Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Christ is Lord. Especially these guys.
Sorry, dear, your little sadistic fantasies will never come true. 2000+ years of complete lies and failure.
Good!
Even though Einstein was not a conventional theist, it's neat that he discovered so much cosmological evidence that points to his ancient ancestors' mystic beliefs in the creation of time and space being true.
Except that no, he really didn’t. And this comment is especially ironic considering that Craig explicitly denies that Einstein’s theories say anything objective about the nature of physical reality.
@@fanghur Einstein's theories, are just that: theories, which cannot be proven with metaphysical certainty by themselves.
Nonetheless, they threw a wrench into the paradigm of a "steady state" universe which many used to dismiss the idea of a deity.
@@galaxyn3214 only if you are assuming a realist interpretation of them. Which, again, Craig does not. You know the BVG theorem that Craig loves to quote? Yeah, given his stated positions, it is 100% inapplicable. Because it rests upon a number of assumptions which Craig rejects.
Either way, no, Einstein’s work does not implicitly aid Christians. They simply shoehorn their own theological views on top of it.
@@fanghur How do you think it is inapplicable given Craig's other assumptions?
Jesus lives! ♥️ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑
the greater mind poses as Gods, Jesus, it gives us stories, I was trained by God and was shown the ropes on how this operation works
The Hebrew of Gen 1:1 has long since been recognized as being better translated as "In the beginning, when God began to create the heavens and the earth, the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
Meaning that the formless earth and waters of the deep were already there before God does anything. That is, primordial elemental chaos precedes creation.
Also, I'm pretty sure the sun and stars are a lot older than plants. What did the plants photosynthesize before the sun existed?
I could be wrong, but I think it's a better translation to just omit the "in the beginning" altogether, as it is replaced by "began".
"When God began to create the heavens and the earth..."
I believe that God created ex nihilo (see John 1:1) by the Big Bang, and the creation (formation) of Earth starts at verse 9 of Genesis 1. Verses 3-8 describe the creation (again: formation) of the heavens ("outer space" and the "sky").
Buf if "the earth was without form", how could God "begin to create .. the earth". Translation doesn't make any sense.
@@semosancus5506 The word translated "to create" more generally means "to shape, fashion". Like a potter fashioning a pot from a formless lump of clay, God shapes and fashions the natural order from primordial chaos.
@@11kravitzn Exactly!
Obviously they photosynthesized light created on day 1.
The fact that 1:1 consists of 7 words of 28(4x7) letters etc suggests it's an absolute beginning as does john 1:1
Some good points from Dr Craig as one would expect. However, creatio ex nihilo and the text "everything God does is perfect" rules out evolution and it seems astonishing Dr Craig doesn't get this. How can we have an omnipotent omniscient omnibenevolent Creator creating a world of predation disease torment decay ex nihilo? Who would trust such a god and how does Dr Craig's position not stand condemned by the same criticisms he makes of Calvinism?
well not quite, it's more complicated than that. Specifically, we don't know what happened at the big bang, or before the big bang. There could very well have been something there when the big bang happened. We don't know.
and also obviously the big bang does not prove the biblical narrative of creation events :P
You misunderstand the video. First the case is made as to what the scripture themselves imply regarding a created beginning from nothing. Regardless if you believe it or not. Second, you misunderstand that nature of knowledge. We can't "prove" anything with absolute certainty any more than you can prove with absolute certainty you exist. So it all boils down to what we think we know and are we justified in believing it. With that understanding, Christians are justified in believing in God based on the evidence from arguments such as the Cosmological arguement and the scientific evidence that supports the premises, as well as the moral arguement, and the fine tuning arguement. The theist position is much more justified than the atheist position. And if we are justified believing the universe was created, finally tuned for life, and contains moral beings with objective moral values and duties, then we are well on our way to consider the rest of the biblical creation narrative.
It certainly doesn't prove anything but you don't find it odd that thousands of years ago somebody wrote "And in the beginning was the Word ..." essentially describing the process that we are now learning about? Big coincidence?
Great point! @@semosancus5506
Bible genesis first chapter contains so many scientific mistakes. Look Zakir naik debate with William Campbell on Quran and the Bible in the light of science. Hope christian people benefits from this debate because muslims already benefited alot from this debate.
Do you really see Zakir Naik as a good debater?
I think the Qu’ran has plenty of errors of all kinds. However, I think, even more so, that Allah is not God. I think the Christian message is much greater than Islamic Soteriology and that Allah cannot even qualify as God.
you. I want the give you a simplified and less technical explanation of the Christian message while also giving reasons for why I believe Allah cannot be God.
So, you could ignore me, but I REALLY hope you don’t. I want you to know that I care about you and I want you to know the truth. You seem like an intelligent person, so, while what I’m about to tell you may not change your mind, I hope you seriously ponder it and consider it’s rationality:
To put it simply:
1.) God is perfect and set laws for us to follow.
2.) We have broken those laws and must offer a perfect sacrifice/payment (because God and His laws are perfect) in order for Justice to be served.
3.) Humans broke the law, so humans must pay.
4.) We are sinful and we cannot become a perfect sacrifice.
5.) God is perfect, but He cannot pay because He is not a human.
6.) God is perfect and just, so He can not just forgive people without any justice (any god who claims to be perfect, but is unjust by simply forgiving people is not God at all. this “God” would not fit the definition of God: a maximally great being.)
7.) God is loving and does not want us to be punished.
8.) Therefore, because God is all powerful, He became truly human, but He remained truly God at the same time.
9.) God needed to be truly human (in order to pay) and truly God (in order to be sinless.)
10.) That’s who Jesus is. He lived the life of a human but without the sin (even the Qu’ran and Hadith affirms this (Surah Maryam 19 and Sahih al-Bukhari 3286).
His flesh died on the cross. And, in doing so, fulfilled perfect justice, grace, love, mercy, and wrath (demonstrating His omnibenevolence).
Then, Jesus rose from the dead in order to show His power over death because He is truly God.
Allah cannot demonstrate his omnibenevolence; rather Allah shows his cruelty by causing Jesus to merely “appear” like He died (Surah An-Nisa 157-159). In doing so, Allah creates the biggest false religion in history and deceived billions of people, which he will send to Jahannam.
No other religious deity can ever demonstrate such omnibenevolence. And, because no other deity can, no other deity fits the definition of God: a maximally great being.
Here is a syllogism:
If God is defined as a maximally great being, which would include omnibenevolence, then, if Allah isn’t omnibenevolent, Allah can’t be God.
God is defined as a maximally great being.
Allah is not omnibenovelent.
Therefore, Allah cannot be God.
Please, bro, turn to Jesus 🙏🏽. He is THE way, THE truth, and THE life. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved. It is through Christ ALONE that we are saved.
I hope you seriously think about what I have written ❤.
I have seen Zakir Naiks speeches. He misleads his audiences by misrepresenting the Bible. Either he has a huge misunderstanding of the By, or he purposely misrepresents it. Either way, people are foolish to trust him.
@@Theos_thinker So, God sacrificed himself to himself to overcome rules that he made! You think that makes sense?
@@horridhenry9920 Not to overcome rules that He made, but rather to fulfill Justice, which He IS (doctrine of Simplicity).
@@Theos_thinker He made the rules. If he cannot change them how is he omnipotent. If you give entities made up characteristics at least make them logically coherent.
