John Lennox has a very special place in my heart. Have a glorious birthday, Dr. Lennox!
I could not agree more!
@@chrispsypher2824 me too....just love the guy....to the point where i wish he would slim down so he can be around as long as possible...please pray!
@@jeffclark2675 the joy of the Lord illuminates through his smile! by God’s grace he’ll live a full and long life.
Same, he is the one that brought me back to Christ few years ago
Same here Brother. His lecture at my university was starting point of opening of my eyes and now conversion
The wonderful thing about programs like this is that they PRESERVE the wisdom of these articulate geniuses for all time.
As long as someone keeps them archived. I wouldn't trust that they would be available for all time, simply from them being posted on a particular website.
"articulate geniuses" Really?
During the early stage of this discussion, Dr Tour seems just as, if not more, intrigued and thrilled as any of the other students who are listening to Dr Craig and Dr Lennox express their views on philosophy and science. He looks like a young child in a sweet shop, overjoyed with the intelligent discourse.
He understands WHO they are. He is an equal great in a different field. All brilliant. Only silly atheists are upset by these men. The atheists KNOW they can't beat them with their brains.
Indeed, you could tell it really was an honor for him that Drs. Craig and Lennox would join and engage in such an evening together with him. I enjoyed the way it was filmed, it's like we were sitting out there with them, listening to what was said (save I had spaghetti instead of the steak they looked to been having LOL).
Dr. Tour is absolutely brilliant!
I love seeing bro Lennox capture the moment using his phone. So cute! Keep it ups bros! ❤️🙏🇵🇭
I thought your comment said: like child in a sweat shop, for a second. 😂 In America we say Kid in a Candy Shop.
Happy 80th Birthday John Lennox! Thank you for standing up for Jesus!!✝ God Bless You!!!🕊 Great party with James Tour, William Graig and the rest of us 72K+ viewers and 108K+ subscribers😃
From Australia, I’ve seen these wonderful men for years so faithfully defend the faith, and I’m always so encouraged by the humble way they do it.
maybe..but it is becoming more difficult to defend religious folklore in the light of modern scientific discoveries and knowledge..these guys are about 200 years too late
@@johnpro2847 give me just one example where science has come into conflict with biblical faith. Just one! Go ahead, give it your best shot!!!!
James Tour literally calls other scientists as scammers and their research as garbage LMAO 🤣
always interesting to see that the christian defenders are not rude or arrogant or patronising unlike their opponents who are arrogant (dawkins) loud (Krauss)
@@justaway6901 its true
Three absolute legends. It’s like the Mount Rushmore of great Christian thinkers.
@@LGpi314 It’s unfortunate you find it necessary to insult three men with a towering intellect. Regardless of whether you agree with their philosophical, religious or scientific positions, I’d encourage you to show them the respect they deserve. If you disagree, instead of ad hominem attacks, state your objections so we can have a fruitful conversation.
@@LGpi314 Based on your last few posts, it seems you are not overly familiar with the philosophical and scientific offerings put forth by these men. I hope you are open to learning as it may provide insights that are helpful.
If you’d like to share the areas of disagreement, I’d be happy to interact with you. If not, I suggest we part ways and wish you the best.
I agree with john and bill that we need more philosophical literacy in the west.
they seem to be strawmaning the discipline rather a bit though.
virtually all philosophical enquiry (other than theology) points away from there being an interventionist creator of the universe.
@@Letstalktheology1 well hold on!..........You guys are allowed to talk UP these three, but others are not allowed to talk them down?? Where is the balance in that?
"deserving respect" is purely subjective. Many people think they do not deserve respect.
@@forrest7050 this men here have done nothing wrong to be talk doen on🙏✝️
John Lennox’s stories about the two female atheists he debated with brought me to tears. What beautiful experiences and beautiful examples of true Christian behavior. I hope to have this much love gushing from my heart someday.
What? Did you fall for that? Thats a typical "lennoxism". If you saw a video of that event you would be so positive of his version of what really happened...
Lennox lies a lot.
Yes 3 of you are cherished here in Nigeria, Africa
As a Nigerian migrant ‘come citizen of the UK it’s encouraging to see a fellow Christian of my kin vested in the blessed work of these gentlemen. May the Lord continue to equip you for every good work back there as I seek to do His will out here.
Hello, Nigeria from Arkansas, USA. 👋
What a fantastic round table, with 3 of some of our best mentors in the gospel. Dr. Lennox, Dr. Tour and Dr. Lang. May all 3 of you be blessed, I am so grateful grateful for the Q&A! May our Lord bless you, keep you, and protect you! Thank you my brothers in Christ, for your lessons and mentorship in our oath to our Lord Jesus Christ!
The brain power with these three is immeasurable. Just missing Stephen Meyer.
Yeah, the sum of their IQ is barely above their combined shoe size.
We try not to use negative numbers.
They aren't stupid..
They prey on the simple and gullible.
@@roscius6204 Good thing you so smart and know all the answers.
I would definitely add Hugh Ross to the mix, as well as Stephen C Meyer. Hugh expounds upon how the heavens declare his glory with the big bang beginning, the expanding universe, the fine tuning argument...
May CreatorGod continue to bless all of you Dr. James, Dr. William, Dr. John and your team of believers in your mission to bring Christ to bless the world. Thank you all very very much!
What an honor it would be to be able to sit under these men in one place - thankfully, the internet makes talks like these that we would normally never get to listen in on possible to be heard - thanks, Dr. Tour.
I love that Dr. Lennox always asks Dr. Craig a question while Dr. Craig is chewing 🤣😂
Lol😂
I love having these profound men of faith who are also in academia speak. I’m always delighted.
They are clueless idiots
Beautiful. Beautiful. There we have our modern version of what it was like in Daniel's day, to live around us the three who were not only wise, excelling in Babylonian sciences and history, but whose faith indeed quenched the fire.
There are our own Christian Hananiah, Mishael, v'Azariah. Thank you James, John & William for your dedicated service and testimony to the Messiah Jesus's name. Blessed be the Lord who has blessed all of you with wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Be blessed and multiplied by the Lord in everything.
Amen, great comparison with great comment ❤
It is also great to include Michael Behe in this great team. I encourage everyone especially of those who are not yet aware of what Behe has done tremendously maybe for a.Christian seeking to defend his/her position/belief. It is like Behe to Biology and Tour in Chemiatry.
@@Epagael Behe is totally oblivious of both the field of medicine and biology, which he both denies. Tour is a scam.
You are usng the babylon star on your profile picture my friend
What a great lineup of brilliant Christian minds! Thanks for all you guys do for fighting for truth and the Kingdom of God! It's a task that we all do together as one body to oppose the lies of the Kingdom of Darkness and to bring glory to the one who it belongs to, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Oooh the humility of these men…..truly truly humbling to witness!!!
Thank you gentlemen.
Jesus Christ has redeemed me! ❤
Thank you for sharing this Dr. Tour! And your gift of facilitating these kinds of gatherings for our modern philosophers and theologians.
These are much needed and edifying talks!
The Lord be with you all!
So excited! Thank you Lord for equipping these believers to help the body of Christ become more firmly established in you.
So sorry about your condition, LG.

Regarding your earlier question about Jesus being named outside of scripture, I can give you four separate sources from antiquity by name along with the quotations they provided.
Another incredible conversation with Dr. Lennox, Dr. Craig and Dr. Tour. I enjoyed every single minute of it. Thank you ever so much for sharing these videos. All Glory and All Praise BE to GOD!
Where there are two or more gathered in My Name I am there in the midst. Happy Birthday Dr. John Lennox. Your courage, and how flawless you are, inspires me more than you know. And to Mr. Will lane Craig, how your wit is, I love it. God bless you both
I doubt Yeshua would want to be seen dead in the company of these jokers. Did he keep the company of charlatans when he was alive?
@@myopenmind527 what is wrong with you? Who are you mad at?
@@jelly7310 if I’m mad at anyone it would be people who lie to nonscientists about science solely to protect their irrational religious beliefs.
@@myopenmind527 Somebody hates himself, and it's sad to see people in this state
This was such a blessing to me. Thank you guys so much!
I love these men. So brilliant and yet true followers of Christ.
I guess the rest of the followers of Christ are ignorant morons.
I’m so glad this channel has past 100k, I hope it reaches millions of people. Keep up the amazing work Dr James Tour!
I thank God he wrote in my heart the resurrection truth....I believe in the resurrection of Christ ! Thank you James for letting me know why I believe it with all my heart
I just came across this presentation by these three brilliant, intelligent defenders of the Christian faith! What an honor to be able to listen in and learn from them. Such a gift!
thank you for doing this. It is so encouraging, in a world of what seems like endless discouragement, to hear from men who value God and His creation. Well done and thanks again.
Love to see young people in Christ Jesus !!
We should always be listening to each other, no matter the differences !!
Pls bring other apologists too. We enjoyed this. Love from India
Thank u brothers for taking time to share your collective wisdom ❤
Ohh How i wanted to be in this "dinner". What and honor would it be. Thank u for all your studies and all of your videos. Thx for blessing us with so much! God bless you all!
Social media is like a sharp knife. The example of the cake and the Holy Spirit! Oh goodness!Only Lennox can come up with gems like that. How blessed I am to have this session for free.
Amen, giants as Dr. Tour has said! Stephen Meyer is indeed missed! Happy Birthday John Lennox and the passion William Lang Craig, superb! God's continued blessings over these wonderful Godly, men and their families. 🙏🥰❤️✝️😇
@@motherof3pearls I was thinking the same about Stephen Meyer🙏🏿😊
Jesus has his soldiers 😊 and we are grateful
What a wonderful talk in such a relaxed environment. And nice to hear some of the personal notes that you do not normally hear. I really enjoyed it and I admire all three. God bless you all three.
These brothers in Christ are beloved! God bless
God bless each and everyone of you!
I cried that’s all I’m saying
You’ve changed me
Thank you Lord for bringing your minds together.
Just 2 for me - Lennox and Tour are interesting and inspirational !
Bless you beautiful men of God. You men inspire me to love God more. ❤
Keep up the Great Work, all three of You!
Stay Strong, and God bless!
What a lineup, the best of the best of them all! The door is wide open on this one.
From an artist point of view the 3 reflect The Light like 3 jewels, one an emerald, one a ruby, one a sapphire, as all are unique and equal in worth, but expressing different aspects of God’s truth in different hues. 10:04
Thank you for such a nice presentation. Excellant giants who have stood the test of time and done a great work in what they are doing.
Really nice. Great to see this. Happy birthday Sir John Lennox, a person was really bad to me on twitter on my response. I just liked that and left. After few days I explained the reason for the position, the same individual liked the response. Thank you for the principle.
I never used this much. To use our differences to an advantage to win friendship, just by respecting and honouring the people we walk across. Thank you Dr Tour and Sir Craig. Really nice. And all others including those serving it's so orderly.
First time saw a talk with food. It's like good family time. Dr Lennox has noble laureates as his peer group. Really fun to watch. Thank you for all those who planned and worked. Including the BGEA team person in media. God bless.
Yessss!!! Exciting. Thank you all.
Wow! I would love to be at that table to just listen & ask questions. This is wonderful. Thank all of you! With the love of Jesus Christ!
Happy birthday, Prof. John Lennox !!!
I pray God to keep you with us for many years to come, so we may benefit from your great love to God and humanity!
I love this channel!!! God bless you wise, Godly men!!! Praise God from Santa Monica, CA 😁❤️✝️✝️🇺🇸❤️
1:09:00 to 1:10:00 😂 got me laughing!
Thank you Dr Tour, Dr Craig and Dr Lennox - all are legends and listening to you just helps me with my faith! Your passion and love for the Lord Jesus Christ is commendable beyond words! Thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart 😍🥰❤
Great interview. Some really important comments here - really encouraging. My feeling has often been that churches have had the objective of getting people 'in' (ie. bums on seats).. instead of equipping people to share the gospel in their workplaces and other communities (so that the gospel goes 'out'). That requires some equipping - a relational skill-set and God showing us some things about how we can interact with people - really caring about them. Elder brother John makes the incredibly important point, that when we are debating an opponent we are there to love them also. If the person is rude, people in the audience aren't stupid. Our character's are evident. People consider both the argument (content) and the attitude (which shows our heart). With the DEI requirements in workplaces is risking making the workplace exclusive to Bible believing Christians. And the philosophy programs people to see Christians as uncaring and bigoted against people. So, that will require some major investment in helping people in those environments. Grace and peace.
such a wonderful meeting and discussion of minds. Happy Birthday Dr. Lennox
@@Rudacon how does one start with personal faith when you've got nothing unless one has a creator? Not time distance or matter.
I am so glad I found them in UA-cam. I love them so much. So blessed by their faith❤
God Bless you for posting this wonderful conversation! I’m beyond grateful for finding this video and channel.
It is a wonderful blessing to watch these 3 men speaking together.
The fact is that some kind of much higher power created everything with intention and proves it through creation.
I really admire and love Dr John Lennox - his very existence is another piece of evidence from the Good Lord that He Is There 🙏🏽😁💞👼🏽 delightful discourse and appreciate Drs Craig and Tour very much too 😊
Someone mentioned in their comment below that it's Dr Lennox's birthday today? Happy Birthday Dr Lennox 😁💞 I pray that our Lord Jesus continues to be with you and look after you always 🤗🙏🏽👼🏽💞
John is such a kind hearted person it really is a joy to listen to his thought process, this is truly a blessing to have three incredible intellectuals sharing ideas, thank you for putting this together
Thank you so much for sharing this video 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
What a gift, listening to you. So grateful for this positive and true perspective. You are giving normal people what they need to go forward to reading and understanding scriptures. Scriptures changes life and can be frightening at the beginning. but only at the beginning.
I had no idea James was colorblind.
Thank you, gentlemen!
I don't believe it was complete color blind but rather difficulty in distinguish slight color differences especially in a chemical reactions where noting a slight color change during a chemical reaction is very important. Its interesting that his disability motivates him a process or an instrument of detecting color changes in a chemical reaction.
Greenie! 👋 👍

This gathering is amazing!! So much knowledge and brilliance♥️♥️♥️!
Thank you for being the Shepherds that y’all are. Much luv and many blessings
So much -knowledge and brilliance- *brainwash* . Spellchecked for ya. You are welcome.
Thank you for Sharing James ♥ Love your chemistry tutorials wish you would find time and space to teach basics of chemistry to people who just want to start learning chemistry, something simple.
Thank you. It is wonderful to walk with the Lord, at work, in the community and in persecution.
A truly wonderful grouping of faithful Christians.
@@LGpi314When Bertrand Russell speaks of faith, he is talking about blind faith. When Christians speak of faith, they speak of evidential faith. So Bertrand Russell is completely wrong here because he misunderstood what Christians mean by faith.
@@LGpi314 "Definition of faith "strong belief..."
You should stop cherry picking definitions from pro-humanist dictionaries. And instead you should read and understand the biblical definition of faith from the Bible.
@@LGpi314 "You are funny. LMAO. What evidence? Christian's faith is the same as any other religion's faith. Just blind."
Being ignorant is your biggest strength, my friend. Again I say, instead of being ignorant, you should read and understand what faith means in the Bible.
@@LGpi314 "I do not pretend..."
Ah, yes. Bring in another irrelevant and ignorant quote from Bertrand to make yourself appear smart. You are just spouting rhetoric.
@@sabhishek9289No. Religious faith *IS* blind. "Evidential faith" is an oxymoron. If you have actual evidence that something exists, you do not have to have faith. I do not have to rely upon belief to know that the chair that I am sitting on exists. The supernatural only exists in the faith of the believers.
Thanks again James, your show and message is so encouraging .God bless you 🙏
Thank you Lord for bringing together these brilliant Christian minds. I would have loved to see also Dr. Jordan Peterson doing his contribution to these important subjects. I hope to see a follow up of this discussion. God bless you all.
This meeting, recorded, is really a royal gift! Thank You!
Happy 80th birthday Dr Lennox..more anointing and strength in years to come in Jesus name🙏
Magnificent. Food and wine for our spirits and souls. More if these discourses please.
Thank You! Three of my most uplifting mentors.🙏
Just by looking these gentlemen , I feels peace...God bless all of you
evil has bestowed its anger into the world like the fire of the Babylonian furnace... but GOD spring forth not few but many good men to spring out to tall about HIS truth... thank you GOD for your precious LOVE.
Well done to these three great minds. There is really a time that the righteous need to stand up against evil. Truth need to speak out against lies. Correct actions need to be done against fallacy. All glory always to God, amen!
Thank you so much for providing this video. Your intellectual reconciliation of the New Testament with our modern controversies are a healing for the soul.
I would be in tears all day, to have the opportunity to break bread with such great men. This is fantastic man.
Such a real, down to earth, video. Thank you so much for sharing!
I keep teaching evangelism for 23 years. So when he said people in 20 accept the eternal life is like he took it from my mouth because that is exactly what I always say.
You can meet someone you never seen and 20 minutes later that person could be crying of happines after hearing the gospel. God is truly amazing.
Sad to hear. 23 years of lying to your congregation. Is it because of stupidity or money? Asking for a friend.
It always baffles me that a powerful god needs nitwits like preachers to 'teach' his message.
@@lizadowning4389 That is evidence that the god in question isn't real. A real god would be able to call everyone on the globe. The different gods of the big religions must have forgotten the phone book. Perhaps they have dyscalculia.
@@LGpi314 Even if such a god would exist, I still don't see the reason to worship it.
I also don't see the logic why such an entity would require us to worship him.
That said, the god that is claimed by religious men (benevolent and powerful) is clearly uninterested in all things living (divine hiddenness), therefore no (as such defined) god can exist.
You can, and should, evaluate someone based on its actions but also on its inactions.
Three of my favorite Professors!!
This World is SO BLESSED to have these Great Christian Humans that have tremendous knowledge of so many subjects. 🙏☦️. Dr. Tour your genius in the science and Christian religion and love of Yeshua is the reason humanity better wake up and take notes as many prophecies are currently coming true. Psalms 83 and Ezekiel 36-38 ..
You guys are magnificent 😊 I’d love to be a guest at any table where you are! Have studied the Bible and areas around religion and evolution for 35 years and it never gets boring. Thank you for keeping it up ❤😊❤😊 Tim
What a treat! So much knowledge and faith in Jesus Christ
thank you for strengthening my faith !!
😮 wooow! This will be awesome
Wow!! That is such a great way to talk and visit! Around a dinner table!! I love listening to this! We need more of interaction like this UA-cam!! So informal and relaxing!
Just to see these three giants of mind speaking together is a great pleasure for my eyes, no matter which theme!
Hardly Giants. Not one of the is taken seriously in academia. I doubt most religious scholars even know who they are. Most scalar think apologetics as practiced by these three is a joke.
@gerardmoloney433 Even if one would read the bible with an open mind (whatever that may be), he'd still be reading a text written by mostly unknown ancient authors of which we have no clue they wrote down their superstitious beliefs or whether they gave a factual account of events.
What do you mean with 'open mind'? To presuppose the existence of the 'divine hiddenness'? That they weren't biased and were writing with the intent of proselytising and promoting their specific mystery cult?
@gerardmoloney433 "You go to a lot of effort to show your ignorance. " - assertion without evidence.
" I think you have made it very clear, so take a break and try to educate yourself by reading the Bible with an open mind and heart." - What does that even mean? The bible is clearly a book of bronze age myths.
"Stop deceiving yourself, your comments are an embarrassment." - Projecting. Stop deceiving yourself, your comment is embarrassing.
@myopenmind527 they are well known by scholars whether atheist or believers.. but some ppl like you are not well read . so can understand why your ignorance goes before you..
@@joanneg7646 "they are well known by scholars whether atheist or believers." - A lie. Not WLC. No philosopher have heard of him, unless they are into theological debates. To some degree JT and JL. But they are not taken seriously.
"but some ppl like you are not well read ." - Projection.
"so can understand why your ignorance goes before you.." - Projection.
Happy 80th Birthday Dr. Lenox. This was a wonderful conversation/ Q&A. Thanks to everyone involved. God bless 🙏
The same college students who are being taught that objective truth doesn't exist are the first ones lined up at the door to tell the Dean that a professor has objectively offended them.
But that is irrelevant, you can be offended by something, even if objective morality doesn't exist.
Come on now we don’t need to exaggerate. Where are students claiming that they have been objectively offended? Offense is by its very nature a subjective experience.
and where are college students being taught that objective truth doesn’t exist? Objectivity and truth are not Christian words, they’re philosophical terms that aren’t suddenly being abandoned in acadamia.
@@whelperw the state of offense is an indicator of objective morality
not to say that morals will be objectively recognized cause the kin are all different and I kinda think there are more kinds of kin than there are people on this planet right now so there's that as well
@@morganpauls1873 you talk like a vampire from World of Darkness.

Can’t wait!
I LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS WHOLE VIDEO! Wish I was there and that it went on for even longer!
What a great gift of grace these 3 are to the global body!
There's obviously a great deal of conjecture about how life came about on Earth. I wouldn't rule out a God as it's an unfalsifiable proposition and regardless of how much scientists discover about the natural World, there could still be a God behind it all. What I do find astonishing however is that any thinking person can examine the World around them and conclude that a God with the proposed attributes of the Christian God is responsible for it.
No.
So glad I’ve lived on their times.
"Trust God and use our talent rather than trust our talent and use God." Great insight from John 😊
That was an absolute feast! Thank you!
20:25 - 21:55 Sounds like a recipe for how to rejoice in the Lord.
