“The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.” - Werner Heisenberg (Noble Prize Physics Quantum Theory)
Clawed1234: the name sounds familiar but the main thing is how so many top flight scientists are Christians and others believe there is a God or something behind the creation of the universe. I have been asking atheists to explain how two different results can come from a thorough examination of the facts. People like Dr. James M. Tour and Dr. Hugh Ross. Devout Christians. The silly answers I get only show the lengths the non believer will go to avoid facing the facts.
@E R Which particular God did you meet i wonder? I also wonder how you established you were at the bottom of the glass.
@@michaelbrickley2443 Isn't Collins simply asserting God and then using God's assumed supernatural ability (defined as such, not observed) to explain whatever he feels science can't explain, plus everything science can explain? Well, that's just too easy since that's everything. Supernatural can explain anything and everything without effort. Science isn't allowed to do that. Science has to make the effort to explain the mechanisms, processes, or elements involved in any observed thing, form those into falsifiable hypotheses and then devise experiments to try to disprove those hypotheses. If something doesn't yet have an answer, that's the way it should remain until new information comes along to revisit the question of explaining a thing.
Regarding Tour, I was disappointed in his mischaracterizing evolution by putting the cart before the horse. He takes an existing life protein and calculates the odds of that one protein being constructed by chance, and claims the odds are so astronomical that it can never have evolved by chance. Evolution doesn't work like that. It doesn't care what proteins are produced. Any protein at all can be produced by any random mutation. Unlike Tour, evolution has no goal in mind. If evolution randomly produces a protein that contributes to reproductive fitness, it gets preserved and it's one of the proteins we see today simply because it happened to do something. Had a different set of proteins appeared from different mutations, the ones we see today would be different and life would be based on those instead.
@@laceystinson the God of the gaps? Haha…I don’t use scientists to prove God. He proved Himself to me. Explain miracles and the resurrection evidence. Explain scientists such as John Polkinghorne, James M. Tour and others, looking at the evidence and coming to faith in the One True God, Yahweh. You’re just reading the atheist handbook and it fits your narrative. Too many critical thinking humans agree with me. And as I said in the beginning, He proved Himself to me. He has proved Himself to many others. The evidence that points to the weakness in atheist faith is laid out in Geisler and Tureks’s book, I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist. You should read it, might wake you up
@@michaelbrickley2443 really? How do Spanish Medieval Jews feel about that.
One true God, wastes over 1000 years competing with variations of Himself, and taking, NO action, on supposed 'detestable', things? A little odd. I guess breaking Sabbath will get you a full trial, and even a divine appearance, ala Numbers 15 - but actual pogroms, an inquisition, pro slavery apologetic priests, schisms, and wars - do not get anything, so comparable?
Huh, I never knew that the man who directed the human genome project was a Christian, or that he came from near my hometown. Lately I've had a lot of doubts and questions about whether or not I really believed God exists. Thank God that I found this video, my doubts might just be over...
How the journey going 2 years later? Have you made the connection and do you pray?
I pray you've found God, especially now that we are watching Revelation unfold in real time. Thing is, it's impossible to please God without faith, so if you're looking for a definitive answer of whether He exists you won't find it in academics or "science." Your faith only grows by hearing the Word, it grows spiritually. Some people never get to that place ig. I know, definitively that God exists but that was a spiritual journey and not a physical one
God bless man. I’m no scientist but definitely in a high science field and I’ve often ended up in the same place this man has. The question of consciousness, the real root of it, is just too much for science alone for me.
@@LouLouLion Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Today I would like to discuss a very real threat to any Faithful True ®Christian. I speak, of course, about the demonic practice of rational thinking.” In these modern times, where evil people worship science, that spreads lies and blasphemies against God in our public school and classrooms, there is an increasing pressure from the unsaved upon True Christians to embrace their religious practice of Logic and Reason, which is a euphemism, of course, for slandering God’s Holy Bible. Why do I say this? Because, when anyone tries to applies rational thinking to the Bible, it suddenly doesn’t seem to make as much sense as it normally did, suggesting the Bible would be filled with contradictions and such. This, of course, already proves that rational thinking is a form of demonic possession, clouding the vision of the freethinker to the Truth.
@@dr.rickmarshall6697 Do you feel better? I hope so.
Thank you for the speech. I’m about to start my journey of faith. I can relate how we arrive at the turning point. I do not want to resist any more. But it’s scary that if I will turn into one of those religious fanatics that are full of dogmas and narcissism. You, sir, are a great role model.
If you find fanatics scary, I think you will be just fine. ☺️
I relate with your fear of becoming that kind of Christian. What helps me is to remember what it was like before I was a believer. How would I have wanted to be spoken to? Hope this helps. God be with you on your journey.
🙏🏾
Jesus isn't a religion. Religion binds, but Jesus sets you free. And whom the Son sets free is free indeed.
Ultimately, Jesus is the role model. You gain knowledge of him by simply listening to Him. The way it works with him is that he rubs off on you as you walk with him.
I am reading the bible for the first time in my life, after beeing atheist for 20 years. Jesus is truth!
Praise The Lord that a man of Faith in God led this incredible discovery of the Human Genome 🙏 God bless you more Dr. Francis Collins and your family and generations
Many scientists through our history were Christians or Muslims, for a long time it seemed a reasonable conclusion. Of course, now that we have a much deeper, comprehensive understanding of the universe, most scientists are atheists, because there is not sufficient evidence to warrant belief. That's why Christians believe on faith, which is just meant to replace evidence because if someone had a good reason to believe something, they wouldn't need faith
Eyes have they that see not, ears have they who hear not.
Blessed are they who believe and have not seen.
Truly iAgree...

But how do we explain why the jeopardy EXISTS?
And what knowledge Eve and Adam did or didn't, or were SUPPOSED to, have?
Terry Creagh Amen.
God did not create evolution. He created the world and all that is on it in 6 days. Billions of years is a lie from the devil.
Listen to the scientists that complete debunk that nonsense. It's truly awesome.

Remember when you were a small child and about to do something wrong, but you felt that little tug at your heart that told you "NO"? That was the spirit trying to guide you... Or when you were older and trying to figure out something difficult but you just couldn't and finally it occurs to you, so as to make you say "oh yeah! Why didn't i think of that before?" - because HE just gave it to you. We say that because it seems so simple when the answer is perfect. That's how we know what comes from our Father, by it's perfection. When we don't listen we say things like "something was telling me" or "i had a gut feeling" but really this is how God communicates with every life form. Remember what Jesus said, "consider the birds of the field, they neither reap nor sow yet our Father feeds them" and HE can cause them to see a worm in the grass from the highest treetops. How much more can HE cause us to see? How much more important are we than the birds? When we get a big flow of information/understanding, we call it an "epiphany" and it can change your whole life. Learn to clear your mind. Learn your types of thoughts. Don't give any time to negative thoughts or thoughts that don't help you. "The Spirit is the true teacher" and as long as you're wrapped up in the world, you'll never hear HIM. ❤️🙏
Very good
@The Muckler your parent's are receiving guidance as well... They were kids once. Do your parents cause you to recall past events or thoughts to come together at exactly the right time to cause an epiphany?
@@MississippiDan1 Any proof of these claims?
@@MrChiangching disprove what I've said... It's up to you. I've given you enough info. The next time something "occurs" to you, ask where it came from. If it's not perfect, disregard it because it's not from our Father.
@@MississippiDan1 You've made the claim, the burden of proof is on you. I have a invisible flying unicorn, disprove that.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
Watch anyone die in faith for God spoke the creation into life. Everything comes to a man in vision whether you’re asleep or awake or blind. That’s why the word was made in the flesh and to this day he reaches out down the streets and sits on the bench waiting. He has shown himself to those who aren’t looking and to those who search with their whole heart
Sorry, so where do parasitic wasps eating caterpillars alive factor into this, @weston saathoff ? And which bits of nature did or did not fall under demonic influence or sabotage, post Fall? Such that not all visible bits of nature may have only one clear hand or intent, behind them now?
And where was the Word, and doing what, during the Inquisition in Spain, if I could have some clarity on that - please? As it was so... wasteful.
And showing self only via nature to those who... aren't looking, runs the risk of them inferring more than one creator behind it, or some different one. Or even a generic one. It may lack some specifics, when it comes to who they should direct their search, or worship toward.
I also assume He is not so... Jealous, now?
@@chrissonofpear1384 he's very jealous. And those who have the incorruptible seed in them truly know. The sifting is coming in hot. You'll either die for Christ at the hands of the "intellectuals," or you'll make a Christ into your own image, which is what the VAST majority of "Christians" are doing, have done, and will continue to do, as Jesus Himself prophesied that they would. As well as what the Apostles prophesied. There truly is nothing new under the sun, including "scientific discovery".
In the End of Days, one of the best things I ever heard
was the ending prayer of "Don't Look Up."
Dearest Father and Almighty Creator,
We ask for your Grace tonight.
Despite our pride.
Your forgiveness despite our doubt.
Most of all, Lord, we ask for your Love.
To soothe us through these dark times.
May we face whatever is to come in your Divine Will
With courage and open hearts of acceptance.
Amen.
@UC8muPVqBHJ_4Fzcb6R3-XJg Might take two hours to get good, but it does!
Why is don't look up the best prayer? ...don't understand?
The Christian god is a punisher from what I have read.
@@PicturesofTravel Creation ... Destruction ... Genesis ... Revelation are very much related.
@@kenmcclellan ....from all that I have read about the God of the Bible, I would try everything possible to avoid an eternity with him.
I prayed that our Lord may finds us all where we are. May He give us the courage to seek for His face and endure in our spiritual journey. May our personal testimonies serve to Glorify God Alone, Amen!
I can't see the connection to this video explain.
Well said Laura..I am reminded of Jesus Luke 18:8 "when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on earth?" Two of us at least!
I've just found you, dear
Why could Satan reach Earth, again...?
chris sonofpear1 what exactly are you asking? I can probably answer your ?.
God does not step in,he never stepped out.
@@faithtruth8036 - Young Earth Creationism doesn't explain any of the wonders we see in nature. It contradicts pretty much all we've learned in the last 300 years. It is an embarrassment for Christianity.
@@hansweichselbaum2534Bold statement but the claim is that what we see was designed by an infinitely powerful and wise being who is out side and beyond it's laws. Now the big bang hypotheses breaks the laws it proposes to explain.
@@faithtruth8036 "The Big Bang hypothesis breaks the laws it proposes to explain" …. there is so much wrong with your statement and it would take a lot of time and space explaining this to a non-scientist. I can only say that you need to have some understanding of science to critique science.
Let me ask you a sincere question: Coming back to Francis Collins, what do you question after listening to his talk (I assume you did listen)? Are you questioning the way he practices science, or do you question his belief in God?
As a scientist and philosopher of science I can assure you that his science is impeccable. It is recognised by every biologist, or let's say 99.9% of all biologists, believers and non-believers. So I assume that you criticise his belief in God, or his approach to Christianity. Please clarify to me what you don't like, or don't accept. I am genuinely interested.
@@hansweichselbaum2534 I never mentioned Frances Collins. Light speed is broken in the big bang, the law of cause and effect is broken, no adequate, despite some attempts to do so, has been offered to explain why the anti- matter and matter did not destroy each other at the start, why is all the matter not distributed evenly, instead we find Galaxies, why do some galaxies move in the opposite direction to others. I see you make the logical fallacy of appealing to authority but your 99.9% is probably incorrect I must conclude given all the Biologist I have heard denying the believe the Darwinian hypotheses. As evolution is not it's self a salvation issue I can't even guess on whether some one I never met is a true believer I hope he is.
@@faithtruth8036 "I never mentioned Frances Collins". Well, we are commenting here on a talk given by Francis Collins, so it makes sense to refer to his speech. You haven't heard of biologists accepting evolution? Probably not surprising if you get all your information from CIM (as I assume from the link you provided 3 months ago). By biologists I mean people who publish their work in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
I don't know why you insist on discussing the Big Bang theory, which by the way has been proposed by Georges Lemaitre, a Christian. I can't see what the movement of individual galaxies has got to do with the Big Bang!? If you want to defend the view that the universe is 6,000 years old we can lower the level of this discussion and concentrate perhaps on a topic in geology, any topic, or ice cores going back hundreds of thousands of years, or the nearest galaxy being 2.5 million light years away. No need to puzzle about anti-matter.
This was a wonderful talk!
Thanks to all who put the money and energy into making it happen!
Prayer is thanking our Lord, praising Him, before anything. Blessings
My God, how brilliant Francis Collins really is. He explains everything.
yes, as the bible says "The fool has said in their heart their is no God" And Adam and Eve were covered with the Glory of God, till they sinned and needed a blood sacrifice to get a fur to cover their nakedness. I am a Jew come to His forgiveness and friendship in amazing grace., thanks Roy and all
Exactly:)))

@@markkw2454 thank you for your non biased commentary. I'm sure you're an expert on the field

Thank you Professor, I have been a follower of Jesus Christ since I was 7 when I accepted him as my saviour. I didn't grow up in a home where I was brought to church. As a child I went to a mission downtown and learned about Jesus. It wasn't until I was 21 that I truly recieved Jesus and was baptized into the family of God. Backslide for 17 yrs and have been the prodigal daughter, came back home in 1996 and have been following Jesus for the past 24 years. So much joy, love and peace. Love Jesus ❤❤❤
Jesus exists only in your mind.
Free will, to do good or evil, is a product of Love. Bible tells us that God IS love. Love does not do control or take away someone's choices even if those choices are do harm. THAT right there is an extremely high view of humanity.
The more I learn..the more I believe..
Patricia Guerra, it’s funny how that works. God be with you. Seek Him daily. Shalom

HuckFinn the Bible never said the earth was made in 6000 years. Some people come to that conclusion based on the genealogy of Adam. But that still doesn’t say anything about the age of the earth. I haven’t yet to find scriptures supporting that.

How awesome to hear an engaging speaker on a tough topic. Thank you for the presentation.
Wonder if we still look at him the same way! And sincerely hoping God is watching out for us!
How amazing to hear a deeply intellectual individual elegantly verbalize spiritual ponders into words...
What if evolution or Intelligent design was factual and all accepted by everyone ? Liars bring fun to the challenge , liars will never create life just claim to being close to ,empty claims are a good sign of truth full achievement .
Spanky 541, you said it for me.
Exactly! That’s how I’m feeling watching this tonight
@@obiecanobie919 well technically they could both be true with God either way, but yeah macroevolution/common ancestry does not make any sense anymore after all the discoveries we made with DNA/complexity and the fact that theres no intermediate organisms, the only truth on that mattter is microevolution/speciation within each family
As an agnostic, this is probably one of the better arguments i've heard.

24:06 💡 Consideration of intentional design in the constants of the universe, pointing to a Creator's existence.
24:47 🌌 Francis Collins discusses the plausibility of the universe's existence and the application of Occam's razor, leaning towards the idea of a creator.
25:15 🧬 Collins explores the idea of a deist god based on Einstein's marvel at mathematics and the concept of fine-tuning arguments.
25:44 📜 Collins references C.S. Lewis's argument about the moral law as evidence of something beyond the material world.
27:08 🤝 He discusses human uniqueness in following a moral law and explores the universality of this law, raising questions about its origins.
28:43 🧬 Collins examines altruism and moral behavior from an evolutionary perspective but questions whether it fully explains the most profound acts of altruism.
31:06 🌟 Collins contemplates the presence of the moral law within humans as evidence for a God who cares about goodness and morality.
32:02 🛤️ After a journey of exploring evidence, Collins shares his personal conversion story, becoming a Christian, and finding peace and joy in his faith.
39:47 🔬 Collins provides scientific support for evolution through DNA analysis and explains how genes and pseudogenes reveal common ancestry.
44:13 🛑 Collins counters the idea that science can disprove God, highlighting the limitations of science in addressing supernatural concepts.
48:40 🙏 Collins reconciles evolution and faith by proposing that God's plan included evolution as the mechanism for life's diversity.
49:07 🧬 DNA is the language of God, reflecting the concept of "biologos," connecting life with God's creative word.
50:32 🌍 Theistic evolution harmonizes faith and science, suggesting that God's perspective of time differs from human perception.
51:42 🤔 The question of evolution being purely random is considered from the viewpoint of God's presence outside of time.
53:04 🔍 Intelligent Design (ID) claims like the bacterial flagellum are countered by the idea that complex structures evolved through gradual adaptation, not requiring divine intervention.
54:54 ❌ Intelligent Design (ID) is viewed as a "God of the gaps" approach and lacks scientific validity, as science continues to fill gaps in knowledge.
56:04 📜 The interpretation of Genesis in light of evolution involves considering literary, historical, and cultural contexts rather than a strict literal reading.
58:54 🙏 Prayer is a means of developing a relationship with God and gaining insights, promoting listening and reflection.
01:01:12 🕊️ Faith involves an element of doubt and humility, recognizing the limitations of human understanding.
01:06:15 🔬 The scientific evidence for an old universe and Earth contradicts the idea of a recent, mature creation.
01:10:47 🧬 The ongoing evolution of humans is explored, along with the ethical and religious implications of future human enhancement.
01:12:10 🧬 Mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA differences: Mitochondria have their own genes, but many mitochondrial proteins are encoded in the nucleus. The arrangement of genes in mitochondria and nucleus might be an ancient event with a common ancestor.
01:13:09 🧬 Evolution and Genesis: There's a tension between evolution and passages like Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 15 that discuss human death as a result of sin. Different interpretations exist, with possible answers including spiritual death, free will, and the intention of the scriptures.
01:14:59 🧬 Human Death and Adam's Arrival: The interpretation of when human death began in relation to Adam's arrival varies. Some suggest human death began with the arrival of Adam's soul, while others emphasize a distinction between physical and spiritual death.
01:18:12 🎥 "Expelled" Documentary: The film "Expelled" misrepresented the academic treatment of intelligent design supporters and portrayed an inaccurate image of the scientific community. Intelligent design's scientific credibility is not widely accepted.
01:19:35 🙏 Miracles and Faith: Miracles, including events like Jesus' resurrection, are considered possible if one believes in God and that God authored natural laws. They can be seen as instances of God showing love and compassion.
01:22:06 🙏 God's Role in Tragedies: Tragic events like the Holocaust involve human actions driven by free will. God's non-interference is attributed to the existence of free will, which is considered a part of God's plan.
01:24:00 🧬 Genetics of Altruism: Altruism may have genetic components, but hereditary influences on generosity and altruism are minor compared to other factors. Genetic mechanisms don't necessarily diminish the role of God in altruistic behaviors.
01:26:46 🧠 Agnosticism and Belief: Agnosticism is a valid principled position, but it's important to explore the evidence and not use it as a means to avoid confronting spiritual questions.
01:28:24 🌀 Determinism, Free Will, and Quantum Mechanics: The uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics introduces an element of uncertainty that challenges strict determinism. Quantum mechanics allows room for free will to coexist with physical laws.
01:30:46 🧠 Journey Towards Faith: Each individual's faith journey is unique. While personal experiences and evidence can influence one's beliefs, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. The journey from agnosticism to belief is a personal exploration.

I am a poetry professor. Joseph Brodsky, a Russian poet, said that language is God. So this lecture fascinates me. Language I assume has a genetic basis which speaks our soul into a physical form. But language, especially poetry, takes us beyond the natural world into spiritual experience. As a mystic, I must agree with Carl Jung, one of the founders of the science of psychology, who said he did not believe that God exists because he knew from his own experiences that God exists. I love this lecture and I encourage curious, open minded people to explore through prayer and meditation and their dreams the existence and the nature and guidance of God. Thank you Professor Collins for helping to bring together science and religion as partners on the path to truth.
Another great thinker about language and God is Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy who wrote Speech and Reality and Origin of Speech. Both are mind-blowing!
Science - the after thoughts of God ...
The DNA code can also be seen as a language although it has fewer words.

Wow this is an astounding teacher here whew thank you god for bro Francis Collins , he is a great archeologists also on his digs in Israel

Well now, Collins should view Robert Sapolsky video...”Are humans just another primate”..nope! Genius lecturer from...yes an unbeliever that for reasons only known to him hasn’t made the connection yet. Praying that he will of course!
Miracles are astounding and my good fortune has allowed me to see many. Those occasions were associated with an evangelistic event. Why the Lord doesn’t just do a big world visible event and draw all in would preclude faith. I went from agnostic to sold out in a matter of seconds. Something entered the room visibly in the form of light but not just any light. This light (the Holy Spirit) permeated every atom and I found myself undone. That was 35 years ago and still has me undone and loved by Him more and more on that daily basis. May H find you also.
God did not create evolution. He created the world and all that is on it in 6 days. Billions of years is a lie from the devil.

Robert Sapolsky is right
I enjoyed the video so thank you for posting. One of the main points that I can totally relate to and agree with is that the belief in God as a journey and not simply something that people jump into without putting any thought into it. The reality is that there are people in this world that DO NOT want God to be a part of their lives. That is why they can never and will never see the existence of a God being rational and logical because it is not the answer that they are looking to hear or see.
We must pray for them to receive the grace to believe. No one can call Jesus Lord unless graced by The Father. We must pray for our fellow man to receive the graces that bring belief. We know the eternal end away from God we want for no one and neither does God who wills all men to be saved but who, as a gentleman, forces no one, yet leaves evidence everywhere for His children to discover His infinite love of all of us.
If you can prove gods exist, I would be glad to have them in my life!

Last night in my dreams, Jesus came to me with a question: he wanted to know how a revolving door works.
It was really stimulating and encouraging discussion, objectively relating science, nature and God's supernatural role in creation. Dr. Collins scientifically provided how faith and hope help us to birth an eternal relationship between human beings and supernatural God. We must appreciate the distinct nature of Christianity as a relationship between the human beings and supernatural God . Our demand to bring down God to our level has to be submit to God's supernatural authority so that He reveals Himself to us graciously,

Be aware that the Roman-Catholic church/Rome is behind the NWO which is the ancient Baal cult of Babylon, ROMAN-Catholics are NOT Christians. They are idol worshippers worshipping the female goddess Ishtar/Easter/Isis/Venus and they call her "Mary" but thats not the Mary of the Bible.
Thats the "Statue of Liberty", the babylonian queen but also represents the female part of the devil (Lucifer can be male, female or BOTH - Transgender Propaganda).

I am really excited if a great minnd like Prof. F. Collins would encounter Dr. Scott Hann to settle or expound any doubt about science and faith.
When we finally come face to face with God - I strongly suspect that our greatest surprise is going to be that God is nothing like we thought he was during our lifetime. In one of the psalms God tells us - "Be still, and know that I am God." - Not trying to understand in order to believe, but rather, simply believe, and spiritual understanding will come.

As a scientist, Collins is a giant. As a theist, I would place in in the religious Hall of Shame.
omg a genius who believes in God. This is incredible Its too bad Richard Dawkins could have been that smart. I think Einstien and Dr. Collins would have incredible conversations. Yes there is evolution but God created this incredible mind. This is a case that proves science and God go hand in hand. If it were not for God none of science would have existed as it does. All praise to God for giving us awesome minds like Dr. Collins
Jill Vander Plaats I hate to let you down but Einstein did not believe in a Creator.
He only believed in the god of Spinoza, I will let you research what that means.

Humanity has been duped by these ancient superstitious fables. We've all been duped. And the worse part about it is that those of us who have been duped to a point of no return actually going around duping others in the name of evangelism and religious preaching, etc.
Everyone has their own personal "apologies" for these outrageously absurd myths, and none of those apologies hold any rational water whatsoever.
It's truly unbelievable how we, as humans, have been so totally gullible to these outrageously silly myths. And some people take them extremely seriously and somber, but in fact, these myths are as utterly silly as they can be.
Christianity tries to remove itself from the absurdities of the Old Testament and try to create a new religion based upon a supposedly "loving" God in Jesus. But that really doesn't work. All Christianity ends up doing is using Jesus as fodder to support a God who hates unbelievers again In fact, the story of Jesus is based upon the standard demigod superstition which was actually quite old hat by the time the Jesus fables were created. Jesus is a demigod superstition no matter how much Christian want to deny it.
None of these fables have any merit at all. Yet people, for some strange reason, feel such a desperate need to support these religions to their death. This probably stems in-part from an underlying subconscious belief that if they stand up for this God they will indeed appease the God and be rewarded. And they may even have a feeling that if they fail to support these myths they will somehow be turning their backs on God and becoming a sinful "unbeliever".
These myths are without a doubt one of the most powerful brainwashing schemes ever created by mankind to be sure.

In the Greek and Hebrew language, the word 'fear' actually has 3 meanings, this is why it is more difficult to translate to English, as we don't have an appropriate word to represent some of the true uses of the words and a general 'fear' meaning 'awesome respect' is used.

@@kathleenmckenzie6261 So we must rely on stated actions, of this god, to find out what the meaning is, I guess.

I am a witness of some entity talked to me when I was 12 year old playing alone in a park. I still remember I was asking God if you are there give me flying powers. If you exist give me power to levitate. I repeated that for long long time while playing with a swing. I still remember the loud voice coming from one of my shoulder. I still remember silence everywhere. And then I heard "if we break your legs then you will be happy?"
You can say anything but that sharp sharp and strong voice, it was not loud but it was definitely not from my brain. It was not like the voice we hear in our brain. IT WAS NOT MY BRAINS VOICE, IT HAD A DISTINCT SOUND". Well since then I believe in entities and if that entity cannot be identified then my friend that is also an alien(s).

My father taught me at a young age that God is the Creator of all the sciences and that He is the Master scientist.
Absolutely!! You had a great Dad. Those that put off the notion God created, I show them...
Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We KNOW these laws. We have NO doubts about them. We also KNOW that the laws of nature can't come about without a Lawgiver, God.
So if you want to pretend to be smart, please give me the laugh by giving your science how creation really happened by natural means. Also, throw in how we got the laws of nature, naturally.
At a young age a childs mind is very susceptible to what their parents say.

It is the most humbling thing to finally come to accept that God knows just how to reach every individual on this earth.
And it is the most exciting thing to to know that His grace , patience and love has followed you all your life for a moment when He reveals Himself to you..
From the most primitive person in the farthest corner of the earth, to the most educated and sophisticated person, from a destitute homeless or drug addict to those who live in royal palaces, how God in His infinite wisdom reaches out draws us to Jesus Christ, The Way The Truth and The Life.
And He does not discriminate the way we do.
His love is boundless and does it not humble you that this GOD, CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE should love you with unconditional love? ♥️

I don't understand what is your point you're talking about the Quran. I don't believe in the Quran.
@@carloswater7Mark 10:6 says, “But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’” From this passage, we see that Jesus clearly taught that the creation was young, for Adam and Eve existed “from the beginning,” not billions of years after the universe and earth came into existence.
Jesus made a similar statement in Mark 13:19 indicating that man’s sufferings started very near the beginning of creation
The parallel phrases of “from the foundation of the world” and “from the blood of Abel” in Luke 11:50-51 also indicate that Jesus placed Abel very close to the beginning of creation, not billions of years after the beginning.
Jesus also believed in a literal global flood: Matthew 24:38-39
By most standards, Jesus would qualify as a Young Earth Creationist. Of course what I was implying is that this video trolleys better with other religious book I gave the Koran as an example. He also states that he could live with the idea creation is an extension of God that is pantheism. God is before and beyond His creation and when He destroys it and brings the new heaven and Earth He still is.

His presentation of science and faith harmonizing is flawless. Every Atheist should watch this video because to believe in no God takes far more faith because it goes against science and the only logical conclusion one can come to.
It`s more convincing to take magic mushrooms. He could see God without man made constructions like churches and language itself.
@@ivangoran4461 I guess when one dies they'll know one way or another. It's all religious beliefs because they both require faith without absolute proof.
It doesn't require faith to not have a belief. You either have the belief or you don't. If you don't, then it's a fact that you don't and you know it's a fact. Faith plays no part in that.
Faith is when you believe something that's not supported by evidence. Without evidence, you can't know that it's true, but you might believe it anyway. That's called faith.
@@laceystinson you just defeated your own argument and don't know it. You need to rethink out what you just said because you contradict yourself
@@roughcollielover1784 Um...you can't bother yourself with stating precisely what my contradiction was? Let me do that for you. The contradiction comes from your imposing your personal definition of "atheist" onto my implied use of the term.
Your OP is only correct for a restricted subset of atheists. It is incorrect in all other cases. Your claimed contradiction stems from your statement that believing in "no God" (that no gods exist) goes against science and is illogical. It doesn't go against science, but it is illogical if one is using strict logic.
I might add, you missed the fact that I was referring to a "lack of belief" in a god, not in positive belief in "no God." In the former case, there is no belief to even refer to, except to state there is none. The former has no burden of proof since no positive claim is being made. Only the latter, the positive belief that there is "no god" has a burden of proof.
All atheists lack belief in some god somewhere (unless you somehow believe in all gods). If you're a Christian lacking belief in Hindu gods, it would be bad form to insist you are an atheist for that reason. You're still a theist even though you would also be an atheist with respect to Hindu gods. The theism is what matters to you, so your self-labeling should be respected. Nevertheless, you might go that step further by claiming the Hindu gods "do not exist," in which case you have a burden of proof to show they don't exist (if anyone challenges you). This puts you in the same boat of contradiction you accuse me of.
It should be noted that having a positive belief that there are no gods is not necessarily a fail simply because it can't be proven. The time to believe a thing exists is when there's sufficient evidence to support the claim. Until such time, the more logical choice is to abstaining from believing it exists.
Both justified belief and lack of belief are contingent upon the possibility of new evidence being presented. Belief is ascribed in degrees of certainty based on the suficient quality and verifiability of evidence in hand. Some things are low on that scale, while others quite high. Some may be so low that it's practical to simply assume the thing in question does not exist. That can always change, of course, if and when valid and compelling evidence for its existence is produced.
Wow ! Always have said this . Science has only proven God is real that science shows us how God made it all work not by chance but by design 🙏💕
This is solid. His cred brings significant weight and his clear presentation is compelling. I will have my kids watch this. As an aside, I always enjoyed going to the Burger Continental in Pasadena.

Francis Collins is a great example of one who uses both his head and his heart to assess reality. Too many either get bogged down in the details or else swept up in the emotion, but it is entirely rational and at the same time satisfying to recognise that Christ gives us real answers to build relationships and community on a foundation of love and forgiveness. It only seems to work with the substance of faith which holds things together, since we need the inspiration of a God who set the supreme example of self sacrifice. Jesus Christ lived entirely for our well being, denying himself in life and even laying down his life to rescue us from our "self preservation" mentality which actually destroys us in the end.
