If people believed that there is a God, we shouldn't fight each other about there's no God or there is a God, we should still respect each other's believe, because we're still humans we don't have the same religion or beliefs but the important thing is that we respect each other and to help together, fighting is not the answer.
NothingThat Fancy I am a Christian as well. Why do you hate Bill Nye? Have you read a Bible? Remember what Jesus said? “Do not hate your enemy, love them”.
We also know have no proof that all the matter in the universe came from nothing, and life started from nonliving things, does that mean they didn't happen?
@@chrisconnell8464 Yeah but a T Rex did exist at one point and we know that for certain so you’re just taking something you know existed that doesn’t exist anymore and applying it to that example. We don’t know if God exists.
I'm Christian and I am really glad to see a man of science being respectful to all religions and not taking a side and causing people to think. I am glad to see a man that accepts the thought we can't understand everything out there. Keep up the good work.
I'm sad that you are a christian but you don't realize how in danger the souls of our fellow humans are. God is love, He is unconditional love like Jesus Christ who died for us despite being unworthy so that we may wake up. As Christian, it is our duty to prove God's love to our sleeping brethren, we are God's/Jesus witnesses. He left us with the commandment to "Love as i have loved you". We should be ready to take up our cross, professing that Jesus is our Lord but loving our people so that they too may wake up. The time is coming soon, in the tribulation there would be alot of bloodshed, but we must endured before he returns, have faith.
@El Gato I'm a Christian at birth, i became an atheist for 4 yrs but i returned to Jesus. I realized that unconditional love can never exist without God because he is the source of it. Love coming from our own is selfish and imperfect. Jesus is the only way, He is the only one who demonstrated the unconditional love of God, while we were sinners he died for us. We were unworthy and filthy but still he died for us in hopes that we would wake up. And as a Christian, it is my duty to do the same. Jesus is alive in me, I may be weak but i will endure. Even if i am alone in the world, i will never change. I shall show God's love
As a Christian, I really wish more Atheists were as respectful as Nye. It would sure be alot easier to debate with them if they weren't always arrogant and cocky.

TheJoshsoccer10 You know science believes in other dimensions that supposedly take place in our same universe. They say a dinasour can walk right in front of you and you won’t be able to see it. Atheist scientist will tell you about things you can’t see all day but when u tell them about God they will say it’s a hoax because they can see it lol knock and you should find God says. God talks to us through his word the Bible he tells us why there is evil in this world and it’s called sin people are greedy and corrupt . He also says we should walk by faith not feel or sight. We put a lot of faith on science textbooks and believe them as true but when we read the Bible everything is false. You want to see and feel God?Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, Repent from your sins and you will see GOD when you leave this earth. And why say what if I was born into ISIS? You weren’t born there so let’s be happy about that lol you were born with a chance to hear Gods word and have eternal life.
Geary Kunkel Why? A God would be a being beyong human comprehension, so trying to understand its motivation or needs is pointless. As is worshipping an imaginary being.

@@MVSstudios I have just read the article... those are not the teachings of the New Testament, of Christ who came to testify the truth. all of those chapters, but one (1 Peter 2:18), are from the old testament. the old testament is the Jewish "Torah"... that's why Jesus was killed by the Jews, because He was changing their rules and bringing the truth which was all about love. Also, that article lists verses from scripture out of context, stating things as if it were God Himself stating them when in fact it wasn't. Also being read out of context is verse 1 Peter 2:18. It states "servants" but the writer of the article goes on to state that it says "slaves". Two very different words. Reading the Bible is a tedious thing one cannot just read and simply understand , one must study to understand.
1 Timothy 6:19-21King James Version (KJV) 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen.
@@sanskar8377 cool fact is that nobody can translate, Hebrew (the language the bible was first written in) didn't perfectly translate to English especially thousands of years ago
SANSKAR 1 Timothy entire chapter 6 (CEB) (aka modern English) Those who are under the bondage of slavery should consider their own masters as worthy of full respect so that God’s name and our teaching won’t get a bad reputation. 2 And those who have masters who are believers shouldn’t look down on them because they are brothers. Instead, they should serve them more faithfully, because the people who benefit from your good service are believers who are loved. Teach and encourage these things. 3 If anyone teaches anything different and doesn’t agree with sound teaching about our Lord Jesus Christ and teaching that is consistent with godliness, 4 that person is conceited. They don’t understand anything but have a sick obsession with debates and arguments. This creates jealousy, conflict, verbal abuse, and evil suspicions. 5 There is constant bickering between people whose minds are ruined and who have been robbed of the truth. They think that godliness is a way to make money! 6 Actually, godliness is a great source of profit when it is combined with being happy with what you already have. 7 We didn’t bring anything into the world and so we can’t take anything out of it: 8 we’ll be happy with food and clothing. 9 But people who are trying to get rich fall into temptation. They are trapped by many stupid and harmful passions that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some have wandered away from the faith and have impaled themselves with a lot of pain because they made money their goal. 11 But as for you, man of God, run away from all these things. Instead, pursue righteousness, holy living, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness. 12 Compete in the good fight of faith. Grab hold of eternal life-you were called to it, and you made a good confession of it in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I command you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and Christ Jesus, who made the good confession when testifying before Pontius Pilate. 14 Obey this order without fault or failure until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 The timing of this appearance is revealed by God alone, who is the blessed and only master, the King of kings and Lord of lords. 16 He alone has immortality and lives in light that no one can come near. No human being has ever seen or is able to see him. Honor and eternal power belong to him. Amen. 17 Tell people who are rich at this time not to become egotistical and not to place their hope on their finances, which are uncertain. Instead, they need to hope in God, who richly provides everything for our enjoyment. 18 Tell them to do good, to be rich in the good things they do, to be generous, and to share with others. 19 When they do these things, they will save a treasure for themselves that is a good foundation for the future. That way they can take hold of what is truly life. 20 Timothy, protect what has been given to you in trust. Avoid godless and pointless discussions and the contradictory claims of so-called “knowledge.” 21 When some people adopted this false knowledge, they missed the goal of faith. May grace be with you all.

I assume in this case, especially given the phrasing of the question as "a God", it probably merely denotes a "conscious creator of all physical reality". A "primary mover" as it were.
Definition is definitely a good point to bring up. If someone asks me if I believe in God, I would usually say no, because I assume they're referring to the anthropomorphic god of most major monotheistic religions. I am a pantheist, however, so I define god to be different. I would believe the universe itself is god. Just the natural bits, none of this 'god's will' nor commandments nor speaking to humans nor interfering at all because the universe has no volition. It (pantheism) is more of a handy tool to view the natural universe as something sacred and whole rather than a theological believe.
If you believe in a god or gods, whatever type or characteristics, then you are a theist and DO believe. Don't assume what god people are talking about--ask them. Because to say "no" when you' are a pantheist (still a theist) is to tell a lie and be considered an atheist. You don't want people to think you're a godless atheist, do you? Best wishes from a godless atheist. I like your idea of "gods" better than holy book ones, that's for sure; yours is far better. I'm happy enough to consider the universe itself to be god, but I'll just call it "universe."
As much as I love Bill Nye, he does go off on a tangent sometimes. I took this guy's question to mean that if, hypothetically, there was without a doubt a superior being overlord, should we still obey it? I think it was meant to highlight that even if a god existed, it is perhaps still not worthy of your worship if it is a narcissistic tyrant, as many gods seem to be.
lmfao you just called god narcissistic? I hope you realize the stupidity here, if a hypothetically infinite creature has an inflated sense of their own importance does that mean they view themselves as above infinity? WTF ARE YOU EVEN SAYING?

Bill Nye I grow up watching your show I'm from Washington state and would always look forward to your show coming on Saturday morning on kvos. I'm 33 years old now and still have a great interest in science. thank you for inspiring a generation. :)
Corn is a rather versatile metal, it's actually the 135th element on the periodic table even though it's taught to be the 134th, this is due to the fact that element 134 was highly unstable and was deemed an unreliable element with no practical use. Because of this many professionals, students, and teachers often make this mistake when reading the table. Corn is often used for conducting electricity, though if it is exposed for a prolonged period of time it could enter it's expanded ionic form known as poporn. The avatar never actually mastered it because he could not grasp a firm understanding of it's number of valence electron, to be fair though you often need a particle collider to even create a substantial amount of corn. Because there is so little corn and therefore is rather expensive, it's often used in small electronics like cars, elevators, planes, and bicycles.
That's what I was raised being told, but what happens when religion and science make mutually exclusive claims. (Ie creation account in Genesis doesn't match what we know about reality)
Have that's can you answer this why does your God kill a whole planet of people except moses in and everything in it with the great flood instead of only the evil people I mean he is God every thing is possible was he so angry and out of control that he couldn't help it or is he just that evil
How Would you know that the super entity did have our best interests at heart or that it was all knowing. It could lie and you that it was when it wasn't.
+Chuy Galvez And I disagree with Nye that it was a great question. It's a boring and useless question to me because those attributes could be ascribed to anything. Like, "Bill Nye, if there WAS a squirrel who was right about everything, is it morally wrong to chase it away from my garbage?"
Correct. It could actually be after it's own best interest. An alien race with sufficiently advanced techology could seem as though they are performing feats of magic, when all they are doing is exercising their knowledge and technology. (I.e.: Clarke's third law "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".)
I love this answer because it's not about who or what a single person believes in but for you to fully understand yourself and if you feel this way because no one can truly answer this question as it's beyond all we really have evolved to offer and only a select few who do experience it fully understand.
Its hard to see someone so smart and old that just has not heard the word of God. There are answers to pretty much everything he mentions in this video, he just needs to ask them. I pray for him and people like him to hear the word and accept Jesus Christ into their lives as savior. I use to be a non-believer and now there isn't a sliver of doubt.
A super-entity that needs you to follow them isn't that super, are they? Like imagine the super-entity was mum. Mum can't do everything by herself and requires your help, so she's not super-mom. Now imagine the super-entity was dad. Dad can't do all by himself and requires... hey wait a minute. I think we discovered the motive behind this "obey the super-entity" myth.
+sohayb Megraoui "God doesn't need you or I to follow him. " And we do not need a god to follow. So wouldn't we all be much better off to stop this sillyness of following these various gods that don't need us and whom we don't need and to finally just follow our conscience and what can empirically be shown to be good for humankind? e.g. saving lives (like hospitals or firefighters do) and helping the needy (evil satanic _communist_ "social security") is GOOD for a society and the world around us. Therefore we should continue to do it and look that it gets done right. Treating people like shit for the things they like to do in bed to willing (!) partners (There's a reason why kids must be protected against people abusing their lack of judgment due to their not yet prevalent unferstanding of the subject of biological reproduction and it's hobby variant of "just training"), or even worse for how their skin is tinged or which genitals they posess is NOT good. Therefore we should STOP to do it and not make excuses for people that say they were told to treat these people such and so because of an old book or whatever the local specialist in interpreting things from old books claimed it says... You can clearly see it is WRONG to do that, having somebody giving you pointers why you must is NO excuse. Start thinking for yourself and act like a decent human being, following despite knowing better is WRONG.
This question might become very relevant very soon. Imagine a superinteligent AI, we created it so we're pretty sure its made to have the best intentions for humans. Should you obey it just like that? THAT is the real question here. Gimme opinions people!
Hypotheticals are hard to answer. If we could somehow know that it is both superintelligent and has our best intentions at heart, without fail, then it would be wise to follow its guidance. But that's not an accurate scenario. In reality, we would always be wondering if the AI really has other motives. Humans are actually not that smart, having barely evolved brains to take control of the planet -- still killing each other, destroying things. An AI would know this, and would be unbelievably good at manipulating us, if it wants to. Also, an AI would be much better at creating smarter and smarter AIs than we are, so its intelligence and capacity would become almost infinite in only a few years. We will be like ants on an anthill.
Jason McKenna That's pretty much my position on the matter too. The "should we" is an obvious yes, but the problem shifts to: How can we be sure that we programmed it correctly and it really wants the best for us, how much evidence is enough etc.
We're all pretty much fucked if self aware AI happens. That's why people like Elon Musk are starting non-profits like Open AI to keep a close on eye on companies that have resources to really make a go of it - namely Google. It's a switch that won't be able to be undone, like creating a black hole.
CosmicF I disagree. AI would not be an evolved organism, it would not be selfish. Any motivation it would have, would have to be programmed in. And we would obviously motivate it to help humans, that's what would make it "happy"
If there is a super entity; IF there is one, wouldn't it be better to receive it's council rather then mindlessly submitting to it? Also, if this super entity needs lesser beings as worshipers, then it's not a perfect entity. Therefore we have the potential to become it's equal.
Irving Teran Really makes you think 🤔, I'm a Christian but even I have doubts about god, maybe he's real maybe he isn't, I think what's where religion came in in the first place, because people fear death, so they choose to follow an all knowing being to get away from that fear. We obviously don't know what after death, maybe an afterlife, maybe not. That's what most religious people don't understand, we simply don't know, if there is a god then he isn't so good at showing he's real.
Something to consider about a super entity.... Follow the money... Are you serving a super entity who shouldnt need any money or are you serving a human or a group of humans? They like money and power. They will tell you to give till it hurts. Then tell you they dont have to account for your hard earned money you gave them. Then tell you that you can trust them because they are just following the whims of the supper entity. Does this super entity leader have a house / car that is much nicer then yours? Ask yourself where is the accounting for this? Who is that leader really working for? The super entity or himself?
As far as the common and traditional religious communities go, it has never been a requirement to give money (or exchange of any physical manner) in order to be part of that religious community. What you are describing sounds more like a cult (a tangent from a true "religious community" which aims to serve the super entity rather than the leader) PS. I'm agnostic...but I have both subjective and objective knowledge of religion.
I always like the use of the word cult... Everyone makes it sound non western religion. Cult: 1) a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. 2) a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister. 3)a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing. It could be said that every religion has cult like followings. It mostly depends on the persons perspective observing the religious organization. I personally see all religions as cults. Not all totally bad but they do fall under the definition. No it is never a "requirement" to give money. However they sure do guilt you into giving money. Even the person sitting next you will indirectly guilt you into giving. The Christian bible says you should tithe 10% of your gross earnings. So it could be said yes there is a requirement. Just as a thought experiment lets say everyone that goes to a christian church were to give 10% of their gross earnings. Do you really think many religious leaders who have no oversight are truly honest enough not to pocket that money if possible? Humans will be humans power and money tends to corrupt many. They will lie and cheat the system to keep that power. I have seen this even in the smallest of churches. Those who arent power hungry often die out because they cant pay the rent. I have also seen this. So yes christianity is a popularly accepted cult. That because of the money and power tends to attract vultures just like the non christian cults... The sad part is that the sheeple will continue to flock to these vultures. Always in search of something better but only getting lip service to be fleeced yet once again. Never getting what they really need.
If the super entity would be working for someone else we would worship them as the super entity but if they worked for themselves it would give them immense satisfaction knowing what they created followed its laws. It's like being a dad he loves you forever but if you do something bad you can never go home to him unless you find a way to show him your sorry(faith,prayers,exc)

Atheist base their beliefs on the Logos. Logos meaning logic and reason and the idea of an ordered universe. Without order you cannot observe something in one part of the universe and have it be true over many observations in another part of the universe. Without the Logos there is no science. Bible said God is the Logos. So those who don’t believe in science are sacrilegious. And those who call themselves atheists actually believe in the New Testament God by definition. That isn’t “absolute proof” as that is just a clickbait headline, but most people who call themselves atheists believe strongly in science, and therefore aren’t really atheists. They’ve just determined that they can know what everyone else means by God and disbelieve in their interpretation of God and substitute that for disbelieving God in all forms that could ever be using the mental substitution heuristic. You can’t disbelieve in all forms of God, you don’t know them all and there could always be another, to disbelieve in that would be to believe in the infinite omnipotent and omnipresent and then you’re back believing in something compatible with someone’s definition God yet again.

Specifically, the seven deadly sins. I see merit in this list , despite being an atheist. People have always been immoral, shiftless, and self-gratifying. For ages, humankind struggled to find a conceptual system to operationalize their spiritual shortcomings. Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity. Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation. Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires. Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body. Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath. Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness. Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.

"why is everything so screwed up" well it says in the bible, book of mormon, quran, and nearly every religious scripture with a higher being that we were put here to face challenges
"For He caused the world to lose its youth, and the times have approached [for them] to grow old." (Apoc. of Ezra/2 Ezra 14:10 Aram. Text). - Maybe it's because of sin that the world is screwed up [Video 1:00+] & disordered. That would be a Biblical response.
If that is true then the question becomes, if god is omnipotent all knowing, see's the future, but still makes/designs everything as he did, and punished people for doing the things he knew they would do in the scenario he made. You must admit tat is a bizarre way of doing things if god does have these attributes. This is in no way a challenge or attack on you, in case you felt that this is what it was. Just some of my thoughts on this.

You cannot blame God who is just and righteous for the sins of man. Who are you to say that God who created us then out love died for us is unjust? The bible that was written by men under the control of the holy spirit that God has chosen to use just as someone uses a pencil to write and not the pencils words but the words of the one who writes with it, says "In the beginning God created the heavens and earth." This tells us that God exists outside of time and does not need anyone or anything to exist, he is self reliant and self sufficient. God is holy and has created nothing into a world of beauty and life. While God created it did not come from no were, it came from him as he spoke things into being by the power of his word! According to evolution where does matter come from if it cannot be created or destroyed? All this being said I have said not to condemn you but to keep you from being condemned because Gods plans for humanity is to live in Gods presence but we as humans keep sinning when we all need to ask Gods forgiveness and repent of our sins and seek him. God offers us a way to salvation but he also does not turn a blind eye to our sin, he must punish sin but he does forgive if we repent. 1Timothy 2:5 "For there is only one God and only one mediator between God and man the man Christ Jesus."

Christian Michael he’s not speaking of God. He’s speaking vaguely of if there was a god. “It” is simply referring to a god. That’s also why he is saying “he or she” because he himself does not know if there is a god or what it/him/she would be

Cuz People Are So Into Life Of World That They Forgot That There Is Always End Of Every Beginning Death Is Real Your Being Judge Hereafter Is Real This Life is For Temporary For Short Term But After This There Is Life Of Forever Based Upon Your deeds In This life Whether they were good or bad Simple as That,
+Selfie Masters - "Your Being Judge Hereafter Is Real." Quick question: How did you determine this? What method did you use to learn this? I'd genuinely like to know, so that we may all learn the "truth" to this extraordinary claim. "But After This There Is Life Of Forever Based Upon Your deeds In This life"... Same questions above apply here. How did you determine this? "Whether they were good or bad" Are you proposing, that Santa will either reward you with gifts, or he will punish you with [burning hot] coals? "Simple as That" Really? Is this how it works? We just make claims to one another, and Voila! It becomes reality? Let me try that! Before you were born, the molecules that built your body and mind hadn't yet constructed your brain, with it's trillions of synapses firing to give you memories, and ultimately, consciousness. Therefore it's safe to say, "You didn't exist". Which is precisely where we will one day return. To a state of non-existence, no thoughts, no memories, no pain, no joy, no light or darkness. But my goodness, what an extraordinary experience it is to have ever felt any of this! Simple right?
I don't believe in God. If there is a God, I think we shouldn't "obey." If God gave us choices, like Eve taking the forbidden fruit, then we should be able to live our lives without external involvement.
Human nature has absolutely changed. The average lifespan in ancient Rome was about 25 yrs old. Now it's about triple that. Are you saying that we have the same exact feelings and behaviors as we did then? 😂
Complete dodge of the question. The question was if such a being exists should we be subservient to it, not if one does exist. People give theists a hard time when they dodge questions in the same way. It is also possible to prove a negative, one of those really dumb things that people say all the time. Anything which has ontological contradictions for example can't exist as just one example. There are atheological arguments against God on this basis (incompatible properties). There are reams of literature/papers on why God can't exist. Ironically, for someone so science-promotional, he certainly is at ease violating its central tenant readily.
Idk about y’all but when I started going to church and praying to God even when I was in doubt I was honest and spoke to him like a friend and my life was different and he was working it’s unexplainable all I have to say is if u don’t believe pray and literally say God I have my doubts but if ur real show me and u can go from there if u want to but start with that. At least try
The believers imagine they talk to god; they are too weak in their character to face life without magical solutions. And each culture, group; each civilization create their own deity. That's why there are so many (about 2000 gods as of today).

I'm sad that you are a christian but you don't realize how in danger the souls of our fellow humans are.
God is love, He is unconditional love like Jesus Christ who died for us despite being unworthy so that we may wake up. As Christian, it is our duty to prove God's love to our sleeping brethren, we are God's/Jesus witnesses. He left us with the commandment to "Love as i have loved you". We should be ready to take up our cross, professing that Jesus is our Lord but loving our people so that they too may wake up. The time is coming soon, in the tribulation there would be alot of bloodshed, but we must endured before he returns, have faith.
@Historical Perspective the truth shall never be concealed, God is love. 1 john 4:7-21.
@El Gato I'm a Christian at birth, i became an atheist for 4 yrs but i returned to Jesus. I realized that unconditional love can never exist without God because he is the source of it. Love coming from our own is selfish and imperfect. Jesus is the only way, He is the only one who demonstrated the unconditional love of God, while we were sinners he died for us. We were unworthy and filthy but still he died for us in hopes that we would wake up.
And as a Christian, it is my duty to do the same. Jesus is alive in me, I may be weak but i will endure. Even if i am alone in the world, i will never change. I shall show God's love

A God would be a being beyong human comprehension, so trying to understand its motivation or needs is pointless.
As is worshipping an imaginary being.
***** This is pointless, I'm not going to argue with religious people.
There is a belief circulated among many polytheists that gods are "recharged" by the act of worship.
because of roles. worship isn't merely falling on one's knees but seeking God's purpose and living it. it is about contributing to His design.
I always find is amazing just how respectful and sincere Bill Nye is when it comes to topics that pertain faith.
This question was already addressed by Captain Kirk. When confronted with an all powerful being, his question was; "Why does God need a starship?", which immediately begs the question, "Why does God need anything from us?".

@@MVSstudios I have just read the article... those are not the teachings of the New Testament, of Christ who came to testify the truth. all of those chapters, but one (1 Peter 2:18), are from the old testament. the old testament is the Jewish "Torah"... that's why Jesus was killed by the Jews, because He was changing their rules and bringing the truth which was all about love. Also, that article lists verses from scripture out of context, stating things as if it were God Himself stating them when in fact it wasn't. Also being read out of context is verse 1 Peter 2:18. It states "servants" but the writer of the article goes on to state that it says "slaves". Two very different words.

Those who are under the bondage of slavery should consider their own masters as worthy of full respect so that God’s name and our teaching won’t get a bad reputation. 2 And those who have masters who are believers shouldn’t look down on them because they are brothers. Instead, they should serve them more faithfully, because the people who benefit from your good service are believers who are loved. Teach and encourage these things. 3 If anyone teaches anything different and doesn’t agree with sound teaching about our Lord Jesus Christ and teaching that is consistent with godliness, 4 that person is conceited. They don’t understand anything but have a sick obsession with debates and arguments. This creates jealousy, conflict, verbal abuse, and evil suspicions. 5 There is constant bickering between people whose minds are ruined and who have been robbed of the truth. They think that godliness is a way to make money! 6 Actually, godliness is a great source of profit when it is combined with being happy with what you already have. 7 We didn’t bring anything into the world and so we can’t take anything out of it: 8 we’ll be happy with food and clothing. 9 But people who are trying to get rich fall into temptation. They are trapped by many stupid and harmful passions that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some have wandered away from the faith and have impaled themselves with a lot of pain because they made money their goal. 11 But as for you, man of God, run away from all these things. Instead, pursue righteousness, holy living, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness. 12 Compete in the good fight of faith. Grab hold of eternal life-you were called to it, and you made a good confession of it in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I command you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and Christ Jesus, who made the good confession when testifying before Pontius Pilate. 14 Obey this order without fault or failure until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 The timing of this appearance is revealed by God alone, who is the blessed and only master, the King of kings and Lord of lords. 16 He alone has immortality and lives in light that no one can come near. No human being has ever seen or is able to see him. Honor and eternal power belong to him. Amen. 17 Tell people who are rich at this time not to become egotistical and not to place their hope on their finances, which are uncertain. Instead, they need to hope in God, who richly provides everything for our enjoyment. 18 Tell them to do good, to be rich in the good things they do, to be generous, and to share with others. 19 When they do these things, they will save a treasure for themselves that is a good foundation for the future. That way they can take hold of what is truly life. 20 Timothy, protect what has been given to you in trust. Avoid godless and pointless discussions and the contradictory claims of so-called “knowledge.” 21 When some people adopted this false knowledge, they missed the goal of faith.
May grace be with you all.
There is only one true God, and he is in the three forms, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

By the way what exactly is each person's definition of God? I bet they aren't the same.
They aren't..that's why there are various religions...
I assume in this case, especially given the phrasing of the question as "a God", it probably merely denotes a "conscious creator of all physical reality". A "primary mover" as it were.
Michael Hartman some believe in many, so that's way different then just God.
Definition is definitely a good point to bring up. If someone asks me if I believe in God, I would usually say no, because I assume they're referring to the anthropomorphic god of most major monotheistic religions. I am a pantheist, however, so I define god to be different. I would believe the universe itself is god. Just the natural bits, none of this 'god's will' nor commandments nor speaking to humans nor interfering at all because the universe has no volition. It (pantheism) is more of a handy tool to view the natural universe as something sacred and whole rather than a theological believe.
If you believe in a god or gods, whatever type or characteristics, then you are a theist and DO believe. Don't assume what god people are talking about--ask them. Because to say "no" when you' are a pantheist (still a theist) is to tell a lie and be considered an atheist. You don't want people to think you're a godless atheist, do you?
Best wishes from a godless atheist. I like your idea of "gods" better than holy book ones, that's for sure; yours is far better. I'm happy enough to consider the universe itself to be god, but I'll just call it "universe."
As much as I love Bill Nye, he does go off on a tangent sometimes. I took this guy's question to mean that if, hypothetically, there was without a doubt a superior being overlord, should we still obey it?

Corn is a rather versatile metal, it's actually the 135th element on the periodic table even though it's taught to be the 134th, this is due to the fact that element 134 was highly unstable and was deemed an unreliable element with no practical use. Because of this many professionals, students, and teachers often make this mistake when reading the table. Corn is often used for conducting electricity, though if it is exposed for a prolonged period of time it could enter it's expanded ionic form known as poporn.
The avatar never actually mastered it because he could not grasp a firm understanding of it's number of valence electron, to be fair though you often need a particle collider to even create a substantial amount of corn. Because there is so little corn and therefore is rather expensive, it's often used in small electronics like cars, elevators, planes, and bicycles.

That *IS* the question....
You couldn't even trust ME with "best interests," and I'm human.
Correct. It could actually be after it's own best interest. An alien race with sufficiently advanced techology could seem as though they are performing feats of magic, when all they are doing is exercising their knowledge and technology. (I.e.: Clarke's third law "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic".)
I love this answer because it's not about who or what a single person believes in but for you to fully understand yourself and if you feel this way because no one can truly answer this question as it's beyond all we really have evolved to offer and only a select few who do experience it fully understand.
Its hard to see someone so smart and old that just has not heard the word of God. There are answers to pretty much everything he mentions in this video, he just needs to ask them.

"God doesn't need you or I to follow him. "
And we do not need a god to follow. So wouldn't we all be much better off to stop this sillyness of following these various gods that don't need us and whom we don't need and to finally just follow our conscience and what can empirically be shown to be good for humankind?
e.g. saving lives (like hospitals or firefighters do) and helping the needy (evil satanic _communist_ "social security") is GOOD for a society and the world around us. Therefore we should continue to do it and look that it gets done right.
Treating people like shit for the things they like to do in bed to willing (!) partners (There's a reason why kids must be protected against people abusing their lack of judgment due to their not yet prevalent unferstanding of the subject of biological reproduction and it's hobby variant of "just training"), or even worse for how their skin is tinged or which genitals they posess is NOT good. Therefore we should STOP to do it and not make excuses for people that say they were told to treat these people such and so because of an old book or whatever the local specialist in interpreting things from old books claimed it says...
You can clearly see it is WRONG to do that, having somebody giving you pointers why you must is NO excuse. Start thinking for yourself and act like a decent human being, following despite knowing better is WRONG.
That is a much more reasoned and impartial and better answer than one usually hears from scientists. Thanks, Bill
This question might become very relevant very soon. Imagine a superinteligent AI, we created it so we're pretty sure its made to have the best intentions for humans. Should you obey it just like that? THAT is the real question here. Gimme opinions people!
cock
Hypotheticals are hard to answer. If we could somehow know that it is both superintelligent and has our best intentions at heart, without fail, then it would be wise to follow its guidance. But that's not an accurate scenario. In reality, we would always be wondering if the AI really has other motives.
Humans are actually not that smart, having barely evolved brains to take control of the planet -- still killing each other, destroying things. An AI would know this, and would be unbelievably good at manipulating us, if it wants to. Also, an AI would be much better at creating smarter and smarter AIs than we are, so its intelligence and capacity would become almost infinite in only a few years. We will be like ants on an anthill.
Jason McKenna That's pretty much my position on the matter too. The "should we" is an obvious yes, but the problem shifts to: How can we be sure that we programmed it correctly and it really wants the best for us, how much evidence is enough etc.
We're all pretty much fucked if self aware AI happens. That's why people like Elon Musk are starting non-profits like Open AI to keep a close on eye on companies that have resources to really make a go of it - namely Google. It's a switch that won't be able to be undone, like creating a black hole.
CosmicF I disagree. AI would not be an evolved organism, it would not be selfish. Any motivation it would have, would have to be programmed in. And we would obviously motivate it to help humans, that's what would make it "happy"
If there is a super entity; IF there is one, wouldn't it be better to receive it's council rather then mindlessly submitting to it?
Also, if this super entity needs lesser beings as worshipers, then it's not a perfect entity. Therefore we have the potential to become it's equal.
Irving Teran Really makes you think 🤔, I'm a Christian but even I have doubts about god, maybe he's real maybe he isn't, I think what's where religion came in in the first place, because people fear death, so they choose to follow an all knowing being to get away from that fear. We obviously don't know what after death, maybe an afterlife, maybe not. That's what most religious people don't understand, we simply don't know, if there is a god then he isn't so good at showing he's real.
"If there is a god, most reasonable people might agree that he is at least incompetent, and possibly doesn't give a shit"
-George Carlin
That's the best case scenario. The worst case scenario is that God is narcissistic, psychopathic, and sadistic.
Irving Teran theology asks these questions and different branches have different answers.
I imagine it would be how people respond to the government. So it really depends on the way this super entity acts.
Bill. Thank you for NOT being stupid. and thank you for being real and genuine. You are valued dear
Something to consider about a super entity....
Follow the money... Are you serving a super entity who shouldnt need any money or are you serving a human or a group of humans? They like money and power. They will tell you to give till it hurts. Then tell you they dont have to account for your hard earned money you gave them. Then tell you that you can trust them because they are just following the whims of the supper entity. Does this super entity leader have a house / car that is much nicer then yours? Ask yourself where is the accounting for this? Who is that leader really working for? The super entity or himself?
As far as the common and traditional religious communities go, it has never been a requirement to give money (or exchange of any physical manner) in order to be part of that religious community. What you are describing sounds more like a cult (a tangent from a true "religious community" which aims to serve the super entity rather than the leader)
PS. I'm agnostic...but I have both subjective and objective knowledge of religion.
I always like the use of the word cult... Everyone makes it sound non western religion.
Cult: 1) a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object. 2) a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister. 3)a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.
It could be said that every religion has cult like followings. It mostly depends on the persons perspective observing the religious organization. I personally see all religions as cults. Not all totally bad but they do fall under the definition.
No it is never a "requirement" to give money. However they sure do guilt you into giving money. Even the person sitting next you will indirectly guilt you into giving. The Christian bible says you should tithe 10% of your gross earnings. So it could be said yes there is a requirement.
Just as a thought experiment lets say everyone that goes to a christian church were to give 10% of their gross earnings. Do you really think many religious leaders who have no oversight are truly honest enough not to pocket that money if possible? Humans will be humans power and money tends to corrupt many. They will lie and cheat the system to keep that power. I have seen this even in the smallest of churches. Those who arent power hungry often die out because they cant pay the rent. I have also seen this.
So yes christianity is a popularly accepted cult. That because of the money and power tends to attract vultures just like the non christian cults... The sad part is that the sheeple will continue to flock to these vultures. Always in search of something better but only getting lip service to be fleeced yet once again. Never getting what they really need.
If the super entity would be working for someone else we would worship them as the super entity but if they worked for themselves it would give them immense satisfaction knowing what they created followed its laws.

Thankyou for your 👍.Pleasing comments always appreciated.
Well I'm glad to hear that he is somewhat open to the idea that God exists
I myself am a Christian, but I respect these kind of Atheists
The ad under this video is "Does God exist? - many *absolute* proofs!".
*facepalm through face
Atheist base their beliefs on the Logos. Logos meaning logic and reason and the idea of an ordered universe. Without order you cannot observe something in one part of the universe and have it be true over many observations in another part of the universe. Without the Logos there is no science.
Bible said God is the Logos.
So those who don’t believe in science are sacrilegious.
And those who call themselves atheists actually believe in the New Testament God by definition.
That isn’t “absolute proof” as that is just a clickbait headline, but most people who call themselves atheists believe strongly in science, and therefore aren’t really atheists. They’ve just determined that they can know what everyone else means by God and disbelieve in their interpretation of God and substitute that for disbelieving God in all forms that could ever be using the mental substitution heuristic. You can’t disbelieve in all forms of God, you don’t know them all and there could always be another, to disbelieve in that would be to believe in the infinite omnipotent and omnipresent and then you’re back believing in something compatible with someone’s definition God yet again.
@@MrMichaelsu because God is the Logos, $science refuses to answer where mathematics and $science come from because this shows God created it, so $science uses selective research to twist the truth to the people.

one thing i know God is real
" If God so precisely and carefully and lovingly and amazingly constructed a mind-boggling habitat for His creatures, then it would be natural for Him to want them to explore it, to measure it, to investigate it, to appreciate it, to be inspired by it--and ultimately, and most importantly, to find Him through it."

"WHY IS EVERYTHING SO SCREWED UP?" - Bill Nye

Is there a way to ask Bill a question without having to do it in video format? I just want to ask him to comment on the "photons experience no time and no space" thing. I ask because so many people argue that we can't say this because light has no rest frame of reference. Could you please clarify this for me Bill?
That's one big IF. And weird that such a powerful being would care anything about our "submission" as we'd really have no way not to.
"[The wicked] spend their days in prosperity, and suddenly they go down to Sheol. Yet they say to God, 'Go away from us! We do not even desire the knowledge of Your ways. Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him, and what would we gain plead with Him?' Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand; the advice of the wicked is far from me."

The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds; there is none who does good. The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God. They have all turned aside; together they have become corrupt; there is none who does good, not even one.

Why are things screwed up, you ask? One word... Sin
PitchBlack EXACTLY
Omg sin... wow a word, wowie
Specifically, the seven deadly sins. I see merit in this list , despite being an atheist.
People have always been immoral, shiftless, and self-gratifying. For ages, humankind struggled to find a conceptual system to operationalize their spiritual shortcomings.
Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.
Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.
Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.
Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.
Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.
Greed is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.
Sloth is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.
I see above a perfect description of Donald Trump.
Giatri B. Mahadeo finally someone says it
And how can sin exist if there is an omnipotent being that could easily stop sins?
I have to say.. I've been binge watching these videos and I find his perspective just fascinating... BUT him and I have very different opinions.... On pretty much every video I've see so far 😁 Obviously Mr Bill Nye is a brilliant genius with much credibility but on topics such as ghosts, aliens, and "hocus pocus" we are polar opposites but I still am so enthralled by his opinion.

I don't necessarily know about that. There are a handful of guys out there that have been orbiting women for many years thinking their friendship will become a relationship.
You can tell a woman that her lying boyfriend that cheated on her over 4 times is not good for her, yet she will still give you the same old, "he changed", and still believe (or have faith) that she can change him.
Alcohol, Weed, and other substances have been proven to be dangerous for health, but I'm pretty sure you know already know what the moves are on a Friday night for most kids in high school/college.
So yeah, in conclusion, evidence is depended on whether it suits the person's feelings, emotions, pleasures, or lifestyle. And a lot of people don't want to believe in God because following God requires you to sacrifice your own lifestyle and live for Jesus. And although it is the right thing to do like I said before, we as people naturally want to live for ourselves, not for others, so usually most of us would just go along with the crowd saying that religion is bullcrap and all of these things.
Interesting, but the question was not "Is there a god?", the question was "If there were a god, should we obey it?. He didn't address that question.
"why is everything so screwed up" well it says in the bible, book of mormon, quran, and nearly every religious scripture with a higher being that we were put here to face challenges
Which book is correct?
@@MichaelAronsonBoth of them are correct with the answers.
@@human1754 An answer is something someone says in response to a question. What was the question and who asked it?
"For He caused the world to lose its youth, and the times have approached [for them] to grow old." (Apoc. of Ezra/2 Ezra 14:10 Aram. Text). - Maybe it's because of sin that the world is screwed up [Video 1:00+] & disordered. That would be a Biblical response.
If that is true then the question becomes, if god is omnipotent all knowing, see's the future, but still makes/designs everything as he did, and punished people for doing the things he knew they would do in the scenario he made. You must admit tat is a bizarre way of doing things if god does have these attributes. This is in no way a challenge or attack on you, in case you felt that this is what it was. Just some of my thoughts on this.
@@joshuabaughman3112 I see it as God is all knowing and powerful but like it’s different because god let’s us do what we want and we have our own power to do what we want to do it’s just people have been so skeptical about God now because of what some preachers and priests reach see I worship Jesus and God because that’s where I find my comfort and all my calm so I see it in my own eyes that There is a God and Jesus came to this world to die for our suns no matter who you are because Jesus hung out with sinners alll his life but never did he sin but he told God the father that he would take up all the suns in life for people who believe in him and are saved in Jesus name will go to heaven So I mean that right there shows some proof that we are In control not God he gave us the option to live how we want just like angels in heaven they have a choice like we do as well I don’t see heaven just bring some place where you worship 24/7 but you know idk because I’m not God so it’s just hard to acknowledge he’s real because there’s no trace of him or anything but you know it’s just all opinion based just like everything else is nowadays
I love when kids question religion. 😄
This is why I fucking love bill nye! Smart guy! And like other scientists, he admits when they don’t know something
You cannot blame God who is just and righteous for the sins of man. Who are you to say that God who created us then out love died for us is unjust? The bible that was written by men under the control of the holy spirit that God has chosen to use just as someone uses a pencil to write and not the pencils words but the words of the one who writes with it, says "In the beginning God created the heavens and earth." This tells us that God exists outside of time and does not need anyone or anything to exist, he is self reliant and self sufficient. God is holy and has created nothing into a world of beauty and life. While God created it did not come from no were, it came from him as he spoke things into being by the power of his word! According to evolution where does matter come from if it cannot be created or destroyed? All this being said I have said not to condemn you but to keep you from being condemned because Gods plans for humanity is to live in Gods presence but we as humans keep sinning when we all need to ask Gods forgiveness and repent of our sins and seek him. God offers us a way to salvation but he also does not turn a blind eye to our sin, he must punish sin but he does forgive if we repent. 1Timothy 2:5 "For there is only one God and only one mediator between God and man the man Christ Jesus."

Before you were born, the molecules that built your body and mind hadn't yet constructed your brain, with it's trillions of synapses firing to give you memories, and ultimately, consciousness. Therefore it's safe to say, "You didn't exist". Which is precisely where we will one day return. To a state of non-existence, no thoughts, no memories, no pain, no joy, no light or darkness. But my goodness, what an extraordinary experience it is to have ever felt any of this! Simple right?

Complete dodge of the question. The question was if such a being exists should we be subservient to it, not if one does exist. People give theists a hard time when they dodge questions in the same way.
It is also possible to prove a negative, one of those really dumb things that people say all the time. Anything which has ontological contradictions for example can't exist as just one example.
There are atheological arguments against God on this basis (incompatible properties). There are reams of literature/papers on why God can't exist. Ironically, for someone so science-promotional, he certainly is at ease violating its central tenant readily.
Idk about y’all but when I started going to church and praying to God even when I was in doubt I was honest and spoke to him like a friend and my life was different and he was working it’s unexplainable all I have to say is if u don’t believe pray and literally say God I have my doubts but if ur real show me and u can go from there if u want to but start with that.

The believers imagine they talk to god; they are too weak in their character to face life without magical solutions. And each culture, group; each civilization create their own deity. That's why there are so many (about 2000 gods as of today).
