I was ten and about to be run over by a train.I called out to God to Help me and was instantly lifted up by my armpits and was stood up off of the tracks just as the train swept past.I know God is real and Alive because I am still alive.He Lives and hears us in our time of need.Praise God and thank you Jesus.And I thank my Mother for teaching me about Jesus when I was a small child.I knew I was going to be ran over and the words out of my mouth was God Help me.And He did.
Shame he doesn't seem to care about all those millions of children that die every year from cancer and other diseases or, in fact, all the children get that run over or killed in car crashes. A mum, dad and daughters, 4 and 9, among crash dead in England only last Sunday 20th July 2024. Where was god then?

Those with one foot in fantasyland authorize themselves to weigh-in on whatnot as if Earth had gravity-free zones & magic. The religious don't have ears to hear, the books of God are filled with faith & prayers: Nothing fails like prayers in a children's hospital, the religious are only into convincing themselves. Rabbi Podium Jockey should not take himself so seriously, nobody should. The religious have no quality-controls. God knows, god helps those helping themselves is a saying because gods have a perfect record of nothing doing outside of fiction. One might expect a deity to make itself known to everyone without work performed in interpretations of old literature by guys like our verbose podium jockey. Who in their right mind promotes travel as if best done with one foot in fantasyland vocabulary. Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy. Nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital, and these wolves in sheep's clothing advocate prayer & faith verbiage. Even Jesus Christ said faith was worthless if you can't move mountains by issuing voice commands. What is moral or ethical about suggestions of travel with one foot in some religious fantasyland? A house divided cannot stand. We vote because Christians have no quality-controls, & we desire those governing not making suggestions travel is best done with one foot in someone's fantasyland. 'Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.'' Come, let us worship Jesus. Let us all forget it was secular law & order ending the inquisitions & witch-killings. Let us forget we have a saying: God helps those helping themselves, because gods have a perfect record of doing nothing. Let us ignore nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital. Let us ignore a wicked generation seeks signs. Theologians grant the titles to each other without a deity certification. A deity unable to be acknowledged by everyone is a forgery based on literature. Oppression builds character among the dominated. Who do you think nailed the king of the Jews, when Imperial Rome controlled temples & publications? Just for the fun of it, have their Messiah say render to Caesar? My sheep hear my voice. Think not I come with peace, but sword. The literate of the age; built religions & made propaganda, devalued the currency, too. Marvel not I say you are all gods, and so on & so on. Faith is a fantasyland term, & the Christians hate to hear it. If faith had any value, then you could move mountains by voice-command. We know there is no god outside of fiction. Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy. The Christians slapped their books on the Old Testament, & the Mormons glued theirs on to them both, thus proving Christians lack quality-control. Think not I come with peace, but sword. I come to divide this that and the other thing, & I give you tax exempt status. When you realize the Gospels are mythology based on Greek epics - Dr. Dennis MacDonald
John Lennox is absolutely one of the best speakers in explaining in layman terms. Most of us are not scientists or a professor. I love it he is a Christian and put it all together with science. A great man.
1) I admire the KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM of the GREATEST, WISEST and ONLY PERFECT MAN who ever existed here on earth -- the LORD JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD (Matt. 1:18, Mark 1:1, John 10:36)/MAN (John 8:40)/FLESH AND BONES (Luke 24:39) and won't give my admiration to anyone less. 2) Whatever admiration given to imperfect human beings here on earth won't make, even one step closer to SALVATION/ETERNAL LIFE in the KINGDOM OF GOD. 3) But giving the ADMIRATION and PRAISES to the LORD JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD for the TRUTH he revealed which are all written in the HOLY BIBLE (KJV) would make ALL THE WAY to SALVATION/ETERNAL LIFE in the KINGDOM OF GOD/FATHER (John 14:6).
@@Practical.Wisdom What do you mean? I can prove logically God is an ABSOLUTE he logically exists. It is simple to demonstrate a false scientific hypothesis. If I demonstrate a hypothesis is A is B, ILLOGICAL IMPOSSIBLE CONTRADICTION, it is an ABSOLUTE FALSE SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS. For example, the ONTOLOGICAL EPISTEMOLOGY ARGUMENT A is B A is non conscious non intelligent non being non moral non legal non just caused the A is B illogical impossible contradiction effect of B your conscious intelligent being moral legal and just This is an ABSOLUTE FALSE SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS never evidenced in nature or labs but A isn't B the law of non contradiction evidenced in nature and labs all day long A law of abiogenesis caused the effect of A law of abiogenesis A is A B law of biogenesis causes the logical non contradiction effect of B law of biogenesis B is B This is an ABSOLUTE a true scientific hypothesis A isn't B. Simple eh bro. I will debate anyone and end the argument in mere minutes.😅😊
When someone loves to question and has the courage to use the brain, you feel often very much like an alien. A lot of Christians are so scared to combine faith with science. I love to listen to John Lennox. It's challenging because I didn't go to university. But even with my 70 years it makes me hungry for more to learn. 🙂 Thank you for the Video!
Funny he disappointed me the first time i watched and that was the last time , claims of faith are not science. Lennox is up their with Stephen hawking as a defiler of science and leading science down the path of superstition and ignorance.
@@Bones151 No he doesn't, he demonstrates how apologists always use the same nonsense arguments and how many ignorant fools who can't or won't think for themselves are happy to swallow them.
@cliveadams7629 so because you disagree your supposedly more intelligent. That's a very interesting assumption. 🤔 it's always about intelligents yet Dr. Lennox is a Mathematician, and college professor. Very good observation on your part 👏👏👏
Amen brother Amen. Without humility you can’t see truth/wisdom absolutely beyond yourself, it is because God made everything this way and is the ultimate psychologist and sooo beyond human psychology and he is the ultimate in every other field as well. The holy spirit lives in my heart, thank you Jesus, Jesus lives
When I was 8 in 1963, walking to catch a bus to school, I was hit in the back by an abusive person. I blacked out. When I awoke, the bus driver was standing over me. He had seen the attack and parked the bus. He said to my abuser, "It's a good thing for you she woke up!" I could hardly breathe. All the breathing sacks in my lungs felt shattered. He helped me onto the bus and when we got to school, he took me to the school nurse, who made me lie down. The doctor and the police were called. Since it was a Catholic school, the priest was called, too. He was out visiting other sick and dying people. The doctor came first. He said there was nothing he could do for me. He said my lungs were filling with blood and I was only breathing with the very top of my lungs. It had felt like my lungs were ripped inside with shards of cut glass, but as the blood filled them, they felt hot and heavy, and the pain went away where no air could get through the cuts the blow had shattered through my alveoli. Two nuns stayed with me, comforting me. Two policemen came and said they would arrest the person who did this to me as soon as I would go to Heaven. Finally, the priest came and gave me Jesus in Holy Communion. Then he anointed me with the Sacrament of Extreme Unction. I felt the Holy Spirit in the blessed oil like a golden, glowing warmth that flowed from my forehead down into my lungs. As the warmth flowed from the top of my lungs to the bottom, I felt them instantly heal. Then I fell immediately asleep. When I awoke, it was almost time to go home. The nuns had a hot lunch for me to eat. The police and the doctor had left, since I had been miraculously healed. Praise God! This happened in Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania. Jesus, God the Son, is really Who He said He is, and He still lives and works today
Oh my God. I cried from the joy of your biggest miracle that God made for you. It's such an amazing story you have to share it everywhere and we are lucky to have read it. Thank you for your message given to humanity. We are blessed by God. Thanks God for the internet so we can share our faith and testimony to everyone. Thanks to this channel also that invites Dr Lennox my favourite scientist of God. What we have to do is use the internet for promotion of the Living God because there are many four billion people in the world who don't know anything about our Living God, Jesus Christ. God bless you.
I could cry at how wonderful this made me feel. I’m a bit of a ditz but I still I understood the concepts and complex words in their contexts! Hooray for teachers that actually teach 🙏🏾😭
People Who have been given the gift of a brilliant intellect such as John Lennox and follow Truth acknowledging Jesus Christ as The Ultimate Truth encourage others to go on that journey to set themselves Free. Thank you Samuel and John for sharing the Wisdom and pointing The Way which leads to TRUTH Freedom and Life. Praise The Lord and God Bless His Holy City JERUSALEM
Aww, what a nice way for Mr. John Lennox to end his time with Samual, saying that it was one of his best interviews. He’s done a ton of interviews so that’s a very kind compliment❤❤
John, I love your wisdom and your soul. The problem with so many doubters is the question of suffering. This is the unanswerable question…I’m glad you brought this up at the end of your talk. I’d like to hear much much more about this because I think it holds so many people back.
This very important interview really opened my mind and further strengthened my faith in GOD. Also arouse my interests to read Prof. Lennox's books after C.S. Lewis.
Sir John lennox thank you for speaking the truth because so many people are afraid of speaking the truth, sir John lennox GOD will continue to bless you in everything
Thank you Lord at the age of 68 I came across this great witness of God. I can listen to you everyday prof. You truly a man of the living God. You are already a blessing
It was wonderful to hear Mr Lennox say " this is the best interview I have ever done " . I have watched countless interviews/debates involving John Lennox , and I have never seen his demeanor so relaxed . One can see that he is truly enjoying himself in this interview .. Your smile after hearing him say this shows that his comment was not scripted . It must of felt fantastic .. I have liked & subscribed Sir ...
Like all true scientists, the wisdom of the Bible permeates his thought processes, and the pursuit of the truth in our life is blessed by God, and Dr Lennox is an excellent example.
Mr. Lennox heard the gospel and accepted it and it grew and we hear it today. The parable of the sower is true, he against all the science dogma continues to bear the fruits of the Spirit. Blessed be the Lord and King Jesus.
God bless and keep you and yours in good health and safety to teach us these wonderful truths. We live in the Uk and hope to visit NI for the first time this weekend. Our son who is training to be a Minister of God’s Word is engaged to a girl from there. Thank you for teaching us the Truth of God’s Word !🙏👍🏽
Perhaps the most alluring and fascinating explanations to reality after two millenia, comes forth from the symbolism inherent to Ascencion and Pentecost: the role of the Holy Spirit . Whenever possible I would love to hear what Professor Lennox may have to say around this particular point. I couldn't stop privately and enthusiastically clap after the interview finished.
My 43 years mother of five children, gave birth to me in a very precarious situation being at home. At last in maternity, I was delivered by c-section after a failed forceps procedure in 1953. I thank God for being alive because my parents, if they weren't Christians, probably would have decided on an abortion. The moral Christian view is why I live today with faith in Jesus Christ, Who first suffered for me before my own individual suffering, with a meaning for eternal life. I love God and I believe He loves me as mankind he died for. I have decided to accept Jesus, repudiate sin but love the sinner.
Managerial Truth (joke) - A man flying in a hot air balloon realizes he’s lost. He spots a man below and shouts, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I’d meet him half an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.” The man below replies, “Yes. You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above the ground. You’re at 40 degrees latitude and 58 degrees longitude.” The balloonist says, “You must be a manager.” The man replies, “I am! How did you know?” The balloonist says, “Everything you told me is technically correct, but it’s of no use to anyone.” The manager retorts, “You must be an engineer.” The balloonist says, “I am! How did you know?” The manager replies, “Well, you don’t know where you are or where you’re going, but you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in the same position you were before we met, but now it’s my fault!”
How blessed are we to have the wonderful, brilliant, charming John Lennox - he is, as a recent commenter said, the C.S. Lewis of our time. And many thanks to Samuel who did such a good job as interviewer (it was lovely seeing Prof Lennox compliment him there at the end).
Thank you very much for sharing this! I'm glad you both enjoy these conversations. It's for people like you that I continue to do this work @@sharonannc.3079 .
I thank the Lord for John Lennox for representing Him in a brilliant manner. Challenging intellectuals and arrogant thinkers! Truth is a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ! Profound.. I love it!
Amen!! In the beginning was the WORD. The Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him And without Him, nothing was made that was made.
Thank God for these people who lead through their refined minds the hard conversations of faith While I am always amazed at professor Lennox’s great insight and wisdom I want to say Congratulations to Samuel. All through the interview I was impressed with your deep knowledge of the subject and relevant bibliography.
Thank you for your interest and kind words. The interview was split in two (I published the other, shorter, video separately). Stay tuned for my upcoming interview with John on AI, scheduled to be published next week.
been years listening to John and seeing him advance in age makes me cry, I wish we could listen to his wisdom forever. But we are grateful for all he that he is and what he shares in this world.
As a Northern Irish catholic of 50yrs old from Fermanagh, near the Monaghan border, it would probably be a little surprising to hear me declare that Professor John Lennox is an absolute hero of mine. He answers some of the biggest Christian questions in simple and truly acceptable ways that bring comfort and strength to all christians who struggle with the bigger questions. This man has made my faith so much stronger and easier. I will be eternally grateful to, and for, him. He's a blessing from God and he will eternally have a place in my heart and in my prayers 🙏
Thanks a lot Samuel for this extraordinary interview. Amazing questions! And also, thanks Prof. Lenox for sharing with us your wisdom! I am writing from Peru, in South America, so that it is an explicit manifestation of the broad influence you, both, have been getting.
Thanks a lot Alejandro. This is really encouraging! It is for people like you that I started this little podcast. I hope you'll also enjoy my upcoming interview with John Lennox on Artificial Intelligence (to be published in October).
@@Practical.Wisdom I, too, agree and congratulate you on this interview. If I could make an Eulerian diagram in which to place the disciplines and their contemporary coryphaei, I would place John Lennox in the innermost circle, that of empirical science, Peter Kreeft in the philosophical one, Pope Benedict in the theological one, and an Italian mystic, Luisa Piccarreta, in the outermost one, and more intimate with God, hallelujah!
Well that’s more than enough reason to subscribe! That was a fascinating interview! It must’ve been gratifying to get such high praise from John Lennox! Well done! 👍
was lewis also a mason who flashes the signs non stop? wont shock me ...they all are , Gods actual servants , were in the streets doing all the work he commanded and not even 1 soul knows about it , these guys are the wolves in wool Jesus warned about , even though i admit they are good at making atheism look weak , its apart of their deception , they are most interested in winning your heart so you follow their doctrine which leads to hell .... take your tips from them to fight atheism , go for it , stay away from their christian doctrine ....its always a lukewarm gospel of some truths and many lies.
3:11: 📚 John Lennox discusses the concept of truth, challenging the idea that science is the only way to truth and emphasizing that truth is ultimately a person, Jesus Christ. 8:40: 🤔 Reason and revelation are not in opposition, but rather work together to understand the truth about God. 13:58: 📚 John Lennox discusses the importance of defending the faith and the different categories of evidence. 20:53: 🤔 Faith is not blind and requires evidence; moral and truth relativism are not practical; Big Bang theory confirms the idea of a beginning. 27:56: 🌍 The speaker suggests that science is influenced by Aristotle's ideas of the eternity of the universe hindering the consideration of the biblical worldview of the beginning of the universe. 35:48: 📚 The speaker discusses the relationship between biology, evolution, and atheism, highlighting that atheism cannot be logically deduced from biology and that the neo-Darwinian synthesis is now being challenged within the scientific community. 42:10: 🌌 The speaker discusses the Aristotelian view of the universe and the concept of multiple dimensions, suggesting that there may be another dimension beyond death. 53:07: 📚 There are clues in nature and the human genome that suggest the existence of an intelligent mind behind them. 56:27: 🤔 The debate between science and God is still relevant, but there is a shift towards focusing on meaning and identity; Christians should engage with other worldviews and religions. 1:04:02: 💡 The importance of defending and bringing meaning into people's lives through intellectual credibility and moral effects is crucial for universities and Christians. Recap by Tammy AI
Nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital. What is moral or ethical about suggesting people believing they hear the voice of god, or understand the mind of a deity by the bible? Has anyone, ever, seen a deity do anything outside of fiction? Don't you think if a deity exits & everyone is not aware of it, then the deity title is being fudged a tad bit? The Christians slapped their books on the OT, & the Mormons glued theirs on to them both. Professor John Lennox is a showman, of the lord Monkton, God of the gaps, sophistry kind. Any deity outside of fiction which is unknown to everyone is bearing witness to fudging the deity scam, producing theater in an immoral or unethical space. It was secular law & order ending the witch-burning & inquisitions of those with special relationships with fiction. Christians don't have any quality-control, so we vote to govern away from those proposing we travel best with one foot in fantasyland. He preaches to the choir & all he has to do is be cheerful, name drop, & sell books. Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy. Gods, outside of fiction, have a perfect record of doing nothing, so we have a saying: God helps those helping themselves.

I am so grateful and privileged to hear from you both...!!! As a student my understanding is the following about the topics you have talked about...here...!!! 1) GOD is WISDOM... Means God either gives us or created wisdom within us...!!! 2 ) WISDOM comes from CARING...!!! ( GOD CARES )...!!! 3) SCIENCE is the SECRET, HE hides within us and in the PRAPANCHAM...and with wisdom ( God) we coud unravel it...!!! Science contains ART, MATH and LOGIC & PHILOSOPHY...!!! 4) Our problems are due to LACK OF CARING FOR ANYTHING... Means we do not care to understand ourselves and God..ike who we are and how we connected to GOD infinitely and the importance of GOD'S PRESENCE in each ones life... that is inevitably required...!!! 5 ) WE HAVE NOT LEARNED YET TO : Distinguish between TRUE FAITH and RELIGION...!!! 6 ) WE GIVE IMPORTANCE TO RITUALS... NOT THE REAL & TRUE SPIRITUALITY...!!! 7) JESUS the GREATEST SCHOLAR OF VEDHIC KNOWLEDGE, AND PHILOSOPHY OF MODERN ERA talmed about it... means TRUE FAITH IS ABOUT CARING... NOT RITUALS...!!! ( CARING not about its literal meaning... but it is vast beyond time and space... Remember JESUS wanted to UNITE HUMANITY in PEACE & HAPPINESS )...!!! GOD... THE WISDOM... THE GOODNESS within us... THE DIVINE POWER... teach us that we are NOT GOD...We are SON OF MAN... man/ human is HIS creation... in his image...!!! GOD is INFINITE & ETERNAL...!!! Humans are FINITE & MORTAL...!!! GOD is the only one who is PERFECT, HOLY and contain TBE INFINITE WISDOM...!!! Err is human... That is why GOD holds the strings and beads of BEAUTY, BALANCE AND PURITY to have EVERYTHING & EVERYONE IN ORDER... IN EQUILIBRIUM...!!! GOD Correct, Repair Rebuild and RENEW ( Make everything pure, beautiful and balanced... AGAIN AND AGAIN... IN HIS TIME & SPACE...!!! THANK YOU...FOR considering my understanding...!!!
Dr Lennox is amazing and I admire him greatly. Having said that first, I now am compelled to tell you how a country boy, hillbilly, like me would answer the question, "what is truth ?". Truth is what is. Said another way, truth is what exists, historically, presently, and what will exist. The primary truth is God. He desires us to know that, thus, His very name. God, being omniscient knows that if we don't grasp the primary, the fundamental, foundational, then giving us further truth is irrelevant. We are not in the year 2023 supposed to be discovering what truth means, We should be a sevaral thousand years smarter than that. My two cents, but free today.
I love how Dr. Lennox won people to Christ with his winsome personality. "The greatest of these is love!" We can't always debate people into the kingdom.
Incredible interview! JL is truly a gift to this world. God bless him. What an incredible soul! I like his point about intelligent atheists coming up with theories as a sort of smokescreen to avoid the deeper question that a belief in God would lead to... that we ARE accountable for our wrongdoings. Also, I love the questions of asking an ordinary Christian to explain these things, because many people may not have the appropriate level of knowledge or reasoning to argue these points in a more detailed and comprehensive manner. Science is one measure used to explain the world, but certainly not the only one. Also science has been proven wrong numerous times, but the Bible has not. I see science as an observation more than an explanation due to its inherent fallacies, not mutually exclusive from religion.
Every study has shown that atheists, like me, are just as moral as religious believers. And we don't burn people or kill them for their beliefs. (I am not a communist, by the way, and communists and the Roman Catholic fascists killed people in the name of another ideology, not in the name of atheism)
Science has been proven wrong numerous times : yes, and it will be proven wrong other numerous times. The Bible has not (been proven wrong): why hem, it is easy to show that the Bible is full of factual and conceptual errors; it is also full of factual historic hints of true events (which is normal as its aim is to relate the history and beliefs of pre roman Jewish people, then with the NT the history of Jesus and first followers) and full of valuable concepts such as importance of charity. Both science and Bible are imperfect and prone to interpretations. But science can (and is compelled to) find a way to rectify its errors, while Bible cannot be rectified (although it can be subject to a number of interpretations and understandings among Jewish and Christians, who are divided in a number of branches). All human civilisations think that humans are accountable for their wrongdoings.
God bless this man! He has a genuine enthusiasm that is contagious. I'm delighted to find myself smiling while listening.

Once I came across John Lennox on youtube, I can't stop listening to his very thought-provoking discussions.
Thank you, he's a very humble man of faith. I've prepared another interview with him on AI which I hope to publish in November.
He needs some counselling from a belief system abuse psychotherapist. Most Christian apologists need such real ✔️ checks. G'day.
@Practical.Wisdom No he's not. He must know that most of what he says is outright wrong and designed to deceive.

Indeed, John Lennox, Thomas Sowell, David Berlinski, Keith Ward, Gary Habermas and many others are powerful resources.
like that under all the particles and subparticles discovered by the scientific method, there is Jesus just being the Truth?

A deity unable to be acknowledged by everyone is a forgery based on literature.
Oppression builds character among the dominated.
Who do you think nailed the king of the Jews, when Imperial Rome controlled temples & publications?
Just for the fun of it, have their Messiah say render to Caesar?
My sheep hear my voice.
Think not I come with peace, but sword.
The literate of the age; built religions & made propaganda, devalued the currency, too.
Marvel not I say you are all gods, and so on & so on.
Faith is a fantasyland term, & the Christians hate to hear it.
If faith had any value, then you could move mountains by voice-command.
We know there is no god outside of fiction.
Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy.
The Christians slapped their books on the Old Testament, & the Mormons glued theirs on to them both, thus proving Christians lack quality-control.
Think not I come with peace, but sword.
I come to divide this that and the other thing, & I give you tax exempt status.

John Lennox is absolutely one of the best speakers in explaining in layman terms. Most of us are not scientists or a professor. I love it he is a Christian and put it all together with science. A great man.
Really? I am amazed anyone takes him seriously. He literally doesn't explain anything, just preaching.
Maybe there are issues with your listening and attention skills🙏@@aleksandarlikic7460
Am I the only one who has to rewind every once in a while to catch up with his logic. Brilliant.
And you know his logic actually makes sense because his a briallian mathematician
NOOOOOO! I'm constantly doing it to take notes and write down books and authors.
@@odzychris7996 hahaha
heck, yeah
No don't worry! I just listen to it over and over!
My admiration for Prof Lennox is without boundaries. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, intellect and WISDOM with us.
Thank you for your kind comment! I read some of the comments to John and he was very happy to see people found this conversation helpful!
Lennox is unable to distinguish between reality and fairy tales!
He lacks proper knowledge!
He does not understand science!
.
1) I admire the KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM of the GREATEST, WISEST and ONLY PERFECT MAN who ever existed here on earth -- the LORD JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD (Matt. 1:18, Mark 1:1, John 10:36)/MAN (John 8:40)/FLESH AND BONES (Luke 24:39) and won't give my admiration to anyone less.
2) Whatever admiration given to imperfect human beings here on earth won't make, even one step closer to SALVATION/ETERNAL LIFE in the KINGDOM OF GOD.
3) But giving the ADMIRATION and PRAISES to the LORD JESUS CHRIST/SON OF GOD for the TRUTH he revealed which are all written in the HOLY BIBLE (KJV) would make ALL THE WAY to SALVATION/ETERNAL LIFE in the KINGDOM OF GOD/FATHER (John 14:6).
Religion is bullshit
@@Practical.Wisdom
What do you mean? I can prove logically God is an ABSOLUTE he logically exists. It is simple to demonstrate a false scientific hypothesis. If I demonstrate a hypothesis is A is B, ILLOGICAL IMPOSSIBLE CONTRADICTION, it is an ABSOLUTE FALSE SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS. For example, the ONTOLOGICAL EPISTEMOLOGY ARGUMENT
A is B
A is non conscious non intelligent non being non moral non legal non just caused the A is B illogical impossible contradiction effect of
B your conscious intelligent being moral legal and just
This is an ABSOLUTE FALSE SCIENTIFIC HYPOTHESIS never evidenced in nature or labs but
A isn't B the law of non contradiction evidenced in nature and labs all day long
A law of abiogenesis caused the effect of
A law of abiogenesis
A is A
B law of biogenesis causes the logical non contradiction effect of
B law of biogenesis
B is B
This is an ABSOLUTE a true scientific hypothesis A isn't B. Simple eh bro. I will debate anyone and end the argument in mere minutes.😅😊
When someone loves to question and has the courage to use the brain, you feel often very much like an alien. A lot of Christians are so scared to combine faith with science. I love to listen to John Lennox. It's challenging because I didn't go to university. But even with my 70 years it makes me hungry for more to learn. 🙂 Thank you for the Video!
But there are a great many who do understand that God created, authored, science. Of course this follows as Adonai created everything.
Lennox interviews/debates never disappoint!
Funny he disappointed me the first time i watched and that was the last time , claims of faith are not science.
Lennox is up their with Stephen hawking as a defiler of science and leading science down the path of superstition and ignorance.
Smug and self-satisfied windbag.
He makes so many great points
@@Bones151 No he doesn't, he demonstrates how apologists always use the same nonsense arguments and how many ignorant fools who can't or won't think for themselves are happy to swallow them.
@cliveadams7629 so because you disagree your supposedly more intelligent. That's a very interesting assumption. 🤔 it's always about intelligents yet Dr. Lennox is a Mathematician, and college professor. Very good observation on your part 👏👏👏
This is how a discussion should be. Both thinkers were on a quest for truth. No insults, no slurs and no disrespect. Kudos.
Humility brings great learning and wisdom. Thank you Yeshua for John Lennox.
Amen
Amen brother Amen. Without humility you can’t see truth/wisdom absolutely beyond yourself, it is because God made everything this way and is the ultimate psychologist and sooo beyond human psychology and he is the ultimate in every other field as well. The holy spirit lives in my heart, thank you Jesus, Jesus lives
Amen

Wow. Prof. John Lennox is one of the greatest minds today, great interview!
Please tell me how his mind is great? 🤔
@nathanngumi8467. Surely you are being ironic. This guy is a buffoon.
You must question your own mind for that answer.@@mattikaronen7728
He is great bcs he confirms yr presuppositions?
@@awoj51 how soo? Please elaborate..
Truth is a Person. Profound revelation. I love it. ❤
I had never heard that truth is a person❣️
Loved this. Prof Lennox was so relaxed, eloquent and full of wisdom. I could listen to him for hours.
I guess if I am relaxed and eloquent that makes whatever made up stuff I come up with real and the truth
In his nike air max.
How does launching a strawman attack on him advance the conversation?
@@ntsokolomemani3874Nice gotcha.
I feel the same listening to Sam Harris.
When I was 8 in 1963, walking to catch a bus to school, I was hit in the back by an abusive person. I blacked out. When I awoke, the bus driver was standing over me. He had seen the attack and parked the bus. He said to my abuser, "It's a good thing for you she woke up!" I could hardly breathe. All the breathing sacks in my lungs felt shattered. He helped me onto the bus and when we got to school, he took me to the school nurse, who made me lie down. The doctor and the police were called. Since it was a Catholic school, the priest was called, too. He was out visiting other sick and dying people. The doctor came first. He said there was nothing he could do for me. He said my lungs were filling with blood and I was only breathing with the very top of my lungs. It had felt like my lungs were ripped inside with shards of cut glass, but as the blood filled them, they felt hot and heavy, and the pain went away where no air could get through the cuts the blow had shattered through my alveoli. Two nuns stayed with me, comforting me. Two policemen came and said they would arrest the person who did this to me as soon as I would go to Heaven. Finally, the priest came and gave me Jesus in Holy Communion. Then he anointed me with the Sacrament of Extreme Unction. I felt the Holy Spirit in the blessed oil like a golden, glowing warmth that flowed from my forehead down into my lungs. As the warmth flowed from the top of my lungs to the bottom, I felt them instantly heal. Then I fell immediately asleep. When I awoke, it was almost time to go home. The nuns had a hot lunch for me to eat. The police and the doctor had left, since I had been miraculously healed. Praise God! This happened in Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania. Jesus, God the Son, is really Who He said He is, and He still lives and works today
Thank you for sharing this amazing testimony 🙌🩵
Oh my God. I cried from the joy of your biggest miracle that God made for you. It's such an amazing story you have to share it everywhere and we are lucky to have read it. Thank you for your message given to humanity. We are blessed by God. Thanks God for the internet so we can share our faith and testimony to everyone. Thanks to this channel also that invites Dr Lennox my favourite scientist of God. What we have to do is use the internet for promotion of the Living God because there are many four billion people in the world who don't know anything about our Living God, Jesus Christ. God bless you.
Praise God!
I could cry at how wonderful this made me feel. I’m a bit of a ditz but I still I understood the concepts and complex words in their contexts! Hooray for teachers that actually teach 🙏🏾😭
Very articulate. God is using you to speak to millions and billions of us.
God bless you sir.
People Who have been given the gift of a brilliant intellect such as John Lennox and follow Truth acknowledging Jesus Christ as The Ultimate Truth encourage others to go on that journey to set themselves Free. Thank you Samuel and John for sharing the Wisdom and pointing The Way which leads to TRUTH Freedom and Life. Praise The Lord and God Bless His Holy City JERUSALEM
Practical wisdom thank you for having Dr. Lennox as your guest.
Dr. John Lennox is fearlessly real and bold.
Thank God.
Aww, what a nice way for Mr. John Lennox to end his time with Samual, saying that it was one of his best interviews. He’s done a ton of interviews so that’s a very kind compliment❤❤
Thanks for watching until the end!
John, I love your wisdom and your soul. The problem with so many doubters is the question of suffering. This is the unanswerable question…I’m glad you brought this up at the end of your talk. I’d like to hear much much more about this because I think it holds so many people back.
To answer the doubters on suffering is an easy one ,
I believe suffering is a consquence of sin, as the Catholic church teaches.
This very important interview really opened my mind and further strengthened my faith in GOD. Also arouse my interests to read Prof. Lennox's books after C.S. Lewis.
I love John Lennox. He is very intelligent and I have learnt a lot from him
Thank you for your interest.
I love this man. He truly uses his intellect to glorify God who bestowed it to him. His humility is astonishing. God bless him.
Glad you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for my next episode with John on AI.
Me too...how soft wisdom for our ears.
John lennox is one of the greatest gift for this generation, remain bless
I love listening and learning from John Lennox!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️
Thank you for your interest! Stay tuned for my upcoming Practical Wisdom Conference with John scheduled to be published here in December.
John Lennox God bless you Sir ,explanation without boundaries
Sir John lennox thank you for speaking the truth because so many people are afraid of speaking the truth, sir John lennox GOD will continue to bless you in everything
John Lennox: One of my favorite men of God on UA-cam. His intellect, wisdom, and humility is commendable!
Would love to meet Profesor Lennox and have a conversation with him. Great Interview! God bless you both.
Amen! I would never want to Curse him for having a conversation with me. It would be like me having a conversation with a rock😅😂
Agreed.
Thank you Lord at the age of 68 I came across this great witness of God. I can listen to you everyday prof. You truly a man of the living God. You are already a blessing
It was wonderful to hear Mr Lennox say " this is the best interview I have ever done " . I have watched countless interviews/debates involving John Lennox , and I have never seen his demeanor so relaxed . One can see that he is truly enjoying himself in this interview .. Your smile after hearing him say this shows that his comment was not scripted . It must of felt fantastic .. I have liked & subscribed Sir ...
Same here :-)
You can tell he's brilliant, and he loves God the Creator and His Word, such a great man, God bless this treasure of a man.
That was my favourite part! (Among many)
@@asha6822 - Amen asha6822 !
What a great blessing is John Lennox. Gid has given him great gifts of wisdom, discernment & winsomness.
There has never been a time when listening to Dr. Lennox that I've walked away ignorant.
John,your wisdom comes from above!
If wisdom comes from above. Why are there stupid people
Like all true scientists, the wisdom of the Bible permeates his thought processes, and the pursuit of the truth in our life is blessed by God, and Dr Lennox is an excellent example.
That's so true.
Lennox is not a scientist. He poses a such from the state of his brainwashedness. He cannot look at his babble from a distance!
What a great man full of wisdom grace and humility. Thank you dear Prof Lennox. Watching from Birmingham, Brian
I agree with Mr. Lennox. This is one of the best interviews I have seen him do. John Lennox "A True Christian".
OMG, it is very refreshing analysis about Truth and Christianity. Thanks for sharing it!
John Lennox has a wonderful mind. His logic and science says it all.
I thoroughly enjoyed this so much. I love Dr Lenox, and the interviewer was very respectful.
Thank you so very much for this interview.
Professor John is indeed a gift from God.
The definition of truth is priceless🙏🏼
Mr. Lennox heard the gospel and accepted it and it grew and we hear it today. The parable of the sower is true, he against all the science dogma continues to bear the fruits of the Spirit. Blessed be the Lord and King Jesus.
God bless and keep you and yours in good health and safety to teach us these wonderful truths. We live in the Uk and hope to visit NI for the first time this weekend. Our son who is training to be a Minister of God’s Word is engaged to a girl from there. Thank you for teaching us the Truth of God’s Word !🙏👍🏽
Thank you sir... for helping me to understand God's wonderful creation...
Perhaps the most alluring and fascinating explanations to reality after two millenia, comes forth from the symbolism inherent to Ascencion and Pentecost: the role of the Holy Spirit . Whenever possible I would love to hear what Professor Lennox may have to say around this particular point. I couldn't stop privately and enthusiastically clap after the interview finished.
Prof John Lennox is a genius who synthesis facts, reality, existence, Faith, Reason and science in an incredible detail and comprehensive mannerisms
Thank you for your interest!
What a wonderful man bringing so much truth to this incredibly confused world.
Absolutely wonderful interview with the always amazing John Lennox...Samuel well done 👏 ✔️ 👍
Thanks for the kind words! Stay tuned for my upcoming interview with John on artificial intelligence scheduled for release in October.
My 43 years mother of five children, gave birth to me in a very precarious situation being at home. At last in maternity, I was delivered by c-section after a failed forceps procedure in 1953. I thank God for being alive because my parents, if they weren't Christians, probably would have decided on an abortion. The moral Christian view is why I live today with faith in Jesus Christ, Who first suffered for me before my own individual suffering, with a meaning for eternal life. I love God and I believe He loves me as mankind he died for. I have decided to accept Jesus, repudiate sin but love the sinner.
Managerial Truth (joke) - A man flying in a hot air balloon realizes he’s lost. He spots a man below and shouts, “Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I’d meet him half an hour ago, but I don’t know where I am.” The man below replies, “Yes. You’re in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above the ground. You’re at 40 degrees latitude and 58 degrees longitude.” The balloonist says, “You must be a manager.” The man replies, “I am! How did you know?” The balloonist says, “Everything you told me is technically correct, but it’s of no use to anyone.” The manager retorts, “You must be an engineer.” The balloonist says, “I am! How did you know?” The manager replies, “Well, you don’t know where you are or where you’re going, but you expect me to solve your problem. You’re in the same position you were before we met, but now it’s my fault!”
The difference between truth and knowledge is wisdom.
One of the most extraordinary interviews ever!
How blessed are we to have the wonderful, brilliant, charming John Lennox - he is, as a recent commenter said, the C.S. Lewis of our time. And many thanks to Samuel who did such a good job as interviewer (it was lovely seeing Prof Lennox compliment him there at the end).
The truth is this man is simply amazing. GREAT ìnterview
Amazing 3 of my favorite topic: truth, science & Religion ☯️❤
Always love hearing John Lennox. Thank you.
Man I just have to get Jhon Lennox’s books.

Wow! This is an incredible discussion of some of the most important questions mankind has been asking for thousands of years.
I thank the Lord for John Lennox for representing Him in a brilliant manner. Challenging intellectuals and arrogant thinkers! Truth is a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ! Profound.. I love it!
Amen!! In the beginning was the WORD. The Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him And without Him, nothing was made that was made.
John Lennox , keep up the good work . Your book on Daniel “ against the flow “ is fantastic and so relevant.
I know I say this on every video I watch with John Lennox, but he really is my favorite apologist! 😂
Thank God for these people who lead through their refined minds the hard conversations of faith
While I am always amazed at professor Lennox’s great insight and wisdom I want to say
Congratulations to Samuel. All through the interview I was impressed with your deep knowledge of the subject and relevant bibliography.
Thank you for your interest and kind words. The interview was split in two (I published the other, shorter, video separately). Stay tuned for my upcoming interview with John on AI, scheduled to be published next week.
Prof...you are awesome. I call this realm, the Kingdom of God. Amen. Thank you professor.
The best Teacher and Gods best friend Professor John Lennox
God has given something to draw us into conversation with HIM.
been years listening to John and seeing him advance in age makes me cry, I wish we could listen to his wisdom forever. But we are grateful for all he that he is and what he shares in this world.
Great interview. Smart questions being put to a very smart man. My head is about to explode - in a good way - so thanks for this.
As a Northern Irish catholic of 50yrs old from Fermanagh, near the Monaghan border, it would probably be a little surprising to hear me declare that Professor John Lennox is an absolute hero of mine. He answers some of the biggest Christian questions in simple and truly acceptable ways that bring comfort and strength to all christians who struggle with the bigger questions. This man has made my faith so much stronger and easier. I will be eternally grateful to, and for, him. He's a blessing from God and he will eternally have a place in my heart and in my prayers 🙏
Thank you for this amazing interview!!
Amazing man full of God's knowledge! Blessings from Brazil!
Thank you for your comment! John is a very humble man as well. Stay tuned for the upcoming interview with John on AI. Blessings from London.
Thanks a lot Samuel for this extraordinary interview. Amazing questions! And also, thanks Prof. Lenox for sharing with us your wisdom! I am writing from Peru, in South America, so that it is an explicit manifestation of the broad influence you, both, have been getting.
Thanks a lot Alejandro. This is really encouraging! It is for people like you that I started this little podcast. I hope you'll also enjoy my upcoming interview with John Lennox on Artificial Intelligence (to be published in October).
@@Practical.Wisdom I, too, agree and congratulate you on this interview. If I could make an Eulerian diagram in which to place the disciplines and their contemporary coryphaei, I would place John Lennox in the innermost circle, that of empirical science, Peter Kreeft in the philosophical one, Pope Benedict in the theological one, and an Italian mystic, Luisa Piccarreta, in the outermost one, and more intimate with God, hallelujah!
~Simply enjoy Dr. Lennox & cannote get enough of his video
Absolutely beautiful conversation
Im so privilege to have met John a number of times. A lovely humble man
Well that’s more than enough reason to subscribe! That was a fascinating interview! It must’ve been gratifying to get such high praise from John Lennox!
Well done! 👍
John Lennox speaks in a language that everyone can understand - that makes it all the more excellent 😊
Yes, I love that about him - it just means people can relate to him from all walks of life. He is really accessible and engaging.
No. He speaks in a language that massages peoples' assumptions and biases.
John Lennox no doubt is the C.S. Lewis of our time.
Another bourgeois Christian windbag.
was lewis also a mason who flashes the signs non stop? wont shock me ...they all are , Gods actual servants , were in the streets doing all the work he commanded and not even 1 soul knows about it , these guys are the wolves in wool Jesus warned about , even though i admit they are good at making atheism look weak , its apart of their deception , they are most interested in winning your heart so you follow their doctrine which leads to hell .... take your tips from them to fight atheism , go for it , stay away from their christian doctrine ....its always a lukewarm gospel of some truths and many lies.
He is a C S Lewis's student, after all
Yes indeed. But he also brings certain skills to the table that Lewis couldn't. He has helped me enormously with my thinking and faith..
@@mcmanustony no I don't brother
I just love John so much! He's so adorable. I wish I could hug him.
Thank you for this talk! I believe that faith is to believe in what you can't see, also everything belongs to God including our breath 🙏

3:11: 📚 John Lennox discusses the concept of truth, challenging the idea that science is the only way to truth and emphasizing that truth is ultimately a person, Jesus Christ.
8:40: 🤔 Reason and revelation are not in opposition, but rather work together to understand the truth about God.
13:58: 📚 John Lennox discusses the importance of defending the faith and the different categories of evidence.
20:53: 🤔 Faith is not blind and requires evidence; moral and truth relativism are not practical; Big Bang theory confirms the idea of a beginning.
27:56: 🌍 The speaker suggests that science is influenced by Aristotle's ideas of the eternity of the universe hindering the consideration of the biblical worldview of the beginning of the universe.
35:48: 📚 The speaker discusses the relationship between biology, evolution, and atheism, highlighting that atheism cannot be logically deduced from biology and that the neo-Darwinian synthesis is now being challenged within the scientific community.
42:10: 🌌 The speaker discusses the Aristotelian view of the universe and the concept of multiple dimensions, suggesting that there may be another dimension beyond death.
53:07: 📚 There are clues in nature and the human genome that suggest the existence of an intelligent mind behind them.
56:27: 🤔 The debate between science and God is still relevant, but there is a shift towards focusing on meaning and identity; Christians should engage with other worldviews and religions.
1:04:02: 💡 The importance of defending and bringing meaning into people's lives through intellectual credibility and moral effects is crucial for universities and Christians.
Recap by Tammy AI
Thanks for the recap!
Nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital.
What is moral or ethical about suggesting people believing they hear the voice of god, or understand the mind of a deity by the bible?
Has anyone, ever, seen a deity do anything outside of fiction? Don't you think if a deity exits & everyone is not aware of it, then the deity title is being fudged a tad bit? The Christians slapped their books on the OT, & the Mormons glued theirs on to them both.
Professor John Lennox is a showman, of the lord Monkton, God of the gaps, sophistry kind.
Any deity outside of fiction which is unknown to everyone is bearing witness to fudging the deity scam, producing theater in an immoral or unethical space.
It was secular law & order ending the witch-burning & inquisitions of those with special relationships with fiction.
Christians don't have any quality-control, so we vote to govern away from those proposing we travel best with one foot in fantasyland. He preaches to the choir & all he has to do is be cheerful, name drop, & sell books. Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy. Gods, outside of fiction, have a perfect record of doing nothing, so we have a saying: God helps those helping themselves. Even Jesus, The Nailed, knows faith is worthless if you can't move mountains by voice-command.
a
1:05:55 🙊The end of religious blabbering.
You must be joking with us, god is a given when you give ultimate questions a pass.
Give us a break, please.
Those with one foot in fantasyland authorize themselves to weigh-in on whatnot as if Earth had gravity-free zones & magic.
The religious don't have ears to hear, the books of God are filled with faith & prayers:
Nothing fails like prayers in a children's hospital, the religious are only into convincing themselves.
Rabbi Podium Jockey should not take himself so seriously, nobody should.
The religious have no quality-controls.
God knows, god helps those helping themselves is a saying because gods have a perfect record of nothing doing outside of fiction. One might expect a deity to make itself known to everyone without work performed in interpretations of old literature by guys like our verbose podium jockey. Who in their right mind promotes travel as if best done with one foot in fantasyland vocabulary. Freud wrote the antidote to Christianity is literacy. Nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital, and these wolves in sheep's clothing advocate prayer & faith verbiage. Even Jesus Christ said faith was worthless if you can't move mountains by issuing voice commands.
What is moral or ethical about suggestions of travel with one foot in some religious fantasyland?
A house divided cannot stand.
We vote because Christians have no quality-controls, & we desire those governing not making suggestions travel is best done with one foot in someone's fantasyland.
'Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.''
Come, let us worship Jesus.
Let us all forget it was secular law & order ending the inquisitions & witch-killings.
Let us forget we have a saying: God helps those helping themselves, because gods have a perfect record of doing nothing.
Let us ignore nothing fails like prayer in a children's hospital.
Let us ignore a wicked generation seeks signs.

THANK YOU... SIRS...!!!
I am just an ordinary person retired from the health care profession... and a student of continuous learning about everything related to THE PRAPANCHAM( the Natures and Universes, also about HUMAN LIFE & LIVING...!!!
I am so grateful and privileged to hear from you both...!!!
As a student my understanding is the following about the topics you have talked about...here...!!!
1) GOD is WISDOM... Means God either gives us or created wisdom within us...!!!
2 ) WISDOM comes from CARING...!!! ( GOD CARES )...!!!
3) SCIENCE is the SECRET, HE hides within us and in the PRAPANCHAM...and with wisdom ( God) we coud unravel it...!!!
Science contains ART, MATH and LOGIC & PHILOSOPHY...!!!
4) Our problems are due to LACK OF CARING FOR ANYTHING... Means we do not care to understand ourselves and God..ike who we are and how we connected to GOD infinitely and the importance of GOD'S PRESENCE in each ones life... that is inevitably required...!!!
5 ) WE HAVE NOT LEARNED YET TO :
Distinguish between TRUE FAITH and RELIGION...!!!
6 ) WE GIVE IMPORTANCE TO RITUALS... NOT THE REAL & TRUE SPIRITUALITY...!!!
7) JESUS the GREATEST SCHOLAR OF VEDHIC KNOWLEDGE, AND PHILOSOPHY OF MODERN ERA talmed about it... means TRUE FAITH IS ABOUT CARING... NOT RITUALS...!!!
( CARING not about its literal meaning... but it is vast beyond time and space... Remember JESUS wanted to UNITE HUMANITY in PEACE & HAPPINESS )...!!!
GOD... THE WISDOM... THE GOODNESS within us... THE DIVINE POWER... teach us that we are NOT GOD...We are SON OF MAN... man/ human is HIS creation... in his image...!!!
GOD is INFINITE & ETERNAL...!!!
Humans are FINITE & MORTAL...!!!
GOD is the only one who is PERFECT, HOLY and contain TBE INFINITE WISDOM...!!!
Err is human... That is why GOD holds the strings and beads of BEAUTY, BALANCE AND PURITY to have EVERYTHING & EVERYONE IN ORDER... IN EQUILIBRIUM...!!!
GOD Correct, Repair Rebuild and RENEW ( Make everything pure, beautiful and balanced... AGAIN AND AGAIN... IN HIS TIME & SPACE...!!!
THANK YOU...FOR considering my understanding...!!!
Amen. Truth is a person. John 14:6
We believers suffer so the world can witness their own struggle, but with Hope. Thanks from this red head & my fat thumb up.
Dr Lennox is amazing and I admire him greatly. Having said that first, I now am compelled to tell you how a country boy, hillbilly, like me would answer the question, "what is truth ?". Truth is what is. Said another way, truth is what exists, historically, presently, and what will exist. The primary truth is God. He desires us to know that, thus, His very name. God, being omniscient knows that if we don't grasp the primary, the fundamental, foundational, then giving us further truth is irrelevant. We are not in the year 2023 supposed to be discovering what truth means, We should be a sevaral thousand years smarter than that. My two cents, but free today.
Truth is reality.
I love how Dr. Lennox won people to Christ with his winsome personality. "The greatest of these is love!" We can't always debate people into the kingdom.
😊 I've never heard professor John Lennox ever say that before, "that's the best interview I've ever done and I'd love to do more just like it!"🎉
If john gets any bigger, he will burst out of his suit..amen
Incredible interview! JL is truly a gift to this world. God bless him. What an incredible soul! I like his point about intelligent atheists coming up with theories as a sort of smokescreen to avoid the deeper question that a belief in God would lead to... that we ARE accountable for our wrongdoings. Also, I love the questions of asking an ordinary Christian to explain these things, because many people may not have the appropriate level of knowledge or reasoning to argue these points in a more detailed and comprehensive manner. Science is one measure used to explain the world, but certainly not the only one. Also science has been proven wrong numerous times, but the Bible has not. I see science as an observation more than an explanation due to its inherent fallacies, not mutually exclusive from religion.
What a great argument!👍
Every study has shown that atheists, like me, are just as moral as religious believers. And we don't burn people or kill them for their beliefs. (I am not a communist, by the way, and communists and the Roman Catholic fascists killed people in the name of another ideology, not in the name of atheism)
Science has been proven wrong numerous times : yes, and it will be proven wrong other numerous times.
The Bible has not (been proven wrong): why hem, it is easy to show that the Bible is full of factual and conceptual errors; it is also full of factual historic hints of true events (which is normal as its aim is to relate the history and beliefs of pre roman Jewish people, then with the NT the history of Jesus and first followers) and full of valuable concepts such as importance of charity.
Both science and Bible are imperfect and prone to interpretations. But science can (and is compelled to) find a way to rectify its errors, while Bible cannot be rectified (although it can be subject to a number of interpretations and understandings among Jewish and Christians, who are divided in a number of branches).
All human civilisations think that humans are accountable for their wrongdoings.
