we killed the kennedys cause we made them royalty
The Bible is overrated.
The King James version is the only real version according to people who have studied the original transcripts. Catholic is not Christian I would assume that is your background. That is a works religion. We are saved by grace through faith not by works lest any man should boast. Dr. Ruckman videos would help you.
How old is this clip? How many years ago did this happen? Thumbs down for tardiness.
Hitchens didn't take offense at people making fun of Bush, he refused to kowtow to Maher's biased audience.
The only way to know that scripture is true is by the ministry of the Holy Spirit. If we try to prove scripture by human reason we fail which is why seminaries staffs are full of intellectual unbelievers. Human reason is finite. The truth of scripture is incomprehensible by simple human intelligence apart from the ministry of the Holy Spirit.;
Read “The Master and Margarita” by Bulgakov
I view all Enlightenment based governments as satanic. The idea that human reason can solve all the world's problems violates God's first rule to humanity. "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart and do not trust your own intelligence." Proverbs 3:5. We are faulty and until we acknowledge it we are lost. Human intelligence is the root of all the world's problems.
Nonsense . So you’d rather live in bcs where logic is punished huh. That says a lot about you.
Just when I think Christians can't get any dumber....
Ridiculous ideas by definition should be ridiculed.
You completely mischaracterized what Dawkins and Wise said. Dawkins’ point was that Wise had said “… if ALL the evidence in the universe pointed to an old earth” he would still follow the scripture, and you changed that to ... he would “be more patient to see if all the scientific evidence could support a young earth”. That misses in entirety what was said by both people. His point was to show that Wise takes an extreme view and will follow what the scripture says even if every single piece of evidence "IN THE UNIVERSE" shows it to be wrong. You can't critique someone by mischaracterizing what they say. Dawkins is not 'calling him names', he's pointing out what is arguably one of the most illogical and dangerous of all ideas, to simply ignore all the evidence because it's what you want to do.
So his "Big Fact" actually makes more sense with creation - it makes sense to re-use the building blocks of life everywhere. His biggest idiot is also himself as he has previously stated that if God appeared tomorrow in the Sky or whatever, he is so certain of his evolution that he would think it a trick. Dawkins main failing is not understanding basic maths: Dawkins is saying we've got an "astronomically long amount of time" for chance to create and adapt life. But "astronomically" large numbers are way too small: To pick just 14 numbered balls out of 28 takes 3.5 X 10^18 tries. The universe is only 4.35 X 10^17 seconds old !
😆🤣😂😄
At the end you seemed to mix evolution with abiogenesis Evolution speaks zero about how life started on Earth. Evolution is after life has begun. Mixing the two shows ignorance of both
There is no useful dialogue with a young earth creationist Its the same as talking to a Flat Earther or the clouds You aren't talking to someone/something with a functioning logical brain
Tried giving you a fair shake. Just isn't possible without forsaking logic and science. Creationism is simply wrong. It's make believe stories made up by men and not some omnipotent god. Damn KellyAnn Conway for introducing the concept of "alternative facts"! Just not a real thing. Peace.
If you truly think about theology you'll know it's no more than myths and fables with added lies. Also where was the philosophy? And how did you manage to get what Dawkins said so wrong 😂 Are you creationist because you clearly didn't listen, you make claims you don't back and don't understand science 😂
@jameswright You didn't watch the video closely because your assessment is way off. And what is your conception of philosophy if you didn't understand what I was saying? It wasn't hard to understand what Dawkins was saying, as he speaks clearly when he speaks. My guess is you are triggered by the mere concept of theology, whether someone is in favor of it or against. I am neutral because I couldn't care less what someone else believes, and perhaps you are bothered by that more than you realize. And I am not a creationist as you say, because in common vernacular that implies a belief in biblical texts, which is not my rationale for considering that the matter we see in the universe had an origin, and that origin is what we loosely refer to as a creator. Matter may have always existed, in which case there wouldn't have been a creator, but as humans that is generally not how we conceptualize anything that exists. There are things we don't know, and I am comfortable not knowing. That, my friend, is philosophical. You missed it.
@thinkingtheology That's better 😂 Nonsense waffle that goes nowhere, philosophy at it's best 😂😂 None of which was in the video just misrepresenting and misunderstanding hence my Creationist thing not once 😂😂😂 You didn't watch reply is standard Creationist tactics to😂😂😂😂😂 We don't use creation to describe origins in science or philosophy, that is a religious nonsense. Nothing was created, things are emergent and evolved my fellow ape.
I hate that we're still talking about creationist delusions in 2024.
Why should we be considerate of other people's views? Some people have terrible views that should not be respected at all..
No, no... do not try to confuse the issues. You say that millions of people around the world believe in god in some form. Then please say: If there is a real god somewhere, why are there those variations? Why there is no uniformity forced on mankind by god? Why give a chance to the beliefs of old Sumerians, then Egyptians and finally Israelis that linked stories about the so-called one god miracle creation? Here, there is no need to sit on both sides of the fence.
When you look at genesis it is all magic and we know magic is an illusion. Best advice, follow the evidence.
A couple more things. Dawkins is not against teaching religion he's for comparative religious studies and thinks you can't understand literature unless you have read the bible. But he doesn't want it taught in science classes. Trouble with mixing science and religion is if your religion is dogmatic about some aspect that nature shows is not so then you have a conflict. Dawkins only ever got involved in religious stuff because evolution teaching was under threat. And it was a geologist he was referring to not a biologist. As a geologist they literally have to use dating to find oil supplies etc. you can't do the job without using the fossil record and rock dating. So he was particularly aggrieved not because the guy was religious but because he believed in a young earth while working in a field in which this belief would literally stop him doing the job.
You don't understand the hierarchical nature of phylogenetic trees, so why are you trying to argue that other people who throw out the evidence are making a "reasonable argument"? They're not, and your refusal to acknowledge that is a far bigger problem than someone you find annoying.
Concerning respect for beliefs, I'm with H.L. Mencken : "We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." You don't have your facts straight. It's not forbidden to talk about any god in a public school. But forcing people to pray is not just talking about deities. Would you be fine with your kids to be forced to have to face Mecca while praying to Allah? You sound that you wouldn't have an issue to pray to Christ. For your info, I'm not American and even **I** know that the mentions of God on your money and in the pledge didn't use to be there. Besides, you know of any other country that has it's kids pledge allegiance and a regular basis? I can only think of one, back in Europe before 1940 and they even did something similiar to the Bellamy salute.
You would never change a creationists mind if they are prepared to believe a creation story in the Bible which cannot be verified but not believe scientific research like evolution and the age of the earth which looks at evidence by researching fossils, animals, rocks ,and various other methods. How can you examine a god creating in 6 days . The answer is you can't.
genes are a tricky example by Dawkins because chromosome level doesn't support the same argument
Chromosomes can fuse, this is what happened with our common ancestor with chimps. So no not that tricky chromosomes and be duplicated, they can diminish but the genes that an organism needs to survive MUST be there. We all share a number of common genes with all life and tracing the changes supports evolution.
Yes it does. What are you talking about?!?
@@RaveyDavey Well not sure you know what you are talking about. I may have misinterpreted your statement. Let me be clear what I am saying then you can disagree and I'll be happy to be corrected. Chromosomes are groups of genes bundled into long strands that when cells divide twist into chromosomes. So they contain genes in that chromosome in an order. Different chromosomes have different sets of genes. So from what you said Dawkins argument does not hold for chromosomes (even though it holds for genes - which it does). I was thus assuming you were suggesting because not all species have the same number of chromosomes that what Dawkins is saying doesn't hold up. Now if I'm with you thus far. I have said that doesn't matter as organisms can have duplication of chromosomes, you can get chromosomes merging in hybrid events like the two grasses that hybridized to create wheat. Chromosomes can become split and chromosomes can become fused. I gave the Chimp - human comparisons because it was one used by creationists when I was 15 reading about this I'm now in my 50's long before the DNA was able to be read with high fidelity. Evolutionary scientists then suggested the different number of chromosomes was likely evidence of a fusion event. We have now uncovered that fusion event in the genome with telomeres intact at the fusion site. So not a problem. But if I have misunderstood your criticism please elaborate, I'm happy to be proven wrong.
It is not as simple as you think. You getbone paar of Chromosomes from your fazher, one from your mother, but when they Fußes something remarkable happens. After the Fusion each of your Chromosomes contain Genes from your mother and your father. Some Genes have switched places.
@ksbrst2010 yes I do understand we get chromosomes from both parents but we are tracking genes that all members of our species hold. So an example might be the difference in the gene for hemoglobin production which will be the same in all humans, similar in primates, less similar than in primates vs say fish. Now we have a pair of each gene from both parents, that's true but it's two copies of each gene. Sometimes there can be different versions of the gene say brown eyes or blue eyes but all human variants of these genes will have differences to all eye colour variants in say birds and humans so we can track these differences as I stated.
I think very much like you, I'm also neither Christian nor Jew. I dismissed Christianity as a teen, it is a man made religion based on a perverted/distorted view of Judaism. The whole concept of a Messiah comes from the teachings of the Hebrew Bible, and it doesn't mention the Messiah being God in the flesh or divine in any way. Nor does it say that the Messiah will be born from a virgin do miracles or forgive sins..... One thing that is admirable about Judaism is that it doesn't condemn those that reject being Jewish (unlike Christians and Muslims). It only says all of mankind should follow the "7 laws of Noah" to be a righteous human being. And there is no teaching of eternity in Hell for those that reject it.
you appear to be a prime example of someone who has an opinion, but no clearly detectable knowledge of the subject in hand, but feel compelled to mock someone who does have a specific knowledge about subject. what prevents you to get some knowledge about the subject you are trying to adress in the first place before you call someone out who does have a certain amount of knowledge. Even the romn catholic church has admitted tht evolution is a fact and the earth billions of years old.
@benstevens3091 You either didn't watch the video or are so prejudiced against the mere concept of someone discussing theology (pro or con), that you are blinded to your own opinions. I didn't "call Dawkins out," as you say, I said many complimentary things about him on this and other videos, and left it to others to decide for themselves. Lighten up.
You definitely didn’t watch the video.
@countryrebels Thank you for chiming in on this one!!
@@thinkingtheology of course i watched the video, otherwise how could i have made the comment referring to something in the video.
@@countyrebels of course i watched the video, otherwise how could i have made the comment referring to something in the video. Apart from that the assertion " definitly" is ludicrous as it would imply that you know what I do and dont. If anything you could write "I think you didnt.." or something similar.
Ben Shapiro is wrong! Genuine Christianity is faith and works.
@Clokes_ The underpinning of the Christian faith is that though doing good "works" is important, those things are optional and not required by a law. Judaism is based on works of the Mosaic law, and according to the Torah such observance is required, and there's a big difference between the two schemas.
@@thinkingtheology You have outlined a protestant schema, not a Christian one.
For a smart guy, his understanding of Christianity is atrocious.
Jesus emphasized that we obey His commands in Jn 3:36. Also, "Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. So Christianity in it's fullest form is Catholicism. which is also the fulfillment of Judaism. is also a works-based religion as well. Ben does not know Catholicism otherwise he'd be Catholic.
.. So.. Who made God? The real question is why is there something rather than nothing, and how did complexity arise. Both of these questions are well answered in science and philosophy
Religion is mythology!
It is completely possible to built entire religion based on human potential to absolute peace. For example for buddhism and taoism the possobility of enlightenment is far more important.
Dawkins is trying to argue man is not born in sin? Easy to prove him wrong. Atheists, aka natural man, or in olden times, faithless man just loves himself. Selfishness, which Jesus demands we die to, is IN ALL OF US. Everyone wants to taste good food, sleep in comfortable beds preferably with attractive mates, have lots of lavish care givers... This greed and ALL MEN AND WOMEN HAVE IT. Some may still want to help others due to society and their make up, but when they see others being selfish and not helping, mankind tends to get very upset at this injustice... It becomes a race to the bottom of selfishness and hate when people see others as selfish, greedy and not helping others. #1 Natural man is selfish #2 Selfishness results in hate. #3 Hate results in wars. Dawkins at least wasn't using logical fallacies and dirty tricks, but yeah, Dawkins is a huckster out to get $$$. Atheists are easier to fool than Christians.
James is forgotten. Your faith should RESULT in actions. The actions do not get you to heaven, Romans 10:9 is my life verse. If you confess Jesus as your Lord you are obliged to act as He said to act. It is not about salvation it is all about gratitude. Paul talks about building your life with gold, silver, wood, hay, and stubble. If you build with the last three you will be saved but have nothing to show for it but you. Not to mention that would not show love for your brothers and sisters. Jews do good out of fear. Christians do good out of gratitude for the gift given them. Who is better at it is an open question tainted by the number of people who are Christians in name only not in heart belief and actions which gives all of us a bad name.
The entire Torah speaks about sacrificing for the atonement of sin. Moses required every Hebrew to slay a lamb without blemish or their doorpost so that death would pass over them. The slaying of animals were many times sacrifices for sin but also a way to worship God. Even Abraham was asked to sacrifice his on son until God stopped his telling him that He had a substitute. Jesus says the entire Torah is about Him.
Even if there was a "being" as you say that created the Universe, what makes anyone think it was createdf by a "human man" diety!!?? What if was a Dinosaur daiety or a bacteria diety, or an alien diety??
@cloverfield911 I don't think of such a being, assuming one exists, as a physical entity since that would be begging the question of where matter came from. And definitely not a human being.
@@thinkingtheology Personally I don't believe in any diety anymore.
It's not about whether or not a God exists... It's about the immoral principles Christianity teaches and the way it makes believers behave.... Which reveals more about the belief than any Christian will ever be willing to admit.
Christianity teaches to die to self and live and help all those around you. This leads to love in society. Atheism teaches selfishness, natural man. This leads to hate in society. Atheism sir is very dangerous to society, not Christianity.
he says call me lucifer to give him some restraint...lucifer was an angel....also ansastasia didnt have the happy ending you think
A pastor in the 1970s said that original sin is the only empirically provable Christian doctrine, just check out any news paper. I once saw a DVD entitled "Seven Reasons Jesus Had to Die" and I chuckled. The lady selling it asked me what was funny. I said, "I can think of more than that in just my life." I have lived a mostly boring life and have never killed anyone. I have had sex with women I was not married to on three occasions in 74 years. I have not put God first in every decision in my life. I am not good enough to spend eternity in the presence of a perfect God aside from the washing of Jesus blood. It is axiomatic that no one is perfect and to go to heaven one must be perfect and the only way is to be washed in Jesus blood.
Yes! and natural man is selfish. Selfishness leads to hate. Hate leads to wars and makind's destruction. Atheism is natural man and it's an excuse to be selfish by many lying that it's good. Well said. User ID
Why you need to be perfect to go to heaven in the first place? Without quoting the scripture. For God our earth is the same as Heaven just a place. And somehow he manages to keep as here.
This is written by a Jewish guy with BIG Christian influence: Gods face, gods name. And «just a slob like one of us» reflects Jesus saying: «Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me». The song’s writer has said the lyrics just came to him, and he doesn’t know the meaning, he can just analyse it like everyone else. All in all, the song is beautiful and true
Atheist or not but he is a weather cock politician in sheeps clothing masquerading as a scientist😅
It's a cop out answer. To be an atheist isn't a movement. Also, by labeling himself agnostic just because it doesn't have an 'ist,' at the end is ridiculous, lmao. He must think atheist and anti-theist are the same thing.
Not only do they like to rathole the -ist but people like to rathole themselves. Most people are3a bunch of damn joiners.
It's not pronounced "Degrassey", it's pronounced "Degrass". Most accomplished scientists are atheist - scientists generally hold the position that only sound evidence warrants the acceptance of an idea and there is no evidence for any of the thousands of gods mankind has created.
You're a believer? 😅
🤣 Yes.
@Wix_Mitwirth You win the succinctness award for the week!!
I think this is more of an american problem that the meaning of the word "atheist" shifted a bit to a militant, more like anti-theist, but ultimately it's a matter of definitions. I can't help but question if Neil isn't making the same mistake he described at the beginning, by adding unnecessary baggage to the word "atheist", that you have to join a club and engage in debates about atheism. Personally i view atheist and agnostic as the same thing, someone who doesn't believe God exists. Saying that you're agnostic because you're open to change your mind if evidence presents itself casts judgement on atheists, implying that they wouldn't do the same.
Of course he's an atheist. He's just too cowardly to admit it.
Yes he is. Personally he doesn't use that label, but that's because it has negative connotations in hyper-religious America. But he certainly doesn't believe any gods exist.
yes he is a atheist , anyone who does not believe in a god is.
