Science took aeroplanes to the sky
Religion took aeroplanes into buildings
@debjyotisarkar1429 science didn’t give man the wisdom to make the planes. A mind was behind the science you speak of it didn’t just happen! Crazies flew planes into buildings! SMH
Science also caused Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombings, as well as eugenics in the US and nazi Germany. Religion brought about the end of slavery. Ever heard of Wilberforce and others? My point is that people do bad things and good things too, at bottom. So stop with these simplistic arguments.
Birds flew in the sky long before man figured out how to
dawkins is nothing but a babbling fool
Spouting nonsense about unprovable theories
@@arlandolittle7625 Science does bro. Dont be delusional or deception. Rational and algorithmic mind created science to bring the evidence of happened. If do thing are terrible are horseshit. Just like that. rational things scientific. Irrational things are religious, political and most governmental propaganda. THIS IS IT.
@@DeepKnight-nr6vo Do you say that because you believe in the modern mythology that fish evolve into philosophers, and if you just wait a really long *Time* puddles of chemicals can fizz into people by chance? Science is a methodology - what you're talking about is an Ideology about the unobservable past, not "science."
Let me ask you this... *Have you ever heard of the faint young sun paradox?* Scientists observe that our sun is slowly warming up as hydrogen fuses into helium, and at this observed rate, 3.5B years ago our sun would have been 30% fainter and earth would have been frozen solid as a result (if it was really billions of years old). The problem is that atheistic-evolutionists believe that 3.5B years ago chemicals fizzed by chance in a puddle to form all the necessary proteins required for life - in what would have been a global, dead, frozen environment - hence the "paradox." *How do you handle this observable evidence?*
*"Liquid water is generally considered a key ingredient for life. When the Sun was much fainter, the Earth with its present atmospheric composition would have been frozen solid. If the oceans were frozen, life may not have formed" (Quote: NASA).*
A) Biblical Creation proponents happily accept this measurable scientific evidence - it's not a "paradox" at all because the earth isn't billions of years old, and life didn't create itself by chance from a puddle of chemicals, we were intentionally created. This makes sense because there is zero evidence that our earth was ever frozen solid as it should have been if it was really billions of years old, and also zero evidence of an early greenhouse gas atmosphere or other atheistic miracle warming effect to help sustain the atheistic belief in abiogenesis.
B) Atheistic-Naturalists (evolutionists, etc.) however have a problem, because you need billions of years of deep time to make it seem less implausible that chemicals can fizz into people, and that life atheistically created itself. So you have to invoke some kind of a miracle warming effect with no evidence like an early alleged greenhouse gas atmosphere, or various implausible celestial phenomena. Not only do these excuses have zero evidence, but they are also incredibly implausible - because if you did have an early greenhouse gas atmosphere 3.5B years ago, you have to believe that it countered the faint young sun's temperature just right (not too hot like Venus, yet not cold like Mars) and it had to dissipate in perfect inverse proportion to the gradual warming of the sun over time - *all just to make atheistic abiogenesis and early evolution seem less scientifically problematic.*
Two worldviews, same evidences, two very different interpretations. Which one is being more "scientific," the one that just accepts the evidence, or the one that has to fabricate implausible and evidence-less excuses to *circumvent this problematic scientific evidence and sustain their already scientifically-problematic belief that puddles can fizz into people?*
Any thoughts?
*"The evidence of God... has been clearly seen since the beginning in all that has been created, so they will have no excuse"* (Romans 1:20)
“The human mind is extremely susceptible to hallucinations. “ Dr.Richard Dawkins
This was proven by trying to explain why some people say they see a bright light. None of it's real, it's your brain hallucinating.
If your "thoughts" are just chemicals fizzing in your brain, how can you "trust" them? How do you know that your "reasoning" faculties (if there is such a thing) are actually accurate, valid, "true"? If Atheistic abiogenesis and chemical reaction evolution are true, then you are just Mindlessly "dancing to your DNA."
This isn't a problem if you have some kind of an immaterial self or a "soul," something that isn't limited by mere chemical reactions - like being made in the image and likeness of God with a capacity for free will rational thinking, meaning, purpose, value (Genesis 1:26-27), morality and a sense of justice (Genesis 9:6), a conscience which suspiciously reflects the principles of His law (Romans 2:15), a sense of dignity and respect (James 3:10), among other things...
I deeply appreciate that you don't live in accordance with the Atheistic "we're all just chemicals" worldview, but that you live in accordance with the God of Scripture instead - otherwise things would be total chaos.
*"The long and short of it is that I became convinced that atheism implies amorality; and since I am an atheist, I must therefore embrace amorality... The religious fundamentalists are correct: without God, there is no morality. But they are incorrect, I still believe, about there being a God. Hence, I believe, there is no morality."* (Joel Marks, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of New Haven, "Philosophy Now," Sep 2010).
*"They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them"* (Romans 2:15)
"The human mind is extremely susceptible to hallucinations. “ - Spoken like a true victim\survivor. :(
Well no one is easier to manipulate then a theist
Like believing the Laws of Physics came after the Big Bang (Stephen Hawking). Or that because living organisms have similar traits that they must have evolved from a common ancestor (cars have similar traits and yet they are created).

If humanity used religion instead of science, we will be still living as if it was the 5th century.
And there would be very few cures for disease.
There is a certain body of people in Britain, that want us too!

These religions appeal to the lower classes, the failures
Which is easier? To EARN riches or beg or steal? Clearly the latter
And in an increasingly modern world, Education is necessary
But these religions promise paradise where none of that is necessary - getting the good life is a matter of polishing the right shoes, praying to the "right" God, guess which one?
Things get done like in Corrupt/Communist countries where knowing the right people is how one gets ahead
You can see how this is so appealing to such people
And these are the top 2 religions of the day!
That's how messed up we are
Modern science was quite literally invented by Christians.
BOTH should be used intelligently,then there is no contradiction and no danger !!
Its not an either/ or situation.
Ever heard of the atomic bomb....or chemical warfare ??
How refreshing to hear common sense show just what nonsense is religion.
what's ironic is that the testimony we have from the life and adventures of jezus christ are actually the description of the imaginary friend of the psychotic delusional, guilt ridden apostel Paul who started his carreer by torturing people. The gospels tell the story of this imaginary friend, in any case not of a real living man who walked the earth... for the late Roman empire these gospels were a holy grail, a gift that kept giving, the ultimate brainwashing tool.
Religion is not nonsense if understood intelligently. And what do you include in the word
"religion". Just in case you happen to know the meaning of the word at all.....
@@irenehartlmayr8369 you're funny, the most ridiculous claim I've read here so far, religion is the art of brainwashing, abandon intelligence, replace it with blind stupid faith, slave morality.
@@irenehartlmayr8369 "religion: 1 a belief in the existence of a superhuman controlling power, especially of God or gods, usually expressed in worship. 2. a particular system of faith and worship."

Refreshing to hear someone shamelessly take credit for the achievements of Christ and his dominion? Dawkins has even recently come to admit this himself
Without lies religion dies.
That should be on a T-shirt
'Science dies with Richard Dawkins'--
He has a silver bullet god killer; "infinite regress". "A god requires a creator of its own due
to infinite regress". BUUTTT... In chapters 1 & 2 of The God Delusion he numerous times
qualifies god as "supernatural". NOTHING though about the etiology of infinite regress...
by every indication he literally doesn't know. IT'S THE 1ST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS:
"heat can never derive from cold", i.e. there can be only regresses. Einstein said correctly
as of 100 years later that thermodynamics "is the one law which will NEVER be overthrown".
Thermodynamics is NATURAL LAW...THE MOST natural of all law. "Supernatural"
is not constrained by natural...THAT'S ITS DEFINITION
Dawkins is literally too stupid to recognize so elementary a distinction...OF HIS OWN MAKING!
What do you understand by religion ?
@@irenehartlmayr8369 that all their followers are disingenious when asked if they read their holy books and when you ask them what's in it they either get shocked or make some excuse why they support the verses that allow for slavery and unaliving non-believers.

@@MizzouRah78 depends on whether or not said rational person is open minded
Or the actual truth..
Dawkins nails it. 'One can read one verse that agrees with slavery, and another verse that abolishes slavery.' This is why 40,000+/- Christian sects worldwide. Everyone wants to tell YOU their interpretation of what the bible really means. Then, there's the question of the interpretations of the prophets who created the bible understood what they were dreaming, hallucinating, seeing, and witnessing. Humanity is left with religions that are, at best, dysfunctionaly accurate.
All Christian denominations believe that slavery is wrong. There is no conflict in that regard.
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Paul’s Letter to the Galatians 49 AD
God says, “trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding..." so anyone who tries to explain what the bible means is straying from the text and leaning on their own understanding - something specifically warned against.

I find that a contradiction of ideology. Christians may find slavery of a person wrong, yet they hold themselves and others to the acceptance of sin and repentance or a penalty of Hell is given. Slavery of the mind and spirit is only a coma point away from physical slavery. 'Believe or ELSE!' Fear is the basic and most detrimental form of pain, suffering, bandage, slavery... there is. Just look at religious cults around the world. They ALL use fear as a tool to keep believers, faithful. If Satan did exist, fear would be it's main tool of slavery. Evil in general.

Richard Dawkins is spot on when describing the Bible is full of only stories. The Bible is basically just a Story Book and should be treated as such
If someone was to write it now, it would be turned down by the publisher`s as bad fiction.
Ancient people living under Kings, Dictators used them as a template for God
Hence all the - Get down on our knees, beg, grovel, blindly obey, sing only his praises and be rewarded etc
Those were simpler times, primitive uneducated people - they did the best they could
They envisioned an afterworld similar to the world they inhabited - a King/Dictator like God sitting on his Throne in the Heavens, Heaven is him Kingdom, only those who are loyal and support him blindly are allowed in
It would be like living in Russia or North Korea today!
Amazingly not even the best of minds of today can see this!
Frighteningly I wrote about this to so many newspapers and magazines and NONE will publish the above!
Yet so many uneducated simple minded people today still think its true

@@ramaraksha01 it's all bollocks
Since I started reconstruction I realize I didn’t ask enough questions. As a child I accepted what I heard. Now am astounded at what I didn’t question. It’s a very humbling experience.
What questions do you had that made you deconstruct?
We still don't - that's the sad part
Watch any media interview of religious heads - these "Journalists" sit with these religious people before hand and make sure the questions they ask are approved by them
Softball questions are asked - How happy will we be in Heaven? How wonderful heaven will be?
Will we see all our loved ones again?
Same 2 or 3 questions asked again and again!
They dare not venture into more because religions do not have any answers
.
Questions like - 1 - What does one DO in Heaven? What work would an al-mighty being who is capable of creating this huge universe, would have for us puny humans?
We end up with billions of people sitting idly about, shamelessly sponging off God
Unfortunately I get pushback from even Atheists for the above question - quite a lot of "Atheists" may not believe in God but they want Heaven - so one may not question the idea of heaven
2 - What about our loved ones on Earth? They could be suffering, starving, sick, homeless, caught in a war facing rape, torture
Do we not care anymore?
You can see how this question frightens religious people - we get shameless uncaring people sitting around in Heaven doing nothing! What kind of a Grand Plan is this?
3 - What about unbelievers? Are they to be like Jews in a Nazi Germany afterworld? Set apart based on belief, religion and tobe dumped into gas chambers? We are talking entire families, women, children, even babies!
Frankly, the callousness, the willingness of religious people to embrace nazi ideas is frightening!

@@ramaraksha01 My friend listen it’s not about evidence for me, sure it exists and we could be here for hours talking about history and theology just look at Cliffe Knechtle videos for that type of answer, I believe God because of what He made in my life, I was an atheist too until 23, it’s a question of heart and soul not evidence. Evidence is just there to solidify the faith, once you accept God He will show you the real world we ALL live in, full of lies and deception.
Those 2 last questions I’m sorry but don’t make much sense. God is the creator of this world of course He cares about His creation following His commands to live in a perfect environment He created for us. Atheist often talk about “if God exists why there is evil and so much pain” last time I checked it was us that made those decisions to go against Him, when someone is getting murdered for example God is not there telling the murder to do it, it’s his own free will (maybe some demons too). If there was no evil we wouldn’t even appreciate the goodness there is. Atheists never talk about how God came in human form and SACRIFICIED Himself for us, His creation, humans that have turned against Him, humans with so much flaws, and He still gives us Grace and Mercy. In the Bible the apostle John describes the Kingdom of God like there will be no more pain, suffering etc, I can’t describe what will be like and if you think about it that’s the beauty of it. I’m sure for Christ to sacrifice Himself of that cross for us, it gotta be a place that is worth all the pain and sacrifice we do for Him.
@@ramaraksha01 is hell where the 72 virgins have to remain virgins?
A voice of sanity and reason in this increasingly polarized world.
While I agree that not much of what Mr Dawkins says, is fair comment, I’m not very clear that he does anything to reduce the polarisation.
Surely we should be seeking for common ground and mutual understanding, not ridiculing the opinions of others.
And he works behind the scenes with polarisation, ok?
I've been saying this about religious Zealots. It takes away their ability to question. Religion started when the first Con man met the first Fool.
I’m really sorry about the type of religion that you have experienced. I too would want to escape from it!
I think true religion is about the search for truth and how to live well. Searching for truth, means questioning!
If you have studied religion, you will know about stages of faith and how you begin as a child in the “authority“ stage. Unfortunately, many people do not move beyond this into the second and more interesting “questioning” stage.
In my opinion, much religion deserves to be rejected, but that doesn’t mean the whole project is flawed. Please do not throw out the baby with the bathwater!

Only sober person in party of drunks ❤
Frustrating
So he thinks 😆
Religion is built on anecdotes and personal experience. Science is built on evidence, direct observation, and peer reviewed studies.
Personal experience is the only source of experiential knowledge, which is the highest form of knowledge. Thus, personal experience is of great intellectual importance. To condemn personal experience is like saying marriage is illegitimate as a social institution, for the reason that not every marriage works. Or, that friendship is useless because not every friendship works. And yet we all know how deeply essential to life friendship is. And so when it comes to personal experience, it's best to consider it on a case-by-case basis rather than lumping them all together and throwing them out. Also, if God is a person, instead of just a theory, then we've got to experience him.
Additionally, the scientific method is only suited to the natural world. Religions, broadly speaking, deal with God. And God is a supernatural being who lives in the supernatural world. The supernatural is utterly different from the natural. It's also far superior to it. The supernatural world is well above and beyond the "revered" scientific methods of the natural world with its peer reviews. Think of the fact, for example, that supernatural beings aren't affected by physical quantities such as gravity, time, and space. The supernatural can only be accessed and assessed by supernatural means, which I explain in my proof of God.
@@kofidan9128 It is of course absurd to claim that "Personal experience is the only source of experiential knowledge". This stance gives delusions higher value than measurements. It gives dreams more substance than reality. It positions drug use above studies.
You are strange.
Magic and religion is also baseado in evidence
Christians would have at least one point if the condoning and instructions for slavery were removed from the Bible completely. But, still to this day, these entries are STILL in the Bible. So for this man to suggest that Christianity was behind the ending of slavery is absolutely dishonest and insulting.
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Paul’s Letter to the Galatians 49 AD
“For perhaps he was for this reason separated from you for a while, that you would have him back forever, no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord”
Paul’s Letter to Philemon 60AD
Philemon, under Roman law, could execute his slave for fleeing however, Paul pleas with Philemon to accept his servant. Paul goes one-step further and asks Philemon not only to accept his slave, but also to accept him as a brother in Christ and to overlook his faults and errors.
Christian abolitionism took root in the 17th century. In England, prominent Anglicans joined forces with Quakers, Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, Congregationalists, and other faith groups to form the world's first anti-slavery movement.
In 1741, Pope Benedict XIV condemned slavery generally. In 1815, Pope Pius VII demanded the Congress of Vienna to suppress the slave trade. In the Bull of Canonization of Peter Claver, one of the most illustrious adversaries of slavery, Pope Pius IX branded the "supreme villainy" (summum nefas) of the slave traders;[26]
In 1839 Pope Gregory XVI condemned the slave trade in In supremo apostolatus;[27] and in 1888 Pope Leo XIII condemned slavery in In Plurimis
Prominent among these abolitionists was Parliamentarian William Wilberforce in England, who wrote in his diary when he was 28 that, "God Almighty has set before me two great objects, the suppression of the Slave Trade and Reformation of Morals." With others he labored, despite determined opposition, to finally abolish the British slave trade
What a wonderful time we live in the same time with someone like Richard Dawkins. He and the late Christoper Hitchens, incredible ppl.
Unfortunately, the superficial ones do not think enough to understand *the simple fact that from no intelligence involved, no intelligence comes,* the entire process until nowadays proving the existence of God because *the results of a process prove the intelligence involved into that process* (even schoolchildren can understand that every photon, ... atom, ... cell has intelligence into it, *not to mention their functionality together).*
They ignore the intelligence put from the beginning. For example, the intelligence mentioned includes the exact value of the speed of light matching the manifestation of what we call "gravity", working together since the primordial conditions to form in the end this reality, which hosts intelligent life that is able to feel / understand / admire / enjoy / respect / love the Creator, especially through His human form, Jesus Christ.
Those wise enough understand that *God is not bounded by time (not being bounded by what He has created), respectively He is eternal, always existed, which means that He was not created,* but atheists ignore, also, the other fact about the nature of God that our power of comprehension will always be like how much the cups can think to understand the man who made them (comparison mentioned in the Bible). Anyway, *they have no excuse because we have Jesus Christ, the human form of Divinity, to be able to understand.*

Any religious person will fail to answer this question:
Why have there been thousands of different religions? Even if you pick among the greatest ones, i.ex hinduism. Why did it have its origin? And what makes your religion stand out and differ from the rest?
If let’s say christianity and the idea of a God entity was something the «true God» would finally give to humans through Jesus, how come beliefs of a God was already invented by humans?
This is proof enough to conclude that all religions and beliefs in Godly creatures are imaginary.
All those different religions can’t all be right ….. but they can all be wrong.
@@mattd6050 religious people seem to avoid this subject, or they just ignore other religions because of their faith. I am so bothered by the thought of that religions and the idea of a Godly thing had popped up all across the globe, and they dont talk about the same God at all, but the idea is similar. All the rest is time- and place spesific, which ofc would be logic since people lived in different continents.
While it may seem like the diversity of religions undermines the truth of any one of them, it actually reflects humanity's innate search for meaning and connection with the divine. Different religions have arisen in various cultures, often shaped by their specific histories, languages, and experiences. However, the core of many religions often shares similar values, such as love, justice, and the search for truth.
Your problem is that you misunderstand what you're trying to argue about. Christianity, for example, doesn't dismiss the truths that might exist in other religions; instead, it sees itself as the fulfillment and clarification of those truths.

The reason they have horror stories is their books is a test
They have zero evidence - so these guys go around making cheap promises of Heaven & pesky guys like yourself stand up and ask for evidence and since they have none, they have come up with "Heaven only for believers"
So now they have kept you out, now they have committed followers who drool over their promises
Once they gain a majority they can then come after you
And that is where the horror stories come in - if you can read about a "God" who implores his followers to kill and rape and you are still singing his praises, now you can be implored to go kill and rape those unbelievers, see?
If you see a guy on the street brandishing a knife and saying he is going to kill his family because God told him to you would call the cops. These guys upon learning that the guy's name is Abraham will be singing his praises and handing him big knives

Thank you for those powerful pro-life arguments. I completely agree, we should not be dismembering little women inside of their mother's womb, pulling them out piece by piece, and then laying their body parts together on a surgical tray to make sure that they didn't leave any body parts inside.
And I am thankful that they didn't do this to you, or me, either.
From the moment of conception you are a human being, growing on your own (inside of your mother), with a fully developed and completed human DNA signature that will never have anything taken away from it or added to it, and as early as about 3 weeks through modern technology we can actually detect those signs of life (ie. they are there much earlier, but we can detect them as early as 3 weeks now). It's a beautiful thing.
We don't execute children because they might have a hard life - otherwise we should round up all the disabled and poor children, right?
We also don't execute children because of their location - No doubt, pregnancy is hard (and a blessing according to nearly every mother I've ever spoken to), but that is a distinct separate human being you are dismembering, chemically burning, or starving. A poor little woman denied her rights to her body because the older woman 99% of the time was irresponsible with her sexual behavior (only 1% is due to rape, etc.).
I stand by women's rights too, but I stand for all women, including the little ones you want the right to butcher to sustain your sexual lifestyle.

Do you say that because you believe in the modern mythology that fish evolve into philosophers, and if you just wait a really long *Time* puddles of chemicals can fizz into people by chance?
@@michaelg377 Fish actually never entered my mind.... but know that fish are actually real!
@@jeffreyhearn8930 Fish are very real, but it is a mythology that fish evolve into philosophers - that's not how "science" (a methodology) works. We are all *Uncritically Indoctrinated* into this modern atheistic mythology that puddles of chemicals can fizz into people if you just add lots of *Time,* and that nothing created everything accidentally with mathematical precision for no reason, which is scientifically ludicrous.
Let me ask you this... *How did male and female evolve?* Charles Darwin met the gold standard of science (a methodology) by giving a testable hypothesis for his theory: "If it could be demonstrated that any complex *organ* existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down..."
Before you answer, consider that these are two separate, yet interdependent, precision tuned sets of organs that all have to be working just right or reproduction, life, and evolution fail.
For example:
The fallopian tubes are lined with millions of these little hairs that all wave the same direction, and their purpose is to guide the egg from the ovaries down into the uterus. If they stood still, laid flat, waved the wrong direction, or didn't exist - the egg would either die or it would implant in the fallopian tube thus killing the mother. Some of these are known medical conditions that prevent pregnancy - "Evolution" had to get these millions of hairs just right.... "by numerous, successive, slight modifications."
*Simultaneously* the sperm has a whip like rotor, a motor encasing, a bushing like material, a nutrient transfer system, and several other components that all have to be working *just right* or the sperm can't find the egg. Reproduction and life fails. "Evolution" had to get the interdependent parts of the sperm "just right" ... "by numerous, successive, slight modifications."
*Then* you have the placenta which does everything for the baby including keeping the mother's and baby's blood separate, the expanding and contracting uterus and cervix, the mechanism which only allows one sperm into the egg, and numerous other components that all had to be *designed* just right, or reproduction and life fails. "Evolution" had to *SIMULTANEOUSLY* get all of these just right "by numerous, successive, slight modifications."
Which gender evolved first, and how did it reproduce while the other hadn't evolved yet? And going backwards in time, which of these critical organs do you gradually reduce first "by numerous, successive, slight modifications" without causing reproduction to fail?
*"“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’"* (Matthew 19:4). Such *specified complexity* looks like the product of an Intelligent engineering mind, not the result of chance fizzing chemicals in a puddle. Puddles don't turn themselves into people no matter how much *time* you add to the mix.

Indeed fish are real, but I don't believe they will ever turn into philosophers. Tell me something... in your worldview, when all the right chemicals fizzed into all the necessary proteins required for life, and then into all the necessary cell components inside of a cell enclosure for no reason, *how did they overcome the problem of hydrolysis which inhibits protein formation in water?*
*"we've not made the RNA in a prebiotically relevant manner. It hydrolyzes too rapidly."* (Professor Saztech, Chicago, 2021)
[Regarding Abiogenesis] *"Chemistry is actually hard to get to work. The molecules precipitate. The molecules hydrolyze. The molecules decompose. And so it's very much a constraint that you have to deal with.. it's one g-d problem after another."* (Steve Benner, former Harvard Professor, Director of Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution, 2019)

@@Seticzech *The only way for nature to create itself is if nature is pre-existent - like God.*
The 1st law of thermodynamics doesn't allow energy to "naturally" come from nothing. The 2nd law of thermodynamics (entropy) is that energy is always being converted into a less usable form, and it doesn't allow energy to last forever, because in the infinite past it would have been infinitely used up by now. *So if our universe can't "naturally" have a beginning from nothing, and it can't have just always been here (otherwise all of our energy would be infinitely used up), how do you naturally explain the beginning of our universe?*
Have you ever wondered why Atheistic-Naturalists have to invoke such wild and sci-fi sounding theories to sustain their "natural" (atheistic) beliefs on our origins? *Infinite* alternate universes, an *eternal self-existent* singularity, alternate unobservable metaphysical laws of nature, *pre-existent* phenomena... they have to attribute supernatural qualities of God to "nature" in order to "naturally" explain our origins. This is the Atheist's Natural-Supernatural (!) worldview. It's an internally inconsistent and self-refuting belief system... the only way for nature to create itself is if nature is *pre-existent - like God.*
*"The evidence of God... has been clearly seen since the beginning in all that has been created, so they will have no excuse"* (Romans 1:20)
The laws of thermodynamics don't allow the universe to exist forever, so there must be a previous "nothing [material]" at some point. Either you look beyond the 2nd law of thermodynamics (ie. "beyond-nature" = Supernatural), or you declare our universe to be pre-existent and self-existent like God - either way you refute your entire philosophy of Naturalism and every doctrine built upon it (Abiogenesis, Evolution, Big Bang, etc.).

Well said
The entire evolution of the Universe has nothing against the truth about/from God/Jesus (many parts from the Bible being told metaphorically, not literally, at those times people not having enough knowledge scientifically, but now we can fully understand the metaphors used). For example, the dust from which Adam and Eve have been created is representing their material bodies (parts of this material world), God giving spirit to those material bodies. Eve made from Adam's rib is referring to the X chromosome from the XY.
Therefore, Adam and Eve are representing the first hominids species chosen by God to place *the immortal spirits* (cast out from Heaven) and that is why Abel killed by Cain are representing the Neanderthals (Abel) extinct by the Homo Sapiens (Cain). People from many thousands of years ago, when Genesis was written, could not understand exactly (scientifically) how God has created everything, including their ancestors.
Just as billions of cells are needed for us to live this earthly life, in a similar way are required billions of galaxies for the intelligent life to be hosted intentionally to have 100% freedom, like humans on Earth. *Think how wonderful the Creator is, the opposite of a dictator, to create this reality in this way, with 100% freedom. He has told us to live in freedom but to not use freedom as a cover-up for evil.*
Unfortunately, Satan, the fallen angels, respectively their tools in this world - the evil=stupid humans - have used (are using) the freedom offered by God to do evil intentionally. However, all will be judged 100% correctly by God/Jesus and all will receive what they deserve.
Therefore, atheists are deceived because evolution is not an argument against God's existence because the entire process until humans time proves the existence of God, *the results of a process proving the intelligence involved into that process* and because *from no intelligence involved, no intelligence comes.*
Furthermore, the conventional biological evolution is hiding the facts about Satan and the other fallen angels who, according to the "Parable of the weeds", have altered this world, the DNA... (making the carnivores, the parasites, the viruses, bad bacteria etc....) to sustain the useless suffering while, initially, all insects, animals etc. were feeding only with plants (plants products, such as fruits, nectar, seeds etc.).
The fallen angels, being sadistic, have altered the DNA of most living things (including us) to do as default both: reproduce uncontrollably (as much as they can) and fight (kill) each other. Unfortunately, they love to see living things suffering, especially human beings suffering.
Because any child is a chance for a soul to escape hell, they want to destroy us since our physical body conception (all the time in any way possible). That is why they make us suffer, as much as possible, by using our stupidity and the stupidity of the other people around us.
Regarding the manipulation through fake science, anyone can read online the Scientific American article titled: "Is Lawrence Krauss a Physicist, or Just a Bad Philosopher?" (about his book: "A Universe from nothing")
I mention here just few quotations: "He [Lawrence Krauss] is presenting untested speculative theories of how things came into existence out of a pre-existing complex of entities, including variational principles, quantum field theory, specific symmetry groups, a bubbling vacuum, all the components of the standard model of particle physics, and so on. He does not explain in what way these entities could have pre-existed the coming into being of the universe, why they should have existed at all, or why they should have had the form they did. And he gives no experimental or observational process whereby we could test these vivid speculations of the supposed universe-generation mechanism. How indeed can you test what existed before the universe existed? You can t."
*Horgan:* Larry, I'll always be grateful to you for helping bring me up to speed on modern cosmology 22 years ago when I was researching an article for Scientific American. And what's disappointing is that, apart from the discovery of the acceleration of the cosmic expansion, which was certainly a big surprise, nothing has really changed since then. You and/or your popularizing colleagues--Hawking, Greene, Kaku, Susskind--are still marketing various unsubstantiated versions of inflation, multiverse theories, string theory, vacuum energy, anthropic principle, etc. What's ironic is that, although you don't have any more evidence for these speculations, your marketing of them has become more aggressive... and yet you accuse ME of hype.
*Krauss:* John first, I didn't make any definitive claims.. and I get offended when people claim I make such.. second I tried to indicate how much has changed in the last 22 years.. that is the purpose of the book.. things are dramatically different than they were then, and I went through a very careful analysis to describe these changes..... the analysis of fluctuations in the CMB, the discovery that the universe is flat.. these are REAL empirical discoveries that both impact upon and add credence to many of our ideas.
*Horgan:* Larry, so you're saying that you're not claiming to have answered the question posed by your book's title? You're just tossing some ideas around, and you don't expect anyone to take them too seriously? OK, that's a useful clarification. It also means that things have not progressed in the last 22 years, in spite of what you just asserted. I think you better tell Dawkins, before he embarrasses himself further.
Just remember Richard Dawkins calls himself a "cultural Christian".
I just remembered that Christians think that’s something that it’s not.
@@damienschwass9354 Generally, those from such videos, exposed to my clear and undeniable demonstrations but who still want to remain atheists, are ignoring intentionally the simple fact that *from no intelligence involved, no intelligence comes,* hoping that this reality is the result of no intelligence, in other words that God does not exist, only to escape the responsibility for their deeds, to not be Judged by God/Jesus after the leaving of this world, but they are in error. *_"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad."_* 2 Corinthians 5, 10

It does great disservice to Dawkins to say he "destroyed" these people who were willing to discuss their differing views. He gives rational arguments, and from what I can see, he is careful to qualify his views, so as not to state things as facts if they are just strongly supported suppositions. Any true scientist is fully aware that you cannot scientifically disprove the existence of a god or gods, because it falls squarely into the category of things which cannot be falsified with certainty.
question is, do you have to disprove this existence, I think there's enough logic to rule out the sanity behind the worship of such a god... without evidence the existence of a god is like a broken clock, it might or might not tell the right time twice per day, but you have no way of telling when, so what would be the point in entertaining this existence? How do you even begin to truthfully do things that you know for sure this entity will reward you for? also the existence of a god, a soul and an afterlife are a failed hypothesis, entertaining the existence of this construct never yielded any next steps, any progress, we're still debating the mere existence where science uncovered many other things that can be built on and yield useful results.
Theists love to use the whole "real scientists know they can't disprove God" pseudointellectual nonsense. Real scientists also know they can't determine the true state of Schrodinger's cat without direct observation either. They also can't disprove the existence of magical pocket gnomes that tangle your headphones.
@@0pct-Zscrop2-bcue7im9a.4space There is nothing nonsensical about the statement that true scientists know they can't disprove God. It's well supported by the conventional structure of the scientific method, which true scientists adhere to.
I am not a theist, I am agnostic, not that it matters to the substance of the argument at hand.
The point of Schrodinger's cat wasn't whether you could determine its true state without direct observation. The point was that the cat existed in both states at once, alive and dead, until you observed it, at which time it resolved itself into one state or the other.
And Schrodinger wasn't using that analogy in support of that notion, but to ridicule the interpretation of quantum mechanics that particles exist in a state of superposition until they are observed, even passively.
And that was my main point, that Dawkins appears to be a true scientist who adheres to that philosophy of science and epistemology. It is to his credit as a scientist. I don't think he is out to "destroy" anybody, but rather to have a rational discussion about this interesting question.
And regardless of any opinion I might have about their views, I think it is to the credit of any theists who invited him to do so. Good for them, for not hiding in their corner and confining themselves to their echo chamber. I like to think this is Dawkins feeling as well, judging from how he seems to comport himself as a sincere seeker of the truth, however elusive that truth might be.

For many people, "God" is the answer to everything they don't understand.
Therefore, very religious people have a very large lack of understanding.
In brief, the Creator of this world (God/Divinity) exists because this reality, with us into it, is not the result of nothing, or the result of no intelligence, because *from no intelligence involved, no intelligence comes.* That is why atheists renounce to elementary logic and to simple rationality intentionally when they believe that this reality has always existed without any intelligence involved.
*God is not bounded by what He has created,* but atheists, in their superficiality, do not want to recognize their limitations. For example, science will never be able to really know, at least, what a photon is (the magnification process being infinite). Regarding the Creator of this reality (the nature of God etc.), our power of comprehension will always be like how much the cups can think to understand the man who made them (comparison mentioned in the Bible), but *we have Jesus Christ, the human form of Divinity, to be able to see God and what He expects from us.*
Therefore, those wise enough understand that *God is not bounded by time (not being bounded by what He has created), respectively He is eternal, always existed, which means that He was not created,* but atheists ignore, also, the other fact already mentioned by me about the nature of God that *our power of comprehension will always be like how much the cups can think to understand the man who made them". Anyway, they have no excuse because we have Jesus Christ, the human form of Divinity, to be able to understand.*
The rest can be read into my thread posted 2 weeks ago.
@@filmeseverin Usual utter nonsense.
As usual, are in denial (without counterarguments, of course) only those who are too superficial to think enough to understand *the simple fact that from no intelligence involved, no intelligence comes,* the entire process until nowadays proving the existence of God because *the results of a process prove the intelligence involved into that process* (even schoolchildren can understand that every photon, ... atom, ... cell has intelligence into it, *not to mention their functionality together).*
They ignore the intelligence put from the beginning. For example, the intelligence mentioned includes the exact value of the speed of light matching the manifestation of what we call "gravity", working together since the primordial conditions to form in the end this reality, which hosts intelligent life that is able to feel / understand / admire / enjoy / respect / love the Creator, especially through His human form, Jesus Christ.
He didn't destroy them. He made them double down on their faith. You can only open up a religious person little by little, one neuron at a time, not by brute force. Scientists should finally use science in spreading science to religious audiences.
Go Richard! As an atheist I love your fight.
Which fight? He couldn't even generate any truth claim without appealing to an omnicient, omnipotent being. He can't know truth for certain without God, so everything he says could be false. What kinda fight is that, if you go to battle without any armor?
@@HenryDalcke Fight against dogmatism and ignorance which ruled the human population for millennia and which are responsible for hundreds of millions of human lives.
"He couldn't even generate any truth claim without appealing to an omnicient, omnipotent being." Of course he can, ANYBODY can. I didn't appealed to any silly fictional god for majority of my life, I don't even consider any god for literally anything, it's totally poinless, useless, irrational topic. I don't even know anybody who does that.
"He can't know truth for certain without God" Truth is there is no evidence for any god. Truth is gods are most likely pure fiction, evidence suggest that prety clearly. I can give you couple paragraphs with summary why is that.
"so everything he says could be false" Thing is he never ever said "gods don't exists". 😀He just talk about beliefs, religion, and humanity under theistic dogma. Everything he says can be verified or refuted with evidence, anyone can do that yet nobody ever did. I wonder why.
@@HenryDalckewhat are you talking about?
@@JonDrake1 In order to generate an argument, you have to presuppose the universal, eternal laws of logic, certain knowledge, objective truth, consciousness and a way to conceptualize what's real. How does Dawkins derive that from a worldview without God?
Yeah, needlessly fighting truth
if a religious person has a very sick child, they take them to a scientifically trained doctor. when the child is cured thanks to science, the family thank God, instead of the Doctor!! Why don't they just take the child to the church in the first place? is it perhaps that their all powerful God wouldn't have a clue what to do. And why would he/she have created illness in the first place.? keep up the good work x
if you think that's what Christianity is about, then you're horribly ill informed. No wonder you're not a believer. Who says belief in God requires rejection of science?
The very founding fathers of modern science believed in God. Newton, Kepler, Babbage, and others. What's more, it was their belief in God that drove their scientific work. Science and God are not opposed to each other. They complement each other. Dawkins has woefully miseducated you.
Besides, without God having created the universe as he did (with its scientific laws) there'd be no universe in which science could be done at all, including medicine.
As for the existence of illness, Adam and Eve explains that and all other such things. It's a broken world, hence heaven.
@@kofidan9128 The great scientists of centuries ago set out to find god but found science instead. That's why today we use science instead of prayer or magic to make things happen. Science is about progression, and we have now progressed well beyond god magic in science. U are such a dirty POS.

This is your assumption about a "religious person". In reality they would've thanked the doctor and then thanked God in their prayers. What's so funny about that?

It amazes me that the christian argujing in this vidoe actually thinks that he makes sense. The bible condones slavery. "Well yes, but many would say that the bible also inspired the end of slavery".

This is why they can't be debated. They will never come from a point of logic.

@@josmith9662 I'm confused by what you are trying to say. Concerning whether or not the god of Christianity is real, I could easily go on all day pointing out countless contradictions in the Bible, but before I get into that since we were talking about slavery, please give me a straight yes or no answer to whether you condone slavery? The law of Moses condones buying a slave, owning them for life (unless they are a Jewish male slave, then they might go free after 6 years, but the women and foreign bought slaves never go free), and beating them freely even to the point of injury because they are "property". But having pointed this out I have never managed to get a Christian to give a straight yes or no answer to the question "Is slavery is okay?". Perhaps you will be the first Christian to answer this question without dodging it. Do you believe that slavery as defined by God in the law of Moses is morally okay?

The problem with the deceived ones is that they do not know enough science, otherwise they would realize the fact that true/proven/useful science is used to gain the trust and after that the fake/unproven (because it is false) science, *on which are wasted the most resources,* is used to manipulate the superficial people, to keep them away from the truth about/from God/Jesus, the most important truth.
*MATERIALISM* contradicts itself and proves *God*
1. Materialism assumes reality is composed of only MATTER and ENERGY
2. INFORMATION is always instantiated in or on matter or energy
3. So materialists assume information originates from mass + energy
4. But from Claude Shannon information is a COMMUNICATION of MEANING ENCODED in a LANGUAGE
5. But language only comes from a MIND
6. So matter + energy cannot be the source of information
7. Therefore the origin of information can only be a mind
8. Therefore if nature includes information we know it originated from a mind
9. DNA's only function is to store, transmit and copy information
10. Therefore that mind must be outside of our reality ie *GOD!*
