no one gets to be right all by themselves, instead, EVERYONE’s religion are wrong. Human created god(s).
Is this the guy who claimed to lower the bar for belief in christianity?

The Big Bang Theory isn't patristic or biblical.
Okay….
Any evidence of a gods involvement?
Or are we just filling that gap in our knowledge with a god?
Any suggestion that the cause of nature's existence is itself part of nature would inherently suggest a contradiction. If nature has a cause, then by simple logic we can know therefore the cause itself cannot be part of nature.
Any evidence of nature's involvement? Oh, I forget, nature came into existence together with the universe, so it's silly to claim it existed prior to then create from nothing. Are you somehow filling that gap with future science?
Remember, if you "don't know", you don't get to reject anything else offered as an explanation, well because you don't know. And if not natural, then supernatural, which is the obvious line of reasoning to make.
Only an American would make a statement that ignorant.
@@LawlessNate
As far as we can tell, nature has always existed. Nothing new came into existence at the big bang. It just started expanding.
@@jdshl8423
The big bang theory does not say that anything was created.
It says that everything already existed, and the universe expanded.
So not only are you filling a gap with your god, but you are making up the gap to begin with. It's god of the non-existent gap.
✝️✝️✝️
I remember when atheists would talk about the big bang in every other sentence. Then one day it became more known that theists were using the big bang in their cosmological arguments, and now I legit don't remember the last time I heard an atheist bring it up. And when they do, they now say things like well the big bang isn't necessarily the beginning of everything. Especially when they're trying to debunk cosmological arguments 😂. PS I'm agnostic.
Your agnostic what?
You either believe that there are gods, or you don't. Agnosticism isn't a middle ground, it's a response to a different question.
What do you find funny about atheists pointing out how theists misrepresent the big bang theory? The theory doesn't say anything about anything coming into existence. It talks about the already existing universe expanding.
The Big Bang does not say the Universe had a beginning. The Big Bang says the Universe was once a dense concentration of matter than 13.8 billion started to expand to arrive at its current state.

Dr. Craig's contention is not that God existed before time. That would be incoherent. Rather, his view is that God was timeless without creation and then entered temporal relations at the moment of creation. Creation is simultaneous with the first moment of time. When else would it be? - RF Admin
@@drcraigvideos
"Dr. Craig's contention is not that God existed before time"
Good. Which would mean that God started to exist simultaneosly with the universe.
"God was"
"and then"
Those are very obvioisly temporal terms. There could not be no "was" or "then" without time.
"entered temporal relations at the moment of creation"
But who did the creation? Couldn't have been God, since you say that he was trimeless, that is to say, did nothing at all. Couldn't coherently do anything at all, since doing is change and change is only possible in the context of time.
"Creation is simultaneous with the first moment of time."
That's incoherent. In the first moment of time time already existed. You can't create something that already existed, that would be incoherent. Even if all of time, not just the specific instantation of space-time in our observable universe is finite (which has not been demonstrated), God, even if demonstrated to exist, couldn't coherently be the creator of it. And time didn't exist by itself, it is linked with space, and, of course, space-time can't exist without something to exist IN them, so matter and energy also existed for all time and couldn't have been coherently be created (which is supported by the first law of thermodynamics).
Christians always insist on the most incoherent positions for absolutely no reason. Nothing would change about the mesage of Jesus if they were to say that pace-time, matter and energyexisted eternally and God just gave the universe form. That wouyld be coherent and would be supported by the Bible: " the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters".

William Lane Craig is making straw man argument. Cosmology does not explain the origin of the Cosmos. It was never designed to that. Cosmology explains how the Cosmos evolved from a hot dense star with matter evenly distributed everywhere to its present of being nearly empty with matter clumped together into varying structures. Some physicists take the theory beyond what it was designed to explain and end up with nonsense. That is because cosmologist do not know the initial conditions of the Cosmos in order to determine if there as a beginning or even if a beginning is possible.
Sure... it's all an illusion anyway, right?
@@UniteAgainstEvil William Lane Craigs claims are all illusions.
"William Lane Craig is making straw man argument. Cosmology does not explain the origin of the Cosmos." WRONG. Craig has indicated that the discipline of Cosmology revealed that our universe had a DEFINED BEGINNING.

Holy cow, Craig literally has no understanding of basic cosmology. You can't contract galaxies and celestial phenomena back to the big bang by holding their properties intact as Craig's trynna smuggle. Galaxies do not get closer and closer at all, in the way Craig conveys. That would imply that Craig thinks that galaxies existed in the first second of the Big Bang. What the fuck? I mean, certain range of the expansion is needed for galaxies to form in the first place. So Craig's view is obviously uninformed. The problem I see here is rather different. Craig doesn't question at all the argument Barrow and Tipler presented, since it serves Craig's intention. Intention is of course to push the agenda that scientists ultimately agree with him that god created the universe , right? So why does Craig give a pass to a fallacious conclusion that singularity means creation ex nihilo? Because it serves his purpose. Totally embarrassing expression of pure dishonesty by Craig.
Nice word salad
You need to read some of Craig's writings and watch more of his videos. It's true, Craig is not a scientist, but he has, for many decades, actually, taken the time to learn from many different scientists - those who believe in God and those who do not. He has read their works, met with and interviewed them personally (including Roger Penrose), and has debated many of them including Sean Carroll and Lawrence Krause, on this topic of cosmology. So I think your claim that "Craig literally has no understanding of basic cosmology" is quite off the mark.
He has a basic understanding of cosmology. Thats as far as it goes.
