You just sound like you overcame a great hurdle by working on yourself and delusion yourself that you were saved by a third party entity. Wherein it's simply just you overcommng your struggles and self harm. But anyhow great work on your recovery
You weren’t there, you don’t know what he went through. Sometimes, people may be too weak to overcome their struggles and ultimately, the Bible is their source of peace, joy, happiness and fulfillment, and it comes from God, so therefore God does help people and it’s through His word which He lovingly provided us with.

Those that can make you believe absurdities can make you commit attrocities. Such is the power and evil of religion. A disturbed person is a Christian and wants to shoot up a school. The person prays and prays and prays for god to help him, but his anger is too great. He gets a gun an starts shooting innocent people, killing dozens, until He is shot by the police. As he is dying, the shooter says, "I'm sorry God...I tried but I wasn't strong enough. You have always been my saviour please forgive me for my sins...I repent..." and then dies. And your god welcomes him into heaven. During the same rampage, an atheist teacher repeatedly goes into the hallway to save the lives of students. After saving a dozen children, he is shot by the gunman and he falls inside his classroom and students lock the door. A student says they will pray for him. His response is, "Why? There is no god...." and he dies. And god sends him to hell to be tortured for eternity in the flames. And you have no problem with this. Absurdities and atrocities.
I’d rather go through believing and living a life for GOD and find out there isn’t one. Than to live my life not believing and found out there is a GOD.
I always thought that a wise and benevolent god appreciated good people regardless of their beliefs or disbelief. I know I would because I am a good person.
The one issue I have with this statement is that it has the element of doubt regarding God's existence. Christians aren't basing their life on a hunch that God exists. If we aren't 100% convinced, how will we have enough faith to endure any trial that we might have to endure?
James Richard Wiley Ephesians 2:8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- This pretty much sums up how you get to heaven. It’s not because of good works.
and if god is god, all these people saying he doesn t exist...the hitchens, and the dawkins saying they provide god doesn t exist...god is not worried.]
@@littlehollow , being convinced that a god exists is an action taken by a living brain. Steven Hawking's brain is no longer living, therefore he is not a theist or an atheist.
@@littlehollow , if people are making decisions based on faulty information that is a bad thing. For instance...the bible says that gays are not to be tolerated. Ok. If there is no christian God, than this is an immoral statement because there is no such thing as sin. Many people make decisions in their lives that they think are their God wishes based on their interpretations of their favorite holy book. Again, if there is no god, all of that effort is wasted. Maybe you can be the exception and provide actual evidence that a god exists...I doubt it.
@@littlehollow , life has the meaning that we give it, it's a personal thing. There is no overall meaning to life that I've seen described. My purpose is to be a good dad, brother and son, maybe husband again but that's another story entirely. A book cannot assign meaning to your life.
Turek's arguments work on the already converted. In order to agree that a theistic, personal god was the creator, you have to believe it to begin with. All Turek can offer is a deist and only if the premise of nothing to start is true - which isn't a safe assumption. You can't make the leap to a personal loving god from there.

cesar leon and if you didn’t see, what other reason could debunk something that is truly logical? What else is it to believe? Something that is illogical to say that there is no God?. Ridiculous, “Atheism is so senseless. When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance.” - Issac Newton. “Don’t think” that’s ironic. Lol
cesar leon if your saying it happen by chance, it’s pure ignorance, when do you see a monkey popping out of existence in your living room? Yes exactly look at other planets, most of them don’t support life and none of them have life. It could be nonsense but it isn’t, but it is even worse to believe that nothing created something and that everything is a coincidence. And Jesus actually showed himself, if randomness happens why isn’t there a monkey popping out into existence out of nothing? And there is still something in that living room making it more likely to happen there, because there is still something. Not literally nothing.
Kuffar Legion science isn’t hard to understand, atheist are the ones who doesn’t understand science. Science is for God. All science is discovering Gods work. And we should know that God let the land be curse because the fall of man but that doesn’t take away the fact that every design is made perfectly for that design. We are all still alive aren’t we? The gods are not gods because there is only one God. But that one God is all powerful and all good. John 3:16 King James Version “16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” "Scientific investigations, pushed on and on, will reveal new ways in which God works, and bring us deeper revelations of the wholly unknown." Maria Mitchell. And also Nobel prizes winners in chemistry 72.5% are Christians, 65.3% in physics, 62% medicine. Are Christians, and that was because they knew it was done by God.
@@tan1591 , in all of science, no measurement or action has ever been explained by adding a variable for a god. Turns out your god has as much impact on the world as my pet unicorn does.
worldgonemad that is the most ridiculous argument ever, looks like you were just going for an insult. It’s like adding a human to a math equation. What an idiotic thing to say. And God had the biggest impact this universe. He’s the cause. He literally came down from earth. Mostly all scientists were Christians in the scientific revolution. And your saying God did nothing? You ignore the historical evidence, you ignore the scientist, you ignore logical reasoning. You’re in denial. Like even after all that, you chose ignorance. It’s like rejecting the color of grass.
I'm kind of new to Christianity and I had no idea that there was so much objective reality to back up the case for God and so many "scientists" who just flat out deny reality. This may come as a shock to lifetime believers, but the secular world is quite convinced that the opposite is true.
Hi and welcome. There are a number of scientists who are also Christians. My favorite is Dr. Hugh Ross, the astrophysicist. He lectures and has written some very interesting books. I think the first one he wrote was Reasons To Believe. If you liked this talk, you will probably like Dr. Ross as much as I do. Blessings.
Dr Jason Lisle (?)(astrophysicists)is great too. He’s got a lot of good you tube videos. Good books are the case fore Christ by Lee Strobel and Josh McDowells books Oh and if you haven’t run across Pastor Jack Hibbs he’s awesome and Bible based. He an abortion survivor. Mom tried to abort him and he survived to lead thousands to Christ.
I don't see it. Neither does science. Note that science isn't absolute (that's why Frank hates it. He needs that anchor in his life), it's about probabilities. Randy had a prize of $1M for anyone who could prove the supernatural. The prize was never claimed. So much for "objective reality".
@@HansBezemer he doesn't hate science. he's just pointing out what the most logical conclusion is. when have you ever seen life come from non-life? How do we get order out of chaos? the logical conclusion is that there is a creator because it's scientifically impossible that everything we know and see came from nothing. the universe is chaotic, it can't put things in order on it's own. there has to be someone or something fine tuning the universe for it to work. it's like playing a musical instrument. an instrument can't play itself. a musician has to play the right notes in the correct order for it to work. Nobody can truly prove anything. All we have is evidence and the evidence points to a creator. not nothing.
@@ron7328 It's simple - the universe AS A WHOLE falls into chaos. That doesn't mean that it happens everywhere at the same rate at the same time. E.g. there is a remote chance that all molecules in a container end up in the same corner. That's how probability works. And there is no fine tuning of the universe. It's a compelling philosophical question, but there is NO PROOF whatsoever that these constants even could be different. The reason for that is very simple. We've never seen a case where 1+1 doesn't equal two. We've never seen a triangle which angles do not add up to PI radians. We've never seen a consequence preceding a cause. Hence, it's completely possible that those values cannot be different at all. I give you another example. As someone with both a CS degree and a biology degree I can tell you DNA is not nicely laid out. There are lots of duplications, inefficiencies, non-coding DNA - errors no well thinking developer would make. I've also experimented with generating code using genetic algorithms. You find the same sort of flaws in code that is generated that way. So either God is a very lousy programmer OR those sequences were generated by a genetic algorithm. Every theory is composed of pieces of evidence. When the evidence is compelling, a hypothesis becomes a theory with a higher of lower degree of certainty. In science, it's rare to find absolute truths. There is always a degree of uncertainty. However, some hypothesis have more credibility than others. The credibility of ID is quite low. There is absolutely nothing that clearly points to design. As a matter of facts, recently we found that RNA molecules can replicate and are subject to algorithmic improvements, just like DNA molecules. That you haven't seen it or believe it is inconsequential. That's merely a fallacy of incredulity. I haven't seen the sun rise this morning. Yet I reasoned that it has.
The only problem with this vid is that he said, the creator of the universe is a he. No, it was a she. It was a female entity that waa responsible for creating the universe. The he god which is man is responsible for creating the universe on earth. Man is the god of the bible and the ruler of this world or universe but not the creator of the universe (space, planets, earth, stars etc). Don't get it confused or twisted.

@@scrub8363 it may be reasonable to believe there is a creator if you assume a universe from nothing. I don't believe this is a safe assumption and so am not convinced that a creator is required.

There is no requirement for a personal loving creator if you agree with the Kalam argument. (I think this is a major fault in Turek and WLC's reasoning of a benevolent personal god) As far as sacred texts go, I don't see any of them that aren't refuted by science. The gap for a god to fit keeps closing.

You just need to choose whether or not you want to spend it in the presence of the Father who CANNOT have sin in his presence. He gave you a way out and all you have to do is accept His free gift and turn from your sin. You have free will. You have his instruction manual. If you choose wisely and do so with a contrite heart you will be given access to the Spirit of God to help you gain understanding.

Also, Yahweh was just some random god of storms that became the national god of Israel, but was worshiped alongside many other gods in the Hebrew pantheon, and Yahweh only became the only god of the Hebrews when the Jews removed all of the other gods from their pantheon, due to the rise of Jewish nationalism and the Jews wanting to destroy their similarities with the Babylonians, which was in turn due to the Babylonian Captivity. So the only reason that the Abrahamic religions, which are the most popular religions in the world, are monotheistic and not polytheistic, is the arbitrary actions of King Nebuchadnezzar II.

That isn't how scientists explain the big bang so your explanation isn't equally valid. At all. You're looking at a spot where they say there is no evidence and you're saying that all explanations are equally valid as a way to insert magic where there isn't any.
*Ecclesiastes 3 verse 11 : He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.* God give men the understanding of eternity. But human cannot find out what God does from beginning to the end. He did that so human learns to be humble.
For anyone wondering where the "quantum vacuum," meaning the quantum fluctuations in the vacuum, come form, they are a result of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This is a very well-known fact in physics. He could have just looked this up. Also, by "because there is a force like gravity, the universe can come from nothing," Professor Hawking was saying that because gravitational fields *naturally* have a negative energy, unlike negative energy fields that arise in positive-negative energy pairs in the vacuum solely because of the uncertainty principle, they can arise along with positive energy fields in the positive-negative energy pairs that arise from quantum fluctuations in the vacuum (depending on which theory of quantum gravity is true) and actually stay there, rather than being there for a limited time determined by the uncertainty principle, and this could've been what happened at the Big Bang. So what Hawking was saying made perfect sense and was perfectly coherent, but Turek took the statement out of context and acted like what Hawking said was insane, which makes me think that Turek is intentionally lying to get people to believe what he's saying, rather than just being deluded. So for anyone that believes what Turek is saying, and believes that a god must exist, then why would Turek have to intentionally lie like this to get people to believe in a god?

Dreaming itself is evidence for ourselves to know that the metaphysics is real meaning that you have a spirit or soul.
A sidenote: One can know one is dreaming without waking up. If you close your nose and try to breathe through it, you cannot when you are awake. If you're dreaming though, your respiratory system is at function while your body is in a paralysis, so in your dream you will be able to breathe through your nose while closing your nose. Off course, initially you would have to know that this is not possible while awake in order to use it as a way to distinguish the state of dreaming and being awake. Great lecture!
i didn't see any logic at all from frank, simple or otherwise. simple lies, simple deception, simple audience, i saw all that. go compare what frank said to anything hawking ACTUALLY said, frank is lying in every minute of this video.
Mr. Turek thank you for these videos. I am with you on much if not all that you have been saying. Except, you can know your dreaming when your dreaming. Blessings 💝
@Ben Shapiro 0:12 "No one created something out of nothing (atheistic view)" First of all, nobody cares what the atheistic view says about the origins of the universe; atheism provides science with nothing. The scientific view, the view that provides actual evidence, is that there's no reason to believe that "someone" created the universe. If Turek wants to advance the theistic view a millimeter, he needs to address the scientific evidence, not the opinions of atheists. Turek's ignorance begins with the dichotomy he presents in the first seconds of this video. The rest is a very long and impetuous corollary.
Ok y’all can atleast give respect. Hawkings was a brilliant scientist that dared to search for answers besides presuming a conclusion. If he was alive in a debate, he would of gave a lot of theologians a hell of a ride in debates.
Frank's last ascertain, you only know you're dreaming when you wake up, is wrong. You can know you're dreaming consciously, it's called lucid dreaming, and it's awesome. I have 2 or 3 a month, and I am amazed everytime I have 1.
I think it’s more about the idea that if you never woke up you wouldn’t know you were dreaming. The state of “awake” has to exist to contrast “dreaming”
I feel sorry for Steve hawking.He died living his life as a vegetable only to find out that his miserable life here on earth was the only heaven he would know compared to where he's at now

@@jimmydykes7961 there may well be a god, but has it occured to you that all you have to go on is god's word? god telling you he is great and you can come to heaven sounds like a scam to me, especially as "oh you get this onetime offer after you are dead" when you can't change your mind. i have this theory that god prefers atheists, that religion is designed to sort out people who just suck up, who want to get into heaven regardless of the cost, and will do anyyhting to stay out of hell, is that sincere? cos only an atheist can act sincerely - we have no fear of hell, no expectation of heaven, we do things becuse we think they are RIGHT, regardless of the consequences. religion was invneted so god can pick out all the people that just suck up to him, he really wants people with the GUTS to defy him.
@@HarryNicNicholas you do not understand salvation.just saying God is great or I've been a good boy dont cut it.God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins..if you want to go to heaven you confess your sins ,ask for forgiveness,and ask Him to come into your heart...salvation is more than just getting into heaven..its a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ..His spirit becomes part of you and you walk and talk with Him on a daily basis...Knowing God is not some scam
As a Christian i would point out that Hawking says It Appears to be fine tuned, meaning he believes it’s only fine tuned in appearance not that it actually is. However the mathematical odds of the seemingly fine tuned universe happening out of Randomness and not an Advanced Mind similar to that of Man’s, are so astronomically enormous that it would’ve took a Miracle for them to happen. which would then prove the existence of Miracles which are defined as “a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences.” Hawking then contradicts himself.
so you're another one who doesn't care about your faith but just wants to win, no wonder you're on frank's page, he lied and misrepresented hawking from the first moment of this, you sound like a real nice christian too. what's christianity about again? cos it appears these days all you lot want to do is win arguments, atheist bash and dictate what people can and can't do, while being hypocrits yourself. it's really easy to fact check hawking, everything he ever said was kept, go fact check frank, cos frank here is lying from start to finish.
A Native American chieftain, a catholic priest and a liberal athiest college professor go on a fishing trip. The chieftain catches a salmon, takes it to shore, roasts in in tinfoil and says "thankyou fish spirit for feeding me". The catholic priest catches a salmon, roasts it over the fire and says "blessed be the good Lord for giving me my daily bread". The athiest college professor catches a salmon, takes it to shore, slices it thinly, rolls it in rice and cream cheese and poors himself a craft beer and starts to eat. The priest and chieftain look at him in confusion then ask him who he has to thank for the salmon. The athiest answers smugly "I just got lucky". They then say to him "we know you just got lucky but why thank him, while you werent looking he spilled your beer, ate half your sushi roll, and buried the rest in the dirt

Or there is God. I don't think an atheist throwing that claim out there has anything more to add if they aren't there to provide some kind of solution to the God conundrum.
@@leyonmathew That’s called the god of the gaps argument. If you watch Frank’s presentation, you will find that he isn’t making that argument.

I agree, but the only reason you knew you were dreaming is because the dreamworld is inconsistent with reality, and we somehow pick up on that. We have something to compare it to. If we were in the matrix, we would have no "objective reality" to compare our experience to, so we would just thing that is the real reality.
tell me mr "you can't get life from non-life" EVERYTHING in the universe is made from three things, electrons, protons and neutrons, none of them are alive. how can you be alive?
I think you worded it fine. Some times I think of God in a deistic way. Maybe he's just cruising by making planets. There are so many. I really want to believe but I feel foolish when I say it out loud and my questions never get answered. I'm glad you're not just reading scripture to me. I find it annoying when people do that, so thank you.

That example of us being in a dream: I always say that you know when you're not in a dream, but you don't know when you are. Otherwise you wouldn't be dreaming. Cartoons and shows always have that problem when a character claims they must be sleeping.
Someone created something out of the elements already present which are eternal. - Joseph Smith jr. I think this one makes even more sense, since Frank says nothing comes from nothing.
If god is that which is eternal, then this becomes semantical (don't mean that dismissively). Those eternal elements are, by definition, part of god. So I am not sure this idea is even in disagreement (Made in our image etc)
@Ben Shapiro Who created the elements? Well, the answer is in the quote. They were not created. They were there. You ask me how, I say I don`t know :) The fact is that we don`t have all the answers. Why would the elements be there? Maybe the purpose of elements is to give purpose. To create and give life.
@Ben Shapiro The point is that matter can neither be created or destroyed just refined, rearranged, or moved, meaning that creation happens when God commands matter to be arranged int such a way that gives desired results.

At 12:30 on the video Frank Turek says," they are trying to avoid a designer ". He is absolutely correct. No argument will ever be convincing or strong enough to disprove a Designer.
No Frank is misrepresenting-“they” the scientist are simple trying to understand and explain the world and universe with a way we can understand and use to help us. Once you start allowing a Designer into the equation you have given up.

Michael, why do you insist that hell is a torture chamber? It's rather a classic and inaccurate view. Hell is just separate from God, much like sin is the absence of God. If you or anyone else, God forbid, ends up in isolated hell, it will be because you chose to separate yourself, not because you're imperfect. Remember, Jesus is the reconciliation, median, and propitiation for your imperfections in comparison to God's perfect standards. All you really need to do is accept that. Simple as that.
"Hell is just separate from God, much like sin is the absence of God." - So, your god notion does not include omnipresence? "God's perfect standards" - What perfect standard are you claiming? Passages such as Deuteronomy 20:10-14: Conquest, Mass Murder, Slavery, & Rape seem to make such statements absurd...
Buddy, Omnipresence just says you have the power to be present, which entails the power to become absent. God would not be present in hell because he is the sum of all good.
Alfredo Castro 1) So, your notion of omnipresence as claimed in your god notion is a power that can be activated and deactivated as opposed to a supposed state of being? 2) You don't see a contradiction between the idea of all good and the idea of supposed creator of hell? Which is better to you eternal torture or non-existence? I am left to wonder amount what people call good given the horrors that some consider to be good at least from my notions.
***** lol, I never mentioned God didn't create hell. Listen buddy, your attempts to disprove or discredit God by sheerly anthropomorphizing Him are clearly outdated and it is a very poor excuse not to believe. Who said He wants to do anything about it? Are you implying there should be no justice, and people should do whatever seems fit to them by their own disgraceful standards? You make your own choice to enter a realm of complete isolation from the presence of God. It's not the professor's fault that the student failed his class, but it is the student's lack of self-discipline, integrity, and motivation. Don't blame the professor, you make your own choices. Take some responsibility for once.
Alfredo Castro "You make your own choice to enter a realm of complete isolation from the presence of God." - No evidence for the claim of a God existing, which makes claims such as yours worthless. You are of course free to make up all sorts of notions, but in the absence of evidence (demonstrable cause/effect linkage) for existence, your claims are on par with claiming any number of fictions as truth. There is no discrediting a concept which has NEVER been shown to be, since, given the absence of evidence all claims of god (deity) are arguments from ignorance.
Steven Hawking, "It would e very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us"
Funny thing is, this guy is saying very obvious things. Hawking was a great scientist, but failed miserably at basic philosophical matters. Like, unfortunately, most of the ateists.
No, what you really mean is _"Hawking disagreed with my religious belief therefore I'd better run him down any way I can."_ Let's keep things honest, shall we?
All lot of believers praise god for helping them/miracles but frank has said that god does not intervene with us so as not to Tamper with free will. Example: why does god not destroy child molesters. God does not want to mess with the free will of the molester, but will stay idle and watch a believer pray/beg him for help. This confuses me. Please clarify if you can.

The one issue I have with this statement is that it has the element of doubt regarding God's existence. Christians aren't basing their life on a hunch that God exists. If we aren't 100% convinced, how will we have enough faith to endure any trial that we might have to endure?

He's actually doing more than other preachers.... imagine the number of people he have influenced to come to Christianity.....God bless him
Turek's arguments work on the already converted. In order to agree that a theistic, personal god was the creator, you have to believe it to begin with. All Turek can offer is a deist and only if the premise of nothing to start is true - which isn't a safe assumption. You can't make the leap to a personal loving god from there.

@@ron7328 It's simple - the universe AS A WHOLE falls into chaos. That doesn't mean that it happens everywhere at the same rate at the same time. E.g. there is a remote chance that all molecules in a container end up in the same corner. That's how probability works.
And there is no fine tuning of the universe. It's a compelling philosophical question, but there is NO PROOF whatsoever that these constants even could be different. The reason for that is very simple. We've never seen a case where 1+1 doesn't equal two. We've never seen a triangle which angles do not add up to PI radians. We've never seen a consequence preceding a cause.
Hence, it's completely possible that those values cannot be different at all.
I give you another example. As someone with both a CS degree and a biology degree I can tell you DNA is not nicely laid out. There are lots of duplications, inefficiencies, non-coding DNA - errors no well thinking developer would make. I've also experimented with generating code using genetic algorithms. You find the same sort of flaws in code that is generated that way. So either God is a very lousy programmer OR those sequences were generated by a genetic algorithm.
Every theory is composed of pieces of evidence. When the evidence is compelling, a hypothesis becomes a theory with a higher of lower degree of certainty. In science, it's rare to find absolute truths. There is always a degree of uncertainty. However, some hypothesis have more credibility than others. The credibility of ID is quite low. There is absolutely nothing that clearly points to design.
As a matter of facts, recently we found that RNA molecules can replicate and are subject to algorithmic improvements, just like DNA molecules. That you haven't seen it or believe it is inconsequential. That's merely a fallacy of incredulity. I haven't seen the sun rise this morning. Yet I reasoned that it has.

Also there's a documentary called A Case for Christ, it examines Jesus's burial cloth. Start with the movie though. I hope this helps. God bless.
@@grizzley409 Thank you. I'll look at Lee Strobel first. If the contents in documentaries are true, there shouldn't be any religious bias, but present the evidence as they are.
There isn't any evidence of multiple universes so the bible's lack of information regarding the universes structure isn't surprising. The bible doesn't even know that other planets exist, the moon is a place you can go, the sun is a million times bigger than the Earth, and that the atmosphere thins to become outer space that makes up almost the entire universe. Yeah, the bible doesn't tell us about other universes. It literally only talks about our planet as if it is the entire universe because that's what bronze age mythology tells them.
The bible is so incorrect about the nature of reality that you shouldn't looking for them to explain any universe, including ours.

When we start asking questions about the very nature of God Himself, that leaves the physical realm and crosses over into the supernatural. The supernatural realm is not bound by the laws of physics or science. So God exists, just because He's God and that's just the way it is. Doesn't have to make sense to us. The rules of the physical realm no longer apply...

If so, then the main question we must discuss is "why believe the Bible vs sacred texts of other religions", at which point the person seeking the answer is no longer an atheist but rather a theist in search of the true creator/God. Is that where you stand at the moment?
@@scrub8363 it may be reasonable to believe there is a creator if you assume a universe from nothing. I don't believe this is a safe assumption and so am not convinced that a creator is required. I see that reasoning as a god of the gaps.
If one did believe in a creator they would not have to be a theist, but rather a deist. There is no requirement for a personal loving creator if you agree with the Kalam argument. (I think this is a major fault in Turek and WLC's reasoning of a benevolent personal god)
As far as sacred texts go, I don't see any of them that aren't refuted by science. The gap for a god to fit keeps closing.

i have this theory that god prefers atheists, that religion is designed to sort out people who just suck up, who want to get into heaven regardless of the cost, and will do anyyhting to stay out of hell, is that sincere? cos only an atheist can act sincerely - we have no fear of hell, no expectation of heaven, we do things becuse we think they are RIGHT, regardless of the consequences.

@@HarryNicNicholas I respect your view. I can only and will only speak for myself. I know God exists because I've met Him. Once I believed in Him a relationship began to develop between Him and I.

In talking to you, I have no ulterior motive to try and convince you.

Why would I bother replying to you? you may think that I just have a need to be "right". I assure you, if that were the case, I would take pleasure in the thought that one day you would know what I know, albeit, to late. That is not the case! I stopped what I was doing to answer this at length because the thought of you spending eternity outside of His presence makes me ill.
It breaks my heart. Yes I told you I was intrinsically selfish. He changed that about me in a drastic way. You are not a bad person but you were born into a world where sin and death exist. Every single one of us is guilty. You were created for eternal life. You just need to choose whether or not you want to spend it in the presence of the Father who CANNOT have sin in his presence. He gave you a way out and all you have to do is accept His free gift and turn from your sin. You have free will. You have his instruction manual. If you choose wisely and do so with a contrite heart you will be given access to the Spirit of God to help you gain understanding. You will enter into the Body of Christ (which is all of us). and you will have everlasting life with The Father. I beg you, friend, to choose Life.

"Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.."

claims about gods or any other supernatural things are by definition out of the scope of science.

Sure, much agreed.
The Scientific methods limitation is that it cannot measure or assess non-physical things.
So it's useless to verify or falsify Metaphysics: those realities that are Spiritual & Mental:
How much does Love weigh ?
Hate ?
Truth ?
History ?
These things lack all physical reality, yet they control or effect all Physical reality.
This is why using so called "Scientific" objections to God's existence are fallacious.
When a prominent (Atheist) Scientist stands up & declares
"God MUST not exist because we can't locate or measure Him", watch out.
That man has just stepped outside the realm of Science into Philosophy, but either hasn't recognized it or isn't being honest about his Transition.
He's now operating as a Materialist but making absolute claims about a Metaphysical reality Science can't speak to.
At best he's confused - at worst he's an covert Evangelist for Athestic Materialism, yet unaware of both his predilections against God's Ordained Spiritual reality OR the limits of Scientific observation.
The Truth is we all know God us our CREATOR, Father & Redeemer from within ourselves - God has whispered this in our Conscience, shown it in Nature & Written it in His WORD.

Also, Yahweh was just some random god of storms that became the national god of Israel, but was worshiped alongside many other gods in the Hebrew pantheon, and Yahweh only became the only god of the Hebrews when the Jews removed all of the other gods from their pantheon, due to the rise of Jewish nationalism and the Jews wanting to destroy their similarities with the Babylonians, which was in turn due to the Babylonian Captivity. So the only reason that the Abrahamic religions, which are the most popular religions in the world, are monotheistic and not polytheistic, is the arbitrary actions of King Nebuchadnezzar II. So you're living an arbitrary lie.

ITS OFFICIAL - ATHEISM IS A FAITH BASED RELIGION !
ATHEISM IS A RELIGION according to a 2005 Wisconsin Federal Court ruling on the matter of Kaufman v. McCaughtry, as well as the Torcaso v. Watkins case that was affirmed by the 1961 U.S. Supreme Court--the highest court in the land--where court rulings become national law.
The Supreme Court has said , "A RELIGION NEED NOT BE BASED ON THE BELIEF IN A SUPREME BEING." The court described “SECULAR HUMANISM AS A RELIGION.".
Meanwhile, a London based ATHEIST church (yes, you heard me right, ATHEIST CHURCH ), known as the Sunday Assembly, has announced it will open Sunday atheist missionary churches in 22 cities across Britain, United States and Australia.
The London based Sunday service meets with its followers on a Sunday morning (just like a real church), which included a sermon (that's propaganda to you and me), singing and free tea and coffee at the end so all the atheists can discuss their faith amongst fellow believers.
Well, now you know - atheism has its own church - its own religious creed (evolution), its own Pope (Darwin) and now its been officially recognized by the Supreme Court of the United States as a religion proving that it IS possible not to believe in God and still be recognized by the highest court in the land that Atheism is a FAITH BASED RELIGION !

Also, by "because there is a force like gravity, the universe can come from nothing," Professor Hawking was saying that because gravitational fields *naturally* have a negative energy, unlike negative energy fields that arise in positive-negative energy pairs in the vacuum solely because of the uncertainty principle, they can arise along with positive energy fields in the positive-negative energy pairs that arise from quantum fluctuations in the vacuum (depending on which theory of quantum gravity is true) and actually stay there, rather than being there for a limited time determined by the uncertainty principle, and this could've been what happened at the Big Bang. So what Hawking was saying made perfect sense and was perfectly coherent, but Turek took the statement out of context and acted like what Hawking said was insane, which makes me think that Turek is intentionally lying to get people to believe what he's saying, rather than just being deluded. So for anyone that believes what Turek is saying, and believes that a god must exist, then why would Turek have to intentionally lie like this to get people to believe in a god?
Dreaming itself is evidence for ourselves to know that the metaphysics is real meaning that you have a spirit or soul.
White Fang Talks and same with conscience
A sidenote: One can know one is dreaming without waking up. If you close your nose and try to breathe through it, you cannot when you are awake. If you're dreaming though, your respiratory system is at function while your body is in a paralysis, so in your dream you will be able to breathe through your nose while closing your nose. Off course, initially you would have to know that this is not possible while awake in order to use it as a way to distinguish the state of dreaming and being awake. Great lecture!
@Jack Of All Trades I don't quite understand, what is your point?
Again , simple logic just needs to be applied . Thanks Frank
Ok, lets do some simple logic. How did the Moose from Alaska make it to Noah's Ark?
i didn't see any logic at all from frank, simple or otherwise. simple lies, simple deception, simple audience, i saw all that.
go compare what frank said to anything hawking ACTUALLY said, frank is lying in every minute of this video.
Mr. Turek thank you for these videos. I am with you on much if not all that you have been saying. Except, you can know your dreaming when your dreaming.
Blessings 💝
very good presentation from Frank.
I agree
Well of course it was good; nobody was there with a rebuttal for so much abusive ignorance about science.
@@piesho science has a flaw bud
@Ben Shapiro 0:12 "No one created something out of nothing (atheistic view)"
First of all, nobody cares what the atheistic view says about the origins of the universe; atheism provides science with nothing.
The scientific view, the view that provides actual evidence, is that there's no reason to believe that "someone" created the universe.
If Turek wants to advance the theistic view a millimeter, he needs to address the scientific evidence, not the opinions of atheists.
Turek's ignorance begins with the dichotomy he presents in the first seconds of this video. The rest is a very long and impetuous corollary.
I can't believe this doesn't have more views.
The problem with saying that miracles don't happen is convincing the people who have seen them happen.
Ok y’all can atleast give respect. Hawkings was a brilliant scientist that dared to search for answers besides presuming a conclusion. If he was alive in a debate, he would of gave a lot of theologians a hell of a ride in debates.
Is that what he was doing on epstein's island, debating children?
I really liked hawkings before i found jesus.
Frank's last ascertain, you only know you're dreaming when you wake up, is wrong. You can know you're dreaming consciously, it's called lucid dreaming, and it's awesome. I have 2 or 3 a month, and I am amazed everytime I have 1.
Bryan Stortenbecker You’ve gotta have that checked. 😂
I think it’s more about the idea that if you never woke up you wouldn’t know you were dreaming. The state of “awake” has to exist to contrast “dreaming”
Bryan Stortenbecker You should look up Steven Bancarz on lucid dreaming
That’s why you’re wrong. You have to know you’re dreaming
I don't know I'm dreaming when I'm dreaming.
I feel sorry for Steve hawking.He died living his life as a vegetable only to find out that his miserable life here on earth was the only heaven he would know compared to where he's at now
That’s your opinion and and belief. I respect you to your own, but what you said can’t be demonstrated. And why would he be in hell? He didn’t believe in a god. So?
@@guyjosephs5654 thank you for for the respectful comment.uts not so much opinion as it is belief.Just because he didnt believe in God doesn't mean that God does not exist...HE is very real and His word very clearly states where all unbelievers go after this life.God loves you and sent his son for you...He's waiting for you to call out to Him...I respectfully urge you to seek him.there is no reason under the sun to go through this life trials and troubles...just to go to hell.once again thank you

i have this theory that god prefers atheists, that religion is designed to sort out people who just suck up, who want to get into heaven regardless of the cost, and will do anyyhting to stay out of hell, is that sincere? cos only an atheist can act sincerely - we have no fear of hell, no expectation of heaven, we do things becuse we think they are RIGHT, regardless of the consequences.

@@HarryNicNicholas you do not understand salvation.just saying God is great or I've been a good boy dont cut it.God sent his son Jesus to die for our sins..if you want to go to heaven you confess your sins ,ask for forgiveness,and ask Him to come into your heart...salvation is more than just getting into heaven..its a relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ..His spirit becomes part of you and you walk and talk with Him on a daily basis...Knowing God is not some scam
As a Christian i would point out that Hawking says It Appears to be fine tuned, meaning he believes it’s only fine tuned in appearance not that it actually is. However the mathematical odds of the seemingly fine tuned universe happening out of Randomness and not an Advanced Mind similar to that of Man’s, are so astronomically enormous that it would’ve took a Miracle for them to happen. which would then prove the existence of Miracles which are defined as “a highly improbable or extraordinary event, development, or accomplishment that brings very welcome consequences.” Hawking then contradicts himself.
If I've learnt anything from this video, it's that only Intel technology can be trusted to speak on Stephen Hawking's behalf.
lol he was actually bill gates AI son
But...... he's literally quoting Hawking's book........
@@korilemay7877 LOL that's exactly what I was thinking, he's a hawking fan boy, let him have this one 🤷♂️
The universe might be finely tuned for life...but it seems pretty well-tuned for death too.
Unfortunately sin has lead to this, but you need to be a believer to truly understand it.
thats just due to physical laws, it doesnt distinguish the fine-tuning
If your having a debate with an atheist instead of trying to hit them harder with what they hit you, do the debate with love that's how you truly win
so you're another one who doesn't care about your faith but just wants to win, no wonder you're on frank's page, he lied and misrepresented hawking from the first moment of this, you sound like a real nice christian too. what's christianity about again? cos it appears these days all you lot want to do is win arguments, atheist bash and dictate what people can and can't do, while being hypocrits yourself.
it's really easy to fact check hawking, everything he ever said was kept, go fact check frank, cos frank here is lying from start to finish.
Only an end boss like Dr. Frank is able To call the bluff on Stephen Hawkings. Thank you

self-control is one of the fruits of the Spirit, is it not?
not with frank, he opens his mouth, out come lies.
A Native American chieftain, a catholic priest and a liberal athiest college professor go on a fishing trip. The chieftain catches a salmon, takes it to shore, roasts in in tinfoil and says "thankyou fish spirit for feeding me". The catholic priest catches a salmon, roasts it over the fire and says "blessed be the good Lord for giving me my daily bread". The athiest college professor catches a salmon, takes it to shore, slices it thinly, rolls it in rice and cream cheese and poors himself a craft beer and starts to eat. The priest and chieftain look at him in confusion then ask him who he has to thank for the salmon. The athiest answers smugly "I just got lucky". They then say to him "we know you just got lucky but why thank him, while you werent looking he spilled your beer, ate half your sushi roll, and buried the rest in the dirt
A terrible joke. Sounds like a few assholes threw their buddies dinner in the dirt when he had his back turned and are too weaselly to admit it.
Based solely on his tone and mannerisms, you would assume he is talking to a room of children. Then you listen to what he's actually saying and assume the children must have brain damage.

Whatsisface 4 exactly, most of us don’t make an assertion about how this all began, we just don’t know.
Yeah thats it, if peoples dont know about some thing they will consider it as god or an activity of god, in ancient times peoples used to worship sun, moon and other stars about which they were not aware of
Or there is God. I don't think an atheist throwing that claim out there has anything more to add if they aren't there to provide some kind of solution to the God conundrum.
@@leyonmathew That’s called the god of the gaps argument. If you watch Frank’s presentation, you will find that he isn’t making that argument.

I’ve actually known I was dreaming many times but I get his point hahahha. Love you Frank!
I agree, but the only reason you knew you were dreaming is because the dreamworld is inconsistent with reality, and we somehow pick up on that. We have something to compare it to. If we were in the matrix, we would have no "objective reality" to compare our experience to, so we would just thing that is the real reality.
@노라 yes, but we would still think the dream was reality, unless we knew what the objective reality was
He is a really smart grown up germ, that is why we should trust in Hawking's writings over God's

Of course he did. He purposely misrepresents atheism and science and scientists all the time. He’s been doing this long enough he’s either too lazy to do research or he has and is lying. Or both.
Thank you for addressing this. Most of it flew over my head but I know God is real and I know that by his grace and only his grace am I here able to write this testimony.
“Free will is an illusion” is the perfect denial of responsibility. However... it isn’t true.
how do you get to that conclusion without free will
I didn’t deny free will. I said that the claim free will doesn’t exist isn’t true. It’s simply a denial of responsibility.
No it’s not, ultimately we don’t have free will, yeah we’re free to do what we want but we still supposedly get consequences like hell when we die

My original statement, however, stands. In one breath, atheists will invent entire multiverses to justify the mathematical impossibility of their own existence, and in another rule our own a simulacrum to ensure that God does not. Convenient.

I do however disagree with the invent universes. Maybe some atheists might-but cosmologists don’t do it to justify our existence. Mathematics can show it could happen depending on various variables. The majority of scientists think about it because it could be a possibility. I haven’t heard any serious scientists ever use it to get rid of a God.

Someone created something out of the elements already present which are eternal. - Joseph Smith jr.
I think this one makes even more sense, since Frank says nothing comes from nothing.
If god is that which is eternal, then this becomes semantical (don't mean that dismissively). Those eternal elements are, by definition, part of god. So I am not sure this idea is even in disagreement
(Made in our image etc)
@Ben Shapiro Who created the elements? Well, the answer is in the quote. They were not created. They were there. You ask me how, I say I don`t know :) The fact is that we don`t have all the answers. Why would the elements be there? Maybe the purpose of elements is to give purpose. To create and give life.
@Ben Shapiro The point is that matter can neither be created or destroyed just refined, rearranged, or moved, meaning that creation happens when God commands matter to be arranged int such a way that gives desired results.
You are so funny! "And one wonders how gravity could have created us anyway." I haven't heard such a great personality in a while. I thank God for you! God bless.

@@joedanache7970 why would he?
Michael, why do you insist that hell is a torture chamber? It's rather a classic and inaccurate view. Hell is just separate from God, much like sin is the absence of God. If you or anyone else, God forbid, ends up in isolated hell, it will be because you chose to separate yourself, not because you're imperfect. Remember, Jesus is the reconciliation, median, and propitiation for your imperfections in comparison to God's perfect standards. All you really need to do is accept that. Simple as that.
"Hell is just separate from God, much like sin is the absence of God." - So, your god notion does not include omnipresence?
"God's perfect standards" - What perfect standard are you claiming? Passages such as Deuteronomy 20:10-14: Conquest, Mass Murder, Slavery, & Rape seem to make such statements absurd...
Buddy, Omnipresence just says you have the power to be present, which entails the power to become absent. God would not be present in hell because he is the sum of all good.
Alfredo Castro 1) So, your notion of omnipresence as claimed in your god notion is a power that can be activated and deactivated as opposed to a supposed state of being?
2) You don't see a contradiction between the idea of all good and the idea of supposed creator of hell? Which is better to you eternal torture or non-existence?
I am left to wonder amount what people call good given the horrors that some consider to be good at least from my notions.
***** lol, I never mentioned God didn't create hell. Listen buddy, your attempts to disprove or discredit God by sheerly anthropomorphizing Him are clearly outdated and it is a very poor excuse not to believe. Who said He wants to do anything about it? Are you implying there should be no justice, and people should do whatever seems fit to them by their own disgraceful standards? You make your own choice to enter a realm of complete isolation from the presence of God. It's not the professor's fault that the student failed his class, but it is the student's lack of self-discipline, integrity, and motivation. Don't blame the professor, you make your own choices. Take some responsibility for once.
Alfredo Castro "You make your own choice to enter a realm of complete isolation from the presence of God." - No evidence for the claim of a God existing, which makes claims such as yours worthless.
You are of course free to make up all sorts of notions, but in the absence of evidence (demonstrable cause/effect linkage) for existence, your claims are on par with claiming any number of fictions as truth.
There is no discrediting a concept which has NEVER been shown to be, since, given the absence of evidence all claims of god (deity) are arguments from ignorance.
Steven Hawking, "It would e very difficult to explain why the universe should have begun in just this way except as the act of a God who intended to create beings like us"
Funny thing is, this guy is saying very obvious things. Hawking was a great scientist, but failed miserably at basic philosophical matters. Like, unfortunately, most of the ateists.
Example...
And Hawking said in the book philosophical naturalism makes sense. We can examine it and check it and improve our understanding of it.
No, what you really mean is _"Hawking disagreed with my religious belief therefore I'd better run him down any way I can."_
Let's keep things honest, shall we?
All lot of believers praise god for helping them/miracles but frank has said that god does not intervene with us so as not to Tamper with free will.
Example: why does god not destroy child molesters.
God does not want to mess with the free will of the molester, but will stay idle and watch a believer pray/beg him for help.
