- Program 1322 ................... - Faith and Doubt - Naturalism - The Gospel .................................................................
Recorded at Texas - September 2021.
The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses throughout the United States. These universities include the University of Maine, Harvard, MIT, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Minnesota, University of California Los Angeles, University of California San Diego, Berkeley, Stanford, University of Hawaii and the University of Washington. Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four hour dialogue with students. His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes, new students would join the discussion. This is an extremely effective way to reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.

As an atheist I struggled with how there possibly could be such evil/ugliness and such good/beauty in this world. As a believer I see the same thing when I see the cross, God's beauty/good and our evil/ugliness in the same place!
but if you truly are an athiest, too say things are evil/ good means nothing since they are relative in that worldview.
@@danj8038 The term atheist is funny. As a born again believer I now understand that everyone knows God exists, just as Romans1:18-32 elaborates. *It all comes down to Jesus* . Everyone knows God exists, even "atheists". The litmus is, do you acknowledge that He revealed Himself in the form of a man and died for your sins? Atheists reject that, so they make their own gods and create their own rules as Romans1 explains.
So yes, I agree with what you say. Nobody can live out the ideology of atheism, because it is complete nonsense. And as the Bible tells us, nobody truly believes there is no God. He left His fingerprints EVERYWHERE.
@@NotOfThisWorld567 I cannot _know_ this god exists if I do not _believe_ this god exists. And I do not believe this god exists.
Knowledge is a _subset_ of belief. One cannot know what one doesn't believe.
So no. I do not know that a god exists.
1. Is it ever morally acceptable for humans to rape in your opinion? Why?
2. Do you believe that the universe is infinite? Why?
3. Do you believe that life evolved from non-life? Why?
Will you answer these?
@@BullwhipBobbyLove To whom are you addressing your questions?
It's easier to say: "God isn't real," than to say: "I know He's real, I'd just rather not submit to Him."
if you knew there was an all-powerful all-seeing dictator, then rebelling against him would be obviously futile. doing anything would be futile, because it all your life's work could be undone by him in the blink of an eye. obeying him if futile too, nothing you can do he couldn't do himself with no effort.
merely saying he doesn't exist would not make this any less hopeless.
@@sofia.eris.bauhaus For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Romans 1:18-23 KJV

Such biased language... Do you believe that God does not exist... or is it that you fear he does... or that you hate him?
@@jessebryant9233 i wonder if you think the bible verse Huy quoted uses biased language.
but no, i don't believe in god, i think the evidence speaks against such a being. of course assuming omnipotence is a coherent concept, a god could easily hide itself, deceive me, or mess with my mind so in that sense i couldn't rule out it's existence.
but in that case there is nothing i could know about this being. it may be good or bad, rational or irrational, reward or punish people for all kinds of actions or beliefs. i could just pretend to know, just on the chance that some god may reward me for it. but it could just as well be a punishment instead.
if there were a good god, i'd have nothing to fear, at least…
@@sofia.eris.bauhaus
While your comment failed to post, I can see it in the notifications... So you THINK the evidence speaks against the existence of a Creator God? Okay, talk to me about that. What have you got in the way of evidence?
I love this! You posted this whole I was watching your #1016, I love these! I'm so grateful and I didn't know that was your son! That's lit and I'm grateful you brought him into the mix, he elucidates so well! I can see you taught him well!

@Our Savior "As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you."
Stuart, it's amazing to watch you grow and become so articulate. I'm certain one day will come when you will take over this ministry, and take the place of your father. Cliffe has prepared you well, and it's such a blessing to have this ministry in our lives. Thank you the Knecthle men for your minds, time, and compassion.
@@fidenful you do realize that people can think and grow for themselves, right? I believe that even in these videos, Stuart's dad has very frequently encourged him to be skeptical and to look at other religions; so I dont understand why youd leave such an ignorant and bigoted comment. Incase you didnt know, its rude and looks down on the intelligence of Stuart.
@@jaquicx9500 Correct, Cliffe has given so many arguments and doubts to stewart and he still chose Christ, Jesus is the way and you are correct, he chose his faith by himself😄
@@fidenful Islam doesn’t have this much proof or anything compared to Christianity
@@fidenful
If you believe this faith to be silly, then what is your reason for watching the video and commenting on it?
@@jaquicx9500 Islam is filled with gaping holes. See Acts17apologetics' channel. Stuart would find those holes without the influence of his father. I have no doubt about that .Look into the life of Nabeel Qureshi. Also, take note of all of the Muslims having dreams with Jesus Christ at the center of them.
I just subscribed. love this channel. keep up the good work!
Stuart is doing an amazing job stepping in and learning from his dad. When he takes over this ministry he won’t miss a step. God bless Stuart and Cliff.
That's what keep the delusion going.
@@JamesRichardWiley I pray that God will reveal himself to you
So true! He’s even dressing like Cliffe.
Praise God for this ministry, I would be glad if these two were part of the outreach team at my church
Stuart is doing his thing y’all God is really blessing this ministry
It’s all by faith in Jusus Christ! Hebrew 11. Thank you for sharing!
Evidence first - then faith in the evidence.

If you can believe the first verse in the Bible (Genesis 1:1), you should have no problem believing in the rest. 🙏
The first verse of the bible is totally at odds with scientific discovery
@@colinmatts No its not. The first verse talks about the establishment of time, space, and matter. Just like the Big Bang.
@@spacecoastz4026 No it doesn't. It never mentions the words time, space or matter. And it says the earth existed before the sun. That's where it completely goes against science.
@@colinmatts In the beginning (establishment of time) God created the Heavens (space) and the earth (matter). Do you not think that God could create the earth prior to creating the sun, moon, planets, etc? Can "science" prove that the sun existed prior to the earth? NO, it can't.
@@spacecoastz4026 very good point. There it's no conflict between genesis 1:1 and science. People like Colinmats invent conflict and then stand firmly against their own invention.
It's quite sad really.
Going to the person stealing the backpack argument you could steal something from that thief that would make them feel wronged
I love cliffe Whata great guy
Correction....No evolution, just speciation or micro-evolution. God did create everything perfect but when man sinned, the creation became affected. Herbivores became Carnivores, disease corrupted the flesh, etc. However, God created animals with the ability to adapt and change within their kind.
Summary......God is amazing!!!!!
Then how do you account for common ancestry of distinct species?
@@theoskeptomai2535 They will say, common designer.
Classic
You know there are carnivore fossils that predate the entire Bible right? This isn't hidden information.
Well said. 👍
God knew that man would sin. He planned it that way. God knows all things long before they happen.
I was raised to believe that fornication was a good thing, it wasn't until I had an experience with Jesus that I ever felt any conviction about it, and I'm glad for that because with Godly wisdom I now see the error of my ways.
Did this 'experience with Jesus' occur anywhere beside your imagination?
@@theoskeptomai2535 how does it feel to be a fulfillment of prophecy? Mockers and scoffers abound in the latter days
@@ClintonHester88 How does it feel to fear answering a straightforward question directly?
@@theoskeptomai2535 oh I'm not afraid, Jesus showed up and it was so awesome I couldn't speak for a year, and for two years afterward I had little to no situational awareness, the entire world became a new place and He downloaded instantly enough revelation about the Bible that as I read it I found I already knew most of it without having ever read it. I'm not afraid of my testimony one tiny bit, we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. I was changed overnight and since then I've turned fully to following Jesus Christ. You on the other hand clearly are the one who's axfually afraid because my testimony threatens your fragile delusion. Jesus has manifested Himself to every single believer in the world and Jesus clearly says in the Bible Hinself in His own words "I will manifest myself to you". When the curtain is drawn back you'll realize you've been a fool and He's seen everything you did, heard everything you said, and knows everything you ever thought and whether it's willingly in this life or unwilling in the next, every single knee will bow to Christ. ☺
@@theoskeptomai2535 I'm now a pastor, teacher, evangelist and counselor and I've helped literally thousands of people see their need for Christ and helped thousands more stay in the straight and narrow path of which my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ spoke on.
really good convo, the students were great

Thank you!
Agnosticism as a life long effort being phrased as “worshipping the search” is amazing
What's wrong with searching...especially when no valid answers have been discovered? Agnosticism is the most honest position, IMO.
Agnosticism is the position of not having sufficient knowledge or information to justify making a change from a default position (in thus case the default position is atheism). And I agree with Deavon - _agnosticism_ is the most honest position.
@@theoskeptomai2535 What knowledge or information would supply you with enough weight to make a choice of either complete atheism or becoming a follower of Jesus, if I may ask? God bless you!
@@peytonsingh6258 _Sufficient, credible evidence_ would convince me.
@@theoskeptomai2535 Thanks for the response!
From your perspective, what would constitute "sufficient, credible evidence?" God bless!
Both the theist and atheist have miracles in their worldview.
When people tell me “life is meaningless” which I have heard. I simply say “fine. Stop sucking wind right here right now forever and I will believe that you actually believe what you just said”
There are no miracles in my worldview. Evey phenomenon I have ever encountered appears to have emerged from necessary and sufficient antecedents over some finite period of time. All known causation have been natural or artificial - never supernatural.
@@theoskeptomai2535 I’ve seen the supernatural. I am a witness. Good and evil are real. Choose YHWH’s salvation that you may live once your fleshly body dies.
@@raymondhunter2401 Do you think for a moment I will simply trust your _unsubstantiated claim_ over my _own accurate, reliable, and valid experience?_ Really?
@@raymondhunter2401 Well, do you?
@@theoskeptomai2535 are you claiming my experience isn’t accurate and/or true? I tell the truth. I have no reason to lie. I care about your life, and one day, you will die and face God. I would hate for you to die in your sins and face a Holy God.
Around 14:00 mark, Stuart needs to tie in that not only are we made in the image of God but we ALL have the law of God written on our hearts. Romans 2:14-16 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
My favourite parts of the bible are when Jesus is alone talking to god and someone who wasn't there wrote all about it.
Go figure, one day you people will realise your bible is just a poorly written story book.
The best part of that scenario is Jesus is talking to himself because you know the whole trinity thingy. Maybe the holy spirit wrote it down.
@@j_p_jr.487 Or his aunty Mabel she was good at dictation or so I've heard.
Hey! You're back to pa-troll some more? LOL Can't get enough, can ya? As for Scripture itself, how does it claim it came to be? As for specific passages in question... Could you cite those for us?

Question though, what evolution are they talking about?
This is just a TH-cam clip, and I didn't hear the whole debate.
Are they talking microevolution or macroevolution?
I'm assuming micro that species evolve within the same species. (Let's say, animals) Dog is a dog that evolves to a wolf. Speaking in 20th century terms.

The rules of the road (stop lights, lanes, right-of-way, etc) are all superseded by a higher authority when a fire engine operates with lights and sirens. In the same way, God has the authority and the capacity to operate within nature to supersede the typical rules of the domain.
Note: Clearly we can break the law and run the red light, and we call that breaking the law, the point is there is also an agent that supersedes the normal rules
I would like to invite you to share with me a thought experiment.
Suppose there is a universe with no god. What would be the characteristics of this universe?
I suggest that people would still say that there is a god. People would say that they truly believe this god exists and they have a personal relationship with this being. They would point to mysterious events and say that event was a miracle from god. They would deem a lot of coincidences to be prophecy from god.
People would claim they know certain attributes of this god. They would say that this god is perfect, powerful, all-knowing, and loving. They would say that he is eternal and he can take on many forms. And he can even author a book and write on our hearts for us to learn about him and sense his presence.
And they would proclaim that they know what this god wants from them. And he has something to offer that is very appealing if you only abide by his wishes.
But, not everyone would be in agreement about this god. Conflicts will arise and divisions will occur between those believers. Why, there may even be wars as a result of these conflicts.
You see, that hypothetical universe would look exactly the same as the universe we live in today. So, how do we discern which universe is the true one?
One of my favourite quotes from Steve Weinberg;
“Frederick Douglass told in his Narrative how his condition as a slave became worse when his master underwent a religious conversion that allowed him to justify slavery as the punishment of the children of Ham. Mark Twain described his mother as a genuinely good person, whose soft heart pitied even Satan, but who had no doubt about the legitimacy of slavery, because in years of living in antebellum Missouri she had never heard any sermon opposing slavery, but only countless sermons preaching that slavery was God's will. With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.”
First of all a true follower of Christ wouldn't need a MAN to preach a sermon to understand that slavery is wrong, all one would need is discernment from the Holy Spirit when reading the bible.
Secondly, there are no GOOD people, so there is that too.
The real question is: Why do you believe that there is, in reality, anything wrong with anything at all?
It seems as though Mr Arsecandle is all hung up on slavery!!!... Well, all ancient civilisations of the past engaged in one form of slavery or another. The slavery you read about in the bible was NOT race-based forced servitude. It was a voluntary way of paying of debts, or from keeping captives from mustering a rebellion. The slaves were to be treated well and supplied with all the necessities of an average everyday person... On top of that, every slave had to be released after 7 years. Many slaves even refused to be released once their 7 years were over, and they chose to stay with their previous slave owners due to the good treatment they received. In those cases, it was required that the former slave should be payed a full workers wage and everyday supplied with food, clothing, and housing.
@@GraftedOliveBranch
Will this reply show up? Looks like your comment got ghosted. Just FYI...
@Our Savior Is Islam or Christianity true? Maybe Buddhism? Perhaps Judaism is the correct religion to preach? Can all of those religions be true?
I love your discourse and the responses, however I disagree with Stewart’s statement towards the end of the video that to come to the Bible first and then believe is laughable. That caught me way off and perhaps you didn’t mean it or just spoke quickly, however, that statement is laughable in sight of Gods word. God has said that his word is a double edged sword separating soul and spirit, His word is alive and certainly was the crux of my salvation, a young guy with no prior knowledge of the gospel. The Bible when I read it provided a worldview and explanation that fit in with the world around me, sin, and the nature of man made incredible sense, and further more the grace and redemption of mankind amazed me. That God would save us, a wicked and fallen creation, all of which I was led by conviction as well. You can’t throw out the Bible as a sole means of finding God. I’m glad we have so many resources and tools to see God in a great way from philosophy to science, however Gods word is sufficient, that’s why we have it. The gospel, the entire Bible, is Gods written revelation of himself to us, and it is certainly enough to call an unbeliever to salvation, because as you know, it’s not just a book. It’s alive, it’s truth, it changes lives, not some book written by men, but the literal inspired word of God. Carrying the message of salvation. Great vid tho, and interested if that is your stance on the Bible, is the Bible and its message sufficient alone to bring people to salvation?
God also said he was sorry he had made humans. So sad.
Cliffe rocks! Not to mention Stuart!
Tbh, I wrote "Cliffe Rocks" before I heard Stuart. He is rockin' it too. Some really hard to refute logic coming from his mind. God Bless these two for carrying out this ministry. It really is an incredible ministry, imo.
"Agnosticism is worshiping the search" ~ Stuart Knechtle
I'm adding that to my apologetic arsenal. Selah
04:51 "It could also be illogical to jump to the conclusion that just because that because there's like these things with design there has to be some intelligent mind behind it."
To conclude that something designed has an intelligent mind behind it is the most logical conclusion!!!
To say that design can be explained by the laws of the universe is 1. to recognize the dependable structure of the universe while 2. trying to ignore the fact that the laws themselves are evidence of design, and hence a designer!
"Creation points to a supernatural god" - no it doesn't. For a start what creation?
I agree. I have never encountered any phenomenon to have been created _ex nihilo_ - that is instantaneously pop into existence by the sole volition of a god. Each and every phenomenon I have ever experienced appears to have _emerged_ from necessary and sufficient antecedents over some finite period of time no matter how brief or epoch the interval.
You just pop in once a day then? And... the creation you live in. So how do you believe that this physical, rational, law guided universe came to be? Maybe you've never thought about that before? Probably aren't willing to start thinking either... You're too busy being the mindless cynic you and the other trolls on this channel take such pleasure in being. You know, you and that other silly dude who can't stay way... What's his name? Oh yeah. Theo Skeptomai.

Which means that you do believe things that are inconsistent with basic math, simple logic, and empirical observation. Dude, you checking your brain at the door ≠ everyone else is stupid. Love how you think yourself genius when you repeatedly state that natural phenomena that you observe in nature can be explained naturally. However, accounting FOR the material universe and natural world and the immaterial laws that govern it... Hey, don't rack your brain, you might smash the pea. (Proverbs 1:22, Romans 1:18-22)

@@jessebryant9233 Are you so insecure of your position you feel the need to attack other people?
Oh my what fragile existence you must have.
As for the universe, we don't know yet but we're getting there. That doesn't give you license to insert your god into a gap in our knowledge. That is what's known as an argument from ign0rance. These arguments are when one argues that something is true, not because they can demonstrate or offer evidence that their claim is actually true, but because they cannot think of any way to disprove their own unsubstantiated claim. These arguments tend to attack other claims to demonstrate their validity instead of offering any evidence that they are in fact independently true. This what you're doing.
You have no evidence for your god let alone that it created the universe.
Now run along as it will soon be bed time, there's a good boy.
God bless them :)
People think that Jesus said "Peace on earth".
The actual verse says "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send [or bring] peace, but a sword." (Matt.34)
Nice eh? Following the family tradition of killing people. It would be worrying if it wasn't a story and the Jesus chap was real.
@Our Savior Your god is a very jealous god with an inferiority complex. You'd think that the almighty creator of everything would have a little more self esteem so that he wouldn't worry if someone had wrong thoughts like not loving him as much as their mother or father or daughter or son.
Nobody who is familiar with the scriptures says anything such thing... And what is wrong with what Jesus said? Dude, you are either committed to the truth or you're not. Why don't you share what you believe to be the truth with us? Do you think that there will be any division between those who embrace what you claim is the truth and what others claim? Surely we can at least agree on this self-evident reality: Whatever the truth is, it is what it is and can only be discovered.

@@jessebryant9233 You're like a broken record, go away you're irrelevant here.
@12:20, define "evolution", micro or macro?
His underlying premise is that there is a supernatural God. He points to creationism as the reason we know that a supernatural God exists.
And if a Supernatural God exists then the idea of supernatural events is not so unbelievable. The underlying problem here is with his premise.
He just matter of fact state that creationism is true. But he provides no evidence for that. He just states it as a matter of fact.
He relies on the gullibility of his followers. That gullibility is displayed here in this comment section. Not one person here has evidence to back those claims despite saying that it’s plentiful.
Why do supernatural events no longer occur? Without mentioning personal experiences. Something documented, let's avoid the unfalsifiability fallacy.
Cliffe's point is that we know the universe is designed by an intelligent being because of the order and design of the universe. Order does not come from chaos. We know that there must be a living being who created because life comes from life. Never have you seen life come from nonlife. That's the premise.
@@Malhaloc You keep saying "we know" - no we don't know. For your information the universe has been shown to be inherently chaotic so you're wrong. Quantum mechanics and radioactive decay present challenges to the entire idea of causality.
We have seen life come from non-life because we exist, we don't know how life started but that does not give you license to insert your god into the gap, that's just another god-of-the-gaps fallacy. Especially when your god supposedly popped into existence about 4500yrs ago and the universe is 14b yrs old - see the problem?
@Our Savior Ok you show evidence for the supernatural events, the fact is they don't happen and have never happened.
Good to hear Cliffe say he doubts God on a regular basis.. me too Cliffe, it's good to doubt things.
So you DO believe that God exists! Well, that also demonstrates that you're a liar... But we knew that already.
@Our Savior ??? where did I accuse you of lying Jacob? .. quote me exactly the words I used. Not what you think I said. I do not recall accusing you of telling a lie.
@@sterlingfallsproductions3930 Not so sure Sterling, I'm guessing he does have doubts, given all the scientific data out there which seems to go against the types of things he's invested his life in, I would say he asks himself questions all the time as most of us do,.. could I be wrong? Given that ALL religions cannot be right.. it follows that they COULD all be wrong. So, yeah, i think he doubts.
@Our Savior So you're NOT going to tell me EXACTLY WORD FOR WORD what I said that makes you think I accused you of lying?. eg, .. Tom... YOU SAID THIS ...( followed by an exact quote of what I actually said) I answered your questions as best as i could from my perspective Jacob.. you accused me of not answering them "correctly" .. so you would only accept my answers if they correspond with what you happen to believe? ...if any of Jacobs friends in here who happen to be reading this , know exactly what I said in terms of accusing Jacob of lying.. please quote exactly what I said so that I can be made aware of it, and check that I DID say exactly what I'm supposed to have said.. that would be great. Thanks. 🙂
@Our Savior btw Jacob, I'm off to bed now. Hopefully catch up with you in the morning and you and your friends can tell me EXACTLY what lie I'm accusing you of. Signing off now. Peace and Love.
I disagree with faith having anything to do with intellect. Faith is believing in something you cannot see. Intellectually thats stupid.
Good convos as usual! If anyone wants to dive deeper into the scientific evidence for God, please check out Dr. Hugh Ross, he's a Christian apologist who also happens to be a brilliant astrophysicist! He has plenty of presentations here on YT :) also, Dr. Frank Turek gets into some of the science in his presentations as well. As a science person and future physician myself, they helped me on my journey to belief in Jesus. Thank God!
Have you watched any of his presentations?
There is no scientific evidence for any god. That is the point, and the reason these questions and debates happen. And certainly not for the specific christian one you believe in. That one is easily debunked because it falls outside of logic, reality and physical law. Has been a no show, absent, ever since it was introduced. Ask them how much of those scientific stats they got from the bible. The very thing you people deny is what you use to try and promote magical made up beings ....
@Our Savior Ghosting ?
I can see yours and my comment.
@Our Savior I think it is just a flaw in the system, go out and then come back in. I did and once it was gone, then came back and it was there again. Nothing to fret...
@Our Savior Only it is not happening to me. That was also my point. No, not in my thread. Under the persons comment. This thread. I can see my thread and this one my friend. You saw my comment back to you so....
Love this guy! A far better way to reach people than sitting in a church every Sunday re reading and hearing the same dead messages. This is living in Christ!

Actually, there is no evidence that so much suggests that naturalism even could be true, let alone is true. Your faith is literally blind, deaf, and dumb.
no where do you say what you would replace what you sees as evil Christian beliefs with. You have never demonstrated the supreme attractiveness of your own beliefs but you do demonstrate the ugliness of your beliefs through your disparaging remarks.
He did not claim that he "knows", he gave strong solid evidence. Did you watch the video?
Jesus is coming soon! Accept Him as your Lord and Savior, Repent and turn away from your sin and start to follow Him! 🕊
Why should we believe that there are no supernatural events.? I'll give you some reasons as given by the Wheel of the Law -
1) Do not believe in anything because it is rumored and spoken of by many.
2) Do not believe merely because the written statement of some old sage is produced; do not, be sure that the writing has ever been revised by the sage or can be relied on.
3) Do not believe in what you have fancied, thinking that, because an idea is extraordinary, it must have been implanted by a Deva or some wonderful being.
4) Do not believe in guesses, that is, assuming something at haphazard as a starting point and then drawing conclusions from it reckoning your two and your three and your four before you have fixed your number one.

It is rather like the very foolish people of Sicily who ignored the warning signs of Mount Etna's imminent eruption in 1669. Had the people heeded the signs, they would have survived, for they had plenty of time. However, they ignored the warning signs and as a result, more than 20,000 people died!
To NOT decide IS to decide!
Can we apply that logic to the people of San Francisco Mike.. they are sitting directly on top of a major earthquake faultline, ..at some point in the near future there WILL be a major earthquake that will kill countless thousands of innocent people. Why would God create a planet with faultlines which create major earthquakes, ..could God have created a planet WITHOUT those tectonic plates moving?

In order to better answer your question, let me ask you...
Have you ever read the Bible?
If so, what books have you read?
One either acknowledges the existence of a god (theist) or one does NOT (atheist).
Likewise. One is either convinced of the truth of the claim or one is NOT. There is no _decision_ to be made. A person does not choose that which he or she believes.
One can decide to examine his or her own convictions. One can decide to view his or her conviction from a different or oppisong perspective. One can search for new facts concerning his or her conviction. And one can have his or her convictions challenged by peers (like here in this discussion). But one cannot choose that which he or she believes.
@@mbgrafix Yes, i've read the Bible .. it's one of the main reasons why I'm no longer a Christian. I've read a ton of books on lots of different subjects Mike.

12:38 Evolution and God do not go hand on hand. God tells us in Genesis that He infact did not use evolution, but created everything made that has been made. There is not a single instance of a living created thing becoming another living created thing. Monkeys do not become humans. Fish do not become monkeys. Bacteria do not become multi-celled organisms.
Stuart says an atheist believes in miracles..in regards to the creation of the universe. As an atheist i have no idea how the creation of the universe came into being, I'm certainly not claiming it was a miracle. It's perfectly acceptable to say "I don't know" to lots of hard questions like that. Is there life on other planets?, again, i don't know, but I'd be surprised if there wasn't, given the sheer number of galaxies and stars out there, it's highly likely there is other life out there but I don't know for sure.
Very dishonest argument. You may not know what created the universe, but your claim as an atheist is it's not God. So you do claim to know what did not create the universe. So there is no avoiding your own position, there is logical consequences.
@@souzajustin19d It's not dishonest Stride Steams, it's an accurate answer.. i have ABSOLUTELY no idea how the universe came into being, it's way beyond my scope of knowledge, as an atheist, I am not claiming with any type of certainty that God absolutely 100% does not exist, .. in order for me to claim such a thing I would have to have knowledge of his non existence would I not? .. i have no such knowledge. It's an unknowable as i see it. How do you know for certain the Christian God of the Bible exists? Could you prove it to me? Has science discovered the Christian God? .. or any type of God?

@@bonnie43uk if you accept the possibility of a God creating this universe, then you are not an atheist. Yes there is plenty of evidence for the existance of God, it's an academic standard to understand in every philosophy class. God is not a science question, it's a philosophy question. Science could never prove logic, that does not mean logic does not exist. You have a category error.
@@souzajustin19d I do not believe your Christian God exists SS, can i prove it? no, just as you cannot prove he exists.. I'm sure you believe strongly he does exist, but actually proving it to other people around you, especially non believers and believers in other Gods is not so easy is it? How would you go about proving it to someone who believed in a completely different God? .. could you convince them with your arguments?, or does it just come down to personal belief. Do you think the girl student who Cliffe was talking to in this video was convinced by Cliffes arguments? .. i highly doubt it, .. even Cliffe himself said he doubts Gods existence at times.. that's not really a ringing endorsement of his existence. You say it's a category error on my part, but even dictionaries have different interpretations of what an atheist is.. the best thing to do, is to ask an atheist what it is they actually believe. Most of the atheists I know would not say with 100% conviction that God does not exist.. even Richard Dawkins does not totally rule it out. I'm open to the possibility of some kind of supernatural being existing.. but as things stand.. as to what caused the creation of the universe.. i have no idea.
@@bonnie43uk Do you think if everyone belived the earth was flat, would it be so? Of course not. So it's pointless if the evidence convinces you or not, you are no closer to truth just because you are convinced or not convinced. The evidence does not change, Cliff may wake up and change his mind and say the earth is flat, but the evidence remains it's round. The catagory error you are making is you don't use science to prove God, you use philosophy.
Why should we believe there ARE supernatural events? Especially when we have no examples of any.
Because of the evidence, known laws of physics, and your own belief that good and evil aren't just ideas that exist inside people's head-generated by little more than chemical reactions and electrical impulses-which cannot be either right or wrong, true or false. You know, for starters.

Why you skipping over me, bra? Or did your comment get ghosted? That's been happening a lot lately, if you aren't already aware.
A lot of the commenters on this channel claim they have evidence for their imaginary friend Jesus but not a single one of you can show me that claimed evidence. Most if not all of you don't even realise that his name, if he had existed would not have been "Jesus" or "Yeshua"
Jews in this period wrote Aramaic in Hebrew script so his name would not be "Yeshua" but as "Isho" or "Lesous". He didn't actually exist so it's somewhat a moot point what he would have been called.
I suggest any of you who doubt what I say go visit the Israel Museum and ask for evidence of Jesus and see how you get on.
His conception is true of all myth/legends (virgin birth) as is his birthday and where he was born. The day he was supposedly crucified was actually given at the Council of Nicaea in 325CE and no records exist of his crucifixion but is the same way of dying as many other so-called "Saviour Gods".
In short he was a myth and none of you can prove otherwise.
No one on this channel has told you that they can give evidence for an "imaginary friend".

I appreciate Cliff but he focuses too much on reason and logic. I prefer prophetic, Spirit lead evangelism. When you pray for someone and they get healed or you give them a prophetic word that nobody but God knew, you'll have their full attention. I don't try to get people to believe in God but to follow and experience Him.
"...a prophetic word that nobody but God knew..."
How would you ever know that?
I actually appreciate the fact that you're honest about what you want to see/hear from these people. Usually, believers will pay lip service to the importance of reason and evidence, but their actions directly oppose them. At least you have the guts to reveal what I expect most religious people's attitudes are.
You don't care about well-reasoned, well-supported ideas, you don't want reliable evidence for your claims, you don't have any interest in how to accurately describe reality, you just want to hear the things that make you feel warm and fuzzy. Which is fine if that's how you want to live, but you can't claim it has anything to do with real truth.

The organisms we study change with their environment because the information is within them.
The number of a given organisms population may increase or decrease, the traits of an organism may become more or less prominent with changes to it's environment, but the org. Continues to be a form of itself, so you have micro-changes but not macro-evolution. You have abilities or activities change but it's still in it's same phylum, etc.

AMEN brother Cliffe Knechtle I really appreciate your Christ centered and Scripturally accurate content for the furtherance of The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ ❤️👊. This has nothing and everything to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college student. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of but not macro or micro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus.

One should not believe a claim of a supernatural event until when (or if) there is sufficient reason to believe it. I'm not saying that there are no supernatural events or miracles , but I think such events would be very rare ( if at all) and belief should be withheld until there is good evidence.

Hi, can you explain why nowadays miracle of healing such as Jesus and his disciple which have authority from Jesus does not happened nowadays. Is there something going wrong with the Christians nowadays that cant perform that? Since Paul encourage people to explore and understand more of the Holy Spirit can do.
Good question, it's one I have often asked myself and the response I get from Christians in general (not all) is that such healings ARE happening today. Which would be great if it were true but the problem is, the stories they tell regarding these alleged miraculous healings are so vague that they cannot be either verified as actual divine healings or falsified as such.
I would have thought though that if such miracles happened and they could be confirmed that they would make front page news, and yet, there seems to be a decided lack of interest in them within the mainstream media and as a skeptic I have to ask myself why there is such a disinterest in something that would be so world changing unless there is a lot of doubt about the validity of the claims? 🤔 And this is what I am unfortunately inclined to believe, although I would love to be wrong.

For example, imagine what the alleged feeding of the five thousand would have been like on a raw TH-cam video, what would it have looked like if it were true? What would we have seen? Food appearing out of thin air into baskets? I don't know 🤔
All I know is the Jesus Christ of 2000 years ago didn't have TH-cam or any other social media that would follow him around, uploading either recorded or live videos of him saying and doing miraculous things. There were scribes back then who might have followed him and written down what he said and did, or at least, what they THOUGHT he said and did and there would have been a lot of second-hand information too.
Remember, it was mainly an oral tradition based culture back then, rather than just written, even though there was writing too, being a scribe was considered a 'skilled profession' back then, because not everyone could write, most people just talked, that is what they mostly depended on for info back then, word of mouth but it would take years before any writings that were done were selected and put together into one book and by then it was difficult (to say the least) to be sure how much of what was written about Jesus was accurate and how much if it might have been made up or exaggerated or the result of people just being mistaken and there is no way to properly check, unfortunately, it's too far back, all the alleged witnesses are loooooooong dead, so we either have to just trust the writtings or doubt them.
In today's world, however, it could be very easily checked, information like that would be ready to be seen in an instant. I mean, no sooner would Jesus speak today or do a miracle (if he really could) and news of it would be ALL around the world in minutes, you can imagine watching the news every day about him and it would make the top story, much bigger than Covid or the war in Ukraine, we're talking the BIGGEST story in the history of humankind "Divine Being Who Can Heal the Sick and Raise the Dead Walking on Earth", there might still be skeptics but there would be much less because there would be so many experts to confirm their power, doctors, scientists, investigative journalists, you name it. Thanks.
Such events in the Bible were always for the purpose of demonstrating that one was a prophet or confirming the words of a prophet. We have no such prophets today. The revelation of God is complete (the canon of scripture) and thus there is no need for them.
@@jessebryant9233 So how do these scriptures _demonstrate_ that this god revealed any truth through prophesy?

Way to not answer the girls questions and instead steamroller her with a bloviated non sequitur, Stuart.
Stuart did a great job! How would you have responded? What do you believe in and what is the evidence that it’s trustworthy?! We would like to know!
If you’re uncertain and open please consider Jesus as the way the truth the life!
Why doesn’t Stuart believe there was a flood? It’s literally in the bible
He does. He’s just not trying to waste time arguing for it because it’s more reliable to show evidence for the New Testament and encourage us to read the words of Jesus than to get mixed up into silly arguments defending evidence for flood.
Although there’s a lot of evidence in many cultures of a flood😂
God bless you have a great day!

I love the videos on this channel. One point of criticism would be the surrender to an evolutionary worldview. The Bible is clear that before the fall there was no death and everything was good. That precludes the ideas of evolution by natural selection before the fall of mankind.
And while i'm at it. Who wrote the title to this ? It would be ''There ARE No'' not ''There IS no''.....
Stuart Cliff you wouldn't believe this if it was written in any order mythology you believe through faith and not evidence every debate you've ever done confirms this
Put two basic definitions together and you get man made = Supernatural. Thus a Supernatural source aka God is required.
Nature definition: the physical world and everything in it that is not made by people.
(Humans do things beyond natures ability)
Supernatural comes from the Latin word supernaturalis, meaning beyond nature.
Humans do things beyond nature =
Humans do Supernatural things.
Supernatural cannot come from nature as it is Beyond Nature thus requiring a supernatural source aka God.
How basic observations lead to God:
Mind- Supernatural events need supernatural sources, surgery is a supernatural event which comes from the human mind thus the human mind is supernatural, its source pointing to a God/god like being. (Supernatural = Beyond nature)
Body- Space matter and time began to exist which requires a source beyond space matter and time pointing to a God/god like being.
Spirit- In order for objective Morale laws to exist there needs to be a standard of absolute good to be able to measure anything less results in subjective Morales this points to a God/god like being.
You don't have to believe anything at all exists but you behave as if cars in the road exist because that is what the evidence suggests so you treat it as if it exists. I believe these observations is all that is needed for us to behave as if God exists and if there is a God we should do all we can to find and understand this being just like we would if evidence of any other life is found.
I would then suggest the Bible is a excellent starting place since it indicates that Mind, Body and Spirit is the image of God and is the image man was made in, as this is what we observe in the world since the claim and observation match that is itself evidence for the Bible that evidence considered with the claim that the Bible is God introducing himself to man shows this would be a smart starting place to seek God.
None of the above leads to and actual "god" existing. Just to the ability of humans to philosophize concepts.
@@DRayL_ Christian, Muslim, Atheist (No God) each is the same sharing the belief they believe is true.
But the truth of the matter is the only one that shouldn't exist in an age of science & knowledge is the Atheist (No God) position.
God is just a title meaning First, creator, sustainer, it is however a title that people have a lot of baggage with so rather than use that title I will use a synonym of that title "Source".
A source does not need to be able to think or feel or be personal or have personhood, but a source a first that results in a chain that creates and sustains the universe is required.
Universe either started requiring a source or the universe is eternal in which it is the source.
Either way a source is needed each group may call this source something different and claim different things about it but each group agrees a source is required so the only position that should logically not exist is the Atheist (No Source) position, we can dispute about features, attributes, functions of the source but we cannot logically deny a source exists.
Just to be ahead of the whole Atheist meaning, people say they're Atheist but what they should say is they are Anti-Theist because that is generally what they are, I just used what most will understand and even added (No God)/(No Source) for clarity and I will provide even more clarity and define the positions so you can understand how it is not lack of belief but a lack of consideration that makes someone an atheist aka the ignorant position.
All people are Atheists, same as: All criminals are innocent - True for every crime they didn't commit except that is not how we operate, one is enough to be something. 1 crime = Criminal, 1 Child = Parent, 1 Answer = Apologist. Atheist is a passive position that a baby or child has until they ask, God? At which point God has entered the world view thus no longer passive, no longer atheist, it's like virginity once its gone you never get it back. You than become either Anti-Theist, Agnostic or Theist.
Follows no God but rejects at least 1 God claim = Anti-Theist
Follows at least 1 God, rejects all other God claims = Theist
Considers God but doesn't accept or reject any God claim = Agnostic
Doesn't Consider any God claim at all = Atheist
The reality of the situation is true on its own and does not require you to agree thus disagreeing because you think, feel or want different is meaningless, so if you just want to disagree and argue than you're wasting your time as your thoughts, wants or feelings on the matter do not affect it at all.
Neville Goddard defeated you easy, the Spiritual fact laughs at churches, Imagination is the oldest truth by one power, worries are specialist fearing death, your stuck in times demands, God in man you can't believe, still looking outside yourselves is classic christians beliefs.

The Gospel: Plain and
Simple
“But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent
beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your
minds should be corrupted from the simplicity
that is in Christ.” - 2 Corithians 11:3
Ask someone today if they are saved and
you will most likely hear responses like these:
“I have accepted Jesus into my heart.” Or “I
have made him Lord of my life.” “I’ve been
baptized.” “I said a prayer.” Sounds all good
and churchy don’t it; but it is difficult to de-termine whether or not a person actually
knows the gospel that saves them. These useless phrases don’t describe a thing about what
the gospel is and has left a devastating effect
of people not knowing what it is that they are
saved from nor how they are saved; which
leaves a more serious effect of people questioning their salvation.
Let’s not muddy the simplicity of salvation that is in Christ with vague church
sounding phrases that do not communicate
anything. But rather present God’s word with
clarity and assuredness. So here is the gospel:
plain and simple.
Sin was passed upon all men by one man
Adam, and death is a consequence of this sin
(Rom 5:12). Mankind has an eternal destiny of
condemnation and wrath - Hell - because of
this sin (Rom 6:23). No matter what good
works one might do we are still found sinners
in the sight of our Creator God. And all unrighteousness and those who follow get indignation and wrath. We cannot be found
righteous for by God’s law we are found sinners (Rom 3:19-20). If we have broken even
one law we are found guilty.
It is for this reason of not being able to
create our own righteousness and being born
in a sinful flesh that we need a savior (Titus
3:5). Christ is that Savior, God manifested in
the flesh, sinless, died in our place on a cross
2000 years ago. Taking upon him the wrath
and judgement that was intended for us sinners. And it is through his bloodshed, burial,
and resurrection on our behalf that we are
able to have peace with God and forgiveness
of our sins (1 Cor 15:1-4, Col 3:14). This good
news is unto all but only those that believe in
it are made righteous in Christ (Romans
3:22).
It is then after we have heard this good
news of Christ’s righteousness available to us freely, that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit
and we are now part of Christ’s body the
church (Eph 1:13)
There is nothing that we need to do, no
good works that are required, and no bad
works that can separate us from our new position in Christ (Romans 8:35-39).
Faith and belief in this information from
God’s word is the gospel.
The gospel is not accepting Jesus into your
heart. The gospel is not making him lord of
your life, it is not saying a prayer and it is not
being baptized with water.
So next time someone asks you if you are
saved. Give them the clear assured answer
“Yes! And let me tell you why

Give Me an Answer - Why Should We believe That There _Are_ No Supernatural Events?
I think that is a better way to phrase the question that is more grammatically correct.
For me,...I'm quite willing to see an actual "supernatural event". I hope I do! Honestly! But I've yet to see one, so until then, I have to be honest on the topic and question the veracity of "supernatural claims". I know people make claims of this sort, but without actual verifiable evidence to back it up, it isn't useful for me.
Just to be clear, you will only accept a supernatural event that YOU witness?
Those who are determined to misunderstand will.
@@saintpaulofyoutube4416 It would help....because people are often duped,...even their own self. People can say something and others will just believe what they say. If I witnessed something myself, that would take the component of "the potential fraud" out of the equation.
@@InfoArtistJKatTheGoodInfoCafe Misunderstand what...and whom are you referring to?
Devon.. to be clear, you do not trust someone else's testimony to their experience because why? They could have made a mistake or lied or be mentally unstable or on drugs or ??? But you would trust your own internal witness that your mind was not deluded or under some stress or illness of some sort or subject to some trick of the light? That is, how would you verify what you personally saw was real and not illusion?
I talk with hundreds of different believers in a god every year.
Your attitude towards the term that is used for disbelief in some gods or a specific god is incorrect. You do not believe in some gods just as i do not believe in some gods. Yet most of you tell me i have a world view because of it, i cannot be rational, i cannot even know what right and wrong is if there is no being telling me what right and wrong is .. blah blah blah . Whatever....
But you are the same towards Hanuma. You cannot just assume the position that your beliefs are correct and everyone else is the atheist.........
No ,,, sorry.
That has not been established.. And the exact reason you guys need faith. The exact reason these questions, debates, websites, books, lectures, speeches and videos take place....
Your disbelief in Hanuma is not because you want to not be under a gods rule, it's not a world view, it's not a creed, a system, an anything other than the disbelief in Hanuma ....... Like we are told and labeled as because we do not believe in your god either....
So if you are so superior to me and my ungodly flawed way of thinking..,. Explain in detail just exactly how your disbelief in Hanuma is different from my disbelief in Yahweh ?
I'm sure by now many of you have seen my comments.
I do not believe in the Christian god. You do not believe in the Hindi monkey god Hanuma.
But i would like to at least be able to come together in some way, some form of understanding one another...
What if we turn the tables a bit and it were you visiting a Hindi page....
And these things were said to you over and over...
There can be no right or wrong, no basis for morality without Hanuma.
You cannot speak about anything coherently because you speak for the evil one.
The world view you have is against Hanuma and is therefore incoherent and evil.
You are not able to distinguish between good and evil because you do not have the spirit of Hanuma in you.
You just want to be your own god and do what you want...
You cannot have a clear understanding or coherence of anything in the Bhagava Gita unless you have the spirit of Hanuma in you so you cannot judge it or comment on its validity......
These are the things you say to us.
This is as clear, remedial and plain of a question that i can ask.
What makes your disbelief in Hanuma different then my disbelief in Yahweh ?
It’s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of YHWH. We will all die one day. Just keep that in mind to all those who don’t believe. God desires that nobody perishes. So choose life!
Prophecy is happening. Amen.
Have you ever observed this 'YHWH'?

Stuck in your naturalistic and dogmatic faith, and demand that others views be demonstrated to you naturally... which of course would mean they are not supernatural? Of course you are! Your philosophical bias is showing... As is your radical inconsistency. You've never tested your naturalistic faith. No, you just... believe! Silly cynic.
The idea of agnostic, or searching, reminds me of Allis in the Wonder Land, when she comes to the fork in The road an don't know what way to go. The Cheshire cat said, where do you want to go?

When you use the term "contemporary evidence" that means evidence occurring at or close to the time of the event recorded by reliable sources.
That's why your bible isn't considered evidence as it's a collection of stories and nothing more. Basically nothing in is true, in case you didn't know.
@@ramptonarsecandle funny thing is I was thinking maybe you were a teenager 😁. Actually I am on my phone and reply between working, so if spelling, and punctuation off quite sorry. Yes it, can also mean evidence of our time...look it up. But you say contemporary of Jesus, so what is your problem with the four Jewish writers and the accounts of eyewitness? What is your evidence that the bible is just stories? Your do realize if that is what you base all your history on, you wipe out most worlds history.
@@dentonhahn2907 I'm hardly likely to be asking for latter day evidence for Jesus am I?
I presume you're talking about the Gospels? They are not contemporary and they most certainly are not eyewitness accounts.
If you actually knew your gospels you would know it's actually stated in Luke that they are not eyewitnesses but the stories had been handed down. And remember your bible is the claim and not the evidence.
As for my evidence for the bible being stories - are you being serious? Please tell me you realise Adam & Eve and Noah and Moses are all just stories? The Museum of History in Israel has acknowledged that there is no historical record of a mass exodus of Jews from Egypt. The story of Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt simply never happened.
And no history would be wiped out because we have evidence for real history we have nothing for your bible.
Pretty much the entire book is a story, from memory there a bit in Acts that is based on truth, the rest is made nonsense.
Atheism correlates with autism. This is important because our atheists brothers and sisters are disordered in their thinking.
Is it any wonder that they accept that an orderly universe could arrive from disorder?
How am I, one that is autistic (Asperger Syndrome), and readliy admit and quite aware of my 'disordered' interpersonal social cues, disordered in my _thinking?_ Is my position in atheism irrational in any manner?
@@theoskeptomai2535 well that explains a lot. YES, your STATED "position of atheism" is fundamentally irrational.
I admire hard atheists because they have the intellectual honesty to say "there is no God " instead of attempting to hide they ball by saying ridiculous things like "I do not acknowledge the existence of any gods " or "I just lack the belief in gods ". They (and by they I mean you) don't want for there to be a God but they also don't want to do the work necessary to ground reality WITHOUT God.
Your autism stands in causal relation to your atheism. Your problems forming relations with people is magnified in your refusal to form one with God.
Furthermore, your inability to read social cues leads you to go to a forum and make a complete fool of yourself by asking ridiculous and inane questions. Then you convince yourself that those that find you tedious are somehow afraid of you .
I see there are supposed to be three replies [before this one], yet only one is showing up [from Our Savior]. I wish TH-cam would fix this issue!!

Read Thomas Reid instead.
WHY should I take it from you? Is your perspective more honest, researched, or accurate than my own?
No one, not even Cliffe can detect the supernatural. The supernatural has more in common with things that don't exist, than anything else.
How do you know that? And what do you mean by "detect"? What is your worldview and why should I believe whatever it is that you do?
