Dr James Tour, my son attends Texas A&M University and I just came across your video and I want to encourage you to keep fighting the good fight, you are not alone! God bless you and your family and your works!
What an elegant and well-balanced presentation of one’s story. Dr Tour did a holistic discussion without putting down any of the mundane isms and let the Lord percolate through his speech. I am a Trauma & Orthopaedic surgeon, have not had the opportunity to be long hours in the lab……but the little science I know helps me worship my God. God bless Dr Tour and the calling on his life.
*Dr. Tour is serving the Lord in the university setting. What an accomplishment!*
MsBluebird777 yes that is soooo amazing!
The speculations of this man go against all we have learned
about the natural world. Either overthrow everything we think we have learned
about modern physics, or distrust the stew of religious accounts/unreliable
testimony/wishful thinking that makes people believe in the possibility of life
after death. It’s not a difficult decision, as scientific theory-choice goes.
Dan Delgado
Truth is always amazing. YES
Rob Davis
We disagree, again. That’s just life. ☮️
You do not predominantly disagree with me, but with every physicist out there. In particular, with one of the
conclusions from a model, which is proven beyond any reasonable doubt. That’s
not live in general, that’s the life you choose. Good luck with that.
This brought tears to my eyes! Jesus is king🙌

The story of Dr James Tour proves the verse: the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.
So, you say wisdom begins with the fear of an unfalsifiable concept….Sounds more like the
beginning of irrationality to me.
It’s like saying that: “Wisdom begins with the fear of elves.” This is how stupid that
sounds.
Why should we fear a being who is touted to be unendingly benevolent? That makes NO sense.
@David S - Seems YOU are the Godless trash by being insulting and rejecting one of God's children. You are a hateful person and I am questioning those who are contradictory. Perhaps that is how Satan deceives you, to be afraid of God and to seek him instead and you being none the wiser.
God is love and NOT to be feared. Revered and exalted yes, not feared.
@David S "Godless trash" really? Is that the kindness and eloquence that comes when one is under the delusion to have the creator of the universe on his side?
Sounds more like the rambling of a person insecure in his own beliefs. Should not be hard to provide solid evidence if for your conviction.... Got some?
@@derhafi
Why are materialist so bloody rude and condescending? What is it that makes them so viciously disagreeable? You must be a ton of fun at parties.
Magnificent talk in so many ways. Hallelujah!
A fantastic brilliant man with a great faith!!
I am a simple man and humble knowing I can only understand a small portion of Dr. Tour’s thoughts, ambition and drive. The one thing I can say I share with Dr. Tour is Faith in Christ. I am a police officer and I often have allowed myself to be discouraged by the more human elements I am exposed to in my everyday work and criticism in our society. When I learned of Dr. Tour and his journey especially compelling being Jewish from Brooklyn, I strive to look into my own heart and my anger is starting to transform into something better. So along with all the scientific accomplishments, degrees and titles, respect and continuing success, add yet another re-energized inspired spirit to that list. Christ may be the conductor in that element but Dr. Tour is the vehicle or tool if you will and I am thankful.
Thank you for your service, sir, to both God and weaker humans. There are far more 'good' LEOs than 'bad.' May Jesus give you strength and wisdom in your profession.
@@jakemay637 Thank you, I retired this year and I wish blessings on your house.
Dr Tour, your insights and stand against godless perspectives in 'so called' science warms my heart. Appreciate your testimony on the wonder of JESUS. You have found that amazing narrow road - the views on all sides are indescribable - and the life eternal!
Xerox do
To say this lecture was excellent would be a huge understatement !! :)
An excellent lecture in “how to convince people with no scientific education of bonkers Christian propaganda”.
Maybe somebody will take up his offer someday?
th-cam.com/video/zU7Lww-sBPg/w-d-xo.html
Another great video of his. The Origin of the Mystery of Life.
FakeItalianoII I have never heard of anyone state any errors, only attack his beliefs and scoff with nonsense blurbs and emoji’s.
@@derhafi I love you no matter what! And will pray that Jesus comes knocking on the door of your heart every day for the rest of your life so you may spend eternity with Him
Perhaps not too many people know that Mr. Tour is a member of the 50 most distinguished scientists in the world! He is an outspoken Christian and beliver In God's creation of the universe! Hallelujah!
This speaker, humble but brilliant, is both a scientist and man of God, is my hero, my model, my human Idol. Praise God! He is mightily being used by God for His Glory!
Alpha Chaser indeed. Humble AND brilliant. Of course the two go together since hubris is an impediment to discovery and truth.
Friend I see what you mean and feel the same about Dr. Tour. But please dont make an idol out of him serve God! Look at the first and second commandments.
YourHeinness, I think she is using a metaphor not idolizing like a god
If Jesus is indeed the Lord, like I believe He is, Dr. Tour is definitely used by God. In that case, thinking that he is not used by God, is anything but harmless; but if you are reading this that means there is still a possibility to get saved.
He is preaching it so hard! The spirit of God in me is so overjoyed to hear this man testify of the miracle of regeneration and salvation.
James Tour is absolutely incredible and stunning in how he relates science to faith. Exceedingly brilliant mind and a beautifully wonderous spiritual mind married together in a single human being. Thank you Veritas and thank you Dr. Tour !
He's an embarrassing, lying fanatic.
What an amazing man. Thank you Doc you have really done some good for me and I am quite sure many others. Your testimony is truly remarkable. Thank you and may God continue to bless you and your family.
I just love this guy.
Awesome! The godly man is the most powerful force on the planet. (Dr. Tour's One for Israel testimony is the most moving.)
God bless this soldier of His!!
Amazing info. Amazing Testimony!
Thank you for update. Can't imagine what has transpired the 8 years since this forum.
I have been listening to videos of James Tour - this one has inspired me and challenged me massively. I thank God for this man and his faith!!!
Simply wonderful!
Our hearts and blessings are with Dr. James Tour and may all the glory be to God!
Wow. So powerful! I can’t thank you enough for sharing.
I am speechless!!!!
Absolutely brilliant and inspiring.
This guy has commitment, capacity and compassion - respect!
I Love you Sir..You are wonderful..I couldn't stop my tears rolling out. Glory to God. Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life..there is no other way, not our deeds, nothing we can do, our deeds are filthy rags and without his sacrifice there is no way we could have been part of his eternal plans....
thats messed up.
so no matter how much good i do in this world if i dont believe in jesus, im doomed?
I was saved 6 yrs earlier...in Nov 1971..,& I didn't have 1/ 2 the info' it sounds like you had....muy prof, in bible college began to explain what salvation was & how to receive..this " so great salvation.."Heb.2:3.... I said to the guy next to me.." my stars I did that 2 yrs ago...& nobody explained it to me...." yet I was saved for the very reason Mr James Tour is explaining...God declared to my heart...they hi had become a child of God thru Christ...Acts 16:31.... see Rom.8:14-17(V16)...as to why...!!!oh by the way Mr James Tour thx for that great & honest testimony for our Lord& Saviour...Christianity needs brilliant minds such as yaself ......like Douglas Axe....Stephen Meyer...John Lennox....Mike Behe ...& countless others God has raised up in such a time as....this....by the way there are no atheists...!!!!!!..." that when they KNEW God.....they glorified Him....NOT as God...neither were thankful....but became..,VAIN ( useless) in their imaginations....( delusions) & their FOOLISH..heart was darkened..." Rom.1:21...." professing themselves to be wise.....they became.....FOOLS" Rom.1:22 so.....they,re not atheists...just idiots suppressing what they...KNOW to be true....& they,re miserable....for straining @ gnats & swallowing camels....ha ha
What a lecture, Well done Dr.Tour we need fierce people of faith to challenge worldly ways.
To God be the glory and praise for such a man as Dr. Tour. His impactful testimony and service for The Kingdom of God need to be spread widely for all to appreciate The Power of our Lord Jesus Christ to transform and grant supernatural intelligence to accomplish great things.
Praise the Lord 😀😀😀
Thank you for your encouragement. Your comments remind me how close Jesus is to us.
Super super
I appreciate his practical applications of scripture. Practical uses of wisdom of scripture is largely responsible for my faith!
Amazing testimony. Thanks
I was completely fascinated by your talk.
"I don't understand evolution therefore god" - James Tour
Well done!!!! Learned so much from you!!!! God bless you!!!
Jesus Christ is in this man..there is no doubt about that. The Holy Spirit is flowing out of this man. I love you Dr James because I love the Jesus in you. He is the Messiah!!!
"Jesus Christ is in this man..there is no doubt about that" Let me assure you, there is in fact lots and lots of justified doubt about that.
With what is being written about today regarding nanotechnology, RNA and the changes to our DNA...why is no one is talking about it.
BRILLIANT ! Thank You
What kind of God Nature reveals, Nature shows us a God of Might, Intelligence and intricate detail, a God of order and Beauty, A God who controls powerful forces. That is general revelation. Through special revelation of the Bible and Jesus Christ we learn of God's Love for humanity. Quote John 17 :26 I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the Love you have for me may be in them and I myself may be in them .God loves us all, diligently seek Him with all your heart and soul and you will find Him .And you will have unbelievable peace Amen.
Thanks!
As Abraham Lincoln once3 said, "For those who like this sort of thing, it's the sort of thing they'll like."
James can shut down any follow the science pomposity. Thank you Lord.
No, he can't. He doesn't work in the branches of science he lies about and sneers at.
Love the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul thus Jesus Christ is ALL MIGHTY GOD. No matter how you squirm argue about it because your unbelief, bible made a claim that every knee shall bow to Lord Jesus Christ in the end you if you are not there then that means that you are a rebellious one and walk yourself down to hell at your free will.
"I wish I knew what you know...". What a humble, nice remark of an ambition that exists in many, and the driving force behind a great deal of human effort. We would certainly grow exponentially in appreciation of God, and I wonder if those who knowing much and can't seem to appreciate God necessarily end up worshiping something/someone else, because it is just an unavoidable response (i.e. worshipping nature, man, science, and so on). That would imply a choice.
Dr tour thank you for you for your witness and sharing your testimony God bless you
I hade the same experience but under different circumstances. I was not alone that night while no human was with me.
Bacteria. They are everywhere!
Rob Davis I cant argue with that haha
Awesome!!! Bless ya, James Tour!!
WHAT A WARRIOR!
Wow!
Repentance is a changing of mind. Change your mind from works based lordship salvation, and turn to Jesus as the Messiah, who has given us the free gift of salvation.
Super!
There was no death before sin. Dr. Tour is awesome. Peace
Speaking of mosquitos, did you know that the proboscis they use for sucking blood is the same design on both males and females, but only the female actually sucks blood. The male uses his to get sap from vascular plant stems.
The female needs the extra nutrients likely for developing her eggs. But the point I am making is that in a world where sin had not entered, perhaps the animal kingdom was able to survive off of the plants. Scripture suggests that this is the case in Eden and that the environment wasnt fluctuating in seasons as we see today. Possibly providing more sustenance throughout the year for all creatures. Even those seemingly designed for nature, red in tooth and claw.
Plants are still living things, very much alive. They are probably in the most unaware state which makes it easier to use them against their consent, if were able to give any.
Dr. Tour as scientist, if you haven’t already, please thoroughly investigate the shroud of Turin. It seems to me to be an amazing material piece of the resurrection that goes with the scriptural witness.
BS
He lives in Texas?!! God bless Texas! 🇮🇱🇺🇸🙌🏻
Very, very, very good God bless you
Good day from Singapore! Wish you'd have a wonderful week =)
Science is a belief just like religion. The followers make them fight but in fact, they love each other.
"Science is a belief just like religion."
Science is a systematically, emperical based method to seperate truth from fiction.....religion is faith based make belief.
Things invented by humans speak to the concept that a mind is required.
SUPER !
closed captions, please
18:38 This is a great sitcom. So funny.
I love this guy
Love this, very true ❤
1st Thessalonians 5:21 speaking of prophesies but also applies to everything we hear around us "test everything; hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil". And also Jon 5:39. Christianity commands us to ask questions and investigate because you are asking God Himself in the uniqueness of what Jesus brought which is A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD by way of evidence based faith compared to other beliefs where there are minimal questions allowed, if any, blind faith. Your questions must not be mocking and wanting answers according to what you want to hear but seeking Truth. GOD BLESS
I want Dr Tour on Joe Rogan
thank you for this testimony, Jesus is King !! prais the lord
How wonderful is our God
This Guy is on the ball with finding God, his faith is mountainous, I’ve be been studying the chemistry and physics behind the universe and can only be the product of a loving creator and he is perfect in all his activities and the universe and life testily and clarify that God is Almighty, and one who has all the elements at his disposal also testifys his inability to lie and therefore our trust in him should be magnified regarding END TIMES PROPHECIES and the new world .
John 17:3
1 Titus v2
Thank you for being a man of God but the a human, before sin, is perfect in every form. Look in Genius’s how much time our Lord took to create us
Wonderful man of God
I was an animal science major and only wish I had teachers like him.
teachers with no scientific integrety who lie whenever science is in odds with their belief in a magical god?
@@derhafi No, he said teachers like him.
What a great man!!
Rather what a GREAT GOD that put this guy in our lives.
YourHeinness He can be both👍 but not “rather” in my opinion.
I love this man and his boldness regarding his love for our Creator. However, why has he stopped keeping the memorial of creation, i.e the Sabbath, for the venerable day of the Sun, i.e the first day of the week.?
Wow, glory to God!
I want to invest. What company will start J inventions
On the reply that, “You shouldn’t say evolution is wrong until you have something to replace it with,” let me put this to bed with an analogy.
You suspect that you may be adopted. You get a blood test and find out the blood type of yourself and the two people who have claimed to be your parents. You examine blood type possibilities and find out there is no way either of them could be your parent. You confront them. If they replied, “You cannot call us liars based on refuting it with blood types. First you have to find your supposed real parents. Otherwise you have to accept that we are your biological parents as we told you.”
See. Nonsense. Evolution as it has been presented is wrong. Period. There may be a progression of lifeforms throughput the history of life, but it does not work through natural selection and random mutation over time. Some other innovative, creative, cognitive application is interjecting itself into biological processes. It appears to be tied to the epigentic information apart from the DNA code, with software dictating coded instructions throughout the organism throughout its lifetime, with body plan information, coded information for instincts (turtles and salmon returning to their spawning points) and other mechanisms.
These functions will all require some cognitive, problem solving, intellectual aspects. Thus, Mind is involved, not just matter.
And as Dawkins once said that “Darwin made it intellectually satisfying to be an atheist”, we must now state that atheism is no longer intellectually satisfying. It fails to account for the evidence.
This progression may be completely illusory. From simple to complex is the crux of the lie. In my opinion, there is only one way to build life, being a form with 5 fingers, 2 lower arm bones, and 1 upper arm bone. Just because God uses a similar pattern doesn't mean the species are related morphologically, it means there is only one way to build life on Earth and it's environment. There was a plan. My guess is we are in a hyper-quantum energy computer simulation with at least one designer.
@@CandidDate was my thoughts too
It is not that easy:) Evolution by itself(including Beginnings)is nonsence! But God creating parameters for"wise energy/materia/etc. " and pouring information into it and allowing fredom(chance within the laws) is possible:) Otherwise you need to accout for every "nonbeaitiful" nose some people have,etc.:)))
You are completely ignoring how science works. Unfortunately for you and contrary to your comment, that's not how it works
@@CandidDate "Just because God uses.."
Begging the question fallacy. Why does God use the same Gene's to build fins and the limb structures you just mentioned? Why is an omnipotent being constrained or.limited in any way?
Split pipes and Texas unexpected weather. Dr Tour was prophetic
Love this talk, so funny - who knew synthetic organic chemists could be so funny?
I always thought macro evolution was the emperor who had no clothes. This just shows that there are brilliant men , really brilliant men who have felt and experienced the deep truth of Christ.
As I study these issues further it is amazing how people draw the same conclusions through their own independent study, irrespective of one another. I agree with you whole-heartedly whiteliketar. I recently, at the request of a friend viewed and studied over 80 transitional fossils. These fossils all appeared to be just like one of the two species they supposedly connecting. I found there was just a slight variation from one to the other which could have been explained by micro-evolution even by a layman science mind. I then asked him for some examples of increased information in the genome across species and chemical properties that allowed for these changes, he became upset and told me to read a book that was about 10000 pages long.
I proceeded to ask this question why is it so easy to give a micro-evolutionary explanation, such as green and brown beetles on a tree and birds preying on the green beetles and after time there are a greater number of brown shelled beetles. However when asking for a simple explanation of macro-evolution the person you speak with gets flustered and angry and directs you to do so much reading that anyone living a normal life would never be able to complete it.
This actually reminds me of the Pharoah, no matter what God did he refused to bend his will to that of God, and we see the same thing in modern science. There are so many astronomically improbable events that had to occur with no explanation for life to exist but people dismiss it as chance and then ask for evidence to the contrary. Just mind blowing!
david bobalik well said. You can see these things which is refreshing.
Evolution and your god's existence have nothing to do with each other
@@davidbobalik7514 Do you think therapsids are transitional between earlier amniote synapsids and mammals? Iow Why wouldn't a transitional fossil closely resemble it's two most closely related classes?if it didn't then it wouldn't be a transitional fossil.
Patrick Dennis you need to quit confusing yourself with fossil interpretation - most of the interpretation is filtered through biased atheism to begin with so quit babbling for crying out loud. There is not a single creature we can point to today where an obvious transition is taking place. Now quit having he blood rush to your head as you begin to furiously give examples of creatures that have already being created like amphibians . The only lone example you can give is in your imagination ....it’s the only place where transitionals thrive.
You are free to do whatever you want.
You are also free to enjoy it suffer the consequences of your free choices.
Cuz there are always consequences.
If I as the Head of my family has insisted on family devotions, I might have saved my wife from the mental illness that lead to our divorce.
But though I knew about being the Head of my home, my generation was taught your wife had to agree with anything you thought you ought to do together. That you must never MAKE HER do it; make her OBEY you.
So much wisdom comes so late because it comes from experience and not from teaching.
But why is that so?
Because so often the fruit practicing wisdom is NOT experiencing bad things. So the Good you experience by following taught wisdom is not appreciated until much later.
We know things mostly by contrast.
Adam and Eve knew nothing about death, nothing about hunger, pain, and sorrow. So they didn't (couldn't?) appreciate the Life, the Health, the Happiness they had.
Not until they sinned. But then it was too late to take it back. Like my failure to have a family altar. I now know from experience the likely positive results. So I'll start now and see for myself it's effect on my life with my second and last wife.
*Dr James Tour at it again, if you are a theistic evolutionist, you must watch this*
This is referring to Darwinists, which I am not.
Or, just an idea, you can read some books or attend some lectures written by people who are
actual specialists on that subject.
Rob Davis you could and can but it’s not a requirement that one has to be a specialist on a subject to have an argument for or against something. And it doesn’t mean you need credentials to speak on something. Debate a person on their arguments if it is a sound argument or not.
@@derhafi Unfortunately for your fallacious assertion, one doesn't have to be a "specialist" on a subject to make correct statements about that subject and, likewise, being a "specialist" on a subject does not mean one is making correct statements on that subject.
@@michaelwill7811Well, those are fair points, broadly as you put them.
However it is the cast that Tour does neither now, nor care about the validity of his statements. The most scientific thing he does, is to make sure, not to take on the burden of prove and smuggle in some Jesus. That’s predominantly due to the fact that he is a religious fanatic with no integrity who solely uses his scepticism when it suits his bias. This man is a disgrace to the scientific community.
With your scientific knowledge, I would love for you to study the images of the resurection as recorded on the Shroud of Turin and learn from your perspective!
Jesus Christ cool God
Man of truth
Wow
Where else could Dr. Tour work but Texas ? Certainly not the Coasts .
Dr. tour would not be allowed to speak at most public and private universities in 2019. The students would riot and tear down the campus as well as the surrounding commercial properties.
And for god reasons: he is trough and through dishonest.
Jimmy from the Bronx.
A question came to me.... How have the rest of these scientists not taken him out yet?? Answer.. God Loves Him!
He is, for good reasons just not taken serious
in that regard. Given that he does no scientific work on the matter.
If the geologic column is a legit way to age the planet I wonder how that fits with the empirical data of deposition, erosion and uplift.
Measuring the areas today with the absolute least erosion and slowest uplift applied to the earth's entire surface would have erased said column 100+ times. And that's being way too generous regarding the speed at which any ancient bones would be erased. Why are there still fossils which are said to be 10s of millions of years old? Utterly impossible. I guess the key to the past is known from jack nuts about the present and measurable data we can verify over and over again.
THANK GOD FOR AMERICA; FOR THE
TECHNOLOGY.
You forgot about the picnic thinking about how they see & think & remember, then you forget to eat, 😂.
bump it up, algos
If I accept his religious experience as real on what basis can I reject every other similar experiences by the thousands of nonchristian experiences that are just as honestly felt? The devotees of the Mayan gods seemed just as real . We're their blood sacrifices so different from those depicted in the Bible?
To say "nobody dies for a lie" is a misnomer. Dr. Tour should say "nobody WILLING dies for a lie." Good examples would be the young men that died in Vietnam since that war was started with a lie, along with every war since 9/11 since that was also a lie.
Jim: do you believe in Keeping the Sabbath HOLY dear?
I meant to say dear brother!!!
