I thank God for John Lennox. He's got the sharpest mind, but comes across like your favourite grandfather - "Let your gentleness be evident to all" Phil 4:5.
he's an idiot. so many thing he say is just taken out of thin air. you could insert an 3 legged giraffe every time he say god. maybe then you could see how crazy it is.
The biggest learning that I've come to in the last 12 months since giving up athiesm and doing a deep dive in apologetics is the realisation that there are multiple ways TO LOGICALLY arrive at not only God's existence but to the triune God that Jesus preached about. Athiesm is one of the most self refuting and illogical worldviews out there.
Have you come to the Realization that Christ is the Life of Your Being, and not something in a man 2,000 years ago?? Through the false sense of the belief we are human mortal being, the purpose is to lie about the immortal omnipresence of God.... This false belief in a human mortal existence separate and apart from the Infinite Spirit of God Conscioisness that you truly are is what is meant to be OVERCOME..... We must Remove the False Mortal Image of a mortal ME separate and apart from God.... Every communication Unfolding from God within is to encourage the Spirit/Soul die to the False Sense of Mortal Self, as the Purpose of the Soul is to take Dominion over our only Adversary, the World Mind and it's thoughts tempting us to believe mortality/form/decay is reality.... Where everything mortal appears to be, Only the Infinite, Omnipresent Spirit of God is... I and the Father are One!! Once able to accept this mortal Experience is for the Immortal Soul and not the mortal sense of self, one ultimately comes to the Virginal Realization that the Spirit of God is the Only Life, and that I am the Infinte Spirit of God, as Jesus, John, Paul, Moses, Elijah, Buddha, Krishna, Lao Tzu, Shankara, Meister Eckhart, Madam Guyon, Fenelon, and many more have done....
@History DiveTV, I totally agree with you, John Lennox is the best ambassador I've listened to.... to date about the authenticity of the Bible, his talent for getting to the heart of the matter is second to none in this century, including CS Lewis.
I've noticed that too. He knows it. He believes it in the core of his being. Yes he has learning and training to be able to deliver this that the average person doesn't have, but he doesn't really have to think about it seems to me.
Also coming back to God after not realizing I had wandered away and thinkers like this have really helped me to affirm my faith that God is and Jesus defeated sin and death for us. Praying for faith with deep roots in good ground but everyone has different rates of spiritual growth. God bless!
@@aaronbenavides1169 You believe in magic. You have been brainwashed a million times without realizing it. Do you know what the true purpose of the church is? It's not to save your soul. Souls don't exist. They are magical body parts that don't correspond to reality. Many people in the world are under the delusion that souls exist, without ever investigating it to see if they're being misled or not. The purpose of the church is to scam people out of their wealth. They demand 10% of your income as a tithe, and more if they really don't care about hurting people. Kenneth Copeland was a charlatan long before he became a scam pastor. He's worth $800 million, owns several private jets, lives in a mansion, and doesn't pay a penny in taxes, because it's a church write-off. He makes money by lying to your grandmother and convincing her to fork over her limited income, such as a social security check. Every pastor or priest or imam or rabbi is some version of that. If they lie for money, they are frauds. If they do it under the false authority of cultural myths, the government gives them the right to swindle anyone they want for any amount, and never have to pay a tax on it. The founders' lack of foresight has ruined this country.
From Canada having lived 70 years, I thank you for this program & the people who give us Dr. Lennox. I have believed since a little tot. I thank God for my Christian family & friends!🙏🐑
You and I are close in age. I am a man of great faith--- faith in myself and my creator. What name we place on our belief/ faith system may differ. In the past 23 years I have researched into the supernatural. My discoveries and empirical evidence is extremely examined using Technological tools of our age. My faith has been consistent. "God of the Bible" is faith-based. Synchronistic Mathematics is experiential.
Prof Lennox, cordial thanks to the way in which you share your brilliant mind. Here in Austria, as all over Europe and America, we are flooded with materialism, wokism, political Islam, relativism, so-called academic rationalism, atheism, eco-socialism, pharmaceutical rule, war spirit etc. I'm a Christian and an academic. We are fighting the same spiritual fight. For our children and grand-children. God bless you!
You do realise hes pushing a false interpretation of where the scientific community stands, he's making false claims as true and ignoring the fact that in science we do not deny god, we just don't bring a god into the equation because there is absolutely no evidence to suggest one and no reason to otherwise, unfortunately the followers of these videos often are brainwashed by religion to think complexity, design etc all need a creator when that is simply not true.
@@genome616Any design has a designer, any composition a composer, any work of art an artist, any dance a choreographer, any building an architect, any piece of literature an author, any film a script-writer, director, producer, any scientific finding a thinker or researcher, any creation a creator. Proof enough!
@@christinagrabner4451 Evolution is its own design tool allowing natural selection through survival of the fittest, no physical designer needed only a given set of rules, I can create a computer program to follow similar rules and give complex outcomes and yes I did create the program but that is not my point, nature too can create it own rules and end with complex systems given enough time. This closed minded idea that everything you experience has to have some intelligent creator is the result of your indoctrination when I can personally demonstrate how simple rules of nature can lead to very complex observations and outcomes without a designer, the laws of physics and universal constants set their own conditions for natural complexity, just because we do not know why these laws exist as they do does not mean we shout God, science does not need, use or consider a god as nothing observational or evident to imply there is one.
If I had been in that hall, I would have stood up in the end with the greatest enthusiasm, gratitude and joy that this splendid man, sir John Lennox, is among us. A true aristocrat of the spirit, of highest order, and the most vividly brilliant mind. And, above all, a Light-full one.
I've been a biochemist for over 20 years, and it never ceases to amaze me that so many humans think that what we see, study, understand and test is the penultimate to all things in the universe. Consider for a moment that our minds are miniscule in the grand concept of life and the universe and there are so many things that are way above our ability to understand. The more I learn and study science the more I realize how damn much we're still struggling to understand
I will help you simply. There are 2 realities. The natural, which we see and touch, etc. But there is the super natural…which is usually invisible, unless they , the “beings become visible.” I myself am able to see the supernatural world, as they manifest themselves to me for 45 years…and there are millions of proof, they have and do appear over all of history to millions of people! So my point is…since 2 realities do in fact exist…then this proves that God exists! It’s not rocket science. I and the others who know, see, are touched by ‘them” prove God is the Truth…these other beings are either good or bad angels. If you want more proof…explain how your lips, tongue, and voice box make “sound.” Sound exists, yet it is not visible…but it’s there! Now take that to the next level…God’s invisible qualities prove He is real…how do you argue with all this proof I gave you!
And the argument that we now know is hilarious. Science helps us understand the systems god created. But seriously we cant fully explain light or gravity yet. The closest theory of Einstein's relativity falls apart in the macro, and quantum. Because space in the nacro is expanding faster than light because of gravity which is limited to the speed of light. But even if we completely figure something out just shows gods creation, not takes over from it.
When we are born in to incomprehensible complexity, we have no relative perception from which to judge from. Urgency, survival, and the flesh further confound our odds of clarity.
'IN the beginning was the Word and the word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. 3-All things were made through Him, & without Him nothing was made that was made 4-In Him was life & the life was the light of man. 5-and the life shineth in the darkness and the darkness compromised it not....9-That was the true light that gives light to every man that comes into the world. 10-He was in the world & the world was made through Him and the world did not know Him 11-He came to His own and His own did not receive Him 12-but as many that received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those that believe in His name 13-who were born not of blood, nor of the will of flesh or of the will of man, but of God 14-And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us'! NOW look at Collossians 1:12-18 & Genesis 1 & 2. NOW:2 Peter 1: 1-'Simon Peter a bond servant & Apostle of Jesus Christ...2-Grace and peace be multiplied to you in a knowledge of Gid and Savior Jesus Christ 3-AS HIS DIVINE POWER HAS GIVEN UNTO US all things that pertain to life and Godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.4-by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature...' to vs21 Then read Job..especially 38 on..there is much we can know of God that He wants us to know..the trouble is: man wants to be as God & go beyond realms to be as Him. He can be found & known in the simple..that reveals the same as of the depths of our searchings.
I would like to say a Big Thank you to mainstream tv entertainment which drove me to DISPARE to look for something worth my time....... and so I found John Lennox and Pratical Wisdom. Many thanks, long may you continue in health and Spirit. Greetings from 🇮🇪
Always a pleasure to listen to John Lennox. Throughout the history, Christians have been considered to be "stupid" and "naive". These days there are more and more intellectuals that take God seriously.
Exactly, the conversation is shifting I think, as Justin Brierley points out in his book (mentioned at the conference) and secular thinkers are taking these conversations more seriously.
It's quite possible that people are having some very real experiences with psychedelics that 'changes' them and are comingto Christianity because. There are many testimonys I've heard that sound so very life changing for people who are using it as therapy for addiction and mental health care. LIFE CHANGING!! and many of the testimonys include the fact that JESUS is there when we leave this life Just sayin🎉😇
Practical Wisdom has become my favorite resource on UA-cam, not only because of the guests but the questions asked by Dr Marusca and the trouble he goes to summarize and organize his comments. The time stamps re marvelous as I can go back and listen to the area I need, as with a guest like John Lennox that says such deep and penetrating statements that challenge my thinking. Dr Marusca is helpful when he makes follow-up comments and questions that clarify and prompt the guests to clarify. This channel is a treasure and a blessing.
Why is one letting speak so long this copiumed delusional hallucinous gullible human being, John Lennox, who is just preaching such cheating lying sickening obnoxious religious fabrications, fairy-tales and myths? The moderator is like John Lennox too, well just another copiumed delusional hallucinous gullible human being! Educate yourself! Go watch at least MythVision!

@@sally9352 Oh, where to start! He is not even aware of the first-rate atheistic philosophy and atheistic arguments. He is mostly focused on attacking the sort of Richard Dawkins and Hitchens (aka new atheism). After all, he belongs to the same category as them. His understanding of philosophy of religion or philosophy in general is very poor and he mostly regurgitates CS Lewis. Not to mention his reduction of Christianity to the level of Grimm fairytales.
Dear John Lennox your account of things is so enlightening and encouraging that I have sent this video via WhatsApp to all my mobile contacts asking them to give it a listen. I pray their eyes and ears, minds are opened for surely their hearts will be overjoyed with what the whole world needs to understand and believe 🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless
The most brilliant thing lennox could do is to concede that there isn't a skerrick of evidence to support the existence of God, and that he believes in God because of the culture he was born into, and because it makes him feel comfortable.
That is very observant of mr Lennox! I am certain now that most evolutionists will say something similar, tongue in cheek, hopeing no one would call their bluff like mr Lennox has! It is interesting that there is millions being spent right now trying to find life somewhere in space, surely it's out there somewhere, anywhere!!! Lol. Of course it's no laughing matter, in layman's terms the alien being is already here, and has made himself known with his creation, unfortunately too many people, dispite the wonders of life stubbornly refuse to believe unless they find a barcode stamped on every plant and animal!
"A relationship with the one who created the universe is the biggest thing". I agree completely. John Lennox is the highly intelligent, inspirational and kind-hearted man with a genuine Christian faith, I always wanted as a Granddad in my childhood. One that I could learn valuable things from.

Professor John Lennox is just ONE OF A KIND. EXTRAORDINARY. OUTSTANDING. EXCELLENT......Thank you so much. It's absolutely pleasure and intellectual banquet listening to Him.
It was a beautiful conference and well appreciated guest.Thank you for the initiative and we are looking forward for more projects in the future .Well done Dr.Samuel Marusca
I thank God I stumbled upon John Lennox. I really enjoyed the wisdom shared. Thank you for making our walks as Christians easier, clearer and giving us the language we need to share our gift.
John Lennox, thank you sir. It has been a great pleasure to listen to a Man of God, and science . He has opened so much for me. I am only just getting to know his work. Brilliant man! I am new in my relationship with Christ. I have been a Christian since i was incredibly young when introduced to Christianity. but took steps two years ago to really know, who Christ is, what exactly is Christianity outside of Religion. Amazing adventure so far. Two people Lennox and Hovind have made me realize just how God and science go hand and hand. I don't have to choose between the two...
@@nathancook2852oh Nathan grow up, go listen to hugh ross he's a astrophysicist and a Christian who brings in science so stay in your lane and sit your low iq ass down, John lennox explains why science doesn't explain what you think it does as said in the title maybe you need to go back to school and learn how to read, John gave perfect examples of that
The fact that an 80-year-old man can reason and argue so coherently about the Christian Faith gives me hope that at 74, there may still be hope for me to not succumb to the dementia that ended my mother's life. I hope in Christ/Messiah for the future, Amen. Professor Lennox has had a huge impact on my life and faith.
If God powerful,Merciful,and Love us, why the holocaust 6 million Jews the chosen people killed,the hurricane, wars ,diseases, why he allows all this suffering, its seems that he has no power at all. Matter has sconsciousness, cannot be created nor destroyed. The Universe according to NASA is 13+ billions years old,the Mahabaratha of India 330 Trillion years old better than NASA, I say the Universe has no begining and has no end,its forever. Matter change form thru time. The Genesis say 6000 year old which is rediculous, better study some more Dr. Lennox!
Thank you so so much Justin for your continued hard work to bring people of all beliefs to debate with Christians. You were not afraid to go there, and Unbelievable was a smash hit because it included everyone. Thank you too for this fantastic discussion with the amazing John Lennox. He is such a gift, as are you yourself. I look forward to hearing more of these wonderful Christians including Keith Ward and Richard Bauckham to name just two. We so need people like this at the moment, the way the world is.
What a brave and smart man Lennox is. His analogy of miracles not going against the laws of nature the same way someone catching a glass on the air is not going against the law of gravitation is brilliant.
Greetings to you John Lennox, it has been quite some time since I seen you, good to see you, this was a long discussion, you definitely are chatty and still sharp of mind, I will be checking out your other recent discussions such as 'Can Science explain everything'
Watching from India found the entire programme very edifying lifting me to higher paralence of faith in Christ.Thank you Prof.Lennox and all the team.God bless.
John's response to the guy asking about suffering and dying and how God allows (1:19:46) it is so inspiring. He builds into it for a while and then gives the message of hope (1:25:29) about the woman with cancer and the woman who lost her husband. Truly amazing that response is.
Prof. Lennox serves as my lifetime inspiration, He has helped me reconcile my intellect to the Power of Christ and am now persuaded that Christianity is even a not only complementary to Science but a rather superior realm that supercedes the limits of Science
Amen brother in Christ!! I teach Science at a Christian high school and I supplement MITOSIS with some of the new biological mechanisms known today. Sure cells undergo MITOSIS but the enzymes that control MITOSIS open up your DNA and your two DNA stands ROTATE around each other faster than a JET engine!! Additionally there are motor proteins that walk up and down your copied DNA strands performing ERROR CORRECTION!! To GOD be the GLORY!!
I love it. It is also good for him and us that he is able to still remain mentally sharp at his age, remembering every question asked of him and answering them with precise specifics.
This man is brilliant! Agree or disagree these arguments are well thought out. He also LISTENS. How many obvious geniuses listen then answer the actual question. Impressive
@@ohdehhan are you listening to his entire answer? He definitely digresses but tends to get there. The questions are complicated and require in depth answers. I’m not saying he always hits it but certainly does not “often” miss the question. 9 out of 10 is better than Dawkins or the average professor
The agent vs the function explanation is simply brilliant. My car functions by internal combustion, but my car equally operates because (agency) I need to go to the store. So there is a how and a why which are equally important.
I was virulently atheist for decades, I was wrong, very wrong. I recently became a Catholic and I will never look back. It explains everything. Faith does not contradict science and reason, it merely sits above them.

We are so blessed to have such a Christ filled man teaching us new and revealing insights on topics that we never thought existed or if they do he explains them in a simple concise way that we can understand. Thank you John, keep up the good work!
I had been following Dr Lennox for decade , a humble inspirational thinkers, along with Dr Ross Hugh and Dr Scott Hahn, they are one of a kind in our era. Great conference though, Thanks for sharing😍🙏🏻. Greetings from 🇮🇩
Samuel, thank you very much to you and Prof. Lennox. I think that the quality and quantity of objections and questions demonstrate the beauty, the truth and the goodness of this dialogue. I'd like to quote a Saint ( because sanctity or flourishing of life is the end of life, and science and even of technology!) "What kind of happiness does man seek? He desires a happiness that is limitless in everything. Such happiness is only found in God. " (Maximilian Kolbe)
21:44 in and im jazzed to keep going. the packaging of your arguments is a thing of beauty to behold, just getting started. thank you Professor, doing God's work my friend, God Bless
If you start with the conclusion of God existing, then yes. But if you don't make that unnecessary assumption than you can shorten that sentence to: "Science is simply the understanding of the physical."
Love Lennox. It us fun to watch English men talking about important things. It's a masterclass on how to say the most important things in existence while looking like they aren't listening.

Terimasih Tuhan. Akhirnya aku lega mendengarkan tentang kebaikan Tuhan dari bapak John Lennox. Seorang ahli matematika yang rendah hati. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Salam hangat dari Indonesia.
What lead me to Christianity was that comment, there must be more to life than what i was experiencing. And my life wasn't all that bad. When the time was right, I was frightened into the kingdom. I was in awe of him.
Have you been in a Doomsday Cult? If not, there's literally *more to life* than what you've experienced. But is that a good reason to join a Doomsday Cult? For me truth is the focus, so the only good reason to believe an idea is if we have evidence it's true. We don't have that for any gods currently.
Your logic is poor: who conceived the preconceived notion? Why? How? When? How do you know? You were there and witnessed it all? How do you know everything you learned? From preconceived teaching.
@@ingoditrust7784 A bizarre comment! Just listen to him and you can hear his backwards logic - in fact, he avoids saying anything that would stand up as a syllogism.
@@StudentDad-mc3pu bizarre? Preconceived refers to a point in time, such as a trial, etc. so if a judge decides on an outcome ahead of due process, such a decision would qualify as preconceived. To return to your own position, if someone believes in God it's preconception. Yet there are historic and scientifically investigated facts which we believers study before making up our minds. There is also written tradition: most of what we accept in our belief system relies on generations and generations of witnesses, credible ones at that. When you on the other hand decide to believe Dickie Dawkie on life coming out of "rock and sand", not only do you accept a preposterous idea, but also a very illogical one: we all know from observation that there is no tendency for stuff to come out of chaos and start evolving towards complex order. Yes, snow crystals do that, but they are not living matter. Everything degenerates in nature, nothing starts organizing spontaneously. Ever. So logic dictates that we look for causality, not far-fetched pseudo-plausibility.
@@vladtheemailer3223 and yet no one has proved God is not real either, and I argue this is a debate that can never be won in either direction. That does not mean we can not live in unison, agreeing to disagree respectfully is the key and needs to be practiced by all parties. What is, and is not real is all in our head, feelings and personal experiences. No one lives the life we do, so their reality is always going to be different.
@@vladtheemailer3223 You understand that the whole point of politics is to have control and push your viewpoints. Whether thats to push Christianity in your argument, or Islam, or even Atheism (as a belief system and therefore religion as pointed out in this). The problem here is the fact the two (beliefe and politics) are intersecting, and being used in a psychological way to try and garner votes. Of course life is never simple and things do overlap, but try to understand what it is you really object to. I think in this case its the imposing of politicians rather than the subject, I am sure you can think if other things they are pushing you are also not happy with. Don't be misdirected by them, that's how all con artists work 😉
I'm not a flat-earther, but I think one of the main reasons for the idea is a lack of trust in the authorities.. governments, universities, media, etc. I now have a deep distrust in all human authorities. Thank you Jesus for your word, which is my anchor.
You should also toss in there NASA faking everything they do via CGI, green screens in NASA’s pools, chromakey, augmented reality, parabolic planes, wires and harnesses….. But hey the “intellectualist” John still thinks people can and have “landed on the moon” 😂

"The fact that I can do maths proves there is a god... it's the only thing that makes sense" He then gives other examples to make the point that because something is complex, there must be a god. And that is his response to the god of the gaps argument. Its staggering how bereft of reasoning his arguments are.
The ironic part is that he is considered to be one of the most brilliant Christian intellectuals. No wonder that people are deconverting in droves when these vacuous arguments count as the best that Christianity has to offer.😂
Ah, but is he being bereft of reasoning, or is it in fact "Christian Reasoning" layered on top of "Christian Faith"! ... to give THE IMPRESSION of great reasoning.
With all the resources the scientists have at the moment...it's high time they created life in the lab...to prove once and for all primary abiogenesis. Untill then atheism requires the greatest faith...😂
@@anj4727 Fortunately Evolution is already a proven scientific fact. And almost no one actually tries to create life in a lab the way Abiogenesis requires it to happen.

@@aaronbenavides1169 You believe in magic. You have been brainwashed a million times without realizing it. Do you know what the true purpose of the church is? It's not to save your soul. Souls don't exist. They are magical body parts that don't correspond to reality. Many people in the world are under the delusion that souls exist, without ever investigating it to see if they're being misled or not.
The purpose of the church is to scam people out of their wealth. They demand 10% of your income as a tithe, and more if they really don't care about hurting people. Kenneth Copeland was a charlatan long before he became a scam pastor. He's worth $800 million, owns several private jets, lives in a mansion, and doesn't pay a penny in taxes, because it's a church write-off. He makes money by lying to your grandmother and convincing her to fork over her limited income, such as a social security check.
Every pastor or priest or imam or rabbi is some version of that. If they lie for money, they are frauds. If they do it under the false authority of cultural myths, the government gives them the right to swindle anyone they want for any amount, and never have to pay a tax on it. The founders' lack of foresight has ruined this country.
From Canada having lived 70 years, I thank you for this program & the people who give us Dr. Lennox. I have believed since a little tot. I thank God for my Christian family & friends!🙏🐑
You and I are close in age. I am a man of great faith--- faith in myself and my creator. What name we place on our belief/ faith system may differ. In the past 23 years I have researched into the supernatural. My discoveries and empirical evidence is extremely examined using Technological tools of our age. My faith has been consistent.

Prof Lennox, cordial thanks to the way in which you share your brilliant mind. Here in Austria, as all over Europe and America, we are flooded with materialism, wokism, political Islam, relativism, so-called academic rationalism, atheism, eco-socialism, pharmaceutical rule, war spirit etc. I'm a Christian and an academic. We are fighting the same spiritual fight. For our children and grand-children. God bless you!
Thank you for your kind words. We are all fighting the same spiritual fight. It's great to know there are fellow academics watching this conversation.
You do realise hes pushing a false interpretation of where the scientific community stands, he's making false claims as true and ignoring the fact that in science we do not deny god, we just don't bring a god into the equation because there is absolutely no evidence to suggest one and no reason to otherwise, unfortunately the followers of these videos often are brainwashed by religion to think complexity, design etc all need a creator when that is simply not true.
@@genome616Any design has a designer, any composition a composer, any work of art an artist, any dance a choreographer, any building an architect, any piece of literature an author, any film a script-writer, director, producer, any scientific finding a thinker or researcher, any creation a creator. Proof enough!
@@christinagrabner4451 Evolution is its own design tool allowing natural selection through survival of the fittest, no physical designer needed only a given set of rules, I can create a computer program to follow similar rules and give complex outcomes and yes I did create the program but that is not my point, nature too can create it own rules and end with complex systems given enough time.
This closed minded idea that everything you experience has to have some intelligent creator is the result of your indoctrination when I can personally demonstrate how simple rules of nature can lead to very complex observations and outcomes without a designer, the laws of physics and universal constants set their own conditions for natural complexity, just because we do not know why these laws exist as they do does not mean we shout God, science does not need, use or consider a god as nothing observational or evident to imply there is one.
@@christinagrabner4451Proof lololol 😅 Humans and animals design and create things= legions of invisible supernatural beings watching over us.
If I had been in that hall, I would have stood up in the end with the greatest enthusiasm, gratitude and joy that this splendid man, sir John Lennox, is among us. A true aristocrat of the spirit, of highest order, and the most vividly brilliant mind. And, above all, a Light-full one.
Dr. Lennox is a wonderful trophy of grace. I hope that God continues to bless us through this man’s life for many more years to come.
We need to petition to keep john lennox alive another 20 years. I know its selfish but its christmas soon.
Don't worry, I'm sure he'll never die, anyway.

I think that was actually created by men!!
@@bobthebaptist4541 Why did you God create any pathogen?
We live in a very broken world. Everything was created good but because people reject God many things are no longer good.
Professor Lennox, I so appreciate your calm well-reasoned comments. It is always a great pleasure to listen to you!!! Thank you, Sir.
Thank you for your kind words!
I've been a biochemist for over 20 years, and it never ceases to amaze me that so many humans think that what we see, study, understand and test is the penultimate to all things in the universe. Consider for a moment that our minds are miniscule in the grand concept of life and the universe and there are so many things that are way above our ability to understand.
The more I learn and study science the more I realize how damn much we're still struggling to understand
I will help you simply. There are 2 realities. The natural, which we see and touch, etc. But there is the super natural…which is usually invisible, unless they , the “beings become visible.” I myself am able to see the supernatural world, as they manifest themselves to me for 45 years…and there are millions of proof, they have and do appear over all of history to millions of people! So my point is…since 2 realities do in fact exist…then this proves that God exists! It’s not rocket science. I and the others who know, see, are touched by ‘them” prove God is the Truth…these other beings are either good or bad angels. If you want more proof…explain how your lips, tongue, and voice box make “sound.” Sound exists, yet it is not visible…but it’s there! Now take that to the next level…God’s invisible qualities prove He is real…how do you argue with all this proof I gave you!
And the argument that we now know is hilarious. Science helps us understand the systems god created. But seriously we cant fully explain light or gravity yet. The closest theory of Einstein's relativity falls apart in the macro, and quantum. Because space in the nacro is expanding faster than light because of gravity which is limited to the speed of light.
But even if we completely figure something out just shows gods creation, not takes over from it.
"Neither mysticism nor the creed of self-sacrifice is compatible with mental health or self-esteem."

When we are born in to incomprehensible complexity, we have no relative perception from which to judge from. Urgency, survival, and the flesh further confound our odds of clarity.
'IN the beginning was the Word and the word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. 3-All things were made through Him, & without Him nothing was made that was made 4-In Him was life & the life was the light of man. 5-and the life shineth in the darkness and the darkness compromised it not....9-That was the true light that gives light to every man that comes into the world. 10-He was in the world & the world was made through Him and the world did not know Him 11-He came to His own and His own did not receive Him 12-but as many that received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those that believe in His name 13-who were born not of blood, nor of the will of flesh or of the will of man, but of God 14-And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us'!
NOW look at Collossians 1:12-18 & Genesis 1 & 2.
NOW:2 Peter 1:
1-'Simon Peter a bond servant & Apostle of Jesus Christ...2-Grace and peace be multiplied to you in a knowledge of Gid and Savior Jesus Christ 3-AS HIS DIVINE POWER HAS GIVEN UNTO US all things that pertain to life and Godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.4-by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature...' to vs21
Then read Job..especially 38 on..there is much we can know of God that He wants us to know..the trouble is: man wants to be as God & go beyond realms to be as Him.
He can be found & known in the simple..that reveals the same as of the depths of our searchings.
I would like to say a Big Thank you to mainstream tv entertainment which drove me to DISPARE to look for something worth my time....... and so I found John Lennox and Pratical Wisdom.
Many thanks, long may you continue in health and Spirit. Greetings from 🇮🇪
Always a pleasure to listen to John Lennox. Throughout the history, Christians have been considered to be "stupid" and "naive". These days there are more and more intellectuals that take God seriously.
Exactly, the conversation is shifting I think, as Justin Brierley points out in his book (mentioned at the conference) and secular thinkers are taking these conversations more seriously.
These days perhaps too few people hear of St. Thomas Aquinas
It's quite possible that people are having some very real experiences with psychedelics that 'changes' them and are comingto Christianity because. There are many testimonys I've heard that sound so very life changing for people who are using it as therapy for addiction and mental health care.
LIFE CHANGING!! and many of the testimonys include the fact that JESUS is there when we leave this life
Just sayin🎉😇
It reminds me of the showdown between pharohs magicians and Aaron
Should I also take Muslims beliefs seriously?
Practical Wisdom has become my favorite resource on UA-cam, not only because of the guests but the questions asked by Dr Marusca and the trouble he goes to summarize and organize his comments. The time stamps re marvelous as I can go back and listen to the area I need, as with a guest like John Lennox that says such deep and penetrating statements that challenge my thinking. Dr Marusca is helpful when he makes follow-up comments and questions that clarify and prompt the guests to clarify. This channel is a treasure and a blessing.
Why is one letting speak so long this copiumed delusional hallucinous gullible human being, John Lennox, who is just preaching such cheating lying sickening obnoxious religious fabrications, fairy-tales and myths? The moderator is like John Lennox too, well just another copiumed delusional hallucinous gullible human being! Educate yourself! Go watch at least MythVision!

John is a brilliant mind. I'm always fascinated by how he defends the Word.
Totally agree, John is such a humble yet very articulate Christian!
Lennox is philosophically weak. Try Richard Swinburne and Alvin Plantinga. Thank me later.
@@anteodedi8937Can you explain how he's weak?
@@anteodedi8937 I agree, Lennox isn't very good at defending his beliefs. Moreover, most Christians aren't very good at defending their beliefs.
@@sally9352 Oh, where to start! He is not even aware of the first-rate atheistic philosophy and atheistic arguments. He is mostly focused on attacking the sort of Richard Dawkins and Hitchens (aka new atheism). After all, he belongs to the same category as them.
His understanding of philosophy of religion or philosophy in general is very poor and he mostly regurgitates CS Lewis.
Not to mention his reduction of Christianity to the level of Grimm fairytales.
Dear John Lennox your account of things is so enlightening and encouraging that I have sent this video via WhatsApp to all my mobile contacts asking them to give it a listen. I pray their eyes and ears, minds are opened for surely their hearts will be overjoyed with what the whole world needs to understand and believe 🙏🙏🙏🙏

The most brilliant thing lennox could do is to concede that there isn't a skerrick of evidence to support the existence of God, and that he believes in God because of the culture he was born into, and because it makes him feel comfortable.
@@edwinblack-rw5xkso you've not even watched the video. Typical hater, happy in their own ignorance.

That is very observant of mr Lennox! I am certain now that most evolutionists will say something similar, tongue in cheek, hopeing no one would call their bluff like mr Lennox has! It is interesting that there is millions being spent right now trying to find life somewhere in space, surely it's out there somewhere, anywhere!!! Lol.

John Lennox, thank you sir. It has been a great pleasure to listen to a Man of God, and science . He has opened so much for me. I am only just getting to know his work. Brilliant man! I am new in my relationship with Christ. I have been a Christian since i was incredibly young when introduced to Christianity. but took steps two years ago to really know, who Christ is, what exactly is Christianity outside of Religion. Amazing adventure so far. Two people Lennox and Hovind have made me realize just how God and science go hand and hand. I don't have to choose between the two...
John does not present any science. Please, go back to school.

Watching from India found the entire programme very edifying lifting me to higher paralence of faith in Christ.Thank you Prof.Lennox and all the team.God bless.
Meaning implies a mind..Awesome..Truth is eternal.
John's response to the guy asking about suffering and dying and how God allows (1:19:46) it is so inspiring. He builds into it for a while and then gives the message of hope (1:25:29) about the woman with cancer and the woman who lost her husband. Truly amazing that response is.
Thank you. I was searching for that part. So important.

Great discussion! Thanks so much! I wish to be there!
Amazing, especially the ending! Thank you!
Totally respectable gentleman! Fabulous points made and open 👐 minded.
This man is brilliant! Agree or disagree these arguments are well thought out. He also LISTENS. How many obvious geniuses listen then answer the actual question. Impressive
He often (intentional or not) answers a different question than the one being asked.
@@ohdehhan are you listening to his entire answer? He definitely digresses but tends to get there. The questions are complicated and require in depth answers. I’m not saying he always hits it but certainly does not “often” miss the question. 9 out of 10 is better than Dawkins or the average professor
Dr Lennox is very experienced, and it shows in the masterful way he chooses what to address directly and what to subsume with a larger point.
The agent vs the function explanation is simply brilliant. My car functions by internal combustion, but my car equally operates because (agency) I need to go to the store. So there is a how and a why which are equally important.
Absolutely agree! And science can only answer the "why" to a certain point. Ask science "why" long enough and it will run out of answers

What lead me to Christianity was that comment, there must be more to life than what i was experiencing. And my life wasn't all that bad.
When the time was right, I was frightened into the kingdom. I was in awe of him.
Have you been in a Doomsday Cult? If not, there's literally *more to life* than what you've experienced. But is that a good reason to join a Doomsday Cult?
For me truth is the focus, so the only good reason to believe an idea is if we have evidence it's true. We don't have that for any gods currently.
He is incredible.
This is a great example of someone starting with a preconceived notion and then finding a few ideas that can be made to fit them.
Your logic is poor: who conceived the preconceived notion? Why? How? When? How do you know? You were there and witnessed it all? How do you know everything you learned? From preconceived teaching.
@@ingoditrust7784 A bizarre comment! Just listen to him and you can hear his backwards logic - in fact, he avoids saying anything that would stand up as a syllogism.
@@StudentDad-mc3pu bizarre? Preconceived refers to a point in time, such as a trial, etc. so if a judge decides on an outcome ahead of due process, such a decision would qualify as preconceived. To return to your own position, if someone believes in God it's preconception. Yet there are historic and scientifically investigated facts which we believers study before making up our minds. There is also written tradition: most of what we accept in our belief system relies on generations and generations of witnesses, credible ones at that. When you on the other hand decide to believe Dickie Dawkie on life coming out of "rock and sand", not only do you accept a preposterous idea, but also a very illogical one: we all know from observation that there is no tendency for stuff to come out of chaos and start evolving towards complex order. Yes, snow crystals do that, but they are not living matter. Everything degenerates in nature, nothing starts organizing spontaneously. Ever. So logic dictates that we look for causality, not far-fetched pseudo-plausibility.
@@vladtheemailer3223 and yet no one has proved God is not real either, and I argue this is a debate that can never be won in either direction. That does not mean we can not live in unison, agreeing to disagree respectfully is the key and needs to be practiced by all parties.
What is, and is not real is all in our head, feelings and personal experiences. No one lives the life we do, so their reality is always going to be different.
@@vladtheemailer3223 You understand that the whole point of politics is to have control and push your viewpoints.
Whether thats to push Christianity in your argument, or Islam, or even Atheism (as a belief system and therefore religion as pointed out in this).
The problem here is the fact the two (beliefe and politics) are intersecting, and being used in a psychological way to try and garner votes. Of course life is never simple and things do overlap, but try to understand what it is you really object to. I think in this case its the imposing of politicians rather than the subject, I am sure you can think if other things they are pushing you are also not happy with. Don't be misdirected by them, that's how all con artists work 😉
I'm not a flat-earther, but I think one of the main reasons for the idea is a lack of trust in the authorities.. governments, universities, media, etc. I now have a deep distrust in all human authorities. Thank you Jesus for your word, which is my anchor.

The ironic part is that he is considered to be one of the most brilliant Christian intellectuals.
No wonder that people are deconverting in droves when these vacuous arguments count as the best that Christianity has to offer.😂
Ah, but is he being bereft of reasoning, or is it in fact "Christian Reasoning" layered on top of "Christian Faith"! ... to give THE IMPRESSION of great reasoning.
With all the resources the scientists have at the moment...it's high time they created life in the lab...to prove once and for all primary abiogenesis. Untill then atheism requires the greatest faith...😂

Fortunately Evolution is already a proven scientific fact.
And almost no one actually tries to create life in a lab the way Abiogenesis requires it to happen.
Also… Abiogenesis is currently the only proposed hypothesis for how life originated with no valid alternatives. And no… made up gods or magic aren’t valid alternatives.😂
