"I believe that at the center of the universe there dwells a loving spirit who longs for all that’s best in all of creation, a spirit who knows the great potential of each planet as well as each person, and little by little will love us into being more than we ever dreamed possible. That loving spirit would rather die than give up on any one of us.” ~Fred Rogers~

How do you make sense of hydrogen and helium making way for all heavier elements when subjected to external factors. Is it an observable, repeatable observation?

@@raulhernannavarro1903 God is a logical necessity. The Law of Biogenesis, which is based in observable science states that life only comes from preexisting life. That means the origin of life has to be an eternal living source. What do we know from documented history that meets that requirement? Only God. Therefore people who reject the existence of God fit the category of observable science denying documented history deniers. The only way anyone can rightly know God doesn't exist is if he has some means of observing everything that exists. Atheists are not qualified to make that assessment.

@@raulhernannavarro1903 No one knows, all we know is that the Bible says that God is from everlasting to everlasting. You can play the infinite regression game if you want, if someone made God who made the person who made God, and who made him and who made him, but it doesn't get you anywhere. Whoever was the original creator, that is "God." God introduces Himself in His 4th Sabbath commandment as the creator of heaven and earth, the sea and all that in them is. So that is the understanding of Bible students.

@@raulhernannavarro1903 That's a common objection. Consider that all that we call creation (matter, energy & time, thus space-time) is material, while God is Spirit (not material).

How do non-theists account for the informational content of DNA? The facts that DNA is information and that information cannot come from random processes seems like an almost infallible argument for the existence of God.
Time of the gaps, if neither scientific method (observe repeat test) nor logical rationality can explain, then deep time did it (which is increased when they got a problem).
Walking on the beach, or looking at a paper, and seeing a long word, information, one would be quite insane to think it came to be randomly.

That is not rational, nor is thinking that brain came to be randomly at random, and yet claiming one can trust his own mind to do science, and rely on own thoughts. A computer that came to be randomly at random, cant be trusted or relied upon, to be consistent, to be accurate. If a cake is baked, science cant explain reason or purpose for the cake, until it's revealed.
I liked the idea of Dr. Hugh Ross who tried to figure out if the Bible makes sense with an old earth worldview. His ideas explored that area and I have huge respect for him. However, is it not time to discard that idea yet? Why do the scientists on this channel hold on to the old earth worldview?
What I want someone at Reasons to Believe to explain in detail is what God did with the plants on earth for a million years before the Sun was finished and for 2 million years until the insects and birds came to be? Did God put plants in "SUSPENDED ANIMATION" for all that time? Plants need both the Sun to survive and creatures to spread their seeds to thrive. This "Day-Age" Idea held by Dr Ross has gaps of its own which need to be explained.
Good discussion, but takes 20x longer than Stephen Meyer or Dr James Tour to say the same thing. Bottom line, science is making it increasingly difficult to deny the God of the Christian Bible, aka Jesus Christ.
Where does scripture say the Earth is 6,000 years old? If not from scripture, from where does that age of the Earth come, and what evidence supports it?
@@myinternetname5911 God created Adam on the 6th day, if all the ages of his descendants are added, you don't get millions/billions of years. The age of the Earth can only be approximated by this method and it is around 6,000 years.

We still have no idea how the image was formed. The best guess is some kind of radiation emitting from the body. So a miracle happened.
